Charles kaucher, Of Cincinnati is a
Third Baseman Whom Boyle
Says Is the Greatest
Ever.

MUSCATINE, Iowa, Feb. 13.-With
exactly thirty-two players on his
string, Manager Frank Boyle stated
that he would pull the mythical skein
taut within the next two weeks and
thereby drop about a dozen athletes.
Twenty players will be ordered to
report here on April Z, including six
outielders, four infelders, three catch
ers and seven or eight pitchers. Boyle
refused to state who the PLAYERS will
be who will be instructed to show up
for the spring training grind but in
timated that at least two infeld posi-
tons had already been virtually de-
cided in his mind. He referred to
Masters at shortstop, and Danny Har-
rell. the sensation of the Blue Grass
league last year who batted .401 with

by the N1usky leader as likely sue

pitcher who twirled for the New
ION, Iowa, independent club last year,
are the latest recruits to attach their
signature to Muscatine contract.
The contract Of Kaucher was receiv-
ed this morning.
According to Boyle, Kaucher is one
of the greatest indoor baseball play
ers in the country. He has clippings
of Cincinnati papers showing that the
new Musky athlete is leading such
sterling players as Bob Bescher, prob.
ably the greatest base stealer in the
National league. Lee Magee and 9TH
ers. He is by far the fastest man on
his feet playing the indoor game in
Cincy, it is said.

INSTITUTE
Sussex Farmers Get AGriCul-
turaI Tips From Many
Experts
ATTENDANCE GOES
BEYOND EXPECTATION

GEORGETOWN, Del, Jan 31.-
Sussex county farmers are intensely
interested in the State Farmers lnsti-
tutes that are being held at present
And the attendance at the meetings
that have been held so far has ex-
ceeded all expectations. Both Wes-
ley Webb, Secretary Of the State
Board of Agriculture, and Professor
Harry Hayward. director Of the State
College of Agriculture, have express
ed themselves as satisfied that Sussex
county will hereafter take the rank
in the agricultural world to which it
is rightly entitled
The institutes are being attended by
quiet and intelligent crowds, and the
many questions which are asked at
the lectures show that a deep interest
is being taken.
THE best lecturers that have ever
appeared in Delaware are conducting
the Institutes this year, the most pop
ular subject Of course, being "Poul-
try" which is handled by j. Harry
Wokseifer. of Vineland, n. j. who is
an expert and editor of one of the best
known poultry departments in the
East. Professors Hayward, McCue
and Grantham are from the State Col
lege, while f. r. Hipwell, from the
grape section Of New York, Is arous-
ing interest in the culture Of grapes
He declares that Delaware soil and
climate are ideal for growing grapes
and that it should become the great
est grape section in the United States.
J. Frank Rice, Of FELTON,, is the lee
turer on tomatoes and Miss Burnite
has been instructing the women in do
nestle science and fruit canning at
home. Elmer Roberts. a successful
fruit and truck grower of Moorestown,

DOCTORS WILL
WORK FOR CITY
LABORATORY NOW

II is not likely that the present
General Assembly viii be asked TO
pass legislation changing the location
of the State Laboratory. Those who
are urging that r laboratory be equips
ped in Wilmington have decided to
wait until the next city budget is
made up. and then ask City Council
10 provide for a city laboratory. With
that end in view, a committee of ply
sicians. including Or. F. W. Tomlin-
sou, Dr. H. w Briggs and DR.. Y. ID.
Washburn last night had a brief con-
ference with members Of Council rela-
tive to the laboratory project II has
practically been determined by all
concerned that the combination of a
city and state laboratory the state
laboratory to be transferred from
Newark to this city for the purpose,
would be undesirable and impractic-
able for many obvious reasons. It
seems TO be the general opinion that
the rural and state residents are en-
titled to have the state laboratory at
Newark if they so desire, which
Mayor Howell has advocated, and that
tho city is big enough to have its own
laboratory.
If the city secures new municipai
building the laboratory could be To-
Gated there II Will require be-
tween S250O and $4,000 to properly
equip such room and about $4,000
year for maintenance Il is claim
ed, however, that the latter cost could
be overcome by charging for work
done there for individuals

THE COTTON FARE
 QUESTION AGAIN
FARMEaB SHOULD HAVE BENE.
 .FIT OF ysRUIL : PER CENT OR 5, { gEMFBAsIS EEsTARLIsHED
LDsss Is the Same It Matters No Y Where the Farmer Sells 10 The Mill Man

|. While our cotton farmers are dis cussing great economic questions 1t
 might pay them to take snapshot
 at a few of the little ones and not the least of these is what is known as cotton tare Or waste-or to put it more plainly, the amount that is de- ducted for bagging and ties.
 Now in order to- explain this mat ter so it can be fully understood we will say that when the exchange of the world set the price of cotton ev- cry day, it is set less per cent or 30 pounds to a. 50O-pound bale. 24 pounds to 40O-pound bale and so on. This amount is excessive and causes loss to the cotton farmers of the South of many millions of dollars annually.
 There is no particular reason why the exchanges should deduct 6 per cent from the price of the farmers cotton, as it is not necessary to put on this amount to protect it from damage; 1-2 per cent will be found to be sufficient covering after the cotton is compressed. But if the spinners of Europe insist that the full per cent shall be put on, then the farmer and not the exporter ought to be the one to put it on, for if he (the farmer) does not, then he loses the difference between what he does put on and the full 6 per cent. This amount is usually from z 1-2 to 10 pounds per bale or net loss of 75c to $1 on every bale of cotton raised in the South, or say from $12,- 5O0,OOO to $15, 5,000,0O0 per year, quot ing cotton at present prices.
 r Now it does not make any diff ference whether the farmer sells to the mill men or spectators at home or abroad, his loss is equally the same, as each buy by the same emas- culated price.
 There are two ways in which this matter can be adjusted:
 CD The farmer can insist that he be allowed to put on the full per cent tare. This, however. will be

STAGE ILLUSIONS.
Not tho Least of These Arc the eaN
 quets on the Uoards.

No. the Least of These Are the Ban
 quets on the uoards. #. Nothing is SD deceptive as the stage f meal, although the art of the property man makes such repasts appear de. liciously nppetizing
 A favorite stage substitute for meat Is sponge cake, which cut into the shape of outlets or steaks and judi ciously Drowned with sauce, presents . most genuine appearance. The ad vantage of such material is that 1t M easy for the. actors to consume and does not present any difficulties to the carver.
 Outlets composed of s1t toast are also popular in stage culinary circles, and when decorated with dainty paper frills and parsley look quite the real thing. .
 Do not let your mouth water at the sight of those dainty slices of ham re. festive board. Ham is invariably rep. resented on the stage by strips of lino- leum, the reddish under side of which makes convincing substitute for the real article. AS to the surrounding let tuce, that is generally represented by white leaves from the humble cab bage
 The larger and more impressive the stage edible. the greater the fake. Huge pies which when cut produce cloud of realistic steam are absolutely uneat- able. The crust is merely colored pa. pier mache. which incloses dish of hot water and sometimes few boiled potatoes. which supply the necessary steam. The big sirloin of beef, which apparently weighs pounds, has about six ounces of eatable meat about 1t. The joint is wooden affair, over which few thin slices of genuine beef gre placed. giving the impression of really fine piece of meat.
 Were you to obtain peep behind the scenes just before banquet scene was b be staged you would find number of stage hands busily slicing up toma- toes and bananas. You would see those srices being laid out on plates sur rounded with parsley or white cabbage leaves. Under the glare of the lime h9ht this dish assumes an astonishing resemblance to lobster salad. and in hmilar fashion sliced banana is a gen. sral substitute for fish, entrees and hors d'oeuvre.
 Ono of the most astonishing illusions with regard to stage food. however, is where soup Is concerned. This Is in- variably sawdust, which when ladled cut of q tureen has all the appearance q . thick liquid.
 No banquet would be complete with out turkey. A loaf of bread delicately bsownsd and decorated with pegs cov- ersd with browned dough, saves the 0anagemsnt the expense of running up . poultry bill. Moreover, the come dlans con with comparative safety ding th1s asset to tho feast about the stage without damage to life OF prop Rfv.-philadelDhia Ledger.
