Imported PLAYERS
LEAD TO PROTEST
No Action Taken However
"a at Meeting of City
League Managers.

An important meeting of the mana
gers OF the various City league teams
was held at the Y. NJ. C. A. yesterday
evening at $3.50 o'clock, at which time
several matters OF interest were dis
posed OF. Seven of the eight teams
were Represented, the following at
tending: NJ. L. Clevett, president; Ira
Atkins, Monongah Glass; Wagner
and cutlip, Owens; Manager Press
man, Watson Building; Maston, Mid
West. Kendall, Mining Machinery;
Smith, Wholesalers; Toothman,
Barnes and Watkins, West Virginian.
The question Of eligibility of player,
came up again, charges being made
ing players, chiefly from West Vir-
glnia University and placing them OF
their payrolls. Contention was. made
that IL the rules of the league were
stringently enforced making the league
a local Industrial league, these play
ers were not eligible. After the dis
.cussion had gotten little heated, the
president asked, ANY further bust
ness, and other business was intro
duced.
Announcement was made that the
Monongahela Valley Traction company
had made arrangements to spend con-
siderable money at the park immedi-
ntely in rebuilding the fence and re-
pairing the grandstand.
The league managers decided dug
out should be made In the grandstand
just behind the batter's box for tie
score keepers. This matter will be at
tended to in the near future.
The question of stretching wire
across the top OF the grandstand to
assist In keeping the balls in the park
and thus making the games a little
faster. was brought up. The president
was asked to make this improvement.
Four O'Clock Rule.
There seemed to be considerable dis
Agreement over the rule affecting the
first Saturday afternoon game which,
according to the league rules, must
end at 4 o'clock. The great dissatis-
faction among the large crowd which
attended the Watson Building Monon-
gah Glass game few weeks ago when
the game was called with the score
lie, was mentioned Some thought
that the rule was a good one, because
1t protected the teams which were to
play the second Saturday afternoon
game. Others thought that it should
be abolished entirely and all games
played to happy conclusion.
A compromise was finally agreed
upon. Hereafter the first Saturday
afternoon game will end at the con-
clusion of nine innings of play if the
score is not tied. If the score is tied
at 4 O'Clock, regardless of the number
Of innings already played, three ad-

The question of an umpire for the

one. Some neutral party should be

which to finish the game. If the score
is tied at the end OF these three addi-
tional innings. the game will be called
to permit the second game to be
played.
The question of officials was anoth-
er matter OF importance which was
discussed. Names OF several officials
were suggested, after which the mat 9.

league for decision.
The president was instructed to or

FARM PROSPERITY
 FIN GRAVE DANCER
Hastings Declares Greater Food Pre- duction Essential To The Main tenance Of Agricultural
 Prosperity

Atlanta, Ga-(Special. )-That there is a large element of danger for Southern farm prosperity in the pres ent situation, is the firm belief of H G. Hastings, President of both the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce and the Southeastern Fair Associa ton.
 MT. Hastings repeated substantially his statement of year ago when he said: "Unthinking people are apt to attribute the present measure of farm prosperity in the South to the high price of cotton rather than to it's real cause.
 "Just as soon as peace began to ap- pear probable last fall, there was a distinct let-up in the planting of wheat, oats and other small grains. One Georgia cotton farmer said to me, If we are going to have peace, we are not going to plant any wheat in my neighborhood'
 "Of course the high price of cot ton has helped, but if it had not been for the increased supply of bread, meat, vegetables, grain and forage made on the farms, there would have been little prosperity for any one but the supply merchant. Cotton was and is relatively lower in price than food stuffs, and will continue to be for years to come.
 "An extra two or three million bales in the 1919 cotton crop will smash present attractive prices, while the worldwide demand for bread and meat and the disorganiZation of food production in Europe incident to the war, means high food prices every where for years to come.
 High food. prices are a certainty and low cotton prices are an equal certainty if the food and grain acres of 1916, 1917 and 1918 are thrown back into cotton in 1919. Herein lies the danger to our present farm prosper ity. If we go back to our old before the-war system of growing all cotton and buyi-.g all food and grain. we will get another jolt like 1914 with. req sonable certainty.
 Present Southern farm prosperity can be maintained in one way only Produce on home acres, so far as "os- sible, every pound of food, ve~st -.5ies, grain, hays and forage needed by fam fly and livestock, to.l put every other available acre in cotton or other cash cop. This method means cash crops made with little: or no debt-the crop owned by the producer at the e-si of inc season instead of owed to the supply merchant.
 Food and grain production suEfi- cient for home needs, insures contin- ued farm prosperity. Dropping back to the old way means debt like EsilI atone around the farmers neck"

GIRLS! LEMON JUICE
 IS A SKIN WHlTENER
How to make a creamy beauty lotion
 for few cents.

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes whole quarter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, whitener and beautifer.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any drug store and two lemons from the grocer and make up quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands.

transport, still wearing his gob's

first steps toward becoming a work

of what he wanted to do, not hav-

the navy, and not having acquired
any training there that would be of
much use off a ship. Still, he was
determined to make a go of it on

"Well, it's this way. I read in the

Arm in arm they set out for a
particular address near the City
Hall. The elevator shot them into
the top of dark Office tower and let
them out before the door Of the Cob
blers Publishing House.
One step in, and they found what
they had half expected all the time
a small room with few third-rate
appurtenances and two young men,
hands thrust into pockets, standing
about waiting for answers to their
advertisement.
On table was a stack Of paper
