Negotiate at Dinner

Although this new contract had
been discussed for some time, McGraw
had not expected to sign so soon. Pres
ident Harry Hampstead, however,
saw no reason for delay. Hampstead
was in San Antonio when McGraw
brought the Giants here Saturday.
They talked business last night and
the announcement was made after a
late dinner given by McGraw at the
ST. Anthony Hotel. He signed the
contract just before this dinner
The new contract becomes effective
at once, although McGraw's old agree
ment covered this season. After the
season of 1912, he signed a five-year
contract at a straight salary of $780,
200 year. Even then he was the
best paid man in the game, but he
now ranks above any other club or
league official Ban johnson, presi-
dent of the American League, gets
$25,000 a year, but there are some
club owners who draw larger stipends.
1t is understood that President
Hampstead, who represents the ma
jority stockholders of the New York
Club, draws down salary of $40, 900.

San Antonio, Tex, March 26.-John
McGraw, manager of the Giants, be-
came the highest -salaried man in
baseball late Saturday night, when he
signed new fiVe-year contract with
the New York Giants on terms that
will make his income from the game
between 100000 and $4,000 year
Under the contract McGraw Vir-
tually becomes a partner with the
stockholders of the club, as a straight
salary is guaranteed him, said to be
$4,000. In addition to this he will
share in the profits of the club over a
certain figure. In this respect the con-
tract is really a bonus arrangement,
as the profits will be regulated by the
standing of the Giants in the National
League championship race.

Seattle, Dec. 1.-FOllowing the de-
cision of the appellate division Of the
supreme court of New York ruling
that the state has legal powers during
the war to close saloons in the vicin-
ity of army camps, the people of
Washington may call upon the gov
ernment to close up the Seattle sa-
looms as a menace to the soldiers at
Camp Lewis.
John McCourt, special representa-
tive of the War Department, asserted
that government quarantines barring
all American soldiers and sailors from
Seattle would be ordered unless the
city "cleans up"
McCourt told mass meeting last
night that the government wants the
city to wage continual warfare against
vice and disease.
Later the meeting adopted resolu-
tions urging the city council to i'm
peach Mayor Gill for alleged laxity in
dealing with vice.

now ready for distribution.
In October milo experts from Berk-

milo seed selection demonstrations.
The Valley farmers, as usual, enthu-
siastically received the valuable hints
on selection and growing of milo.
From the best fields visited the heav-
lest and most even heads were Sc

now in the hands of Farm Adviser

This is the paramount question

Directly opposite stands are being

the fuel administration.
The representatives of the railroad
war board, the priority committee on

administrations met today in an eff
fort to solve the question.
The food administration claims the
country will be brought to the actual
point of hunger if fuel moves ahead
of food. In the meanwhile eastern
railroads suggest that tire fuel ad-
give preference in shipping
coal to clear congested terminals, leav-

AMAZING CROP
OF SORGHUM IS
GROWN IN N0.6
l. w. M'GREW, NEAR THE DATE
SCHOOL, BEATS ALL RECORDS
BY GROWING OVER FORTY
SIX TONS OF SUGAR SORGHUM
PER ACRE.

Farm Adviser Sullivan yesterday
measured up the sweet sorghum crop
of l. w. McGrew, near the Date
school, in No. 6, and found that his
crop is the heaviest yet measured,
the yield being 46.6 tons per acre of
silage.
With this result in view, it is prob
able that with experience farmers can
average fifty tons of excellent sor-
ghum silage per acre, planting the
see dof the wonderful Texas sweet
sorghum.
John C. Martin, publicity agent of
the Southern Pacific Land Depart
ment, was here today, drawn by the
stories coming from the Valley of the
large crops of the new silage.
Farmers growing the new silage are
cutting the heads to save the seed for

British Headquarters in France,
Dec. 1.-The Germans began a tre-
mendous turning movement yesterday
in the Cambria region, but the Brit
ish were able to pull back most Of
their troops and guns at the first at
tack to save them from being caught.
The British destroyed certain num-
ber of guns to prevent their capture.
As far as can be learned, the Ger
mans captured no British guns, and
the casualties of the Teutons were
exceedingly large. The British lost
considerable number in killed and
wounded. The enemy gave the Brit
ish an uncomfortable hour or two, but
the situation today is not one to cause
particular uneasiness. The German
plans were frustrated unless unfore-
seen events arise.
The British are continuing their
counter. attacks. ~
