Wages and Prices

When a generous minded and lib.
eral minded employers, under last
years conditions, found that he was
making a good deal of money, his
first thought was to give his help a
voluntary increase in pay. 1t was
just and necessary step in many
cases. Yet there were many in
stances where better effect would
have been produced on the country
as whole by keeping wages where
they were reducing the prices of the
goods.
Capital and labor often agree har-
moniously on very high rates of
wages and pass the full cost on to
the public for some one else to pay.
This has left large classes of people,
who have not had their full advances
in pay, restless and dissatisfied.
A raise in pay always makes things
temporarily smoother in the industry
where it is effective. But it creates
friction in every other industry where
people have to pay the higher cost
for the product.

ton, but the main library has a direct
country cirulation Of 6,2S1 volumes.
The large collection of books at the
main library is attractive to country
book borrowers.
Another incentive to country read
ers has been the cooperation between
tn farm adviser and the home-demon,
stration agent and the county librar-
ians. These extension workers, sent
out by the United States Department
of Agriculture and the State agricul-
tural college, make arrangements
with the library authorities to forward
books on fly control, clothing, and
study of food to the communities
where these subjects have been dis
cussed at the centers and where they
are to be countrywide projects for the
coming year.

Mems Fashions

The moguls of style in Paris, Now
York, and other capitals of fashion
still seem to control women's cos
tunes pretty well. They. persuade
the women to throw away clothes be-
fore they are half worn out, and
thereby increase sales.
Designers of mems clothing have
always wanted similar style changes
in mems wear. They would like
more color and other startling ef
fects. But the men draw back from
frills and fads.
In conformity to this feeling, the
designers of mems clothing announce
that they are giving up the tight suits
that they sold through the war, and
will substitute natural fitting coat
Therein they show their good sense
The average man wishes to think as
little as possible about his clothes.
He desires substantial material and a
quiet pattern that will attract atten-
tion. He does not care at all whether
he conforms to the latest Broadway
whim.

How A City Library Helps Farmers

Few city libraries have as many
country book borrowers as t h y
should, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, but the free
public library at Stockton. California,
is a pleasant exception to the rule.
Not only does it send out travelling
libraries to communities and school
districts but it also encourages the
country people to make direct use of
the main library. Aside from the lib
eral policy of the trustees of the
Stockton library, its central location
and good roads leading to the city
have been big assets in the building
up of the large country circulation.
There are now 80 communities and
% school districts that are receiving
county free library service from Stock

and the second team and Hamilton
meet in curtain raiser at two O'Clock.
week, when the locals were moved
down by the Fairfield attack, Coach
Crimmins' men expect to defeat Cen
terville in the coming clash.
Little is known of the general
strength of the visitors, but if the To-
Gals play the game against them that
they did against Rock Island they will
be assured of victory. Last week
must have been sort of hoodoo week
for the southeastern Iowa teams. Keo-
kuk was beaten by Fairfield. So to z;
Fort Madison by Winfield. SO to 0,
and Burlington by Iowa City, 43 to o.
This week may mark turning point
in the fortunes of the squads from
this section.
Keokuk is working hard for the Cen
terville game and is expected to pre-
sent strong front. If the line can
be developed SO as to hold, the often
sive strength of the squad may be re-
lied upon. The defense was weak last
Friday just as it wavered in the Rock
Island game. Douglas is credited by
the Fairfield papers with being the
bright light for Keokuk in the often
siye, and with Millspaugh, Schlotter
and PARCELS, should give Keokuk q
speedy, plunging set of backs.
The curtain raiser has ben arranged
for by the second team, which will
engage Hamilton. The second team
is composed of younger players, and
men who probably will have perma-
nent berths in the team next year.
Their work Saturday will, no doubt,
be watched with keen interest.
The first game will be called at two
o'clock and the regular game an hour
later.

PEACE OR WAR
IN BASEBALL
Will There be New Twelve Club
League or Will Laskcr Plan 90
Through With All in Har-
mony7

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
CHICAGO, Oct 20.-Organized base
bali today awaited a declaration Of
peace or war from the five American
league club owners who have not act
ed on the "Lasker plan" for reorgani-
|zation of the game
Refusal of the owners of the Cleve-
Land, st. Louis, Washington, Detroit
and Philadelphia clubs to sanction the
work of the National league In joint
meeting with three American league
magnates will cause renewal of war
fare, baseball experts here predicted
today.
The eleven magnates who have
|abrogated the national agreement and
determined to organize a twelve CLUB
league Ii necessary, expressed conf
dence the loyal i've" will accept the
Lasker plan before November l.
John McGraw, part owner of the
New York Giants, and Barney Drey-
fuss, Of the Pittsburgh club, declared
there was nothing for the Ave Ameri-
can league Clubs to do but join the
new organization
They can't run a league with five
or six teams said McGraw.
eff they attempt a legal fight or
another battle they are up against the
millions of william G. Wrigley, Jr.,
and other muHi-millionsires who have
declared for the new deal"
John Heydler, president OF the Ma
tional league, pointed out a number
of advantages a twelve club leagne
would have over the present system.
"The trips would be shorter and less
frequent and cities like Chicago and
New York would have the advantage
of continuous city series which
would be sure to create considerable
interest"
The twelve club league would not
mean the death Of world series, accord
ing to Charles Stoneham, part owner
Of the New York Giants.
I'VE had twelve club league IN the
late eos, and the same arrangement
for series play could be used" Stone
ham said. "This would be to divide
the season, the winners Of the first
half of the season playing the WIN
Iners Of the last half This has been
used effectively recently in some
minor leagues"
That the minor leaguers win readily
agree to the Lasker plan was the
opinion Of major league owners.
