his Minneapolis baseball team which
will be reporting there. Kelley's de-
parture from the winter cline is the
ball season of 1897 gets into swing.
Time will fly henceforth, and before
we know it, the race will be on in
earnest.
Mike likes his ball club. "Of
course" he said before leaving Min
neapolis, I'VE have things to do, deals
to make. but not so many when we
consider we have two months before
the first game. We need pitchers and
we need catchers. Give us one high
class catcher, two more pitchers who
can win pretty consistently and l
won't ask for anything else"
Mike believes the strength in the
American Association will lie in the
west this year. He believes st. Paul,
Kansas City and Milwaukee will fight
it out with his Millers. But we may
have to watch Toledo" Mike added.
Detroit is sending some fine ball
players to the Mudhens. They may be
the best team in the eastern half of
the league"
Mike is confident Walter Tauscher
will regain the form he had two years
ago and will be the head man of the
Minneapolis pitching staff. There's
grand pitcher" he exclaimed
What like about Walter is his
courage. I've never known a pitcher
Ia rather see out there on the mound
when the next pitch might mean the
ball game. How that lad can bear
down." Last year Tauscher missed
much of the season because of an in
jured knee. But there is nothing
wrong with his arm and the best
guess is that he will be his old self
/ in 1887.
NagurSki VS.. RafneS.
The largest crowd ever to see
wrestling match in Minneapolis will
pay more money than a wrestling
match has ever drawn to watch
Bronko Nagurski, one time football
star at Minnesota, wrestle Dick
Raines, Texas cow hand, if the pro-
motors can make the match. More
than 5000 fans will pay in the neigh
borhood Of $1,000 for this choice
number in the grunt and growl
routine
! The reason? Well, Dick Raines has
become the most hated athlete ever
to appear in Minneapolis. His draw
ing power lis based on the fans eager
| ness to see him severely punished.
Of all wrestling Williams who have ap
peared in Minneapolis, Raines has won
top place, and i'm wrestling, of course.
| there must be a william before there
can be large gate receipts. It's a
part of the racket.
Nagurski. on the other hand is the
most popular hero Fans believe the
big BrOnko will tear Raines apart and
they all will be there to see the deed
done.
Championship Match.
Under the sponsorship of The Min
neapOlis Journal world champion
ship billiard match is in progress in
Minneapolis this week. Jake Schae-
fer and Willie Hoppe two of the great
est billiard players of all time, will
play challenge round for the worlds
2S.2 championship which is now held
by Schaefer.
This is new game combining the
best features of the old balkline game
and the more modern three-cushion
game. 1t is said to be the coming fad
in billiards the game in which
all future major championships will
be played.

The senate rural credit committee
is trying TO amend the rural credit
law so as to enable the farm owner
or prospective owner to carry the loan
and liQuidate the debt. In 1885 an
experiment was started in selling the
farm back to the previous owner on
a crop payment plan. This has worked
out so we'll that we are extending this
plan to new buyers. 1t is expected
that this will again materially speed
UP sales and it is hoped that the state
owned farms will soon be back in
possession of the individual farmer.
The crop payment plan may only be
used by a bona fide farmer who eX-
poets to make a home. The Rural
Credit department is taking a great
loss which is unavoidable as the re-
suit of exorbitant loans granted in
the early years of the department.
Upon first thought one would advise
that the state get rid of such a white
elephant at any price. Two obstacles
present themselves. First, the rural
credit bonds were long time invest
ments, some maturing in 1854. The
bonds total S58.465, 900 but bonds plus
interest Of per cent to AZ per cent
up to 1854 equal 500, 169. 5413S. The
state stands a fair chance to recover
a good share of the principal but in
terest must be continued to he paid
on the bonds. An attempt has been
made to refinance at lower interest
but certificates are only surrendered
upon payment of a premium which is
in reality prepaid interest.
The second danger in forced sale is
that the Spectator would be the
quickest to grab the opportunity of
payment plan along with a reduced
interest rate does seem the most eff
fective method of handling the job
of placing these farms back in farmer
ownership again.

Building Materials Rise On
Low Interest Rates, Says
University Economist.

Lowering Of rates on mortgage
money with lensthening Of the term
of the mortgage will result In higher
and higher prices Of building nnateri-
ais, according to Ivan Wright, profess
sor OF economics At the University Of
Illinois, In an address before the
North Central Conference Of the
United States Building and Loan
League In Chicago today. Or. Wright
pointed out that conversely . marked
drop In the value Of buildings k likely
to follow upward turn Of mortgage
rates, which he feels to be inevitable.
The low money rates We have at
conditions" said DR.. Wright. Cheap
money has resulted from, the lack of
demand caused by business depres-
sion, currency and credit imitation,
concentration Of gold largely IN the
United States and the general fear
on the part Of the investor.
Artificial conditions change much
more rapidly than normal ones, and
therefore We may look for o rapid
change in the money rates which
have been brought on by these con-
ditions. As q matter Of fact, we can
expect very much higher money rates.
and II history repeats itself the change
will be fast and furious.
AT the present time the causes
for cheap money are beginning to
turn, and the forces making for
higher price money are asserting
themselves. Prices are beginning to
rise sharply. The fear Of imitation
is driving the investing and consum-
ing public to buy tangible things.
Foreign capital in this country may
soon be tempted by profitable oppor-
tunities to return home. As these
conditions progress they will gain mo-

mentum, and low money rates will
probably disappear rapidly, more
rapidly than they develop"
Or. Wright pointed out that the
Illusion that cheap money Is here to
stay has featured other periods of
American history. For example, in
1901 and 1904 and IN 1912 ana 1913.
when the same claims were being

cheap money are laudable ambitions, !"

efforts may lengthen the period OF
