There is an effort on foot to secure
the All Star teams of the National and
American Leagues for an exhibition
game to be played here, in October,

Should such a game be arranged all
attendance records for ball games on

nearly everybody will at least like
to see some OF the men who have
made the national game what it is
today.
Manager Macauley of the base ball

satisfactory arrangements with the
management of the big players. Let
us hope they are successful and the
weather is favorable.

Big Yields Bring Money to
Ranchers
VISIT TO FIELDS OF COUNTY
SHOWS SURPRISING CROPS
Ranchers Under Contract With Big
Seed Companies Making Good Mar
gin Of Profit.

The ranchers who this year have
planted a proportion of their acreage
to seed beans stand in fair way to
make big returns. The. Times
reporter visited this week. in
company with Manager Coulter OF the
D. M. Ferry Seed company, a number
OF the seed bean fields and was sur
prised not only at the heavy stands
and well filled pods, but with the uni
formity of the yield.
The ranch of E. P. Dunlap on Addi-
son avenue, was among the first to be
inspected and showed that under a
careful estimate would go twenty-five
bushels to the acre, thus giving a
gross return of $4,000. The seed
planted and cared for under the di-
rection of the seed company, will be
taken at three and a half cents per
pound.
Two other fields in this same neigh
borhood with another variety of seed
beans, showed even better yields and
would average easily thirty bushels to
the acre. This variety was contracted
for at four cents per pound
Twenty acres on the ranch man
aged by Linyille and Harris, was per-
haps the banner crop for yield. AS
high as thirty pods measuring from
seven to eight inches long, being the
average per vine Manager Coulter
estimated that this crop would net the
two men forty dollars per acre.
much smaller tract of trifle
over one acre belonging to K NJ Os-
borne south of this city, will yield ap-
proximately fifty bushels per acre and
is contracted at four cents.
In all of the territory covered but
one field showed any indication OF
lack of care, the balance showing
big thrifty vines and well filled pods.
In none of the fields were there any

WOULD STOCK SALMON DAM
State Game Warden Jones Makes Of
fer to SpOrtsmen.

State game warden, l.. G. Jones,
while in this city, stated to some of the
local men that il assistance in screen
ing the tunnel at the Salmon river
dam, could be secured among the To-
cal sportsmen, he would stock the deep
waters of the dam with black bass.
Mr.. Jones stated that the reservoir
was an ideal place for bass and that
the reservoir would become one of the
best fishing spots in the state in two
years. The cost of installing the
screen is not known. but it is worth
the effort of the local sportsmen to
raise the money and thus assure the
placing of the bass.

By ASHTON G. CHAPMAN,
President Commercial National Bank.

Written Expressly for The Washington Herald
The entrance of Italy into the war
has had no effect on American
finance. The United States had re-
covered from the shock of the first
declaration of war, and even if the
rest OF Europe became entangled,
the result on finances here would be
negligible.
Even the enlargement of the war
zone about Great Britain has caused
no appreciable depression of bust
ness here. 1t may, but it is some
thing | can't forctcll The extension
OF submarine activities has had one
god effect, in that it is keeping thou
sands of tourists here in this country
and their millions in money at home
The results Of the Pan-Amcrican
conference is what bankers are look
7 ing forward to now. believe one
OF the benefits which will come out
OF that will be the choosing of the
United States as a shopping place

pie | talked with one man at the
conference who is here for the first
time. He always had done his shop
ping in Paris and London, but his
eyes were opened by what he saw
here. OF course. that will be only
one Of a great many good results Of
the conference.
Local financial conditions improv-
ed during the week over the previous
period. The money market became
easicr- and there was a good demand
for investments The closing of the
