Roger Bresnahan has settled
his salary squabble with the ST.,

ably sign for next season within
a few days. He will go to either
the Cubs or Pittsburgh, notwith-

are not known, but it is believed
he was given $4,000 to tear up
his four year contract with St.

Joe Tinker will leave for Kan
sas City next week in an effort to
persuade John Killing to recon

Progress1ves TO Advise.

Gov. Wilson's address to the New
Jersey electors was brief; but it
was to the point. He said that
only PROGRESSIVES would be
summoned by him as advisers be-
cause they only were in harmony
with the cause to which he is COM
mitted. The President-elect is en-
tirely right-he could not consis-
tently say anything else. He has
a right to assume that the reaction
aries are HONEST and that an
honest reactionary would conscienti-
ously advise AGAINST progressive
measures. Why should he ask adj
vice which he must necessarily re-
ject? Reactionary Democrats who
supported the ticket are eligible to
other important positions, but they
are not available as advisors-The
Commoner.

TO CONFER ON PRICES.
Kent County Farmers and Gamers
to Expected Meet This Week.

Chestertown, Md, Jan. 81
There is a disagreement between
the packers and growers of tomatoes
in this county because of the prices
offered the growers here to grow
tomatoes for next season. Mr.. Rob-
inson, who contracts for the John
Boyle packing house, in Baltimore,
was here yesterday and today, en-
deavoring to secure contracts from
the growers at Is cents per basket,
which is equivalent to $3.50 per
ton. Mr.. Robinson says that this is
the price that has been agreed upon
by the packers for this section, while
another buyer, representing another
large Baltimore packing house, says
that So will be the limit this year.
The farmers are standing pat on
these prices. Last year the contract
prices in Kent and Queen Anne's
counties ranged from $40 to $3.50
per ton, and the farmers say that
owing to the high cost of labor and
the difficulty in securing it, it is
impossible to grow tomatoes for
$3.50 and make a profit. Last year
the growers were compelled to pay
from to 2 1-2c. per basket for
picking the tomatoes, and it would
not be surprising if they are COM
PEELED this season to paw from 3 to
1-2c. No contracts have as yet
been signed In this county land none
are likely to be signed unless the
price is considerably raised.
Public meetings have been called
by the farmers for one afternoon
this week, when it is believed that
the farmers will make definite ar
rangements to call a conference
with the packers and attempt to
reach a satisfactory agreement.

More Bad Weather.

Persons believing that the Ground
Hog made his appearance yesterday
must feel absolutely convinced that
there will be more bad weather this
winter, as this mysterious weather
prognosticator undoubtedly saw his
shadow, which is said to indicate
six weeks more of snow, rain, cold
or otherwise disagreeable weather.
Saturday night many persons
thought that this section of the
country was in the grip of a biz-
zard, and that we would wake up
to find it bitterly cold, with pros
poets of a freeze-up; such ideas
were dissipated yesterday when, as
the day advanced, the weather be-
came warmer, rain beginning to fall
during the night.
There has not in recent years
been known such January as the
month just ended. In Cambridge,
and the county, could be found fruit
trees in full bloom, while roses put
out shoots and were ready to leaf;
and smaller and harder flowers
were in bloom.

OiamOndbaCkS Numerous.

More diamondback terrapin have
been taken from Talbot waters dur
ing the present winter than for
many years. Some local watermen
contend that terrapin are more plen-
tiful than they have been for a
long time on account of the abb
sence of seine-hauling in local wa
tiers. AS is well known, the dia-
mondback terrapin buries himself in
the mud as soon as the first frost
comes in the fall, usually at the
headwater of some river or creek
or in the marshes along the shore,
there to remain until the approach
of warm weather. Many old water
men assert that the terrapin emer-
ged from their muddy beds during
Christmas and, being numbed by
the cold which quickly followed were
unable to regain their winter home.
Because of this they were easily
picked up by the drag Easton
Star-Democrat.

Assurances Unnecessary.
THE ambassador who Is fully in
formed, is, nevertheless, being again
instructed to afford you any desired in
formation. Fresh assurances OF friend
ship to Mexico are unnecessary after
two years of patience and good will.
I'm view of the special friendship and
relations between the countries, I can
not too strongly press upon your excel
lency the vital Importance of peace and
order which this government has so
long hoped to see, both because Ameri-
can citizens and their property must be
protected and respected and also be-
cause this nation sympathizes deeply
with the Affections of the Mexican peo-
pie.
On reciprocating the anxiety shown
by your eXcellency's message, l feel 1t
my duty to add sincerely and without
reserve that the course of events dur
ing the past two years, eliminating in
the present most dangerous situation,
creates in this country extreme pess-
mism, and that the conviction that
the present paramount duty is the
prompt relief of the situation.

BARRETT'S HOME
CONGRESSMAN
LUKEWARM
Friends of the Farmers Union
Head Say He Needs Their
Support for Cabinet.

Those Georgians who have observed
closely the progress of the movement to
place Charles S. Barrett. president Of
the National Farmers union in Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet as secretary of
agriculture, express themselves as en-
tirely satisfied with the condition of
things in the West, the middle West,
the North and the East, but they be-
lieve the Georgia congressional delega-
tion-which is Mr. Barretts home dele
gation-must be more aggressive, as a
whole, if results are to be obtained.
The states of the Pacific slope are
practically solid for Barrett, and sew
eral of them have sent delegations
across the continent to Trenton to urge
before Mr.. Wilson in person Mr.. Bar
rett's fitness for the position.
In Illinois, in Colorado, in Indiana
and in Pennsylvania the Barrett move
ment overshadows all others The
farmers everywhere are solid for him
and the farmers believe this portfolio
should be awarded to one Of their ranks.
Georeians Not Active.
Curiously enough, however, the
Georgia delegation in congress is not
as active, SO reports from Washington
say, in Barrett's behalf as a great many
of his Georgia friends believe 1t should
be.
A big majority rof the delegation is
outspokenly for Barrett, and is commit
ted to his cause both by written and
verbal Endorsement to Mr. Wilson. One
or two members of the delegation, new
ertheless, appear to be hanging fire, and
Barrett's friends are beginning to ask
why.
Those backing Barrett believe sin
cerely that all he needs to land in the
cabinet now is the united and enthusi-
astic support of his own state delega-
ton in congress. If that is given him
cordially and without bubble, the prob

AIM Of LEAGUE

To impress upon individuals the impor-
lance Of being watchful while in the
streets, and to reduce the possibility of
accidents through automobiles, street cars
and other vehicles, movement to or
ganlZe public safety league with $4,000
active members, including all the school
children in Atlanta, has been started by
officials of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company.
Under present plans the league Is to
nave officers and lecturers, an official but
ton bearing an emblem of the league's
aims and purposes, moving pictures
showing how accidents take place and
now they may be avoided, and other vivid
methods of educating the public on this
important subject. The lecturers will visit
the classes in the public schools, address
the public probably in mass meetings in
the Auditorium Armory and seek in other
practical ways to further the object of the
league.
Besides the school children, automobile
owners, street car motormen and CON
ductors, and vehicle drivers of all classes
Will be asked to enroll as members of the
league
AS soon as the league is sufficiently
we'll organized, cooperation will be sought
with the public safety committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, so that the COM
mlttee's suggestions to the public may be
spread throughout the city under organ
