SENATE ADOPTS
FARM LOAN BILL
House, However, Not So Hasty
About Action on 100000
900 Measure.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The adminis-
tration bill authorizing the secretary
Of the treasury to purchase 100000
900 of farm loan bonds during the next
fiscal year was adopted by the Senate
to-day without a record vote after 1t
had been amended so as to eliminate
authority for a similar purchase next
year.
Immediately after the vote the bill
was sent over to the House with view
to action there before abe holiday adj
journment. After some discussion,
the House postponed consideration un-
til January 8. Chairman Glass OF the
banking committee, announced that the
Senate had adjourned and that mas
much as 1t would be impossible to en-
act the bill into law until after the
holiday recess 1t would be futile to at
tempt action tonight, in view Of what
he called the lack of comprehension
on the part of those opposing 1t.
Representatives Lenroot. Wisconsin:
Smell, New Yok and others opposed
immediate consideration on the ground
that the measure was too important
to pass without proper discussion. Mr..
Smell contended that the land banks
were tending towards insolvency and
that it was a bad precedent for the
United States to take bonds from a
corporation that could not sell them.

NO CHANGE IN 1918
BASEBALL PLANS
Big Leagues Agree to Garry Out
Customary Program
154 Games.

Chicago, Dec. 1A.-There will be no
curtailment of the playing season, no
slashing Of the player limit nor limita-
ton of the training season in the
major leagues next year. The club
owners of the National and American
Leagues decided at their Joint meet
ing here to-day, that there was no
cause for alarm about baseball at
present. They agreed that II the war
forces them to retrench, 1t Will be time
enough to adopt a war policy when
they actually face conditions.
The two leagues decided to open tho
1918 season on Tuesday, April 16. a
week later than last year. and to play
q 1854 game schedule. which had been
the program for years.
The National League agreed to the
American League plan for the collec-
tion of the federal war tax. 1t was de-
cided to collect only what the govern
ment imposes-three cents on bleacher
seats, five cents on pavilion seats,
eight cents on grandstand ana ten
cents on box seats.
The leagues also decided to collect ten
cent tax on every free admission.
There Is every indication that the plan
for a new division Of the worlds series
price, which previously had been opposed
by President johnson Of the American
League will be adopted. President johnson
and August Hermann, president OF the
Cincinnati Nationals and chairman or the
National baseball commission. were en-
powered to act on the ACCESSIBILITY OF
adopting the plan, which provides that the
four first division clubs In the two leagues
shall share in the purse.
I" 1T was much impressed with the
thought" President johnson said tonight.
"It came from Mr.. Hermann. and l be-
lieve shall vote for it. We purpose pool
Ing the worlds series money. and also
the receipts Of city series, which will make
q rich prize"
Chairman Hermann believes the plan
will produce a more spirited race in both
leagues.
"Basing my figures on the world series
receipts last season." Herman said. 1.-The
players on the club finishing second will
get approximately 5000 each. The men,
bers of the fourth club will receive some-
thing like $500 each. 1t is proposed that
the prize shall be divided on a 60 and 40
percentage basis. Sixty per cent. Of the
winning share will, Of course, go to the
championship club. The balance will be
divided among the other teams
President Johnson said the subject of
paying the $4,000 debt to hackers of the
Pittsburg, Newark and Brooklyn clubs
of the Federal League was not brought
up at to-day's meeting.

being the policy at Long Branch Farm
to utilize the distant hay fields as pas
lures. owing to the expense Of trans
porting the hay. while the land Is ex-
cellent for producing mutton and wool.
Some four years ago Mr.. Kendall be-
gan purchasing full blooded stock from
Massachusetts,. Vermont, Ohio. Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia. The tremendous i'm
provement In his flock became mani
fest within two years and now while the
average fleece throughout the country
weighs six pounds. those produced at
Long Branch Farm average VI POUNDS.
AS strict business proposition Mr..
Kendall believes that there Is nothing
that can compare with sheep raising.
In the last Ave years the value of wool
has increased from 20 to about % cents a
pound. and while the increase In the price
OF mutton has not been in proportion, 1t
has been very large.
I'm face of the great shortage of wool
and mutton" said Mr.. Kendall. IAN OPP
portunity has already been created the
like of which has not been known since
the Civil war. In those days the sheep
population Of the country showed an
alarming decrease and 1t required some
good stock to remove the old rangy, long
legged stock. The same is true to-day
and the improved breeds are of great
value.
