The Journal hopes the teachers of the county will take up the Boys Corn Club movement with the boys of their respective schools this winter and get the boys inter ested in the matter in time for them to enter actively into the work for next year. This is prov ing a great educational work among the boys where is proper ly handled, and it is not only edu- cational but profitable. The teach CTS of the county can be a tremen- dous power for good in this work if they will only make the proper effort in getting an interest work ed up among the boys.

Rev. Frank Barrett, superin- tendent of the Arkansas Anti-Sa- loon League, makes the positive announcement that the question of statewide prohibition will be submitted to the voters of the state at the next election. Arkan- sas has witnessed some exciting campaigns, but 1t is very probable that for a real lively scrap, this one will surpass all others. The liquor people are getting into the game early and already the so- called Model License League is trying to line up the newspapers for local option.

Sam Holland, a farmer living
 near Eureka Springs, planted four acres of corn last spring and culti- yated 1t according to the methods of improved farming advocated by the government in the regular farm demonstration work. This fall he gathered 520 bushels of corn from the four acres, or 130 bushels per acre. This is only one of many instances where far mers have been richly rewarded by adopting improved methods of farming. Here is more food for thought for those who killed the demonstration work in this county.

 This illustrates in a small way the development possibilities surrounding Chicago, and in my opinOin this con gress, under the leadership of you men of Chicago, can do no better work for the people of the entire nation than to press with vigor your movement to enlist the aid of the nation in your movement for the reclamation of our swamp lands This movement is your it is Wisconsn's movement and it is my movement.

SPAULD|MG TALKS
 ABOUT HOME LAND
Gets a Good Interview m Atlantic
 City Daily Press.

F.. A. Spaulding of this city, who
 has been attending the General As sembly of the Presbyterian church in
 Atlantic City, mas gained the ear Of the newspar-rmen in those parts foI
 more or less publicity respecting the home land. In recent issue Of the
 Atlantic City Daily Press Mir. Spauld-
 ing secured the following interview:
 Mir. F.. A. Spaulding. of Phoenix,
 Arizona. a commissioner from the
 Phoenix Presbytery to the General Assembly now in session in Atlantic City. called at the office of the Daily Press yesterday morning and showed us some very creditable publications illustrating the section from which he comes and gave us the following facts, which We believe will be of interest to our readers, many of whom think about Arizona as a wild and almost unciviliZed portion of our country:
 Phoenix is located in the center of the great Salt River Galley, one of the largest and most fertile of the irrigated districts of the world under one system of irrigation. This valley is the beneficiary of the great Roose- welt Dam, recently completed by the United States government at an eX- pense of more than nine millions of dollars. including the power canals. concrete diversion dams. canals. lat eral etc.
 The capacity of the Roosevelt reservior is 1,2S4,205 acre feet. ar enough to cover l.2S4.205 acres with water one foot in depth. Today there is over 530.0O0 acre feet of water in the reservior. which is sufficient to cover every acre of land in the val ley now in cultivation, more than 4 feet in depth and all this in addition to the natural daily flow of the Salt and Verdi rivers. Is it any wonder that the ranchers of this favored land look towards the future with confi- dence and assurance? Conservative estimates show that the water supply will me ample for from 240.000 to 260.O00 acres Of land. only little more than one-half of which is now in cultivation.
 But it is in the religious. moral and educational conditions that I am most deeply interested and I am very desirious that the good people of the east should know that Phoenix is q desirable and safe place for moral and intellectual people to locate.

dry by a good majority but within
 the city limits of Phoneix there was a small majority in favor of the sa- loon, and, as we are under law segregating the cities from the rest of the county in these matters. We now have saloons in Phoenix and prohi- bitiOn throughout the rest of the county. When we become a state un- der the constitution recently adopted by a vote of nearly eighty per cent of the people 1t will not bc as hard for the voice of the people to be heard in legislative matters as it has been in the past and there iS little doubt that a way will be found to make all of Maricopa county dry
 Regarding education. it can truth fully be said that our public school system is equal to that of any part of the United States Graduates from the Phoenix High School enter An apolis. West Point. Yale. Stanford. Berkeley or any other of the great credits for work done and what is of far greater importance-they make good after entering.
 Tt is stated on good authority that there are more college bred people in Arizona in proportion to the white population than in any other state or territory in the union About three years ago class of twenty eight graduated from our high school and twenty-seven of them signified intention of continuing their studies in higher institutions of learning What school can beat that record 2

TAFT INVESTIGATING
 BEE RIVER BREAK
Much Concerned Over Lower Colorado
 Problem.

President Taft is greatly concerned in the problem of controlling the low CT Colorado river. according to a special dispatch to the Los Angeles Times. He desires to get information regarding the task Col Ockerson has been trying to solve and for which congress voted S1 100000. The greater portion of which has been expended in work which thus far has proved only partially adequate to stop the river from cutting through it's banks.
 The break at Bee river threatens such serious ultimate damagr tO the whole Imperial water system that vigorous measures are necessary to complete Ockersons work and the president contemplates sending special message to congress asking for an immediate appropriation to enable him to carry the work through to suc- cessful completion.
 In order that the president may have all possible information "egarG- ing the situation in the Colorado as well as Knowledge about the VasarI,s of the river and the engineering pro3- lems to be met, q conference was cail- Su III LoS hhS'i'S i'i N'S''iuiS pN 'i' secretary of the interior.

that many Of the balls in use this
year have been very bad. SaVagely
hit six or seven times in a row, they
would become Iopsided. Hundreds Of
them have been thrown out as USE

thousands of fans fail to appre-
ciate the fact that the main reason
why there are so few 800 and $50
hitters in the big leagues today is that
the foul strike Tule-unknown in the
eighties and nineties-is now in opera
tion. Lots Of opposition TO the rule
has been shown from time to time, but
it was a wise bit Of legislation. 1t
stopped lot of monkey shines on the
part of the batters, and it gave the
fans a chance to get home to hot sup

After all, it is quite probable that
the one and the only way to increase
the number Of base hits is to go out
and get hitters."

CHIVINGTON ON
JUMP SCHEDULE

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 1.-THE plan of
arranging four jump schedule of the
American association is an innovation
in baseball, especially in the big
leagues, as it has been the custom
since the inception of the American
association for each club to make but
three trips of the circuit during the
season.
Adopting four jump schedule will
be an experiment. said President
Chivington, but / believe it will be
more satisfactory than if the clubs
were to make only three trips. 1t will
give the teams more games at home
and lessen the number of travelling
days While making a trip the teams
will only be away from twelve to
sixteen days, whereas they were on the
road from eighteen days to three weeks
in following the routes of the previous
schedules"
The plan of invading Chicago with
a club was not discussed, although it
has been reported that an option had
been secured on the north side with a
view to launching a team to fight the.
National league clubs in Chicago. The
"'oOSAo'Aoi 10 lelu W
ten year agreement with the eastern
league and national commission and
will be unable to formulate plans for
expansion until the expiration Of the
contract next fall.
Managers or captains of teams who
permit players under their charge to
burlesque the game will be subject to
a fine of 5000 and fifteen days of sus-
pension without pay according to the
resolution adopted by the directors.
President Chivington has been author
lied to infiict the penalty for any
infraction of this rule
President Chivington announced that
he would issue call for schedule
meeting to be held in Chicago early
in February.

SAYS Change Is
NOT PRACTICAL

Detroit, Jan. 14.-Hughey Jennings,
all in favor of the many suggestions
to improve batting. He says they are
all impractical.
IT am not quite sure that any Of the
suggestions to improve the batting are
practical" said Hughey Jennings,
manager of the Detroit tigers. THE
plan that seems to have the most adj
vocates is the one to cut down the
number of balls necessary to give a
batter his base on balls from four to
three.
There is no doubt that such a rule
would increase the. number of bases on
balls considerably, but it would also
check the pitchers in their schemes to
work the batters,' and would force
them to keep the ball nearer the center
Of the plate, where it could be met
"The bench batter idea-the plan to
carry along an extra man to bat in
the pitchers place-thus relieving the
twirler from all batting and base run
ming duties, has it's merits, no doubt
wasn't a good one, although the clubs
even uO" are NSLA lLlB dDOul all the
men they can afford.
THE suggestion about the adoption
Of a bigger bat, is, think, wholly i'm
practical. The bat may be an inch or
over three inches wide, let us say, but
the ball must be met in the center Of
that bat IL 1t is to be hit safely
1T is often forgotten that Duffy
Keller, and McGraw did all their great
hitting with small sticks. When Duffy
set the worlds bunting average for a
season at .428 in 1894, he used one Of
the smallest bats ever swung at a
ball. The same is true of Keller when
he batter All in 1897 and 3S7 in 1898
The size Of the bat has little to do with
the batting average. It's the man be-
hind that really counts.
ALSO the plan to increase the size
and weight of the ball, or to invest it
with more rubber, to my way OF think
ing, is impractical. The ball is hard
enough to handle now.
cor course, the general public does

tween capital and labor.
The phenomenal advance of Joe
Tinker, Jimmy Callahan, Christy
Mathewson, Doc White and other fol-
lowers of the national pastime is the
cause of the cry for the removal of
their kind from the spotlight. Men and
women who earn livelihood from
their efforts on the stage believe their
future will be blasted if ball players,
after a successful season on the dia-
mond, invade the stage.
Dissatisfaction has been expressed
for some time at the inroads Of the
ball players, and it has been learned
from an authentic source that drastic
action is to be taken which in the end
may mean war between the thespians
and the managers of theatres through
out the country.

their membership. If this plan is ad-
hered to, which appears at the pres
ent time, to be sure, Tinker ct al, will

A SCHOOL FOR
BALL PLAYERS

Chicago, Jan. 14.-The secret of be-
coming great baseball player is
solved. All the budding young player
has to do is to sign up for a course Of
lessons in the correspondence school of
baseball
Johnny Evers, famous second base
man OF the cubs, is the discoverer, pro-
prietor, president and chief professor
of the new wrinkle in the educational
world. Johnny is now at Troy, N. Y,
looking after some business interests,
and his plan for a correspondence
school of baseball is unfolded in let
ter received here today. He declares
he will open up the school shortly.
The idea occurred to Evers when he
received offers from Annapolis, Yale,
and Williams, asking that he coach
their baseball teams this spring. John
ny studied the matter over and con-
Guided that the only way he could
coach all of the teams would be by
mail. Hence the first correspondence
school of baseball.
