HOME FOLKS PREPARE

Bowling Green, Mo-, March D. Champ Clark's home folks here tonight prepared to say final honors to the statesman who fought their legislative battles in Congress for more than 25 years.
 Union memorial services will be held in one of the local churches Sunday morning and all business will be sus- pended from the time the body arrives until the funeral takes place.
 The town where the former speaker made his home for so many years has been deeply affected.
 Progress of his illness has been watched with anxiety here and news he had died was received with universal expressions of sorrow
 Immediately following the first re- port bulletins were hurriedly scattered throughout the town to appraise the residents of his death.
 Mayor Smith ordered flags on the courthouse and on the public square lowered at halfmast. and in the win dows of many business houses pictures of MT. Clark draped in mourning made their appearance.

The two men had been friends for many years, having been as- sociated together both in affairs at Washington and in their rounds of the Chautauqua circuits.
 Their last meeting was in New Or leans November IS, last, when both were guests at a chamber of commerce luncheon. preceding MT. Hardings de- parture for Panama. They talked of election results. the Presdent-elect speaking respectfully of Mir. Clark's de-. feat for reelection and assuring him that if he desired to remain in phblic service a place would be found for him under the new republican administration.
 As soon as the word of the veteran democratic leaders death reached Mar ion today MT, Harding sent this tele- gram to Mrs. Clark at Washington:
 T am deeply grieved to learn of sthe death of MT. Clark. I deeply respectei his marked ability and his splendid pub lie service and had come to hold him in very affectionate personal regard. know that all who knew him will join me in wishing that your sorrow may be tempered in the consciousness of the country grieving with you.'

 And so she did. And, first thing you know a great, big, yellow-jacket wasp came boom ing up from around the tree, and jabbed his stinger right into MT. Wolfs nose. Mir. Wolflet out one awful howl. And he never bothered anybody again, ever. When Mary Jane and Bobby got home and told their mamma about the wolf their mamma said it served him right. And then she gave Mary Jane and Ter little brother big thick piece of bread with whole lot of delicious Mary Jane Syrup on it-the syrup that every good little girl and boy likes better than any other syrup.

DEPARTMENT BUCKS.
UMP|RES ON FEES.
League Thinks Arbiters Are
Charging Too Much for
Services This Year.

The District of Columbia Umpires'
Association has met opposition even
before the season opens. Used to
cries Of "Robber," Crook" "Mur-
derer." and the like. during the play
ing OF games, the umpires are met
with similar yells right of the bat
this year.

whatever that is.
"A letter from the umpires' associa-
ton was read. but no action was
taken. The league, however, unani-
mously opposed what il terms a hold
up on the part of the association in
the new schedule of fees for UNI
pires," say the department men.
UNLESS the organized umpires come
down to earth. an outsider will prob
ably be designated to officiate."
The .Departmental League intends
to enlist the aid OF other amateur or"
ganizations to oppose the umpires
who. they claim. are asking fees
which are too large. Some opposition
has been heard in the Government
League.
Those teams playing on the Monu-

able to exchrnge any admission fees

The Departmental League will hold
another meeting at Spaldings on

of the umpires' fee will be taken up.
A seventy-five game schedule will be
arranged for the year and announced
