WHY BASEBALL LOSES INTEREST.
IDuhnnue Times Journal


Is interest in baseball dying out or
is It the war, hard times. ETC., that Is
responsible for the predicament base-
bali clubs all over the country find
themselves in? Baseball clubs in wide
ly scattered sections have suffered A.
nancial reverses this season and there
is little likelihood that conditions will
improve. The losses suffered have been
proportionate with the size OF the city
and the clubs payroll.
The war has undoubtedly attracted
considerable interest away from the
national pastime, a great many per-
sons taking the European conflict
and the possible danger Of this coun-
try being dragged in, so serious1c
that they have become moody and
lost interest in all amusements. Bus
mess has also lessened attendance at
places of amusement, but the prin-
cipal cause is ore that baseball pro-
motors of the future must consider II
they nave any respect for their purses.
We refer to the growing popularity OF
the automobile.
Years ago when the automobile
was a novelty attendance at baseball
games was the favorite recreation Of
men. Business men went to the
games Il large numbers on week
days, largely because they felt that
q few hours in the open air would
do them good. On SUNDAYS the toll
ing masses patronized the games in
great numbers, It was the cheapest
and most popular form of 'recrea-
ton. Now with every person in
dozen OF so owning an automobile
conditions are different. There are
hundreds Of automobiles owned in
Dubuque today where there wasn't
one ten years ago. They are own>d
by the capitalist, the business man
the clerk and mechanic and every
spare moment Of their time is spent

MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE RELIEF

MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE RELIEF
tFort Dodge Messenser.)
The ratings of the Cedar Rapids
/ board have been the basis for premi-
inns in the past but nobody paid much
attention to them If there was good
sale of insurance in sight. Agents for
good companies bid lower Oh the the
DRY that the book rate had purposelv
been left nigh enough for discounts
just like a manufacturers catalog.
The object of the new law no doubt
was to give everybody an even rate on
the same kind of risk, but unless tie
book rates are lowered il will be a
hardship TO raise all the insurance
buyers 10 that level. Probably in the
end it will be desira bic in results. Dur
ing the readjustment period it must
be closely watched to avoid higher
rates. Unless we are to believe that
insurance has been altogether too low
in Iowa in the past it is net fair to
arbitrarily compel more tribute for the
companies now.

just that long will accidents ensue and

not known, but the number is great.

ROAD BONDS PRACTICABLE.


The proposal for long term bonds
for the construction of hard surfaced
roads embodied in the pronouncements
of both the State Bankers and Iowa
Bar Association is nothing new in
principle. 1t has long been utilized in
city paving and the state employs IT
in it's drainage system.
The resolutions. which We're adopted
by the bankers and endorsed by the
attorneys III their annual meetings.
provide for the percentage of future
generations against debt in the bene-
fits of which they have had no partici-
patton, by making the bonds serial-to
be liquidated within given number
of years-and payable within the life
of the road Improvement,
The advantage of the long time road
bond lies in the fact that at present
practically the same amount Is paid
annually in taxes for road improve
ment which does not improve While
under the proposed system hard-sur-
fa ced permanent roads would be built
at once and be serviceable at all times.
Under the present arrangement the
public would pay practically the same
price and get what II pays for

the stability Of the proposal from at
least two important viewpoints.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Davenport Democrat having
noticed that "One page of an Iowa
paper, devoted to Fourth of July news,
recorded no fatalities from explosives,
but contained news items of eight auto
mobile accidents, in which three
Iowans were killed and twelve in
jured concluded, that evidently the
movement for a sane Fourth should
spread from the cities to the country
roads,
From Harding's own town the Sioux
City Tribune remarks shat, oh other
words, the same influences that worked
upon the state senate to take the ap-
pointing and supervision of special
state police out Of the hands Of the
attorney general and place the power
with the governor are now trying to
convince the public Il vii, BE The at
torney general and not the governor
to do with law enforcement"
The Iowa City republican can see
that The result Of the no tipping law
will be to narrow tipping down to
where the sensible and liberal travel
ing men think it should be. That it
will be generally observed is not ex-
pected. It will be OF the class to which
belong the cigaret law and the no
trotting over bridges"

RECORD GROWTH OF ALFALFA.
ITifnnka Tnnic.l

i
Mr. Frank Geigel cut his alfalfa LOT
the first time this season on June :.
We witnessed the cutting, and took
some photographs of the field, which
are now on file in our office. THESE
pictures may be seen by any one who
may doubt this story, and that we
have abundant evidence to support the
facts in the case is seen from the ioi-
lowing: At the time Of cutting, the
alfalfa plants measured thirty three
inches in height. and there seemed TO
be a plant growing on every square
inch OF ground in the field. 1t was evil
dent that the yield would be enormous.
Mr.. Geigel. therefore concluded to
weigh the alfalfa hay when it was
cured and ready for the NOV On June
9. seven DAYS after being cut, the al
falfa hay was hauled to town and
weighed on the city scales by the city
weighmaster, Mr.. George c. Shelley.
There were two loads, the first weigh
ing 1850 pounds. the other LEU
pounds. the total pounds harvested pc
ing 2770 pounds. To make sure OF the
exact area of the alfalfa plot we meas
ured it very carefully with tape line.
We found it to be lis feet wide AND
1853 feet long, and the exact area lS,sos
square feet or 69.T square rods. SO TINS
alfalfa plot contains a little less than
seven sixteenths OF an acre. Each
square rod produced 1914 pounds OF
alfalfa, and at this rate an acre Wouid
have produced 6,35S.4 pounds or over
three tons. Now Mr.. Geigel will get
two more cuttings of alfalfa this sea
son, which will likely be as large as
this first cutting. At this rate he Will
harvest s,310 pounds or Al tons OF al
falfa hay off of seven sixteenths Of an
acre during this season, which is 1910
pounds or nine and onehalf tons per
acre One Of the patrons OF the Algona
creamery purchased some newly cured
alfalfa hay last week and hauled 1t di-
rect from the field to the hay NOW. He
paid 1880 per ton for this hay. There
fore, according to this price, an acre OF
alfalfa as good as Mr.. Geigel's would
produce S12S26 worth of hay in one
year, which is not all the value either,
for while the alfalfa is growing on the
land it is taking nitrogen from the air
and storing 1t in the soil. This nitrogen
is the most expensive of all plant or
animal foods. Corn, oats and timothy
rob the soil Of nitrogen. So alfalfa 10
a wonderful crop to grow. because II
Will take the nitrogen from the air and
store it in the foliage for food for
cattle, and besides stores an abund-
ance of it In the soil for future crops
to feed upon. The profits from alfalfa
are, large also because it Is not an ex-
pensive crop to grow. In this section
IL is only necessary to plant alfalfa
about every five years. After once get
ting a good seeding all there Is to do
each year is to harvest the hay. There
is yet time this season to plant alfalfa.
From Aug 1 to Aug. 10 is a good time
to plant alfalfa.-Dairy Expert Welch,
of Algona.

The Masked Voice.

For q matter Of twelve hours the
fog. leaden, dank, viscous, as inexor.
able as the dominion Of evil, had
wrapped the world in an embrace as
foul and noxious as the coils of some
great, gray. Shiny serpent.
Through its sluggish folds the pom
derous. power-impelled lifeboat crept
at a snail's pace. its stem parting and
rolling back from either flank q heavy
hearted sea of gray.
In the bows a young woman rested
in state Of semi-exhaustion, her eyes
closed, he head pillowed on a cork
belt life-preserver, her sodden gar
ments modelled closely to the slender
body that was ever and again shaken
from head to feet with the strength
Of long, shuddering respiration.
Seated on the nearest thwart, Alan
Law, chin in hand, watched over the
rest of this woman whom he loved
with grimly hopeless solicitude. He
was in no happier case than she, so
far as physical comfort went-he was
In worse, since he might not rest.
Premonition Of misfortune darkened
his heart with its impenetrable
shadow.
In the stern Tom Barcus presided
morosely over the steering gear; and
Law was no more jealousy heedful Of

where Alan had disappeared. but with

And for the next twenty minutes

sought the countenance Of Rose. Her
