0uAKERS BATTLE
SPEEDY WABASH
TEAM TONIGHT
Earlham Is on Edge for Game
Deciding the l. c. A. L.
Champions.

The Earlham basketball five meets
the Wabash quintet for the first time
this season on the Coliseum floor Fri
day night. The game will be for !. G.
A. 8. championship honors.
The Earlham team Is on edge for
the game, Coach Move having worked
out several new plays which will be
tried against the Wabash men. The
team, however, is minus Pitts, one of
its regular men. who has quit for the
remainder of the season. Pitts. who
was one OF the regular guards and
substitute center and has not been
cut to practice this week.
This leaves one guard position open.
Carey will have regular berth now
as extra center, it is thought, and as
soon as Coach Move locates his third
guard the team will be ready to do
battle with any basketball team that
claims the l. c. A. L. championship.
The Earlham men are prepared for
n hard fight and expect to have hard
time winning the game but win it
they will" so the student body says.
Mason, center on the Wabash team,
according 20 stories coming here from
Wabash, is an excellent man for
the position and gets the jump every
time. He hasn't met Edwards, Earl
ham center, Hunt, another old Wabash
man of the famous wonder five, is con-
sidered good and will give Meeks and
johnson a workout.

Situation Very Serious

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. S.-Judg-
ing from reports received at Purdue
University from all over the state, the
seed stocks and labor survey being
made this week reveals that the In
diana seed corn situation Is much
more serious than was first thought by
men in charge of the work. Every
farmer is vitality concerned in the seed
outlook and keenest interest is being
shown in the work now underway.
In Shelby county generally conceded
to be one Of the best corn growing
areas in the state, two men out of
eleven in one communicative first in
the state to report-had seed corn.
Several Of the remaining nine thought
they had corn but examination of their
seed showed it was dead These
men will have to buy their own seed.
Another report from Grant county
stated that out of % men at farmers
meeting, fourteen had no seed while
fourteen others said they had only
enough for themselves but were not
sure whether it would grow as no

tests had been made. In Madison coun-
ty only two out of fifty men were sure
they had seen. Similar statements
came from many sections OF the state
but the reports generally indicate that
southern Indiana counties are better
supplied with seed than those in the
north as early maturing varieties OF
small type corn were planted in the
hilly sections.
In certain sections more old corn
is being found than was expected and
arrangements were made at once for
this corn to be tested and held as
seed, providing 1t will grow. Survey
workers in scores of instances have
persuaded farmers to stop feeding or
marketing this corn, citing its value
as seed this year. ,... ..

caused considerable speculation. Army
regulations require Identification tags
bearing name, rank, company and reg

was no official confirmation of this
report the officials declined to COM

dispatch said that the soldiers had not
been assigned to definite units.
Early Death Toll
According to advices in the hands
of the war department early today,
the total missing from the 1919 souls
aboard the liner is 210 of which 113
are American troops.
Cable press dispatches say that
1896 persons have been landed and
are being cared for in Irish villages
and cities.
No official story of the sinking has
reached the department, and press
stories of the cool behavior of the
boys who lined the rail singing ma
tional airs, have been read with inter
est by officers.
Praise American Heroism
How American soldiers behaved
when they found that the boats assign.
ed to them on the Tuscania had been
smashed in told by an American Off
cial who landed at an Irish port. The
officer said that his men behaved as
he had expected them to. Two full
boat loads under his command assem-
bled on the deck when the torpedo
struck the liner and marched to the
boats assigned them. Arriving at their
station they found that both boats
had been destroyed.
"The men lined up on deck at at
tention," said the officer, "and all pre-
served the utmost composure until a
destroyer came alongside and effected
the transfer from the gradually sink
ing deck.
1--WE stood alongside until the last
man was taken off, who as might be
expected, was the commander of the
ship. The patients in the ships hos
pital, including several cases of scar
letina and fever, were among the first
taken Off"
Confuse Captains Name
The captain of the Tuscania was

the Times says. Captain Mclean last
month was awarded the Order of the
British Empire on the recommends
ton of the board of trade. He has
been in the service of the Anchor Line
for twenty years and during the war
has carried many cagoes Of munitions
and foodstuffs safely through the dan
ger zone. An official statement issued
In London early Thursday afternoon
said that Captain j. L. Henderson was
in command of the Tuscania.

&c. 700 Baseballs for
Troops in France

NEW YORK, Feb. solicitations
point strongly toward baseball being
played extensively by the troops in
France this spring. The Y. NJ. c. A.
war work council has awarded con-
tract for $3.50 baseballs, probably one
of the largest orders ever placed.
Special preparation has to be made in
packing these balls so they will not be
affected by dampness. Special cases
are made for the purpose.
If the war lasts long enough the
American army may convert the entire
French nation to baseball. The French
kiddies near the American camp have
taken it up with real vigor and many
of them already are quite proficient.
The American army in Cuba carried
baseball to the island and now it is
played by boys in Cuba all the year
round.

Something quite new in the way of
contract is being mailed to the
players these days. After looking it
over they will find that while hereto
fore they have been paid for six
months work. from April Is to Octob-
er Is, this season they will work only
five and a half months. The season
will close October LIST. This will mean
the saving of quite few thousand
dollars to the game, though it Is only
cutting two weeks pay from the wage
of the average player. 1t Is estimat-
ed that the major league payrolls of
last season. all rolled into one, would
amount to something over million
dollars. The shorter season will
mean the saving in salaries alone Of
SIS, 900 or Whereabouts. OF course this
would be discounted in quite meas
ure by the admissions paid in at the
gates for those two weeks. And of
course quite a few players will up
and boiler quite a bit about it. But
the magnates have figured that the
change will be a profitable one and
that furthermore, you understand, it's
necessary. So the players displeased
can boiler their fool heads off If they
so desire.
1t is not likely that Walter johnson
will get into line for some time to
come. The big pitcher will be asked
to accept considerably less money
than he drew down for the past few
years and much correspondence is in
prospect.
Fielder Jones rises to remark that
the 1917 season was the worst he has
experienced in baseball, but he con-
tends that with an even break in luck
he will have the Browns fighting for
a first division berth this season.
Branch Hickey says he is reason
ably sure Of landing two college stars,
one being Pitcher Ed Langdon OF the
University Of Pittsburgh. The other
is an outfielder, whose name must re-
main secret for the present.
Bert Shotton's signed contract has
been returned to Manager Griffith and
Eddie Ainsmith also has enrolled for
service with the Senators next sea-
son. ,. ..-
Eddie Collins will play second base
for the Chicago White Sox again this
year. The $4,000 star has received
word that he will be placed In Glass
Four. Consequently Manager Row
land will have the same infield that
played in the worlds series last fall

Arkansas soldiers appearing in the l daily casualty list indicate that they are in the thick of things Others are in training camps in America and in England.
 Not only are the Arkansas people giving extensively of it's men, the heart-blood of our people laid down upon the altar of human liberty, the best of our manhood ordered for ward and offered freely for world democracy, but millions in money is being given for war activities, or invested in government securities, and every demand that is made is willingly met
 We conserve food and fuel-who has not done so during the last two years? We deny ourselves many things that are needed by the gov get along just as well or better. There is not a war activity of any kind, sanctioned by the proper au- thorities, that does not meet with the generous response of people who have only begun to learn the art of giving.
 It is easier today to secure con tribution of million dollars in Arkansas than it would have been five years ago to secure an invest ment of s100.O00, in a gilt edge in dustrial project.
 The hearts of the people of Arkan- sas have been opened as never be- fore to the needs of the world. The cry of humanity has been heard. The citizenship of Arkansas is closer bound than ever before into band of brothers devoted to a common cause. Class distinctions were never strongly defined in Arkansas, as in the older states, but they have been almost wholly obliterated. The war has demonstrated a truth enunc1ated long ago by the peasant poet Of Scotland, that "A mans man for a that" The war has proven to be a great leveler. War taxes and war demands of all kinds bear with
  and the poor the humble and the exalted. The son of the millionaire lumberman keeps step with the son of the man who stokes his fathers boilers, and the wealthy mans $1OO goes into the same treasury with the day laborer's dollar.
 The spirit of Arkansas is a new and all conquering spirit which will not expend itself in this war. When peace is established that there may be no war, when the munitions plants are devoted to the industries of peace, when the hundred thousand men, or all but an immortal and val iant few, return to their home land in triumph, when the people of the state realize that they have invested in the safest securities on earth millions of dollars as reserve, when the world will demand as never before the inexhaustible supply

every dollar is matched by one dol lar of public funds, either local or state. This means that next year there will be expended for vocational training in Arkansas a total of $72,938 This is only for sealaries, for in addition the local communi- ties must provide the necessary room and equipment.
 The work was established last year under difficulties, but eleven schools undertook the work in agri- culture and carried 1t through. These are the high schools at Texarkana Columbus, Stuttgart, and Wynne; the state agricultural schools at Monticello, Magnolia and Jonesboro; and the negro schools at Marianna Camden, Fordyce and Thornton.
 The agricultural work done in these schools, which will be doubled in number this year. is purely vo cational and practical. Theory and practice must go together. and the student must give half his school day to agriculture, and half of that time to practical work. Greater things are in prospect for this year and it is felt that as a matter oi fact this work is only beginning.

expression, it is found primarily in the expenditure of our man power. It is estimated that we now have 79,000 of the men and boys of Ark ansas actually under arms, and when the men of the new draft are induct- ed into service, as they may be call ed, probably sometime in October, there will be more than 100000 of them. And they are going with a spirit of patriotic devotion that pre- sages ill for the kaiser and his hordes of barbarians. There are sev- eral thousand of them already on the fighting front, and the names of
