BACK FROM WASHINGTON.

Little Rock, March 3.-Tax Commis- scioners David A. Gates and Epps Brown have returned from Washing ton,D. C., with their special counsel Henry Rector, where they appeared before the Supreme Court. The fran chise tax case of the Cotton Belt, in volving claim by the state of about $30,00O for taxes, interest and penal ties, is involved in the suit which was submitted on appeal.
 Upon the outcome of this suit de- pends the right of the state to collect a franchise tax from corporations do- ing an interstate business, and con- siderable annual revenue is involved The Cotton Belt has been the only one that has resisted it. Arkansas is said to be the only state that has just such law, although other states stcure practically as much revenue by other means.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

didn't "come through" with another thousand or two those fellows never would play ball again; no sir-e-ee; /; they'd go right back to the trades from whence they came, such trades as white washing, plumbing, barber ing, mining and driving express wag- ons.
 But this year the walls have been absent. The Federal League horned in at psychological moment. hoisted salaries to the highest notch in his tory and for once the ball playing folk seem quite satisfied-because some of them are drawing more money for six months "wOrk" than presidents of some of the largest banks and corporations do in twelve months.
 Back in the days when Willie Keel CT was in his prime, when ball play CTS didn't draw the huge calaries they are contracted for in this day and age, Willie remarked that ball player ought to pay for the privilege of playing-not be paid for playing.
 "It's a shame to take the money" remarked Keller. Every time l get my check have feeling I am taking something that doesn't belong to me. And every time I hear ball player who is getting from $4OO to $1,o00 a month for two hours work each day roaring for more money I have to laugh.
 Playing ball is not work. It's fun and fun of the rarest kind. Every man that plays ball plays it because he loves the game. How many ball players have quit the game when in their prime and gone into other work?
 Baseball affords man a chance to see the country. It gives him trip to the Southland each year tha he never would have been able tt afford otherwise. It takes him from one big city to another and satisfies his every desire for travel. He stop

New York, March 3.-Don't you wish that you had taken up the study of ball playing instead of frlvoling your time away at mastering law, medicine, linotyping, stenography brick-laying, chief-clerking, secre- tarying, or presidenting big corpor- ation?
 What a bunch of misguided youths we were when we went in for the trades and professions and passed up baseball, because we thought baseball an underpaid occupation and a low brow life!
 Are you drawing from $5,O00 to $10,0O0 every six months for getting two hours of exercise a day? Are you able to go south each winter and bask in the sunshine and sniff in the balmy breezes while your brethren in the north contract chills, pneumonia coal bills and frozen ears? Has any vaudeville manager ever waved contract in your direction, calling for from $4OO to $7O0 a week, for your efforts in doing 20-minute mono | logue twice day?
 Pity the poor down-trodden ball player-NIT.
 Have you ever made trip around the world, all expenses paid, anc been given about $1,000 beside Have you ever been wined and dinet by European royalty, by the high off cials of the Orient or Australia? Die the U. s. Ambassador of France eve1 welcome you with banquet and re ception?
 | We'll, that's just what has happened to these "underpaid, low-broW' ball players. Isn't their life hard one?
 In other years the winted quiet ha: l been fractured by the more salary shrieks of large number of bal players. How could they live on {

GEORGE RUST SIGNS
 WITH NASHVILLE
One of the Best Known Baseball Play. CTS to Play in the Southern League
 f This Coming Season. 1

Little Rock, March 3.-GeOrge Rust, perhaps one of the best known base ball men in the state, has signed a contract with the Nashville club of the Southern League, and will leave today for that place, where he will go into spring training with the team.
 Rust made good several seasons ago with a professional team in the North, and sine e that time has been in this city, his home. For several years he was the shining light on the local diamond, playing with several of the City League teams here, and proving his worth to the many scouts that came here to Hook 'em over,' Rust was picked by the Nashville scout as one of the finds of the sea- son, and recently has been sent trans portation to Nashville.
 Rust has host of friends in Little Rock and vicinity, and is known all over the state as one of the cleverest baseball players in the local sport cir cles. The critics have been watching his work for some time, and several teams have tried to sign him up. Fiji nally when the Nashville, Tenn. magnet got into communication with him an agreement was reached, anC the local star will depart for tryou with the Nashville club.
 Rust is one of the headiest infield CTS ever seen in action here, and wher he turns out in the Nashville uniform it is thought that he will show ul we'll, especially as he has seen fas company before, and this is not his first break in on big league ball.

ally direct and vigorous way touching
the question of proper provision for

prejudice give way to sense" is intend
ed to refer to opposition to the town
ship unit system, provision that is
certain to sometime be adopted in
Michigan and the absence of which at
this time increases the burden of many
school districts and causes loss to coun-
try school pupils in every county in the
state.

TEN ORANGES
REPRESENTED
AT Pomona Meet With Wilson
Grange Last Week.

Charlevoix Pomona Grange No. 40
met with Wilson Grange on Feb. 18th
with a good attendance, there being
about ten oranges represented. AS the
crowd was late in getting there on
account OF the weather, practically
nothing was done before dinner. In
the afternoon all of the business of the
meeting was done as the evening
session was to be an open one.
John Knudsen gave short but in
terestiug report of the State Grange
session held in Flint. Mrs. E. H. Clark
gave very instructive paper entitled,
'The Grange as Social Center" One

in the mysteries of the fifth degree
after which committee consisting of
Earl H. Clark, VIM. Mears and E. E..
Stroud, was appointed to arrange for
three one-day Grange Rallies to be held
sometime in the spring. 1t is ex-
pected that State Master j. c. Ketcham
will give an address on Grange work at
each of these meetings.
In the evening the main part of the
program was taken over by the teach
ers from the Boyne City schools. Miss
Anne Callow, the domestic science
teacher, gave very instructive paper
on "Handwork for Girls in the Rural
Schools" illustrated by specimens of
the work of the different grades in the
Boyne City school. Miss Carr, the

ALFALFA BENEFITS.

Among the benefits from growing al
falfa are the following:
1t brings nitrogen to the land. This is
the most costly and the most valuable
element of fertility. 1t takes its nitrogen
from the air and deposits it in the
nodules formed on the roots.
1t brings humus, that is, decaying
vegetable matter, to the soil. It does
this through the abundance of its root
growth. This in dry regions is very
important because of the increased
power which it brings to the soil to re-
tain moisture.
1t aids in keeping down weed growths
because of the cultivation it is neces.
sary to give it dry localities, as when il
is grown in rows that are distant from
each other.
1t virtually subsoils the land. This il
does by sending its roots down into the
subsoil and there leaving fissures in
the same through decay of the roots
wnen the crop has been plowed up.
The value of this wonderful plant tc
the agriculture of the United States i,
would not be easy to over-estimate.

in GOOD CONDITION
Michigan JaiIs Raised to High
Plane.

Lansing, Feb. 1.-THE jails of Mich
igan are in better shape right now than
ever before in the history of the state"
declared Secretary Mari Murray of the
state board of corrections and charities,
today. Murray recently completed a
visit OF inspection to every county in
the state and in most instances he VISIT
ed every city or town of importance in
the country.
Murray thinks that the action of the
last legislature in giving the state board
of corrections increased powers in
dealing jails and Jail problems is large
ly responsible for the improvement.
The board now has jurisdiction over
all county and city jails and detention
rooms. Since this power was granted
the board has closed the city jail at
Iron Mountain, remedied trouble in
Battle Creek Jail and has advised
numerous changes and Improvements
in other jails all over the state.
Secretary Murray recently received
a communication from the board of
supervisors of Otsego county Jail by
the state board, the supervisors had
ordered that proposition to bond for
$4,000 for construction of new jail be
submitted at the spring election.
IF the bonding question is defeated
by vote of the people, what shall we
do?" the supervisors asked.
