TRAINING TRIPS
 WILL BELONGER
 IN BIC LEAGUES

Everybody interested in baseball is jubilant over the fact that the Ma ttonaI League club owners of America at their annual meeting in New York freed themselves from wartime policies. They have decided to al low the players six weeks in which to get into shape at the training quarters instead of four weeks, as was the case last spring. A schedule of 154 games instead of 14O will be played. The big league races will start Oil or about April IA.
 In making out last years schedules the magnates labored under the i'm pressfon that the fans were not pre- pared for baseball on it's normal
 basis, and the general unrest that ex- isted throughout the country prompt
 ed them to limit the season to 14O contests. After the schedules had been adopted, however, Sunday base
 ball in this State was legarfzed, and
 before the season was half over the
 club owners in each circuit realized
 that q mistake was made when 1t i was decided to curtail the races. Fans
 were hungry for the game, but 1t was
 impossible to stretch the races.
 Next season the game will be op- erated on its normal basis. Each club will play Seventy-seven home games, and the same number of battles will be decided on foreign diamonds. The races will come to a close about Oct. 5.
 Allowing the teams six weeks in ] which to get the players in shape means that the fans will receive news
 from the Southern training-camp i about March l. Last spring several clubs did not begin their southward journey until late in that month. The short period in which the managers had to get the players in shape for the pennant races was d handicap, and several of them, especially the ] veterans who are slow in rounding 1 into shape, came North without hay i ing had the sufficient amount of pre- i Iiminary work under Southern sun ! shine.
 i The late start also prevented the
 managers from devoting as much ! time as they generally do to the rockies. The time of most of the leaders was taken up by whipping
 the regulars into shape. Future
 greats were neglected. This spring
 with six weeks to spend at the camps : the managers will have time for regu- lars and rockies, and the clubs will return for the opening games in i better condition.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Reports that Great Britain and France had cancell- ed big contracts for food supplies in the United States did much today to emphasize bearish sentiment relative to corn. The market closed heavy, 2 1-2 to 1-4c net lower with January 40 to 140 1-2 and May 132 IA to 13E 3-S. Oats lost 7-S to 1-4c. In provis- ions the outcome ranged from SIC de- cline to an advance of 2c.
 Weakness in the corn market hing ed at first chiefly on statements by an official of the food administration that all possible steps were being talk en to reduce the high cost of living, and that Argentine and United States prices of corn should be brought near CT together. In addition, a rumor that the Argentine strike had been declared off was circulated, and the prospect again appeared to be for broadening out of the crop movement.
 Oats weakened with corn. Lessened inquiry from Eastern shippers was ap- parent.
 Provisions were depressed by the downward tendency of grain and hogs.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Jan. 1..-An extreme ly nervous feeling featured the cot ton market today, rapid price move ments being scored around the open- ing, after which values firmed up rap- idly for a moderately wide gain but 'toward the close a rapid decline set in, so that last prices were three points lower to 5 points higher than the final figures of yesterday. Even ing up operations constituted most of the trading.
 On the first call prices were six to eight points up but mill takings for bales, and selling increased, driving the nearer months to points under yesterdays close. On this soft spot yesterdays sellers tried to buy back their contracts and they quickly put prices up on themselves, the market standing 37 to A points over yester- days final prices soon after the mid dle of the morning. For while, the tone was fairly steady but liquidation from the long side appeared in the last half hour and the desire of longs to even up increased toward the close with the result that practically the whole net advance was wiped out.
 Spot cotton quiet and unchanged. Sales on the spot 259; -, arrive 675. Low middling 26.25; middling 5000; good middling 31.00. Receipts 3,210; stock 437,0SS.

Letters From
The People
SCHOOL DIRECTOR IN
FAVOR OF MORE PAY

Editor Herald:
AS a director OF School District
No. /, appreciate highly your edi-
torial advocating the increase pro-
posed in the salaries for the teach
ers of the district.
When ! first came on the board
the minimum salary paid was s65
per month for nine months, or s5s5
per annum. Last year the minimum
was $50 per month and the first OF
this school year we made the mini
mum s95 per month and on Novem-
Der "a an added IS per month was
given, making the rate for the bal
ance of the. year 800 per month, or
at the rate OF $1,000 per annum, as
we now have ten months school
year.
The increase asked for now is
only for this years deficiency, as
we have provided in the budget for
next year for the proposed increases.
We do not ask this of the taxpay-
ers because some other town may
be paying higher rates than we,
which we do not know TO be a fact,
but because rent, shoes, clothing and
board have advanced here far be-
yond any calculation Of the board,
in fixing the salaries at the begin
ming OF the school year. At that
time we were paying as good salaries
as any town OF the size in the state,
but lately some other towns have
done as we are doing, asking for
TO make increases.
We have, as you say, a corps of
teachers Cf whom we may well be
proud. We have employed, so fas
as possible, those having normal
school training, and their education
has taken several years time and
large expenditure OF money, and /
hope the voters will bear this in
mind at the election.
