TALK IOWA LEAGUE
BASEBALL MEETING At CEDAR
RAPips, FEB. 4
Temporary Organization VIII Bs
Sought Among Interested cltiss--
Cedar Rapids Now Ready for New
Iowa Circuit - Three citles Sure,
Several Others Believed TO 30 Ready

Hope Of league baseball in Iowa this
summer has been revived with the an
nouncement that meeting would be
held q. Cedar Rapids, Wednesday. Feb.
4. 20 discuss plans for the organization
OF an Iowa circuit. While there Is
known sentiment in many Iowa cities
for baseball 1t is not known just how
strong this sentiment is in some places
and the meeting next week will deter
mine whether q sufficient number or
cities are prepared TO return to orsa-
nized baseball this year.
It Is probable that at the Cedar Rap
ids meeting efforts will be made 10
perfect a temporary organization. Ced-
ar RAPIDS, Marshalltown and Water
loo arc ready for baseball and Will
form the nucleus Of the circuit. Mus
catine, Clinton. Dubuque, Burlington
Ottumwa, Mason City, Fort Dodge
and possibly other Iowa cities will be
considered. II is probable that ma
iority of these cities will be represent
ed at next weeks meeting.
Start the Ball Rolling.
II is felt that all that now is neces-
sary to reconstruct the old Central AS
ISOLATION is for some OF the more ac-
tive baseball fans to start the ball roll
ing and eight cities soon would be Sc
cured for the circuit. It may be. how
ever. that Cedar Rapids, Waterloo and
Marshalltown, the three cities known
70 be ready to take up league baseball,
Will be obliged TO shoulder the burden
Of reorganization.
Cedar Rapids has been anxious TO
return 10 the game, but there has been
some sentiment worked UP In that city
for Three-I league baseball. The recent
announcement OF President Al Tearney
that Quincy and Hannibal would get
berths in the Three-I has discourage
the Cedar Rapids fans along that line.
A majority Of the Cedar Rapids fans
are said TO be favorable 10 an Iowa cir
cult.

TEA FOR THREE"
Served at the Odeon Theater Sunday
EVENING, Feb, I.


Tea for Three" a, comedy in three
acts and prologue comes 10 the ODE
on Sunday evening with Norman
Hackett starred under direction OF
The Selwyns. This comedy written by
Roi Cooper Megrue approaches more
nearly the continental idea than any
Of the recent made plays. II
Is light. frothy. Sophisticated in con-
ception, at tines daring, but under
meath its bubbling surface there is an
undercurrent Of truth. which is the
chief qualification OF genuine comedy.
The author describes the play as Ban
angle on the triangle" The average
Itriangle tale is swathed IN banality
and pathos. gradually working its
melodramatic way up TO an acute cul-
mination Of tears and pistol shots Just
before the fall OF the last curtain.

OUR FARMERS CORNER

States Department of Agriculture. During the past year oats have been in nearly every locality chaeper than corn. When corn goes down to $1.50 a bushel, oats should be 75 cents and barley $1.20 a bushel to give the same value as poultry feed. t
 Oats, with the hulls on, contain more indigestible matter than corn, and the indigestible hulls also make oats less palatable to poultry and of less feeding value. An average sample of oats should be valued at about 12 ot 15 per cent less than a good sample of cracked corn. The best wheat usually available for poultry is not actually worth more as poultry feed than good cracked corn. Low-grade and damaged grains are suitable for poultry feed if birds in good condition will eat them readily. -...

Good Dessert for Cold Day

Some day this winter, after light meal, try serving Brown Betty with cheese for dessert. It is sure to make hit with the family if they have hearty capacities. The following re- cipe for it has been tried out in the home economics kitchen of the Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture: %- ..
 Brown Betty with cheese.-Ar- range alternate layers of bread crumbs and thinly sliced apples in a deep earthen-ware baking dish. Sea- son with cinnamon, also little clove, if desired, and, brown sugar. Scat ter some finely shaven mild full cream cheese over each layer of apple. When the idsh is full, scat ter bread crumbs over the top and bake 30 to 45 minutes, placing the dish in pan of water so that the pudding will not burn.
 If preferred, this may be sweeten- ed with molasses mixed with an equal amount of hot water and poured over the top, half cupful of molas- ses being sufficient for quart dish of pudding.

How Many Meals a Day?

2 The theory is advanced from time to time that one or two meals a day would be preferable to the three commonly served in this country. If the same amount of food is to be eoten, United States Department of Agriculture food specialists state that it is hard to see the advant tage of two very hearty meals over three ordinary ones. ..a
 The best physiological evidence implies that moderate quantities of food taken at moderate intervals are more easily and completely di- gested by ordinary people than larg- CT quantities taken at long intervals. If the food ordinarily eaten is con sidered excessive and the aim is simply to reduce the amount, it would seem more rational to make all the meals lighter than to omit one. The very fact that the custom of eating a number of meals a day has so long been almost universal, indicates that it must>have some ad- vantages which instinct, based upon experience, approves and justities.
