iris Speaker Anxious
To Quit Baseball for
Actiue Business Work

CLEVELAND, o., July 23.-Answer-
ing a question put to him recently,
Manager Iris Speaker, of the Cleve-
land Americans, said:
Il will never be bench manager"
Speaker is not tired of the game
of baseball as a sport, but he will not
sit on bench as manager and watch
others play when he can not partic-
ipate.
That, however, is not the main rea-
son. Iris is anxious to get into bust
ness, realizing that if he is to make
a success in the business world he
must get started before long.
Following the winning by the In
dams of the worlds baseball cham,
pionship last fall, James c. Dunn
owner of the Cleveland American team
and president of the Dunn McCarthy
Construction company made Speaker
a stakeholder in the construction com
pany with promise that Speaker
would be given an active part in the
business when he retired from base
ball.
Il wanted to quit baseball last fall"
Speaker said. Il wish | could play
for years. for love the game, but the
time is near when l must enter some
other field of endeavor where the de-
mands of the body are not SO severe.

LACK OF FINANCE FOR
FARM BUSINESS IS
REPORTED IN Ohio

Absolute lack of money to finance
farm business in Sc scattered Ohio
counties is reported in a QUESTIONABLE
compiled by the Ohio Farm Bureau
federation Banks are unable to fur
nish them with money, the farmers
said. Money, it is asserted. in these
counties is not available, regardless
of security.
Banners in the AZ othet counties,
however, report that money is to be
had on good security. From seven to
eight per cent is charged on short
time loans, and mainly seven per cent
on longer loans.
High Rates Charged
A number of individual instances
show that bonuses are charged, it
was said at the farm bureau office.
The amounts vary with local condi-
tions. Clark county, according to the
QUESTIONABLE, reports that 10 per cent
is charged on loans of $1,000. Cler-
mont, $35 to SIS; Clinton, three per
cent; Darke, $50; Gallia, one per cent
Madison, 800; Summit, SO to $50;
Trumbull, $50 to 500.
In Clermont, Clinton and Darke
counties, the same amount of per-
centage applies on long time loans.
but in others, the bonus is not re-
quired.
In Darke county a farmer recently
asked to borrow $1,000, was obliged
to take $4,000, which with the interest
added. made 10 per cent
Tenant farmers, in many instances
are able to obtain sufficient financial
credit, but on the whole they are not.
Replies from questionnaires indicate
that, not always having proper Sc
curity, their plight is worse than that
of the farm owner.

refused to take on Plestina.
