ENVOY OF FARMERS
BACKS SURPLUS BILL

WASHINGTON, April 3.--R-
Resuming his testimony before the
Senate Agricultural Committee, VIII
liam Hirth, head of committee from
the corn belt, declared today the bill
to handle the surplus problem by
levying a fee ON agricultural prod
ucts was the best that could be OBJ
tanned at this time by the farmer.
The chief difficulty with the meas
ure, he said, was that it could not
compel curtailment of crops to pre-.
cent a surplus, although it gave an
opportunity for organized voluntary
curtailment.
Senator Ransdell. Democrat, Louis
lana, said cotton had been included
among the crops TO pay fee with
out the cotton world knowing any
thing about it. The cotton producers,
he said, should be heard.

CHICAGO GETS READY
TO MEET OLD LINERS

CHICAGO, October 5.-Coach Stage
of the University of Chicago foot bail
team has plunged into intense prep
aration for the two East-West clashes
on the Maroon schedule. Chicago
meets the University of Maryland on
Stage Field next Saturday and
travels to Philadelphia the following
week to seek revenge for last years
defeat at the hands Of the Quakers.
Scouts report that Maryland may
prove a dark horse" as the Old
Liners have a heavy, though not eX-
perienced line and an array of back
field material. Maryland. a scout re-
peated. springs its plays from the
formation made famous by Warner.
now Stanford University coach. This
formation is especially adaptable to
criss-cross plays and deceptive ducks.
Maroon stock has risen, not so
much by the 1875 victory over Florida
last Saturday, but on account Of the
fact that Stage put on display a fin
ished forward passing game. some
thing new for him. His team has the
power along all other lines.
1t is believed. though. that Mary
land has more potential power than
Florida, and that it may be developed
to a dangerous stage by next Satur
