RARE OLD BASEBALL

The oldest baseball in exist
ence is owned by the president
of the East End Church Base
ball league in Pittsburgh. The
ball is nearly fifty-three years
old. 1t was used first in a
championship game between the
Eclipse team of Kingston, N. Y,
and the Hudson team of New
burg, N. Y. The game was
played on June 20, 1862, and
ended 40 to IS, il favor of tho
Kingston team.
The ball is made of one piece
of horsehide, sewed in the CEN
ter. When it was first used I'M
derhand pitching alone was per
missible. Curves were I'M
known.
The ball carries $500 burglary
insurance and $500 fire insur-
ance. 1t was given to it's pres
ent owner by John Miller, who
played first base on the Eclipse
team. Miller is one hundred
years old now, and lives in
CornWall-on-Hudson.

Ambition is superiar to the hope
which is said to beat eternal in the
breast Of man, especially where
politicians are concerned, and il
must be admitted that Elmer L
l.undy, President of the Arkansas
Senate is ambitious. lie began
running for the Presidency of the
Senate Of 1918 very soon alter he
was seated in the e,sion of 1913.
lie has his eyes on a political pro-
motion at the present time, but
what it is he has never contided to
those with whom he is closely asso-
ciated in the Senate, but a rough
guess would make him a candidate
for Congress in the Fourth district,
opposing Otis I. Wingo, who is
now serving hIs second term.
1t has been many a day since the
Arkansas Senate was presided over
by one SO versed in parliamentary
procedure, one so forceful in his
rulings, and At the same time fair
to all, with an almost super.human
ability to despatch business, as
Elmer e. Lundy. Every action of
the president Of the 1915 Senate ls
clean, be having been elected upon
a platform which had clean politics
and clean government as its primer
pal plank. President lundy is
ably backed by Senators Calvert,
Moore, Futrell, the parliamentary
veterans, aud IN one respect he goes
farther than any presiding officer
in many terms, in that he command,
the respect, if not the esteem, oi
every member. Rabid in his stand
for prohibition, no advocate of 10
cal option can truthfully clam thai
he has been the victim of partiaiity.

because he works TO a plan aud

business feature Of farming that
gets results.
Right now the dealers all over
the country are taking inventories
and making out reports. The busi-
ness will be reorganized. Unpro.

business will be adjusted to the
times aud a plan calculated to re
turn a years income on the invest
ment will be adopted and followed. &.
Can we as farmers, afford TO do
business on any less methodic basis!
Why not take stock OF what we
have? What is our land honestly
worth? Our buildings and fencesy
Our farm machinery? Our sundry
equipment? Our breeding stock?
Our feeding stock! Our poultry {:
Our stored feed? Our manure:
What is the total value Of our fixed
and working capital: How much
interest must the investment yield:
How much more must We have for
our own work and that Of the
family?
What will it pay to buy now:
What will it pay TO repair
What can We grow that will yield
the amount we ought to make net
profit? How tan we arrange our
work to save expense: How can We
market our produce to better advan-
tlge? What breeding stock 10 we
need TO produce feeders through
which to market our crops? What
seed are We going TO use and when
and where shall we get them? Shall
we make a garden aud what can We
have in it to help keep down our
grocery bills?
wouldn't it he an interesting
thing for the family all to gather
about the table after supper and
figure this out? Weigh everybody's
suggestions, and let everybody help
plan. Then all will feel that they
have an interest and want to help.
That is what makes the plan work

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
FROM LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, Jan. GO George w
Caldwell, of Caldwell 4 Drake, ln'
dianapolis, lnd., former contractors
for the Arkansas State Capitol, is
here in the interest Of his clam be-
fore the Legislature, for balance
he alleges to be due, with interest,
amounting to about ssds, 900, for
work done on the building. Mr..
Caldwell claims that this amount
has beet due aud aecruIng, since
the passage of the Patterson Act in
1909, relieving the Commissioners,
disoharging the architect and can
ceiling the claimants contract.
In the session OF 1909, a bull pas
sed the Senate approprlating sl75,
600 TO pay such amounts as might
have been found due the former
contractors, by a board Of arbitra'
ton consisting Of L. a. MoCullooh,
Jacob Tneber and John Rogers,
who were selected by the State.
But IN the last hours of the session
the bill was defeated by vote Of
two or three in the House. In some
form or another the claim has been
before each Of the two subsequent
sessions, and will soon, il is under.
stood, be brought again TO the at
ienlion Of the General Assembly.
A. ID. McNair, United States
government agrlculturalist, IN con-
necton with the Arkansas depart.
ment, is preparing statistics con-
cerning the price of growing cotton
and corn in Arkansas, aud 50 far as
he has progressed, taking hill land
IN one county, but from forty wide
ly separated FERNS, and using 500
acres IN the calculation, he finds
that IT has cost cents per pound
to raise cotton m the past year. The
government Investigator during the
past year visited practically every
section of the state, and most coun.
ties saw him each month. In max.
ing his present calculation, he has
taken Faulkner county, but the
yield and expense of cultivation in
other counties will he considered
later, and when all are completed
an average for the state will be
given.
The government expert has gone
at his work IN a most business like
manner, charging Tor the use oi
mules and horses, as well as wages
FOR the farm hands, and even rent
on the barns. In the calculation,
10 cents per hour is allowed farm
hands, price paid in most sections
during the past year, but hIgboI
lhan what will be paid next year,
according to Mr.. McNair, who
states that the farmers have already
begun 10 curtail expenses there,
paying only little over half what
was formerly paid.
