 GREATER SALARY.

President Baugh returned yesterday from Little Rock and speaks in eulo- gistic terms of the entertainment of the league directors in that city.
 At the meeting of the directors. IS The Age-Herald stated Sunday, the originally proposed schedule was adopted. That schedule was printed in The AgeHerald last week.
 Other than the adoption of the schedule, little was done by the diree tors. However, President Kavanaugh took the visitors to Hot Springs. ban quetted them, praised them. and made them enjoy their stay immensely.
 President Baugh states that he learned that every club was having trouble with the players, who were de- manding increase in salaries. He stated too,. that every director present wanted to turn over to him some play er either an outfielder or an inielder. As far as known, however, no deal was made by the local club during the meet ing of directors. President Kuhn of Nashville intimated to MT. Baugh that Doc" Wiseman could be bought, but no deal is pending. Henline of Mont gomery will undoubtedly fill the va cancy made by Carlos Smith. Fred Houtz, bought from Montgomery, re- turned his contract unsigned yester- day. He wants $25 more than he drew last season.

When One Spends Money.

One would think that money would be saved in prosperous times when there is plenty of it about. But no, that is not the time when it is saved. It is then that it is spent, says the March Appleton's. Everybody spends it-governments, rail- roads, corporations, capitalists, house. keepers, house builders, collectors. Peo- pie expand their wants in such times, and satisfy some of them, and then is when 1t is most of all impossible to live on any thing year. But after all the money has been spent a few times over and has be- gun to be scarce, and borrowing has come to be a serious matter, and folks have much less to spend and no expecta- tions; then everybody groans and begins to save, not only trying desperately to squeeze back inside of the bounds of in come, but to pay back what was spent in expectation of time when saving would have become convenient.
 To most of us that time never comes. And yet there are things for which we spend more than we can afford. that really do justify our expenditures. so that after the money has been spent and we are pinched for the lack of it. we would still rather have what it bought than have the money back.
