Sam H. Harris, Of the theatrical
firm Of Cohan & Harris, Sol Bloom, OF
a music publishing firm, and George
Kleine, producer of "Quo Vadis," are
associated in an enterprise which will
result in the erection of a moving pic
ture house in New York city to cost
$375, 900.
Under water pictures are the latest
ideas Of the moving picture manufac-
turers. A tube has been invented
which will hold three men at almost
any depth under water for several
hours, and while bait is suspended
outside the tube to attract the fish,
photographs are taken from the in
terror through plates Of glass. The
scheme is said to be a great success.

It will be interesting to watch the
local theatres solution of What to
play on their new pipe organ, which
will be installed next week. Will
waltzes and (so-called) popular music
"go", or will it be necessary to con-
fine the music to the heavier operate
music, which has not been heard so
far, here, except to small degree. It
is known, or at least generally sup
posed that the pipe organ is not cap
able of the facile handling of the light
er music as, for instance, the piano,
and results in the local house will be
watched with interest.
The talking pictures appear to be a
failure. Those from Valley City who
have seen them, say that the phono-
graph used in connection deadens the
eeffct of the actors work, imparts a
metallic like quality, and removes the
vitality, and sympathetic side of the
plot.
It is suggested that there are GER
tain types of pictures and film char
acters which might we'll be removed
from the picture world. A closed sea-
son for the following overworked and
senseless types might safely be de-
clared for several years:

Threshing in Barnes county is near.
ing an end, and the results are graft
flying to farmers in general. There is
perhaps some question as to whether
the crops are quite as large as year
ago, but there are compensations
which will fully make up any def
cheney. In the first place, the weather
has been far better than a year ago.
In 1912, farmers had the expense OF
crews on their hands for several
weeks during rainy weather, when lit
tie or no threshing was done, at one
time there being a three weeks
stretch of no work. Again, farm help
this year is much cheaper than for a
number of years. A year ago thresh-
ers were paid from three to four dol
lars a day, the latter sum being paid
to majority of the men. This year
the average wage is $3.50, and there is
plenty of help to be had at that figure.
This one feature alone makes differ
ence of many thousands Of dollars
each year to the farmers Of the state.
On the whole, North Dakota has no
reason to complain of the results of
this seasons farming.

National Commission
Passes Rule Against
Ball Player Writers

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Sept. 25.-Due
to frequent complaints received by the
national baseball commission and the
Baseball Writer'S ASSOCIATION concern
ing articles alleged to have been writ
ten by ball players. the national com
mission yesterday handed down a ru-
ing in which it orders that no players
eligible to compete in the worlds series
or any series shall write or pretend
to write an account Of such series for
any newspapers. nor shall any player
allow the use OF his name over an ar
ticle purporting 10 be written by him.
Violation Of this order will result in
the infection Of such penalty as the
commission may determine.
The Baseball Writer'S Association Of
America had recently solicited the CO.
operation Of the commission in pre-
venting ball players from invading their
field. In the communication TO the ma
tional commission. President Jackson.
Of the writer's association. declared:
owing to this evil we, the news
paper men, are forced to do something
to protect ourselves against a growing
evil that threatens baseball reporters
in a pecuniary way. 1t also is making
the reports OF world series ridiculous
and must, in a way hurt the series
itself eventually; and it further belit-
ties in the minds Of the public the
trained baseball writer, who labors all
the year around as competent critic,
70 De subordinated to a novice in the
one biggest week OF the baseball year.
The commission will have the support
and cooperation Of this association in
any move II may make 20 eradicate the
evil that has been discussed"

cOat-tails?
In other words, whats the use %"
What's the use Of nagging the UNI
pire when he won't take your abuse?
What's the use. oh. what's the use?
During the present baseball season,
soon to be the late lamented, Manager
JaWn Evers has been baniShed to the
shower bath so often that in walk
ing out on the diamond he has al
most met himself coming back.
The same is true of Heine thinner
man.
Both Evers tand. Zimmerman are
being paid for playing ball. but on
many and divers occasions they have
been compelled to play the game from
the clubhouse door or from the grand
stand for reasons as many as they
are varied.
l have watched this game of "out
you GO so often that l finally decided
to gently approach both Jawn and
Heine with the timely but delicate
question What's the use?"
Says It's Part of Managers Job.
The Trojan was my first victim
and / nabbed him just before he was
ready to enter a recent game with
the Phillies. He had been talking
with President Murphy and his
classic features We're Vreathed in
smiles Probably had just learned
that he would be on the pay roll next
year
At any rate, those smiles faded
and d frown fitted over his brow when
l shot the question at him: "Jawn,
what's the use of arguing with an
umpire when you know he has it on
you right off the reel?"
Jawn looked at me with sort of
plying expression and said
where do you get that stuff?
What's the good Of carrying a losing
case into court? You know that it's
a loser when you hire the attorney,
but thousands of dollars have been
wasted on hopeless cases lost before
they reach the court.
Il am frank to admit It doesn't pay
to kick about a decision. AS they
say in the bush leagues, An umpire
can't change his decision, but at that
a player can make an umpire feel
pretty cheap when he calls attention
to a bum decision"
Yep, but why kick at all when you
know it's a CinCh it's going to be the
clubhouse for yours and maybe three
days OFF," I persisted.
Jawn then waxed slightly bellig-
erent and replied:
81 consider it a part of my man
agerial duties to protest certain points
of the game. For instance, last Sun
day, I was put out of the game for
throwing a ball over the grandstand
when it had already been declared
out Of play.
Has Kick Coming.
Il was first accused of soiling the
ball when. in fact it had rolled fully
200 feet over grass and dirt before
my hands touched it. Thus, I had a
kick coming right then and there
