SHORT MAJOR LEAGUE
SEASON NOT FAVORED
Magnates Indicate Return To
l54- Game Schedule Next
Year.

New York, Aug. 29-Experiencc this
year spells the doom of the short season
in the major leagues. Magnates in not1a
circuits are kicking themselves, so to
speak, over falling for the Ii0-gamo
idea. Because of its lack Of merits over
tho old 154-gamc schedule, the club own.
crs have tadopted the "never again"
motto.
President Hcydler of the National
league, believes that the first decision
made when next season s schedules arc
arranged will be to bring back the old
long season. 81
81 From the talllsof club owners I have
no doubt that they-will disapprove fur
ther experiment with short sesons,v he
said today .
Loss of fourteen games has not only
meant much in dollars and cents to the
club owners, but it may be a factor in
cutting some of them ont Of fat slices Of
world IS series coin.
Cleveland and Detroit both figure
that the short season cut them out of
swell chance for the American league
pennant. They both figure that four
teen more games would give them just
the chance wanted to cut down the mar
gin of the leading White Sox.
( The subject may be considered Tues
day when the National commission
meets in Chicago.

GRADES
STUDY COURSE OUT
Announcement Shows Many
Changes Made In Work OF
Grade Schools

The course of study for the elemen-
tary grades has just been received from
the press at the office of Superintend.
ent j. A. Churchill, and the distribution
among the teachers of the state began
today.
One of the most important new fea-
lures is the supplementary work in the
course IN reading. In addition to the
basal text, the teacher is to choose one
of four adopted: texts to be used for
| supplementary work. AT lcsst one of
1.-The supplementary texts is to be pur-
chased by the pupil or by the school
hoard. The course of study urges that
these supplementary texts be purchased
by the school board for tho use of the
pupil. These adopted for this purpose
are literary readers, Young & Field lit
erary readers, Merrill readers, and Riv-
ersideleaders. @
In order to help the teacher of the one
room rural school which has pupils in
all of the eight grades, rural sehoo;
program is published showing how class
es may be combined for the best econ
omy of the time of both pupil and teach
er.
For the language work in the fourth,
fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades,
the teacher is referred to the course Of
study in elementary English which ae-
companies the adopted text, Potter,
Jeschc and Gillct's oral and written
English. This manual is furnished free
to all teachers.
In geography the same text as used
last year will be followed until the
changes in the boundaries appear in the
map of the newly adopted texts of the
Tarr and McMurry series These are
expected to be ready for use eat the
opening of the schools in. the fall or
1920.
In American history the outline ibf
the first four grades follows that given
in the report of the committee of eight.
The. course in the first two grades is
planned to give the child an impression
of primitive life and an appreciation of
the public holidays. The child is taught
to enter into the spirit of all public hol-
idays and to respect the historical back
ground that has made these days posi-
bic. In the third grade the heroes of
other times are introduced, and in the.
fourth the pupil is present to historical
scenes and persons in American history.
The work of these first four grades pre-
pares the way for the stories of Amer,.

PLANS PROBE OF
ALLEGED TRUST,
OF PRODUCE men
Mayor Will Investigate
Charges Of Conspiracy by
Commission Firms to
Hold Up Prices.

Charges against the wholesale
commission houses which supply
Omaha with fruit and vegetables are
made in a letter to Mayor Smith
from a man who works for one of
these houses and who says there is a
deliberate conspiracy to keep down
the supply and keep up the prices.
Mayor Smith will take steps to in
vestigate the charges.
Three or four cars Of fruit from
outside states are received in Omaha
daily" says the letter. The COM
mission men know just about what
the demands of Omaha are and they
deliberately market just enough to
keep the prices up.
~ have seen, time and again, three
or four wagonloads of fruit taken
from a car on the tracks, the car then
closed up and allowed to stand for
several days, paying demurrage, and
then when the car was opened halt
to two-thirds of the fruit was found
to be spoiled.
This is the reason why the peo-
pie of Omaha are paying 90 cents a
dozen for bananas, 5 cents each for
pears and peaches, exhorbitant
prices for berries of all kinds and
from 81 up for watermelons.
The proper steps to take would
be for the federal grand jury to in
vestigate the acts of comission
houses in the interests of the people,
There is plenty of fruit and this
combine and conspiracy of the COM
mission men to keep the prices mp
is thing that the people should not
stand for"
Word has come also to the mayor
that there is combination among
the fruit growers of Douglas county.
1--WE have maid in our house
whose parents live on farm out in
the county," a prominent Omahan
told the mayor. "They have a great
many berries and we wanted to buy
direct from the farm. We were told
that we could not get them. They
had to be sold through the regular
commission house channels. They
could give them to us and we could
then make a present to our maid,
but the rules were so strict that we
could not buy them in any other
way"
