While it is impossible to preserve

storage which combines too high
degree of temperature with darkness.
semidarkness or even slightly sub
dued light, it is quite possible to keep
them for several weeks, in late spring
or early summer, when they are
spread thinly on the floor of a bright
sunny room. After danger of freezing
weather is past they are even better
placed out of doors in the direct sun
shine A series of shelves arranged
one above another on the southern
exposure OF the dwelling or farm
building provides an excellent place
for sun sprouting. The tubers are
spread in single layers on the shelves
and allowed to remain until wanted
for planting. Exposed to the fun
force of the suns rays the tubers, in
stead OF sending out long, white, ten
der. succulent sprouts as in poorly
lighted storage, become hardened in
flesh and green in color, sand very
short, stubby, firm. green sprouts are
developed by the eyes. whitening OF
the tubers is but slight as compared
with that under. conditions found in
a warm, dark storage and they Will
remain in the sunlight many weeks in
good condition for planting.
Tubers may be EXPOSED to the sun
light for several weeks-from four to
ten weeks, and they will sprout splen-
didly. Such tubers when cut one
sprout to a piece and planted send up
strong plants in a surprisingly short
time. 1t is hardly profitable to sun
sprout large tubers for planting, as
not all of the eyes viii develop sprouts
and considerable waste will result.
However, the plan is excellent when
smaller tubers are used and planted
without cutting. So firm and tough
become the hard, short sturdy sprouts
developed In the sun. that planting
may be done with certain horse
power machines without injury to the
seed tubers II not too many are placed
In the planter at time. Planting OF
sun-sprouted seed is often delayed as
late as the early part Of July with
excellent results In the production of
fine quality of seed stock for the fol-
lowing year.
The results Of careful experiments
with sun-sprouted and common seed
potatoes chow decided advantage in
favor of the former Stock which had
been raised from sun-sprouted seed,

Here is a schoolroom story, told
us by Michigan health supervisor:
I'VE were raising funds for paying for
operations for removal of the adenoids
and tonsils. The school children were
much interested and canvassed the
town selling stamps. At one home
where a little boy called to sell
stamps the lady asked: What are
you going to do with the money! The
little boy quickly replied: 1t is to
buy adenoids for little children that

FEDERAL LEAGUE ANTITRUST SUIT
Big Legal Battle With Organized Baseball Opens Today Outlaws Bill of Complaint Asks That Organized Base ball be Declared a Trust in Restraint of Trade and Commerce-SaIaries Offered Players by Federals

One point in the defense of organ ized baseball, in the antitrust suit brought by the Federal League which vii be heard today will be based on gently passed by congress, according to a. report current in Chicago. The section which the attorneys for the defense are expected to cite, reads:
 That the labor of a human being is not a commodity or article of com merce.'
 The Federal Leagues bill of com plaint asks that organized baseball be declared trust in restraint of trade and commerce..
 It was said tonight the attorneys for the defendants would contend that as organized baseball deals in labor, it cannot be said to violate the law. 1t was said Tuesday night that no more aff7daVits would be filed before the opening of the case. The additional testimony to be presented probably will be verbal. President Tener of the National League is among those likely to take the witness stand. It was generally predicted that Judge Landis, before whom the case will be heard and who is widely known as a baseball enthusiast, will use knowl- edge of the game in questioning wit nesseS.
 According to the affidavits filed so far. the following salaries are alleged to have been offered ball players by the Federal League and either ac- cepted or refused by the players: Bresnahan (refusedl $12,ooO Perritt (acceptedl SS,o00.
 Hamilton (accepted) -reconsidered}

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK MARKET ACTIVE. Transactions in Securities Larger Than on Any Day Since Resumption.

New York, Jan. 19.-Transactions in securities on the stock exchange today were larger and broader than in any session since Dec. 15 last. when trad ing in the entire list was resumed. With few important exceptions, the average of today prices was on a level with the nigh quotations then re- corded and i've 10 ten points above the low range which marked the subse- quent decline.
 The significant feature of the move lnent was the fact that specialties. so long donipant, were relatively ignored, while former favorites, like United States Steel Amalgamated Copper, Reading and Pacific, regained their Wonted leadership. Of all low priced issues, Missouri Pacific alone occupied d commanding position, adding to it's recent recovery on favorable reorgan- ization runors- Canadian Pacific and affiliated lines were again active and strong. while the coa!ers, grangerS, transcOntinentals and southern roads gained from one to five points.
 United States Steel was more active of the induStrials, but it's importance was temporarily eclipsed by Bethlehem Steel whose directors fulfilled expecta- tiors by restoring the preferred stock to the full seven per cent. rate, these shares later selling at the best price in over eight years. Advances of two to four points were quite general in the many miscellaneous issues includ- ing tOba eco. while copper more than retained recent gains.
 Activity was less pronounced in the lassr trading. and realizing for profits was seen, but without much effect on the general list, which closed with a. strong undertUne.
 According to popular belief, the mar ket has derived much of it's recent impetus from the increasing ease of money. The rate for most accommo- dations is such as to permit profitable buying of nigh grade securities Rein vestment or January in these divi- dends is also a factor of importance. To this 1t is to be added the extraor- dinaTy improvement shown by the Country's foreign trade and the wide demand for bonds at private sale.
 Wabash fours and Rock Island col laterals were the only bond gains. To- tai sales (par YaIue) were $S,033. 900.
 United States coupon threes were l-2 per cent. higher on call.

ORGANIZED BASEBALL
 MEETS A CRISIS
Will Fight a Legal Battle of Great
 Importance for the First Time.

After more than forty years of sue cessfuL albeit more or less stormy. operation organized ball now finds it. self for the first time engaged in legal battle for existence upon the only basis that time and experience have proven as practical in the conduct of pro feSsional baseball as 2 combina tion of sport and business. This crucial legal battle is the continuation of the bitter war between organized ball and the in dependent Federal league, which has degenerated into a. struggle for sur viVa.l of the fittest-thanks wholly to errors of judgment and conduct which have carried both sides to unneces- sary and regrettao1e extremes In four preceding. wars organized ball. neces- sarIly always upon the defensive, man. aged to eVade the legal issue that now faces it. by reason Of a, combination of good luck. good baseball sense. and predominance of Sportsmen over Ccsl- merciaIists But in this war organized ball faced new conditions and failure to realize that fact has forced upon it the greatest crisis of it's long. career. Too much progressive pTOSperitE and too much concentrated power blinded the major leaGueS to the ularVelouslv quickened public and legal conscience on all phases of the trust or monof>olv problem. and 10 vast changes in the status of labor: blinded 1t to the strength and resources of the enemy.
  weakness: and blinded il to the funda- mental causes of the war involving questions in which the players and the public were involved quite as much as the capitalists. The national com mission, to which was entrusted inc absolute conduct of the war refecting the spirit of it's creators, made various mistakes of judgment and adininistra- tion--which are still too fresh in pub lie mind to be enlarged upon here the chief of which was failure to dis tinguish between vested rights" ''as- stunned rights" and granted privi- leges' This unfortunate disposition led to dependence upon and ultimate surrender to law and lawyers. and to the transfer of the battle to the courts Where that would lead to. if the war lasted more than one season, was ol,- vious to everybody except the sine1l- 1ariy obtuse leaders. These pages teen1 or judicial investigation with each new law suit over some comparatively IIr- i'm portant player: and press and pufr- iic gave such unnistakabIe evidence of weariness and disguest with the legal warfare. that after the crushing crit icism of organized ball by JudTa Bis sell in the Chase case, it seemed cer- tain that the end of the futile legal war phase had been reached. That de- cision pointed uneTTlngly to the legal danger of organized ball, and stimuli taneous9y clearly indicated to the Fed eTal league it's opportunity and ra- course. Under the circumstances the recent war moves of the Triurnvirs. cuiuinatlng in the reopeuing of legal war through the Magee case were amazing, in view of their virtual in v1tation to the independents to go to of unceasing litigation.
