The Cuero Turkey Trotters and
the Seguin White Sox meet today in
what is expected to be a real'battle.
The White Sox previously defeated
the Trotters in Seguin by a score of
6 to 0.
+ + +
The Trotters lost the first game be-
tween the two teams because they
failed to hit. The Sox connected with
eleven safe blows to the Trotters
six.

Not only did the Stockings outhit
the Trotters but they hit in the
pinches, hit with men on base.

The Turkey Trotters have been
playing brilliant ball in the held for
the past few weeks .playing errorless
ball on a muddy field in Shiner last
Sunday.

The majority of ^Cuero fans for
the first time, will witness the new
Trotter infield in action today-.
Dietze will probably be on third, Ar-
nold behind the bat, C .Wagner on
second and the old regulars .Manager
Wagner and “Chester” Mauer in
their regular berths.

Manager Wagner has not definite-
ly announced who will take the hill
today, but the pitching burden will
rest between Mitchell and Heyer.

Both hurlers have been going good
lately ,and we are hoping that eith-
er one wjjl be able to best the Sox
this afternoon.

The White Sox have some real slug-
gers on their team .and it would not
be a surprise to many if the old agate
didn’t get some long rides this after-
noon.

For example, Krueger, first sacker
for the Seguin club, i sa real slug-
ger. In the previous Trottier-Sox,
Krueger connected with two singles
and tw’o doubles in four trips.

Lou Gehrig is the boy whd is
matching homers wRh the mighty
Sultan of Swat ,and Lou is no slouch
with the bat. He is known to be a
more dangerous hitter than Ruth,
and is hardly ever wolked ,due to the
fact that he can step into a wide or
high one, and crash out a safe hit.

Unless th*t,Babe picks up his speed
AQd giveffihe ball a few more long
rides ,he* may be running second to
the Yankee first sacker in the near
future.

IMPROVED ROADS CHEAPEST
Although wre spend millions annu-
ally for improving roads, only about
one farm in twfelve is located on a
hardsurfaced or paved highway. A
much larger proportions are near
enough to be paved thoroughfares to
make considerable use of them, but
even one intervening mile of muddy
road often makes the use of farm
automobiles impossible.
Good roads used to be classed- as
luxuries but such is no longer the
case. When the loss of time incurred
by rough or muddy unimproved roads
is considered .together with the wear
and taar on vehicles .paved or hard-
surfaced roads are essential and
should bee built as rapidly as possible.
The ‘deportment of agriculture says:
“For the movement of every vehicle
over a road there is a certain cost,
which is less if the road be improv-
ed.* Logically, therefore, the only
limit-that should be placed on expen-
ditures for road improvement is the
amount that can be saved in vehicular
’Opefating cost. The country ’ loses!
more in increased cost of operating
vehUcles by not ifnproviag roads
than it’ does to improve them. In
o|her.{words. It' pays for improved
roads whether it has them or not,
and it pays less by having them than
by not having them.”

INCREASE IN DEATH RATES
IS CREDITED TO DIETS
NEW YORK, N. Y., June 25—The
current mode of life among women of
forty-five and over ,the increasing
ease of living and the generally rich-
er diets are reflected in the rising
death'rate fro mdiabetes among fe-
males in this age range. From
1911 to 1926 this death rate increased
more than one-third and is still on the
upward trend. ‘
During the war years, when there
was a decreased consumption of
sugar and other luxuries and wheq
there was added activity among this
class the d6ath rate declined to al-
most -that of 1911 but since then
there has been a steady increase.
This is a noutstanding fact rought
out by an analysis made among its
more than seventeen millions of In-
dustrial policy holders by the Statis-
tical Bureau o fthe Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company covering t,he
period 1911 to 1926.
The diabetes death rate among
males of 45 and over has remained
more or less stationary, varying be-
tween and 55 per hundred thous-
and during this period. In 1911 the
female death rate was around 75 per-
