OFFERS STATE HISTORY
Jewell City Woman Writes Manuscrip
for Text Book Commission.

Jewell City. Dec. 31.-Miss Clara
Sapp. eighth grade teacher in the pub
lie schools of Jewell City, is the first
of Jewell City teachers to submit the
proof Of a text book to the state text
book commission. She has offered the
commission the manuscript of a KAN
sas history. She leads the teachers Of
the big Sixth congressional district in
this effort.
Miss Sapp is being urged to enter
the race for county superintendent of
schools Of Jewell county by her DEM
ocratic friends. No woman has ever
been elected to this position in Jewell
county, although a majority of the
teachers in the county are women and
the county has always favored equal
suffrage.
Miss Sapp has lived in Jewell coun-
ty almost all of her life. She is a
professional teacher and does steno-
graphic work during the summer va
cation periods. The Kansas national
Democratic committeeman, Col. Bill
Sapp, is a relative Of Miss Sapp.

Farmers Near Topeka Against
Raising of Quarantine.
Congress Is Being Asked to
Admit Foreign Potatoes.
THEY ARE AFRAID OF DISEASE
Kaw Valley Farmers Do Not
Want Them Introduced.
Million Dollars Worth Pota-
toes Handled Here in Year.

There is no wonder that potato
growers in the Kaw valley near Tope-
ka are watching with keen interest the
efforts being made at Washington
d. c., to. prevent the importation OF
dred car loads of "spuds" worth a mil
lion dollars and weighing sex enty-five
million pounds are handled right here
in the capital city in year. Althot gh
they are not all grown in the Kaw val
ley, the valley lands supply thousands
of bushels each season. The growers
do not want their crop endangered by
the possible spread of some disease.
1t would take fifty freight trains OF
fifty cars each to carry the potatoes
handled in Topeka. If piled in one
place they would easily fill a bin 400
feet long, 900 feet wide, and 10 feet
high. Now the loss of half a crop
of potatoes in the Kaw valley through
disease ravages would mean much to
Topeka.
Local dealers feel that they have
enough already to contend with in the
way of insect pests, etc. without hav-
ing some strange disease brought here.
Consequently some of them have writ
ten to representatives in congress ask
ing them to use their influence to-
wards keeping out potato diseases
which would invade the United States
II the quarantine against potatoes
grown in certain countries is raised.
Would Bring Down Prices.
Another reason why local growers
wish to claim the protection Of the
quarantine is that prices would be Sc
riously affected if it were raised. This
would possibly be no Objectionable
feature on the part of the buying pub
lie. but it would materially lessen the
proceeds Of the farmers.
Foreign potatoes have been selling
recently in New York at one dollar per
bag of 1853 pounds To meet a price
like that would work a hardship on
the farmers of the Kaw valley, Is their
claim.
Ireland has sent a special rcpresen-
tative to Washington for the purpose
of attempting to have the quarantine
on spuds raised. He has been urging
that the crop in the United States was
hood of a potato famine" The tes-
is that the supply of potatoes still in
the hands of the farmers is large.
1t has been stated that the per CAPT
ia consumption of potatoes IN this
country is three and one-half bushels.
The probable reduction in the price OF
potatoes would be about twenty cents
per bushel in the event of free admis-
sion of the foreign potato crop, it is
claimed. AS the foreign crop is avail
able for about three months CT the
year only this would mean a saving
per capita for the consumers of but
approximately twenty cents. Aside
from this there would be the risk of
introducing dangerous potato diseases.

BETTER BASEBALL.
Struggle Between Federal and Majors
Will Improve Conditions.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-A struggle between tho
Federal League and the major leagues of
organized baseball will result in a general
benefit Of players. owners and spectators,
according to E. B. johnson, president of
the American League, and members of
the National Baseball commission, last
night. johnson said the entrance of the
new league, II properly financed. would
do more to the Improvement of baseball
than anything since the American and
National League revolution.
II court the Federal League opposi-
tion," he said, land I sincerely believe it
will prove one of the best things that ever
has happened for the benefit of organ
lied baseball"
Mr. johnson expressed the belief that
outside opposition would tend to put base
ball on a sOurGer basis.
He said he believed salaries were too
large in many cases and believed the op-
position wuld result in fixing a standard.
Organized ball is due for q reaction as
ing to Johnson, who thinks the big
leagues have operated too elaborately.
