MUST POST
FORFEIT OF $1,000

Milwaukee, Wis, April 13.-Packey
Mcfarland must post a $1,000 forfeit
by next Wednesday to bind his match
with Mike Gibbons or the scrap is off.
The St. Paul phantom hurled this
ultimatum at the s%tockyards man yes
terday. Mike has already posted his
forfeit with Tom Andrews Of the
Cream City A. c., and is a bit peeved
because Packey has failed to come
through. s
Il am tired of acting the part of
press agent for Mcfarland" says Glo-
bons. If he is sincere in his intention
to fight me why doesn't he put up his
money to make the weight? I've dal-
lied long enough with him. There, is
a conference scheduled for Wednes-
day in Chicago at which Packey will
have to put up or shut up"

Chicago, April 13.-President John

company with President Comiskey OF

President Johnson took cognizance
of Fielder Jones' remarks anent the
baseball: situation to the extent of ac-
cusing the former White Sox manag.
er of OVERRIDING some of the state
nents for the purpose of making his
points. He said:
ut is not true, as Jones would
make ii appear, that the Washington
club MADE 70 effort 10 sign Walter
Johnson for this year until after he
had signed with the Federal league.
Jones is perfectly aware Of the fact
the Washington club offered the pitch.
er as early as last July more liberal
terms than those to which he finally
agreed.
Zones seems to want to create the
impression that Walter Johnson vas
left IN doubt as to whether or not the
Washington club desired his services
for 1915 and signed with the Federal
league for self protection. This is
wholly misleading and not in con.
formity with the facts.

THE WEALTH. OF IOWA.

(Frcm the Waterloo Times-Tribune.)
$SSS F eW Hawkeyes realize the enor-
nous wealth Of Iowa. They read re-
ports on the corn crop. on the animal
industry. on the factory outputs and
on realty values but the figures are.
as a rule beWildering and their true
y. lest 4,
W. Comparisons, therefore, are the
best means Of bringing home to the
people Of Iowa the true wealth Of
their state. These are not always
available but occasionally they are
and when they are they afford
ground for Iowans to feel proud.
1t has been figured out that the
farms Of Pottawattamie county alone
are worth as much as the. farms Of
Arizona, Delaware, Rhode Island or
Nevada.
4 The farms of four Iowa counties
are worth more than the farms Of
New Hampshire, Vermont, Connect
cut, Florida, Wyoming, New Mexico
or Utah. '5-5s .@5sga
D. The farms of seven Iowa counties
exceed in value the farms Of Oregon,
Idaho, Montana, Louisiana, Mississip-
.pi, Alabama, New Jersey, West Vir-
ginia, Massachusetts or Maryland.
" The farms of eight Iowa counties
are worth more than the farms OF
Washington, Colorado, Arkansas, Ten.
nessee, Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina or Virginia.
The farm lands Of 8 counties In
Iowa have increased more in value In
the 10 years ending in 1909 than
the farms Of any stat in the union
excepting only Illinois. '
I The corn, oats, wheat and barley
crops of 10 Iowa counties are worth
more than the cereal and potato
crops combined of 80 states including
every state west of Iowa, except
Washington.
The hay and forage crops Of Iowa
are equal to half the combined value
Of the alfalfa, hay and forage crops
of the IL states west Of Iowa. =,
q These statements have been care
fully compiled and may be accepted
as reliable. It would be interesting
to know how many of the less i'm
portant agricultural states of the un-
ion it would require to show a total
farm value equal to the value Of all
the farms in Iowa. or how many Of
these states it would require to equal
In the value of their farm crops the
total value of Iowa farm produce.
4 At all events the comparison is
important as bringing home to us an
idea Of the immense wealth of grand
old Iowa. s
