ORGANIZED BALL
MAY MOVE INTO
FED TERRITORY

CHICAGO, Jan. Is Take squint
at the buried ace in the hands of or
ganized baseball
The Federal League is to have a
club on thc North Side. with Joe
Tinker at the head All right Or
ganized baseball sits back and
watches developments. II the third
league is frost, there is a loud guf-
faw. Everybody says he knew it
and few real stars wonder how in
the world they arc going to break
in TO the organized game
But if it is go from the start,
then watch organized baseball. The
residents Of the North Side wake up
sine fine morning and discover that
they have two clubs IN their vicinity
where they had but one. The Fed
eral is still there. But organized
baseball has thrown another club into
the territory.
Get the idea? If the North Side
club begins TO cost the Sox and the
Cubs too much money, the Fcderals
will have competition right at their
door And you can wager that the
opposition will be the kind that Will
hurt, too. Said opposition will be
represented by a ball club that con-
tains some stars, and Strong enough
TO give the third league club run
for its life.
II may be a loser But organized
baseball will be called upon to pocket
the loss. And when that is prorated
il won't amount TO so much at that.
The scheme is under consideration.
Even the league whicn Will produce
the team has been discussed. It's
gone further than that. and the team
in the league has been considered.
More than that, baseball men have an
idea that Gunther Park couid he Sc
cured as a site for the tight.
II may be the Minneapolis club
which will be brought into this vi
cinity to give battle TO Unc Fcderals,
or it may be the ST. Paul team Both
arc Of tue American Association.
Here is the scheme. Supposing that
the Federal is a go from the start aud
Il becomes evident that the ta.rd team
is going 10 cut into the American and
National League clubs. There's a
meeting of men in organized base
ball. one Of these teams is selected to
MAKE the fight with the consent OF
the owner. OF course.
He shows what he did n a financial
way with his team the previous year
Then he is instructed TO go along
throw his team into the North Side
and if there is q deficit it viii come
from the war fund. He'll be guaran-
teed against any possible loss and
will be assured of earning Just as
much as if he remained IN mis- own
, territory
/ on top OF that. he Will be given
( ball team that will put up the brand
OF baseball that the third league does
/ The practical baseball man knows
{ that the fan does not care a great
deal what the color Of the uniforms
are or to what league the club be-
longs to as long as the baseball is
on display
That's the ace in tho hole. and the
men in organized baseball believe
that a second club on the North Side
would draw sufficiently o. make the
Federals bad investment.
In which event they would be we'll
satisfied even if they wcrc compelled
TO dig into their pockets and make
up a loss for their own team

30 people and $50 rats to the square
mile in the United States. Anoth-
er contributor describes as follows
how TO bell rats:
Procure a dozen little toy bells
used for children's play lines,
a spool OF wire, and any trap to
catch them alive. Bait the trap, and
catch as many as you can and let
them get really hungry. Then empty
the rats into a barrel or box from
which they cannot escape.
"Put on a heavy leather glove.
reach in. grab a rat by the back,
and with wire fasten the bell on

Do the same with all you have

WAR ADDS A BILLION DOLLARS
TO THE VALUE OF OUR CROPS

The following statement as TO the
effect OF the war on the value OF
American crops is taken from the
current issue OF Farm and Fire
side:
There can be no doubt that this
years rise in prices on account OF
the war will be no less than a bill
lion dollars.
Cotton growers and apple
growers have been losers thus
far. The former may yet be
delivered from their difficulties,
for cotton will keep IL financial
and housing arrangements are made
for its holding. Apples, too, will
keep, but they require storage,
which cannot be supplied for the
occasion-and the apple harvest is
brief.
ION the whole, however, the
American farmer stands TO win
enormously by the insanity OF our
brethren in Europe. To be sure,
the billion dollars is not clear again.
II will be realized only on our sur
plus.
THE man who feeds grain that
is worth seventy-flve cents bushel
is not jubilant on account Of the
price. He can. however, study the
balanced ration, sell the dear grains,
and buy the cheaper feeds, IL such
there are, economic on all feed
stuffs, use his brains, and make his
surplus larger.
while the war prices last is
time TO pay debts and accumulate
for the slump which is likely to
come when the war is over"

HUMAN HEALTH AND F00T-AND-

PHOID FEVER

The anxiety that has been ex-
pressed in several quarters in re-
gard TO the effect upon human health
OF the present outbreak Of the foot
and-mouth disease is regarded by
government authorities as some
what exaggerated. The most com
mon fear is that the milk supply
might become contaminated. Milk
from infected farms is not permitted

to use the cows milk when she's not
well.
The danger Of typhoid fever
through the milk and water supply
is more 10 be dreaded than the foot
and-mouth disease through the
milk. Milk is infected with the ty-
phoid germ when infected water is
used TO dilute il, or when the pals
and cans are washed with such wat

gather corn and save much OF the
fodder. Now is the time 10 take
advantage OF the damp fodder and
get IL all in or TO central point
where you expect to feed IL. II Is
much better, my dear farmers, TO do
all the feeding inside so as TO save
the manure. The manure is the
best fertilizer you can use on your
farms.
| am glad 10 rejoice with my
farmer friends for the past season,
which brought TO us such great
crops. The government reports, es-
innate the wheat crop at sS3i,O0O,-

REMEMBER THIS ON WASH DAY

The following practical sugges-
ton for wash day is taken from an
article on the subject in the cur
rent issue of Farm and Fireside:
For fruit stains on table linen
or other white goods, boiling water
is the best and safest remedy.
Stretch the stained portion, before
il is wet, over a pan or pail, and
pour boiling water through il until
the stain disappears. II will not
take long, but the water must be
actually boiling when il is taken
from the fire.
