THE FEDERAL LEAGUE By GEORGE R. HOLMES. Organized baseball has its eye glued to the knothole. The knothole is about the size of a dime and in the, Federal’s fence. 0. B. is might- ily interested in knowing how many ten-cent baseball fans there are in these United States. Ever since Jim Gilmore kicked his entire collection hats into the ring, 0. B.’s clockers - +hgve, been working diligently in the various Federal yards. Why should O. B. be mightily interested? It hasn’t been very many moons ago since Ban Johnson was tuning up his basso for the Feds’ funeral dirge. ‘The reason is apparent—O. B. has come to the realization that some- thing is the matter with baseball, and there are enough good business heads in O. B.’s ranks to want to find out what it is. So it’s going to see if Dr. Gilmore has properly diagnosed the case, Dr. Gilmore’s diagnosis be- ing that the dear old public is tired of paying big prices to see games. That, however, raises a question in the minds of a lot of baseball men as to what the Johnson-Tener com- bine will do if it ultimately finds that the Feds are right. With high sal- aries, high running expenses, high cost of equipment and various other high departments of the business ends of baseball, can O. B. exhibit its wares to the fans at a dime a throw? A careful canvass of opin- CATTLE SHOW SHATTERS ALL RECORDS. Entry List for Four Breeds Ex- ceeds All Former Records. The largest entry list ever received by any State Fair cattle show in America has been obtained by the Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 6 to 11, Insuring one of the greatest exhibits ever held anywhere. A stupendous effort is being exerted to care for the large number of animals expected. Previous entry records have been broken for Short Horn, Hereford, Red Polled, and Ayrshire cattle. The Jer- sey show is far larger than the one of a year ago. Other breeds barely fall below previous marks. In all it will be the largest combined showing of beef and dairy cattle ever held any- where. Over 1,100 animals have been entered. Big Livestock Market. No doubt the remarkable success of the cattle show this year is due to the interest which breeders are taking in the great public livestock market, which it is the desire of the fair to promote. Breeders have been urged to attend the Minnesota State Fair, because of the opportunity af- forded of selling surplus stock to farmers in the Northwest. Farmers have been urged to attend the fair to buy this pure-bred stock to be used iz grading up home herds. The Horse Show is to be remark- ably successful this year, for the same reasons. Nearly twice as many local breeders have entered horses at the Minnesota fair as formerly. In ad- dition there have been large entries from all parts of the country, and the leading draft breeds will make an excelleni showing. Swine and Sheep. The Swine and Sheep Shows will both break nearly all previous rec- ords. The pig-club contest, in which fully fifty pigs will be shown, and the Poland-China Futurity, in which twen- ty-three herds will be exhibited, are principal reasons for the greater number of hogs. All space in the sheep barns has been disposed of. PARCEL POST EXPLAINED Large Exhibit to Be Shown at Minne- sota State Fair, Sept. 6 to 11. Of what importance is the parcel post to the farmer and the city per- son? Though it may be important how can anyone take advantage of it? Such are some of the perplexing questions which will be solved by a large parcel post exhibit at the Min- nesota State Fair, Sept. 6 to 11, which has just been arranged by the Twin City postoffice departments. It is to be placed in the Agricultural building in a very prominent place. Principal emphasis will be placed. upon the producer’s problems. All kinds of retainers for fruit, eggs, dressed poultry, butter and other farm produects will be shown. A spe- cialist in charge will answer any questions asked, and explain to any one how the parcel post may be taken advantage of.

Phonq 100 Bemidji How to Standardlze Your Stationery - Every business man appreciates the value of standardization. The idea as applied to stationery is just as practical and valuable. All the letterheads and forms used in your home office or your branches, and all the blanks and slips used in your factories, can be standardized in at least one respect—the paper upon which they are printed. : The first requisite, of course, is to find one paper good enough for a letterhead, strong enough for a form to be handled in the workshop and cheap enough to use for everything. q HATMERTIILL BOND certainly possesses all these qualifications. You will find that it suits the man who wants quality, ‘‘crackle’” and strength in a letterhead. The ripple or linen finish is particularly suit- able for letterhead use. But HAMMERMILL BOND is so low in price you can use it for all your slips and forms. It is particularly adapted for them in fact, because it comes in twelve colors and white.
