day was blisteringly hot The thermome-

There was marked contrast in the
demeanor of the boxers as they entered

Four Teams Are Now Tied
for HOnors - Two
Good Games

The BrattlebOro local league staged a
genuine comeback Saturday afternoon
when the two teams that were down-and-
cutters the previous week, strengthened
by new material, turned the tables on the
teams that treated them so rough in their
last encounter.
Not only did they stage a comeback
but they played brand of ball that is
hard to beat particularly the first game
of the afternoon between the Last x
Wood Heel Co, and the :. \. Smith Mfg.
Co, which the former team won, to
3. after nine innings to do 20. The see

Company ! had also been bolstered up
but were shy a legitimate pitcher. BY
consent of the league officials, however.
Fisher of the $. y. Smith Co. team was
allowed to do the twirling and added
material strength to the team.
The exhibition which the local teams
put up Saturday was we'll worth the pat
ronage of the fans who so far have
turned out in small numbers. With the
teams so evenly matched there should be
some good baseball and incidentally
some good crowds in the near future.
First Game.
The Last & Wood Heel Gothic s. A.
Smith Mfg. Co was the first game on the
schedule for the afternoon and turned
out to be a star attraction. Both sides
were retired without scoring in the first
inning but the Toymakers broke the ice

LAND IRRIGATED BY INDIANS
Before the Advent Of the Spanlards
the System Was In Vogue Among
the Aborialnes.

Irrigation began in Texas many
years before the lands embraced
within its boundaries became part
of the United States, years before
those same lands made up what was
known as the Lone Star republic,
writes James Il. Freddy in the Ameri-
can Forestry Magazine.
To bring the time down to a more
tangible date, the first irrigation work
was done-according TO tradition
when the Pueblo Indians constructed
the peculiar bitches about FL Paso
and the Pecos country, which author
tiles of today claim were built for irri-
cation purposes. Another tradition
coming out of the past tells that these
bitches were built by the Yuma In
diahs when they were driven west
ward by the Comanches and Apaches,
and not by the Pueblos.
When Coronado, the rowing ex-
plorer, opened this country to the
Spaniards he found well-worked irri-
cation systems among the Indians;
this was in 1910 when he was pushing
toward the north. The practice of
irrigation was continued under the
franciscan fathers, who constructed
the five, mission bitches that were
found near the present city of San
Antonio. Even under Mexican rule
the work did not stop, and grants by
the Mexican government often read
as follows:
in the name Of the Mexican ma
ton, grants him one dAy of water with
It's corresponding labor of land"

FROM LOVELY TOLL TO FAME
Edwin DalIin, Ranked as Great Sculp-
tor, Was Once WheeIbarrow Boy
in Mine in Utah.

One of Americas greatest sculp-
tors, Edwin Dallin, was once a wheel
barrow boy in a mine in Utah, where
he toled all day for less than dollar.
The miners uncovered u stratum of
white clay one morning, and Dallin,
forgetting his work, sat down and be-
gan to model a likeness of one of the
workmen. So lifelke was it that his
teacher, when he returned to school
in the fail sent it and some of his
drawings to a state fair being held
in Salt Lake City. A rich mine owner
had his attention called to the little
clay bust and he offered to furnish
the boy transportation to Boston
where he could enter an art school.
The hoy worked long and hard, and
by the time he was twenty one he had
a studio of his own, the Detroit News
recalls. He went to Paris shortly
afterward and began a series of In
clan poses, using the Indians from the
Buffalo Bill show at that time in
France. His first masterpiece, THE
Signal of Peace" was finished at that
time and he was recognized there
after as one of the worlds greatest
sculptors. His Ann Hutchinson"
made for the Boston state house The
Medicine Man" in Paramount park,
Philadelphia, and the great golden an
gel on the Mormon temple in Salt
Lake City are among his best known
works.

WHAT AILS AGRICULTURE
by international News Service.


High frieghts, lack of sufficient
credits and particularly lack of credit
extensions when most needed, the OPP
orations of the federal reserve system
the demoralized export markets, the
tiuctuating foreign exchange on for
eign money, and dozen simmilar ills
have been diagnosed by Missouri far
mers who produce accurately kept
farm account records and other da-
ia TO back up their statements.
When farmers can walk into the
county hearings, called almost with
out warning, and lay on the table
their accounts showing exactly how
much money it costs to produce Il
bushel of grain or hundred pounds
OF beef or pork and then can show the
actual loss that must be taken by the
farmer at present market prices, it
speaks mighty we'll for farming as Il
business. When the results OF similar
hearings in the forty-siX states that
are affiliated with the American
Farm Bureau Fed Grafton are laid be-
fore the Congressional Committee
Con gress is.going TO have enough
actual data to see what conditions
are and there is going to be enough
practical suggestions for remeding
the situation to keep Congress busy
until Christmas.
That farmers know pretty defin-
ately What Ais Agriculture" the re-
ports show conclusively. Actual costs
OF Production are used in comparison
with the marketing charges, trans
production and ultimate selling
prices.
Unreasonably high freight rates
are attributed by many farmers as the
cause of great part OF the trouble.
Where a few years ago it cost far
mer only one bushel of grain to ship
seventeen to the primary market.
he must now give up to the railroad
company, one bushel out of every six
shipped. The policy of the federal re-
serve board has come in for lot OF
criticism and many well informed
farmers demand the policy be chang
ed, by legislation if necessary.
Other remedies suggested by the
witnesses called by the Farm Bureau
include protective tariffs on raw mat
erials imported in competition with the
farm products, an adjust
ment of foreign exchange rates and
a consequent opening of export mar
Sets to the American farmers, and eX-
tension of credit facilities rather than

heir losses as the farmer has done.
