Children

win save if given the proper
amount of encouragement. A
parent owes it as a duty to his
child to urge thrift and to ex-
plain the value of money. "AS
the tWg is bent, the tree is in

save rather than to spend; to
bring about such a result, a
savings account will prove a
strong factor. The small &C

It is announced that President

matter with Richmond? Perhaps
a little effort would get short

Is there any reason why Anderson

TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCES
Says Opinions of Europeans Are Not
Conducive of American Conceit,
But the Opposite.

The closing number of the Augusta
ma Lyceum entertainment course was
given in the college chapel last even
ing. This number was a lecture ny
the Hon. Walter M. Chandler, a young
attorney of New York city, who de-
ture on Humorous Experiences
Abroad" The lecture was a fitting
climax to the course of the year and
was one of the most enjoyable of the
entire series. 1t was in the whole
a collection of entertaining an
ecdotes of travel in Europe. Tine
speaker is one who possesses the abil-
ity of taking an incident not amusing
in itself and so clothing it in the
choice of a few words and appropriate
facial expressions, that his audience
will fairly roar with laughter. He pos
sesses remarkable vocabulary,
and for the two and one-half
hours during which he spoke, he
held the attention of his audience.
He told in a most interesting and in
structive manner of his numerous eX-
periences in many foreign countries
and of the language, manners, customs
and habits of foreign lands. and n
conclusion brought out the fact that the
manner in which the residents of other
nations look at America and Ameri
cans is one not conducive to the &C.
quirement of much conceit by the
Americans

NEARY IS LOSER
Milwaukee Fighter Gets Short
End of Prize in Battle
With Memsic.
LET ADVANTAGE SLIP BY
Floored Opponent in Second. But A..
lowed Him to Recover and to
Outpoint Him.

Milwaukee, March 23.-In the most
disappointing battle Charlie Neary has
ever fought in Milwaukee the local
favorite was given a terrific drubbing
in 10 rounds by George Memsic, otn
erwse known as Jimmy" Burns of
Chicago.
Starting out in the first round Neary
dropped his man for the count of nine
with as hard a right as was ever land
ed in a glove battle. The thousands IF
Neafyitas joined in exultant yeils for
their favOrite In those brief moments
the referee was tOlling off the seconds
Milwaukee saw Neary not only restor-
ed to his place in the lightweight divi-
sion, but pictured him as a coming
champion
But a few minutes later their hopes
were dashed. Neary failed to follow
up his advantage. He allowed his OPP
ponent sufficient time to collect his
scattered senses and after that he was
never within hailing distance.
With terrible left Memsic battered
the luckless German through one round
| after anOtner.
| Round after round the fans looked
to see Neary spring his right again.
| But that hard-hitting member was idle
most of the time.

Richard offered a purse of 100000 for

MED by Frank Murphy, whom he
brings as a candidate for the outfiel l.
Judging by the appearance of the
new head of the Rock Island baseball
team. the good things that have been
said about him and about his baseball
prowess were not far off. Physically
he will be one of the biggest men On
the circuit. standing over feet hiSh
and playing ball at 200 pounds ayoirdu
pois. When he leans up against a
twister it will never stop going. And
he looks the kind of a man whom the
fans and the players will have conf
dence in.
Mr.. Tighe was not disposed to speak
bOastfully today regarding what he in
tends to do to the other aggregations
in this circuit, but he is confident that
with the material that has been picked
out for him he will be able to make al
least a little noise
Time To Show Later.
There will be plenty of time later
on to cinch the pennant," he said to IN
Argus representative today. Referring
to the men he will have to work with
he went on: 81 judge by the records
of the Rock Island players last year

as any of them, and if we can brace
up the hitting a trife. | guess we will
