HOLMES. . Hardly a baseball season passes without producing a *“Jinx” pitcher —one that is a medicore performer against six clubs, and is a world- beater against the seventh. He sim- ply “has it on” that club. It isn’t his speed, it isn’t his curves, or his control, or a change of pace, or any- thing like that. Old baseball men don’t attempt to explain it except by that one word J-I-N-X. This season’s mysterious person is tall, lanky Carl Weilman of the St. Louis Browns, and the goat club is Hughey Jennings’ Tigers. This sea- son, and, in fact, ever since he kicked his way into the big show, the lanky Weilman has beaten the Tigers con- sistently. A short time ago he beat them twice in the same series, and that was all that was needed to con- vince the Detroiters that he is their Jinx. Yet Weilman will go up against a weak hitting club like either Wash- ington or Cleveland. and they’ll all but knock his brains out. Cobb, Crawford, Veach, Bush and the rest of that famed wrecking crew look like bushers against the lean Brown, while some rookie will go up and plant the ball over the fence. Dusting off the records in the dim archives of baseball history, it is seen that there have been many Jinxes. It will be remembered that for a long time the Cincinnati Reds couldn’t beat Mathewson. Of course, there were a lot of other clubs in the same fix but they did manage to sneak a game from the Old Master now and then, but the Reds—never. A case a little more recent is that of A. Rankin Johnson, who beat the ‘Washington club, Walter Johnson up, every time he worked against it. Ran- kin wasn’t a wonderful pitcher, he was just average, if that, and after he leaped to the Feds he had a lot of difficulty in winning games. But he had Clarke Griffith’s goat. Tom Hughes, the old Washington pitcher, cast the same sort of spell over Cleveland. When Tom was in his prime, Washington never was out of the cellar. About all the gamcs the Senators won were due to his prowess. He didn’t look so good against other clubs, but Cleveland had no chance at all. Eddie Summers, the old Tiger star, made the Athletics eat out of his hand during his sojourn in the Amer- ican league. One day, the last good season he had, he beat them a double- header and Connie Mack heaved a sigh of relief when Summers hit the toboggan the next season. Jim Scott of the White Sox also had some sort of a charm over the Mackmen, although not to so marked a degree.

Misses Claire Nangle, Beth Evans and Helen Evans have spent a few days at Lavania, the guests of the Crookston camp-fire girls. Miss Nan- gle and Miss Helen Evans will re- turn to Bemidji this evening. Miss Kate LaFontisee, of the La- Fontisee millinery parlors, left to- day for Duluth where she will visit Mrs. McPherson, before going to Bessemer, Mich., to visit her aunt, Mrs. P. G. Guyer, for several weeks. Miss LaFontisee will also visit friends in the Twin Cities before returning to Bemidji. Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Parmelee of Minneapolis, who have been the guests of their daughter, Mrs. H. B. Brookins, and son, James Parmelee, for the past several weeks, returned to their home this morning. Mrs. Brookins accompanied them and will spend some time with her parents at their summer home at Lake Min- netonka. Chinese Namés of Places. Chinese names of places often define their character. - Thus the terminal “yang” means fortress, Pingyang the “fortress of peace.” ‘“Cheng” means a “walled city.” “Shan” is a mountain, “hai” the sea, “Kuan” a camp; thus Shankalkuan is the “mountain sea camp.” A “ling” is a mountain pass; Motlenling, near Mukden, {is the “heaven scraping pass.” The suffixes “tao” and “to” indicate islands; “po” or ‘“pho,” a harbor; “wan,” a bay; “kiang” and “ho,” a river; “kow,” a port; “fu,” a first class clty; “ju,” a provincial capital, “Pei” s north, “nan” is south, “king” is cap- ital. These suffixes help to explain such familiar names in these days as Sanshantao, Chemulpo, Talienwan. Yangtsekiang, Hoangho, Yinkow, Che- fu, Anju, Peking and Nanking.

BOWSFIELD > It will be noticed anywhere in ‘the eountry that if the owner of a farm encourages his family to take an in- terest in garden management the home premises will look well and become more profitable than they otherwise ‘would. Young people take & keen interest in novelty farming. They will delight in studying out plans for succession crops, and in this way they will make a gar- den pay well. A fact which should be kept in mind Is that truck growing may be made highly profitable on any farm and therefore should not be treat- ed as a sideline. For instance, if a farmer who is accustomed to a return of $20 to $40 an acre from his big fleld crops can see a revenue of $200 an acre from vegetables, berries and flow- ers he should be willing to make this feature a little more prominent than VEGETABLES AND BERRIES PAY WELL. it usually is, especially when it serves to stimulate the interest of his sons and daughters. ‘When young people take up this mat- ter of double cropping they should aim to make the season as long as possible and to get their commodities into mar- ket early enough so that they will reap the benefit of the highest prices. A lit- tle study will show them which are the hardy and profitable early products. Usually it pays to start vegetables in a hotbed, but whether this is done or not when the peas, lettuce, radishes and other early crops are out of the way the ground can be utilized for celery, tomatoes, sweet corn, peppers, cab- bage, ete. This is not a complete pro- gram, but merely suggests what may be accomplished. When the sweet corn is disposed of late in the summer it is still possible to raise rutabagas, beets and carrots. Three crops in a season are nothing phenomenal even in the northern states, and it makes a kind of farm- ing that is interesting and worth while. Anybody going into this kind of work should look out for the mon- ey making possibilities, as it is useless to try to keep up interest in a project unless it pays. Cabbage growing belongs in every garden scheme, big or little. Where no hotbed is available it is well to buy plants in April for the early crop. These are set about eighteen inches apart in the row and the rows at least two feet apart, thinnihg the plants as it appears necessary. The crop for use in fall and winter is sown’ about June 1 and transplanted in July, giv- ing little more space than for the ear- lier plants. Lettuce is one of the garden prod- ucts that buyers demand early in the spring. It is hardy enough so that it may be sown in the open by the mid- dle of April. If it can be started in a hotbed so much the better. It is difficult to grow lettuce in hot weather, but another good crop may be started about Aug. 1. Lettuce will thrive right up to the time of sharp frost. It is a good deal the same with radishes. An early crop pays well, and then it is best to skip the hot weeks of sum- mer. One ounce will sow 100 feet. For spinach an ounce will sow 100 feet. Sow in a broad drill and thin to about four inches. Make the rows fif- teen inches apart. The early spring crop can be sown as soon as frost is out of the ground. Obtain three varie- ties of seed to insure a good succes- slon. Skip the month of July and two weeks in August or even the entire month. The hardier sorts provided by dealers in seeds may be sown as late as Sept. 15 and with a light covering of hay or rubbish will winter over and produce an early spring crop. Swiss chard is of the beet family and is cul- tivated only for greens. Cut or pull the leaves from the outside while young, keeping - the - inner leaves to continue growth. Satisfactory crops of turnips can be raised both in spring and fall. While they are an easy product to ralse, it will pay to give them a rich, loose soil. Brome Grass. Brome grass is one of the best pas- ture plants. Its good points are that it has a good root system; therefore | stands tramping well, starts early and grows late, is leafy and makes a fine pasture. It does well on poor as well as on good soil, but responds splendid- 1y to guod soil and manuring. Grape Rot. Just before the blooms appear on the grapes the plants should recelve an ap- plication of bordeaux mixture. The greatest pest of the grapes in most sec- tions 1s the rot, and unless the bor- deaux mixture is applied regularly ev- ery three weeks the fruit is sure to rot and spoil. Added strength and safety are claimed for a-new English material for aeroplane wings that is made of fine mesh steel gauze coated with a preparation impervious to air and water.
