PLAN Po0L TO MOVE COTTON.
New arrangements Proposed By Brit
ish Government-Must Be
Unofficial.

Washington, July reformation of
a great cotton pool to Eandle exports
to Europe under an agreement with
the British government has been pro-
posed informally to the state Depart
ment as means of equitably distribut-
ing among producers such cotton trade
as Great Britain and her allies permit
Americans to carry on with neutral
countries without Interference on the
high seas.
ANY arrangements of this kind would

suing to obtain acquiescence in its
point of view.
A Determined Position.
Interest centered for the most part
today in official and diplomatic quar-
ters on the nature Of tne new note to
Germany. Sufficient Of its contents had
become generally known to cause
widespread comment on the apparent
determined position taken by the Unit
ed States.
No progress has been made in the
investigation of the case of the British
liner Orduna, at Which the German
submarine is alleged to nave fired
torpedo without warning. No evidence
has been received to establish beyond
doubt that the torpedo was fred, and
until this is available it was said in
Official quarters the case probably
would not be pressed.
None of the American passengers on
the Orduna was awake at the time of
the attack, and the state department,
it is understood, is reluctant to act

san testimony, such as the statements

trend of comment was that the repeti-
ton of such disaster as befell the
Lusitania would mean the convening
of congress by President Wilson for
considering the action to be taken.
The Next Question.
In the event that the status quo is
maintained, however, and there are in
dications through official or unom-
cial channels that German submarines
in future will conform to the rules of
international law in saving the lives
of Americans on unresisting merchant
men, President Wilson will take up
very soon the situation that has arisen
with Great Britain over interference
with American commerce by the allies.
For several weeks a note has been
practically completed, almost ready to
be sent to the British government, re-
iterating the protest against deviations
from international law in the opera
tons of the order in council against
commerce with Germany. The note
has not been sent because President
Wilson has been unwilling to give the
impression in Berlin that the contro-
veesy between the United States and

Doctors Orders

A bricklayer lay i'll, and the doctor
having done what he could, told the
mans wife to take his temperature in
the morning. Calling the next day,
the doctor asked if his instructions
had been followed.
"Well, we hadn't thermometer in
the house," the good woman replied,
''but I put a barometer on his chest
and it went up to very dry So ]
gave him a bottle of beer and he's
gone to work."

WINTER INJURY TO
FRUIT TREES

A great many inquiries have come
to the Horticultural Division Of the
Experiment Station, asking for infor-
nation about treatment of winter in
jured trees. There are two forms of
winter injury more common than
others. In the first the bark is killed
directly and it often splits on the
trunk and larger limbs and turns dark
brown on the smaller branches. The
surface bark on the small limbs is
often raised, as if blistered. This
may occur in small, circular or ir-
regular areas, or the entire limb may
be effectd. The small limbs should
be cut away and the split bark covered
with grating wax or bound with
strips of burlap or cloth. This should
be done as soon as the injury is no.
ticed.
The second form of injury is not
noticeable until growth starts, unless
the inner bark is examined. This is
usually yellow or light brown. The

and then the side buds develop only
small, tender leaves. The side buds
on the previous summers growth of
wood often fail to start growth, or,
after starting, die before the first
leaves unfold. The bark often re-
mains green through the summer and
dies the following winter.
All branches that fail to start, and
those that make very poor growth
shrould be cut away early in this sea-
son. The best cultivation and care
possible should be given to enable the
tree to recover normal vigor. Ex-
cessive pruning often does more harm
than good. Plant some crop in the
orchard in midsummer, or cease cul-
tivation and irrigation early enough
to cause the trees to thoroughly ripen
their wood before cold weather.

VALUE OF CLUBS HAS
NOT Been DECREASED
Despite Progress Made by Federal
League, American and National
Clubs Still Worth Millions.

Despite the inroads of the Federal
League. American and National League
clubs continue to be worth any where
from $5OO.OcO to $2.OOO.OOO.
The New York GIANTS are the most
valua BILE baseball property in the world
President Hampstead. OF the Giants. and
n. A. LLOYD refused s1.7EO ono for the club
last year. William f. Baker quoted his
price of the Phillies to the Wards at
one round million.
The Connerv syndicate offered s75O.nOC
for the Cubs to Charles p. Taft last year;
and as they wouldn't come through with
5000 the deal fell through. President
Joe Larnin came into possession Of the
Boston Red SOX last year for $780, 90.
1t Is said that the recent sale of the
New York Americans brought its for
mer owners s5On.OO0. It is to be remem-
bered. too. that the club has no perma-
nent home-nothing but nlayers and fran
chise. And outside of Maisel and Cald-
well none C the players looks like a

For this same price Mrs. Britton. of

league franchise can be bought for less
than $4,000.
Look over the Federal League list of
clubs. How much. would a maEnate be
willing to fork over for one of their fran
chises; or. rather how much would a Fed
magnate have the nerve to ask? 1t is an
actual fact that the Federal League
quotations are not more than one-teuth
of the figures quoted for o. B. clubs.

CASE OF "RINGING"
HALTED AT JUAREZ
Mare Entered in Fifth Race Sent to

Declared Of.

Ell Paso. JAN 3O.-An attempted case
Of ringing" was frustrated at Juarez
this afternoon by the vigilance of Pad
dock Judge ]. L. Hall, who being of
the belief that the mare entered in the
fifth race and represented as Repose
was some other horse, requested Own
er A. E. Patterson to have the mare
identified. and upon, Patterson's failure
to do so, Judge Hall notified the stew
ards, who Immediately ordered the
horse withdrawn from the race and
placed in charge of two officers who
will see that no one tampers with her
until she is properly identified The
stewards also ordered that Mr.. Patter-
son be suspended until the Identity of
the mare is cleared up.
Johnnie Ferris. who formerly owned
Repose, declared that II was not the
same mare. Owner Patterson said he
mad bought the mare from man named
Stratton in FL Paso several weeks ago.
Horsemen who examined the mare to-
day declare she is the four-year-old
Trade Mark, which Harry Payne Whit
ney raced and subsequently sold to
Dick Williams.
Patterson will be given hearing to-
morrow.
Big commissions had been received
at the track to bet on the mare, but
these were declared on.

Chief Executive Rarely Misses
Opportunity to Play Round
on Local Links.
BY NAT T. wORLEY

Golf has grown so wonderfully in the
last ten years that some of the far-see-
ing prophets are predicting in time it
will become second only to baseball in its
hold upon the public as a means Of diver
sion.
Six hundred thousand persons are now
enrolled as golfers in this country against
a comparative handful fifteen or twenty
years ago, besides there are some hun
dreds of thousands who are not enrolled
but who play the game just as consist
emily and with as much fervor.
More than fifty thousand were added
10 the roll last year and double that num-
ber will be enlisted in the cause in the
coming twelve months if the hopes Of
the gollfng army are fulfilled.
Washington can probably boast as
many golf clubs as any city of its size in
the country. and some Of them are known
all over the United States.
Led by no less a parsonage than the
President of the United States. the small
army of Washington followers of the
ancient Scottish game thrOngs the links
throughout the spring. summer and fall,
and many Of them play the game all the
year.

President Wilson is an ardent golfer
and finds the game exactly suited to his

which form a part of his high office
With DR.. Cary Grayson he is often a

commendation. should tend to make the

Prominent among these is the radiation
of the holes back and forth from the
clubhouse. a feature which would be
worth a fortune to many other golfing
organizations in this country.

The ninth hole is within ten yards of
the clubhouse, and this will make it pos
sible for players to arrange a nine-hole
match. finishing up in full view of the
veranda. Eleven of the eighteen greens
can also be seen from the clubhouse site
making il an easy matter to
watch the play. and it can be readily
imagined what a panorama this would
present on a tournament day.
The water supply comes from a well in
solid rock located on the highest point
on the grounds, and is pumped from a
distance of 200 feet below the surface.
This water is piped to the house with
twice as much pressure as is usual in
the city. From the same position the
water will flow by gravity to every
green on the course.
DR.. T. J. w. Brown Works Hard.
Much credit for the new course must be
given to DR.. T. J. W. Brown. a great de-
vOtee of the game and a man second to
none as a hard worker for Bannockburn
success. Under his excellent leadership.
the club has passed through the most
trying experience of its career, that Of
moving from one spot to another, and
too much cannot be said of his untiring
efforts in the past five years Others who
have been closely associated with DR..

to the wheel and worked hard are Dan

Alice B. Sanger.
