WORLD SERIES GAMES
REDUCED FROM 8 TO

New York, Dec. 16-The most inn
portant amendment to the major
league code adopted to date during
the week of conferences was the cur
failing of the world series games from
nine to seven. This change will in
volve much work for the advisory
council for, according to President
Heydler, fifty rules pertaining to the
series will have to be changed. These
changes will be formulated by the
council within the next two months
and submitted to the major leagues
for notifications at the annual spring
schedule meetings.
President Heydler, in discussing
this feature said:
81 consider the ready acceptance of
Judge Landis' deciding vote on this
question a complete demonstration of
the satisfactory and harmonious
working of the new agreement of the
major leagues. AS was stated after
the meeting the American League
favored the reduction, while the Ma
tional League as unit, voted for the
retention of the nine-game plan.
Judge Landis was thus forced to cast
the deciding vote and his decision was
accepted as satisfactory and final by
both groups. When it is considered
that by reducing the number of
games from nine to seven the club
owners, the leagues and the commits
sioners are the heaviest losers. The
prompt acceptance of his verdict,
which he stated was in reality that of
the spectator, demonstrated the sue
cess of the baseball reorganization
plan adopted year ago.
From the players standpoint the
monetary loss is not so great, for they
will share in the proceeds of the first
four games, presumably, as in the
past when seven games composed the
series. The action in its finality rep
resented the presumed desire of the
fan, and Judge Lands may be said to
have cast the fans vote on the
proposition.

MYSTERY OF EXPLOSION
NEARING SOLUTION
Arrest of Lindenfeld in Warsaw Will
Clear Up Case, Burns Says.

New York, Dec. 17.-The thrills
which New York experienced in Sep
tember of last year when Wall street
was rocked by a bomb explosion,
which killed nearly two score per-
sons, were revived tonight.
Coincident with the arrest of a
suspect in Warsaw and the arrival
from Washington Of William J. Burns
chief of the bureau of investigation
of the department of justice to take
personal charge of the case, there
were circulating in the downtown fl
nancial district rumors of new radi-
cal plot to blow up tine stock exchange
Local authorities, while admitting
that special guards had. been placed
around the exchange and other build
ings, professed to attach no great inn
portance to reports that threatening
letters had been received by a num-
Der of brokers. In this connection
were recalled a number of post card
threats" to blow up the custom house
and the postoffice, which followed
the sensational blast of 1920 and fall
ed to materialize.
Mr.. Burns on his arrival added
nothing to his statements in Wash
ington that the arrest in Warsaw of
Wolfe Lindenfeld, former represen-
tative in New York of Lenine and the
third internationale, and later in the
service of the department of justice,
would clear up the mystery which had
surrounded the case. He said moth
ing tending to confirm reports cur
rent here that local arrests were ex-
pected.
During the investigation, which ex-
tended around the world with the Of
fer of rewards exceeding 100000
and resulted in the arrest in this
country and in Canada of score Of
suspects, who were subsequently dis
charged, Mr.. Burns maintained from
the first that the explosion was the
work of the third internationale as
indicated now in dispatches from
abroad.

formation obtained from Adjutant-
General W. A. Raupp tonight indi-
Gates that the state soldier bonus

!, Adjutant General Raupp has re-
turned from Washington, where he

5.5.s NAVAL RATIO ADOPTED
First Great Stride Toward Five
Power Treaty Announced. Japs
Get BattIeship Mutsu.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The first
great stride toward a five-power
treaty limiting naval armament was
taken tonight when the United
States, Great Britain and Japan an
nounced final agreement on the
American "five-five-three" ratio.
The next step-elaboratio of the
agreement to include France and
Italy-was initiated Immediately
within the new naval committee OF
fifteen, in which all five powers are
represented.
Changes Made in Plans.
Agreement among the three major
naval powers was reached on the
basis of "status quo" understanding
as to Notifications of the Pacific
islands. At the same time the United
States and Great Britain acceded to
Japan's desire to retain her newest
battleship, the Mutsu, with propor-
tionate changes in the American and
British fleets.
While the principles Of the original
American proposal were not impaired
by the triangular agreement the set
Element contemplates the following
changes in the fleets to be retained:
Great Britain, twenty ships instead
of twenty-five, with an aggregate of
582,050 tons instead of 605,450 tons.
United States, eighteen ships as
originally proposed but with an ag-
gregate of 525,0O0 tons instead of
500,650.
Japan, ten ships as originally pro-
posed, but with an aggregate of 313,-
300 tons instead of 299,700 tons.
At the end of the ten-year building
holiday, the fleets will stand under
the revised detailed plans as follows:
Great Britain, $4,000 tons, United
States, 525 900 tons, and Japan, 315,-
900 tons.

"POLLYANNA STUFF"
IN BUSINESS

A prominent New York business
man was quoted few days ago by
the New York Times, as being oppos-
ed to what he called "Pollyanna stuff"
now being issued to promote business
confidence. "To tell people that busi-
ness is good and that the future is
bright, when there is concrete eyi-
dence on every hand that business
could easily be good deal better, is
likely to increase pessimism by ac-
centuating the known condition of
things" he says.
There is some truth in that point
of view. 1t is impossible to make
business good simply by claiming it
is when it isn't. Yet at the same time
there is always too much of a ten
dency in the business world for people
to look at immediate conditions, with
out considering the factors that are
likely to change those conditions in
the immediate future.
In time Of prosperity, business peo-
pie tumble over each other to expand
their enterprises and. they seem to
think that the inflated conditions will
continue indefinitely and even in
crease. They disregard plainly evil
dent storm signals that should lead
them to call halt and thereby get
into trouble,
The same principle holds good at
the present when conditions are still'
a little under normal. Pessimistic
people look at the amount of business
they are doing that moment, without
considering the underlying forces.
If they would look beneath the sur
face at this time they could find con-
ditions that must produce business
progress in the near future, such as
low interest rates and the scant sup
plies of merchandise on hand.
The people have got into the habit
of looking for boom times, and
great many lose. their courage if con-
ditions are such that some energy and
industry are called for. Boom times
are the exception, and ordinary times
may in the long run be better, since
they do not lead to the smashes that
follow initiation. This is a world of
hard work, and there must be many
years when conditions are not wholly
favorable, yet when effort and initi-
ative will enable almost anyone to
earn a fair living.

This company is considering a plant
in Southwest Missouri; and from
reliable reports they have decided to
locate in Lawrence county, believing
that this is the most ideal dairy
country in the entire southwest. They
have sent out questionaires to farm
ers around Peirce City in regard to
the dairy outlook here.
The plant at HIGHLAND, ILL.,, can use
