SENSATION OF THE BIG LEAGUE YEARIT IS THE COMEBACK OF FRED MEKKLE

Baseball critics agree that the comeback of Fred Merkle, former Giant star, is the big sensation of the season. Fred, jeered and ridiculed for years and slated time and again for the skids, is playing- brilliantly at first for the Cubs and has been batting in the cleanup position on Fred Mitchell's team.

Attention Americans! Politically we scrap. When a foreign foe assails us we are a unit and put up a solid front for the protection of our beloved country and flag against a common enemy. We stand by Uncle Sam and endorse our president, until the crack of doom, unless victory perches upon our banner prior to that time. We are into a real war, where no favors are shown, having resolved itself into the "survival of the fittest." Is America a nation of skilled marksmen, emphatically yes. not only marksmen, but fight at the drop of the hat soldiers. The pioneer element of our country both male and female, were conversant with the use and handling of fire arms, in the pursuit of game and securing of meat, which meant family sustenance. In every home in the outside districts of America, there is now standing in the corner a gun, which was in former days the family meal ticket. Different Types. It may be an old Kentucky rifle with hammered barrel and a stock extending the full length of the barrel. A cow horn powder receptacle, scraped to a paper thickness and bent to conform to the body. Bullets run by hand, the patching having done duty as the tail of a shirt. A carefully adJusted flint fitted above the flash pan, with no guarantee than an explosion would occur when desired or the trigger pulled. The unwritten code of just enough powder to cover the bullet was the accepted loaflL The rille was the family pride and divided honors with the spinning wheel as a utility factor, both were family necessities. In those days all Americans were accredited marksmen, every man a made-to-order soldier ready to report and fight because he was able to accurately shoot, a requisite then or now. In offices and homes of the present generation a very different condition has prevailed. The meal ticket of today is not the gun or rod. This has been supplanted by the ticker tape, or the formulating of corners on life's commodities. Turning of the spinning
wheel,. has relegated Into the winding
of the victrola. Cross country hikes in search of game are now made in automobiles. The shooting spirit of 1776 has been a neglectedart, elimin
ated by the passing of our pioneer relatives.
Need to Wake-Up. Wake-up, American, and again be
come a nation of skilled marksmen. This applies to both men and women and should be started at once, while
a sufficient number of the "old guard"
remain to teach and direct the rising generation along the proper lines. Citizens, regardless of sex, should be educated in the use and handling of fire arms. Boy scouts, merchants, bankers, farmers, laborers, clerks, professional, military and femininity, every person who loves their country and flag, their liberty and honor, should immediately learn how to shoot, regardless of sex, creed or color. To be able to accurately shoot increases your efficiency as an American citizen at least 100 percent. Every municipality, school and club, should immediately organize a home defense reserve, with gun club auxiliary. At least one afternoon each week should be designated patriotic day, at which time the ranges should be open for gratuitous instruction. The home defense guard should be taught military tactics and shooting accuracy. The boy scouts should be given a gun and taught to correctly and safely handle fire arms, that they might not be a menace to themselves and comrades later in life. Any boy who is of requisite age to qualify as a member of the boy scouts is old enough to be taught safety first in the handling of guns. On patriotic day compulsory gun instruction should be imposed upon the entire populace of the city and all taught to salute Old Glory. Those called in the draft or on the eve of cantonment duty, should be taught to shoot and handle fire arms, thus conserving valuable time, before they are members of Uncle Sam's family in camp.
Formers Are Urged to
Cultivate Com Fields "Farmers who have neglected to cultivate their corn fields should get busy at once, according to J. -C. Kline,
Wayne county agriculture agent, as the hard crust in the field and between the rows of corn is injurious to the crop. - "This crust causesr a loss of moisture," Mr. Kline said, "and a cultivator should be run through the rows every week or fen days to break up the crust. The corn needs moisture if the crop is to be good. I would suggest that a mower wheel or something of that kind be used."

dozen bases during the week and now has credit for 23 thefts. This mark is six behind Sisler, who Is leading. Ruth Leads Home Runners.

It precipitates minerals and impurities in solution, thus increasing the efficiency of the battery. These remarkable features are covered by U.S.Basic Patents belonging to the Vesta. They cannot be used in any other battery. Vesta costs no more than ordinary batteries. Ask any Vesta Service Station man to explain Vesta superiority.
