Independent Packing Houses

Norfolk Virginia Pilot-While the big packers are placing responsibil- ity for the high cost of meat upon a scarcity of live stock, Texas cattle men are asserting that they would raise more cattle if the big packers, who control the market, would buy them. Here is another argument in favor of the local and independent packing houses, which are already beginning to spring up in some oi the Southern States. particularly in Georgia and Florida. An abundance of nearby and easily accessible mar kets is the one thing needed to open the way for the South to become the great livestock section of the coun. try.

What O,OO0 Votes Would Do

Springfield Republican - Striking as is the political map, it becomss still more impressive when it is con- sidered that less than 10000 votes, a trifie which a big state would hard ly miss, would have swung Oregon, South Dakota, Minnesota and West Virginia to Wilson, leaving Iowa as the solitary Republican bastion be- yond the Mississippi, and confining the Hughes territory to the two noi theastern blocks which Ohio sep arates. To make the map tell the full story, of course, it should be marked to indicate density of popu- iation, the size of the plurality and the normal political complexion of the state, but even the territorial division is not without significance, particularly in view of mistaken ef- forts to raise a sectional issue. It is reminder that America is a big country, and that all parts of it have to be accounted for before the reck- oning is made up. The west has often complained that the seaboard states too little appreciate the size and inn portance of the hinterland; it had it's revenge on election night when New York newspapers were conced- ing Hughes victory without wait ing to see what the West had to say about it.

BASEBALL PEACE
PROVING COSTLY
Owners Will Have to Retrench to
Reach Financial Program Out
lined Few Months Ago.

New York, Feb. 4.-Following the
peace agreement between the Federal
league and organized baseball it was
stated by the big league club owners
that baseball salaries and expenses
would be revised downward. Players
salaries were to be reduced and their
contracts issued from year to year
in place of the long-term agreements.
In the matter of preparing for the
1916 season the owners, both old and
new, appear to have entered the field
of frenzied finance, as S2,120,000 has
been spent for players and clubs. In
buying baseball club stock, procuring
Federal league stars and signing man
ayers, the sums spent surpass all pre-
yious records, and it will require some
clever retrenchment in the months to
come if the owners expect to reach the
financial plane outlined only a few
months ago.
Five clubs in the National and
American leagues alone have paid more
than $4,000 for the privilege of as
suming the top-heavy contracts of 10
of the Federal league stars. The aver
age purchase price of these 10 players
is a trifle more than $4,000, and since
it is certain that the average yearly
salary of at least $4,000, the initial
years outlay will be about $175,OOo.

AUCOSTANA FANS
TO INVADE ALEDO
Followers OF COnrad's Five viii Ride
in Special Coach to See VIII
liam and Vashti Game.

Augustana students are preparing
for big invasion of Aledo next week.
The William and Vashti return basket
ball game is attracting a great deal
Of attention and the plan of the Augie
rOoters is to make the trip in special
car This is the precedent which has
been established the last few years
and each trip has proved a spirited
support for the five.
Tomorrow night Augustana meets
the state Normal team at the college
gym. What the DOWNSTAIRS have up
their sleeves is not known, but Con-
rad has been making preparations for
a strenuous tilt, Last night the boys
worked out for the last time in the
college gym but their eyes are on the
game of next week and they are strain
ing every effort to come back at Vashti
in the pink.
Just who will start the contest is a
subject of conjecture, for it may be
Conrad's scheme to save his man for
the attack against the Aledoans. The
game with the boys from Macomb will
be called at s o'clock with briggs
working the whistle.

MCFARLAND BIKE
RACE IS STARTED
Thousands Bugs Weather Frost and
Fake Fire to See Opening of Six
day Grind in Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 4.-Bike fans are hardy
individuals. About 1000 of them
weathered frost and fake fire last
night to witness the start of the Nc
Farland- Convey siX-day race at the
Coliseum. The frost was outside, the
fire" in the basement, and not per
son knew about it except the luckless
individual who turned in the alarm.
1t was about 10 minutes after Com
modore James A. Pugh had fired the
starting gun that someone in the base
ment dropped butts" into a small
pile of paper. There was no excite
ment.
At 8 o'clock the crowd was as great
as that which witnessed the finish of
the November 144-hour continuous
grind. Of course, there was more or
less paper" to be had for the asking
in every loop cigar store and ticket
Office, but these ducats entitled the
bearer only to general admission, so
everybody who sat down helped to fill
the Golfers.
Only II teams started in the grind,
which will run IL hours day instead
of "a. Pete Drobach, the Boston pro-
fessional, who was injured in a crash
with Bobby Spears Wednesday night,
woke up yesterday to find his left eye
swollen shut. Dr. Roach advised that
he be scratched. This left Frank Cor
ry without partner. So Norman An
derson, the Danish pedaler, was strick-
en- with acute indigestion, and his mate
Ned Young, paired with Cory. This
was the only shift.
At 10 o'clock last night, the end OF
the first hour, the teams had covered
20 miles laps. Cory was leading
Grimm won the first $25 prize.

DUBUQUE Is AFTER
BERTH IN CENTRAL

A movement is on foot in Dubuque
to secure a berth in the Central asso-

Dubuque papers yesterday published
letter from President M. E. Justice on
the situation. Mr. Justice assured the
promoters that if the Rock Island deal
fell through because of unfavorable
action of the national commission that
Dubuque would be given an opportun-
ity to assume a franchise in his cir
cult. The letter was written Jan. 80,
but was not made public until yester-
day.

FITZGIBBONS STILL WINNING
Moline Five Keeps Up Fast Gait. TAX
ing Three of Cross COuntrys-
Harms Team Climbs.
Tri.City Standing.

The ink is still on the trail of Hans
Clemann and his Cub bowling team i'll
the Tri-city league. Last night Gle
manns men wandered out to Hastings
alleys for a tilt with the Edelweiss
team, leaders of the circuit. What
the Edelweiss did to the Cubs was
plenty They smashed the league rec
ord for three games with a count OF
1857, and Art Salzmann broke the
three-game individual record with
SCI, rolling 22S, 209 and 224. Inciden-
tally the Cubs lost three games and
landed in seventh place in the stand
ing. The Cubs rolled three good
games, but the Edelweiss crew ran
wild again. So far this season every
record in the league has been estab
lished against Clemann's Cubs. How
long is it going to LAST" is what Hans
wants to know.
In smashing the team record every
man did his part but Fredeen, who
trailed with 4S4. Salzmann led with
661, Johnson was next with GIG, Hor
ney third with SIS, and Bleuer fourth
with 536
Keeping up the fast pace set several
weeks ago, the FftzGibbon team of Mo-
line took three from the Cross Coun-
trys and the Moliners are still trailing
the Edelweiss by one game. The Pillow
pin boys rolled 919, $50 and 927, which
is considered some speed. At the
Harms alleys the Harms team put
crimp in the aspirations of the Black
hawks Of Davenport, winning three.
The Outings and Martins of Daven-

Good News for Golfers.

New York, Feb A reduction of
10 TO Is cents each in the retail price
of golf balls was announced yesterday
by dealers and was attributed to the
approaching expiration of the Haskell
patent on April H. The cut in the
price of the balls applies to the me-
dunn grades only. 1t is understood
that the reduction will not apply to
the very cheapest balls. which are now
being made to sell as low as 25 cents
each, in order to compete with the Brit
ish shilling ball.
