NATIONAL BASEBALL
COMMISSION MEETS
Cincinnati to Be Gathering
Place for Baseball Men
From All Over Country.

CINCINNATI, Jan !. - Baseball
men from almost every part of the
country began gathering here tonight
for the annual meeting of the national
baseball commission tomorrow. While
the committee meeting has been called
Tor 10 a. m. 1t is highly probable that
it will be hours later before the su-
prcmc court of baseball really begins
its work. as there has been a special
meeting called of the club owners Of
the three class AA leagues which has
as an indicated subject the adoption Of
commission asking that the drafting
Of players from class AA leagues be
abolished.
Request May BE Dcnicd.
While nothing official has been an
nounced by the commission as to how
1t will look upon this demand, II has
been unofficially indicated by Presi-
dent johnson of the American league
that the request would be denied.
Every club president of the Ameri--
can association and the international
league is expected here. but 1t is
hardly probabl that the Pacific Coast
league will be represented by more
than one mar.
Major Leagues Affected
1t Is likewise probable that large
number of the major league magnates
will be in attendance, as number OF
other matters that have to do with
the relation between the major and
minor league clubs are believed to be
on the list of matters to be consld-
cred.
The election of officers for the
commission also will be held. but IL
has become an assured fact during the
last week that both Chairman August
Hermann and Secretary John f.
Bruce would be reelected.

1t was probably the greatest
year for the boxers because of
the immense amount of business
transacted Jess willard in his
only bout pulled down $4,000 for
his services. The rest of the time
he was making something like
$1,000 per week The other

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure catarrhal deafness, and that IS
by a constitutional remedy. Catar-
rhal deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the Eustachian
tube. When this tube is intiamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
Unless the Inflammation is reduc-
ed and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be des-
troyed for ever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an inhamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the blood on the
mucous surfaces of the system.

Mr.. Farmer, do you realize that
there is the possibility Of a serious
garden seed shortage this coming
year? Then why not make a special
EFFORT to save what seed you need
from your own garden! Save few
Of the most vigorous and prolific
plants. then select the best seeds from
these and you have an article that nine
times out Of ten Is superior to what
you can buy, and at the same time
YOU know that they came from and
that they are true to name and free
from disease. For the benefit of those
who may wish to supply their own
demand for garden seeds with home
grown product, the following direc-
tions are given:
Remember, Select Only the Most VIg-
orous and Productive Plants
10 Furnish Seed.
3san ana oea.-Allow the pods to
rtpen on the vine. When dry enough
TO rattle in the pod, gather the beans.
It is best not to allow them to become
wet after the ripening period. Thresh
out the beans or peas, dry out thor
oughly in the shade, then store in
cool, dry place.
Beet and Garcia very few
plants Of each Of these vegetables pro
duce an abundance Of seed. Select
some Of the best roots, take up and
store in the cellar over winter, then
az early as possible in the spring
transplant to the 1eld. Beet seed
stalks sometimes become very heavy,
and it may be necessary to tie them
20 q stake. II the temperature does
not reach q lower mark than ten de-
grses above zero, the beets or carrots
may be left standing in the field over
winter
Lsttuce-As soon as the stalk dies
and the seed are fully mature, re-
move the seed and store in dry, cool
place. Seed Of the lettuce plant are
short lived, and are not generally con-
sidered reliable after the second year.
okra.-Before frost gather the pods
or allow the pods to mature, then cut
stalk and hang UP with pods attached
until seed are wanted for planting.
II desired, the seed may be shelled
from the pods and stored in some con-
venient receptacle.
Psppsr-5elect the seed pods from
vigorous plants, and as soon as ma
ture place pods on . strtrz. or, If
preferred, she'll out thu seed and store
them In a small paper sack.
Parsnip.-The roots may be left
standing IN the neld over winter.
Seed will be produced the following

FARMERS MUST SAVE HOME GARDEN SEED

sprtng. When ripe, the stalks bearing
the seed are cut and hung up in a
shed TO dry. When fully dry, thresh
or rub out the seed and store as for
other vegetables. Do not try to keep
seed longer than two years.
aadsh.-When ripe enough 70 rattle
in the pods the seed stalks are cut
and the seed threshed out, drisd and
pr1t away for sFing use. The less
rain that falls on the seed after rtpen-
ing the better the seed are likely to
be.
Pumpkin and squash.-fhe fruits
may be stored in some conveaient
place and the seed left In them until
wanted for planting, or the seed may
be removed from the fruits, washed
and dried. Here again we must keep
the seed away from rats or mice.
Seed are good for several years II
properly handled.
Sweet corn.-Use the same method
for curing and saving As for heid corn,
or shell as soon as fully dry and store
in small receptacle.
Tomato.-As the truit becomes
fully ripe, gather, crush the seed out
into a small vessel Of water, and allow
to ferment for about two days. This
fermenting will remove the little aim
which surrounds the seed. Separate
the seed from the pulp By screening,
wash the seed In clean water and dry
IN the shade, stirring occasionally to
prevent sticking together.
Turnip.-Seed Of this vegetable are
among the easiest to save. The tur-
nips sown in the fall will usually sur
viyet the winter all right and produce
seed the following spring However,
IL may be safer to store some Of the
roots in cellar and transplant the
following spring. These will produce
seed in early summer, and the seed
stalks may be cut and hung UP to
dry, or the seed may be threshed
out by hand and the seed stored in
any desired receptacle.
All vegetable seeds should be
stored where they can be kept dry and
fairly cool. When stored under such
conditions they keep better and retain
their vitality for longer period than
when storage conditions are not such.
For further information write to the
Extension Division, University Of Ar
kansas, Fayetteville.
Be sure TO see this column In the
next Issue Of this paper telling how
to protect garden seed from weeVil
while In storage.
