The directors OF the Iowa State
Agricultural Society, who are the state
fair officials, have taken a pronounced
step in the right direction by barring
from the. and 3-year-old stakes all
PAGERS and trotters wearing hobbies.
The society has inaugurated this move
ment in the belief that it will prove
tremendous force in the bslnishment OF
the hobbies. The plan is to be followed
each year in these classes and the in
fluence will doubtless be felt. This ac-
ton is merely following UP the resolu-
ton passed by the American Trotting
Register Association which went on
record as opposed to recognizing any
marks made by horses wearing hobbies
after the year 1907. AS matter OF
fact hobbies have no more place on the
true harness horse than shas a third
wheel on a su!ky. The trotter or PAGER
that can not go his gait without wear
ing lot of loops about his legs fas-
tened together with straps has no place
on the course. He should be ban
ished, and ruled out he will be before
many years. This movement, while it
may be a hardship to those who race
animals they are forced to hobble,
tends all in the direction of better
sport, cleaner gated horses and less
danger in their speeding. That a
hobb1ed horse is dangerous in race
all fair. minded race followers will adj
NIT.
Quincy has a "kick" coming and IT
has been entered against the accepted
playin, schedule of the Iowa State
League. That this schedule treats
Quincy shabbily will be- admitted by
study the schedule Despite the fact
that Quincy is new member the
league needs Quincy, and needs 1t bad
~, and its opinion on this schedule
matter should have some consideration.
The fact that the schedule has been
adopted, and objections may be en-
tered to any proposed changes, may
stand in the way of revision However
that may be, Quincy is entitled to a
more nearly "fair shake" than it has
received, either by the maker of the
schedule, or by the league associations
which voted to adopt it.
VIII II. Bremner, a prominent grad
uate of the state university, and for
many years chairman, and a member
of the states games committee, has
resigned the craftsmanship. Mr.. Brem-,
ner will detain his membership on the
committee. Guy Brewer, of Iowa State
College, was elected chairman in his
stead. The games committee consists
of representatives of the university,
Ames Grinnell and Drake.
tiovernortJohn A. johnson, OF Min
nesota, has practically put stop to
boxing in Minneapolis. He has or
deretl Sheriff Dregor. Of Hennepin
county, to stop all bouts in the flu
ture. For several months Minneap-
oils has been the scene of any NUM-
Der of fstic battles. Most of these,
however, were pulled off so quietly
and quickly that they were matters Of
newspaper record before the officials
knew they were on. In these fights
there have been few knock-outs, and
none where the promoters had time
to prevent them by demanding de-
cision.
The college base ball season opens

universities this week. Coach Will
isms has started his squad going at

Beware Of Ointments for catarrh That
Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it thru
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
seriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co., To-
ledo, O., contains no mercury, and is
taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system. In buying Halls Catarrh
