The recently organized state asso-

new law, and as Mr. Higgins fully in

Saturday evening President r. p.
McManus, OF the Keokuk Baseball
Association received telegram from
Secretary Farrell, which stated that
quincy must waive on Mertens before
the outiielder could become the prop

Burch Not Released.
| There has been a rumor about the
city Sunday and today that Southpaw
Burch has been released by Manager
Frank Belt. This is sternly denied
by both President McManus and

have originated before the slump
of Burch during the past two weeks.

Belt Protests Game.
Manager Frank Belt has protested
the two games lost at Waterloo yester-
4 day on the grounds that Waterloo has
under contract more than thirteen
players and it is thought that Belt will
be able to furnish plenty of evidence
when the protests are heard. In an
effort to strengthen it is thought that
Boyle is we'll over the limit in number
of players and the protest is one made
on good grounds.

-
IN times past it has been found a
difficult matter to convey electric pow
er any great distance without losing
from 25 to 40 per cent of the power in
transmission. This has been greatly
overcome in recent years by more per
feet insulation and larger cables. In
carrying power to st. Louis from Keo.
kuk the cables will need to convey it
for at least 200 N lies. 1t is said by
engineers that not per cent of this
power need be lost in transmission II
the present plans are followed out
In carrying power to Rochester from
Niagara very small percentage is
lost. The trick lies in the insulation,
it is said.

hnLnINo he cRoP.

The tiIler Of the son who is 50 SIT
uated that he can hold bis crop has
decided advantage over his fellow
producer who cannot do SO. II Is a
well known fact that the middleman,
quite generally comprising wholesalers
and commission men. like to get con-
troll OF just as large a percentage Of
the supply OF any product as possible
and as soon as may be after It Is fit
or ready for market This enables
them to control the supply, while there
accrues the added advantage Of buy
ing at the low prices which 50 often
prevail when the many who cannot
hold their product throw 1t on the
market. 1t is a matter OF mere OBJ
servation that unless starting prices are
high they advance materi-
ally as soon as the bulk Of any com
modify Is out Of the producers hands.
It IS on this account that n hand to
mouth policy In the matter Of market
Ing stuff IS to be discouraged, unless
prices prevailing are unusually high.
The adoption Of this plan usually re-
suits in an increased price for Craig
for some fruits and vegetables and
often IN the case Of farm animals, TO
put It in another way, the suggestion
may be made somewhat clearer by
saying that one should endeavor to SO
equip himself that he shall not be
victim Of the market circumstances
which may happen to prevail at any
given time.
