Meeting of Representatives Of All
Minor Leagues viii be Held
al Columbus November
II, ~ and 10.

The annual meeting OF the Keokuk
base ball club will be called Prob
ably some time. next week. The
meeting is OF course public affair
any any one who desires may attend.
Annual reports will be read, includ-
ing a financial report, which will sh wv
how near the club came this year to
paying expenses. Although the report
has not yet been completed it Is
thought that on account of the mon
ey taken in from players drafted and
sold this season that the finances or
the club are in fairly good condition.
AT this meeting will be decided the
question of whether or not Keekuk
will endeavor to remain In the Cen
trail Association next year. 1t Is be-
lieved by SOME that II Keokuk dropped
out of the association for couple OF
years and then returned to tie league
that the people of the city would take
an added interest in baseball and the
club would be self supporting as a re-
suit. The chief objection to this meth
cd of procedure offered is that 1t
might be impossible for the city to
get back in the league If it ever drop
ped out Moreover, it is said there
is no real assurance that the club
would be self-supporting after return
ing to the league If the city did d op
out for couple OF years. This ques-
ton will most likely be taken up and
thrashed out at the meeting next
week.

The Crux of the
Agency Question

Among the best Agencies conn
missions are similar. One service
costs about the same as another.
The whole question centers on,
Who can sell most for the money?
And that is best decided by the
men and their records.
Advertising success, like all conn
mercial success, lies in getting
right men behind you. We claim
in this line to have the ablest corps
that was ever brought together.
We solicit a chance to prove it.

AMERICANS FLED FOR SAFETY

The American Colony Sought Shelter
in Suburbs-30o Dead and
$500 Wounded

The City of Mexico.
an early resumption of hostilities,
more than six hundred Americans
fed from their homes to temporary
abodes in the outskirts of the city,
where the danger of the fire will be
minimized.
Ambassador Wilson, on information
from the national palace, knew that
the government planned a crushing
blow. Determined to save the Amer
leans if possible, he rented numerous
houses to which, under flags of truce
agents of the embassy hurried in mo-
tor cars, as many women and chill
dren as would agree to be trans
ported.
The capital was quiet at night but
the fugitive foreigners, filed with
horror by the frightful bombardment
of the last two days, needed little
urging.
While the ombardment was far
heavier than on the preceding day,
the probable loss of life was smaller.
The casualties are estimated at not
less than 800 dead and 1900 wounded
in the two days fighting.
Besides two American women who
been wounded. But the total number
of native noncomb atants injured was
undoubtedly small.
The reports from the Diaz head
quarters that his losses have been
negligible are received with some
doubts.
About 10 O'Clock at night there was
sharp action for a few minutes by i
federal battery against the rebel po-
sition, but at II o'clock the city was
tranquil, with all the street lights out.
Washington, D. C.-Alarmed by re-
ports from Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson that the ombatantS in the
City of Mexico were training their
guns in such direction as to increase
the danger to Americans and other
foreign residents, the State Depart
ment hurriedly dispatched instruc-
tions to Mr.. Wilson to warn all non
combatants to keep out of the fight
ing zone.
Late developments in the situation
were awaited by Secretary Knox and
other State Department officials at the
Knox residence, where messages from
Ambassador Wilson were received
and answered.

CAPT. SCOTS LAST MESSAGE
Story of How the Five Heroes Died
in the Antarctic Told in Ex-
plorer's Diary.

London-The story of how five he
roes died is told in excerpts from the
diary of Capt. Robert F. Scott, writ
ten as death came from exposure and
hunger in an Antarctic blizzard. The
farewell message was found with the
bodies of the heroes and bits of it
were signaled from the Terra Nova,
the masterless ship, as it passed Ca
maru, New Zealand. The closing
words of Captain Scott's epic were:
Had we lived L should have had
a tale to tell of the hardihood, the en-
durance and the courage of my COM
panions which would have stirred the
heart of every Englishman. These
rough notes and our dead bodies must
tell the tale. But surely, surely a
great and rich country like ours will
see that those who are dependent
upon us are properly provided for.
Il do not regret this journey
which has shown that Englishmen
can endure hardships, help one an
other, and meet death with as great
fortitude as ever in the past

to find proofs that Amundsen had
forestalled them, comes in brief dis
patch from Lieut. f r. G. r. Evans,
of the Royal navy, who was second
in command, when the expedition
started.
The message was signaled from the
Terra Nova, returning from the Ant
arctic regions, while passing Oamaru,
New Zealand. IS
The staggering effects of the news
on the public mind is all the greater
as it was believed that modern science
and recent experience had completely
Invested polar exploration of its for
mer terrors. No great surprise would
have been felt had. Captain Scott
failed to reach the pole, but that he
should perish in his hour of triumph
was the very last thing that could be
anticipated.
Found Bodies in Tent.
1t seems practically certain that
the explorers starved to death. DR..
Enrich Marshall, who was surgeon to
the Shackelton expedition, suggests
that the Scott party in the terrible
blizzard may have missed one of its
supply depots, which are generally
marked by an up-turned sledge with
a flag dashed to it.
Further information reaching the
Royal Geographical Society says that
the rescue party, which left Cape
Evans late in October, reached One

in coed order. The party proceeded
along the southern route and came
upon SCOTS tent on November II.

Artillery played the chief part in the
days fighting, but rifle fire was kept
up continuously, though more or less
ineffectively. President Madero and
his ministers expressed satisfaction
with the days work and ventured the
opinion that another day would see
the overpowering of the enemy.
Diaz Still Defiant.
Gen Felix Diaz in his arsenal strong
hold appeared as defiant as at any
time since he was released from
prison by the mutinous soldiers, and
promises a repetition of the terrific
bombardment, the fierceness of which
is attested by the many partly de-
stroyed structures within a radius of
half a mile.
The greatest loss of life resulted in
a charge of rurales, who with dar-
ing amounting to foolhardiness, moved
against a rebel battery, which moved
down men and horses almost to eX-
tinction.

Diaz Saved His Fire.
Early in the action General Diaz
saw to it that his men held their fire
until the quantity of ammunition both
for the big and the light arms used
by the federals was far greater than
by the rebels.

eventually silenced by the rebels, but

MEANING OF BETTER CROPS.

When more than 500 Ohio boys un-
der sixteen years of age, each Gull
tivating one acre of corn, produce an
average of So bushels of shelled corn
to the acre. it is Impossible not to
perceive the vast opportunity which
exists for enlarging staple crops with
out increasing the acreage of land un-
der cultivation. That is, of course,
If it is understood that the present
yield of corn in Ohio averages about
35 bushels to the acre An increase
of $50 per cent. in the average pro-
ductiveness of Ohio cornfields would
mean an enormous addition to the
wealth of the state every year. Even
If 1t is admitted that the acres chosen
by these 500 young corn growers
were selected for the special fertil-
ity of their soil, and if it is grant
ed that the boys put more work upon
their crops than ordinary commercial
conditions would Justify, still it is
clear that an increase of so per cent,
probably of 100 per cent, in the yield
of Ohio corn fields is not only possible.
but would be commercially profitable,
says the Cleveland Leader. Such a
rate of gain in the average yield of
corn might be duplicated, not in bush
els, but in rate per cent. of increase.
in growing wheat, oats, potatoes, hay
and other standard crops. Like pos
sibilities of improvement exist in rails
ing live stock, and poultry and in
dairy farming. Such object lessons as
the annual contest among boys for
prize per acre crops must surely
prove one of the efficient means of
raising the standard of agriculture in
Ohio and making the farm lands of
the state more productive.
