by accident. Cobbs stand on this
point causes considerable surprise, az
the Detroit club has always treated its
PLAYERS most literally in this respect,
Cobb himself having had experience
OF this sort when incapacitated from
duty in 1905 by causes not arising
from baseball.
IL is common knowledge among the
players that this policy has always
been followed by the club which paid
Jimmie Barrett for months and then
secured him a non-reserve contract
with another club. as well as paying
Mcintyre for the larger part of last
season in full, and liquidating all the
expenses OF operation performed on
Lowe and Davy Jones for hurts re-
ceived on the field.
Cobb will get no special contract
from the Detroit baseball club" says
President Navin. He knows our pol.
lev and has no reason 10 hold out on
that line. Neither he nor any of other
player on our staff will get anything

The fact that no less than nine more
Tiges have received their contracts
and offered no objection 10 the terms
therein contained makes IL virtually
certain that the great majority OF
these are satisfied
Some ball players never mail in
their contracts TO the club but sign
them and bring them along when they
report for the training trip. Typical
OF that class is Bill Coughlin, the
clubs field leader who has never bag
gled with the clubs terms In his SER
vice as a member OF the organization,
but who is always one OF the last to
sign. In this list, current reports 20
the contrary, Is also Claude Rossman,
the Tiger first sacker.
Claude, In spite OF the fact that he
had hoped TO get more money. has not
yet returned his contract unsigned
this being additionally the method Of
declaring war, always adopted by dis
satisfied players. Rossman has writ
ten President Navin a letter. stating
that he win bring his contract with
him when he reports I'm March and
voices the belief that there will be no

Any time a ball player holds OF for
talk and reports for duty. there need
be no alarm felt regarding his inten-
tions. and Rassmsn knows too, that
his absence would not cripple the Tig-
ers by any means, but would only give
young Koekill a chance TO get into
some OF the spring games in which
he would otherwise be playing the
bench.
The club has still TO tender con.
tracts to Pitchers Mullin, Killian and

TO come up TO tho Office and sign there

Topic.-Foreign missions. Fidelia Fiske
and missions in Persia.-Mic. Nv, IL.
The history of Persia from a re-
ligious standpoint is a most interesting
one. 1t was SO situated that in the
early centuries of Christianity it's ter
ritory was the ground of many religious
controversies and conflicts, both Chris
tian and Mohammedan. 1t is also in
teresting because of the intimate re-
lationS that existed in Old Testament
times between Persia and the people
of God. The Jewish prophets predict
ed the destruction of all the surround
ing nations, and their prophecies have
come true. But Persia was never de-
nounced, and it stands today as one
Of the nations of the world. 1t was
through Cyrus, king of Persia, that
the chosen people were allowed to re-
turn to Jerusalem. The early religion
was that Of Zoroastrianism-the wor-
ship Of tire-and it, like Judaism.
taught the existence Of our God. This
was another tie that bound the two ma
lions together. This unique relation
ship between Judah and Persia existed
with no other nation and adds new in
terest to religion in Persia.
1t cannot be said that Christianity
has ever had strong hold upon Per-
sian life. Christianity was early press
ed upon the Persians, but the old faith
of Zoroaster as the state religion pre-
dominated. Persian kings often IA
vored Christianity, but the people held
fast to the old faith. 1t was a hard
field, and progress was slow. And
then in the fifth century there were bit
ter controversies within the Christian
church. which finally led to separa-
ton between the eastern Christians
and those Of the west. This final sep
aration was the HISTORIAN controversy
concerning the nature of Christ The
Persian emperor championed the cause
of Nestorius, probably because ii
pleased him to see his subjects break
the bonds that existed enthusiastically
between them and Rome The Nesto-
rians made great progress throughout
Persia. The next religious movement
was the complete subjugation of the
Persians by the Mohammedans, who
from that day to this have ruled in
Persia. Despite the conquest of the
Moslems, Christian missions have still
been carried on and are today.
Miss Fidelia Fiske takes high rank
among those who have engaged In
school work. She was born in Shell
burne, Mass, May 1, 1916. She died
in the same place at the home Of her
brother July 26, 1864. In 1881 Miss
Fiske was pupil and then teacher at
Mount Holyoke seminary with Miss
Mary Lyon. partaking largely of her
spirit. In 1S43 she went to Persia to
a HISTORIAN mission. Here she labored
for fourteen years and then was com
PEELED by i'll health to return to the
United States. where she still kept up
her interest and activity in the mission
school at Oroomiah. Persia, where she
had labored. Her work was farreach.

CARE OF PLANTS.

Tbs Proper Way to Water Flowers
Kept Indoors.
There are three ways to water
plants, two wrong ways and one right
one. Many people adhere to the plan
of frequent application Of small
amounts of water. THUS the soil about
the top of the pot is constantly moist,
but the lower two-thirds of the soil is
entirely dry. By this method the up
per roots are nourished, while the lower
roots. which demand water, soon die
and the plant is continually in an IN
healthy condition.
Directly opposite to this is the plan
of overwhelming which many persons
thoughtlessly follow. They water
their plants thoroughly today. To-
morrow they apply the same amount,
and so they go from one day to anoth-
er. The result is that the soil Is kept
saturated with moisture. 1t is In the
dftion that suits only aquatic plants
and one in which the ordinary plant
will soon become diseased.
The stagnant water will sour the
soil. and the roots will begin to decay.
BY and by the plant dies. Either of
the above mentioned methods are
equally destructive to healthy plants.
There is only one right way. When
you water a plant do 1t thoroughly
in fact, be sure every particle Of soil
is wet. Then do not apply any more
until the surface Of the soil is really
dry. As long as the surface of the soil
locks damp you may rest assured that
the rest of 1t contains sufficient mois-
ture. Enough should be given, as
stated above, to completely saturate
all the soil in the pot II proper drain
age Is given all surplus water-that is,
all water that the soil cannot take up
and hold-will run or at the bottom
of the pot through the hole provided
for this purpose. By proper drainage
We mean that something must be
placed in each pot to keep the soil
from washing down and stopping up
the hole.
There should be at least one inch of
drainage placed In all four or five inch
in larger pots. The best material to
use for drainage is old bits OF broken
flower pots or broken bricks. Use
small pieces, not much larger than a
marble. Many people are careless
about this drainage or ignorant as to
its value. but no one can grow plants
successfully without It.
Some reader may ask: How can ]
tell when I have given enough water
to permeate all portions of the soil %
Well, in answer let me say there Is
only one sure way, and that is to notice
the drainage hole in the bottom Of the
pot When we see the water trickling
through that we know IL L. time to
stop.
Some plants have roots that enable
them to make use of much more wa.
ter than others. Then. again. some
soils part with moisture much more
rapidly than others Some rooms are
kept 30 warm that evaporation takes
place rapidly. When all these things
are considered it will be seen that
there can be no regular time for wa

An ideal spot for the tea table when

1t Is always a charming scene. even

the alcohol lamp to the Anal bit Of
lemon or pouring Of cream.

side Of domesticity. and a clever girl
wishing to marry should never lose a
chance to let a desira bic party behold
her making tea-provided she does It

are the best possible accompaniment to
tea. Crispy toast and little cakes come

Toast is often the most agreeable to

Sweet sandwiches are new and may
be made from thin slices Of stale or
rather tough cake, having a layer Of
ground or pounded nuts or nuts
pounded fine in a mortar and held to
the cake by the thinnest possible layer
Of jam, marmalade or Jelly.
A bit Of preserved ginger placed at
intervals on the slices before they are
laid together is delicious. Maraschino
cherries cut In quarters may also be
used.
