To the Farmers of Iowa County:
AS a taxpayer of this county I
think the county board deal' the
farmers an injustice by voteing out
out the County Agent. / am fully
convinced that our present County
Agent is great help to the farmers
of this county, especially the young
farmers. Many will find it hard to
meet their payments at the present
prices. I think they will need some
good advise in regard to the best
seed to till to receive the most salts
factory results. Also totest the soil
for acidity, so they will know where
lime is most needed and they End
will find our County Agent ever
ready to assist them when needed.

think we can pay the small per cap

always advocated economy but I
think our County board started at
the wrong Office. Very truly yours,

Seeks Origin of Dancing.

Can it be, in any sense, possible to
conjecture that the origin Of dancing
came from the desire to escape from
ones self, into an imaginary world?
In that case, it might also have
been a form of madness, as one finds
it in the Dionysian intoxication at the
Attic festivals, when wine and the
deities, the satyrs and the maenads,
were closely linked togther, writes
Arthur Symons in the Forum.
Certainly, even now, one OF the best
means in escaping from ones self is
dancing: Under fixed conditions, the
only one. The question is: Can one
ever escape from ones self?
There are so many means. There
is. for instance, a rapture in the dance
which intoxicates every sense to a
point of human infinity; that is, while
one is dancing. After, comes the re-
coil. No rapture can ever be meas
ured: while one endures it, 1t has no
limits. But, alas! for ones finite ma
ture, nothing lasts.

American Democracy.

Whoever in America desires to bet
ter his fe,lowmen must act by in
fluencing their intellect. If he wishes
TO see no idle man and no poor man
in the land, he must take care that
there shall be no ignorant man. Ignor-
ance is the mother of superstition
and misery. Men are better in pro-
norton as they are wiser. In what
ever direction we look we see the i'm
provement. The physical man is more
powerful, the intellectual man Is more
perfect, the moral man more pure.
The morality of a nation is the ag-
gregate of the morality of the indi-
giduals. A lazy man is necessarily bad
man; an idle is necessarily demon
allied population.-John William
Draper.

Big Gain in Income Taxes.

The Chronicle: Assessor Il. A. IRE
dinnick has discovered errors in IN
come reports in Iowa and Grant
counties which increase the taxable
incomes of these counties to the
amount of $653,591.9S. The total
taxable income added to Iowa county
amounts to $21S,Ss8.9S. This adj
ditional income comes almost en-
tirely from the profits of real estate
sales in the county. Most people
sold real estate during the year un-
derestimated the profit they made
and the huge sum was added as cor
rections.

Want To Sell Cattle.

Dodgeville Chronicle: Two weeks

that the county agent was in receipt

the county, telling of the cattle they

$4,000 FOR lands
TO KEEP BALL RIGHT
Can Use 1t as He Sees Fit to
Probe Future
Complaints.

Chicago, Jan. 2O.-The newly created
advisory council of organized baseball
has wound up its first meeting by
drafting the rules which will govern
relations between the major and minor
leagues and by placing fund Of $1O,-
600 at the disposal of Judge kenesaw
NJ. Lands, baseball commissioner, to be
used as he sees fit in Investigations in
connection with the game.
The fund will be supplied entirely by
the major leagues, and it is believed
that Judge Lands may use some of it
in furthering the investigation of al
legged game throwing in the 1919 worlds
series.
1--WE made Judge Lands the ruler
with power to do as he pleased said
President John Heydler of the National
league in announcing the fund, land
now we are placing at his disposal, the
means of carrying out his wishes"
The tentative draft of the maj or
minor regulations provides that all
leagues not going into the draft which
was restored at the recent joint meeting
council not later than February IS next.
The regulations provide that the draft
should not be compulsory, but that
leagues remaining out of it, cannot
draft from leagues which come in.
The tentative draft Of tine regulations
will be sent to the various leagues for
their individual approval, which in most
cases, already has been indicted, for
most of the rules were discussed at the
recent baseball meetings.

SISLER ASPIRES
TO BE REAL KING
OF ALL BASEBALL
st. Louis Batting Champ Going
After Other Records
This Year.

St. Louis, Jan. 2O.-No matter what
Ty Cobb's records of the past have
been, no matter how brilliantly Wagner,
Lajoie and Iris Speaker have scintil-
lated in the ranks of the greatest play
ers of their times, the Mound City has
an entry who espires to wipe out all
previous marks and give to St. Louis
the greatest professional ball player Of
all time.
Within the past few weeks, while
every fan in these parts was specula-
ting as to the identity of Jimmie
Burl1e's successor, the management "a
the Browns was offered to the brilliant
the ordinary ball player, overcome by
the offer of a tremendous increase in
salary, would grasp the opportunity
without hesitation.
But Sisler is not the ordinary ball
player. Every man on the St. Louis
team would have been delighted at
Sisters appointment and it goes without
saying that they would have played their
heads off for the little first baseman.
But Sisler fatty turned the proposition
down.
Il don't want to be manager" said
Sisler. Il just aspire to be regular.
[ have err Ugh to do taking care of my
own position without bothering about
managerial cares. The worries of the
management might interfere with my
batting Or fielding"
The Connecticut labor news. (New Haven, Conn.) 1921-1925, 1921-01-21

Sis1er makes no bones about his am
bition to lead in all departments. He
wears the batting laurels and he has
come mighty close to winning the blue
ribbon among the first sackers. AS a
base runner, the league has had few
superiors and now that Sis1er feels he
is attaining the very pinnacle of his
powers, he intends to make the season
of 1921 a record breaker along several
lines. He feels that he can grab the
base stealing palm, hold on the batting
championship and perhaps give the lead
ing first sacker of the country a real
battle. AS to the other positions where
he has played with wonderful success
he doesn't cherish any aspirations.
Any player who wishes to enter the
contest had better study the playing
record of Sisler, so that he may know
what he has to go up against. Sisler
joined the Browns in 1915, after the
close of the college year, and played
in about half the games that season.
He hit for 285 and stole 10 bases. The
hitter and stole "a bases and scored 83
runs. The next season-1o17-his posi-
ton in the batting order was changed;
he didn't score so many runs, but he
was free to hit and he batted for 1853
and stole 81 bases. In the war year
of 1913 he dropped off little in hitting,
batting for .341, but he made new
mark in base stealing with As to his
credit.
He came bark strong in 1919, batted
.352 and scored 90 runs and stole %
bases in 1872 games. He was out of sew
eral games entirely and running on one
foot for two months because of an in
juredo heel. Then came the past sea-
son, when George broke into the 400
class, scored 137 runs and stole AZ bases
in year when base stealing seemed
lost art with most players.
And now George say he feels he is
just getting started Anybody want to
contest with him for the honors of
betting the worlds greatest ball player?
Well,' George refused the management
of the Browns SO he could give them
good run for it.

THIS LAWYER MUST
WANT LANDIS' JOB

Chicago, Jan. 2O-A petition pro-
testing against the employment of
Judge kenesaw NJ. Lands as national
baseball commissioner has been pre-
pared by Thomas ]. Sutherland, a Chi
cago lawyer, and sent to members of
Congress from Illinois.
In letter to Chicago newspapers in
forming them of his action, Mr.. Suth-
erland is said to have urged that they
comprehend the Importance of this pc
tition, as we'll as to the immediate
necessity of this attempt to mulct the
government and also to set an example
Of vicious inhdelity to public service"
The petition demands action relative
to Judge Lands serving both as a judge
and an agent of the baseball commits
sion. 1t seeks to show that the judge
in accepting an annual aslary from the
baseball commission of $42, 500 a year.
while drawing a salary of $500 year
as federal judge, is acting in violation
of the spirit of statutes preventing a
government officer from engaging in
remunerative private enterprises.
When told of the petition, Judge Lam
dis said:
Il looked into things we'll before &C
cepting this baseball work. I feel that

GO NETTED $4,000
Society Bout in New York
Will Be Big Benefit to
France.

New York, Jan. 20.-The American
committee for devastated France an
nounced it had realized $4,000 from its
management of the bout last week in
which Benny Leonard, lightweight
champion, scored a technical knockout
over Richie Mitchell in the sixth
round.
The gate receipts amounted to $780,
OOO, the largest in the history of light
weight boxing, of which $4,000 went to
Leonard and $4,000 to Mitchell The
crowd of about $4,000, which packed
Madison Square Garden was made up
not only of the usual quota of fstic
fans but galaxy of society folk wear
ing gl1ttering starched shirts and even
ing gowns. Miss Anne Morgan, chair
man of the committee, who was given
a rousing ovation by the crowd, de-
clared she was ''crazy'' about the fight.
Fans are still discussing the bout,
which all experts declare was one of
the greatest encounters in a decade.
Discussing the blow Mitchell delivered
in the first round which made the
champion stagger down for count of
nine, Lenord said:
1T was a dying lunge. 1t caught me
fairly and it certainly bothered me. 1t
came SO unexpectedly. All, yes, Mitchell
always was dangerous man. When |

Mitchell. Il almost had him licked, but
