DO SCOUTS REALLY scouT2
They Are the Means of Saving Big League Clubs Many Thousands An nuaIlys

Do scouts really scout, or are they
 primarily safety valves of the major league mechanism? Judging from what you hear of these spies of the diamond their sole function Is to fol- low in the trail of a youngster whose work has attracted attention and has furnished food for favorable comment. If said youngSter measures up to the standard of excellence set by the scout he advises the club he represents that it might be well to buy. Some addi
 tional mechanism that moves the larg-
 CT baseball clubs is set in motion and
 in the end deal is made; a tryout
 in the upper circles is assured for
 the youngster in the following spring,
 and a minor league club owner basks in his own smiles while wondering what to do with the purchase money. Such is the work of the scout as believe, but in reality his chief work lies in another and somewhat different channel, says an exchange. Ask a major league club owner, and he will | likely inform you that he keeps high l salaried, expert judges of baseball flesh upon his pay roll more as mat ] ter of precaution to keep him from
 being hoodwinked than for the mere purpose Of marshallnE young blood
 and new faces for seasons ahead. This

 Of Europe's three leading financial institutions, the statement of the Im- perial Bank of Germany was far and away the most favorable. disclosing large gains in gold and cash, with a decided contraction of discounts. The British bank lost more gold, it's lia- bility reserves are much under last years, and the per cent. discount is the highest in about two years The Bank of France also lost some gold and increased its discounts by over SS7, ,000,0 ,000
 Firmness prevailed on the Paris bourse, while Berlin was reacEonary by reason of the Balkan troubles. Money was dearer in London as a re- suit Of the higher bank rate, and our securities evinced an inclination to sag. Later, however, London turned mod crate buyer in this market, again talk ing Amalgamated Copper and United States Steel.

SILO HAS GROWN
RAPIDLY IN FAVOR
Iowa's Farmers Are Responding to the
Growing Demand for Si'os by
Erecting Thousands

Des Moines, Dec. 23.-(SpeciaD -
The silo is a measure Of the pros
perity Of Iowa farmers, according to
W.. B. Barney, state commissioner OF
food and dairy, and in his biennial re.
port recently printed he calls atten-
ton with pride to the fact that be-
tween seven and eight thousand silos
have been built in Iowa the past year
alone. This is fixing a high speed limit
on the silo proposition.
"Practically every farmer admits
that the silo is a good thing" Mr.. Bar
ney says, but he puts off until to-
morrow what he should do today and
the waste of the crop continues from
year to year. In the corn belt where
stalks are allowed to stand in the field
40 per cent Of the crop is wasted. 1t
has been estimated that an acre of
corn put up in the silo has a value of
$45 while the anne standing in the
field and husked has a value Of S27.
Thus it can be seen that the silo near,
" doubles the value of the corp crop"
The increase in the price of Iowa
land is one thing that has made it
necessary for the progressive farmer
to build & silo.

RAISE ROW OVER
C%ANCELLING V
cunmins Company Involved In A.
legged Irregularities In p. O.
Department.

Washington. D. c., Dec. 23.-Alleged
irregularities in bidding for contracts
for renting cancelling machines to the
p%ostofice department which are being
investigated by a house subcommittee,
and which involve the B. F. Cummins
company Of Chicago, are receiving
considerable attention here. Mr. Cum
minis is a brother of Senator Cummins.
Because of the situation, Postmaster
General Hitchcock has revoked an or
der for opening bids for 100 machines.
The charge Of irregularity hinges on
the allegation that First Assistant
Postmaster General Grandf1eld allowed
Mr.. Cummins to put in a lump bid in
stead Of bidding on individual types
of machinery, a privilege no other
bidder got, though it appears none
asked it. The affair seems to be
largely a row among the concerns
seeking the contract.
