Comiskey Closes Deal For Purchase OF
Cleveland First Stacker.
Chicago, March 3.-Arnold C. (Chick)
Gandil has been added to the White
Sox staff, and South Side fans are eX-
pected to begin reserving their tickets
today for the worlds series. President
Comiskey Of the Sox closed the deal
for the first baseman Thursday, and
Chick is expected to leave with the
team Sunday night.
The deal for the flrst-sacker has
been on for some time with Owner
Dunn, of the Cleveland club, which OBJ
tanned him from Washington. Chick
was once with the Sox, Comiskey buy
ing him from the Sacramento club In
1910.
He was released the same year and
has since been with both minors and
majors. While with Washington one
of his knees gave him lot OF trouble
and Manager Griffith sold him to
Cleveland, where he played in 140
games last year.
Gandil is recognized as one Of the
best first basemen in the American
League, his bad knee and an artistic
temperament being his only failings.
However, it is pretty certain that he
will play the best ball that is in him
with Manager Rowland and Bill Glea-
son back of him.
Altho President Johnson. Of the
American League, failed to return
from Indiana, plans for military train
ing at the baseball camps were prac-,
tically completed. President Comiskey
announced that the appointment OF
Serg. Walter S. Smiley hai been made
official by Captain Kenney, and Sec
rotary Harridge, >of the American
League, gave out the information that
st. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland. Wash
ington and Philadelphia also had been
assigned drill officers. Colonel Candy
will drill the Red Sox at Hot Springs
in person. The New York Yankees

DEMAND FOR WE'LL TRAINED
SCHOOL INSTRUCTORS is
GREATEST EVER KNOWN.
STATE UNIVERSITY CAN
NOT MEET ALL REQUESTS
More Than 1900 Calls For Teachers
During Year Ending March I, With
1853 Candidates Available Salaries
Shown to Have Almost Doubled Dur
ing Year.

Iowa City, March 3.-Tnat the de-
mand for well trained teachers is con-
siderably larger than the supply is
shown in report just issued by the
State University Of Iowa on it's ac-
tivities in placing students and grad
yates in teaching positions.
In the year from March l, 1915, to
March /, 1917, the university received
1926 calls for teachers, or 307 more
than 1t had received the year before.
The calls came from $50 Iowa COM
munities and 1873 communities outside
the state.
Too Few Candidates.
To fill these calls there were only
.1,16s candidates available, or ass less
than the number Of positions offered.
OF the persons available 62S were for
The other $40 were receptive candi-
dates. qualified to teach and willing
to consider offers, but not particularly
seeking positions.
The fact that the supply was only
45S short Of the demand. whereas it
had been 515 short the year before,
shows that progress toward filling the
needs of the schools is being made.
But the demand continues sufficiently
far ahead of the number of good
teachers available that communities
are bidding against each other for the
services Of the best. AS d result sail
aries of trainet- teachers are rising
rapidly from their former low level.
The salaries paid teachers placed by
the university have increased Is to 80
per cent in the last two years.
Demand Growing.
In practically every field of teach
ing the demand for trained men and
women is increasing. For high school
teachers the calls received at the uni
versity totaled 1927 last year, ITO the
year before; for superintendents or
principals OF large high schools, 1872

In the actual number Of candidates
who gained positions thru help Of the
university there was gain from 251
in 1866 to 3os in 1861. Many
other candidates obtained positions in
dependently. SOME decided not to
teach. and few remained on the list
at the end of the year without the
positions for which they were looking.
Salaries Advanced.
Salaries Of the candidates placed in
creased from $1s5,016 in 1856 to
$2S5,159 in the last year. The aver
age increased from $737 year or So.
month to 1907 year or $50. While
the present average is still consider
ably below what leading educators
believe the salary of the teacher
should be- it is larger than the average
Of the teacher without university prep
aration or its equivalent.

Hopeful q Pulling Dill Thru at Next
Session Points Out That
Park Would Be Accessible to

Avenues Of Travel.
Special to Times-Republican.

Washington, March 3.-One of the
bills lost in the jam at the close Of
congress was one by Congressman
GIaugen carrying q preliminary appro-
priatton Of 100000 for establishment
along the Mdssissippi river in the vi
cinity Of Mcoregor, Iowa, snd Prairie
du Chen, Wis, Ola national park em-
bracing portions. Of Iowa and Wiscon-
fsin and islands in the Mississippi river.
Congressman Haugen has not lost hope,
however, that eventually he will be able
to get the bill thru congress.
In advocacy Of his measure, Con-
gressman Haugen explained that the
bill was designed ito provide suit-
able place on our nations greatest
river for recreation, relaxation and en-
joyment; to set aside q historic and
picturesque spot, = tract Of land rec
ognized by travellers who have visited
it to be one OF the richest in scenic
beauty in the world"
Mr.. Hauge1 added that this park
would be in q section where the ma
tional government has done nothing to
preserve the national scenery, and in
a section where national park would
be most accessible, far more so than
any Of the other national parks.
Accessible to 100000 People.
The scenery along the banks Of the
Mississippi In the vicinity Of the pro-
posed park, Mr.. Haugen said, rivals
in grandeur the scenery along the
Rhine, Of the Italian lakes, and the
fjords Of Norway. Describing the
scenic beauties Of the upper Missis-
sippi Mr.. Haugen said:
"We have 100000 people within
eight hours ride of this proposed
park. We have this magnificent body
of water. the many wonderful colors
of the forest changing with each sea-
son, loveliest flowers, migratory and
song birds, great numbers Of fur
bearing animals, as the nuskrat and
beaver, and fish in great abundance.
In the valleys are living springs
waterfalls, so-called pictured rocks and
sands of great variety. The ponds and
channels Of the islands afford oppor-
tunity for meteor boating, rowing, and
are well adapted for bathing beaches
in the summer time"
As to accessibility Mr.. Haugen
pointed out that not only was the pro-
posed site on the Mississippi river boat
lines. and that railroad facilities were
excellent, but there are the following
highways for motorists registered by
the Iowas highway commission and well
maflred with guideposts: the North
Iowa pike, from Sioux Falls to Nc
Gregor; the Park Highway, from OF
tu1n@a to McGregor; the Geranium
Trail. from Des Moines to McGregor;
the East Iowa Scenic Highway, from
ST. Louis to Minneapolis; the Red

from New Orleans to Duluth.
The proposed site embraces 7,45S
acres and takes In a rough triangle
inclosing the delta Of the Wisconsin
