ATHLETICS ANO PIRATE S IN LEAD Philadelphia And Pittsburg Teams Regain First Place In Big Leagues (By Henry 1.. Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, July 27—After a very -lef sojourn in second place last week, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Philadelphia Athletics packed up and moved back into the lead in the major league pennant races. In one of the tightest pennant marathons the American league has seen in years, the Athletics and the champion Washington Senators are doing the heavy battling. The Athletics are holding first place by the slimmest of margins | one half of a game. The other American league teams are out of the race but they are engaged in a battle royal for the money paying third and fourth places. The Chicago White Sox regained third place during the week end and the St. Ijouis Browns got into fourth place ahead of the Detroit Tigers. The solid smacking that the Boston Braves gave the New York (Hants and whitewashing that Dizzy Vance banded them in Brooklyn yesterday, dropped the (Hants further back of the

leading Pirates. The Pirates gave the champions a good chance to get out in front when they lost three out of their five games and McCraw did get the lead for a day until Boston went to work on them. Recovering from a slump, the Brooklyn Robins moved back into third place, although they had only two games all week and lost one of them. The Reds won three out of their five games and the Phillies charged up into fifth place by winning their only two games. The Cardinals lost three out cC ' their five games. ♦ YESTERDAY’S RESULTS 4 National League Pittsburgh, 6; Chicago. 4. New York. 0; Brooklyn. 3. St. Louis, 1; Cincinnati, 7. Others not scheduled.

I CALF CLUB WORK ' IS INTERESTING Valuable Information Given By Members In Answering Questionnaires ■ Some very Interesting data has been collected from members of the calf club of Adams County, who are feed Ing pre-bred Holstein, Jersey and Guernsey calves this summer. Answers to a quo tlonaire sent out a few days ago have ben compiled, and show that the members are progressing very satisfactorily and the race to determine the boys and girls who will attend the National Dairy Show is an interesting one. In all there are 37 calf club members competing. 26 of the members returned their questiona.'res and’of that number it was found that 16 are feeding the grain ration of bran 3 parts, corn 3 parts, oats 3 s parts ,ami oil meal one aprt. by .weight y Others are feeding similar cations II such as corn 3 parts, oats 3 parts, and r oil meal one part. Os the questlonaires returned it was v shown that IS are using skim milk. 1 the average amount being 18.88 pounds 1 daily. The amount of milk feed varied > from 14 to 24 pounds, the latter . amount Is said to be in excess to the ■ recommendations given. Seven of the , members are feeding whole milk rangt jug from S to 18 pounds. The average ■ amount of whole milk fed is 11.66 " pounds daily. One calf member reportS ed he was using a mixture of whole • and skim milk. Due to the fact that not all the 1 members are weighffig their calves at ’ the same intervals, it was impossible t to compile the average weight of the r calves. It was noted however that the ; calves are gaining from 1.75 to 2.5 pounds daily. . i instructions sent out some time ago suggested that members use burlap: , blankets on their calves in order that . the skin and hair might be better! conditioned and that irritation from . flies might be eliminated. 16 of the | members reporting stated that they l are using blankets while 7 are not. I “Results of our calf club work thus far have been very gratifying" stated ' J. D. Winteregg chairman of the club ' work when interviewed this morning. “Members we have visited in the inl tt rest of their club are showing a I genuine interest and no doubt, will develops into real farmers, he contin- ' ued. / lj An interesting letter relative to the calf club work has been received at 1 the County Agent’s Office, which reads as follows: *; Dear Mr. Busche: I am very much pleased with club >' w6rk.

UKHKN Editor of "HEALTH" LEAD poisoning, popularly known u« lead colic, used to b« quite common among painters, printers, plumbers and workers In shops and factories who handled whits lead or any compound* containing it. Better knowledge and sanitary precautions have largely reduced this condition. But every new Industry brings Its own dangers and only constant watching can guard against occasional cases of this kind of poisoning. Attention is called to a new Industrial risk by the Detroit Receiving hospital, where records show that, in less than three years, 67 men from one automobile' company had been sent to the hospital for treatment for lead poisoning. ! Investigation showed that these men had all been employed In the paint shop and that they had all been engaged in the sume work of rubbing dowu the first coats of paint on automobile bodies. The paint used for these first coats was necessarily a very heavy paint. Several coats were put on to fill up the grain of the wood. These undercoats were then rubbed down with dry sandpaper before the finishing coats were put on. The company had installed hoods with air exhausts to carry off the dust caused by this sandpapering but the exhaust had drawn the dust-ladefi air, up and past the men’s faces. The men liad not worn masks but most of them had two or three thicknesses of cheesecloth tied over the mouth and nose. Obviously, the “sanders, ’’ as they are called, had Inhaled so much of the lead-laden dust as to develop lead poisoning. A waterproof sandpaper was substituted for the ordinary sandpaper. This made It possible to wet down the automobile bodies and prevented the dust. As soon ns this was done the lead poisoning disappeared. Another large company provided for an air exhaust underneath, Instead of above, so that the dust-laden air was drawn down. As a result, lead poisoning disappeared among Its painters. Lead poisoning may result from breathing dusty air, eating with paintsoiled hands or getting lead into the body in any way. White lead is a dangerous poison. If you have to work with tt. don’t get It into your lungs or stomach. (£). 1K25. Western Newspaper Union.! “Kind” Neighbor Calls Undertaker When Man And Wife Have A “Tilt” Indianapolis. Ind..

MOURNING IN LINCOLN, NEB. i Picturesque City Mourns Passing Os Its Most Revered Citizen By Richard C Wilson, (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Lincoln. Neb., July 27. —This pic turesque little city of the middlewest today was in mourning for its most revered citizen, William Jennings Bryan. For more than 30 years, Bryan was connected with the civic and political life of Lincoln. During the summer of 1887 he came to Lincoln \o visit his friend. A. R Talbot. Bryan accepted Talbot's proffer of a law partnership and moved to Lincoln with his wife and daughter, Ruth. Less than one year after coming to Lincoln. Bryan threw himself into the political arena. On July 4. 1888. he went into a‘ state-wide democratic meeting at Seward. Neb., and delivered his first political speech. He b«came an immediate favorite through his wonderful oratory ami was elected a delegate to the state convention. Bryan first became a political can didate in 1890, when lie was drafted by the democratic party in Nebraska to become a candidate for congress to oppose Congressman W. J. Connell. He won by a plurality of 6.713. After serving two terms in congress for Nebraska. Bryan entered the senatorial race against John M. Thurston. The political debates between the two men in the campaign shook the state and created hiterto unheard of feelings in political ranks. This race was Bryan’s first defeat. Bryan then accepted the editorship of the World-Herald at Omaha and in that capacity went to the democratic national convention in 1896 to report the proceedings. There it was that the name of William Jennings Bryan became known throughout the nation as a result of his almost immortal "Cross of Gold ' speech and his subsequent nomination to the presidency of the United States.
