From April 24 to May 1
"The ol ject of this observance, as
I understand It, Is to assist the pa

and education for thechuldren under
their care. A comprehensive program
has been outlined for the week and
It Is believed the carrying out of

ed of the need for supplying larger

of the country have su.stahied n
seven billion dollar loss tut their
products and received two billion
ilollnin only In credits In the federal
bank system, when they were on
titled to seven billion. The chief
causes given for the giant losu lire
the unnecessary profiteering of the
middlemen, the arbitrary restriction
by the federal reserve bank of
credits, and the unreasonable rise lu
railroad i-ates. The report declares
the total rediscount of the federal

Straivberry Carnival
Called Off Today
There will be no strawborry car
nival in Hosuburg this year.
The Bkids have been put umh-r
Oils IiIk annual event und ut a ineet
in held this inorniiiK be(vicn rop-rest-iitutivus
of the local lire depart
ment and a few busim-Hs men, It was
decided there would be "uothlng
doinK" in the way of Blading Uoug
las county's best and blKBt minimi
affair.
At a p i-o v inns gathering the matter
was thoroughly discussed and plans
formulated whoreby It was decided
to lot the firemen handle the carni
val, their efforts in the past having
hei'ii so fluccpfttful it was thought
host to turn the event over to them.
The boys Beetned willing to take hold
of the annual show, but in t ores t gen
erally neemed to be lacking. An
other feature that discouraged tho
firemen from entering into the car
nival was the fiu:t that there seemed
to bo a disposition not to admit the
Foley & Rurko shows, which It was
conceded by thOTO Interested in the
carnival would be a necessary ad
junct to .successfully carry out a
throo days' program for tho enter
tainment of visitors.
Looking at tho matter from every
auglo the firemen and business liven
interested In the success of tho an
nual strawberry carnival decided
there was absolutely no use 1o pro
ceed further and ftimply dropped the
matter this morning, with the result
that there will he no further effort
made to revive the issue.

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN
TWILIGHT LEAGUE BASEBALL
PLANS FOR THIS SEASON
Managers and Directors Meet
Plan and Will Also Probably Do Away With Com
pulsory Church Attendance Rule.
At a meeting of the executive com-1
mlttee of the Twilight league last
night It was decided that the sea-
son will open on May 10th and tho
merchants,' will be asked to closo
their places of buslners at 3 o'clock for Sunday baseLnll, which Is pri
ll! order that all may attend the niarlly the motive for keeping the
games. The season will open with n 1,-ague active. So far we havo sue
big doubl,. header and the schedule corded well, hnt If wo are to contln
wlll then call for games on four !e wo mU8t provldo a good brand of
nights of a week. Interest this year i hall and must havo good plavers.

Interest In baseball and it has been reducing the class of our games and
uiii.unniuiu iu mime uie leiiKuo a sue-
cess, financially. This year, however,
tho indications are that the attend
ance will be good aB a number r
people who formerly displayed but
little or no Interest in the game, are
this year expressing a great deal of
Interest In tho league.
The grounds hnve been put Into
flne shape, and by tho time for tho
opening game, the diamond will be
In excellent condition. Tlio ground,
which was very rough, has been disc -
ed. scraped, dragged nnd rolled, mid
the Infield snd outfield aro Ibolh
smooth nnd firm, making a fast game
ot nail possible. Last year little work
was done on the diamond nnd It was
so rough that good playing was an
impossibility. This Benson, however,
perfect and fast fielding will doubt
less be one of the features of the
games.
In order that ttie tennis mny ob
tain the best possible material It was
definitely decided last night to aban
don tho contract plnn originally ad
opted. I'pon tho Insistenco of certain
members of the executive committee
It was originally defded to force- the
players to sign Ironclad agreements,
and the league went to considerable
expense In having these forma pre
pared and printed. Hut It was very
quickly learned that to force the
players to sign contracts would be
to break up the league, a nd at he. n , rount was nnI1I)Uncca to
meeting last night, tho contract Plan KNapoleoll ', wlu uct chair

church attendance for pluyor's cuall
flcntlon. Heretofore the rules havo required
ihat a player must attend church al
least twice each month. This has
caused a great deal of trouble as the
mlo has been systematically Ignored
by the most of the players.
"The rule Is of no use or account"
one of Ihe team managers stated to
day. "It does no good to force a
man to go to church, for ho receives
no benefit from compulsory attend
