Owing to continued bad weather,
the new baseball grounds and
stands at the Naval Academy win
probably not be completed by April

ton will be pushed as much as pos
sible. An effort will be made to
have the grounds ready by April

use them for the first time on that
occasion.
Funds to construct the grounds
and stands were obtained from the
football game with Pennsylvania
State in Washington last fall and
that in Philadelphia against the
University OF Pennsylvania,
1t has been decided to raise the
stands on the football field by
twelve rows, providing seats for

The real value of self-government
in it's general aspect is that the
pupils develop, slowly perhaps, the
power to judge wisely and carefully
by such measures as they themselves
have devised. The laws are theirs.
and 1t Is their pride to obey them
and to see that others obey them, too.
1t is interesting to watch the develop

worth while training for those who

Crop insurance, under which the
farmer will be able to recover a
reasonable proportion of his plant

the event of his failure to make an
average yield is on the non-partisan
farm bloc program for passage at the
next session of Congress. provided a
satisfactory plan can be worked out"
Senator Smith, democrat, South Caro-

surance the last week in April.
Is Real Problem.
There is a real problem in crop in
surance," Senator Smith said, and
our purpose is to provide a method
by which the government, at small
cost to the farmer. can insure him
substantially all that he has expended
in his effort to make a crop when he
experiences complete failure, and to
reimburse him proportion of his ex-
pense when his production is not nor
NAL.
THE business man and substantial
ly every one else can obtain insur-
ance In his business except the farm
er. He now can insure his crops
against storm damage and can obtain
insurance on his live stock, his home
and his barn, but in his real business
of making crop he must gamble
with weather, pest and everything
else that mean success or failure. II
We can work out some plan, as / think
we can, by which his investments In
making a crop will not be a complete
loss to him in case of crop failure or
a partial loss when he has a crop
shortage, we will go far toward sta
