wholly attributable to reduction in
other assets, so that in reality the re-
suit is like taking money from one
pocket and putting it in another.
The farm inventory, or property list,
offers the only practicable way Of an
swering these questions. Once the
farmer has made a complete list of all
his assets and liabilities and has bal
anced them he knows just what his
net worth is, and when he has made
such a list annually he knows each
year whether he has gone forward or
back and just how much has been the
increase or decrease in the net worth
Of his business.
Detailed Instructions.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has just issued Farmers
Bulletin 1928, entitled "Farm Inven-
tories" in which are given detailed in
structions for making an inventory of
farm property and revising such a list
from year to year. BY using the single
system described in this bulletin any
farmer can determine exactly his
financial status and lay the foundation
for a permanent system Of accounting.
Without the farm inventory as q basis
no system of accounting that might
be chosen would be Of any great use
to the farmer.

through the collective sale of farm
products and purchase of farm sup
plies; the proper financing of all ac-
t~ivities, including the building of
warehouses, the preparation of crops
for market, and their movement to the
markets; and the employment of
trained and efficient business and
sales management.
An organization founded on dire
need with a well-detined purpose has
the best chances of success. Farmers
who are satisfied with the results OBJ
tanned Witloul an organization dc not
feel q need for an association. Neces-
sity for an organization may arise
from the lack of marketing facilities,
or from dissatisfaction with existing
agencies. When a cooperative mar
keting association is under considera-
lion it is advisable to have Il pre-
liminary survey made by competent
local people Or by experienced Coop
erative organization specialists from
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, whose advice and services
are available upon request. In max
ing such a survey care should be taken
to ascertain the need for an ~organiza-
Ion, the attitude of the farmers to-
ard such an undertaking, and the APP
:oXimate development of business
available.
Manager Is keystone.'
The manager is the keystone of the
srganization. His selection is of the
utmost Importance. He should be ex-
%p"rienced in marketing the line of
products intrusted to his care; he
stsoald possess tact and good judg-
ant. and be honest and above sus-
cien. The success of the Organiza-
ION depends upon his ability to meet
The members and the trade with which
he organization deals, and to retain
heir confidence. He should possess
he proper qualifications for the posi-
lion; he should be given broad powers
and the hearty support Of the mem
hers in his work. together with q sal.
AIRY thar will attract ability and be
commensurate with the services ex-
pected of him.

twenty-five hundred spectators
went wild Saturday night at the
district tournament in the August
ana gym when with but 40 seconds
to play. First threw = basket three
quarters of the length Of the big
floor and won the game for Mo-
line. The final score was: Moline,
~; Geneseo. Is.
The fnal between Moline and
Geneseo was a nerve-racking battle.
First Geneseo would forge ahead,
then Moline. The game was close
throughout and both teams used a
flve-man defense. With but two
minutes to play. the count stood
1910 in favor Of Geneseo, and it
looked as il the small town team
would win the tournament. First
tossed two foul goals and then his
winning shot.
Tough for GeneseO.
Tho finish was a heart-breaking
one for the Geneseo team and fans.
With less than a minute left to
play. no one thought Moline could
win, and Geneseo was expected to
add up another of their one-point
victories. This will probably be
the last time Geneseo will have
such q good chance to take the
tourney. Almost the entire village
came to see the boys win.
The game was one Of the closest
ever seen in these parts. Geneseo
using q perfect five-man defense
forced Moline to take the long shot
style Of playing. Moline made al.
most all baskets on long shots
while Gencseo, with clever passing
worked through the Moline defense
for short shots.
Even ut Start.
Both teams fought evenly fol-
seven minutes, the ball going W
and down the floor without a score

players extends after the players
contracts have terminated at tho
end Of the regular playing season..
whether the players actually are
responsible to their owners in q
post-season series.
Another question will be whether
throwing q baseball game is mere
ly a breach Of civil contract or Is
q felony punishable under Illinois
criminal laws. In connection with
this point, Judge on the Pacific
coast in the trial. Of minor league
players there, ruled that game
throwing was only . breach of
civil contract.
Conspiracy Is Denied.
The chief contention of the de-
tense in pleading the Innocence of
the players will be that they never
actually took part in q conspiracy.
The defense has announced that it
will contend that none OF them
actually threw q game and that the
Cincinnati Reds won the 1919 series
on the square.
Cicotte, Williams and Jackson,
who confessed to the jury that
they accepted bribesl are expected
to maintain that although they took
the money they played their best.
The other men are expected to con-
tend that they never entered into
the conspiracy, neither accepting
money nor deliberately making er-
ors.
The state, on the other hand
plans to present evidence tending
to show that there was a conspir-
acy and will attempt to prove that
the men did not play their best
ball. Claude Williams testimony
before the grand jury, that the
players met with Brown and Sui
Ivan previous to the contest in CT
cotte's room and there discussed
the throwing Of the series. will be
presented as evidence Of a con-
spiracy. Cicotte's testimony that he
deliberately hit Rath, the first mar
up in the second game, is expected
to play a big part in the states
case, and the confession Of Cicotte
that he received $4,000 and Of
Williams and Jackson that they re-
ceived 5000 each, also probably
will be used.
! Concerning Confessions
1t is a question, however, how
much weight the confessions may
have. Under the law, if the accus-
ed players do not take the witness
stand, the confessions can be used
only against the men who made
them. Thus, II Weaver, Risberg and
the others who did not confess. dc
not testify in their own behalf. the
confessions of Cicotte. Williams and
jackson could be used only against
Cicotte, Williams and Jackson.
| Weaver and the others contend
that although they knew Of the al
LEGGED conspiracy, they did not TAXI
part in it and did not receive
money.
! George German. an assistant
states attorney, will have charg'
Of the prosecution, while severa
attorneys have been engaged by thu
ball players. The case will CONF
before Judge William E. Dever O
