Changes In the Middle West.

A striking tendency in the middle
west, and especially in southern Iowa,
Is the decrease in the size of farms.
Something less than ninety acres is
said to be the size OF average Iowa
farms, with the men doing the work
themselves or hiring one man. An eS-
change says that since land has risen
in value from SO TO 500 an acre it
has been found necessary to decrease
the number of acres in the farm, and
the farmer himself is better off for
this, because he is not working SO hard
to make both ends meet nor trying -
cover 50 much ground. lie is making,
In fact, about as much on 100 ncres
rightly conducted as he lid on AZ
don Of land in the old days The g'oJ,

 Mr Harris submitted his play to Nixon 6 Zimmerman in Philadelphia and await cd their decision Shortly after the play was received and read Fred c. Nixon- Nirdlinger, general manager of this firm, wired Mir Harris to come to the general offices for an interview on the play.

 Those who have been so fortunate as to attend q reading of this play pro nounce 1t q play that will win instant favor with the theatrical people and just praise for its author. Mir. Harris Is a most versatile writer. He has the innate ability to inject hu- nor or the most pleasing character into his articles and it is said that his situ- ations in this play are even more
 
 Nixon & Zimmerman promise for this play of the first southern playwright tour of the south and will include Atlanta, the home of the author, in the bookings The rehearsals for this play will be ordered for Philadelphia in a short while and Mr Harris will go on to that city to personally superintend the interpretation of his first offering and to be present when it is launched for its initial presentation. Mr. Harris IS entitled to the credit for being the first southern playwright. Thomas Dixon, author and writer, is a southern playwright, but his plays come from the dramatization of his novels rather than straight out play writing.
 The Atlantic public will await with interest the reviews os the eastern dra- matic critics on this play by this prom inent and popular Atlanta writer. and in the meanwhile will wish for him the best possible success. with tho predic- ton that this wish will come true.

 A "RInger" Deal.
 Now, on the Dubuque team of that year there was the swellest pitcher then play ing In that league. His name was Brown. and just when things looked their gloom fest for George Browne and Hodge tel egram came to their stopping place ad- dressed to Pitche Brown, and asking if he would come up to Keokuk, Ia, and pitch an important game for $1O0.
 It was to be a ringer deal and for tho championship of that section of the map.
 As the celebrated Pitcher Browne had left for hls home some days previously the two stranded ball tossers saw q chance to cop that hundred, for they could use 1t without half trying. So Hodge wired that the offer was accepted 1t being his intention to use George Browne as the substitute without letting the hiring parties become any the wiser. as George Browne was formerly a good pitcher, and would no doubt make good In Keokuk company.
 So he and Browne, being friendly with the conductor of the Keokuk train were landed In that town an hour or two be- fore the great game But unfortunately for the scheme, two of the Keokuk play CTS knew George Browne, having played with him in some minor league. Still, they did not know Hodge or Pitcher Brown by sight, but only through reputa- ton. So Hodge put on a bold front and introduced himself as Pitcher Brown. He was given the glad hand, and, while he had never pitched a professional game of ball in his life, he was on to the curves, and had the arm with which to shoot 'em in It was with fear and trembling that he took his position on the firing line, but he and Browne needed that century coin
 Well, the game developed into a twelve inning affair." and Hodges vast profes- sional experience and his knowledge of how to work" the batters finally enabled him to win the first and fast professional game of ball he had ever twirled. But It was close shave, the final score being 3 to 9
 Jacobson the present St. Louis slab art ist, when member of the Washington club two years ago. was hired by the Winchester (Va.) club to pitch game against the Woodstock (Va) team.
