NEW YORK, April 12.-Tweniy-
five thousand small boys skunk into
the attic today and got the augur
out of Pas tool chest. They spent
most of the morning boring holes
through the wood and concrete fen
ces surrounding the eight biggest
parks where that famous and we'll
known sport. Baseball, will blossom
again this afternoon.
While this has nothing to do with
the story, the fact remains that the
small boys, together with some ZOO,
600 he's and she's will be on hand
when eight umpires clear eight nus
ky throats and bark "PIay BALI in
the American and National Leagues
this afternoon.
These 100000, having passed the
age of boring holes in fences, will pay
to get in and thus start the change
pouring into baseball Golfers at the
beginning today of what the mag
mates say will be record breaking
year.
Old Doc Prosperity, with little
peace dove serum, has innoeulated
the fans, the magnates say, and all
are cured of the malady that has
proved so costly for the last four
years-Federalitis.
Sport writer's, players and just
plain fans united with the magnates
in their prediction that 1916 base
ball will not only drive war, Mexico
and the justly famous petticoat fash
ions out of the newspapers and pub
lie mind, but will stack up bank rolls
that will repay old Mr.. o. Il. for the
wads of change lost in the conflict
with the Feds.
The absence of the Federals as a
third contender, and the spirit Of
friendship that now permeates or
ganized baseball is new factor.
New millions are backing the game.
The Chicago Cubs--whales have the
power of the mail order house, the
restaurant trust in the middle west,
the packing house interests and the
chewing gym trusts behind them.
And Charlie Weeshman, the con-
trolling factor in this combination OF
national and federal league players,
says he will spend much money If
necessary. This same spirit, WEIGH
man says, is backing the other teams,
though none of the others could sit
IL a game of freezeout with Weigh
nan.
when the season opened today
only three teams were practically the
same last year-the Chicago White
sox. the Washington Americans and
the Phillies. The others, which
have recruited new players from the
orstwhile Feds, didn't look the same.

uniform. Joe Tinker. Moderecai
Brown and score Of others. once
famous in the big leagues before
they flocked TO the Feds, were back
in O. b. uniforms again.
Along with the Cock Robins,
blashing violets. colds-in-the-head,
poets and other signs of spring. the
baseball prophets awoke from a
long. long sleep today. They admit
tod. however. thet even though they
we're prophets they couldn't guess

UurryInp The Corn Crop,

with few exceptions as to certain
crops or localities the present season
is. like the last, unfavorable to the
best growth and development Of farm
crops. Perhaps the most seriously
retarded to date is the corn crop,
How can recurrence of last years
result. when tens Of thousands Of
bushels were caught by frost before
it was ripe, be prevented? Perhaps
nothing Will insure 1t. but its growth
and maturity may be hurried much
If the proper effort is made. Let the
cultivator be kept going constantly
when the soil is dry enough Aera-
ton of the soil tends to dry and
warm it, and helps to liberate plant
food, causing more rapid growth.
Second. the application Of additional
fertility by top-dressIng with fertilIz-
crs Is to be recommended. This. when
well worked into the soil. affords
available plant food and enables the
corn to make more rapid as we'll as
stronger growth, insuring earlier ma
turity
1t must not be thought that this
additional expense and labor contrib
utes only to early maturity. In most
instances the Increased yield will
more than pay tho expense.

Talking ut Random.

The president made the following
astounding statement TO an audience
in Detroit recently: An act was
recently passed in Congress, opposed
by some Of the most intelligent bust
ness men of the country refer to
the federal reserve act, by which
we succeeded in taking control out
Of a small number Of men. And now
the very men who opposed that act
admit that it saved panic when
the war broke out"
Can 1t be possible that the presI-
dents memory Is so short that he
does ont recall what happened so re-
Gently as less than two years ago?
or does he merely talk at random
without stopping to think Of what he
is saying? If he had refreshed his
memory a bit he would have found
that the war broke out in the early
days of August, 1914, a little further
investigation would have brought
realization of the fact that the fed
eral reserve act did not become eff
iectlve until November l6, 1914.
The federal reserve act did not
save a panic when the war broke
out, as the president apparently
would have the country believe. The
financial stabilizer Of the early and
critical period after the beginning Of
hostillties in Europe was the Aldrich-
Vreeland law, passed by previous
Republican Congress and approved
by Republican president. That law
made possible the expansion Of our
currency system to meet the needs
of an emergency.

ScCttonalisn.

The South is dead tired OF free
trade, but the southern people go on,
election after election voting for the
delusion Why? Because the Demo-
cratic leaders force their constltu-
epts to stay in line by continually
brow-beating them with traditional
sect!onallsm. This Is the reason in
a nutshell. Economist.
Nationalism has never appealed to
the South. The political policies Of
that section of the union. have always
been illogical and inconsistent. De-
handing the exercise of national pow
er when 1t was profitable, since the
beginning Of tne government the
South has refused to contribute to
the letter or spirit Of nationality as
set forth in the constitution.
President Wilson is an advocate Of
the states rights theory. He is free
trader. a worthy successor Of the gift
ed John c. Calhoun. They are both
products OF the South, both analysts
of the i'll defined line which separates
tie power Of national government
from The functions which properly
belong to the states. Time and its in
cidents have remanded many Of the
theories Of the South to the past,
but the average southerner still
claims the privilege OF legslating in
the interest of section regardless
of the interests of the nation,
