John Alderman, c. H. Noltimier and
several others who have been attend
ing the tri-state grain growers con-
vention at Fargo the past few days,
returned home on the local last night,
and reports a most interesting time
with some good speakers on hand.
Some Of them went out to see the
Equity Packing Plant and come back
much impressed with what they saw.
They say it is a wonderful institution.
The packing plant is a necessary and
much needed institution and should be
made of great benefit to the farmers
and people Of this state. This is one
of the real needs of the state and if
properly managed should bring in
good returns. 1t should furnish q
good market for the saleable stock Of
Che farmers of this state.

Panthers Have Last Practice
 Before Battle
Birmingham-Southern Grid ders Leave for vandy to
 Engage Commodores
Fly JOHN F.. HOLMES

With the first snap of cold weather tingling in their veins, Coach Charlie Browns squad showed much pep at yesterday afternoons practice
 This was the last practice before the Panthers Journey to Nashville to meet the Vanderbilt eleven. The entire weeks practice has been hard and the ill-fated victory over the Hamilton Aggies has not lessened their punch.
 Eddie Lewis, the stellar halfback, displayed his old-time skill at punt ing, the oval at times making sixty to seventy yards flight.
 Despite his slight injuries, Evans came up to form and seems sure of the center position. Neese. Hodge and Red" Richardson are disputing for places on the line as guards, while Fropst and Green seem sure as tackles.
 Very noticeable has been the work of Baker, the ex-star of the Albert vile aggregation. at one end of the line. Since Gandy's injuries will put him out for a while, Baker is almost certain to be at an end position when the starting whistle blows at the Vandy game. Baty will probably be shifted to the other end position.
 There is no doubt of ''Tanlac" Bur- ney's place at quarter and Miller at full Lewis is sure of one of the half positions, while Brinskelli, Speer and Griffin are contending for the other.
 On account of injuries sustained in day before yesterdays practice, Staton will be unable to make the trip.

Princeton Eleven to Meet Chicago
First Game of Series Will Be
 Played October 21

Chicago. September 20--An doubt of the 1921-22 series between the Princeton and Chicago football teams not being arranged has been removed by the am nouncement that the first game between these two universities will be played at Der p, 1921
 Coach A. A. Stagg of the University of Chicago, who has so energetically and successfully attended to the Maroon end of the negotiations. in expressing hts warm appreciation of the possibilities ot these contests, says:
 Princeton will find in the University of Chicago a good, high-cla competitor with definite ideals of sportsmanship. and I haven't any doubt that Chicago will find in the customers the same sort of a competitor.
 Undoubtedly Chicago and the west will to certain extent get some benefit from Princeton and the east. It is un- deniably true that both will find each is made of the same sort of stuff and that their meetings will result in mutual admiration for one another. And of
 
 antly. If the east finds that the western boys are hgh-grade competitors amt sportsmen, as the west will find the eastern boys. there will develop mutual respect for one another which will be extended to the body polite"
 Chicago has met four eastern institu- tions on the gridiron. These were Penn- sylvania, Cornell. Brown and West Point. The Maroons played home-ant- home series with the first two, which makes the Princeton series the third with eastern teams.
 The first series, with Pennsylvania in 1898. 1899, 1900 and 1901. went to the east erners, the scores being 11-23 5-5, OH and 0-1l in favor of Pennsylvania. In 1885 Chicago played it's first game with Cor nell, winning 17-6. The Cornell series ran from 1908 to 1911. The two teams broke even. The first two years they tied at 6-6 in each game. Then Cornell beat Chicago ls-0 and in 1911 Chicago de- feated Cornell GO.
 The games with Brown University were both played at Chicago in 1899 and 1900 The first went to Chicago 17-6. but Brown came back strong the next year and beat the Maroons 11-6. Chicago only remaining encounter with the east was in 1903. when West Point beat the westerners in a desperate battle, 1O-6

recommended to be worn by the upper classmen is the difference in the class numeral. each freshman class adopting the cap with it's numeral when it enters school and continuing the wearing of it, with the same numeral throughout the four years at the University.
 This plan met with the hearty support of all the freshmen and they appointed committee to make arrangements for the ordering of the caps immediately It is hoped that the adoption of this method of distinction will prove the solution ot problem which has been apparent on the campus since the opening of school this fall Numbers of upper class men have signified their desire to wear the cap, and the freshmen, at their meeting. pledged themselves to enforce the wear ing of it in their class. themselves. They also desire it to be distinctly understood that this is not to be freshman cap" but school cap"
 This plan has the indorsement of the university officials.

Investigation Of
 Baseball Scandal
 To Be Continued
Every Suspicious Game With in Past Eighteen Months to
 Be Reviewed

Chicago September 9O-A declaration that the investigation of the 1919 worlds series baseball scandal would be con- tinued by a special jury was made in a statement issued today by Chief Jus tice Charles A. Mcdonald, who ordered the original inquiry. Every suspicious game, he declared that has been played within the last eighteen months, either in the National or American league, will come within the purview of the inveSti- gation.
 The investigation which has resulted in the voting of true bills against eight White SoX players, including Chick Gandil, who was not with the team this year. the judge declared, still has much to accomplish
 "To this end, he added. 'the present grand jury will be incorporated as a. special body Saturday and will go ahead until it has sifted down the evidence to the last discriminating fact Every suspicious game which has been played within the last eighteen months in either league will be within the purvlew Of the investigation.
 There need be- no doubt about the prosecution of guilty players and their conspiratorS. None of those who have confessed has been granted immunity; in fact, each has specificany waved it. Of course it will be natural for the prosecution to take into consioeration services which the indicted men have performed for the state, but it does not mean they will escape indictment
 August Hermann, president of the Gin cinnati Reds, last years pennant winners, and former chairman of the national baseball commission, who was asked here today to present whatever docu- ments he had bearing on the 1919 series, and Clyde Elliott, motion picture man, who aided Charles Comiskey, president of the Chicago White Sox, in his inves- tigation of the series, are to be the next witnesses before the grand jury. It was also asserted that efforts will be made to obtain statements from two White Sox nlaYerS who have been suspended.

GOTHAM SERIES CALLED
 OFF BY CHAS. STONEHAM

New York, September 30.-Possibilty of a post season series of games between the New York Giants and the New York Yankees was eliminated today upon the arrival here of Charles A. Stoneham, president of the Giants, rom Cuba. Ad- hitting that such a series would be great attraction, MT. Stoneham based his objections on the grounds that the people would say the games were played for mercenary reasons; that they might affect the attendance at the worlds series in Brooklyn. and that the games would necessitate keeping the players of both teams together for a period too long after the close of the season.

Shipping conditions, which have been
bad and worse than bad, are gradually
mending. Goods are now received for
Chicago and points east Both last
week and this week have seen some
1918 tobacco go out of storage. Not a
great deal when the amount of case
tobacco stored in the state is consider
ed, but the fact that. goods can be
moved again is cheering to the trade.
The cleanup of the 1919 still in the
hands of the growers is not yet fin
ished, though sales are made wherever
the buyer finds the kind of tobacco he
wants, at the figures mentioned week
ago. Most of the tobacco contracted
for is now received, and the grower
has his money. The warehouses have,
probably, reached the peak of speed in
the handling of the crop. New hands
are not coming in, and some of the as
sorters who have seed beds of their
own to look after for the seasons
planting are out tending to that work.
Yet, things are moving well enough
considering the handicap of the labor
shortage. One of the troubles that all
employers have to contend with, and
that also is found in the tobacco indus
try these days, is the wages are so
high that the careless and irresponsible
class, especially of the younger set,
will work half Of the time, or four days
Of the week, and loaf the rest of the
time, as they have enough to carry
them through the week without work
ing every day. High pay is not an in
ducement to steady work. except for
the person who knows the value of op-
portunity and the need of uninterrupted
service. The seed beds are coming in
fair shape in most places, generally a
little slow.
Edgerton shipments out during the
last six days, 6 care of cases and cars
of bundles. Received during the same
period, 48 cars of bundles and cars of
cases.

New York. April

M NEW Onh, ApIA 40, 1OAV.
The Water Street market continues
to show little activity. The real reason
undoubtedly lies in the fact that the To-
cal packers have so little in the way of
most desired grades to offer. Certainly
there is no sign of let-up in demand.
The tone of the entire domestic leaf
market is decidedly strong, with indi-
cations of decidedly upward trend in
every type. Reports from the various
packing centers bear out the assump-
tion of the packers that the onward
and upward march of cigar leaf prices
must continue for an indefinite period,
says the Tobacco Leaf, and it contin-
ues: Force-sweated binder stocks con-
tinue to move, at very high range of
prices, as rapidly as they come into the
market. The status of the binder sit
uation for another year at least is too
well known and too plainly evident to
call for further comment at this time.
The continuation of very high prices
for all binder stocks is foregone con-
clusion Whether there will be suffi-
cient supply to meet the needs of the
industry, is an all important question
to which packers have, as yet, appar-
emily no very encouragingly reply.

to a standstill. All of the warehouses
are operating with short crews, and
there is fully six weeks of work ahead.

HARTFORD, CT., April 20, 1920.
Less Havana Seed and more Broad
leaf and Shadegrown tobacco will be
cultivated by the Connecticut tobacco
farmers this coming season. Because
of the greater expense in its cultiva-
ton it is considered remarkable that
the tendency should be to raise more
Shadegrown this year, but the present
indications are that from 5000 TO 5000
acres of Shadegrown will be cultivated
in Connecticut in 1920, says the U. S.
Tobacco Journal. 1t is estimated that
it will cost about $1,000 per acre to
raise the Shadegrown this year. The
principal increase in the cost is the adj
vance i'm price of the cotton cloth, and
the doubling in price of the cost of
labor.

Pennsylvania


LANCASTER, Pa, April %, 1920
The praises of the 1910 crop ring loud
among the packers. The more they
look at it the better they like it. The
objection that it was light in weight is
quieted by the promise that the leaf
will yield 10 per cent more cigars than
an equal number of pounds of the 1918.
The demand for the new packing is
brisk The tobacco sweated very quick
ly, and some of the early lots are ready
for the manufacturer. The black rot
scare did not materialize; there is a
little of it but not enough to worry any
body. While the seed beds for the
new crop are ready, they are not doing
extra well. The indications are mid
June planting and late harvest. Dele
gates to the national Tobacco Mer-
chants convention in Washington, May
10 and 20, have been elected.
