THE GOvERNORsHIP SITUATION


1t is not long call to September A.
when IT will be decided who is the Re
publican nominee. Good judges OF the
situation are saying that the race for
first place is between Babbitt and Hart
ness with Agan third and Emery. tail
ender 1t is quite certain that 1t rs to be
no walkover for any Of the candidates.
That being the case every vote will
count. If Windham county rallies to the
support of its county candidate as it
should, It will go long ways towards
putting Mr.. Rabbit across. Especially
ought the town Of Rockingham to give
the home candidate a rousing majority.

"KHAKI UNIVERSITY" OPENS
Soldiers at Camp Dix Take Advan'

Camp Dix, N. j., Oct. with q
heavy registration from among soldiers
Of the First Army Division, the uni
versity in Khaki" reopened for Its Sec
ond term in Camp Dix yesterday, hum
dreds of students signing up for the
various trade and professional courses,
while hundreds OF illiterates and for.

recruiting for the division, Major Gen
eral Summerall expects the college,
before the end Of It's term, to have the
largest enrolment Of any educational
institution In the country.
Under the new pay ruling, a private
can advance himself as a specialist In
any one of several lines and boost his
wages to $50 q month-more than the
pay of a colonel in some Of the Euro
pean armies during the war. This

ervation will be used for practical dem

FARMERS HARD HIT
BY FALL IN PRICES
Agricultural Expert Puts Loss
at $1,732,276,35o, Due.
to Credit System
SAYS MlDDLEMEN PROFIT
By a sta6 Correspondent

Washington, Oct. 5.-Farmers Of
the United States stand to lose 81 1884,
278, $50 as a result of falling prices and
faulty methods in the distribution Of
foodstuffs, George p. Hampton, man
aging director of the Farmers National
Council, declared here today. Calling
this n conservative estimate" he at
tackled the existing credit system and
declared It benefits middlemen and
hoarders rather than producers.
"Our national policy is involved in
this situation and It would be cowardy
as well as stupid not to face the facts. ="
Director Hampton said.
"America can either give up agri-
culture and become exclusively or chiefly
a manufacturing and commercial nation
"a condition to which each succeeding
season shows we are rapidly tending
or agriculture must be put on paying
basis. In the former case we would, OF
course, have to import most of the food
supply for the country. Under the
present system Of distribution of farm
products 1t is clear that farmers have
no assurance of costs of production plus
fair profit,
"The prices farmers received per
bushel for wheat fell from July 1 Il
September 1, from $2.538 to $2.187
while the prices for corn were $1.S5t
and 81 ,557; for potatoes, $3.50 ant
$1.S49; for apples, $2.87 and S1.374
for cotton, 37.4 cents and 31.1 cents
for beef cattle, 9.32 cents and S.5t
cents per pound, respectively.
"a most important factor in placinJ
the farmers at the mercy of middlemel
is the relative case with which middle
men hoarders secure credit Will
farmers are unable to secure credit a
all, or can do so only on terms whicl
render their business on the average
noncommercial undertaking.
"A large part Of each years stapl
crops must be carried along during tn
year till needed for consumption. Credi
to do this must be given to the middle
men hoarders or to farmer producers
Farmers difficulty in securing credit t
hold their crops until needed for con
sumption Is largely responsible for tn
slump in prices Of the crops mentioned
though increased freight rates are ais
IN important factor.
''It is imperative that light should b
thrown on the entire money and cred
situation, and that the consumers Of tn
country as a whole should understan
that, while their primary needs are fo
food, the banking and credit system
discouraging farmers from production
because cessation Of farm production Q
reduction of such production to tn
farmers immediate needs Is the newt
, able consequence Of prices that are les
, than cost Of production plus fair prof
, to farmers"

Polo Grounds, this section of the Flat
bush field is shorter than the average
for major league playing fields. The out
fielders are somewhat restricted while
near the foul line. but as the wall verges
to center there is plenty Of territory for
the fly chasers, and few batsmen will
hit the wall on the fly.
Center and left fields will furnish no
restrictions to the ground covering abil- :
ity Of their occupants. Center field is
deeper than at Cleveland. and left field
probably will be the same, figuring on
the new stands which encroach upon
the playing surface at League Park.
The temporary bleachers along the left
field side at Brooklyn are far enough
away to make it difficult to hit ball
into them. ~
Fans attending the series will find the
Flatbush Stadium easy Of access. The
new Brighton Beach subway line has
q station about two minutes walk
from the entrance to Ebbets Field. and
the Brighton Beach elevated line Ia
Just as close. Flatbush avenue cars
from Borough Hall pass close to the
field and other surface lines touch
closely on the eastern and northcrly
side Of the field.
