White Sox Catcher. 1 hicago critics, in trying to discover a reason for the sudden fall of the White Sox 'rom first place to the second division, blame the injury to Ray Schaik. This youngster Is a wonderful catcher, and all the twirlers work bette- with him behind the bat than any of the other catchers Callahan can boast of. it Is claimed But that is hardly the cause of the slump, for | Callahans fltchere have been doing good work; but the team has played poorly, and neither hits nor fields up to a high standard.

CAREER OF FIELDER EVANS Outfielder of Brooklyn Federal* Began Playing Professional Ball in Year 1907. T.ouis Evans, better known as "Steve” Evans, the brilliant outfielder of the Brooklyn club of the Federal league, was born in Cleveland, O.. Feb ruary 17, 1885, and broke into base ball as a professional in 1907, the year he joined the Dayton-club of the Cen tral league. 1^ 1908 he played with the Montreal International league "Steve” Evans. team. At the close of the season he was purchased by the St Louis Na tional club and reported to the Cardi nals in the spring of 1909. He re mained a member of the St. Louis team until last winter, when he signed with the Brooklyn club of the new independent major league. He stands five feet ten and one-half inches, weighs 175 pounds and bats and throws right-handed. Cures Collamore's Wildness. Bode Birmingham says he has cured Allan Collamore's wildness. While warming up Collamore, Birmingham noted that in his windup the pitcher removed his gaze from the plate for an instant, and decided this was his fault. By cureful coaching Birmy has taught Collamore to keep his optica glued to the plate no matter how much he dis locates himself In his windup, and the result is that Collamore is locating the plate without trouble. Passing of Jakey Atz. Beau moil l has unconditionally re leased the veteran Jakey Atz. He was secured from New Orleans and made the captain of the team, but his health refused to improve and he decided to give up the game. It marks the pass ing of a grand ball player in his day. Covers Hit Long Neck. Arthur Fletcher is the only member of the Giants to wear a collar on his baseball shirt. Arthur’s head is so far above his |houlders that he feels more dressed up when the Interven ing space is neatly covered. Houck Jumps to Feds. Pitcher Byron Houck, delegated by Connie Mack to go from the Athletics to Baltimore and help Jack Dunn’s Orioles win a pennant, has done a Danny Murphy and jumped to the Brooklyn Feds. DKjuwai mmm TO STUDY ROAD CONDITIONS Data Being Sought Looking Toward Standardized System of Local Road Management. Detailed studies of local road build ing systems in 100 counties are now being carried on by the department of agriculture in co-operation with the state highway departments and local road authorities. The purpose of this study is to dis cover the points of excellence and de fects in existing local methods of building and maintaining roads which will aid the state authorities to put local road management on a systema tized basis. The co-operating state au thorities have been asked to desig nate counties that present typical and exceptional features as to topography, character of road materials, methode of construction and maintenance, ad ministrative organization, methods of road financing and traffic conditions. From these lists 100 counties will be selected, and in these counties the division of road economics will make intensive studies. This investigation is prompted by the fact that there is at present very little knowledge as to the most ef fective and economical methods by which a county can develop its roads. At present the methods of financing local road improvements vary from Rolling a Road Surface. calling on farmers for a certain num ber of days labor In lieu of a road tax. or the use of county prisoners in road construction, to bond issues or main tenance of roads from dramshop license funds. The department will study all oi these systems with the view to deter mining what system or combination of systems works best in actual practise. There is, however, at present no standard system of keeping accounts for road building and maintenance, and as a result, while some counties know to a penny the purpose for which money was spent, others have no defi nite check or reporting system. Among various counties with the same condi tions. cost for excavation or other la bor is anything but uniform, and many counties, because of the absence of definite knowledge, fail to use local and cheap materials and construct roads which are unnecessarily expen sive for their purpose, or which will wear out before the bond issues are re deemed. The investigation will in elude a careful study of the use of con vict labor in road construction. In connection with the scientific study, the department's highway en gineers will advise freely with local officials as to improvements, and thus give each county visited the advan tage of direct co-operation, engineer ing supervision and assistance. These investigations, it is believed, will yield important economic data bearing especially on the benefits and burdens of road improvement and showing the extent to which financial outlay under given typical conditions is justifiable. The beads of state highway depart ments are manifesting great interest and are co-operating cordially in this work. These data when obtained will be published and thus made accessible to all county and state road officials. Letting Sun Shine on Highway. The earth road should have at least six hours of sunshine each day. This can be obtained either by locating the read with southern or western expos ure or by having such brush and trees as impede the drying action of the sun and wind removed. With gravel and stone roads this is not so necessary, as a certain amount of moisture is needed on such roads, especially in the sum mer time. Brings Market Nearer. The good road brings the market nearer to your farm and adds materi ally to the value of the place, whether you want to sell or live there. Seeking Dry Roadbeds. Roads should never be located so close to stream beds as to be subject to overflow, or on ground which is constantly damp and marshy. Every Citizen Interested. A highway ts no longer of purely local interest. Every citizen of a state is Interested in the roads. Watering Horses. A college professor gives the old ad vice to water a little when the horse is first brought in from work and then more 15 to 30 minutes later. If the water is not too cold it will not hurt a horse or a man to drink his fill when he comes in from work. Keep Clean Hen Houses. Eggs that are washed do not always hatch as well as those which are clean when taken from the nest, which shows that it pays to keep clean has blouses and clean nests. FAMOUS OLD MEXICAN CITY Sightseer* Look Upon Mltla as One of the Chief Points of Interest in the Country. Among the many ruined cities of Mexico dating back to antiquity Is Mitla, of unusual interest to the sight seer. The name is a contraction or corruption of the word Mictlan. mean ing "the place of death." The modern village and the ancient ruins occupy the center of an arid plain or valley, surrounded on all sides by equally arid hills, on the highest summit of which are the well-preserved re mains of a great fortress, whose walls are of a rough construc tion and' without ornament of any kind. Nearly in the center of the plain five great groups of buildings stand out completely exposed. Many of them are now nearly shapeless mounds and masses of ruins. Two great groups, however, are in compar atively perfect preservation, a third is incorporated with an old church, and a fourth, the great sacrificial mound, is surmounted by the ruins of a very ancient church. The principal buildings are of stone masonry. ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED R. P. D. No. 2, Seymour. Mo.—“My scalp broke out with fine pimples at the start. They Itched and burned so much that I was compelled to scratch them and they would fester and come to a head and break out again. The rouble was attended by such burning ind itching I could not sleep, also when I sweat it burned the same. My hair fell out gradually and the scalp kept rough and dry with itching and burning. After about two years the pimples broke out between my shoulders. My clothing irritated them. I was troubled with that eczema five or six years.

The developments that have taken place recently in the oil and gas fields of Western Canada have but added another to the many previous evi dences that, have been produced, showing the great wealth that has been an unknown asset for so many I generations. The latest reports from the oil fields at Calgary show that there is a production there that would appear I to equal the best paying fields on the continent. Experts have been on the ground for some time. It is said that one of the wells is able to produce 2,000 gallons an hour. If this is so there are but about a dozen wells in the world of greater production. Dur ing the past week discoveries of sur face indications have been made which show that oil exists over a consider able portion of Alberta and Saskatche | wan, while in Manitoba there have al so been showings. At Battleford, ; Saskatchewan, a few days ago discov | eries were made which led to the fll , ing for leases on twenty thousand ; acres of land, all having strong sur face indications. Companies were formed to carry on immediate work, and in a couple of months, or probably less, the story will be told whether oil exists in paying quantities. But there are also the coal deposits and the natural gas deposits that are helping to make of Western Canada one of the wealthiest portions of the continent. With the grain fields covering these hidden riches it is no wonder that a continued range of optimism is to be seen everywhere. Early reports of seeding of all grains being successful i ly completed all over the country are ! followed by reports of excellent and strong growth everywhere. During the first week in June most of the wheat had reached a growth of from twelve to twenty inches, with the most even appearance, almost universally, that has been seen for years. Oats , appeared equally well, and covered the ground in a way that brought the broadest kind of a grin to overspread ' the farmer's countenance. | Barley, a favorite with the hog rais | ers, had taken good root, and was * crowding oats for a first place, as to > length of shoot. Cultivated fodder grasses are getting great attention, as a consequence of the inclination to go more largely into mixed faming, and the raising of hogs, cattle and horses. The weather iB reported fine, just what is needed, and if present favorable conditions continue, the grain crop of Western Canada for 1914 ; will be the largest average in the his tory of the country.—Advertisement Bathing Popular in Baltimore. Nearly one hundred thousand baths were taken during May at the various indoor and outdoor stations controlled by the public bath commission, accord ing to a report compiled by Robert F. G. Kelly, acting secretary to the com mission. It beat the record for May, 1913, by about twenty-five thousand. Of the baths last month, 10,662 were taken at the three outdoor sta tions. At the eight indoor stations 87,530 were taken.—Baltimore Sun.

WOMEN CAN HARDLY BELIEVE How Mrs. Hurley Was Re* stored to Health by Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound. Eldon, Mo.— “I was troubled with displacement, inflammation and female weakness. For two years I could not stand on my feet long at a time and I could not walk two blocks without en during cutting and drawing pains down my right side which increased every month. I have been at that time purple in die face and would walk the floor. I could not lie down or sit still sometimes for a day and a night at a time. I was nervous, and had very little appetite, no ambition, melancholy, and often felt as though I had not a friend in the world. After I had tried most every female remedy without suc cess, my mother-in-law advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I did so and gained in strength every day. I have now no trou ble in any way and highly praise your medicine. It advertises itself.”—Mrs. S. T. Hurley, Eldon, Missouri. | Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E.
