FAVOR THE SCHEDULE.
Local Association Will Probably Vote
for Schedule Submitted

for Schedule Submitted.
The local base ball association will
probably vote for the playing schedule
for the coming season recently sub
mitted to all of the clubs Of The league
by President Peckham. While there
has been no definite understanding re-
garding what the possible vote Of the
directors will be, it is understood that
the schedule, as it stands, is fairl"
satisfactory to those controlling the
home clubs affairs.
The directors have found two slight
is to the large number of games,
eighteen, which have been scheduled
to be played here during May, and the
other fault is that there are but two
games scheduled for September. While
these faults have been pointed out, it
is readily understood that they were
unavoidable owing to the season open
ing in the north. which necessitates all
of the southern clubs playing over the
northern half of the circuit and two of
the northern clubs playing the other
two of the north before the northern
clubs start south. The northern clubs
closing in the south is responsible for
the few games in September being
scheduled locally. None of the nor
thern towns have many games at
home in September, but all have from
twelve to eighteen games in May.
The Burlington Hawkeye is author
ity for the statement that the propos-
ed schedules is viewed with favor by
the Burlington club, which will prob
ably also vote for it. There is every
likelihood that the schedule as pre-
pared will be adopted without change.

BOOK CAMPAIGN
American Book Company canvassins
for Petitions in Favor Of Their
Books-Teachers Have Been Con.
sulfed

The book letting is getting warmer
as the day for the hearing before the
board draws near. A member of the
board says that the American Book
Company has sent local agents into
every township in the county with Pc
titions to be signed by farmers, asking
the board not to change the present
books in use. The point to all this is
that the American Book Company Sc
cured by far the largest part of the
contracts five years ago and if the Pc
titions will tie the hands of the board
and prevent any changes this company
will come off winner again.
1t is not known whether the board
intends to make any changes in books
or not, but County Superintendent
Hostetler consulted all of the teachers
at the last normal regarding School
books, and the board will have the
benefit of their criticism. Each MEM
Der is now endeavoring to post himself
as to the merits of each book and two
have already said that if better books
can be found than the ones now in use
changes will be made regardless of pc
titions circulated by men in the en-
ploy of an interested book company.
