seven hundred players unless their
demands are granted before the start

out of baseball that the fraternity
would be crushed and that every
player in the American league would
be obliged 70 sign contract before

RIDING ENTHUSIASTS

New Years day was to follow a pa
I'er trail layed few hours before
the mad cash across the deser-
started. At frequent intervals there
was a break in the trail. and tna
scouting abilities # the iidefs Wds
severely tested. Following the .raii
did not appeal to all the riders. so II
is now planned to have a man and D.
woman carry a Govt bell. They Will
be given a few minutes start, the
rest of the riders endeavoring to
overtake them. The first man ana
woman who tag the bell carriers will
then be st" and win be allowed to
carry the hell. until they are in turn
overtaken by a couple.
It is thought that by This plan.
Goth men and women viii have equal
opportunities of winning.
The chase will start from the south
end Of the Central avenue bridge. and
thence west up the river bottom. It
is probable that the river viii bc
crossed in several places. adding a
little dampncss to an ordinarily dry
ride.
There Is no danger If any one

DEFENSE SOCIETY URGE
 CITIZENS GIVE SERVICE
Immediate Action Necessary Says Their Appeal-Mrs. W. E. Waller is Invited to Serve on WOman's Natl Committee

"Germany today is mobilized to the last man and woman and if America is to win this war America must mo- blllze not only men at the front but those at home," thus the American Defense Society continues in an ap- peal to all American citizens as fol- lows:
 We are at war with the leading military nation of the world. The first of our troops are now under fire in France. Our sailors on the high seas are facing the attack of sub marines. We have established a line of troop ships. The National Guard has been called into federal service. We are building enormous army camps We have registered 1O,O0O0OO young men for service.
 Congress has voted a war credit of billions. There is S64O 100000 for airplanes alone. The navy yards are working three shifts day. The ship building companies are launching a fleet of wood and steel. The Presi- dent, the cabinet, congress, the men in the navy, those in the trenches, and the great army in training camps are all doing their part. But that is not enough.
 Since August, 1914, German mili- tary forces have trebled their recruit ing capacity. Today German domin- ion extends from the North Sea, through Constantinople, to the Per sian Gulf. German armies are in Bel gium, France and Russia. German aviators are repeatedly bombardng the City of London. German subma- rines have sunk millions of tonnage. Atrocities
 Well mater is poisoned, aged citi- zens are coldly shot down, women and girls are outraged in the public squares and little children are bayon- eted, when German troops enter the towns of Belgium and France. It is we'll that we should bear all this in mind, for such atrocities go to show the kind of an enemy our troops are now facing in the trenches.
 Tt is further vital to our immediate we'll being, and to our future, that We
The Prescott daily news., 1917-09-26

know of such uncivilized warfare and of such savage ideals of strength; above all, when we find German writ ings today filled with dreams of world dominion, not only in this present war but for the hereafter as we'll. The danger is one that threatens the inn mediate safety and future of our democracy.
 "ln this war, if you cannot go to the front, you will hardly be content unless you are doing your share at home, especially when you read of the great disaster in Russia and of the great inroads of the German sub marines.
 Germany is mobilized today to the last man and woman, and if America is to win this war, America must mo- bilize, not only men at the front, but those at home. If you are one of those at home, you will want to know how you can best help to back up the men in the trenches. Service at home does not necessarily mean that you give up family obligations, or the time necessary for earning your live lihood. Such service can and should be given in your spare time.
 Immediate Action Necessary
 "The first thing you can do is to concern yourself with the desperate activities of the German empire in this country. Some of these activities are political; others are attempts at dy- namiting our war plants, spreading

KEEP HOGS UP AND EN-
 COURAGE WHEAT GROWING

l am pleased to note the interest the hardware men and business men are taking to increase the acreage in wheat culture for the purpose of making our county more progressive, and doing our part in winning the war.
 There are some knotty problems confronting the farmers that will re- quire the hearty cooperation of all good citizens to overcome, if they hope to raise any acreage of wheat that will be of any material benefit in doing our part toward the worlds supply of food.
 One of our greatest difficulties in raising wheat in this country is the custom of turning our hogs out to forage for their living in the fall and winter months. l do not believe there is one farmer in ten who has suffic- tent fencing to keep foraging hogs off their wheat fields, so it would be utterly useless to SOW wheat under such conditions.
 What can be done to enforce the hog law, so that we may safely raise wheat? Some newspaper publicity on this subject would be of interest to prospective wheat growers. CONSTANT READER.

 If you are an American citizen, if you believe in the ideal of life, liberty and happiness for which our fore fathers gave their lives in the Revolu- tion; if you are not at the front-then it is high time that you aid in patriotic American work at home by enrolling in an organization like the American Defense Society which is made up of citizens who, without thought of per sonal gain, are giving their time, en- thusiasm and money to the cause of American liberty"

 Agriculture.

AgrlcuIluiS'
 1ittle Rock Sept. 25.-The gins are .r rDpning and we are kept pretty n.r nO crading cotton for the farmers. T TInIor the new gin law the ginner ..4 take two samples from the bale
 ;t is oinned and seal them. The .4or,er cets one of the samples, and .t ho wants to he can send it by mail ., mo or the U. s. Bureau of Markets, ri++le Rock. and it will be graded and
 rorort of the grade and length of s+one sent back the next day. This will enable the farmer to know ex- ootlv what he has to sell. He can koen posted on the value by reading tbe market quotations.
 It will be worth from one to five million dollars to the farmers of Ar kansas if they will sell their cotton m grade. Very few cotton buyers outside of the cities know how to Crade cotton. and consequently have not been able to buy cotton or sell it on grade. We have the services of a government cotton classer to grade vour cotton, and it will cost you noth- ing for the grading.
 The government classer grades cot ton on the government standards. The government standards have been adopted by all the principal cotton ex- changes and markets in this country. When your cotton is graded by our government cotton classer it will not be necessary to cut your bale and take sample. The ginner is under bond to take a fair sample. When it is graded you know the grade and staple. You can guarantee the grade and staple when you offer it for sale That is better than anybody's sampling.
 It is burning shame for the farm CTS of Arkansas to raise and market crop worth a hundred million dol lars and not know the value of their pr0duct except what is told them by the local buyer. The shame is only the greater by the fact that very few of the local buyers know the value except what is told them by the cot ton buyers from the points of concen- tration. Not one bale in ten is sold by the farmer on grade, and not half IS sold by the merchants on grade, but shipped out in lots without grading.
 We now have a system of grading that is free to the farmers or mer- chants and either one can send in the gn sample and get it graded and men sell on a guarantee of grade.
 good many cotton buyers and snners are trying to discourage the farmers about the law and the sys- em' If the farmers and local mer- Vnants could know how much they nave both lost in the past they would understand some of the knocks against he law, Some ginners claim the buy CTS Will ret buy on gin samples, and uuy3f2 VII no doubt insist on cutting the bale and taking sample.
