of the Mineral Belt association was
digpilbtd at a meeting of the associa
tion coaches in Hotel Connors Satur
day night, According to the decision
of the couchc present, there was no
eleven in the association which had
qualified lo tiie title -jy playing six
Mineral Bolt games.
The Mineral Belt officials evidently
orgot that Monett had played seven
Mineral Belt games during the year.
The Monett eleven played Peirce
City, Mt. Vernon, Carthage, Neosho,
Aurora, Webb City and Columbus,
Kansas, a total of seven games. Ac
cording to the Mineral Belt constitu
tion, as reported, Monett is entitled
to the championship in spite of the
fact that Engleman's eleven was de
feated by Peirce City, Mt. Vernon and
Carthage, for the sole reason that no
other eleven played a sufficient num
ber of games to qualify.
During the meeting here, several
coaches branded the association as
loosely constructed and recommended
that the officials be reprimanded, for
the reason that they had not kept the
other officials informed of the prog
ress of the association. Coach R. A.
Graddy, president of the association,
did not attend the meeting.
The coaches from Monett and Auro
ra asserted that Graddy had caller)
olf games with their teams u few min
utes before the scheduled time and for
that reason protested Joplin's claim to
the title, which was based on the fact
that the Miners won five games and
took another on a forfeit, which pro
cedure if consistently carried out
would have forfeited contests to Mo
nett and Aurora.

The typical farmer has every reason

Though he works with his hands and
is a laborer in the most literal sense
he is also a proprietor a capitalist,
if you please and an employer of
labor. As a consumer, he naturally
favors reasonable prices for com

ducts he inevitably deplores industrial
disturbance affecting the prosperity
of the market, and as an employer he
is out of sympathy with abnormal

shortened hours. The agriculturists,

Organizations which advise the

measures as a means to secure special
privileges for the farmers as a class,

carried to a final conclusion could
only mean the wiping out of individu
