ORGANIZED BASEBALL AND THE

.N,n. e.sg
 OrganizedEbaseball is queer ami nal; no wonder the FederM' league is getting along, thank you. .a' X
 There's Connie Mack, pilot of the Philadelphia Athletics of the Amer ican league, for instance.
 Also Frank Baker, who once used to make home runs in worlds series
 Mir, Mack bitterly complains about the Federal league, largely because it increased salaries of ball players Maybe it's increased them too much for good of baseball; but that woult bs mountain high over the Mack stan. dard.
 q was gst!ing riiiculously low salary from Connie Mack and decided to quit rather than stand for it any longer" MT. Baker says. "I have been, playing with a semi-protean this season and am making only 2 few hundred dollars less than I die with tho former champion Athletics. It seems that all the Federal league has done for the great and noble ma tional pastime is to increase the bulk of players salaries, build parks, anf reduce the price of admission unti lit is possible to get bleacher seal for ten cents.
 Probably MT. Connie Mack is sure such tactics hurt the game.

STOMACH TROUBLES
 DUE 70 ACIDITY
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST.

 So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, wind, and stom 2ch-ache
 are in probably nine cases out Of ten simply evidence that Fermentation is taking place in the food contents of the stomach, causing the form ation Of gas and acids. Wind distends the stomach and causes that full, oppres- sive feeling sometimes known as heart burn, ,Wlile the acid irritates ana inflames the delicate lining of the stoml ch. The trouble lies entirely in the fefmenting food. Such fermenta- tion is unnatural, and acid formation is not only unnatural, but may in volve most serious consequences if
 not corrected. To stop or prevent fermen ation of the food contents of stomach and to neutralize the acid
 and render it bland and harmless, teaspoCnful of bisurated magnesia. probably the best nnd most effeciv corrector of acid stomach known, should be taken in a quarter of a glass Of hot Or cold water Immediate ly after eating, or whenever wind or acidity is f. It. This stops the fermen- t3tion, and neu;raliZes the acldity In few moments. Fermentation, wind and acidity are dangerous and un- necessary. Stop or prevent them by the use of proper antacid, such as bisuratsd m} gnesia, which can be ob- tained from any druggist and thus
 enable the. stom2ch to do its work properly without being hindered by
 poisonous gas and dangerous acids.

{; NEED .oEsna.iRMERsy CLUE

ss In, announcing the desire of the eX- ,tention department of the University of Arkansas to organize several hum d.ed "farm ers clubs" for the study Of better farming methods and poli- caes practical under farming condi- tons in this state, Dean J. H. Miller of the extension department points out the need for farmers to organize.
 "A farmers club may do nnything it's members may want to do," said Dean Miller, "ani it is not intended to inter- fere with any existing organizations.
 "As a rule, all other classes of peo- pie are better organized than the farmers. There are many excellent organizations for farmers, but most of them have special purposes and most of them are secret. Farming is the most complicated business in the world, and it calls for great know ledge of soils, methods, livestock marketing and numerous other things equally as intricate Farmers are not we'll organized to study their bust ness. The extension division of the University of Arkansas desires to each county of Arkansas, what will be known as, farmers clubs,' the principle purpose of which will be the serious study of farming methods and also of the best methods of mar keting farm produce.
 "The extension division proposes to group the most of these meetings around these farmers clubs. Each club will have president, vice president, secretary treasurer and committees on program, education and marketing and other subjects that may be desired. These clubs will be closely affiliated with the collage of agriculture, and members will receive special literature as de- sired, and each club will be supposed to have ten or twelve meetings "a year sand one all-day meeting to be at tended by one or more speakers from the College Of Agriculture or the United States department of agricul- ture. A printed circular with sug- gestions for a constitution and by l3lws for such club will be Sent upon application to the extension division of the university at Fayetteville"
 Jefferson county already has q farmers club, but it is not nearly as strong as it should be; not nearly as strong as it will be when the benefits to be derived by the indieidual through me,rbeIsnip iii the organize tion and co-operation with othots are llilly appreciased.
 nasmuch as t1e Jefferson County Farmers club is organized and ready a0r busine ss, Dean Miller might be invited to begin his organization Volk here with an ail-s1ay meeting at q istte ttlst AYotld enabie 5he business l.cea aud others irtencsted in tt,e local club to nsaEe plans for a large ai- tendance of farmeJs frons this and adjoining counties.
