 MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR

 Baseball has closed the most prosperous year in it's history The estimated cleanup" for the majors is in the neighborhood of $10.000, 900. Not club in either circuit lost money. Every one made huge profits even the low iy Athletics and Phillies.
 The tail-end clubs didn't draw so well at home, but when on the road, and pitted against outfits that were in the pennant fight, the crowds simply packed in. And the visiting teams gathered in 50 per cent of the 'spoils.
 The Yankees, with Babe Ruth as the magnet, are reported as having cleared close to $2, GOO. .0O0 on the year-a profit far in ex- cess of anything in the long anv nals of the game. The Indians garnered in the vicinity of $850. 900. and the Dodgers grabbed off nearly $750,O00 The White Sox, packing the parks at home and abroad. are said to have netted | Comiskey more than half a mill lion.

Farm Bureau Notes

CARTHAGE, Ill, July 12.-The fol.
lowing bulletin has been sent out by
y. H. Lloyd, advisor Of the Hancock
county farm bureau:
The Hancock county farm bureau
and the Illinois Agricultural associa-
ton will make a livestock survey OF
Hancock county within the next two
weeks. This is the initial step in
the livestock marketing program.
In order to render any service in
stabilizing markets, obtaining cars, or
planning to take care of increases or
decreases in production, it will be
necessary for the farmers to know
what livestock they have on hand.
TSe packing industry has long known
these figures, and the government
guesses at them, but 1t is up to the
farmers to obtain for themselves
exact knowledge of the livestock
situation. This years trimming GER
tainly is enough to last a long while.
The corn belt states are joining
with Illinois in this movement. 1t
will probably be necessary to collect
this information quarterly, but the
work for any one man will be small
indeed as compared to the benefit.
One man will get the reports from
the farmers living on one section Of
land, so the report may be had
promptly and without too much work
on the part Of anyone. The reports
are of such nature that no one need
to hesitate to give the information
that Is called for.
Knox and Henry counties have
completed their surveys and other
have just been finished. or
are in the process of being surveyed.
This Is the most important and far
reaching piece of work ever under
taken for the man who feeds live
stock, and every farmer is asked to
help the farm bureau and state asso-
citation in this undertaking.

of June 20, of $4,000. He has also

The Rev. Mr. Benson said: Il

to be here, even il the trains n
Iowa do seem to hold hoodoo
against me- But I'm glad my wife

a bit askant at his business suit.
