Move started Months Ago.


The movement was conceived many
months ago, when Belden Hill an
nounced, at the time he accepted the
management Of the Cedar Rapids 1913
club, that this would positively be his
I; last year in active baseball. When
that announcement was made the
Waterloo baseball people started a
gum-shoe campaign for Hill for presi-
dent. which they since have pushed
quietly and which was brought to q
tentative head yesterday when repre-
sentatives of each city present at the
meeting were approached and pledged
to back Hill for the league leader
ship.
That Belden Hill Is the most logi-
cal man for the presidency Of the
Central association was quickly &C
knowledged by every league director
who pledged his vote yesterday. The
fact that Keokuk will probably be
out Of the league next year should
make the league more northern ag-
gregation and the necessity of having
the president located in one of the
northern cities was one Of the points
IN favor Of Mr.. Hill.
The only drawback to the "Hf1l for
President" movement, so far as it ap-
pears to local baseball people Is that
such an election would rob Cedar
Rapids people of any possibility OF
having Belden Hill for manager again
next year and would necessitate OBJ
tanning a new pilot for the 1913 Bun
MES. However, this argument is pure
" a selfish one on the part OF Cedar
Rapids people. who, It is thought
| would waive their claims to Hill as a
manager, in order to give the league
the man best qualified for president.

STARTED BY WATERLOO


CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Sept. 1s.-
Regardless of all other matters
brought up yesterday in the league
meeting held at Clinton, the one of
most importance to the circuit was
one which was not mentioned in the
meeting of the directors, but which
was more discussed outside the meet
ing room than all other topics COM
bined.
This burning issue was boom
started by A. E. Wllford OF Water
loo. to put Belden Hill at the head Of
the league at the annual elefhion
which will be held in Waterloo, Janu-
airy s. From the manner in which
the suggestion was received by the
directors it appears that the move
ment will be genuine boom, and not
a boomerang.
The movement was started without
the knowledge of Mr.. Hill. and SO far
as II known, he has not been ap-
preached in the matter. Certain it is
that he has done no electioneering
and from what is known Of him 1t Is
safe to state that Belden will not do
any campaigning for the position, and
will probably assume a thumbs
down" attitude toward the movement.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1s.-Another
afternoon with the Reds and the
Giants viii have the Cubs on their
hands at the polo grounds to distract
their attention from the watchful
waiting for reports Of an explosion In
Boston indicating that the Braves
have scattered themselves over the
landscape.
The McGrawftes have now won two
games In a row from the Reds. which
adds nothing to their glory, but has
prevented the Braves from adding
anything to their lead while they have
been tearing into the Cardinals. Had
the Giants cared to spend the entire
afternoon on the field they might
merely have stood at the plate and
Douglas, the Red pitcher, would have
passed them all around and won the
game for them himself. He had q
very hazy idea OF the exact location
OF the plate and gave eight bases on
balls and hit one man. The Giants
scored three runs In one inning with
out making q hit. It was no great
effort for Matty to hold the Reds at
bay and the Giants we're not extend
ed enough to show whether they
have the spirit now necessary, yelling
up in their systems.

CORN PRODUCTION INCREASES
Income From Cereal In North Dakota
This Year Estimated at
$7,e600o0.

Grand Forks. - Thirteen million
bushels of corn were raised in North
Dakota this year, according to the
North Dakota Development league
bureau in Grand Forks.
The value of the corn is fixed at arA
proximately $7,S6O,000 or $2,784.O00
more than year ago. The total pro-
duction of this year is approximately
100000 bushels more than last year.
In the last four years the increase in
corn has been exceptionally great and
is largely the result Of the widespread
better farming movement.
There is a growing desire among
farmers to diversity, and although
there will be strong arguments in IA.
vor of a greater wheat acreage next
year, because of prices created by the
European war, still there is every in.
dication of a corn increase.

Mexico's Sal. Producing Lake.

Though Mexico offers many wonders
for the inspection of the traveller none
is more interesting or peculiar than
the salt-producing lakes near Salinas
station, on the Tampico division of the
Mexican Central railway, u miles west
Of San Luis Potosi. It may well be
termed two-story lake, for at times
there is a lake of fresh water over
lying the salt lake: A water.tight
roof of green mud separates the fresh
from the salt water. For a large
part of the year there is no fresh
water lake there. The sun ticks it up
soon after the rainy season is over.
The salt secured from this lake goes,
all over Mexico. The lake has been
worked about sixty-f1ve years. The
whole town of 5000 people makes its,
living from the salt: The property
is owned by family or estate, but
tits said that not one of the owners,
has lived there for years.
