Baseball is a very pretty sport and
no doubt is fine exercise. But the
young men who start out playing
base ball early in March lose about
one third of the college year from
their studies. 1t seems to us that
the colleges are making too much OF
a feature of this sport and it is being
done at the cost of progress in the
lines OF work for which a young man
should be at college. And yet it is
clair.cl that every college must join
the association or it will lose students.

The Cotton Situation.

Inc lotion SllOdttO1t.
The report of the Executive com
mittee on Monday showed hat much
had been made in securing
SIGNATURES to the agreement among
the farmers to reduce the acreage III
cotton. out there were still some VINO
had not signed.
ReDorts from all the cotton states
indicate that the reduction in acreage
is general. II that is correct the 1lgl1t
is won. The last report by the GIN
ners shows that the last crop IS over
thirteen and a half million bales n
that being true makes the surplus
over two million bales. If there IS
rot a reduction this year and the crop
should reach twelve million bales the
price IS bound to go down.. 1illS
movement BY the farmers has oeell
IA = great extent the cause tor the

mast two months. When it is known
+h.t the farmers intend to stand TO
the movement to reduce the acreage
and if is actually done the price Will
likely 60 still higher. Certainly 1t Will
90 no lower. This will relieve the
situation temporarily and as a gooo
o,,+ ~ the cotton still unsold IS
in the hands of the farmers, any IN
crease in price will be of immediate
benefit to them.
The solution Of this whole matter
however, is easy and could be taken

section of the cotton belt. It's the
onlv plan that will give permanent re-
life and make the farmer independent
The Herald and News has preached
# for twenty years and the more we
think Of it the stronger becomes our
conviction Of its efficacy. 1t IS SIM

the farm all the supplies you neeo
for the farm and then grow all the
cotton YOU can regardless Of the price
and YOU will soon become an 1nde-
pendent farmer. Until you do his
YOU will never make any money farn1-
inc even if the price OF cotton goes

remedy and one within the reach OF

The farmer who has made it a rule TO

Big Circus Expensive.

D.
Perhaps If some Of the people who
are disposed to charge the showmenl
with avarice and deceit could have
an intimate knowledge of the perplex-
ing things and annoying circumstan-
ces which SO often beset the modern
circus manager, and disturb the even
tenor OF his mind, they would desist
from such accusations.
From the beginning to the end Of |
the season, and between seasons, the
lot of the circus manager lacks more
than one thing OF being sweet peace.
First he was confronted with dearth
of attractions, 1t being impossible to
secure anything new This is not so
to-day. There are many extraordi-
nary and almost incredible attrac-
tions which may be procured, If the
circus man will do as Mr.. Wallace,
OF the Great Wallace Show, has
done-go after them, and pay the
high salaries demanded.
With a circus OF the magnitude OF
the Wallace Show expenses are cnor-
nous. A score or more Of the Wal.
lace feature acts cost from $500 to
$1,000 per week. The highest sala.
ries, OF course, are paid for those
features which are original and new,
coming for the first time this year
from Europe. To these must be ad.
ded the pay Of almost half thousand
employees, many of whom draw liberal
salaries. To this big salary list,
. which must be paid, rain or shine,

BILL
BY FLETCHER now
Congressman Will Follow Clapp
with Measure for New
Building.
by w. M. Jern1ane.

Washington, Dec. l3.R Representative
Fletcher will introduce bill for fed
eral building at Minneapolis tomorrow
or Friday: 1t will follow the lines Of
Clapp's bill, introduced in the senate
last week, and it is intended to push the
bill in both houses.
There is very little prospect of the
enactment Of any public building legis-
lation. at this session, altho all mem
bers interested will try to induce
Speaker Cannon to permit one to be
framed
. Some nnisapprehension appears to ex-
lst IN Minneapolis regarding Senator
Clapp's introduction Of bill before
Fletcher presented his in the house.
In putting: this bill in, Clapp was SIM
ply following precedent. It is prac-
ticable to intro duce9such bills in both
branches on the chance Of one house
or the other passing it, more often the
senate, before it can be put thru the
opposite branch. BY, this method there
is gain in time which is desirable in
view OF the pressure OF bills in both
houses. Senator Clapp will, Of course,
cooperate with Fletcher in securing this
legislation for Minneapolis.

WHEAT POOL FAKIR
ARRESTED IN n. Y,
r. II. Robertson, Indicted by Min.
neapolis Federal Grand Jury, \
Is Arrested.

New York, Dec. 1s.-Charged with
having been implicated in an alleged
Illegal discretionary wheat pool scheme
in Minneapolis last spring, f. III. Rob
ertson was held in $4,000 bail here
today, by United States Commissioner
Shields.
Robertson was indicted by the fed
eral grand jury in Minneapolis last
spring, and was arrested here last night
thru efforts of the postoffice inspectors.
The Indictment states that circulars
were sent thruout the west, informing
the recipient that certain member OF
the proposed pool was the northwest
ern representative of combination Of
capitalists who were going to conduct
an immense corner in wheat. The pro-
posed pool promised profit Of not less
than 100 per cent.
Robertson was an associate Of A. G.
Vaughan, who fed from Minneapolis
last spring after having conducted ex-
tensive bucketshop' operations in
Minneapolis. He was Chicago man
and his name did not figure in the com
pany s business, which was all done in
Vaughan IS name. 81.
