American Association With.
draws Demands on Nation
al Commission

Chicago, Sept. 7.-There will be no
war in organized baseball at present.
Neither will the status of the Ameri-
can association be changed. At
meeting of the minor league magnates
with President Thomas NJ. Chivington
here today it was decided to with
draw the petition they presented to
the National commission on August
/, demanding a change in their rat-
ing, the commission having previous
ly refused to grant the demands.
The action today amounts to COM
plete surrender on the part Of the
American association. The petition
asked that the draft price of Ameri-
can association players be made
$4,000 dollars instead of $1,000, the
present price, and that only one play
er be taken from each club in one
year.

H0b0ES INDULGE
IN warm SCRAP
Mrs. Roberts Tried to Talk Re-
ligion But Was Refused
Hearing

Washington, Sept. 7.-Insurgency in
Millionaire Hobo" J. Eads How's
convention Of the unemployed, which
has been struggling for q voice for
several days, swept to its tide yester-
day. and turned the erstwhile peace
full gathering into a shouting, stamp
ing meeting of socialists and social
istic smypathizers. Sweeping aside
for moment the advice of the mil
lionaire hobo" the delegates and vis-
itors greeted with Kisses and angry
shouts Mrs. B. K. Roberts, wife Of
Gen Roberts. U. 8. A., retired, and
another society woman, who were in
terested in the convention, and at
tempted to speak on religion to the
''hoboes."
Familiar. as she thought, with the
poor of the city, because of her long
work in the slums of Washington,
Mrs. Roberts went with her friend to
get at first hand Impressions of the
hobo" convention. Wishing to say q
word Of kindness to the men before
they left, the women tried to speak
OF the work they were doing. But the
socialists of the convention wanted
no religion injected into the gather
ing.
Try to Hide Names.
In the confusion that followed the
demonstration against the visitors.
they attempted to escape without re-
vealing their identity. Mrs. Roberts
was recognized but she declined to
give the name Of her companion. To
the repeated demands of DR.. How
that they tell vino they were the wo-
men replied that they were voices" !"
and wanted to be known by their
work, not their Names"
Attracted by the announcement that
there would be special religious
meeting at hobo headquarters yes
terday afternoon, the women arrived
early AID took seats near the front
Of the hall. Both were dressed ele-
gantly in white. They evidently were
deeply interested in the working peo-
pie, and during the interrupted talks
mentioned that they had always done
their utmost to relieve the suffering
Of the poor.
Crowded into the back Of the hall
were several score of real ''hoboes," )"
many Of whom Travelled across the
continent to attend the convention.
Most Of the front seats. however, were
1t resolveds." DR.. How, who second
ed the resolution, explained that al
! though 1t was rather academic in
language" it was very good reso-
luton. 1t was plainly too academic
for the "hoboes." for only fourteen
voted for 1t, and one against it. Sew
sral hundred persons were at the
meeting.
A movement to formally launch
! the Hobo News. a proposed publica-
ton devoted to the affairs of the un-
employed, was started by DR.. J. F.

1t is subject in which we should all

necessary to demonstrate this fact

this State and in other Southern
States, is to bend our energies to the
task And the task is an easy one.
Last year, at the Station, one

HOW TO FIGHT HOUSEFLIES.

Flies do not ordinarily travel to
any great distance and if little care
is taken, their number may be greatly
reduced. Especially does the farmer
have the chance Of abating the pest
so far as his own premises are con-
cerned.
The eggs laid by flies hatch in
about day into the familiar white
maggots. After about five days spent
feeding, if the food supply is unlim-
tied, and a couple of days in a rest
ing stage, the adult flies appear. 1t
takes them slightly more than a week
from fly to fly. If manure can be
disposed Of, hauled to either the field
or a compost heap some distance
from the house every five to seven
days, no flies will be able to develop.
If it is not possible TO thus dispose
of the manure, it may be possible to
provide room, dark and thoroughly
screened, into which the manure may
be put until it can be disposed Of
Of all the substances used to kill
or repel flies, the one which has
proven most satisfactory is ordinary
air-slaked lime. Lime is a first-class

capacity? The answer is: They are
not. The South made a wise move
when it swung ever few years ago
to the Investigation of crops, for, by
raising cotton almost exclusively, it
was cheapening it's staple product,
while it was spending it's earnings
upon breadstuffs from the North and
West, which it could Just as we'll
raise at home. What is wanted of
the South now is not that it return
to the old single crop system, but
that it adopt advanced methods in
the cultivation of it's present cotton
acreage. No one at all familiar with
the facts will think President Hobbs
over-Optimistic when he says that the
cotton crop of the present acreage
might be doubled by improved
methods. It is not necessary, and it
might not be wise, to double the
present crop; but it would relieve a
worldwide strain and help to pro-
mote worldwide industry and COM
fort, if the production of cotton were
increased by rs per cent.-Christian

THE DEMAND FOR COTTON.

The demand for cotton is greater
than ever before in the history of the
staple. and it is a demand that is
keeping pace with the modern accel-
Grafton of human progress. A list of
uses to which cotton is being put in
these days, a list of industries to
which it is a necessity, would go far
toward filing this column. Moreover,
cotton comes next to food products in
the list of material necessities. The
more advanced man becomes in civil
ization, the more cotton he employs
in uses that make for his personal
comfort. Cotton enters into clothing
almost universally. We have it on
the authority of President Franklin
W. Hobbs of the National Association
of Cotton Manufacturers that Of the
1900, 100000 people on earth at the
present time, only 500,000,000 are
completely clothed, while 50,000,000
are clothed only in part. AS humanity
moves forward it seeks more and
more comfort, and the additions to
the advancing classes from the mil
lions upon millions that have been
tagging through the age are going to
be larger in the future, and more fire.
quent and regular, than at any time
in the past, because all countries and
all lands are being opened to civiliza-
ton.
1t is calculated that if the entire
population of the world were clothed
completely the necessary cotton crop
would have to run up to 100000
bales. Last years world production
was only 100000 bales. The ca
pacity of the cotton mills of the world
at present is about 20,0OO,OOO bales.
The mills of this country, like the
mills of England, owing to the recent
shortage of supply and consequent
high prices, have been curtailing pro-
duction. High prices have affected
buyers with the result that consump-
ton has been diminished. AS de-
scribed by Mr.. Hobbs, the cotton
business is at present on a very mar
row basis. Plainly, more cotton will
have to be grown to relieve the strain,
and, plainly, also, it will have to be
grown in this country.
The question will naturally be
asked: Are not the Southern cotton
fields already producing to their full
