red hot heat following meeting OF
the stockholders in the Richmond Elk
hfbition company. which has been call
ed for next Monday evening at the
Commercial club rooms. At this meet

town will be decided.
Negotiations are under way to put

three, baseball equal, II not superior.
to that offered by the Central league
in 1917 will be shown. According to
director, the outcome of Mondays
meeting will determine largely wheth-
er or not Richmond will have real
baseball next summer. or whether 1t
will be content with semi-pro ball.
Three-l Offers Berth.
Offers have been made by officials
of the Three-I league to give Rich
mond q berth in that organization,
with Fort Wayne. BY obtaining two
teams in Eastern Indiana in the
league, the directors hope to be able
to cut the expenses sufficiently to
make these teams pay. Richmond was
offered berth In the Three-1 last
year. but travelling expenses would
have been too high to obtain an even
financial break.
This year, however. the expenses
will be cut in half, II Fort Wayne and
Richmond enter the league. The pro-
posed Three-I including the eastern
teams, would include Peoria, Moline,
Bloomington, Davenport, Evansville,
Terre Haute, Fort Wayne and Rich
mond.
Several promoters have placed
offers with directors Of the local or.
ganization for franchise in the pro-
posed Central league, which would
include six teams. The Central league,
which at present appears to be the
weakest Of the three, offered to local
fans would include Fort Wayne, Ev-
apsville, Muskegon, Grand Rapids,
Springfield and Richmond.
Fort Wayne and Evansville are both
willing to join with Richmond, in
whatever league local hackers decide
to enter, and the strength OF the
league is largely dependent on prompt
action on the part of the Richmond
organization. AS a member of the
Central league, Richmond's travelling
expenses would be much smaller than
in either of the other leagues, as a
local team would be In the center
Of the circuit, and would have no
great jumps to make on road trips

BLACK CLOUD over
WHITE HEAVY WEIGHTS

A menacing black cloud is looming
athwart the course Of the white heavy
weights, says an eastern critic. Harry
Wills, the crack colored boxed from
New Orleans, Is bearing down on them,
insisting upon recognition in the title
chase. He would dispute the claims
OF Fred Fulton and all the other con-
tenders to a match with Champion
Jack Dempsey.
Wills is returning east from the
Pacific coast, where he has been cam
paigning with consistent success for
several months. His manager, Paddy
Mullins, who also handles Mike
O'Dowd, the worlds middleweight
champion, is seeking matches for him
with the foremost white heavyweights.
Dave Mackay, matchmaker of the
Newark Sportsmen's club, has Mullin' g
signature to contract on Wills serv-
ices.
Both Fulton and Moran have agreed
to meet Wills If the bout can be
brought about. Moran never did draw
the color line. Fulton through his
manager. Tom O'Rourke, has declared
nat he will meet all corners, regard
less Of color, until he has canclusively
demonstrated his right to a return
match with Dempsey.

BEST LITTER FOR
POULTRY HOUSE

Litter for the poultry house floor Is
not only necessary In plentiful quanti-
ties. but II should also be If satlsfac-
tory quality. The two main points are
to have material that will not break
up into chafr or powder too quickly,
and which will not be inclined to alb
sorb moisture. Litter that breaks up
quickly makes the house overly dusty
and often causes disease of the nose
or throat or sore eyes by fine particles
being thrown into the hens eyes when
scratching. Litter that absOrbs mois-
ture quickly is especially bad In the
winter months, when sunshine Is
scarce and has little drying power.
Damp or filthy litter often makes a
good breeding place for disease germs.
Litter should always be material that
Is digestible If eaten by the hens, for
a certain amount Is invariably con-
sumed.
Wheat or rye straw Is one of the best
materials for the litter, as 1t is tough
and lasts well, although at the same
time light enough In weight that the
hens can easily kick 1t around. These
straws also have the desirable quality
of being slow to absorb moisture. Dat
straw does not make quite such good

human nature for the farmer to save,
believing they should be best for seed,
are more often than not abnormal ears,
due to late maturing or to some defect
which nature has endeavored to cor
rect during the period Of growing by
the use of abnormal methods. As a
general thing, the offspring Of such an
ear Is weak.
A medium sized ear, say ten and n
half or eleven inches long, with a cir
conference of approximately seven
inches, Is about right. Straight rows
indicate careful selection and breeding
In the seed which produced the ear,
and for this reason are desirable. On
the other hand, some varieties of corn
are known by their Enthusiastically
crooked rows and should not be dis
eliminated against. An average ear of
the size stated will weigh about IA
ounces when its moisture content Is
Is per cent, and II will shrink In length
from one to two inches during the
process Of drying. OF course 1t will
also shrink in circumference, which Is
something that is not generally OBJ
served by farmers.
Before the selected corn Is finally
stored II must be dried out, so that its
moisture content will fall as low as Is
per cent, If possible. Under such cen
ditiOns even a very hard freeze will
have little or no effect on the vitality
of the seed. If the drying out process
can be carried on In room where
there is stove heat. or In another room
near enough to get the heat from a
stove, so much the better.
One of the best and simplest meth
DDS of storing seed corn Is to tie 1t up
with binder Irvine, each string con-
tanning from II to Is ears. These
strings may be suspended from wires
strung in the barn or other places
where the corn Is to be kept, and II is
important that the individual ears
should not touch each other. Corn
that is to be used for seed should never
be piled up.
The best place to store corn is some
place where 1t is dry, and where there
is room for the circulation of air
between the ears or rows. If room
or attic In the farmhouse can be
utilized for this purpose, 1t makes an
ideal storing place. But If any out
building must be used, care should be
taken that the spot where the corn Is
to,be hung Is MS free from fampness at
all times as possible.
The corn crop Of 1918 on 104, 467, 900
acres amounted to 2502, 665,000 bush
els, worth $3,416,240,0O0. The final re-
port a the department of agriculture
gives the acreage Of 1919 as 102075.-

To Heat House to IS Deg.
Instead Of 10 Deg. Means
II Per Cent Fuel Increase

Every possible measure should be
taken to save all the coal that Is pos
slble throughout the winter-and
every winter. as far rs that goes"
says Prof. A.NC Willard Of the depart
ment of heating and ventilation OF the
University Of Illinois. ut Is never 100
late to save coal and every user OF this
fuel should observe the following sug-
gestions which are given as a result
of long Investigations conducted at the
university on how to get the most heat
from the least amount Of coal:
Heating surfaces should be Kept
clean and free from SCOT and ash ac-
cumulations and the entire ash pit
should be cleaned daily.
"Grates should be true and not
warped, should move easily and should
have no broken places for coal to drop
through. Unburned or partly burned
coal should not appear In the ashes at
any time.
1.-THE fuel pot should be kept full,
with fire surface at the level OF hre
door; let ashes accumulate on mot
under) the CRATES In mild weather;
CRATES should not be shaken too long
nor violently, and clinkers should be
removed with as little disturbance OF
the fire as possible. Do not shake or
disturb very low fire until you have
added and ignited little fresh fuel.
"Antlcpate the heating demand by
firing promptly when the outside tenn
perature begins to drop, or the WIND
increases. DO not allow a fire to burn
TOO thin nor to develop holes In the
fire bed.
"If the heater is small for its work,
do not use coal containing large
amount of fine material.
"The house should be kept at uni
form temperature and should not be
allowed to cool down more than III
degrees at night.
"The temperature of all rooms
should be as low as is consistent with
comfort. To heat house to 20 de-
grees f. instead of 70 degrees F. with
an average outside temperature OF ~
degrees +. for the entire heating sea-
son means II per cent increase IN
fuel consumption"
