Declares Foreigners
Should Be Educated
BY Associatcd Press

Washington, Jan. 27.-The United
States can neglect the education of
immigrant population only to their
peril, in the opinion of DR.. III. P.
Claxton, federal commissioner of edu-
cation. In an official statement issued
day he asserts that the proper edu-
cation of these people is a duty which
the nation owes to itself and to them.
DR.. Claxton reviews the whole prob
lem of education for immigrants and
says that the least illiterate of the ma
tion's population are the native born
children of foreign parents. The ILL
teracy among the children of native
born parents, he declares, is three
times as great as that among native
born children Of foreign born parents.

No Hairy Growths
After This Treatment
(Beauty Notes)

After much experimenting it has
been found that delatone is as effective
for removing hairy growths as the
electric needle. And the argument in
favor of the new method Is that it is
inexpensive, painless and takes little
time. Here is the treatment: With
powdered delatone and water mix
enough paste to cover the lndesira BILE
hairs, apply and after 2 or 3 minutes
rub off and with 1t comes every trace
of hair. The skin should then be
washed to remove the remaining della

seven years ago.
SHERMAN LETTS-It won't take long to
tell what think of the past year in the real estate
business. My firm turned over 100000 worth of
property 1913, double the amount the previous year.
and by far the greatest in the history of the firm
tablshed eight years ago.
J. H. McFADDEN-IoI3 has been big year for
and demands in all lines have been steady and
good. Every week finds some people from out of
town nquiring for houses. Medium priced homes
chiefly in demand along with good flats.
KNAPP, BARNES & COMPANY-Our bust
ness was better last year than in any year have
been in business and we look forward to prosperous
year this year.
JOHNSON & SHEPHERD-Busines measured
by the aggregate of sales for the year 1913 reveals
increase of least IS per the total of
year ago.
STOKBURGER & EASTMAN-More legitimate
sales of real estate made in this city in the year
lust closed than ever before in the history of the city,

CHARLES E. JACKSON, secretary of the local
real estate board and of the most prominent agents
in the city, has much the view Of the conditions.

DEUEL. & O'SHAY-Our business showed an
increase of from twenty five to thirty cent increase
over 1912 and anticipate even larger increase
this year.
Here is one explanation how Rockford had the
lowest tax of any city of its class in the state
last year. With saloons abolished money
available for legitimate purposes Much of this money
went into the building of new homes. The more dwell
ing houses that built, the taxable property
and lower tax rate is the natural result

HARMONY TO PREVAIL TN CITY ASSOCIATION
UMPIRE RESERVE:
 AN INTERNAL. AFT AR
National Commission Issues Important Ruling on the
 Umpire Problem

Cincinnati. March Holding that the reservation by umpires by minor pase- ball leagues is an internal affair of the National association and not effective al regards the major leagues, the national baseball commission today recommended that Empires George J. Johnson and A. J. Cleary of the New York state league be permitted to advance to a higher league for a consideration of their re- leases, to be agreed upon by the president of the New York State league and the president of the league desiring their services. In case these parties cannot agree, the chairman of the commission agrees to act as arbitrator. The two umpires named contended that, as a re- suit of the reservation by the New York State league for 1914, they were unable to accept offers from leagues of higher classifications at higher salaries. The minor leagues insist that the developmen mt of an umpire requires two or more ex- perimental seasons and the league which gives him this training is entitled to finan- cial return when he becomes expert enough to gain promotion.

In talking of it yesterday Grimes stated that it was only by good luck he escaped with his life. lie was driv- ing over q new road near his home at Clear Lake, Wis. with sled load of logs, when the runners of the sled hit d stump in the road The jar broke the chains that were fastened around the logs. and they rolled down on top of him, Killing one horse and pinning him on the ground. Had one or two logs shifted a particle, l would have been crushed" said Grimes.
 
 Foxen's place on the hurling corps is being largely sought this spring. Three southpaws Curley Brown, Paul Fittery and Murphy, are contesting for his vacancy. Brown is holding the upper hand in the fight, but Fittery may be depended upon to make things interesting for the former Billken Fittery failed to make good last spring and should he prove incapable to deliv- ering class A brand of ball again this year, then Moley will cast him adrift without strings.
 | The appearance of Fred Dilger ir practice Friday morning began the fight for backstopping honors between he Tragresser and Wallace. only two of this trio will be retained by Moley and from now on each of them will be on the alert to gain favor with the Baron leader. Wagner, the Chicago semi-p i-professional recommended by Will fam A. Phelon, does not possess any class ability whatever and is no factor in the fight
 Ted Sloan. the little right handler re- , called from Evansville. is slightly un- der the weather Since his first work out at Rickwood several days ago Sloan has been feeling bad and Friday and Saturday was unable to do heavy work.

Chicago, March 14.-Baseball play CTS who deserted organized ball to join the Eederals will be taken care of. even it they fail to win berths with the Federal teams.

He confirmed the re- port that two minor outlaw leagues would be formed next year to provide Federal farms"
 What will become of the players not strong enough to get regular jobs on your teams?" he was asked.
 Every man who quit organized ball. from major or minor league. will be taken care of,' said Gilmore. "Of course. there are lot of youngster, who never played in organized ball whose training experience with us will not hart them. These will be free to get places anywhere
 Next year We will have at least two minor leagues working in con junction wiht us. If we are in or- ganized ball then they will be: if not. they will te outlaws as we are called now"

PERTINENT GOSSIP OF THE
 BARONS AND THEIR AFFAIRS
Fly ASA RoUNTREE, JR.

Scarcity of infield talent is seriously handicapping Manager Molesworth of the Barons, in whipping his proteges into shape for the regular exhibition series, which will begin toward the lat ter part of this week.
 only three infeld candidates, First Baseman Mills, Second Baseman Clarke and Shortstop Ellam, have reported and of these only Ellam is a veteran. The failure of Marcan and McDonald to stroll in is causing Moley considerable worry, for until they report he cannot begin teaching his players teamwork.
 Four players are yet to put in their appearance and of these four are in- ielders The infield candidates absent are Third Baseman Mcdonald, Shortstop Edwards and Third Baseman Carroll, while Ponder, a pitcher, last year with Dallas in the Texas league, is the fourth man who has not shown up.
 The Baron management has heard nothing from either Mcdonald or Ed wards for sometime, and is at loss to know why this duo is,so dilatory in re- porting. President Baugh has written several times to Edwards, but up to lDlS tlilG uOlHlllS HdS Dtcfl HtdIu lTOIH him.
 Carroll is not expected for several days, as he is suffering from an in jured foot. which has incapacitated him from active service. Ponder will not report until the early part of June.
 With Burleigh Crimes Curley Brown. Dick Robertson, Frank Gregory and Omar Hargrove forming the first corp and Fittery, Sloan Harben and John son composing the secondary one, the Baron chieftain seems well supplied with dependable pitchers. Besides these Molesworth also has Nolan and Mur- phy two semi professional pitchers, who although too y1lng and ineX- pericnced for class A company, will make some team in either class B or C valuable players.
 The kindness of fate this past winter saved for the Barons one of their most reliable new hurlers-Burleigh Grimes, who was secured from the Lookous by waivers. During the early part of Feb ruary word waited scuthward that Grimes had injured his arm in log ging accident, but no particulars as to how 1t happened were avilable
