1 STEALING BABE'S THUNDER
George Kelly of Giants Leading Mighty Ruth
Is the mighty Babe Ruth, base
ball's greatest swat king of all time,
to bse his crown in the very zenith
of his career?
Has the great enthusiasm for
Babe's mighty home runs been the
incentive to bring out mightier and
mightier bat swinging?
Are ball players of the future, like
race horses, to be bred and born from
good stock?
All the above questions-and more
too are being asked now by fans
everywhere as they watch day to day
the performance of "Bingo" George
Kelly, first baseman of the New York
Giants.
Kelly is out-Ruthing Ruth. He
knocked out seven home runs to
Ruth's six in the first three weeks of
the season, when fans awoke to the
fact that a new star had arrived.
Ruth broke all records last season
when he knocked 54 home runs. He
predicted that he would beat that
mark this year then along came
Kelly. What will he do?
Ruth is almost a month ahead of
last year's record-breaking schedule,
but Kelly is ahead of him.
Kelly broke into the Giants' line
up last year, knocked out eleven
home runs during the season, but
played only fair baseball. This sea
son, however, he is playing a bang
up game, and batting the same way.
Old-time baseball fans who always
insisted that ball players were born,
not made, are now pointing to Kelly
as proof of their claim. He comes
from a family of baseball players,
his uncle, Bill Lange, being a great
star of the big league In his day.
Ruth knocks out home runs in a
lunging, powerful swing, with virtu
ally all of his weight behind the blow.
He knocks 'em high and far. He bats
left-handed.-
Kelly bats right-handed, as shown
Aid Farm Land Loans!
Urges Wisconsin Man!
Representative Nelson Is For
Revolving Fund of Fifty
Million Dollars
Washington, May 16. Nation
wide financial aid for the farmers
is contained in a bill introduced in
the House by Representative A. P.
Nelson, of Wisconsin, who has en
listed for it the support of the Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon and
the Farm Loan Bcsrd, as well a.
several presidents of Federal land
banks.
In this bill it is proposed that there
shall be created in the Treasury a
farm-loan revolving! fund of fifty
million dollars, which shall relieve
the long-term farm-loan situation
and release capital for short-term
paper, so as to enable the farmers
to improve their property, extend
their live stock, and purchase im
plements. Mr. Nelson intends that the de
posits throughout the country of the
$50,000,000 fund provided by the
government shall be secured by Fed
eral farm-loan bonds or other secur
ities to be approved by the Secretary
of the Treasury in an amount epual
to said deposits, such securities to
bear interest at a rate which shall
be one-half of one per cent in excess
of the rate borne by the last bond is
sue of the bank in which such de
posit is made.
"1 know of nothing more import
ant in national legislation at the
present time than enhancing the ag
ricultural interest of the country and
carrying it over its present depress
ing condition," said Mr. Nelson, in
explanation of the measure. "The
farmer purchases 60 per cent of the
manufactured articles of the nation.
He cannot have purchasing power
unless he has extension of credits.
Private banks are running along so
closely that they cannot well extend
it. Therefore, the government must
lend assistance. The Federal Farm
Loan system has worked well, but in
this emergency it cannot function uu

SETTING PACE FOR MIGHTY RUTH
8
"Bingo" George Kelly, first baseman of the New York Giants, and
nephew of the former big leaguer, Bill Lange, has startled baseball fans
by jumping out in front of the mighty Babe Ruth in knocking home runs.
Ruth, after breaking all records with 54 home runs last year, got away to
a Hying start this year with six circuit smashes in the first three weeks of
play but Kelly went him one better with seven. It is a great race. Pic
tures shows how Kelly holds the bat for a sharp, well-timed swinging blow
which meets the ball squarely.
in the news picture here, and his the fans get a back view of the whole
blow is different from Ruth's. It is opposing team, as all players turn
a sharp, well-timed, swinging blow and watch the sphere sail over the
which meets the ball squarely, then wall.
gress comes to its assistance as I
have suggested, and I have met with
such unqualified sympathy for the
farmer and such endorsement of this
project on the part of Republican
leaders that I am sure something
will be done."

SMILE AWHILE
Filling Station Gossip.
Lew McCall says that motorists
who come through Columbus enroute
for Kansas City have about the fol
lowing conversation when they stop
at the filling station there: If its
a Cadillac, the driver says: "How
far is it to Kansas City ? One hun
dred and forty miles," is the reply.
"Gimme twenty gallons of gas and a
gallon of oil," says the driver. Then
comes a Buick and the chauffeur
says: "How far is it to Kansas
City?" "One hundred and forty
miles. Gimme ten gallons of gas
XT " V
and a half gallon of oil." and he
drives on. Along comes a flivver
and the driver uncramps himself,
gets out and stretches and asks:
'flow far is it to Kansas City?" "Oh,
about 140 miles." "Is that all? Gim
me two quarts of water and a bottle
of '3 in I,' and hold this son-of-a-
gun until I get in." Columbus Ad
vocate.
First Hand Information.
There had been a tie-up on a sou
thern railroad, and the travelers were
bored hanging around the country
station. One of them in desperation
started up a conversation with one of
the villagers.
"That hoy over there," he said.
pointing to a native youth, "looks as
awkward as a lame" mule."
"He is," agreed the resident. "He's
a shiftless, no account, lyin' rascal,
too lazy to walk up hill."
'How do you happen to know so
much about him?"
"Who, me? Well, I'd oughter. I'm
his father."
His Sense of Humor.
A minister spoke very strongly
against betting. One of the wealth
iest members of the congregation
was a great gambler, and some one
told the pfeacher about this. After
the service he werft up to the gambl
er, and said, "I'm afraid I must have
offended you today but " "Oh,
don't mention it," was the reply. "It's
a mighty poor sermon that doesn't
hit me somewhere."
Farmers Can Combine
For Market Advantage
Repuhlican Majority in House
By Vote of 2D4 to 4!) Gives
Them That Right
Washington, May 16. By a vote
of 2lJ4 to 41) the Republican majority
in the House has passed a bill per
mitting farmers to combine in asso
ciations for marketing purposes.
"This bill," said Representative
Volstead, chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, in explanation, "aims to
authorize cooperative associations
among farmers for the purpose of
marketing their products. There are
a great many of these associations
today scattered all over this country.
There are a great many of them In
F.urope. In this country they have
been constantly threatened with pro
secution. Many states have modified
their, laws so as to legalize these or
ganizations, and the last national con
ventions of the two great parties, Re
publicans and Democrats, passed res
olutions indorsing legislation of this
kind. There is, as I understand, a
general demand for it among the far-

mers, and their organizations have
practically agreed upon this form of
a bill.
"The objection made to these or
ganizations at present is that they
violate the Sherman Anti-Trust Act,
and that is upon the theory that each
farmer is a separate business entity.
When he combines with his neighbor
for the purpose of securing better
treatment in the disposal of his crops,
he is charged with a conspiracy or
combination contrary to the Sherman
Anti-Trust Act. Business men can
combine by putting their money into
corporations, but it is impractical for
farmers to combine their farms into
similar corporate fonn. The object
of this bill is to modify the laws un
der which business organizations are
now formed, so that farmers may
take advantage of the form of or
ganization that is used by business
concerns. It is objected in some
quarters that this repeals the Sher
man Anti-Trust Act as to farmers.
That is not true any more than it
is true that a combination of two or
three corporations violates the act."
Reavis for Farmers.
Representative Frank Reavis, of
Nebraska, one of the Republican
leaders of the House, is decidedly
for the farmer. In defending the bill
permitting agricultural "associations
under the law, he said:
"I come from a district that is al
most exclusively agricultural. I fa
vor this proposition because I be
lieve, in the first instance, it will
prove beneficial to those whom I rep
resent. 1 favor it because 1 hope that
it will increaseThe price of their
products.
"The gentleman from Massachu
setts (Mr. Walsh) is no more unsel
fish in his opposition to this than I
am in approving it. The Vfery reason
which excites my favor is the reason
why he opposes it. I favor an in
crease in the value of farm products
because my people sell them. He
disapproves of the increase in price
of farm products because his people
buy them, and we are both on the
same footing, so far as the purpose
which prompts our action on this
bill is concerned. But it goes beyond
that, gentlemen. Agriculture ar.d the
interests of the farmer lie at the very
foundation of this nation's prosper
ity." GIRL NEVER
