POBUSHKR, We publish this week a cotnmuni cation which discourses somewhat on the other side of the question. Base ball has frown in intensity and de veloped in science nntil none but the most skillful players are in demand to produce a game which appeals to the initiated. It is a question of bat teries and those who are very expert command salaries far beyond what any small town can pay. It there. fore becomes a simple business prop osition. Can a town like Milford, where the attendance on games ran ges about the 4000 mark in a season, with say receipts of about f 1000, at ford a team iwith sufficient rank to draw those who have been accus tomed to witness games of the high est skill. That base ball is popular no one will deny, but does the Milford team as it has been constituted In the past and probably must be In future, present sufficient attractions to out siders to induce any considerable number to come here who would not otherwise do so. People attend be cause the grounds are convenient and it is a cheap way to be amused for a couple of hours, but suppose there was no baseball would they not seek some other form of amusement or recreation, It cost last year about 1?00 to support the game, money raised by subscriptions, entertain ments and admissions. About (1100 of this sum went out of town to the players, in salaries and guarantees. Was this sum compensated by an in creased number of guests attracted here by ball or does such a condition largely benefit the town. If ball is not worth what it costs, or if the game is not worth the oandle, would it not be better to revert to some otb er form of attraction less expensive. There are several ways in which money may be spent, with probable profit, in advertising the town, in bettering the conditions of roads, in street lighting and in buying lots and building bungalows. There should be a full, fair and free discussion of Milford needs and the business men, hotel keepers and others should meet and discuss plans, ways and means and all aim to pull together. Milford needs a business mens association, and she needs it the worst way. A number of banks and Trust com pauies recently have advanced the rate of interest on deposits to i rer cent. If a bank has a large borne discount patronage at 6 per cent It can afford to pay this rate but if it must depend on investing in bonds there can be but little profit, while the inducement to take risks for the sake of a larger gain increases. Loans on real estate are seldom above 6 per ?ent now and they can be taken only by trust oompanies and savings banks. Competition in rates of in tereat paid should not be permitted to weaken the stability of a financial Institution. How's This?

Foster D, Coburn of the Kansas Department of Agriculture says that in farming, as in every other busi ness, more depends on the man than on the kind of business. There are people who might be dropped down into the Garden of Eden with every thing at hand, and within five years they would be thrown ont by the sherifl. There are others, who could drop naked into the heart of Sahara and in five years would have the des ert producing every luxury, cd themselves surrounded by all mod ern conveniences. ASTHMA CATARRH .
