THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT An
ASSURED THING.
The Ladies Have Taken Hold to See
u Built.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of
the Varina Davis Chapter, U. D. C,
was held on the afternoon of Novem-
Der ], at the home OF Mrs. H. L Rich
ardson.
An important object of the meeting
was to take active and permanent
steps toward the erection OF a monu-
ment to the Confederate dead of Le-
fore County. Resolutions were offer
ed and passed asking the other Con-
federate organizations of the city
Hugh A. Reynolds Camp, U. G. ";
Mildred Humphreys Camp, U.S.C.V.,
and J. 2 George Chapter, U. D. c.,
to unite in raising funds for the monu-
ment.
A committee was appointed to see
Judge s R. Coleman, our State Rep
resentative, in regard to introducing
a bill in the next Legislature authoriz-
ing the Board of Supervisors of Le-
fore county to make an appropriation
for the purpose.
The Boards of other counties have
been generous in their donations for
this purpose, and we feel sure that
Lefore County will not be found
wanting in her duty to the brave SOL
diers who sacrificed their all in their
devotion to their country.
Mrs Yerger brought in her report
stating that she had attended the last
meeting of the Hugh A. Reynolds
Camp, as instructed, and that it had
assured her of its warm and earnest
cooperation in the work which the
Chapter has undertaken.
At her suggestion, the Camp direct
ed Judge Coleman to introduce bill
at the next meeting of the Legisla-
ture.

He Needed the Money

When now famous specialist began
the practice of medicine as a young
man he numbered among his first
patients a certain Mr.. Darlie of Woon-
socket, R. l. For a time the young
physician treated his patient success
fully for very painful tumor on the
neck.
One day the doctor called to inquire
after his patients progress. Although
assured that the latter was enjoying
health he had never known before, he
at once assumed an air of the greatest
concern and advised a speedy operation.
But" said the astonished GONZALES
cent in broadest Scotch, "Dinna ye tell
me yourself an operation wasna neces-
sary! I'm feelin' better than haze twa
year gone, an wha' dye want to cut

The physician hesitated a moment,
then resumed embarrassedly: We'll

although last until the three-quarters
pole was reached, made leisurely run
to the stretch and when the time ar
rived for him to make his bid for first
money, he had everything in the speed
line and was fresh enough to Withstand
the gruelling race in the final eighth.
The attendance yesterday was equal
to the record made Thursday, when
thousands turned out to witness the
contest between Hazel Patch and 10
lock. And it was a reluctant audience
which arose and filed out of the grand
stand after the final heat IN the 2:40
trot, which ended the days program
and the meeting.
The infield was again crowded with
vehicles and the occupants witnessed
the contests from their points of want
age in the bluegrass enclosure.
Immediately before the races began
huge bouquet was sent to the judges
stand and almost precipitated a riot
among the crowned heads of the asso-
citation until it was ascertained that
the donors, Mrs. C. A. Garfield and
Mrs. Henry Berry, dedicated the flow

PORTLAND WINS
SLUGG|NG MATCH
WEBF00TERS EVEN UP ALL
OLD SCORES
loren, Goodwin and Baum Unable to
Head of Northerners, Who Bat
Like Fiends and Score
Regularly

The webfooted aggregation from
Portland evened UP all the old scores
they ever had against the Angels in
yesterdays game and the drubbing ad-
ministered to the pennant chasers
caused the latter to resemble a prize
winning bunch of amateurs
Sixteen hits were turned into fifteen
runs and loren, Goodwin and Baum
were experiencing an off day and
couldn't keep the ball out of reach of
the 42-inch ash sticks from the Port
land bat bag.
Jones was also slugged until he was
half inclined to hand in his resigna-
ton, but this did not mean runs every
time for the Angels, and when Umpire
j. Ira "Slats" Davis announced the
end of the game the locals had one
run less than half as many as did their
opponents.
The game was an exempliication of
how bad it could be played if an effort
should be made as a test. In this re-
gard 1t was a record breaker, as we'll
as heartbreaker. Every form of play
and misplay in the base ball dictionary
was given a demonstration in the nine
innings, and the game will probably
be recorded in history as the only
one of its kind.
The score is sufficiently disgraceful
without elaboration and is given in
full detail herewith

A Profitable Investment
Few Words In Defense of
Qace Track Sneculafinn

Most people assume that it is morally
wrong to speculate, that is on the result
of a future event. and the cause of this
arises from the fact that the assumption
has been generally accepted by mutitudes
of people who put up a fence between
sport and trade. In their opinion 1t Is
former but perfectly right to do SO on
the latter, Now this is not true. Dealing
in real estate is looked upon as an ex-
ceedngly solid and respectable business.
Yet speculate is the very life and soul
of the trade What is more common than
for man to take option on lot or sew
is, that but, wager? The owner practic-
ally bets that the property will not ad-
vance in price, while the holder of the
simply betting on the correctness Of their
his capacity to pick out the best horse in
ly moral. It is abuse of speculation, not
its use, which is wrong. To illustrate this:
We will say that man settles in a
strange locality and commences to invest
in real estate with absolutely no knowl-
edge of its value, and does so upon the
advice of those who have it for sale.
When the bubble bursts he will find him.
self bankrupt. and the same will befall
an inexperienced person who goes to the
race track to speculate 1 truthfully be-
lieve that the American turf of today
affords one of the best fields for specula-
ton. What | mean by this is careful,
shrewd and conservative speculation. But
an inexperienced person mas no more
chance of making money on race track
than a blacksmith has of filling a watch
makers position. l have been connected
with the turf for a number of years and
know from experience that this is true.
Today, though, is the day of systems,
and all successful business is conducted
by the use of some system. A few years
ago such thing as a system was un-
heard of on the race track but they have
finally found their way there and have
como to stay.
1t was only last spring that the book
makers on the eastern tracks began to
realize that there was a leak some place
and that they were having their per-
centage taken away from them, and
after figuring industriously for few days
they concluded that it was the system
players that were making the inroads
into their bank rolls.
After several years of study. and after
blending the ideas of some of the most
successful turf experts with those of my
own, I have completed a system by the
use of which person with limited
amount of capital can win from $40. 90 to
$15 90 per day. Experience is not neces-
sary, though it always proves beneficial.
L want to place this system in the hands
of not more than 90 or 80 parties to OPP
crate during the race meeting here, and
/ wish to do this on a percentage basis.

The Caldwell Band

During the past two years Cald-

band. 1t is considered the best in
Idaho. The town has received
many compliments on its brass
band and feels proud of the boys.
Prof. Gordon has given a great
deal of time and attention to the
matter. He is an energetic and
enthusiastic leader. The boys pro-
pose to have a better band than
ever this year, and the commenda-
bic idea should receive every en-
couragement from the people of
Caldwell. There is only one way
in which a town of Caldwell's size

bravery and endurance: and suf-

The capture of the fortress cost
millions of dollars and thousands of

in absolute control of practically all
of Manchuria and relieves an army
of SO, 900 men. These men can, re-
inforce the Japanese army which is
