Sunday baseball has been started at
a Missouri Baptist church but it Is
different from the game as played on
corner lots. A list of fifty Bible
questions is prepared. One of these
is selected at random and If the Dat
ter give the correct answer he goes
to first base. If he fails to answer
it, he is out. The next batter comes
up and is asked a question. If he
fails to give the correct answer and
the first bascman gives it before the
base runner, a double play is made. A
schedule is being prepared with the
pastor as umpire Of all games.
Farmers had better raise all the
cattle and hogs they can. The al
legged packer trust investigation, now
going on in Washington, holds out no
promises of lower beef prices, even
after the European war, which has
swelled the expectation of American
beef to many time above normal. "A
Meeker, vice-president of the ArmOf
Packing company, was on the witness
stand Yesterday, and said that while
he believed expectation would fall
from its present proportions consld-
erably that this would be partially
offset by an increased demand Tor
cattle on the hoof to restock the
farms of Europe. Beef prices will re-
main UP. Western ranges are beng
gradually eliminated by the passing
of the frontier, and nothing can be
looked to for the cheapening OF prices
An exchange boasts that it circu-
lates in England, because few OF its
old subscribers have moved there, no
doubt. The Index has no desire to
blow about the wide area of its cir
culation. But just by way of illus
tration, to show how widely our sub
scribers ask US to send their papers,
man-good man,too, amply able to
pay for the paper-came IN with
copy of The Index tightly folded IN
his right hand, and after unfolding 1t,
and pointing with stern index tlnger
at an article, said so far as ne was
concerned The Index could go to hell.
And we smilingly replied that he had
lot of friends there who would
doubtless be glad to see the paper
when it arrived. And do you know he
wanted to fight-just about little
thing like that. Oh, the newspaper

That the provisions of the federal !
Sherman antitrust law are to be
rightly enforced in their application
to commerce in this state was abund- |
antlv evidenced at Nampa last Satur- |
day afternoon when a local grocer
called up the milling company and adj
vised it that his supply of flour was
exhausted and that ne desired an or
der filed Immediately. The company |
declined, consequent to the fact that
he was cutting the price of flour and
according to the allegations of the
company creating havoc in the local
flour market Upon the refusal OF the
company to honor his order, the gro
Ger consulted his attorney, who ad-
yised the milling company that ITS
action was a violation of the federas
law, and that he would protect his
client. Evidently impressed by the
legal information given, the growers
order was ut once nonored. The IN
cident was considered by members OF
the lepa. fraternity in Nampa as enc
which is likely to prove of statewide
and to give great I'M
petus to the enforcement of this par
ticular federal statute in sill parts
of the state.
