BASEBALL IMPROVES T.. J
.4s STANDARDS OF ARMY

That baseball has been an import.
ant factor in improving the n1orals of
the United States troops is evidenced
in the reports of several army Off.
GERS and especially in the reports
from the Philippines. More men are
actual participants in the game than
in any other branch of sport, and the
soldiers are taking such a i've inter
est In the game that the forms of re.
creation and amusement which have
been detrimental rather than benefit
cial to the men are gradually decreas-
ing. -: u.
The enthusiasm for athletic sports
among the soldiers in the Philippines
has become so prominent that Gen.
Bell has issued an order for the for
nation of an athletic council to regu-
late sports of all kinds and place them
en- purely amateur basis.
The council will consist of one off
Ger from each regiment. There will
also be board of representatives to
assist the council. consisting OF one
non-commissioned officer from the
Coast artillery, the Philippine Scouts.
and the Engineer, Signal, Hospital
and QuaTtermastar Corps.
Army officers are also encouraged
over the fact that wherever the United
States soldiers come in contact with.
the soldiers Of other nations baseball
is regarded as the one sport which In
the future viii eventually become an
international affair.

ragged at times but nevertheless. the
game proved interesting and exciting.
Long and Brash did the pitching
for the visiting teams and only al
lowed five hits. while Austin did the
bcx work for Punahou and total of
eleven hits were chalked for his pp.
ponents. Brash Is an old first team
man. and when he took the pitchers
position the o. G. men found Il hard
hitting him and did not score run
thereafter. Austin pitched his first
regular game yesterday, and consider
ing this. he handled the horse hide In
first class style. He has shown up
strong in a number Of other places,
and the coaches think that in few
years he will be first class man on
the diamond.
Lionel Brash was the star batter of
the afternoon. for out of four times at
bat he made three hits and scored an
equal number of runs. The third time
he took his position opposite the plate
resulted In a nice three-bagger and

team man, proved the man with the
eagle eye on the Punahou team when
he walked twice, flew out twice and

runs for the Oahuafs The average
batting OF the D. G. team was not
as good as that OF the NJ. H. S, nine.

put him on the road to success.

gone back home on visit
Dixon was one of several boys
who were to exchange Eallops for
the amusement of those gathered
about the ringside.

moment he entered the ring because

him. He was almost twice as large
as Dixon. .a..s r."

whipping his bigger opponent. ..
Perhaps became too enthusiastic.
But at any rate after the fight was
over Dixon leaned out of the ring and
asked me If was not the german
from California who had yelled out to
him that he would some day be
champion of the, world.
Il informed him that was the
gen man who had made the predic.
ton, and in subsequent conversations
found him such an intelligent lad that

him along in the game.

to say so.
after some coaxing, however. Tom
agreed to look Dixon over, and
short while later Dixon was brought
to the Pacific coast, where he de-
feated Abe Willis, the Australian

But O'Rourke even then was not

to treat him as he should.

DERED BY HEAVY ROADS
Schedule Took Speakers Through
Sand Dunes Along Columbia.

In making out the schedule of
dates for the Dry delegation the COM
mittee laid out a trip down the Col
umbia river, which was impossible
to make on time, so Mr.. Hinshaw,
the National Chairman of the Pro-
hibition party and George l.. Cleaver,
candidate for Congress, second Greg
on district, were not able to appear
in Heppner as billed.
They reached Arlington two days
late and Mr.. Cleaver came on to the
branch towns Friday, visiting Hepp-
ner, Lexington and lone, at which
points he acquainted himself with
the voters by coming into personal
contact with them.
Mr. Hinshaw reports that the pro-
hibition wave, not only in Oregon,
but all over the country, is the great
est in all the history of the cause, and
that the temperance forces are now
so combined that they will elect at
least three men to Congress in Nov
ember The second district of Greg
on is to have the honor of polling the
largest vote for Dry candidate yet
recorded.
Mr.. Cleaver says that the Dry ele-
ment in all the parties that have can
didates, are lined up behind him and
that the Progressives and Socialists,
who have no candidates will vote for
him and assure his election.
The women are organized for the
fight and these temperance advocates

saloons on Nov. 3rd, not only in pas
sing the amendment, but by electing

The Need of Cheap Money.

Agriculture has never been proper
ly financed. The farmer pays a much
higher rate of interest as a rule than
any other class OF borrower and his
property, especially that Of farm prod
ucts, is not so readily accepted as a
basis Of credit as the property of
other lines of industry of equal mar
ket value.
A rural or land credit system is
needed that will enable a farmer to
buy home on long time at cheap
rate of interest.
A statute based on sound business
principles that will enable the land
less to buy and encourage the large
land owner to sell, is much needed,
and one that merits the most serious
consideration of our law makers.
The financial problem of the state
and nation is on the farm, and first
attention should be given those who
create the nations wealth.

Soil is not dead, inert substance,
as many suppose. 1t is an active, virile

the farmer should know his soil If he
would maintain its productiveness.

In this age of advancement in agri-
cultural science there is no excuse for
soil depletion to further menace the
nations prosperity.
