DIRECTORS ARE CHOSEN
Topeka Baseball Association
Ready for Work.

The directors. of the Topeka Missouri
,Naley league baseball team Determined
last night upon the charge of admission
to be made to the games.
The prices follow: Adults, % cents;
children under 10 years, Is cents; grand
stand, Is cents for everybody; cushions, 10
cents; score cards, 5 cents. Carriages will
be admitted to the grounds free. The sec
ond day IN each series OF three games
Will be known as ladies' day. on which
women are admitted free to the grounds,
but not free to the grandstand-
the privileges of the grounds were let
last night to T. E. Depui, who agrees to
pay the directors a certain percentage of
his gross receipts.
The question of the location of the park,
which has been worrying everybody con-
nected with the baseball team for quite
long time, is still unsettled, but Frank
Kelley, manager of the Topeka Railway
company, assured the directors that re-
gardless of the outcome of the differences
with Washburn college, a park will be
provided for the Topeka league, if a new
one must be built So acting upon Mr..
kelley'S statement, the association feels
free to continue its work of getting ready
to play ball.
To facilitate the work of transacting Of
ncial business an executive board was
last night elected from the board OF di-
rectors. 1t consists of w. L. Taylor, pres
ident of the Topeka league team; vice
president. Thomas Sheardi secretary. A.
Z. Ward; w. T. Logan, c. x. Holiday
and John Waters. The reason for the
creation of this body is that its members
can and will get together quickly at any
time to look after matters pertaining to
the team that need immediate attention,
while it would be impossible to call to-
gether the entire board of directors with
out giving considerable notice.
There IS a real, genuine feeling of secur-
ity now among the promoters of the To-
peka team that this city will have base
ball. Things looked rather blue for a
time, but matters have been put on a
good strong business footing, and the
Missouri Valley league in Topeka is a
go" Manager Gus Alberts is collecting
unpaid subscriptions and IS meeting with
good success. He will aid Secretary Ward

PLAYS FOR SCHOOLS.
Mrs. Emmons Blaine Offers Sugges-
tiOns Along That Line

Chicago, April 5.-Dramatic acting in
the school room as a means of educat-
ing the children in history, literature
and ethical truths is the novel Deda-
gogical method recommended by Mrs.
Emmons Blaine in an article on The
Dramatic in Education" which appears
in the April numbers of The Elementary
School Teacher The magazine is pub
hshed by the University Press and is
edited by the faculty of the school of
education, which Mrs. Blaine has en-
dowed to the extent of nearly a million
dollars The plan she suggests is being
tried in the classes there.
Mrs. Blaine holds that the dramatic
instinct is strong in children and that
by careful training it may be made "a
power to construct in them stronger and
better men and women, with clearer
images and finer thoughts" This dra-
matte instinct. however, Mrs. Blaine
would have worked out by the children
themselves in school room plays. She
says that there are few things on the
stage at the present time that children
should see or hear. and suggests that the
theaters set aside Saturday afternoons
for plays to be given for the school
children.

Ohinch Bug Disease a Failure.

Original experiments conducted
by the University Of Missouri dur
ing period Of seven years show
conclusively that the practice of
placing deceased bugs among the
healthy ones in infested fields does
little if anything towards checking
the ravages Of this insect. The en-
tomologist who has conducted the
experiments places a part Of the
blame for failure of the remedy
upon farmers themselves.
''The person receiving these
bugs" he says was supposed tc
place them and healthy bugs in
boxes similar to ours and to keep
them under similar conditions nn-
til they were thoroughly diseased
and then scatter the increased
quantity throughout the wheat and
corn fields. As a matter of fact
each Of the seven years | haye con-
Quoted the experiment, l have
found that over half the farmers
simply scattered the bugs we sent
them"

Missouri Agricultural Exhibit.

One exhibit at the Worlds Fair
that no visitor Gun afford to miss
is that of the agricultural products
of Missouri. This exhibit is pro-
nouneed by competent judges the
best exhibit in agriculture that the
world has ever seen. Ono half
acre is occupied. Fifty per cent
of this is taken by corn, thirty-6ve
percent by wheat, oats and similar
grains aud the remainder by grass
es. Three corn pyramids are strik-
ing features of the exhibit, One Of
these is i'll theeenter, the others,
smaller ones, are at the ends Of the
exhibit. Forming a fringe around
the entire exhibit is series of pic
lures made entirely Of agricultural
products showing the evolution Of
agricultural processes. The first
of these shows a stick plow drawn
by camels, the reap hook and the
threshing frail, all of the time of
