Saints MAY Lose
Berth in League
Lack of Interest in Western
League Ball at St. Joseph
Said to Be Cause.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. Club
owners of the Western league held
their annual fall meeting here yester-
day and adopted tentative plans for
the 1921 campaign. There is a'possi-
bility that St. Joseph, Mo, may lose
its franchise as a result of the lack
of interest taken there last season.
President Tearney was empowered to
complete the circuit for the 1921 sea-
son and indicated that the St Joseph
franchise might be awarded to anoth-
er city. Nothing definite in this re-
gard will be done, however, until the
schedule meeting after the first OF
the year.
The club owners also decided to
lengthen the 1921 playing season two
weeks longer than the last season
The pennant race will be opened a
week earlier than usual and close a
week later, but a 154-game schedule
will be played the same as last sea-
son. Under the new arrangement, a
large number of double-headers will
be eliminated.
The 1920 season was the biggest
from an attendance standpoint in the
history of the league. President
Tearney's report that> the eight
clubs drew 100000 persons This is
an increase of 50 per cent over the
1919 season. The Tulsa club led
in individual club attendance with
$4,000.
Rejection of the Lasker plan OF
base ball reorganization in the minor
leagues seemed probable tonight.
Claiming that the proposed plan, adopt
ed by the National League club owners 1sr
and three American League clubs In Chi
cago. provides tor government without
representation, the advance guard OF
minor league officials declared they would
oppose every move of the major leagues
to present the pian for adoption tomorrow.
The stand was taken that the Minor
leagues are capable of governing thenl-
selves and that they would continue to
direct their own sffairs.
David l.. Fultz, president of the Inter-
nationak League characterized the action
taken III Chicago today as childish"
TT seems to me to be conclusive evil
dence that the eight national league clubs
need somebody to run their affairs Mr.
Fuitz said "The split of the Major
leagues was childish piece CT action.

PURCHASES MORE LAND

Peter Kron, who lives on his fine
farm five miles south of Conrath, was
in Ladysmith Monday and pushed his
subscription up a couple of years to
protect himself against the raise in the
subscription price which is sure to come
soon.
Mr.. Kron bought the so acres where
the buildings are located, nine years

SO that it makes very comfortable
home He has barn room 34X36, of logs
and lumber. Last fall he refused 1925

ing bought the adjoining 40 acres of
wild land at $50 per acre. This 40
acres could not be bought from him
today for 500 per acre as it is nearly
all open high land and is easily worth
the latter price.

BRUSH AND SEED
is THE FIRST STEP

The first figures given as a basis
of activity in the Rusk County Mil
lion Dollar Land Clearing Contest
were 2b acres cleared to pillow, and
) acres brushed and seeded. The
best bet on this land is TO brush and
seed first. The man who puts most
of his time in brushing and seeding
the first couple of years is going to be
way ahead of the man who starts in
getting land ready and blowing at
once. Land gets better every year
after being brushed and seeded and
the longer it lays in meadow or pas
tllre. the easier it cleans up for the
pillow. This land will yield enough
grass or hay to pay big returns on
the basis of 500 per acre. After
brushing and seeding it would near
~ clear itself if pastured or moved
and given time enough.

WILD LAND HERE
WORTH S1OO PER ACRE

Our wild land varies in price from
$3.50 per acre to 500 per acre. The
500 per acre land is apt to be the
cheapest. For example, take piece
of wild land that has been cut over for
l. or Is years and has had several hard
fires SO all that's necessary to make
farm land or meadow is little picking
up. who can say that this land is not
worth 500 per acre providing it is
gently rolling, well located and on a
good road?
The man who buys this open land
even at the higher price will have a
productive farm several years sooner
than his neighbors who choose the
green timber land.

The Diary of an Engaged Girl

Posed again for Morgan this a. m.

that l laughed at her and told her
that such was all unnecessary and
most ncnsensical.
Then, too, she had been with her
Morgan the night before, and from
the radiant look on both their faces
l should judge that they had passed
the honey-sweet hours in the same
manner that we had.
We were all very gay and posses

Laura, it seems, also suffers greatly

while the boys were smoking and look,
