alfalfa, etc, will not have to pay a
big price for feed.
1t is rather hard to believe that
we have $23,000,00000 worth of
meat shipped into Arkansas yearly
and we have only about a $4,000.
10000 cotton crop, 1t is hard to
believe that there is $l2,000000O0
annually spent for dairy products
from other States that could be
raised in Arkansas, Over half Of
our cotton money spent for two
articles that we could raise at homo
if we would only do So
One Of the greatest reasons why
we have depended on other States
to furnish feed, butter and meat is
because we have never been so
familiar with the growing of winter
crops and too familiar with cotton
to the exclusion Of Drain and hay
crops, The greatest movement now
on for winter cover crops will be
far-reaChinG and before many years
we will raise our own feed and meat
and have some to sell, | am proud
to see such GREAT strides in aGri-
cultural pursuits, We are paving
the way for more livestock, When
we Increase the acreage of winter
cover crops, we viii necessarily
have more livestock and then we
will have more money more profit,

LOSSES MOUNTING

New York, July 20.-organized
baseball men say that they have data
to prove that since June S, the Federal
league games in st. Louis have shown
a daily average of not more than 100
paid admissions, including Saturdays
and Sundays. Otto stifel, chief pro-
moter Of the st. Louis Feds, admits
that 100000 has been lost in that
city, but he denies the report that he
has decided to throw up the sponge.
The o. B. mel are also responsible
for the story that one of Of the Feds
clubs in the east was prepared to close
the gates next Wednesday until the
reversal Of the Chief Johnson case in
the Illinois appellate court was hand
ed down. If Justice Bissel, in Buff
falo, decides the Hal Chase injunction
proceedings in favor of that player it
is admitted that the Fed promoters
will be greatly encouraged to stick it
a while longer. If the Bissel YER
dict goes that way the cause will be
taken to the appellate division by the
attorneys of the White Sox.

CONRAD WINS IN
THE FIRST round
Secretary Farrell of Board
Guarantees Magnate
Fair Hearing.
ASKS LEAGUE TO

Doesn't Want to Go to Com
mission Unless He is
Forced To.

H. P. Conrad drew first blood in the
battle to retain his position at the
head. of the Fort William club of the
Northern league when he received the
following telegram from j. H. Farrell,
secretary of the national board at Au-
burn, N. Y:
Both sides entitled to a hearing
from both to be passed upon by the
board. If you desire to file claim give
amount claimed and forward all evil
dence."
The message was a reply to Mr.,
Conrad's 300-word wire Friday night
In it the Fort William president pro-
tested against the deal he was being
given by his fellow magnates and re-
quested a fair hearing.
Asks Another Meeting.
Mr.. Conrad mailed out personal let
tiers to the different owners of the
Northern league clubs. He requested
them to hold another meeting and to
give him an opportunity to state his
side Of the case. In this way Mr..
Conrad hopes to bring the whole af-
fair to an early settlement without
being forced to resort to the national
board.
In the meantime he will go ahead

his claims. If the magnates refuse to
give him a chance to prove that he
has done everything in his power to
bolster up the Fort William team and
that he is capable of handling a fran
chise. Mr.. Conrad will proceed with
his case and push it to the limit.
Another interesting development
was the receipt Of a telegram from
the minority stockholders of the Fort
William club by Mr.. Conrad. The
message, signed by S. J.. Mcqueen as
secretary, gave Mr.. Conrad an offer
Of $4,000 for his holdings in the club.
The sum would be payable as follows:
$500 cash, $500 in six months. $500 in
twelve months. $1,000 in eighteen
months and $1,000 in t~wenty-four
months. The message also said that
the offer would expire at midnight
Sunday.

say Of the Fort William situation dur

confident it will be worked salts.

New York, July 2o.-Milwaukee

campaign for another American asso-

Federal League Feature.
Brooklyn's squirt and its resultant
advance to the first division were the
features of the race in the Federal
league. The contests of Saturday left
Brooklyn leading the second division
in the Federal race, but beginning
with a l to 2 victory in a duel be-
tween Ftnneran Of Brooklyn and
Dickson Of Pittsburgh on Monday

third place. Pittsburgh was the
Brooklyn stepping-stone, losing, be-
sides the pitchers battle Of Monday,
a game of by 4 to 2 on Wednesday
and both games of a double-header
on Thursday. The Pittsburghers
partly redeemed themselves by win

Buffalo lost ground during the
week. and at its expense Baltimore
gained slightly. The margin in the
series between these clubs was slight,
but while the set was in progress
Buffalo stepped from third to fifth
place. The %closeness Of the Federal
race made every half game a factor
