ANNOUNCES MORE
SUPPORT PRICES

Support prices proposed by the Wal
Food Administration for hay and pas
ture seeds in 1914 are in general
higher than those of last year. In
creases of 8 cents per pound were
proposed for northern alfalfa, red
clover, alsike clover, and bienniel vel
low sweetclover and of 2 cents a
pound for biennial white sweet clover
and Sudan grass. Western grasses
would be increased as much as so per
cent because of harvesting difficulties,
and several grasses appear on the sup
port program for the first time this
year.

Of history as an indication of
our ability, ID II none-the-less
true that In the fire-year period,
from 1896 10 1910, this nations
work was done by the follow
ing groups:
TWO LARGEST
agriculture and manufactur-
Ing were the two largest, each
accounting for "a per cent OF
the nations employment. The
remaining SO per cent was ac-
eemmedated by mining, public
utilities, transportation and con-
struction, counting for IL per
cent; trade, distribution and
finance, rs per cent; govern
ment, 8 per cent; armed forces,
I per cent; services and miscei-
laneous, Is per cent.
'Thus IL can be seen that
only one-fourtb of the nation
made the goods that the total
nation consumed. Correspond.
iRgly, the manufacturer was
responsible for only n fourth Of
the nations employabies."

four points in the annual poll con-
Quoted by a committee of the Base

who learned this year to control his
blazing fast ball by controlling his
temper polled total of 236 points.
The writers, three from each of the
leagues eight cities, each voted for
10 players and the votes ranged in
point value from ID points for a first
place ballot, nine fer second place,
eight for third and so on down to
one for tenth. NewhouSer received
only seven birthplace votes. but 10
Second-place ballots and six third
place votes won for him. No writer
placed Hal lower than third.

houSer to pitch the Tigers to within
one game of the pennant. polled 10

of first-place ballots received, but
only three second-place votes, two
third, three foul tn, three fifth and
