The game was close from start to finish and the Cornell five showed flashes of return to form from their recent bad slump, which has placed them in 8 tie for third place with Yale, last years pen nant holders. The league season closed with this game and it is un- likely that there will be play off of the tie for first place.

Auto VS, Baseball,

Swinging back to our original sub jcct, How" you may ask, docs autom obiling hurt players game?
 In two ways. First, there is the tendency on the hot day to rush through the game for late afternoon spin, and then to follow this up by long ride that night-which means stopping off at some road house or tavern for refreshments.
 Again, too much automobiling has tl tendency to make the eyes fiutter, driving into the wind, and this is likely to affect ones batting.
 The automobile is undoubtedly a great little institution, provided you have the purchase proce and the needed change at hand to face the rpkeep.
 But for the ball player the auto mobile is another affair.

Alleged failure of the city author
tiles Of Tumwater to enforce quar-
antine against a family in which
there was child sick from scarlet
fever, resulting in spread of the
disease so that a child in another
family was taken ill and died, is the
basis of a claim for $5,189.65 dam
ages preferred against that city this
week by Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Tabor,

contracted the disease from a play
mate and died within a few days.

SEE PARTY FIGHTS
IN NEXT CONGRESS
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
OF BOTH HOUSES WILL BE
BADLY SPLIT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 90
Political seers foresee nothing but
mutiny in both houses of the Sixty
fifth congress, which convenes next
December, unless called in extra ses-
sion by the president next March.
With house Republicans in revolt
against James r. Mann's leadership,
Progressive Republicans fighting the
Old Guard in the senate, and the SEN
ate Democrats widely split over a
successor to Leader John w. Kern,
nothing but inner party strife is in
prospect for the next congress.
The election over, both Republic
ans and Democrats have deliberately
cast aside party harmony and appor-
toned the next two years to the pay
ment of old scores within their re-
spective parties. Here is the way the
three separate revolts line up:
Representative Gardner of Massa-
chusetts, Roosevelt supporter in the
last pre-convention primaries, is after
the scalp Of Republican Leader
Mann, whom he accuses of being
"pro-German." Progressive Repub-
lican congressman, including Repre-
sentative-elect Medlll Mccormick of
Illinois, are expected to join the
Gardner faction.
Progressive Republican senators
have buried the peace pipe and dug
up the hatchet and renewed their old
feud with the Old Guard. In the
next congress they will have Hiram
johnson, senator-elect from Califor-
mia. a. an ally, and war exceeding in
fury the 1912 days is anticipated.
The South and West, which re-
elected the president, have already
broken with each other in the senate
and are engaged in a bitter row over
the election of q successor to Leader
Kern, whose term expires March 4.
The Southern Democrats want Sena-
tor Martin Of Virginia and the West
is supporting Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, who managed the Democratic
campaign in the West.

TO STUDY TRADE
CONDITIONS OF WAR
BUSINESS MEN WILL ASSEMBLE
NEXT MONTH TO CONSIDER
COMING PROBLEMS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 29.-
Following an urgent call to partici-
pate in a discussion of pressing ma
tional questions now facing Ameri-
can business, representatives of COM
mercial organizations all over the
country have signified their intention
OF being present in larger numbers
than probably ever before, at the
fifth annual meeting of the Chamber
OF Commerce of the United States to
be held here January 81, February
and 2.
The war having opened a new era
in world commerce, business men are
facing conditions without precedent
which will have to be met at it's close.
1t Is argued this state of affairs will,
Of course, affect the nations foreign
trade and it will also have far-reach-
ing influence upon domestic business.
Accordingly, the railroad situa-
ton, national defense, and many
other questions of paramount i'm
portance are included in the SUBJ
jects to be discussed at the meeting.
1t is because these issues are so urg-
ent and of such vital importance to
the future development of the United
States that the unusually large rep
resentation promises to be in at
tendance. Business men to the
number of from 1000 to 1900, Sc
lected as delegates and alternates by
the commercial bodies affiliated with
the National Chamber, will be pres
ent.
In dealing with the preparation
for conditions after the war, promi-
nent speakers will discuss separate
phases, such as business, finance.
transportation, and education for
foreign trade. OF particular inter-
est will be that part of the discus
sion devoted to the railroad situa-
ton.

HIGHER WAGES FOR
100000 WORKERS
WIDESPREAD PROSPERITY GIVES
$500, ,OOO, 900 EXTRA no MANY
EMPLOYEES,

Not less than 5,75O,000 salaried
employees and wage workers have oc-
casion to rejoice during the holidays
over the widespread prosperity pre-
vailing in the United States.
This estimate of the number of
persons affected by the increases in
salaries a1d wages, bonuses, profit
sharing plans and insurance benefits
rs made by Secretary of Labor Will
son, based upon reports received by
his department.
While no estimate of the aggre-
gate amount of money distributed
under these various plans for helping
employees to celebrate the present
holidays and to enable them to
meet the high cost of living is made
by the government, 1t is generally es-
timated that it will exceed $3OO,OOO,-
900.
The employees who have benefited
from these concessions made by indi-
clude almost every variety of labor
clerical forces, skilled workmen, mill
workers, miners, railway employees,
cotton, silk, worsted and factory
hands and common laborers.
The reports to the department of
labor indicate that the increase in
wages average about 10 per cent,
while the bonuses to salary employees
range from s to so per cent.
The Industrial enterprises have
contributed the larger part Of the
aggregate increases in the way of
wages and salaries, and 1t is signifi-
cant of the universal prosperity
which the country is now enjoying
that every variety Of undertaking is
represented in the distribution OF
benefits.

It is seen in the fact that the state

SHOW GOOD
FARM EXPERTS Do
EXTENSION WORK DEMONSTRAT-
ING ITS VALUE IN DEVELOP.
ING FARMING BUSINESS.

AS a result of the realization that
improved methods may be brought to
the attention of the farmer more eff
fectively by personal contact and dem
onstration than in any other way, the
county agricultural agent work was
begun in the Northern and Western
states in 1911 by the United States
department of agriculture, the state
agricultural colleges, and county
agencies, in cooperation.
During this year only five county
agents were operating in the North
ern and Western states, but by July
1, 1915. the number had increased to
419, the work having been taken up
in every one of the Northern and
Western states, says the Weekly News
Letter of the department. While the
general nature Of the activities of the
agents is the same throughout the
territory, the provisions under which
the states assist in the work vary con.
siderably.
In some states the cooperation Of
organized groups of farmers in the
counties IL q prerequisite to contribu-
ton of state funds, and in many in
stances these farmers contribute
directly substantial part Of the nec-
essary expense money. Even where
the existence Of such organizations is
not required many have sprung up
and are playing important parts in
the success Of the county agent work.
Money for carrying on the county
agent activities is contributed by the
federal government through the
United States department of agricul-
ture and the agricultural extension
act fund; by the states, usually
through the agricultural colleges; by
county supervisors; by local farmers;
and by public-spirited individuals and
organizations in both county and city.
The average total annual budget for
the work of each county agent is
about $4,000.
The County Agents Plan of Work.
The work of the county agents va
ries with the needs of their communi-
ties, but in general is addressed to the
improvement of agricultural methods,
practices, and conditions wherever
possible through demonstrations,
talks, and publications, and through
calling attention to good methods
already practiced by the best farm
ers Of the community. The needs Of
the county usually are discussed by
the agents with state extension work
leaders, county officials, and leading
farmers. and project program
adopted.
Farmers are then found who are
willing to cooperate in the demon
stration of certain improved meth
ods and, when results of the demon
strations are apparent, field meet
ings are held in order that the farm
ers may see the results and deter
mine their value. The agent also
