LA GRANDE TEAM DISBANDs.
Players Sign Up With Various Big
League Teams.

Ns6uO ANSDhAos
An item from La Grande says OF
the disbanding of the ball team of
that city:
The Inland Empire league is no
more Not even the Baker City and
La Grande players are kept. OF the
La Grande boys nearly all are sign
ed by other managers. Captain Lo-
dell goes to Vancouver club of the
Tri-City league. and Kotteman Joins
the Frakes. Fuchel and Childers have
signed up with Wallace, Idaho. Fuch-
ell is a good southpay and Childers Is
a crack third baseman. Zimmerman,
who plays center and can pitch on oc-
casion, has gone to Wardner, Idaho.
Fournier, who is probably the best
catcher ever playing in La Grande,
has been i'll and will probably be un-
able to play any more this season.
His home is in Aberdeen. Van Horst,
second, returns to his home in st.
Louis.

CHILDREN AS GOOD AS FELons.

Readers of current magazine litera-
ture have been startled by the horrors
Of child labor abuses in the cotton
mills of the south and will be greatly
pleased to know that the legislature of
Georgia, which is now in session is
about to consider bill which will linn
It the working of boys and girls tn ten
hours per day and to children twelve
years old or more.
The Atlanta Journal, Governor
Smiths paper, cautions the people of
Georgia not to get excited over cer-
tain abuses Of convict labor which
have resulted in the establishment of
a ten hour day for convicts at work
when ten year old children. law abiding
and innocent, are permitted to work
twelve hours per day.
The Journal argues:
And yet in our excitement over this
overshadowing question Of the convict
lease and its abuses we should not
forget that according to the present
child labor law of Georgia children as
young as ten years of age are allowed
to work twelve hours a day. The code
of Georgia limits the hours of employ
ment for children that work, except in
cotton and wooden mills, where the re-
quirement is an eleven-hour day for
children with the privilege of arrang-
ing a sixty siX-hour week to suit the
employer. The siXty-six-hour week
means 12-hour day for the first five
working days of the week. with half
holiday on Saturday. 1t is also a fact
that Georgia and North Carolina are
the only two states in the union which
allow children to work a twelve-hour
day and that North Carolina has a
thirteen year age limit; while Georgia
and South Carolina are the only two
states which allow children as young
as ten years of age to be employed
in factories: and South Carolina has
sixty-hour week. So that Georgia
stands alone in allowing a ten-year-
old child to work a sixtysix-hour week
in factories. This is also an indict-
ment to our humanity.
It Is estimated that there are at least
10,0DO children under the ages of six
teen wears in the manufacturing estab-
lishlnents of Georgia and 1t can easily
besseen of what Importance to humans
ty is the bill which the general judici-
airy committee of the house has unan-
imously recommended for passage.

HARMONY.

Ever since the second day Of June
we have heard much about harmony.
1t has been preached in the Des Moines
fCapital, in the Burlington Eye,
in the Sioux City Journal and In the
Cedar Rapids Republican. There was
fear that the Wogressives. defeated in
the primary as to the nominee for sem
ator and for governor. would bolt the
ticket but at the Waterloo convention
where the progressives were in control
Governor Cummins stepped forward
and declared for the progressive fac
ton in Iowa that Senator Allison and
Mr. Carroll had won their nominations
fairly and would receive his support.
The progressive convention cheered
and the resolutions committee brought
in a harmony platform. 1t was all
harmony.
Now the inevitable DEGREES OF time
have removed Senator Allison from
this earthly strife of men and the ques-
ton is. WAS it real harmony that eX-
listed or only a sham?" Was the faction
which voted for Allison and Carroll for
harmony or was it anxious only to
have the defeated faction stand for
harmony? Does harmony in the re-
publican party mean to support the
ticket when standpatters are ~nomin-
ated and raise a row when Cummins
is the candidate? What is harmony In
the republican party of Iowa anyway?
Does it mean Fred White for governor
and Claude Porter for senator or does
it mean a standpatter for governor and
a progressive for senator, a stand
patter for auditor and a progressive
for lieutenant governor, a standpatter
for treasurer and a progressive for att
torney general? Does harmony mean a
fair division or does it mean that each
faction is to eat up the other?

Seventh - A three-year rotation of

pasture.
Eighth - Hogs waste no more corn
in the field than when fed in yard.
They pick the corn as clean as most
men do in husliing.
Ninth--It is not expected that all
corn raised be fed off with hogs, but
the amount they can clean up from
the time it is nicely glazed until the
weather becomes unfavorabe may pc
very economically fed in this way.
Tenth-Hogs should not, as rule,
be turned into more corn at one time
than they can eat up clean In two or
three weeks. The shorter period is
preferable.

FOREIGNER IS DISAPPEARING.

The marked changes that are coming
over the foreign born settlements in
Iowa whereby the actual disappearance
of the foreigner is apparent gives the
interior people little fear from the So
called immigrant problem. Any one
at all conversant with the manner in
which this section of the country was
settled, knows that it was accom-
p.isbed largely by people from Norway
ard Sweden, Denmark, Germany and
other foreign countries who, attracted
Inv cheap fertile lands, where the ex-
ersise of industry and economy meant
the quick acquisition of farm, came
here by thousands and proceeded to
occupy the country. AS might be ex-
pected they retained their language
and customs and miniature reproduce
lions, so far as population was con-
cerned, of those far-off countries came
into existence here, and for time 1t
seemed that these conditions would be
perpetuated indefinitely.
Typical Of this is the case Of
western Iowa county which was set
tied in large part by German immi-
grants. Whole townships were oc-
cupied by former subjects Of the
Kaiser, towns were established in
which German schools and churches
were founded and in which the Eng
lish language was seldom employed.
Travellers said, t'The Dutch have taken
this country and they will keep it too"
But along in the sos during the
railroad building era the price of land
in this section began to rise. Those old
German pioneers seemed to have
natural faculty Of selecting good farm
lands and this case was no exception
to the rule. Land soon reached a
figure that barred the further entrance
of the immigrant, and stopped the in
fux Of foreign blood.
Meanwhile another generation, the
sons and daughters Of these settlers,
were growing to maturity, and upon
them the effects Of the public school
and other prevalent agencies were soon
apparent. Parents addressed their
children in the native tongue and were
answered in English. In the towns the
change was even more marked. and IN
town and country as the older men re-
tired from active participation in at
fairs the community became what
might be properly termed German
American.
And now after a lapse of less than
forty years since the beginning of this
movement the third generation of these
people are beginning to take the places
of the second with little except habits
of unusual thrift and industry to dis
tinguish them from descendants OF
English speaking people. English is
the language in general use and Ger
man is an accomplishment.

FORESTRY IN CHINA.

The almost worldwide movement
to protect and establish forests has
reached China, and the first Chinese
school of forestry will soon be
opened at Moukden. The Chinese
empire is usually pointed out as
the worst example among modern
nations of forest destruction. The
foods which are periodically poured
down from the denuded mountains
are destructive beyond comparison
with any other county, and the want
of forests is assigned as the chief
cause, Wood is scarcer in China than
in almost any other region in the
world, although the country is well
adapted to the growing of trees. In
the establishment of forest school
the Chinese government gives evil
dence that it realizes the need OF
beginning its reforestation in a
scientific manner.
