GIVES UP HOPE By BARRY FARIS Davy Fultz evidently has not given | up final hope of getting the baseball organizations to recognize some of the Baseball Players Fraternity’s-de- mands. Despite repeated cold shoul- der turndowns by the big baseball powers Fultz is as warmly champioa- ing his cause as if he had been given all the encouragement in the world. But whatever comes of the mys- terious antics of the Baseball Players Fraternity’s chief press agent, there is little danger of any sensational work like that employed last sum- mer. To call a baseball strike now and have its members ignore the union’s demand for a walkout would be damaging to both the players’ cause and the national game itself. Fultz’s shrewd activity among the chief moguls has caused some specu- lation as to what he has up his sleeves. With the Federal league question still rankling baseball heads are hardly in a temper to listen to any demands from the play- ers. And whether Fultz realizes it or mnot the players themselves do not seem inclined to force any is- sues just now. The Federal league has absorbed about all the major league talent it can stand. There are indications that it has even over-dosed itself with the best playing ability on the market. But at any rate there is no haven now awaiting for the stars of both big leagues, should their re- quests to the National Commission be turned down again, granting that is what Fultz is doing. Federal league teams are suffering from poor gate receipts as are all the big leagues this season and unless Pres- ident Fultz has some real dope to talk about will hardly get the mag- nates’ attention for any length of time. In fact it is not known what Davy has on his chest. He is so elusive that not even other fraternity agents know his.plans. He holds confer- ences after conferences with these agents and then they all depart smil- ing, but silent. He probably is raking over cer- tain demands made last year by the fraternity, and which the commis- sion so flatly turned down. If he has any new lears he would not be so anxious to guard them. For with- out publicity all the demands in the world of the fraternity would avail nothing. And old boy Davy knows this as well as any other press agent. On the handle of a new parasol is a rotary fan to provide currents of air to the face of au ser.

OUGHT TO BE REASONABLE (Continuea from Page 1.) interfering or in any way prejudicing the discussion between the United States and Germany, he might elab- orate on Germany’s position in this crisis caused by the loss of American lives in the Lusitania disaster. But whenever questions pertaining to possible compromise between the United States and Germany were {brought up, the secretary asked that he not be pressed to answer anything relating to possible negotiations. “Germany is fighting for freedora of the seas,” he said. “It is far from Germany's intention to interfere with ineutral rights or to become an auto- crat of the oceans.” “Could you explain in more detail how Germany is fighting for the free- dom of the seas?” I interrupted. “I fear that America will not un- derstand. Well, England always claimed to be the dictator of the high seas,” claimed von Jagow, ‘‘until our recent maritime activities.

Best Methods of Kllllnq and lhlpplnl the Fowls. It is not the largest turkey that sells the -quickest in market; says M. K. Royer in the American Cultivator. \The demand generally is for fat and plump birds of medium size, for which at all seasons an extra price can be obtain- ed After the holidays turkeys weigh- ing eight to ten pounds sell best, . Quite as much care and attention are needed in killing, dressing and ship- ping as in the growing. If this cannot be done to good advantage it is best to sell the birds alive. So much de- pends upon proper marketing that small growers should either dress and gell to their home market or sell ‘to gsome one who makes a business of handling such stock. None but well fattened stock should ba killed. There is no profit in send- ing poor birds to market. For twenty- tour hours prior to butchering no food must be given. and entralls to become empty and avoids much of the danger of spoiling. When the crop and entrails are full it depreciates the value of the carcass and quite frequently taints the meat, preventing its being kept for any length of time. ing, one being to tie the feet togetber, & i A TURKEY GROWN FOR THE HOLIDAYS. hang the bird on a pole and cut the throat so as to bleed freely. In killing one of the most important points 1s to bleed freely. Another method is.to suspend the fow! by the shanks. head down, and cut or stick in the roof of the mouth. ‘This severs the arteries and cuts into the brain, causing insen sibility and a free flow of blood from the mouth Another method is to break the neck by a quick twist or Jerk backwaid. When the neck is completely disjoint ed the head is pulled away so as to form an open space in thé" neck fn which the blood may settle. This meth- od calls for considerable practice and is not very popular nowadays. The old time methdd of killing was to be- bead the fowl with an ax or hatchet. The carcass should be dry picked. This is done immedintely after killing. care being taken not to break the skin or tear the flesh. It is then hung up, head down, in a cool place until all anlmal heat has left the body.
