AMBASSADOR WAS MERELY
 DEAD, AND THAT'S ALL.
fBy United Pressl

LONDON, March 20. - When the late Russian ambassador, Count Benckendorff, lay on his death bed the London newspapers were keenly interested in his condition.
 One reporter, somewhat more per istent than his rivals. made almost hourly trips to the embassy to receive bedside bulletins. Each time he ap- peared he was informed by a majestic English flunkey in gold lace that there was "rahly no chynge in his excel. leney's condition. Quite nothing to report" After about six weary rounds between his office and the embassy, the reporter became suspicious of the monontony of the buffers reply. and said he'd just sit down and wait until there was some change.
 But, rahly, sir" remonstrated the flunkey, "there1l be nothing further to report. His excellency died two hours ago."

INDIAN PAS N G AS STAR BALL
 PLAYERS

(By II. c. Hamilton, United Press)
 NEW YORK, March 21.-There is always something touching about the passing of an old-time baseball player, one of the men who grew up with the game and saw it develop into the sport of the nation. It was so with Chief Bender, just as it has been true of all other ball players, and there is just a shade more of emotion in his pass ing, for it leaves only one Indian of prominence in the major league.
 Strong, healthy, quick, drilled in out door sports by inherited rivalries, the Indian never has been able to com of baseball. Many hundreds of the copper skinned men have been called. but very few of them have reached the pinnacle of perfection in the majors Bender was one of the most prominent members of his race who ever played baseball, and Chief Meyers is another. Jim Thorpe, wonder though he is at other sports, is nothing more than fair ly good as a ball player. Sockalexis will recall glorified athletics to many an old time fan, but he passed as they all did Chief Johnson was a wonder ful pitcher, and might still be if he had cared to keep himself in condi. tiOn. Bender was purely a product of the Connie Mack school. He was picked up after making a wonderful record for team at Harrisburg, Pa. and then after a summer of illness and season of no success, he blossOmed It was his work that did more than anything else to drive the Athletics to pennant in 1911, and then he came through with worlds series victory practically unaided when Jack Coombs was stricken down. His work held up the Mackmen when everything else was going bad, and his final effort in the 1915 worlds series was a crowning attempt to pull his team from defeat Connie Mack dropped him at the same time he did Jack Coombs, and both the master hurlers passed into the National league even tually-Bender after spending a sea. son with the Federals He wasn't much of pitcher, but he had used his experience to good efefct and he was considered about half the strate. gical board for the Phillles.

The meteor display Thursday night

as the ball of fire with its binding
glare and trail of fire appeared fol-
lowed by a rumbling sound. The dis

witnessing the same. The phenomen-
on has caused considerable specula-

Answer to Market Problem.

In the building of cooperative store
houses in the smaller towns lies the
big solution of the fruit and vegetable
marketing problem, which would help
to do away with the charging or any
holdup prices for these products, ac-
cording to the experiment truck crops
man at Iowa State college. 1t is lack
of storage facilities on the part OF the
grower and local dealer that is. IN
part responsible for the present high
price of potatoes. he says.
Few growers have good storage eel
lars. They must. therefore. sell early
and lose any margin they might have
made by storing and selling at more
favorable time. Moreover, few local
merchants have good storage facilities
for fruits and vegetables. Conse'
uuently. if they put in large quantities
of products there is heavy shrinkage
for which the consumer must pay
Many jobbers simply buy from week
to week. which is an expensive prac
tice and the burden Of which also
falls on the consumer.
The one man in the entire market
ing circle who is equipped to buy at
favorable price is the commission mer
chant. He is therefore master OF the
situation.
