Sporting News Thinks Rock Island
Man Wei Qualified For Head
Of National COmmish,

The St Louis Sporting News
hints that NJ. II. Sexton OF this
city president of the National AS
sociation OF Minor Baseball
leagues, may be the Moses whc
will lead the national game out OF
the deep woods and seconds the
suggestion that be be mads chair
man of the national commission
It says:
An attempt to feel out NJ. H. Sex,
ton, president Of the National asso-
citation, as to how he stands on the
various reforms planned for organ
lied baseball, results in bringing
forth only the nOn-cOmmital state
ment that he has ian opeE mind
and that he sincerely hopes all
hands will get together on some
arrangement that viii be for the
general good. Mike adds a note
that indicates mild surprise that
he should be suggested as a can
didate for chairman of the national
commission and asks from. whence
the boom for him originated, evil
dence enough that in his mo1esty
he had no part in the suggestion
of his name.
But while Mr.. Sexton may be re-
ceptive as to ideas and to office, we
cannot believe that he is not keen
ly alive as to the moves being
made in baseball. He is 100 deep
a student of the Administered pol
icies and problems Of the game to
be inactive when there are SO
many reforms" being offered from
all directions. and such need of a
new deal. There will be no sur
prise If the president of the nation
al association comes forward in the
impending conferences With some
thing that will prove he has given
the subject study.
Meanwhile planks for the reform
Of the latest comes from the Amer
lean association, which announces
somewhat mysteriously that it has
a scheme to be introduced at the
minors meeting in Chicago on
Jan. IA, and that the association
magnates will be there in force to
press for its adoption. Then there 6
Clark Griffith's plan, jim Harris
plan. Al Tearney's plan and no
doubt Dave FultZ, who seems to be
picked for entry as a factor in
minor league baseball, Will have a
neat little plan of his own.
Major magnates who are unable
to see beyond their own circle may
shrug their shoulders and say
these reform ideas concern the
minors only or chiefly, that pos
sibly there may be a few "conces-
siOns," but no great changes in the
system that has been in operation
and minor magnates who think
they are sufficient unto themselves
may shrug their shoulders and say
they are not concerned as to
whether or not any agreement is
reached, but this attitude does not
represent the feelings of the great
body Of men interested in the wei
fare of baseball.
There is, we take it, going to be
4 serious effort for a better feeling
and closer cooperation between
majors and minors, and silent, non
commital Mike Sexton may be the
Moses to show them the wav.
And right here we would like tC
add for the benefit of those super
cilious critics who seem to imag-
inc that baseball begins and ends
with majordom: All the brains oil
baseball are not in their restricted
circle-organiZ baseball could
make a worse selection than Mike
Sexton for head of its high court.

their growth out of nothing in a few
years, the possibilities of the motor
in daily life are only partly developed.
There are greater things to come in
this department of modern progress.
The motor industry feels it did more
to win the war than any other line of
manufacturing business except steel.
A marvellous product of trucks, air
plane motors, etc. was turned out.
! The motor industries are revolu-
tionizing transportation and agricul-
ture. The vast supply OF pleasure cars
which they turn out for the diversion
of the people is only one side of this
great activity. Motor trucks are 60
ing to make great changes in country
life and agriculture. They promise
vast new equipment to the transpor-
tation system for all products. The
young man vino enters the motor in
dustry goes into a line of business that
will have tremendous development
and offer many good opportunities.

HOME SERVICE STORES

In buying from store in Denison
or any community Of its type, a per-
son gets the personal service of men
of unusual ability. 1t takes brains to
run a retail store. A lot of people are
always trying it and failing. The mer-
chant must be a good organizer, have
a grasp of system and detail, must
have sound practical judgment and
general intelligence.
When man has made good on these
tests, he must have good sense and
ability. He places all that at the COM
mand of the community and goes the
limit to give the best service in his
power. The majority of successful
merchants have ability enough to
make good in positions that would com
mand more money but they prefer
their own independent position. When
you buy of them, therefore, you get
the personal attention of men of in
telligence and capacity, which is a
great help in getting the most for
ones money.

Don't buy muslin weighted with

as gingha1ns, percales, serses and

Test any fabric before buying is also
a good habit to cultivate. If the goods

HELD EXTENSION MEETING

About $50 county agents, home dem
onstration workers and boys and girls
club leaders meat at Ames on Thurs,
day and Friday, February Goth and
21st, for a conference Of extension
workers from all over the state.
The meeting was essentially to line
up work for the coming season and to
discuss problems which arise daily in
the work of an extension worker.
Although no special entertainment
was planned on account of the short
duration of the conference, one fea-
ture of the program was especially
worthy of mention, namely, the speech
by Pres. r. A. Pearson of Iowa State
college, who was a member of the COM
mittee which recently returned from
Europe, where they made study of
agriculture in the countries of our
allies ..
During Friday the different groups
were separated, the county, agents,
home demonstration agents and the
extension club workers each holding
separate. conferences, at which their
individual problems were taken up.

CORN SHOW IS HIGH QUALITY

One of the best quality exhibits ever
seen at a state corn and small grain
producers association show was on
the boards February 18th, to 21st, at
the sixteenth annual show held at
Ames. 3, The effect of "a good seasons
crop was evident in the quality OF corn
which was put forth by the contest
ants. 49, -. ,t,
Ten thousand four hundred seventy
five ears were entered in the contest
altogether, there being $50 entries
Wheat, barley, oats, ensilage, shelled
corn, alfalfa hay and pop corn were
also on the boards. Besides these,
sweet clover, red clover and soy beans
were shown.
The corn classes were divided as in
previous years, there being northern,
north central, south central and south
ern divisions. Judges were procured
from all over the state, experienced
corn growers being chosen. /, No man
was allowed to judge in an exhibit of
his section Of, the state nor did he
judge any classes where his corn was
entered.
Not only the yellow and white corn
were found, but red and calico varie-
ties were found, as we'll as pop corn.
The small grains, while being of good
quality and having high class seed in
their section, were outshadowed by
the large corn exhibits.
One of the features of the show was
an exhibit of 100 ears from the acre of
corn of, j. D. Kirkpatrick Of Keota,
who won the Banner trophy for the
highest yielding acre OF, corn in the
state.
