SEWARD TO HAVE BIG CELEBRATION
 FOURTH OF JULY

Seward is going to have a Fourth of July celebration this year which will be the envy of her neighboring towns. providing plans outlined at the meeting of the fire department mem bers last night are carried out. And this. without question, will be done, for live-wire finance committee con- sisting of Dr. Roberts, Harry Ells- worth and Charles Sheldon were ap- pointed last night and are getting busy today.
 Telegrams will be dispatched today to Latouche and Sawmill Bay, advis- ing the residents of those districts what Seward will have to offer them in the way of an enjoyable program of entertainment on the national holi- day. The probability of having a marathon race is very good for this race is just about the first event the committee will start to line up. Sew ard residents have always enjoyed the race up old Marathon mountain and some remarkable records have been made
 Arrangements are also under way | for out of town ball teams to come | to Seward on the Fourth and play either one or series of games. La touche is being wired in this connec- tion today as is also Anchorage. The matter of preparing the local ball grounds for games will be looked after immediately and program of other events arranged. According to the discussion at the meeting last night there will be events of all kinds for young and old and program which will keep things moving throughout the day.
 The Peck-Judah Tours party which is scheduled to arrive in Seward on l or before the Fourth of July, will be wired to at headquarters in an effort to halt the large party of approxi- mately 40 tourists rendering them an invitation to join in the festivities.
 A special meeting will be held next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock for the purpose of hearing the report of the finance committed

Baseball Meeting At
 Firehall Last Evening

The ball was started rolling last night at the volunteer firemen's meet ing to form a couple of city baseball ball teams and give the local citizens a brand of the national pastime which she has lacked for a number of years. Never before, in the last ten years, it was stated last night, has there been such a gathering of real talent as is apparent in Seward at the pres ent time. Ample material for two fast teams are rarin' to go but lack of grounds even has eliminated the possibility of holding workouts.
 This condition will soon be a thing of the past though for small sum is still in the baseball treasury, a hangover from former years, and this will no doubt be used to start the initial work of preparing the field for games this season. Considerable grav- el now covers the park and there are several bad spots in the intield and ! outfeld which will have to be leveled out.
 Every baseball fan, player and en- thusiast is asked to attend the meet ing called for tonight, at 7:30 o'clock at the fire hall Two teams will be selected from those attending as preliminary move to get under way Other important business will be transacted and the association will no doubt be formed.

A crew of men under the super
vision of Bert Kleaver, manager, be-
gan work here Monday laying cable
for the Redwood County Rural Tele-
phone Co. AS was announced in The
Messenger a month ago the telephone
company plans to cable most of its
lines in Morgan. Four large reels OF
cable weighing from 1900 to 5000
pounds each have been received. A
shallow trench is dug in which to
lay the cable, and while it makes con-
siderable digging good Roadway can
be made by a small crew. The pres
ent reconstruction plans provide for
replacing about 5000 feet of open wire
leads with cable, and 1000 feet were
laid last year so that when the pres
ent job is completed it will represent
about twenty blocks of underground
wiring replacing the poles and over
head wires. It is expected that the
cables will greatly improve the phone
service here. New equipment re-
placing the old will in itself be a
most helpful improvement and cable
equipment eliminates much of the wire
trouble that constantly develops and
deteriorates the quality Of the SER
vice. Work has been commenced in
the vicinity Of the phone office, and
after the main leads have been laid,
others will follow. Patrons here will
anticipate better service after the
next few weeks, and needless to say
the telephone company and Manager
Kleaver hope they will not be dis
appointed.-Morgan Messenger.

Farm Bureau Chief
Causes Discussion

Much serious discussion in the
daily press of the state and also in
financial circles, has followed the adj
dress delivered last week by Pres.
]. F. Reed of the Farm Bureau be-
fore the farm mortgage bankers at
their Minneapolis convention.
In pleading for equality for agri-
culture in the matter of financing,
Mr.. Reed charged that there has al
ways been discrimination against far
ming as compared with loan acco-
modations to other industries, and
cited in substantiation of this state
ment the following striking fact:
That while agriculture has q CAPT.
tai investment in lands and build
ings of sc billion dollars with an in
debtedness of only billion dollars,
it has always had to pay a much
higher rate of interest on it's capital
investment than the railroads, for
instance, with capitalization of 10
billion dollars and an indebtedness
running from half to two-third of
their capital value. The same condi-
ton, he said holds true in regard to
most Of the major industries.
Many other bold, but pertinent,
points were presented during Mr..
Reeds warning to the bankers that
agriculture must have the same
equality in interest rates as other
groups.
1t is the opinion in farm circles that
the discussion opened up in this con-
nection should prove of ultimate help
in remedying The conditions complain
ed of by President Reed.

COSTS TWICE AS MUCH
TO RUN STATES NOW

The cost of state government in
the United States has doubled within
five years according to figures just
presented by the Department Of Com
merce. The figures are especially in
teresting just now in view of the sue
cess that has been had in reducing
federal expenditures and in the de-
termined effort being made further
to reduce the cost of operating the
national government.
In the year 1928, according to the
Department of Commerce the cost
Of. operating the state governments
was $3.50, 1885,, 1893, or S11.95 per cap
its. This included cost of operation
and maintenance, interest and out
lays. In 1918, during the war, the
total payments of the states were

The Real Object

MANY letters have been written in to
QV1 The Star protesting against the
small fines handed by Judge Ronald to
men convicted of possessing slot machines.
The Star doesn't agree with them entirely.
1t is useless for officials to appear in the
light of prosecutors of these men. They
have lost heavily, financially, in the de-
struction of more than 100 of the valua-
BILE machines.
They believed they were entitled to dis
tribute the machines. Their testimony
was that Mayor Brown and Chief Severyns
had okehed their plans.
The value of the raids carried out by
Prosecutor Colvin and Robert Macfarlane,
his chief deputy, is in the fact that prece-
dent was established to show what the
gambling law really is, and Just how far
those who would like to evade it can 90.

A ShrelUd President
THERE is shrewd president in the
i White House.

THERE is shrcwd president in the
L White House.
To the business men of the nation he
has Just suggested that they fix their
minds on business and forget Washington
for awhile,
The shrewdness lies in the fact that he
has told the business men to do what, TO
an unusual extent, they already are dong,
1t is a Rooseveluan gesture IN its way
Great leaders of all times, in fact, have
practiced il, First the great leader deter
mines whittier the people are moving and
then he puts himself at their head. 1t
sounds easy, but those who get away with
it are great men.
President Coolidge will get away with
il, in this case. Business men are doing
a pretty good job of forgetting Washing
ton. as, for the matter of that, are most
citizens whether or not they are IN bust
ness.
Like all good things, of course, it is
possible to overdo it. The bigger business
men won't be guilty of that, Washington
contains their representatives, on the Job
month in and month out. Not engaged
necessarily, in sinister enterprises, but
keeping n weather eye on their own IN
terests. II will pay other business men
which includes those whose only stock in
trade is their labor or their professional
skill-to keep their minds open for such
ideas as may emanate from Washington,
even in the political closed season.
Taken in its limited sense, however
Coolidges advice is sound. II is we'll for
business not to look to Washington, or to
politics, for aid they can give themselves.
There has been too much Of this in the
past, perhaps.

AUTO Hobo EtiQNet

A n etiquet book for Tin-Can Tourists
n may be the next necessity. Accord
ing 10 tales that are told, too many of our
modern gypsies are forgetting their good
manners as they flivvcr from place to
place.
Because few cities provide camping
space free, some auto hoboeS have come
to believe that the country owes them
place to sleep. They have kicked furiously
when confronted with charges of %, 30 or
70 cents a night for camp privileges.
They have gone into the national parks
and national forests. and left desolaton
behind them. They have chopped down
trees for their fires, pulled up the wild
flowers, and left tin cans and refuse lying
about. They have started forest fires by
carelessly-thrown cigaret stubs
Handling gypsy automobilists is new
municipal problem. Fewer and fewer
towns have found it practicable to allow
camping free of charge. In many cases the
city itself is getting out Of the business
and is giving it over to private manage
ment, subject to rigid sanitary supervi-
sion.
Even in the case of camp sites in the
national forests, the American Forestry
association recommends that grounds be
prepared and that the camper be asked to
pay fee which will cover the cost.

Real Tragedy
Newspaper En-
tsrprlss AIan.

rreas Services.

THERE was real tragedy in the ball
L park at New York yesterday but few
of the fans realized il,
Sitting in the dugout, along with the
second-String players on the New York
Yankee team, was Everett Scott, veteran
shortstop, who had shattered the worlds
record galley west by playing in 1907 con-
secutye major league games. Scott be-
gan his string back in 1916 while with the
Boston team.
The legs that have made countless cir
cults of the bases TO the cheering of the
multiudeS at last have begun to give way.
After conference with his manager
Scott agreed yesterday to remain on the
bench.
Along with the tragedy of wearing out
that none of us can fight off always, there
is in Everett SCOTS performance a Won
derful lesson for all of us in persistency
How many days do YOU suppose there
have been during that long nine years
when Scott felt more like remaining in bed
than getting out on the diamond?
How many times do you suppose he had
to drag himself out to the game by sheer
force of his will?
How many times would YOU, in SCOTS
place, have given up?
Think ii over! The same possibilities
for worlds record for endurance in
YOUR business present themselves, Try
ing for it won't do the business a bit of
harm, and it will make you feel better,
too.
BY the way, we wonder who in Seattle
holds the Everett Scott record locally for
consecutive days at an office or at other
business? 1t would be interesting to
know.
