Several members of the umpiring
staff of the ThreeEye and Western

public for the present. President Sex

of contract this season than was
used the two past years and the UNI
pires are compelled to sign written
contracts as binding as those of the
players.
Plenty of applications are being
received from would-be umpires, but
the picking is not of the best. A
Michigan applicant sends fair sam
pie of the sort of letters that are
coming in. The pictures spoken of

cents-a-dozen variety. The commune

would write you a few lines inquiring
about your umpire staff. As l am
well up in rules and regulations of the

up-to-day games. As l can give you
good reference from good people such
as Count Caumpan and Selling and

THE WEEKLY PAPER,

Atlanta Constitution: The average
weekly editor usually has his all in
vested in his newspaper property.
That investment generally represents
from 81, 900 to $1,000. But it is worth
more to the town than five times the
amount expended in any local enter
prise. AS rule, the newspaper rep
resents to the outside world the town
itself. Poor paper, poor town, is the
usual verdict. 1t is therefore to the
interest of every town to support a good
newspaper. Not through local pride
alone, but for practical business rea-
sons. A newspaper is constantly do
ing ten times as much for it's town as
it could ever hope to get pay for-more
than it could charge for, if it would.
The more prosperous a paper is the
more it IS able to do. Show us good
weekly paper, full of live local ads,
with a general circulation throughout
the county, and we will show you an
up-to-date, prosperous, progressive
community. And we will also show
you paper that is worth five times as
much to that community every year
than the editor manages to make for
himself.

Killing Water Hyacinths.

a government tug and tender, equipped
with immense tanks of chemical fluid
and a spraying apparatus, are now on
their way up the ST. Johns river in
Florida to wage a war of eXterminatio
on the water hyacinths which in many
places completely choke the current of
the sluggish stream and its tributaries.
The spraying pump forces the chemical
solution through pipes to the bow of the
boat, where three sprayers throw it nine
ty feet ahead and on the sides over the
beds of hyacinths. By pushing steadily
along 1t is expected to cover about 100
yards a day. In two hours the plants
shrivel up, the solution following down
to the roots, and are entirely disin-
tegrated. This process has been sue
cessfully used in Mexico and Australia,
and more recently in Louisiana, where
bayous and drainage canals have been
cleared. 1t will take about three years
to clear the streams of Florida. An ap-
preparation for this work was obtained
from the last Congress.
