rewards Of their season-long efforts

the immense seating capacity of the
Boston Nationals new stadium, which
will be used for the games In that
city, the receipts should be larger
than IN any previous contests In one

The Braves stadium will seat more
than $4,000, and the receipts should
exceed $4,000 per game. In PhI!a.
delphia the Phillies' park does not
hold more than $4,000, and the gate
is not likely to be more than $4,000.

While twenty other states were
struggling through an entire season
with widespread outbreaks of foot

suffering immense losses from the de-

Minnesota stock was protected Until
near the close of the season, says D..
M. H. Reynolds, University Farm, St.

ed by the importation of the virus
with hog cholera serum from a COM

was absolutely no spread of virus;

BIG MONEY IN
SORTING POTATOES

There is money to be made by the
sorting of potatoes. Consumers, large
and small do not like mixed lots.
They them wantuniform in size and
quality. Consequently potatoes are
usually sorted before being put on the
market and the price which is paid the
potato-gFewer is the price of sorted
potatoes less the cost of sorting.
Therefore, the potato-grower who
ships unsorted potatoes really pays
the charge of sorting,
. The shipper Of unsorted potatoes,
also has to pay another charge, and
that is the freight on the culls which
are later taken out of the shipment.
The shipper of unsorted potatoes.
therefore, is simply wasting money
It pays to sort because it gives one
the top market price and because it
saves freight on the culls, and, il
might be added, because the culls
could be kept on the farm and made
use of in rations for live stock.

had beeen arranged. and of special
interest was the toy symphony. which
had been prepared for presentation
and was directed by Miss Mildred

by Donald Strickler and Meta Kun

Moseley. These three numbers may
be spoken of in approval. as the
parts were rendered In a most charm
ing manner. These young people are
not only talented. but have received
most excellent training, and their
playing showed a good deal of must
cianly feeling and technical skill
A fourth number was a recitation

returned from the Columbia school

most warmly received by the audi
ence. The Kinder symphony or toy
symphony was the last number on
the program. It was gracefully con-
Quoted by Miss Mildred Joy, and the
members OF the orchestra performed
with the most credible accuracy. The
piano and violin parts are written in
a most musical way by that master
of the composition, Joseph Haydn,
and the various toy instruments COM
posing the orchestra were most skill
fully played by the various young
musicians whose names appear be-
low. This was novelty in Keokuk
and gave great pleasure to the audi
ence. 1t will be heard again toward
the end of the season. when the
