Well, the Griffmen are gone. Their
home stay was not as successful as
had been expected. Bad weather held
up many games and attendance in
at other contests was
poor owing to the chilly air. Baseball
is a hot weather game and fans can
not be blamed for staying away when
there is every desire to get next to
the old radiator. Seventeen games
will be played BY the Griffmen before
they return May 20.

Ii Is One of the Most Progressive OF
German municipalities.

Manufacturing center of Rhenish,
Prussia, from which American and
England annually received $1,000, 600

war, Is one of the most progressive
of modern German municipalities.
It's population at the outbreak of the
war was 10000, having increased
fourfold during the last half of the
nineteenth century.
"Gllike most cities dating from

THE city is situated three miles
from the Rhine on the left bank and
is "a miles northwest of Cologne and

harbor of Linn which it owns.
The prosperity of Krefeld In at
tributed to the fact that 1t offered an
asylum to Protestants and MennOn-
ties in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, these peoples, fleeing from
e religious persecution. brought with
them the art of velvet, linen and
silk weaving, the last named being
introduced from Holland in the eigh-
teenth century. Now, or at least in
the prosperous times just before out
break OF the war, there were more
than 5000 looms in operation in the
city, producing fabrics valued at SEQ
600, 600 annually. Other industrial
activities of the community included
the manufacture of cellulose, chem
icals. leather, dyes, carpets. crevats,
cotton goods and machinery. The
krefeld technical school for the study
of textile industry is world famous
and in times of peace enrolls stu
dents from many countries.
Three miles to the south OF the
city is the Gradbach road, a memorial
of the battle of Krefeld in which
Frederick the Greats general. the
Duke OF Brunswick. defeated the
French during the seven years war.
From sentimental standpoint
Frefeld derives its chief importance

fact that it was here that Karl Will

| HANDLING Mr.. WILSON'S MAIL

TO BUILD ROADS TO MARKETS
Web of Highways Will Give Indiana
Farmers Easy Access to Towns.

The Indiana state highway commits
sion has decided on the first eight
hundred miles of a system of main
market roads that is to be laid out.
Routes have been selected.
one north and south highway thru
the state has been determined on and
three east and west routes, in the
northern, central and southern parts
- the state, respectively, have been
49, led.
Indianapolis is the central point in
the north and south main line and
also in the central east and west
route. The north and south route will
extend thru South Bend, Plymouth,
Rochester, Kokomo, Upton, Mobiles
vile, Scottburg, New Albany and JET
fersonville.
1t has not been definitely ascer-
tanned where the road will enter the
city limits of Indianapolis. but it is
supposed 1t will connect at some point
with Fall Creek boulevard and then
wind into the center of the city thru
the better improved streets.
The east and west road thru the
northern counties of the state will
follow practically the present route
of the Lincoln highway. 1t will ex-
tend from Valparaiso. thru Laporte,
South Bend, Goshen and Fort Wayne.
The east and west road thru the
central part of the state will follow
practically the course of the old Ma
tional road, extending from Richmond
on the east thru indianapolis and on
to Terre Haute.
The route of the east and west road
will begin at Lawrenceburg and ex-
tend thru Versailles, North Vernon,
Seymour and thence to Bedford.
William S. Moore, state highway
engineer, said that il now is up to
the county commissioners, under the
highway law, to file petitions with
the highway commission. asking for
state aid for the improvement Of the
main market highways in their juris-
diction. The law prohibits the state
from paying more than fifty per cent
of the cost OF any Of these improve
ments and there Is some disposition
among the commissioners to limit the
amount of state aid to rs per cent.
Under the new law the commission
is limited to laying out and aiding in
building two thousand miles of main
market highways before 1921.

Industrial
Cotton

On a comparatively small volume OF
trade fluctuations for cotton yesterday
showed considerable irregularity. In a
general way the attention OF the trade
seemed 10 be divided between the I'M
certainties of the shipping situation
and the strength of the spot market on
unfayorable weather conditions FOR the
new crop start At times during tne
early trading prices showed consider
able strength on the latter factors, but
the announcement that the Tacoma
had been sunk caused renewed ner'
vousness in the afternoon, and the
close was barely steady, quotations
ranging from 10 points higher to III
points lower on the final dealings.
Notwithstanding reports that the
termination Of early planted cotton IN
the extreme Southwest could not be ex-
pected until there had been good rams
new crop months were relatively easy
and closed at the lowest point OF the
day under selling by houses with
Liverpool connections. Relative hrm-
ness in Liverpool was largely due 70
the prospective scarcity OF vessel room
and a consequent diminutlon IN STOCKS
of cotton in that market In the local
market, however, the expected IalHhg
of in exports tended to exert de-
pressing effect.
Southwestern shippers were said TO
be buying spots in the market here, and
the influence of the spot news was
shown in the quotation for March,
which closed a point above May Pr,
vate cables reported trade calling and
small offerings in Liverpool Exports
for the day were 4,773 bales, making
4.O26,376 so far this season. Southern
spot markets, as officially reported
were unchanged to Is points higher
