will be 10 his greatest advantage TO do
so.
The farmers in the potato growing
section of Maine have period OF
about seventy days to market their
crop. The case of one man in ArOO-
stock county and what he did TO put
his yearly returns in the plus column
is not only interesting but typical of
how these men solved their haulage
difficulties.
This particular grower had a $50.
acre potato farm situated seven and
one-half miles from railroad IL
yielded about 80 barrels to the acre
for a total crop of around $4,000 bar
rels year. Road conditions were
such that one team of horses could
haul but 20 barrels to load and make
but one trip 4 day to the railroad stOr
age house. In other words, he required
20 teams TO handle his crop if he got II
to the warehouse in the 20 days be-

There was a fixed price Of S2.15 per

Regardless of the shortage of labor

for his not securing the full profits due

farmer who can convert the spoilage

Church Can Use Movies
As Force for Good. Backus

The hour for moving pictures in
the church has come" said the Rev.
A. H. Backus, pastor of the Grace
Methodist church, Sunday night. His
subject was "Visualizing Christianity,
or the Old, Old Story in a New Way"
The Rev. Backus took his text from
the words of Habakkuck, Write the
vision and make it plain upon tables
(canvas) that he may run that
readeth."
In part, the Rev. Backus said:
THE moving picture is the greatest
power in modern life for good or evil.
Grin G. Cocks, secretary Of the board
of National Review of moving pictures
recently declared before the National
Educational association, that the local
theatre exhibitor has a greater power
over the morals of the community than
the minister, teacher. and social work
er combined. If this be true, then it
is time for the Church of Jesus Christ
to arise and have its word in the kind
of pictures which are being displayed
in a community.
Grace Church has installed a mov-
ing picture machine. We propose to
use 1t in connection with the legiti-
mate work of the church. An ounce
of picture is worth a ton of talk .

CIVILIAN TRIBUNAL
TO DIRECT BASEBALL
WITH REORGANIZATION
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Oct 1S.-Discussion OF
plans for the reorganization OF base
ball. under a civilian" tribunal was
started here today at joint meeting
of National and American League cruz
owners. All the members OF the Nat
jonaI League headed by their presi-
dent. John A. Heydler, were present
as were representatives OF the ChlCd-
90. New York and Boston American
League clubs
3. B. Johnson, president of the AM
erican League had announced tnat ne
would not attend the meeting ana the
five members, Washington, Cleveland
St. Louis, Detroit and Philadelpnla'
who aligned themselves with MIN IN
the fight last winter, were not expect
ed to attend. :,
The chief topic today was the dis
cussion Of the Lasker plan or reor-
ganization, which, If adopted, would
place control of professional baseball
under a civilian" tribunal or three
men not interested financially in the
game. This would result in the doing
away of the national commission
which body has been without a chair
man since the resignation of August
Hermann, of Cincinnati, last fall.
The reason given by Mr.. Johnson
for not attending the meeting, was
that he did not think it advisable at
this time to discuss reorganization
because Of startling evidence he
thought might come before the Cook
county grand jury" when 1t recon
venes tomorrow to continue its in
vestigation of the baseball scandal.
The conference is the outcome OF
suggestions made following grand
jury disclosures of crooked work In
the 1919 worlds series.
