B Jim Shaw tops Babe in loose pitches, Carl Mays leads him in beaning the boys and Harry Harper is the duke in balks. But how that gorilla glanded baby can whamm that Spalding pebble! Pow! That boy can sure iron the wrinkles out of a hook or cure an inshoot of curvature of the spine. When Babe swings the baton, the bugs know that the orchestra is going to play sweet music. Swat Mulligan may have been from AlaBAMMa but Ruth is from POW ! keepsie. That cuckoo has spoiled more ball games than rain and umpires com bined. Many a sweet pitcher has turned sour and many a knock-kneed sutfielder has run' himself bowlegged trying to hold one of Babe's thumps down to a home run. He's furnished the fielders with many a ticket for an inkle excursion. The home town fan doesn't get much nourishment out of a distinguished- foreigner's swatting. They figure like the guy in the poem. If he swat not fair for me, what care I how swat he be? v But now that Babe is going to maticulate at Yank university, all the New York bugs will enjoy his swatting like a red ant enjoys a picnic pie. Ruth has stung many a homer at the Polo grounds, but more in sorrow than in anger. Now, everything he slams at the Polo grounds will be all velvet.' He's signed on the dotted line and will land in New York in time to kick in with an extra three-cent fare on the interborough. Gophers Defeat Iowa. -Minneapolis. Tan." 9.

Thomas Downing, Seward, Neb., looking for a load of feeder cattle cn the South Side Friday, told of the difficulty in his section of get ting help on' the farms. He said it was one of the most serious prob lems confronting farmers and stock raisers. "Farm labor has become so high and of such questionable quality that the crop acreage will either have to be reduced in some sec tions, or working hours lengthen ed," said Downing. "The hired help situation in the country is really more serious than most people realize. JVhen it is possible, to get a good man the farmer has no assurance he will stay on the job for more than a few weeks and the average farm hand is inclined to take more interest in the picture shows or going to dances than in doing his work well. High wages and short hours in the cities are also making it hard . for . the farmer to keep the right kind of help; the majority of young men do iut consider that it costs con sidcralily more lo live in the' city than it does in the country. "Even married couples are no longer dependable. One of my neighbors employed a young mar ried man a short time ago, paying him $75 a month straight through the year, provided a 5-room house, with several little conveniences, gave hini the use of a cow and a couple of dozen hens, and ottered him a good-sized garden plot and all the fruit he and his wife woulij desire during the winter. The cou ple, moved back to town at the end of 'the first month." Record Prices Beaten at Sale of Hereford Cattle Word was received from Cam bridge.
