The Players Strike.

Ball players are entitled to one OF
two things-either a fraternity to look
after their rights or to equal repre-
sentation on the National Commission
that will insure something even more
vital than fair play--which is faith in
getting fair play.
We take no stock in the theory that
the average Son Of Swat is a down
trodden citizen. The ball player rare
ly gets the worst of it. But that doesn't
mean that he should not be in posi-
tion to protect himself against the
worst of it. AS long as he isn't given
equal voting power on the commission.
the fraternity is the next best thing.
But no fraternity should call a
strike except for the gravest reasons.
Unless these reasons are deemed fully
sufficient by the public the player will
suffer most. The public can get along
in some way without league baseball
and the number or magnates to suffer
is exceedingly small. The main force
of the blow would land in 4 resounding
thud upon the ball players neck. If
the matter is vital one, this might
make it worth while. But the main
debate at present appears to be over
a comparatively trivial affair.

Badly Misjudged.

After all, it appears that Les Darcy
has been badly misjudged. 1t was
stated that he ran away from fighting
in Australia to do different sort of
fighting in America. But apparently
one sort of fighting is as highly re-
pugnant to Mr.. Darcy as another
whether it be Australia in the trenches
or America in the ring. He is Il paci-
fist Of the purest type.

Rockingham is alleged by grand jury
witnesses TO have accepted several
substantial brides from the Billings
leys in furtherance of the alleged con
spiracy, and also to have assisted
them TO obtain shipments or liquor
consigned TO other persons.
Tie police chief also is charged with
entering conspiracy with Mayor Gill
and the 'Biliingsleys by which the lat
ter were to receive police protection
Tor their Illicit business.
The federal charge against Hodge is
that ne conspired with the Billingsleys
and other defendants to protect their
whisky shipments, turned them out of
jail, without a guard whenever it was
in his power. aid later saw to it that
liau0r seized was returned to them, al
though it ostensibly had been confs-
Gated

Hodges alleged acts in behalf of the

performed while he was sheriff.
The government charges that
I1odges's greatest use to the syndicate
came when there was danger that Ser.
geart Putnam would seize one OF the
Billingsieys shipments. st those times,
it is alleged. the former sheriff, upon
the ringleader's instructions. would
seize Inc liquor in order to save it
from Putnam and later cause it to be
returned
Between the three high officials and
their minions the protection afforded
the Billings.eys is alleged to have
been so complete that Of the SEQ, 600
worth Of liquor the BIlingsleys admit
having shipped in, only one carload
was confiscated by the police. And
this car, according to the government,
was seized on a tip given direct to
Sergeant Putnam by a rival boot
logger.
incidentally, Putnam is described by
Logan Billingsley as the only man OF
authority on the police force that re
fused graft money when approached.
Putnam, one of the last witnesses
called by the grand jury before Satur-
days indictments, were returned, is
declared to have substantiated a large
part Of the Billingsleys' story to the
| government.
He is expected to prove an i'm
portant witness in the case.
Another sensational allegation BY
the federal authorities is that while
Mayor Gill at the time of the now
famous compromise with the Billings
+ leys declared that he had put the Bill
/ Kingsley out of business, they began
/ operating on a larger scale than ever
before the next day after the agree
ment.
Before the compromise it is
charged, the Billingsleys received only

alleged conspiracy was entered into

The Successful Beekeeper.

College Park, Md, Feb, I'm a
recent correspondence course on bee
keeping issued by the State College of
Agriculture, the writer, E. N. Cory,
says of beekeeping in Maryland, More
bees should be kept in the State, but
only those persons willing to care for
and manage them properly should
think of taking UP this profitable line
of farming.
Bees demand a great amount of
study, thought and sympathetic care
(in their successful management. The
qualifications, therefore, of the bee
keeper, who would be successful,
should be considered with great care"
"In the first place, studious habits
are essential Though the literature
of beekeeping is vast storehouse of
information about the life processes of
the bee, the underlying causes of many
of the activities of the colonies are lit.
tie understood Study Of bees, them.
selves, and the literature pertaining
to them are the cardinal points in
successful beekeeping.
Energy is the second qualification.
Without a study, however, much
energy may be wasted in Improbable
directions. The performance of the
proper operations at the right time is
of vast Importance. Sometimes it may
seem that thing may be put off, but
you may be sure that everything that
Is to be done in the apiary has a
definite time for its accomplishment,
that will not admit of delay. Putting
on supers a day too late may make a
big difference in the amount of comb
honey produced.
Patience is another valuable attri-
butte. Things are sure to go wrong at
times. The honey flow may be bad
for several years at stretch. Patti
ence therefore is of great Importance.
Though these attributes are neces.
sary. they may be developed one or
all, by the mere association with the
bees, the most energetic, patient and
careful workers in the lower animal
kingdom"

FAIRER MILK PRICE POSSIBLE
County Demonstration Agents Do
Valuable Work In Organization
Of Such Associa-
tions.

College Park, Md, Feb. The
rapid growth in the organization OF
COW testing associations in dairy Sec
tions of Maryland during the past year
has been an important part of dairy ex-
tension work In cooperation with &.
e. Wolcott, dairy extension specialist,
county demonstration agents are car
Tying on an active campaign in the
organization of COW testing associa-
tions out of which in many instances
milk producers associations are de-
veloping. The records kept by these as
,ociations working in cooperation with
the county demonstration agents have
made it possible for the dairy farmer
In Maryland to place his business on
more profitable basis and demand an
Increase based on accurate figures re-
garding the cost of producing his milk
and maintaining his herd.
In Montgomery county an associa-
ton representing 565 cows, distributed
through 10 herds was organized last
spring, and is now being followed by a
second organization to meet the needs
Df the dairymen who could not be in
:luded in the first association. Similar
developments are being reported in
other milk producing counties and are
proving most beneficial in welding the
dairy interests and in making better
grade of product possible. Dairymen
are realizing more and more that their
demands for higher prices must be
supported by facts tending to show
that they are producing milk as
economically as is consistent with .rea-
Bonab1e sanitary requirements The
COW testing association and the Coun-
ty Demonstration Agent are opening
the way to more efficient milk produc-
ton and fairer returns. The dairy
man who is not member of a COW
testing association has no one but
himself to thank for poor returns for
his capital and labor if he has not read
the Agricultural Experiment Station
bulletin ons Cow Testing Associations,
consulted his County Demonstration
Agent, and urged his neighbors to join
with him in forming local associa-
tion.
