Offer Made to Bresnahan by Feds
Near Breaks a Record.

Roger Bresnahan, new manager of5s
the Cubs, turned Town one of the fat
test offers ever made a baTplayerD
when he refused to jump to the Fed d
eral league on or about Oct. Is last. i
In an affidavit filed Monday for use
in the trust suit brought against orr
ganized baseball by the Feds theU
husky backstOp revealed, for the first
time, the dealings he had with theE
independents. Rogers affidavit was
one of seven filed by the o. B. forces. q
The great court battle with the Fed
erals opens Wednesday. o
And now for the large and iuicyI
lump that Rog couldn't see: <
A yearly salary of $4,000, togeth-
er with $25, 900 worth of stock in the
st. Louis club and a bonus of 5,000Ja
for signing, was what Bresnahan
claims he was offered by Phillip BALI
and Edward Steininger of tibet st.
Louis FedeaTls.
This comes pretty close to setting
a record for baseball salaries when
the side inducements are taken into'
consideration.
According to Rogers affidavit, it
was in October, after Fielder Jones
had been secured to manage the st.
Louis Federals, that the Wards of
Brooklyn started negotiations with
him.
At that time Roger demanded $780,
900 for three years service and a
bonus of $4,000 for jumping the
Cubs. The deal hung on the fence
for a period and Roger finally jour
neyed to New York at the request
Of Pres. Gilmore of the. Feds.
Roger says that, in the office of
the Wards in New York. he was
offered the $4,000 for three years
service, of which 5000 was to be
paid Immediately as bonus for sign
ing. For various reasons the present
Cub boss turned down the offer.
And then>in August came the offer

INFORM THE EDITOR

One of the most difficult of the editors jobs is to get facts about marriages. births and deaths. People seem to think he ought to know these things by intuition. If not that, the birth. marriage and death is of such importance Tn the immedl- ate family that it is presumed the editor will be informed by some wireless or just grow into the information. Then, when the paper comes out. and no mention IS made of the event, the editor is blamed for nof running a good newspaper. or not getting all the news. Rs- member. there are a good many

people in this county. If the editor knew each one of them by name, besides their family history and the chief events in | he lives of every individual, he wouldn't be an editor. He'd be d demi- god, resting his feet on Il cloud and slipping ambrosia instead of inhabiting a broken down office chair and wondering
 where the money for the next white paper bill is coming from.

WEEKLY LETTER
Bureau of Mines, Manufactures
 and Agriculture.
Sorghum.

with us and the sorghum mills
 are running full-blast. In a few
 weeks the country will apparent
 ly overrun with sorghum. and
 the question will arise, how to
 convert the surplus sorghum in-
 to money. It is a hard problem
 if you go about it wrong and an
 easy one if you go about it right.
 As a matter of fact, there is not
 enough in this years crop to
 supply the home demand, so far
 as Arkansas is concerned. The
 first step to get money out of
 sorghum is to produce good
 sorghum. The next step is to
 put it into marketable shape.
 The wrong way is to put the
 molasses into a barrel, keg or
 jugs and take to town merchants.
 He may not tell you so, but he
 knows that he cannot sell to the
 best advantage that way. The
 right way IS to get some tin
 syrup cans or buckets. with self
 sealing or friction tops. These
 can be had at any hardware
 dealer, in quarts, half gallon
 and gallon sizes. If the hard
 ware dealer does not have them
 ask him to order them. You
 can get them for from five to
 seven cents each. Molasses put
 up in these cans should keep throughout the year and not get too strong. Use assorted sizes of cans, so the demand of the retail dealer can be met. It would be wise to go to your local printing office and have some neat labels printed. They
 will cost you only about dollar for a hundred. Paste the labels on neatly. Always remember that the neatness and attractive ness of the package is the first step to a good sale in this day and time. The American people are paying more for paper boxes, tin cans, pretty labels and gilt letters now than at any time in the history of onr country. Quality is seldom considered un- less the package looks good. , Bum goods will sell in a pretty | package: good goods will not [ sell in bum package. When eady for the market, take your goods to the merchant in town and offer them for sale at fifty cents per gallon, with the cost of the package added. Don't go around and ask what they will give. For once in your life as sume the right that belongs to every producer and put your own price on your product. If ! you gcan't sell then go to the consumers and sell at sixty cents a gallon in competition with the merchants. If this plan fails to dispose of what you have, then go the postmaster and see what it will cost to ship each different size package by parcel post. Then fix your prices ac- cordingly and advertise in the paper to sell delivered by pacrel post, and guarantee the quality. If you cannot guar antee the quality, then all plans will fail you If your ad in the paper fails to sell your product, then send a sample can to some brokers in some of the nearby cities, give him your price and let him sell for you, paying him the usual commission of five per cent. I mention prices and plans of selling because first, the prices are fair to the producer, and middleman; and second, because the merchants and business men who have stood for the doctrine and di- versifcaticn should be willing to show their faith by their work"

tnces during the dark days. Every
