CHADWICK BEATS
 CONWAY NINE, 8-4

The Conway Invincibles went down in defeat at the hands of the Chad wick team yesterday afternoon, 8 to 4. The locals inability to hit the splitter of Herman Haney caused the lnvincibles' defeat. Our boys had a one-run lead over the visitors when the latter went to bat in the eighth. Dutch" Moore had just relieved Ben McCulloch in the box The first man up singled, the second doubled and the third rapped one over the left field fence for homer, clearing the sacks. Haney pitched the entire game for Chadwick, while Bill Peal, Ben McCulloch, Dutch" Moore and "Goober" Anderson operated on the hurling hill for Conway.

of the statewide prohibition amend
ment in case 1t receives a majority
vote ut the November election, and the
home-rule amendment initiated BY the

Thus far the attorney general has
refused TO render an opinion and there
Is no reason to believe that the states
legal department will give this propo-
sition official consideration unless both
amendments are adopted. In that
event the legislature will doubtless ask
the attorney generals department for
an opinion.
Even the best lawyers In the state
agree that there Is a nice legal ques-
ton involved In ease both amendments
are adopted. Some Of the attorneys
take the ground that the amendment
initiated by the liquor interests which
makes the city and township the unit
instead of the county I'm local option

statewide prohibition amendment IL
adopted.
Others contend that IL majority
of the people favor each amendment
the statewide prohibition amendment
will take precedence and the state

To Avoid "Price-Fixinu."

Henceforth James N. Mcbride, III
rector of markets for the Michigan
Agriculture college, will confine his
activities to bringing producers and
consumers together. In the future no
suggestions will be offered by him to
farmers as TO what prices they ought
to ask for their produce. Attempts
at "price-fxing," or recommending
schedules will be outside his province.
Such Is the essence of new order
which has been laid down by the state
board OF agriculture for the direction
of the college department of market
ing. and ii is believed TO be the result
of charges, currently circulated, that
the department was going into phase
of the marketing problem outside Its
jurisdiction.
In its new instructions to the mar
ket commissioner the board said:
''The field agent in marketing shall
investigate the production and market
Ing of farm products. He shall as
sist in the organization of cooperative
and other associations and afford them
such advice and assistance rs he may ;
shall assist in establishing grades and
standards for market purposes, and
shall give information to Michigan
producers on the market conditions in
the various states OF the Union and
foreign states. He shall gather such
facts as may be available regarding
the relative crop production and the
relative demand, both at home and
abroad, and shall gather and present
to the agricultural producers and the
public all such facts and information
as may be attainable regarding such
production and market condition.
'We do not deem 1t advisable, how
ever, that he enter into the question
or practice Of fixing or attempting ia
fix or establish prices on any agricul-
tural products. We deem II the bust
ness of the field agent In marketing
to supply the agricultural producers
the above information speedily and II,
plain and concise form. so that the in.
dividual may judge when to sell and
what prices to ask"

Wilson made public on Wednesday the
names of seven men whom he has ap-
pointed members Of an advisory COM
mission to be associated with the

Howard Il. Coffin Of Detroit

DR.. Hollis Godfrey of Philadelphia.
julius Rosenwald Of Chicago.
The presidents statement follows:
1.-The council of national defense
has been created because the congress
has realized that the country is best
prepared for war when thoroughly pre-
pared for peace. From an economic
point of view there is now very little
difference between the machinery re-
Quired for commercial efficiency and
that required for military purposes. In
both cases the whole Industrial
mechanism must be organized In the
most effective way.
THE councils chief functions are:
II. The coordination of all forms
Of transportation and the develop
ment of means of transportation to
meet the military, industrial and
commercial needs of the nation.
"2. The extension of the Industrial
mobilization work of the committee
on Industrial preparedness of the
naval consulting board. Complete In
formation as to our present manu-
featuring and producing facilities
adaptable to many-sided uses of mod
ern warfare will be procured. on
alyzed and made use Of.
Zone of the objects Of the council
will be to inform American manufac-
turers as to the part which they car
and must play In national emergency.
"The personnel of the councils ad-
visory members, appointed without
regard to party. marks the entrance
Of the nonpartisan engineer and pro-
fessional man into American gov
ernmental affairs on wider scale
than ever before.
I'm the present instance the time
OF some Of the members Of the ad-
visory board could not be purchased.
They serve the government without
remuneration, efficiency being their
sole objective and Americanism their
only motive

Hope to Come Home Soon.

FL Paso. TeX.+Members of the Thir-

lieye> that they may be sent home soon.
The two regiments are back In camp
here after the maneuvers of the Tenth
division at Las Cruces had been cut
short by orders directing the entire di-
vision to return at once To El Pnso.
The reason for the sudden change in
plans was not made known, but the
men believed that ii meant that they
might return home at once, and there
was almost ms much rejoicing In the
company streets as II orders had come
to entrain for Michigan.
The hopes Of the men were strength
ened when II became known that the
wives Of two Detroit officers had been
told by the wife of n high regular
army officer that they might prepare
10 leave FL Paso for home October 10
or 20; that the Georgia troops would
arrive here October Is. and the Mlchl-
gan troops would return home In the
same cars.
It is believed that the Thirty-first
will be the next regiment to be sent
home, and that 1t will be mustered out
Mt Fort Wayne, instead of Camp Fer
rls. This was limited by Colonel Bar
low

ter waiting four months in Camp Fer

themselves as greatly pleased with the
camp In which the Thirty-first and
Thirty-second Michigan have spent the

tigation, accompanied by Lieutenants
Phillips and Foster OF his staff and
Lieutenants Norton and Hawkes., who
were in charge OF the camp during the
absence OF the Thirty-tirst and Thirty
second regiments OH their hike to Las

All expressed themselves as pleased
with the camp, which they declared
was I'm much better shape than they
had expected to find it.
Batteries A and b made camp be-
tween Camp Stewart and Fort Bliss,
about four miles from the city and five
from Camp Cotton. They are In the
same camp with the Ohio artillery aud

and men express delight at the

May Muster Out Troops.

An order to requisitlon rati0ns for
Michigan troops To be mustered ont
was received by Maj. Walter q. Rog-
ers, camp quartermaster, from the war
department.
Although this order was taken by
many to mean that the mastering out
Of the Thirty-first and Thirty-second
Michigan regiments was planned short
ly, Maj. +. l.. Wells, senior mastering
officer, who has. twice recommended
that the recruit and casual depot be
moved from here to Fort Wayne, In
terpreted 1t as nothing more than
routine order sent out by the quarter
masters department to all mobiliza-
tion camps. II Is highly probable that
the Michigan troops will be mustered
out at Fort Wayne, as inadequate win
ter quarters md facilities for camp
ing here In cold weather, would make
Il decidedly disastrous, 1t Is believed,
for the Guardsmen, especially as they
are coming from warm southern eli
