According to figures just issued
by the bureau of statistics, Depart
ment of Agriculture, the average
monthly wages of farm laborers in
Iowa during the year 1910 was $39
without board and $2S with board,
as against $25.41 and SIT, respec-
lively, in 1890. The average per
diem pay at harvest time was S2.51
without board and S2.12 with board
compared with Sill and $3.50, re-
spectively in 1890. In 1890 farm
labor was secured at 95 cents a
day outside of harvest with board
and $1.23 without board, but in
1910 the same labor commanded
$1.57 and $1.98. Nevada last year
paid an average of $50 a month fol
farm labor, which was the highest
in the country, while South Carolina
secured labor at the lowest figure
S16.50; both without board.

very favorably upon the donation to

The that lasts IS the ear that pays That's LOO per cent If you went to one of the 2O 900 owners of all E-NI-F and tried to buy it, it's a safe bet the man would ask you almost what he paid for it, even if he bought it two years ago Just scan the dealers sales lists in any of the jour nas and see whether you can find used EMF s'30' for sale You don't have to be mathematc ian to figure out what this means.

Then the car Then the merits of the creating huge demand Then an adequate plant and machinery to meet the demand. Then the distribution of cost of manufacture over immense quantities, instead of llhtcd number of ears, bringing the price within the reach of the most moderate income and morrow ef, offering car good aS across the water kind. The automobile industry it's inception 1898. Many manufacturers blaggng about the number of cars they have sold but they don't state how many years t has taken them to sell then Where can you find such rapid growth in public favor and appre- clation as the E-M-F Company's cars? The proof is in the number we have sold and the time in which sold them In little two years nearly 3O,O0O EMF 3O'' and Flanders ''2O'' automobiles have been made in our pants and we shall make and sell 3O,OOO more this year.
 Now, word about what the high quality anh low price of the EMF '30 have accomplished. They have pricked the bubble of inflated values and literally forced rival manufacturers to give dollar for dollar value. The newspapers have been filled of late with the significant headlnes-t Reduction in Price, What does this mean? Simply ths that the purchaser had not been getting his moneys worth We took the public into confidence. We told them how we made orld-beatng quality and sold it at rock bottom, with standard equipment for $1,25O. This price created consternation in the camp of our rivals, but great the demand for the E-M-F "3O" that the cost of production further dstri- buted. At one stroke we slashed off $250 and this ''3O horse power Standard Touring Car is $1,- 900. We are justly proud of our achievement
 Our Years Guarantee is interesting reading to the prospective purchaser It is liberal service insul- covering the and it's equipment for one year This guarantee is really unnecessary have hundreds of letters from proudly stating that their EMF "30 has stood not only the test of ime, but every condition that possibly be expect ed of an automoble-and more.

Manager McAleer will not do any coach
ing this season from the side lines. He
has not even ordered a uniform. He be-
lieyes that with so many veterans who
know the game from every angle. his
presence on the lines will do little good,
and he thinks that by sitting on the
bench he can be just as effective.
Probably the biggest sensation at Hot
Springs among the baseball fraternity
was the appearance one night of Dixie
Walker in full dress suit.
1t is necessary to know Dixie to ap-
preciate this. The big twirler has spent
most of his life on farm down in Ala
bama, and has had no opportunity to
mix with society or go to dances.
At Hot Springs three of the hotels give
formal hops" and at the Park, where
the Washington players were stopping,
George McBride's boys were invited.
Most of the boys brought along their
evening clothes and were right in the

NEW SUITS FOR NATIONALS.

Manager McAleer to-day ordered meas
urements taken for new uniforms for
tUenty-one players, and a. G. Spalding' s
representative in Atlanta was on the
job at the field. The Spalding firm is
to make the out-of-town suits of gray
flannel and blue trimmings, and will also
supply big heavy sweaters to match.
The sweaters will be plain gray, with
out trimming or letters.
In addition to the veterans, only two
new men are included in these measure
ments, Bunting and Miller. This does
rot mean that Swain, Conway, Keefe,
Bussey. Sherry, and Corbin are not going
TO make good, but the club will carry
only twenty-one players, and the uni
forms ordered can be easily altered TO
hit any of these last mentioned.
The complete measurements of the Ma
tionals, as approved by Manager Nc
Aleer are as follows.

eral others were about to do the society
act, who should appear but Dixie" Walker
in a spike-tailed coat white gloves. and

this perfect makeup was a soft-bosomed
shirt and a blue tie.
For ten minutes Dixie" was the tar
get for a lot of Sood-natured kidding
but it did not faze him a bit. He re-
newed his acquaintances with some OF
the ladies and was soon hitting around
so in the waltz league.
While the boys smiled at Dixie" in
evening rags, they all admitted that he
made fine appearance.
1t is strange how some players come
by their nicknames. For instance. there
are three members of the Nationals who
are called DOC" They are Gessler,
RaIston, and Meyer.
Gessler studied medicine at the Univer-
sity of Maryland. but never graduated
Ralston is a graduate of the University
of Pittsburg, and, during the winter
months maintains a good practice with
his father. As for Moyer-he is col
lege man, and holds a sheepSkin from
Western Reserve, of Cleveland. but never
studied medicine or dentistry. Meyers
home is in Andover. Ohio, and his father
is leading physician of the place. On
account of his fathers reputation, young
Meyer was Immediately dubbed Doc"
when he started in to play professional
ball in the o. and p. League.
Great times are expected next week
when Germany Schaefer's Sausages meet
the Nationals regulars. Germany him
self wishes his team to be called the
Sausages, and has agreed to stand for it.
George Mcbride will, of course, be the
leader of the first team, and declares the
Sausages will be lucky to win a game.
Il believe Tom Hughes can bat a ball
farther than any other player in the
world" declared Doc Gessler to-day, aft
er he came trotting in from right field at
the close of a strenuous practice. Hughes
hit half a dozen way over Gessler's head.
and the big fielder was playing deep, too.
Groom and Dolly Gray are also good
fungO hitters, while Walter johnson is

Every man was in the pink Of condition

of luck big totals would be rolled in all

sanSuine of the prospects OF the Carroils.
Capt. Miller, of the Saengers. declared

whole lot of confidence in himself.
and the way he is now landing on
the ball is a caution.
Corbin looked so good Thursday
that several of the old-timers re-
marked, That boy will have them
all hustling for one of the outfield
jobs If he keeps up such work"
Corbin's every action reminds one
of Clyde Milan. He is fast on his
feet, left-hand hitter, strong, and
wiry. AS Manager Jim has thus
far refused to let the outfielders
throw home. il is impossible to
learn what Corbin can do in an at
tempt to nip a runner at the plate.
For a youngster who has only
been in organized baseball one year,
Corbin looks awfully good. Several
of the Atlanta scribes DECLARE that

the latter had to he carried of the field
Trainer QTirk dressed the wound and
reported a bad sprain and also slight
cut.
Dolly Gray declared after he was taken
out that he felt good enough to finish
the game. He even begged McAleer to
let him continue, but the Nationals boss
was obdurate and Dolly had to beat it,
to the clubhouse.
On the great showing OF John Henry
to-day, both at the bat and in the field,
he looks good enough to be picked for
the Nationals regular first baseman. 1t
is whispered that when the final counting
comes Henry will be elected. But, then,
Somerlott has not yet appeared on the
scene.
The practice this morning was Just as
hard as on any of the previous days.
Everybody was on hand except Pitchers
Gray and Bussey, who twirIed against
the college Doys this afternoon.
Bill Cunningham will sleep all right
when he crawls into the hay tonight.
for he was kept at the ball park all
day. After the morning practice, during
which Cunningham was kept as busy as
a dog with two tails, he logged around
the park, a dozen times and kept up
light exercise until about an hour before
the game Trainer Joe Quirk kept him
until the boys arrived to dress
for the game. "Cunny' was not al
lowed to eat any dinner, and did not
get out of his baseball togs until after
the game. Manager McAleer ordered this
as an experiment Cunningham, as the
writer has previously stated, is much
overweight and does not yield to the Gus
tomary treatment, but a few days like
to-day and the youngster will be in shape
all right.
Tom Hughes was also excused from
pitching 10 the batters, on account Of his
lame arm.
The hours for practice next week will
be the same. Preliminary workouts will
start promptly at 1890. and at II 30 the
games will be on. Germany Schaefer's
Sausagrs have already been given in
structions from their chief, and they ex-
pect to pull off lot OF inside ball. The
writer has been appointed official scorer
for Schaefer's Sausages.
