CAN WE STICK?

THE APPEAL which the editor
= hopes to make in this editorial is
not addressed to those who are OPP
posed to Sunday baseball, but to those
who believe that baseball is the great
est of all American out door sports,
and that the sport can be maintained
on an amateur basis only through the
Sunday game.
So far as further participation in
the Blue Mountain League is con-
cerned Kennewick is face to face with
baseball crisis. The local team has
played three games and lost three.
However, it isn't up to the team nor
the manager to pull Kennewick out
Of the baseball hole. It is up to those
who believe in and want the sport.
From the standpoint Of the directors
of the league Kennewick isn't liza
bility because of the poor playing of
the team but because Of the lack of
interest of the local people in the
game.
Last year in the Yakima Valley
league each team paid it's own ex-
penses and took all of the gate receipts
Of its home games. Under that plan
it mattered not to Sunnyside, for In
stance, where there were thousand
or only dozen at the games played
in Kennewick. Sunnyside's only fl
nancial interest was in the games
played in Sunnyside.
In the Blue Mountain League the
plan of financing is different. In the
first two games receipts were split &C
and 40 between winners and losers
The receipts from all other games are
to be split on fifty fifty basis. I'm
der this plan what happens? Walls

Pendleton and played to $500 crowd.

games in the little towns of Echo and

The other league towns can't af-
ford to, and are not going to, carry
Kennewick on this basis. It isn't .
uestion of whether Kennewick is go

question of whether Kennewick is go
community who are interested in
baseball are going to attend the
games or not. What the situation de-
mands is not money for the team but
attendance at the home games.
That Kennewick has poor team is
not valid excuse for poor attendance.
There is only one thing that will
make good team and that is support.
Community support comes first, the
team afterward. Lacking in suffic-
lent community support to make the
games on the home grouns profitable
the management of the local club has
two alternatives. One is to withdraw
from the league and forfeit the 500
entrance fee; the other is to continue
in the league and change the schedule
so that no games will be played in
Kennewick.
It may have been mistake for Ken
newick to enter in the Blue Mountain
league. If so, it is too late to cry
over that fact. 1t only makes bad
situation worse, for those who are in
terested in baseball to damn the man.
ager and criticize the players. The
way to strengthen the team and keep
it in the league is for Kennewick's
fans to turn out to the next game,
April 90.

JERSEY LEADS IN
CRANBERRY CROP

Cranberry sauce, now as much of a
national institution as the turkey at
the Thanksgiving dinner. would he
missed from the menus of more than
nan tne homes in the United States
III "hlch II Is a relish throughout the
season, but for the cranberry bogs of
New Jersey. The fact that the Car
den state easily ranks first in cram
perry acreage and that the industry is
growing, rather than decreasing. as
ihdlcated by recent Federal census,
Is SHOWN In a report just issued by the
bureau OF statistics of the department
of agriculture.
New Jersey, with a total of 1908
acres IN bogs, usually produces about
one-thlrd of the total cranberry cron
Oh the country, according to estimates
compiled by Harry B. Weiss. chief of
bureau OF statistics. States next in
Importance In the industry are Massa-
chusetts and Wisconsin. Burlington
county, probably the largest Gran
perry growing county in the world.
/ Dy coincidence, has 81 per cent of
the New Jersey bog area, the same
proportion by which New Jersey leads
the nation. In Burlington County
there are 6,870 acres of bogs under
cultivation, while Ocean County is a
second with 1881 and Atlantic third
with 1895.
The Weiss report contains figures
tnat snow conclusively to the growers
the superior advantage of some of the
newer varieties of berries. The "Jer-
sey' Is an old variety, now grown on
9O per cent of the bog acreage in the
State, yet last year it produced only
29.6 per cent of the crop. Three other
commercial varieties, known as
Howe" early Black" and "Centen-
NAL" show greatly increased percent
ages of production.
The great output of cranberries in
New Jersey, the estimate for the mar
keted crop last year being 157 900 bar
| rels, has been made possible only by
years of scientific study of the re-
quirements for success in this branch
of agriculture. Frost, insects and
| fungus are the chief enemies of the
bog owner, but campaign of the CO.
operating growers in this State, aided
by specialists from the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture and the State ex-
pertinent station, have found remedies
for a large portion of the trouble.
Methods of fertilizing the bogs also
have added greatly to the production
per acre.
The cranberry men, the report
shows, have set the pace for other
agriculturalists in the State in modern
marketing methods by cooperative
! sales of their product in standard
{ packages that have won quality rep
utation wherever the graded Jersey
berries are sold. Ninety per cent of
the total cranberry production of the
State is sold through the Growers Co
operative organizations.
The Penn's Grove record., 1923-10-19

Shs proposed plan no 10 per cent re-
serve should be necessary.
"All the state school moneys aside
from that raised by the school dis
tricts-that is, the railroad tax, the In
come OF the state school fund and the
appropriation by the legislature
should be distributed directly to the
600-odd school districts of the state.
Tho afata should deal diractIv with the
district as a unit and not with the
county as a unit.
Cities and Country
"In previous distributions the large
cities have Jared better than the rural
districts. The reason Is not far to
seek. The basis Of distribution here
tofore has been teachers and attend
ance.
1.-THE cities have better attendance
than the country districts, whereby
they profit, and they also have more
teachers to a given number Of children
than the country districts, whereby
they again profit.
"If the State Board Of Taxes and AS
sessment should establish the true val
ue for the purposes of taxation Of the
property of District A and District B
we could then ascertain the value Of
property per capita per pupil in each
district That would give the ability
to pay of each district.
1.-THE cost per capita per pupil per
year in each district could be ascer
tanned and would show what each dis
trict has been paying per capita per
pupil
Needs Less in Country
'The need of each district is the
third factor to be established-tha Is,
the educational need to give each pu-
pill in the district schooling first
class of its kind. This implies, OF
course, a money need also. which must
be considered.
"It is perhaps generally true that it
costs less to educate pupil in a coun.
try district than in city district, be-
cause land, buildings, teachers. iani-
tors and general overhead charges are
greater in the city than in the country
But this is not to be taken as meaning
that thirty pupils in the city need
three teachers and thirty pupils in the
country need one.
THE country children are entitled
to as efficient teaching as those in the
city. But there may be extravaganza
in both the examples cited Three
teachers may be too MAN. ard ona

CHICAGO-Sidney Smith, laun-
dryman, wants his employees dumb.
That is, he wants them unable to
talk and likewise deaf. His prefer
ence is not based upon pity or char
ity but upon the conviction that deaf
and dumb laundry girls do more
work and stick at their jobs with
less frequent changes than the talk
ing kind.
A want ad in the newspapers tells
the world why.
"These normal, magpie girls are
always gossiping about their beaux
or some other matter far off the sub
ject of soapsuds," explains the laun-
dryman.
II spend a big part of my own
time at the laundry, too, and you
can imagine the relief I experience
in being free from chatter now. 1t
takes longer to explain the work to
these handicapped girls when they
are new, but it's worth the trouble"

ed host, julius Schmitt, is of sue

lection by hanging UP few horns

old worlds fair, and in its wake a
stable part of the deer head display
of the German building found its
way to the dingy "bierhalle." Pleased
customers brought in trophies of
their own expeditions.
