GALESBURG REMEMBERS There are plenty of towns in the United States which are ready to welcome home the conquering hero with rousing cheers, a grand parade and oratorical honors. But Galesburg, III, is a different kind of a town. It has prepared an elalwrate reception for the home-town boy who is no longer making good, who is a down-arid-outer. It is the old home-town of Grover Cleveland Alexander and has sent him word that it wants him buck. This former hero of the diamond is invited home to capitalize on his' old achievements, not to give the city an opportunity to capitalize on his fame. An outstanding pitcher star in the big leagues for two decades, Grover has been given an unconditional release from the Dallas, Texas, ball club, which means the very last word in the last chapter of a baseball career. But Galesburg wants him back in spite of it all. : This Illinois town deserves credit for a kindly impulse, and the spirit shown may have had something to do with, the fact that a few years ago Galesburg was selected as an out standing city in which to live. Its action must have trans ; ported the, worn-out moundsman back to the days of his ' greatest conquests and national acclaim. Jle iCan go back ;. home knowing that to. the home folks he ;is still, thp greatest pitcher organized, baseball ever produced. " And dalesburg will say to. the. orld that, but for the ravages of time he would still be the bane of the home-run hitters. ; ' PREDICTING EARTHQUAKES; ; , J 'The fact that America was alarmed for the safety of its citizens who were touring in Italy, did not make us, 'as a ..nation, unforgetful of the suffering and tragedy which -came to Southern Italy by reason of the recent earthquake. . Destruction -wrought by this' quake may" noTbc as extcii ?sive as those of similar convulsions in that country in the ipast, but no disturbance that takes upwards of 3,000 lives, 'injures thousands more and destroys whole towns can be considered small. While the Italian authorities have served notice that no outside aid will be needed, there will be no lack of apprecia tion of the fact that it would bo promptly given if required. These catastrophes leave nothing for hunmnity to do but to comfort the bereaved and shelter and feed the homeless and destitute. Science cannot hope to find a way to prevent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but it is progressing toward the time when it will be able to predict the hour and place when these upheavals may be expected, and this would have the effect of eliminating unexpectedness and would result in saving countless lives and greatly reduce the property damage. FUTILE "Ye sticks, ye stones, ye blocks, ye worse than senseless things," is the language of a writer of many years ago. It should be evident to endurance fans that nothing with out a purpose partakes at all of glory. The mere ability to stay put is a wholly negative attribute and peculiar to empty vessels in the cupboard and to useless oddities of furniture. Endurance to stand stress and strain is a commendable quality in useful material and machinery. In the realm of sport, overtaxation of one's physical resources may be .sui cide. Too often it is. There is no more intelligence in that than there is in the practice of Oriental beggars who hold their limbs in unnatural positions until they atrophv. Pole-sitting find tree-sitting are cheap subterfuges'" for stealing public attention. They are not to be compared with the pedestrian feats of Weston or the submarine endurance tricks of Iloudini. Let those who belong to this new crowd of endurance maniacs convince themselves of the uselessness of their pur suits by asking the opinion of the first ten business men they meet. In Brooklyn recently a test was made in the public schools to ascertain what the six year old children desired most to know in the realms of truth or fancy. Naturally we would think the answer would be "fairies, pirates or hidden treas ures." But, no, these children wanted to know about the lives of (1st) Lindbergh. (2nd) Lincoln. (;lrd) Washington. Mischief is what causes dimples, says one woman writer. And all the time we have been thinking that it's dimples that cause mischief.

If the temporary teeth are allowed to become decaved and are prema turely lost, the child is handicapped and the permanent teeth are liable to grow in Irregularly. Cleanliness Is of importance In keeping the temporary teeth healthy. but even more important is tne aiet of the child. The diet rich in min eral salts and vitamlnes will help keep the teeth healthy. Coarse foods tend to naturally clean and exercise the teeth. The! child should be taught to chew on both sides of Its mouth.

"Nature seems to be settling the farm relief problem." said Bernard Snow, former assistant United States secretary of agriculture, now a mem ber of the grain firm of Bartlett, Fraeler and company here. "The tre mendous loss of the corn crop during July," he said, "a loss which Is still continuing. Is likely to prove a blessing In disguise." Pointing out the heat and drought were accomplishing "such a reduc tion of the crop surplus as was pro posed by the federal farm board." Snow said that "It looks as though tho losses in corn will accomplish the needed readjustment between supply and demand If all products, and Inci dentally emphasize , the . fact that acreage Is not the only factor to be reckoned with in determining . 'vol ume of crop production." .
