In many , places it is impossible to cut yet, although the grain is very ripe. The binders mire and enough horses can’t be hitched on to pull a machine.

INSTRUCTED TO ACT FAVORABLY Owners of Local Team Agree to Join the Indiana-Ohio League—Opens Next Sunday. From present indications the much talked of base ball league, which will be composed of the following cities: Richmond, Portland, Decatur, Marion, Bluffton and Van Wert, Ohio, and which #lll be known as the IndianaOhio league, will be formally launched this evening, when the respective managers of these clubs will meet at Muncie, Ind., and adopt their rales and regulations and at the same time adopt their playing schedule. Louis Holthouse, representing the local team, left for Muncie Monday evening and will vote for the organization as the local fans want this kind of base ball and are heartily in favor of it, and he goes with the instructions to support the launching of the league in every respect A league of this description means much for the local management, as it always assures them good dates and the matter of booking teams will be done away with as a schedule will be adopted and, every team will be expected to live up to it. The' mileage will be small, and it will in the end mean that much money will be thus saved from paying out large bills for car fare to poor attractions. The teams included in the league are evenly matched and the struggle for the pennant ,will be Interesting. On Friday evening of last week at a meeting held at Indianapolis, tbe following matters were taken up and discussed which means the success of the league: Friday evening at the Star office in Indianapolis, Manager Frank Runyan of Bluffton, Manager Lewis Hunt, of Portlnd and Manager R. B. Hubbard, of Marlon, met with A. R. Kling; sporting editor of the Star, and took the first steps toward organizing the Indiana-Ohio league, which is to be composed of the following towns--Richmond, Portland, Decatur, Marion, Bluffton and Van Wert, Ohio. Next, Monday evening at 8 o’clock, the managers of the proposed league will meet at the Hotel Delaware, Muncie, and complete arrangements for launching the ( league. At this meeting each team will post SIOO guarantee to finish the season. A schedule will also be drafted, a president elected, and • umpires chosen and other details of minor importance will be transacted. The league season will open Sunday, July 28, and will close Sunday, September 15. There is not the slightest doubt but that the league will be a go as the managers of the teams now proposed to be included in the circuit are enthusiastic about the organization and there are other independent teams already trying to break into the circuit. While the meting was in session Friday there were long distance phones from Marion and Kokomo,each city asking to be included in the league. They were invited to be represented at the league meeting at Muncie Monday evening. Percentage of gate receipts for the home and visiting clubs was arranged for, an.sßoo a month salary limit decided on and a decision was reached to have each club manager draw ,up a schedule, which he will submit at the' Muncie meeting. The' most satisfactory schedule will be adopted. Mr. Kling stated that he thought league ball would increase, the gate receipts in every town from thirty to forty per cent and' all the managers agreed with him. Mr. Kling is slated for the presidency of the league, and he will make a most efficient official. — — — Stimulation Without irritation That is the watchword.

IN THE DECATUR HIGH SCHOOL The Report Has Gained Circulation But is Untrue—lnstead the Advantages Will be Better than Ever. * • f « A report has gained some circulation, especially among the students, that the German and the commercial department may be discontinued in the local high school. It is well that this error be corrected by stating that both the German and the commercial department Will be continued/as heretofore. The commercial course has been rearranged that it may comply with the best interests of the school. A new and more up-to-date bookkeeping sys tem was adopted last year, and a different system of shorthand will be introduced at the beginning of the second semester of the coming year. It is planned to better equip the department by installing• new typewriters and by making other improvements as are found necessary. The entire commercial course will be elective to students of the sophomore year. In compliance with the new school law, which compels all Indiana high schools to offer bookkeeping and commercial arithmetic, the seniors of the college preparatory course may elect bookkeeping as one of the four subjects of the regular course. Commercial students will receive commercial diplomas at the close of the high school course. The commercial studies were put Into a number of the high schools of the state last year, some had departments and others will offer the work the coming year. These departments have proven of much value to many students. It has been shown by statistics that only one per cent of the -high school graduates have gone through college. The other ninety-nine per cent have gone to the busy cares of life, many of them having been helped by a practical education derived from advantages offered by commercial high schools. The board of education has had no intention of discontinuing the work, but, on the other hand, are planning to offer better advantages in the future-. —o PATRIOTS LEAGUE OF AMERICA New Order Started by the Christian Endeavor. Spokane, Wash., July 23. —Members of the Christian Endeavor society in Spokane, are forming what is believed to be the first branch of the Patriots’ League in America. The plan, which is believed to have been suggested by President Roosevelt, was launched at the Seattle convention, just dosed, and the local members started a canvass for membership as soon as the project was sanctioned. The object of the organization Is to promote civic righteousness and the national welfare. Its members will seek a knowledge of public affairs, the laws, needs and possibilities of their town, the state, and the country. They will labor for the election of good an deficient officeholders, for the observance of existing laws, for the adoption of improved laws, r for the encouragement and aid of patriots, and the downfall of all enemies of the country. They will seek to promote the cause of temperance and s personal purity, the improvement of i the conditions of labor, the national i use of the Lord’s day for rest and [ worship.
