!. N. {. A. ATHLETICS
Gratiot County Association To Or
ganize Base Ball Mines

The Athletic Committee Of the Coun-
ty Young Mems Christian Association
are making plans for a new form of
athletic activity as far as this Assoca-
ton is concerned. There has for some
time been demand for a boys baseball
league. Such league is rapidly being
formed.
The plan in brief will be for an eight
club circuit to include towns in which
the Association is organized or where
the work will be soon started. The
league will be divided into two circuits
of four clubs each. Riverdale, Alma
St. Louis and Breckenridge will form
the north circuit and Ithaca and Middle
ton together with two towns selected
from Bannister, Ashley, Pompeii or
North Star will form the other. Each
club will play six games and then there
will be series between the leaders of
both circuits.
The travelling expense will be pooled
so that each club will have the same ex-
penses. All meals will be furnished Wis
iting players by the home team. Ithaca,
Alma and St. Louis will select their
players from their school district and
the other towns will be allowed to draw
from territory six miles in diameter of
which the town shall be the center.
Each team will be under a competent
manager who will be responsible for the
makeup of the team and for the conduct
of the players. The following men have
been selected as manager: Alma, Karl
Adams; Ithaca, Sandy Duncanson
Breckenridge, Earl Grethrie and Fred
Zubler; Middleton, Mr.. Martin, assist
ant cashier of bank; Riverdale, prob
ably A. w. Baker; St. Louis, not set
| tied.
The first games will be played late in
June. Each team will then play one
game per week. Ten cents admission
will be charged with three-game ticket
for twenty-five cents. Booster tickets
for the three games will be sold at fifty
cents. Officers of the league have not
been elected, except that +. X. Baylis
will act as secretary. The "Ty Cobb
sporting goods have offered a cup or
pennant for the winners provided their
ball be used. The offer will be acted on
later.
A tentative summary of rules follows
l. All players must be sixteen OF
younger. Penalty for violation provid-
ed
2 All players must abstain from the
use of tobacco in any form for at least
IS days prior to game in which they take
part. Penalty for violation provided.
3. No player shall receive directly OF
indirectly any pay or material benefit fol-
playing. Penalty for violation provided
4. The school census shall be used &c
determine the residence and age OF Z
player.
5. Games shall be played according tc
Spaulding's Guide, except as otherwise
agreed upon.
O. Profanity, loud boisterous talk, and
kicking on decisions shall be prohibited
on the ball field
7. Umpires shall be selected by the
two managers in charge of the game OF
by league officers.
| 8. In pooling expenses of team, pro.
visions shall be made for twelve play.

Rebuilding Elevator.

When the additions and altera-
tons to its huge grain elevator at
Kansas City now under way are
completed, the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain Railroad will have
one OF the largest plants oil It's
kind in the world. As originally
constructed, the elevator consisted
OF ten concrete circular storage
tanks, with a capacity OF so, 900
bushels each, or 100000 bushels
in all, and the elevator building
proper, with a capacity OF 400, 900
bushels, a total plant capacity OF
1000, 600 bushels. Forty add
tlonal concrete CIRCULAR storage
bins, n feet in diameter and 81
feet deep, with a capacity OF as
600 bushels each or 10000
bushels all told, are under con,
struction, besides 10 smaller bins,
with a capacity of 1000 bushels
each or $4,000 bushels total.
The latter are what are known
as lnterstice" storage bins, and
they viii occupy the space form.
erly LETT vacant between the circu.
lar bins OF this style OF elevator,
The elevator will have a total OF
90 units OF storage space, with a
capacity OF 2,I33,ooo bushels,
which is more than double its
present capacity. Two hundred
men have been kept al work on
the plant, night and day, tor the
past two months. 1t is expected
that the improvements will be
completed and the elevator in OPP

Mayor F. d. Majors said that
last year was their first experience

nearly a mile of streets; that this
year the cost was S24o. 90. That
it proves as beneficial in the WIN
ter as in summer, as 1t prevents

that if the streets are graded prop
erly at the time the oil is distrlbu-

there Will be very little If any

much value to the farmers of Ark

much value to the farmers OF Ark
ansas.
This method was originated
by an old negro on the property OF
Col. +. l.. Maxwell at Mounds
and is merely a practical method
of catching the boil weevil," said
Mr.. Carpenter. The collecting
is done by means of a sack, which
is sewed on a barrel hoop, the
size of the hoop depending upon
the size of the cotton plant.
The end of the sack, which is
held open by the hoop is placed
on the ground near the cotton
stalk, which is bent over the open
ing and given a vigorous shake,
thus throwing the boil weevil and
punctured squares into the sack.
The sack is then lifted and the
weevil shaken into the bottom.
BY using this sack practical
farmers have found that they a
perform the necessary work OF
gathering weevils and punctured
squares in less than half the time
required in the usual method OF
Manipulating the plants. 1t IS
usually best for the planter o I
farmer to have a hand follow the
person with the sack in order that
all the squares which have fallen
on the ground may be picked up
and destroyed, as It is probable
that those squares which have
fallen previous to the time the
sack is used will mature young
weeVils.
After the squares and weevlls
are gathered in this way they are
DESTROYED by burning with ire or
stacking lime, or by being sub
merged into hot water or water
covered with coal oil"
Mr.. Carpenter says that this
plan has been reported to the
United States Department OF Ag-
riculture by Colonel Maxwell and
that the department Is now issu-
ing circulars describing the
method. He says that C.. w.
Watson, state agent OF the United
States Department OF Agriculture,
has asked the Department OF Ag-
~rieulture tor circulars IN order
that they may be placed in the
hands OF farmers in those sections
of Arkansas where the boil weevll
Is doing damage.

What Oil Does In Other Places.

During a visit to the thriving
town of DanvIlle this week we saw
to our amazement the benefit OF
the use of oil on streets. Auto
mobile, horses or wind could not
raise a dust. The town seems to
have on its Sunday dress every
day, the counters in the stores
are free from mussy dirt and ev-
rything has a neat, clean appear

ness men we found that thew were
all loud in their praise of oiled
streets and said that for no reas.

esting and instructive campaign
document in behalf OF Act No.

voted on in September by the peo-
Pile. 1t shows how waste of pub
lie funds through extravaganza,

stopped by the new law; how taxes
will be equalized, good govern

civic pride and patriotism will be
fostered by the publicity law
which is founded upon the princi-

Know" These books are for
those who take intelligent interest
