JAP TEAM WONT
PLAY THE VARSITY.
Word Is Received That
Team Cannot Play
W.V.U.

MoRGANTowN, May 2. = lso
Abe, manager of the waseda uni.
verslty baseball team Of Tokyo,
Japan, which will make a tour of
the United States this spring, has
notified the West Virginia uniyer.
sity athletic authorities that his
team will be unable to play the
Mountaineers on the trip this year.
This word was received here this
morning in the form OF u letter from
Abe, who is the father OF base
ball" in Japan, and who has brought
several japanese collegiate teams
TO this country.
When it was learned that Vase,
da intended TO tour the states this
year, Director Stansbury immedl-
ately cabled Abe for one or two
games TO be played here early in
June. He hoped to bring Waseda
here for at least one game while
the team was en- route from Chi.
cago, ILL.,, where they play the UNI.
verslty Of Chicago, to Cambridge,
Mass, where they will play Har
ward. Director Stansbury specified
the dates Of June 10 and II in his
cablegram, but Abe's delayed an.
swer led him to schedule Washing.
ton and Jefferson college for that
week end. 1t is fortunate for West
Virginia that Director Stansbury
did not wait for reply from
Waseda, because II the dates would
have been held open until today 1t
would have been too late TO have
scheduled team of the Presidents
calibre to come here.
In hts letter Abe stated that
Waseda's itinerary for the trip had
just been completed several days
before the cablegram arrived, and
that II would have been impossible
to re,arrange 1t without causing
a serious conflict in tho schedule.
He added, however, that Waseda
would probably come to the Uni
ted States again soon and that he
hoped to. have West Virginia on the
schedule at that time.

EXHIBIT QUAINT LAMP.

Little Rock, Jan. S.-The Biblical injunction to "keep your lamps trim med,' etc, may or may not have in- fiuenced the maker of "bear-oi" lamp just placed on exhibition at the Ar kansas history museum, but it is cer- tain he intended to provide the fla cilities for trimming. The lamp, which bears the date "1691" on it's base, has a wick-snuffer attached to a heavy chain, which in turn is riv- eted to the lamp in such a way that it's removal would only be accom- plished by practically destroying the lamp.
 The relic was obtained by Dallas Herndon, secretary of the state his tory commission, from Capt. A. G. Cravens of Melville, Ark, who said he procured it from Capt. s. Y. Daugherty in Newport, Ark, in 1875. Captain Daugherty, according to Cap tain Cravens, said he obtained the lamp from hunter, who many years before had found it in the ruins of NiieI IlC ISlIilCu Iilt liIS lGliiIbl ill capitol of Lawrence county, Ark, at "Old" Davidson.
 The lamp is hand made, of wrought iron with the exception of the snuffer, which resembles pair of rusted steel tweezers, and has had several marks chiseled on it, the only legible one be- ing the date "1691." The base is like hollowed disk with the exception of projection on one side, in which the wick was inserted through a hole. To an arm extending upward and over the center of the base is attach ed long hook, which might have been driven into log or fastened in a crevice.
 According to Captain Craven's his tory of the lamp, bear oil was used as a fuel.

HALF YOUR LIVING
 WITHOUT MONEY COST
Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut In Half By Food And Grain
 Making And Saving

Atlanta, Georgia Special )-"High prices for cotton, such as we had a year ago cannot reasonably be expect ed for long time to come. European countries that normally use half our crop are so thoroughly disorganized and paralyzed in business way that they will not be able to take the usual quantities and pay high prices for many years to come," said H. G.. Hastings, President of the great Southeastern Fair.
 This situation which we cannot control, calls for lower costs of mak- ing cotton as well as reduction in cot ton acreage The quickest, safest and most effective way to reduce cot ton making cost is to produce on ones own acres every pound of food, grain and forage needed for family, tenants and laborers and live stock
 The situation requires chickens, hogs, milk cows and acres of corn, oats, wheat, forage and miscellane- ous crops from which to feed them. Last, but not least, in importance, Is the home vegetable garden which is the quickest and cheapest source of food in the world.
 Most folks here in the South don't take the home garden seriously and thereby make a great mistake There are too many of the lick and prom ise' sort of gardens and mighty few of the real sure enough kind
 We have been told repeatedly hy those who plan and prepare for real garden, plant it, tend it and keep it replanted through the season, that 1t furnishes half the family living at no money cost except the small amount spent for the seeds needed.
 "The garden is, or rather should be, the earliest planted. It brings food the quickest. It starts cutting store bills for food the first week anything is ready to use. A little later, half or more needed for the table comes out of the garden.
 If rightly tended and replanted it supplies food all summer and fall, the surplus above daily needs goes into cans or Is dried for winter use. Yes, the right kind of garden Is a life saver, and we all need a life-saver of this kind in 1921"

NEW GOVERNOR TO
 GO IN WEDNESDAY,
M'RAE'S LONG RECORD
New Executive Served in Congress Longer than Any Other Arkan-
 sas Representative.

Little Rock, Jan. 9.-Thomas C. Me
 Rae, 69 years old, of Prescott, Nevada county, who will take the oath of office as governor of Arkansas probably next Wednesday, has the distinction of having served more consecutive years as a representative in congress than any other Arkansas man. Mir.
 McRae was elected to congress from the Third district of Arkansas in 1885
 and was reelected eight times, re- tiring after IS years of continuous
 service in the national legislative
 body. He will be the thirty fourth
 governor of the state.
 MT. McRae is native of Arkansas,
 of Scotch descent, lawyer by profes-
 sion, and affiliated with the Presbyte-
 Holly, Union county, December 21, 1851, the son of Duncan l.. McRae, a pioneer planter of the state. He re- ceived his early education in private schools in Arkansas, later took a business course in New Orleans, and afterwards studied law at Washing ton and Lee University, from which he was graduated in 1872. He began the practice of law in Rosston, Nevada county, in 1873, but shortly after wards was largely instrumental in having the county seat removed from Rosston to Prescott, and when this was accomplished took up his resi- dence in the latter town. He has con tinued his law practice since that time, but for several years has been presi- dent of the Bank of Prescott and has had other business connections.
 The incoming governors political career began in 1876, when he was elected to the legislature as a repre- sentative fro mNevada county. In 1880 he was presidential elector from Arkansas, and in 1884 chairman of the Democratic state central com mittee and a delegate to the Demo- critic national convention. He was elected to congress the following year He also has served as mayor and a of the city council of Pres cott
 The new governor will be sworn in as soon as the two branches of the legislature have been organized and in joint session heard the address to be delyivered by Governor Brough preceding his retirement. It is expected that organization will be perfected Tuesday and that Gov arnor Brough will deliver his address on Wednesday morning. Speedy or ganization of the legislature how ever, might make it possible to hold the gubernatorial ceremonies earlier.
 Governor elect McRae has stated that he desires as little ostentation as possible in connection with his inau- guration and he declined to permit friends to arrange for an inaugural parade or formel reception,
 MT, McRae has pledged himself to a program of economy which would include the abolition of several offices which he terms useless or improperly Chief among these are the corporation, highway and peniten- tiary commissions and state board of control of charitable institutions.
