CLUB LIMIT NOW
LIFTED TO $l,365'
Signing of Flowers by Rail-
readers at $135 Per Month
Cause of Action.

Tho Western association salary
limit has been boosted $65 by Presi-
dent j. w. Bell in letter sent to the
directors OF the league today. In The
same letter he warns all clubs to be
within the new S1,365 limit and the
l4-player limit by May /, the limit
prescribed in the national association
rules
Bells Explanation.
Eoosting of the salary limit is ex-
planned in his letter as follows:
AT the meeting in Muskogee in
January permission was granted
penison to employ Leo Hellman at n
salary of $75 per month as road sec
retary in addition 10 giving him s75
as player OF the Denson club.
AS you know. this permission WAS
granted by the directors Of the league,
hut | supposed when Hellman was re-
leased TO Sherman, was cancelled: but
Information has just come TO hand
that Denison has employed ]. L.
Flowers as ball player for $75 per
month and as road secretary for SOS
per month.
Others Given Same Permission.
Now, as | see the proposition. only
S75 OF Flowers compensation will go
In as salary and the other sos would
make the total salaries of the Denison
club. exclusive Of manager, $1,365.
Denison Is not violating any agree
ment with the league in handling this
matter as they are doing inasmuch as.
as formerly stated, the directors had
granted permission to every other
club to pay as much as s1,365 salaries
per month to their ball players, ex-
elusive Of the managers. If you em-
ploy one of your players as road sec
rotary, his total compensation shall
be included in the salary limit.
~ trust this is understood and I
again warn YOU not to pay more than
the amount stated above and to cut
down to II men. including your man
ager, within twenty days after April
IL, time limit granted by the ma
tioral association to reduce your club
to II men"

Denison's motives may have been Of
the best and President Bell has done
the best thing he can in a very tick
lish position. but II is going TO be hard
for Tulsa and Oklahoma City especial
ly and perhaps for some Of tho other
directors TO swallow the deal with
good grace Belief that the association
had erred in voting at the Musltogee
meeting that Denison should be per
mittod to pay Hlellman stipulated
SUM in addition to his salary az a
player was expressed by many Of the
directors after the die had been cast.
1t had been the intention of some OF
the directors to try to revoke this res
olution at the Denison meeting, but
when Hellman was released to Sher-
man, it was their belief, as well as
that Of President Bell. that the reso-
luton had become imperative. Now
that Denison has taken the stand that
1t still is in force. President Bell has
done the only thing that he could do
give permission to the other clubs
to do likewise.

There are very few pure bred cattle
offered for sale Good high grade
cows, two to six years old, weighing
70J to 500 pounds, vary in prices on
the farm from SIS to $40. Yearlings
past, weighing 500 to 800 pounds,
$50 to s45. Calves. heifers or steers.
weighing ESQ to 400 pounds, $50 to
$50 and two year old steers weighing
roo to 500 pounds, so to S65. The
high figure includes grade animals
that are as good as can be found
any place, and the low figure good
grade cattle. These prices apply to
both tick infested and tick free
cattle The drouth includes an area
of both, so we can direct men to
either class of cattle Most of the
cattle on the Fit. Worth yards are
the culls of the herds, although
there are a ew carloads we'll bred
cattle that sell at about the above
figures.
1t is to the buyers advantage If
he can buy several carloads. The
cattle will usually be found in herds
of several hundred or thousands and
the owners of such large herds are
not always interested in single car
load shipments, but he will give
good figure TO the man who wants
several hundred head. If you only
desire one carload, try to come with
other men, so the group viii be buy
ing several cars. We have several
men who will sell on the farm in
carload lots to buyers who come
alone.
To go to the drouth area, you will
have to go through FIT. Worth. If
you cannot find the cattle desired on
the market, we will direct you to
men in the communities that have
the cattle to sell. In the daytime

IMPORTANT

To all agents:
II is very much 10 be regretted on
the part of all who are interested IN
the promotion of boys and girls
clubs that have to announce at this
time that the annual meeting OF the
club members in Little Rock this fall
will have to be abandoned To those
who are familiar with the conditions
here in Little Rock ! am sure 1t VIII
ne quite clear.
Since the announcement in the
early part of the year that the boys
and girls would be brought here as
usual. under the auspices OF the
Board OF Commerce, conditions have
arisen, due TO our country being at
war. which were not anticipated at
that time-conditions which now
make it impracticable. if not almost
impossible, to entertain the boys
and girls in this city. The location
of Camp ike, with $4,000 soldiers,
and with thousands OF people who
will naturally come and who have
already come, as a result Of the To-
cation Ol the camp hciCs Nh~ POPN-
Iation of the city has almost, if not
entirely doubled
Even at this early date. before the
entire body OF soldiers have arrived,
il is almost impossible to secure
rooms, and the Board OF Commerce
aside from the many other duties
Il is performing, through whose aus
pices the meeting was 10 have been
held, is now busy placing from 10
10 20 people in the city every day
The homes that heretofore have
been keeping the boys and girls are
throwing open their doors to the OF
ficers and their wives. BY the time
the meeting was TO have been held
Il is predicted every available room
in the city will be occupied. People
who have never heretofore kept
roomers are taking them The hotels
are full and running over even now
so it is simply a question OF being
able to entertain the boys and girls
to find rooms for them, and the situa-
ton is such, or will be such, that II
will be almost impossible. if not en-
tfrely so, to entertain them.
II is not question of whether the
Board OF Commerce or the City OF
Little Rock wants to have the boys
and girls come They are just as
.snthusiastic over 1t as they have
ever been, but they do not want to
The courier-index., 1917-09-21

have them come here and then be
unable to care for them. Moreover,
the railroads. which have heretofore
given transportation, have so far
failed to signify their desire to CO.
operate in this manner, due to the
heavy traffic of all sorts on account
of war conditions.
AS above stated, all of the con-
ditions mentioned were not anticipat-
ed when it was announced that a
meeting would be held. / am quite
sure that everybody concerned, the
agents and the boys and girls, will
understand and appreciate the situa-
ton.
We must all make some sacrifice
in this war. In other words it is
DUTY now rather than pleasure,
and / am quite sure that every boy
and girl club member will look at
this matter in the right light and will
not allow this little disappointment
TO discourage him, but that they will
feel that by giving up this anticipat-
ed trip they will be, as it were, rem
dering a patriotic duty to ther coun-
try. 1t should not be understood
that the calling off of this meeting
means that the idea of having the
boys and girls come here will be
abandoned altogether, for after the
war conditions are over, it is hoped
that we will resume our annual
meetings
suggest that you publish this
letter. or a part of It, in your county
paper, in order that the boys and
girls may get this information.

Dear Sir:
The drouth area OF Texas is not
relieved. They have had few small
rains in several sections, but not
enough to reli We the shortage OF
grass or feed.
From all OF these sections cattle
men are shipping the calls of their
herds to market. and are holding the
good grade cattle as long as they
have any pasture or feed. The Tex
as cattleman knows they are profit
able cattle and he has been trying
to keep them. He figures the high
grade cattle will be high priced ana
scarce next spring.
Don't think he is pricing them
dirt cheap because the Texas cat
tleman will let them die before ne
viii let a man buy them extremely
cheap. But he is pricing them
cheap enough so men in Arkansas
who have pastures and feed can
make good money on them.
Most OF the cattle are grade Here
fords, although we can locate either
grade Shorthorn or grade Aberdeen
ngus. All are thin in condition.
