Organization. citement at Washing
ton, D. c., took the
form of move to have congress in
vestigate the baseball trust which is
declared the most "autocratic and au-
dacious trust in the world"
There is a baseball trust and 1t Is
a hard and fast concern. No doubt
of that. The question is what would
happen should it be dissolved 1t is
a common opinion that organized
baseball is a splendid thing for the
game in America. Yet it may not be
necessary for the welfare of the sport
to have it organized along present
lines.
For instance in all the large cities
the baseball franchises are in private
hands and the baseball spirit is used
TO coin money for those in control
Some times the "magnates" take too
much and give the public too little
as is the custom with magnates of all
sorts when they get the chance. In
Portland there was bitter criticism of
the management on the opening day
this year because there was but one
trrnstile through which $4,000 peo-
pie had to pass. Furthermore there
was criticism because the insufficient
grandstand had been oversold not
thoughtlessly either. That is what
comes from having baseball under pri-
vate control.
In the smaller leagues such as PEN
dleton is affiliated with the situation
is different. Here it is a community
affair, not a private money maker.
A director would fall dead If he should
be paid dividend. He is fortunate II
he escapes helping pay off deficit at
the end Of the season. 1t is sometimes
a bad arrangement for a director but
it is good arrangement for the pub
lie because whatever benefit there is
from baseball the public gets it.
Baseball should be conducted on
community basis everywhere and not
for private gain. If it were that way
there would be better sport, the crowds
would be accomm odated better and
there would be more money for the
players because none would go to fat
franchise holders.
When the women Of this country
agree with substantial unanimity that
they want suffrage
Does Not Affect why-theyll get It
The Principle. Everybody admits
that. But at pres
ent the suffragists and anti-suffra-
gists are a good way apart.-Chicago
Inter Ocean.
1t is true that when enough women
IN any state want suffrage they will
get It, It has been woman's own in
difference that has delayed the move.
However, the argument that woman
must be united for suffrage before
they are entitled to the privilege is
weak. How many women may want
suffrage does not affect the principle
involved. Some women ana some men

SUBURBS EXPECTED TO
CENTER ON CANDIDATE
BY SYM 4. KENNEDY

That the suburban towns of Greater
Birmingham will combine on a candi-
date to succeed Culpepper Exum as
president of the board of commissioners
Is practically certain.
In all probability this candidate will
be citizen of Ensley. 1t is known
that considerable dissatisfaction exists
against the manner in which the city
government has been administered in
reference to the suburban districts
This sentiment is said to be most
marked in Ensley, North Birmingham
and Avondale. One instance in Ensley
which is pointed to as an example is
the famous missing link" of paving
consisting of about three blocks from
the end of the boulevard at Palmer
Terrace to the paving on Nineteenth
street at Tuxedo junction. Citizens of
Ensley have been at work for more
than a year and a half endeavoring
to have this short connecting link of
immense benefit to traffic and to busi-
ness interests in Ensley.
Among the candidates mentioned
from the western section of the city
the most probable man so far named
is M. II. Mcdowell. former alderman of
the city of Birmingham from the Ems
ley ward.
In an interview with an Age Herald
representative yesterday, Mr.. Mcdowell
said;
Il have been approached by a num-
ber of my friends in regard to the mat
ter but at present am not ready to
make any positive statement as to my
probable action. | will be ready with

excused with apologies.

Weather Crop Bulletin.


For the week ending May q, 1918
. ~ |%" Des Moines, Iowa.
Another unfavorable week has been
added to the record of this belated
season. The average temperature was
about degrees below, and the rainfall
was much in excess Of the normal over
the larger part Of the state. The first
half of the week was especially unfa-
vorable, it being cool, cloudy and wet,
but the latter half was somewhat bet
ter, and gave two days of sunshine.
Farm work was practically at stand
still until Friday, but corn planting
was rushed on Friday and Saturday.
Probably not more than 30 or IS per
cent of the corn has been planted, and
unless drier weather and more favor
able conditions come soon the antici-
pated acreage Of corn will ce materi-
ally reduced. Much of the corn that
is up is yellow, and some of the later
planting is reported to be rotting in
the ground. Light frosts occurred in
many localities on the morning of the
23d, but no damage was done, and the
fruit prospects are still promising.

Agricultural Engineering Z Farm
Tour Consideration.

When the Agricultural Extension
Department Of the Iowa State College
1t Ames began planning tour of
investigation for the month of June, it
was found that farm crops, soils, and
live stock; were not the only things
that needed attention and study. ya
They decided that the homes, build
,;ings, mechanical equipment, and sani-
tation of the average farm ought to
have the attention Of their agricultural
engineer with a view to making the
Iowa farm a. efficiently managed and
operated as possible and more
desirable place in which to live. To
this end the tour which will be in Cres-
co on June 25th, will make a study of
the architecture and arrangement Of
farm buildings; they will pay especial
attention to sanitation, which includes
natural and artificial drainage of the
farmstead water supply and distribu.
ton, and sewage disposal. Modern
convenience for performing all lines of
work on the farm and the ventilation
of buildings will be included in the
study. The farm fence problem will
be taken up and road data as it relates
to the farmers marketing problem
will be taken.
In the evening meeting, a discussion
of points covered in the study will be
invited. Lectures on concrete work,
silo building, the arrangement of the
farmstead, household conveniences,
modern equipment for the farm, road
building and maintenance, and problems
in sanitation may be given. All are
invited to visit the farms with the
committee from the College and to
attend the evening meeting held in
Cresco, Tuesday evening, June oath.
Further information regarding the
nature of the tour can be obtained by
writing direct to the Department of
Agricultural Extension, Ames, or from
D. +. Robertson who has the local
arrangements in hand.
