Show THE LEIII SUN. LEW, UTAH BRISBANE THIS WEEK A Long Swim Money Flow West S5 for $3.39 Not So Barren The new year, 1035, latest con-trlbutlon con-trlbutlon of Father Time to the long chain of beads called "eternity," U aere, aid we are In It. We shall continue to read opinions and rumors, plans and criticism of plari, la our slow progress to prosperity's pros-perity's shore. It Is a long swim when yon are thrown overboard In the middle of Lake Superior. This country was thrown overboard la another lake of superior prosperity and unlimited expectations back in 1329. ' Farmers, newspapers devoted to the fanners' Interest, big bankers in the East, are Interested in the fact that the money tide that for so long flowed from producers in the West to accumulators in the East, is now Sowing in the other direction. direc-tion. The money tide goes out toward the farms of wheat raisers and stock, in the West and Middle West, and to. the cotton farmers la the South. It is as though the Great Lakes had been tilted upward at the eastern end, and the waters sent rushing toward the Rocky moun tains. The tide will not flow long in that western direction, probably. Men that have the mortgages and collect the interest accumulate the money, In the lor.g run. Long ago, a man wagered that he would stand on London bridge offering of-fering genuine gold sovereigns for a shilling each and find few takers. The gold sovereigns were genuine, but nobody would buy. Mel Smith, a circus official called "Lucky" Smith, bet that Los Angeles citizens would refuse to buy genuine $5 bills for &L39. Hundreds walked by, looked at the genuine bills. Some cried "Fakel" Only two purchased. "Lucky" Smith woa a $100 wager. Many Americana wish they had been as skeptical about certain stock back in 1929. The distinguished George W. Russell Rus-sell of Ireland, who signs his writings writ-ings "AE," says, "I am always struck by the terrible barrenness of rural life in America." lie thinks we must "find some way to enrich it," and if we don't, "then the disease dis-ease which destroyed ancient Italy will eat Into America. You will no longer feed yourselves, and yon will te struck with palsy of bread and circuses." Mr. Russell may find greater richness rich-ness In Irish farmhouses, but it Is a richness of the character and of the mind, not the surroundings. There Is little barrenness about, other than Intellectual, in our rural life with its automobile, radio, moving pictures pic-tures within easy reach, rural delivery, de-livery, porcelain bath tubs, mall order or-der catalogues, prayer meetings, revivals, re-vivals, annual circus, the public library, li-brary, eosn reached by automobile. Next summer our ships of war. "venturing almost to oriental waters," wa-ters," will engage In far-flung war games covering more than 5,000,000 square miles of the Pacific ocean. Mow interesting that will be. and bow rapidly those ships would come running home to hide away in port If a few large bombing planes should sail out from Asia, from Tokyo or Russia's Vladivostok, over those 6,000,000 square miles of the Pacific and drop explosive bombs and poison gas bombs on the battleships bat-tleships I Ice-Age Vegetation Very Like Ours of Today Remains of an Ice-age cypress for est have been unearthed near Annapolis An-napolis by Dr. Charles T. Berry, Johns Ilopklns university paleontologist. Seeds believed to indicate the type of vegetation, which covered this section of the country from 25,000 to 100,000 years ago, also were discovered dis-covered by Doctor Berry. Waves cutting into the face of Greenbury point were responsible for Doctor Berry's discovery. The forest is directly across the Severn river from Annapolis. The swamp consisted chiefly of bald cypress trees, believed to have flourished In Pleistocene days. It apparently filled a deep valley through which ran two ancient streams from one to three feet deep and several feet wide. At the extreme end of the point, and exposed only at low tide, are approximately 25 cypress stumps from two to six or more feet in diameter. At the cliffs base is a Ove-foot bed of black clay, in the lower portion of which roots and knees of stumps are so interwoven that they sometimes form a solid wooden floor. Doctor Berry was able to identify several species of Ice-age vegetation vegeta-tion from seeds gathered in the muck. It was pointed out, however, that the ancient vegetation did not differ greatly from that growing in the area today.

In the Literary JWigesu Babe Euth and a team of major league stars visited Japan, slamming slam-ming out borne runs and fanning the best batters In the Far East The Invading Americans naturally won their games, but they were playing teams that were eager to learn every new trick of the trade. It U a characteristic char-acteristic of the Japanese that they pick up something new, master It, and then Improve upon It America can one day expect that the problem of parity will Involve baseball as well as battleships. The Japanese not only play baseball base-ball and play It well, but they eat, drink, and sleep It It Is their main source of recreation. Even though the Japanese are enthusiastic about all forms of athletics from their own Judo (Ju-jutsu) and kendo (fencing) to such western sports as basketball, sklilng and' rowing, baseball out ranks all other games put together In the Interest of Japanese. In every ev-ery public park, one finds games be ing played from early morning (I have seen boys walking to the park all dressed up In their uniforms at six o'clock In the morning), until dark Ail who can play baseball, and those who ore too old or too busy to play, follow the school and col lege games closely. The lnterscholas- tlc tournaments, which are held In the big cities, and all of the games of the Tokyo University league are broadcast from the two biggest radio stations In Japan. Millions of people listen In. Stores, where there are radios, are crowded. Baseball In Japan Is now several generations old. It was first Intro duced Into the country la 1S89 by an American engineer who was working on the government railways. In his spare time he taught some of the laborers to play baseball, and organized organ-ized games between the different gangs. American visiting professors did likewise for their pupils, and It was not long before most of the colleges col-leges had teams. Games frequently were played against the crews of American Bhlps docked In Japanese ports, and against teams made op of American residents. Then, in 1005, the Yfaseda university univer-sity tram made a trip to the west coast I'l.'jing against Stanford and other of the coast colleges. Ind dentally. It was the first time that Japanese players used spikes. When they arrived In Palo Alto, It was dis covered that the spikes bad all been put on backward. Every cobbler In the town had to be rounded up to make the necessary changes before the game the following day. From 1005 on, trips back and forth between be-tween American and Japanese col leges have been frequent Some of the other American college teams that have visited Japan are : Stanford, Stan-ford, California, Washington, Wis consin, Michigan, and Illinois. A group of big league and coast league players went to Japan In 1908, playing games against Keio, Waseda and an all-star team. Though the professionals won ail their games, many of them were close. Five years later McGraw and Comlskey brought their all-star National and American league teams to the Orient Their games were watched with eager eyes by the Japanese, who are ever anxious anx-ious te learn all there Is to know about the game. Perhaps even more Important In the development of baseball In Japan Ja-pan was Keio's hiring, In 1911, two young players of the New York Giants, Arthur Joseph Schaefer apd Fuller W. Thompson, to coach them for a month In a winter training camp at Kobe. It was then, for the first time, that Japanese teams learned to play baseball base-ball scientifically. Since the university univer-sity players coach the middle schools (corresponding to our high schools) during the summer, the knowledge thus acquired was quickly and wide ly disseminated. As far back as twenty-three years ago, therefore, the Japanese knew how to slav baseball, and Dlaved with reasonable success against American colleges. In the summer of the same year, 1911, Eelo toured the United States, playing against forty college and professional teams, winning 60 per cent of their games The Japanese take baseball very seriously, even more so than Ameri cans take football The players live together In a dormitory adjacent to the baseball field where they can talk baseball fifteen hours a day and practice three hours. All in all, the members of these Japanese college teams are either playing or coaching baseball eight months out of the year. In the Kobe-Osaka district It Is possible to play all the year round.

Poplars Impoverish Soil Poplar trees do Impoverish the soil, in the sense that they sap the moisture out of the soil and make it difficult for other plants to obtain ob-tain sufficient moisture. This habit of poplar trees is caused by the fact that their roots are superficial and do not descend to any depth. Hi lfcILII,FX.T. 11:45 A.H.HT.
