Significance of Move.

Keokuk's plan carried with 1t more
significance than at first might be
imagined. The salary limit for the
clubs was decreased to $1,000 at the
annual meeting and the maximum
salary limit for new players placed at
500. This meant that a club could
not sign a ball player who was not
reserved from the year before at
salary to exceed 500, although the
old ball players could be retained at
any price.
1t is not necessary for one to draw
on his imagination to see how such
proposition will work. If ball club
has no star to be reserved from the
previous season it has about as much
chance to land pennant as last
years Keokuk team had to land a
worlds championship. Why? Just for
the reason that no good ball players
can be signed. An experienced player
will not put his John Hancock to a
contract for 500 per month. Then
how are you to get him?

The event Was so unusual that it was deemed of sufficient importance to be telegrapned to evSpa pers in different parts of the country, It was an inter- estins occurrence because so large a body of men should join in making such a VOW.

 There was an average daily absence throughout the month of 4.s. At this rate the town will lose from the aver age attendance grant s120.
 The school officers and superintend- ent are endeavoring to secure the hearty cooperation of the parents in the efrort to increase the average at- tendance.
 The percentage of attendance for the several schools in the town of Bolton sor December follows: Birch Mountain district s2.5 per cent; Center district, H0.e per cent: South district. SS.6 per cent: Quarryviile district. S6.1 per cent; all the districts. S7.9 fper cent. The average daily abssuca was s.5. 1t this rate the town will lose from the average attendance grant s212.50.
 Irregular attendance means not only a loss of money to the town but it ,rakes ft difficult for the teachers to keep the schools up to a high standard and impossible for the pupils to ad- vance rapidly.
