Babe Ruth Now Is A < Valuable Ball Player New York, June 30—Babe Ruth deposed king of home-run sluggers, is ’ playing the beat ball of his career. 1 His failure has proved his success. [ Vtith every pitcher in the league “on | to him,” the Bambino, who startled | the world two years ago with his home run smashes, was faced with extreme difficulties. No one had enough nerve to serve them to him in the groove. They studied his batting style. They schemhis defeat. His playing this year has shown that is wasn’t entirely dissipation that made him hit so few home runs last year, it was the opposing pitchers, who plotted and accomplished his downfall. At the wind-up of last season, the , Babe was confronted with failure. He knew that something must be done. With a tummy as big as Noah’s ark. he was a poor outfielder. A little beer now and then may be relished by the best of men, but it doesnt make a man break the base stealing record. So Babe decided if he couldn’t hit home runs as easily as be formerly did, he would become a baseball player. And thats just what he did. The Bambino, trained down to the minute, is a tricky, clever, fast ball player. He can field and hit with anyone in the league. His swatting average hangs around under .350, and he races all over the Yankee stadium for flies. He can smack them to left field as easily as to right. He is constantly gumming the works for the opposing team, stealing bases, bunting and outguessing his rivals. Babe is more valuable as a baseball players to the Yankees now than ihe ever has been. His brilliant catI ches and long, accurate throws are helping immeasureably to the defense and his timely batting is going far toward helping Huggins hold the lead. . e—- — OF RESPECT In memory of Brother William Potts, who died June 20. 1923. Once again the "Great Spirit" hath summoned, through death, a brother Red Man to take the long trail to the "Happy Hunting Grounds, to the Kingdom of Ponemah, to a life in the Land of the hereafter.” He has been diligent and faithful in our Tribe’s labors of Freedom, Friendship, and Charity, and has contributed freely of ain in reliving the necessities of the widow and orphan. As a recompense of aid in releiving necessities of the pludit, "well done,” from the Great Spirit. And whereas, the all-wise and merciful Father has called our beloved and respected Brother home; and he having been a true and faithful member of our Mystic Order, therefore be it Resolved, that Pocotaligo Tribe, No. 203. Order of Red Men of Reservation of Indiana, in testimony of our loss, tenders to the family of our deceased Brother, our sincere condolence in their affliction, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent ,to the family.

SACHEM

CONDITION OF WINTER WHEAT REPORTED AS “VERY UNEVEN” The condition of the crop of winter whyat is very uneven as shown by the semi-monthly crop report of the Department of Agriculture. While it has improved in some sections it has headed short over rather wide areas and has suffered much damage from heavy rains and floods. Stands also ure thin in many sections and chinch bugs and the Hessian fly are reparted to be numerous in the heart of the belt. It is being harvested in extreme southern areas with fair to good yields. In other areas it is mostly headed and heads are filling and ripening well. On the whole, the condition of the crop has probably improved somewhat during the last two weeks. Spring grains generally show improvement. Harvesting of oats is in progress in southern areas with generalyy satisfactory yields. They are heading quite generally in other areas. ProsAwts are good as a rule but to the crop as a whole it still somewhat backward. Barley is in excellent condition in practically all areas and is being harvested in California. Spring wheat is in fair to good condition as a rule though suffering some drought and grasshoppers in the north west. Acreage has been considerably decreased in central western areas. Rice sowing is nearly completed and stands are satisfactory as a rule. Flax seeding is almost finished and where up, the crop looks well. Corn planting in nearing completion. Cultivating is backward in most areas but has been delayed by rains quite generally and fields are weedy in many localities. Conditions varies. Is good as a rule though in some localities the crop has been badly damaged by floods. The crop a whole is backward but has been making good growth of late. Transplanting of tobacco is nearing close. Shortage and poor quality of plants is complained of in many sections. Cotton has deteriorated in some areas of the south Atlantic States due to rains and needs hot dry weather and cultivation. In some sections of the southwest stands are poor, fields are weedy and much replanting has been done. Tin re nas been a considerable abandonment of acreage in a few areas. The crop is still bavkw;ii<l. o CARD OF THANKS I wish in this manner to extend my sincere thanks to my friends, Masonic order, and the Methodist church quartet, for the kindness shown me during the sickness and death of my beloved husband, Philip L.
