Professional Baseball

The people who sit in baseball
grand stands of the more important
leagues, and watch the diamond stars
toss around the elusive little sphere
with such superb skill, may think il
is all fun for them to play such an
interesting game as their regular oc-
cupation. But professional baseball
is no chilHs play.
There is . tendency in any oecupa-
aon to do it in routine way. about
the same day after day. Many pro-
fessional ball players lose their grip
at An early age, because they can
not retain the same pep" and en-
thusiasm that carried them forward
in their first years. 1t is not much
use for anyone to go in for profess
Sional ball, unless he has untiring
energy and enjoyment of activity, so
that it is = pleasure to him to be
."on his toes every minute, physical
ly and mentally. He must feel this
intense absorption in his occupation,
so that as time goes on his mind con-
stantly works quicker, and he keeps
up his muscular facility until the
day when he is too old for this
strenuous sport.

LUCKY TO Be
AN IOWAN
Many Reasons Why Iowans Can Claim
They Are in Luck, After Read
ing Iowa Chamber Com
mercs Report.
STATE RANKS FIRST
IN MANY THINGS
Blessings That Have Been Showered
Upon Iowa Are Many Says
The Report.

Des Moines, Iowa-"Lucky is the
man who can make the assertion 81
am an lowan,' declare officials OF
the Iowa Chamber Of Commerce. The
reason for his being lucky is con-
tanned in a report just issued by the
chamber containing seventeen items
wherein Iowa is first in the union.
The state ranks first of all of the
United States in the following
things, according to the report:
In the combined value of pur-
bred live stock; in the value OF
farm properly per farm; in in
creased value of farm property dur
ing the decade ending 1920; in per-
centage of farm land improved; in
value of farm buildings; in value OF
farm machinery; in percentage OF
total area in farms; in number OF
automobiles per capita and on
farms; in value of horses; in num-
Der of pure-bred Percherons and
Shires; in the value of hogs; in the
number of pure bred hogs; in the
value and production of corn; in
the value and production of oats; in
poultry production; in the value OF
egg production; m the number OF
pure bred cattle.
At the same time Iowa is but six
tenth of all the states in popula-
ton and twenty third in the area of
land.
The hogs of Iowa exceed in value
the report states, farm crops in any
one of nineteen states; Maine, New
Hampshire. Vermont, Massachusetts
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jer
sey, Maryland, West Virginia
Florida, Delaware, Montana, Idaho
Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona
Utah, Nevada, and Oregon, according
to the report.
Horses in Iowa exceed in value the
farm crops of all of these states
with only Oregon excluded, the re
port further states.
The berry crop of Iowa is greater
than that of any state west of thu
Mississippi river, except Missouri
California, Washington and Oregon.
The blessings that have beer
showered upon this state are many
the report states. Iowa in spite OF
the recent financial furry she has
passed thru, still stands, according
to a well known eastern writer, "tc
the east as the classic model Of
midwestern agricultural states.
Iowans would substitute for the wore
"midwestern" the word "all" the of
ficials of the chamber say.

Banner Year for Pig Club

Ames, Iowa-With nearly twice
as many members as last year al
ready enrolled in boys and girls
poultry club work, 1922 promises to
be a banner year. According to j..
L. Gordon there were thrty-three
counties with clubs last year and
twice that number have thus far been
reported.
"We have found that nearly all
children on farms are more or less
interested in little chickens, says Mr.
Gordon, and with this in mind poul-
try clubs were organized two years
ago"
In order for a boy or girl between
the ages of 10 and q years to enroll
as a club member, he must sign a
membership card, which is also sign
ed by the parent, stating that ne will
purchase one or more settings of
pure bred eggs of an established
breed of poultry. The eggs will be
Matched and the chicks raised under
his supervision. In the fall season he
is required to show one or more birds
Of his raising at some county poultry
show or state fair.
Many counties have as many as
three to six local clubs organized and
operating in different sections. These
local clubs are under the supervision
of some reliable poultry leader Of
that county and their program of
work consists in discussing the pro-
blems of the members in rearing
their chicks.
E. L. Heifner and J. L. Gordon of
the poultry Extension Service are CO.
operating with the club leaders of the
state to make the poultry clubs sue
cessful and interesting to the men,
bers enrolled.

The Romance of Agriculture

Eugene Grace, President of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, one of
the later 'millionaires created by
Schwab just as Carnegie put Schwab
into the millionaire class, reports
that the steel industry is sound, with
business improving and with indica-
lions pointing to a steady growth.
What change in decade. Before
the vision of the elder Morgan mold
| ed for the business world the picture
of a co-ordinated trade, the three or
four hundred steel plants were in a
chaotic state. The bold stroke of the
iron hand Of finance started the in
dustry along the lane of amazing
accomplishment. The people were
staggered at the results. They had
not even thought of industry in terms
of the billion. The timid shook their
heads. 1t was admitted that behind
the great issue of common stock
there was not an asset worthy of the
| name. The plants had to be replaced
every year or two, and the industry
seemed to rest on a shifting sand.
But time, and energy, backed by the
sterling character and ability of men
| like Schwab, soon turned nebulous
assets into a basis for sound credits,
and today the steel industry is re-
garded almost as the unfailing baro-
meter of the worlds trade.
The romance of steel excites the
imagination more than do the tales of
Hans Anderson, but it will be moth
ing as compared with the romance
of agriculture when some great or
ganizing genius shows his head to
lead the farmers to their promised
land. Agricultural organization is
more complex, of course, because
where there were only few hundred
steel plants there are six and one
half million farms, but the financial
returns will be correspondingly great
and far more lasting when organiza-
ton is perfected. The business pro-
blems are almost identical, the CO.
ordination of production of selling
and of distribution. The Farm Bur-
eau and the agricultural bloc are the
two first signs of the times. Upon
that foundation is bound to be built
the emancipation of the farmer from
life of drudgery and a world wide
industry that will benefit all man.
kind.

COSTS OF COURTING
Great Change Seen in the Last
Few Years.

Times and manners have seen a
change since middle aged folks were
young. In those days, a girl was
pleased just to have a young man
come to see her. They sat in the
parlor, talked over the doings at the
church socials and the dancing school,
and had lovely time. Occasion
ally Father and Mother lodged in
20 see how things were going but
they rarely found anything doing.
A girl considered she was given a
treat in those times if she was taken
to a % cent show in the town hall,
and if afterward they celebrated at
the village ice cream parlor, that was
nice wind up. The boys would
occasionally blow in $3.50 for a
livery team, but that was about the
limit of ordinary luxury.
There are still young women
brought up somewhat on the old lines
in a careful way, and who are not
spoiled by having too much atten-
ton. Probably they make the best
wives. But the majority expect many
costly treats. As some girls say;
"If the fellows want to go with US,
they have got to spend something
besides the evening""
1t is remarked in some places, that
to entertain a girk properly at a
dance a fellow has to spend $1,000
to $500. The latter figure is ex-
treme but taxi charges and flowers
and refreshments mount up fast. AT
some colleges it is said the Weather
fellows may lay out around $4,000
when they have girl attend the
Prom, so that less prosperous stu
dents are almost ruled out of these
festivities.
Extravaganza got a tremendous
start through the war when so many
fellows earned big pay and threw
dollars as fast as their fathers did
nickels. Those times are gone. Par
ents should urge their young folks
to do things in a simple way, and
should lead girls to dislike the
splurgy ways of fellow who spends
his money without any sense, even
if he does it on treats for their bene-
fit.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been expended on the road sys-
stem of this county, yet the country
side has been mudlocked as effec-
lively as ever" complains the Mus
catine Journal. "This does not indict
the county road program, for the i'm
provements to date have largely been
preliminary to permanent surfacing,
but it does suggest that the time is
at hand when the farmer and the
business man get together to devise
ways and means whereby year
around farm to market roads may be
created. The question is not so much
one of can we afford good roads, as
can we afford to be without them? ?"

Cedar County Farm Bureau Has
Radio


Upton, Iowa,-The Cedar County
Farm Bureau Is said to be the. first
farm bureau in the state to install
a radio outfit to obtain the daily
market reports. The units have all
been ordered and the outfit is being
installed as fast as the units are
received.
C. H. Obye, county agent, claims
that under the old system, market
reports were received by telephone
and telegraph at a cost which would
pay for the radio set.
A committee appointed to in
vestigate the advisability of in
stalling a radio set reported that
it had received market reports over
a private set operated by a local
radio enthusiast and was satisfied
that the investment would pay.

Sales Of department and apparel stores
In this reserve district in February in
dictated a nearer normal volume OF trans
actions than in many other trade fields.
Reports TO the Reserve Bank from sixty
four stores showed sales of S23.6oO.ooo.
a decline Of per cent. from the total
of February. 1921. The comparison was
more favorable than II was in January,
as it's sales We're 8 per cent less than
those of January. 1921.
The number of individual transactions
IN February was per cent. larger
than those of year before. The aver
age amount Of the individual sale was
$3.50. against SER in February 1871,
a decline of . per cent, apparently re-
fleeing closely the fall of prices In
year. The bank. which is to present
in detail its survey in its monthly re
view on April /. says that the use OF
more advertising space and the holding
OF a larger number of special sales by
large stores was to some extent the
cause of heavy February sales.
