INCREASE STATE LEVY

-
Next Two Years at 7.25 Mills-ln-
crease Of Nearly 3 Mills Over Last
Biennial Period.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. 22-The state exec
utive council has fixed the state tax
levy at 7.25 mills for the next two years.
This is an increase Of about 8 mills over
the last biennial period when the levy
was ABB mills. The last legislature au-
thorized the raising Of 100000 for
state revenue for the year from July
1. 1917, to June 80. 1918, and of $6,000,-
900 for the next year. Hence it has been
found necessary to increase the state
levy
The 100000 fund for war purposes
is partially responsible for the increase.
The council also has authorized a
levy of II mills for capitol extension.
This will bring in about $150,000 per
year and Is to be used in completing
the capitol extension work.

Grand.tand to Seat $1,000.

st. Louis, Aug. 22.-An immense
grandstand to encircle the st. Louis
National league baseball park built
along modern stadium ideas and large
enough to accommodate more than
$4,000 persons, will be erected as soon
as plans being formulated by James
C. Jones, originator Of the Cardinal
idea," are perfected.
The plan calls for concrete stand
around the entire field but whether it
will be built for next year depends
entirely on the popularity OF the plan
and the success Of campaign for
funds.
The entire stand will be rooted and
on the roof will be seats TO be used
only in case of an overflow.
No part Of the stand will be exposed
to the sun. There will be the 25-cent
section. in relatively the same posi-
ton the bleachers now occupy.
The stand Is expected to bring about
the end Of overflow crowds on the field
necessitating ground rules. When all
seats in the new stands have been
filed, spectators will be expected to
take seats on the roof. The seats on
the roof are to be arranged in rows
Quit Slalr ldSHlOH
Jones said that the plan was being
studied by directors and that all we're
highly favorable to the idea. He could
not state definitely when the campaign
for funds would be launched, but he
said 1t was probable the plan would be
put into effect this fall.
The stand Jones stated, would be
practically flreproof.

Cicotte is 80 years old and Is Just

Eddie owes much Of his success to a
new ball which he has mastered. 1t

has wonderful control over his famous

each batsman. He can throw beauti-

When Cicotte went to Detroit several
years ago he was found wanting and

Cicotte was a graduate OF the same
