Coal Shortage.

The extreme cold weather has
caused a coal shortage, and it is
being felt in Baxter Springs. The
electric light plant has hunted
all over the country for coal, but
is having trouble in finding it,
and for that reason is compelled
to give short service until a sup
ply of coal can be secured. DR..
Jones tells us he has been getting
all the coal he could get hold OF,
and in some instances has been
paying very fancy prices for it,
in order to keep the plant run
ming.
So don't knock.

With a small production, hard
ly any surplus and conditions
that point to a curtailment of
production for an indefinite per-
iod, the ore market became
stronger as the week wore on
and as much as SAT was paid for
a few lots, and that price offered
for others but not accepted. The
second grade ores sagged down
to SAB, but the major portion of
them went at $44 to $40. The
highest settlement was $50.
Calamine ores were strong at
S27 and S2s, but the ores avail
able amounted to only few tons
in the CRANKY camp, held as sur
plus stocks.
Lead ores were slightly firmer
at the week end but the market
for the most part was a nominal
one at $50 to $50. The starting
up of the Webb City smelter is
taken as an indication that the
market will be better this COM
ing week.
The cold weather of the week
shut down the majority of all the
mines in the district and the &C
tual output will not exceed $500
tons, if that much. Neither is
there any improvement in sight
for the whole middle west is in
the throes of a blizzard condi-
ton with the temperature down
50 low as to prevent any resump'
ton of operations except in the
mills especially prepared Tor the
cold weather. The damage done
to water pipes and steam lines is
incalcuable and it will take some
time to repair them and get the
plants running even when the
weather moderates.

When to Plant
Bermuda.

uC tluC W oSS oSAA -
from March 1 to July 1. / shall
set mine this year in March, that
it may be out of the way of other
ia IN work. There is now plenty
OF moisture in the ground and 1t
will live until the warm weather
&C mes when it will grow and
m axe an early sod.
We always advocate not pas
turing the first season but we al
ways have pastured as there has
been as much grass the first year
of setting as there ever is of the
the native grass.
May is the best time to set ber-
muda but there is so much to do
then that we are apt to not get
the bermuna in.
March setting should be COW
cred deeper than later lest a
freeze should injure the roots.
Last year we set bermuda in Ju-
ly and September but such late
setting is not advisable.
So many write inquiring about
seed. The seedmen are the chief
advocates of starting bermuda
with seed. Practical men of ex-
perience set the roots from hardy
varieties. Occasionally we find
those who have been reasonably
successfully in securing a per-
manent stand of bermuda by SOW
ing the seed. They have sown
it in some sheltered place. To
SOW it out in the field it will win
ter kill for years or until it be.
comes hardy or acclimated as peo-
pie do in going into different
latitude. Better set roots of a
variety already acclimated. 1t
has taken twenty years to accli-
mate the bermuda growing on
our farm. Now it is a native OF
this latitude, and will better with
stand zero weather. Bermuda is
pushing northward every year
and being acclimated. Someday
it will be growing in Nebraska.
It will first be in yards in town,
then in sheltered fields and later
everywhere. When its value as
a pasture grass is once known 1t
will be sought by every farmer.
But there is a border line north
of which it will not be success
fully grown.
A quarter of a century ago we
wondered if alfalfa would ever
be grown east of the Rockies.
Now we have it everywhere but
the careful farmer buys seed
grown not far from home. Our
bermuda seed comes from afar.
Experience teaches US to touch
seed lightly, but set roots OF the
hardy varieties. The expense Of
setting is less than two dollars
an acre exclusive of roots. The
roots will stand us the cost Of
digging if we have them upor
our own farm. If we buy from
some farmer who has them to sell
they will cost one dollar a grain
sack full or six sacks for five dol
lar. Farmers who have roots tc
sell should advertise in the pa
pers as many would set from one
to ten acres if they knew where
; they could get the genuine hardy
bermuda.
A piece of bermuda root with
one joint will set a plat three
feet square. 1t will grow If IL
good condition and buried about
three inches deep in a moist sol
at the proper season. 1t is SLOW
to start, taking from one to three
: weeks according to conditions
When once started it bounds
like a rabbit. 1t is of the nature
of a strawberry in forming root
at every joint. These runner
cross and recross until the groun'
is a perfect mat. With season
able planting and good condition
the ground should be covered b,

MATT WELLS HAS
LOST HIS REP
Recent Defeat by Freddie
Welsh Euts Him Back
Where He Belongs.

great surprise to followers of boxing
to hear that Freddie Welsh regained
the English lightweight championship
by defeating Matt Wells. his former
conqueror. When Wells won from
Welsh nearly two years ago the feat
was looked upon as something in the
nature of a miracle. Later when
Wells came over here and defeated
K. o. Brown at the opening Of Madi-
son Square Garden IS a fight arena,
1t seemed as though Wells had been
misjudged and that he really was a
high class boxer. When he followed
by outpointing Abe Attell. this opinion
seemed to be confirmed. However.
later events showed that Wells re-
ceived more credit than was his due
for beating Brown and Attell. 1t de-
veloped that .Attell had gone back and
that Brown had been overrated. Out
side of his defeat of Welsh, it was
on these two victories that Wells re-
'putation hung. In later bouts he
proved to be no better than was at
first surmised.
Packey Mcfarland was the first to
break Wells bubble reputation. Wells
claimed i'll health was the cause Of
his poor showing on that occasion and
the excuse was accepted as having
something to do with it. But when
Wells was knocked down and nearly
beaten by Young Brown. who was
practically a novice at the time. It
became apparent that Wells was really
short Of being a great boxer. Brown
trained with Freddie Welsh for the
bout. and in their training gallops
Brown could not put a glove on the
clever Englishman. Yet he was able
to hold Wells to a close decision.
Welsh has announced his intention
of returning to this country as soon
as he fills a few theatrical engage
|ments. He has already stated that he
intends to become a citizen Of the
United States. in which ease he will
be forced to %relinquish the English
title. as 1t can only be held by an
Englishman. Welsh has property in
California. where he intends to make
his home in the future.

r Ted Dana

(Sy leo O80a.)
Not one Of the stories that have
since his death in Chicago begin to
give him credit for winning. almost
single-handed. two pennants in as
many years in the South Atlantic
league. according to a writer in Sport
ing Life. One of two Of the many ar
ticles dealing with the late twirler that
have been presented to fandom men,
toned the fact hat he pitched once
upon q time for the Charleston club.
but his wonderful work with the Sa-
vannah club seems to have been over
looked.
Billy Smith was manager Of the At
lanta club when Raymond was win
ming games for the jackson cluh of
the Cotton States league. He won a
double header in jackson one day and
that night left for Atlanta. Billy
Smith could not manage the cratic
finger. although he tried hard enough.
That happened during the season of
1906, while Wilson Matthews was UNI
piring In the South Atlantic league.
About m~id-season the Savannah
club was going badly. it's manager was
released and Matthews was given the
place. The first thing the new man
ager did was to secure Raymond from
Atlanta. That clubs rise was nothing
short Of mctoric. Inside of a month
Raymond's victories had brought the
club far up in tho race. Bugs kept on
winning and Savannah eventually non
the pennant.
In 1907 Matthews managed the
Charleston club. of the same league.
and Raymond was once more the
pitching marvel of the circuit. He
Won AZ or 4" games that season., or
