League Promoters Are Meet
ing There This Afternoon to
Decide the Fate of the In
diana-Ohio Circuit.
LOOKS AS THOUGH THE
LEAGUE WOULD BE A GO.
Every Argument Is Being Ad-
vanced as to Why Both An
derson and Muncie Should
Be Made Members.

Anderson, Ind, Feb. 21.-This after
will hold a meeting here for the pur-
pose of deciding once and for all the
future of the organization Despite
the balky actions of Anderson and
Muncie the past ten days, it really
looks as though the league would be a
go. Mart Norton and Dial Williams
of this city, are booming the Anderson
club and they state that Anderson
will be represented in the league. What
Norton says, he generally means. Jack
Grim of indianapolis, a former well
known National league player. is on
hand and he wants the Muncie fran
chise in the event the Shamrocks de-
eide not to take a whirl at league base
ball. Jack would be good man and
he says he has plenty of backing for
the venture. He whispers in your ear
the name of this hacker" and then
makes you promise not to tell-for
awhile yet at least.
Anderson is not a Sunday baseball
week day baseball would not pay here
Right across the tracks from the Pan
handle station the ball park is located
and everybody who has ever been in
Anderson knows that the Panhandle
station is only about four blocks from
the center of town. Ii the games here
would be called about 4 p. H., there is
no reason why all the business could
not take a respite from the chase of
the almighty dollar and attend the
games.
II the Shamrocks turn down the 10.
franchise and Jack Grim gets it, the
plans are to locate a park near the cen
ter of town. The Shamrock park is
located on the extreme outskirts of the
city and is several blocks from a
street car line.

Would Like to Purchase the
Home Telephone Plant in
This or Any Other Indiana
City Now.
COMPANY is AGAINST
CUT-THROAT METHODS.
Thought That the Local Bell
Company Will Either Buy or
Sell Out to the Independent
Home Company Soon.

The Central Union company has at
last come out of the woods and an
nounced that it would like to purchase
the Home Telephone company of this
city-or any other Independent COM
pany in the state which is a competit-
or Of the trust system If the COM
pany can not buy independent lines it
stands ready to sell OUTPUT prefers to
buy. The company is also against the
"rate-smashing, cut-throat method Of
securing business and if it can nei-
Their buy UP independent lines or sell
out to them, it will be perfectly de-
lighted to cooperate with the inue-
pendents. For the past two years the
local Central Union company has made
no effort to increase its business. Be
cause of the Indifferent business meth
DDS displayed by the Bell people in
Richmond. it is the general belief that
in the near future it will either absorb
the Home company or sell out to it.
The officials of the Central Union have
just issued the following statement;
Public Considered.
AT the meeting or local manag-
ers of Central Union offices in the
Second Indiana district, held in the
Office Of J. w. Stickney, Anderson,
ind, the statement was emphasized
that the Bell company is done with
the rate-smashing, cut-throat meth
cd of securing business. 1t is out
to serve the public, it is said, by Civ
ing what is desired and in order the
better to serve the public the Cen
trail Union company is ready to meet
and cooperate with any Independent
line in any way at any place and on
an equitable basis. The toll line
bushes is the patronage most
sought after by Bell companies and
wherever rural or independent lines
desire to connect they Will be met
half way.
The Central Union is for the one
telephone system and is open for ne
Gotiations to buy or sell to bring
about conditions at any time or
place.

Disappointed.

The circus had come to town and
there was tiny boy, not more than
three years old, who was too excited
to eat or sleep, so filled was he with
visions Of the wonders that might be
seen. So his father (who was a big
boy himselD decided to take the baby
TO an afternoon performance, and the
two set off together.
1t was a gorgeous afternoon, and the
two came home with exciting tales Of
the marvels they had beheld. Never
had there been such a show or SUCH
animals. Language was quite inade-
quate to the occasion-it had been a
thing Of pure. golden JOY.
At 6 o'clock the little fellow WIS
having supper, when he suddenly
stopped, hIs mouth tull of porridgv
and the spoon sticking out from il at
defiant angle, and burst into roar,
deafening, heartbroken, and inarticu-
late, the spoon dropping with a cIat-
ter TO the table.
His father was puzzled and asked
various questions as to possible stom-
achache, stray pins. etc. meeting with
no answer whatever. Then he remon-
strated.
why, Jackey," he said, do you
think this is nice of you? Father has
taken you to the circus, and just think
of ali the things you've seen! The
polar bear, and the elephant"
But Jackey's rage at this became
ungovernable, and he found words.

plant wasn't wasn't = half big

Cure for That Tired Feeling.

BY way of ting the mental and
physical discomfort following a trying
day one is surprised by the effective
ness of taking bath and changing all
the clothing. This treatment. in fact,
almost offers a sure cure, but the per-
son who would be most benefited there
by is the person so obsessed to pursue
the miserable tenor of his way that he
scouts the suggestion that he thus be-
stir himself, instead of sinking into an
easy chair. He may, however. accept
the suggestion that simply changing
the shoes and stockings is extremely
restful when reminded that if he had
worn kid gloves all day he would be
relieved to free his hands from the in
cubus. and. If gloves must still be worn
to put on a cool pair
1t is a farther aid TO physical. and
indirectly to mental, comfort If one
can learnt to wear low shoes and the
thinnest underwear the year round; the
former is almost a panacea for fidgets;
the latter lessons the perspiration,
which increases the susceptibility to
drafts and to even moderate lowering
of temperature. The prevailing belief
that this procedure is dangerous is
disproved by the experience of the
many who have given 1t a thorough
trial.-G. l.. Walton, NJ. D., in Lippin-

a Telepatbic Doc.

A New York dog fancier who has
a particularly vivid imagination when
il comes to spinning yarns touching on
the subject of dogology, tells this
one:
II don't know whether there is such
thing as telepathy between dog and
man. but I'm inclined to believe there
is. Let me give you an instance. Re

A shrewd Yankee.

An American farmer, having occa-
sion to engage a man to help him on
the farm, advertised in a local paper.
One morning two applicants appeared.
one decidedly decent-looking fellow,
and the other of a much less prepos-
sessing appearance and manner.
The farmer, after some hesitation
and after scanning the applicants with
a keen eve, chose the latter.
A friend who was present and wit
messed the selection, very much sur
prised at his friends choice, asked:
Has this man ever worked for you
before?"
Why, no." replied the other. IN
fact l never saw either of them until
today"
Why did you choose the shorter
man? The other had much better
face"
Face" exclaimed the proprietor OF
the place in disgust. Let me tell you
that when you pick out a gardener.

cording to the overalls. If they are
patched on the knees you may hire
him. If the patch is on the seat or
the trousers, you don't need him.

Sculptor in a Police Court.

At a recent reception in New York
Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor, was
presented to a well-known society wo-
man. The latter looked at him hest
tatlngly for minute, then said:
Yes, / am certain. | am very glad
TO see you again, Mr.. Borglum."
Il haven't the great pleasure of re-
membering," said the sculptor.
Yes, it was in Los Angeles" said
the woman. land you were the defend
ant in a police court case"
Borglum was fabbergasted, but
managed to stammer out that he was
never in a police court in his life.
Then the woman explained. 1t seems
that Mr.. Borglum, when in Southern
California. owned a magnificent Eng
fish mastiff. The dog was amiable,
but the children of a neighbor were
frightened by its grtat size and so,
one morning the dog'E owner was ar
rested on the charge of allowing a
vicious animal to run at large. The
judge ordered the animal to be brought
in. and the great beast graHely march
ed down the aisle to the bench, and
putting huge paw on the judges
knee, looked solemnly into his face
The case was at once non-suited.

For Thin EyeIashes.

There are many women who are ig-
norantly or perhaps carelessly wander
ing around this world minus their eye
lasnes. If you are one of them, get
busy and make for yourself what ma
tHre has forgotten to make for you.
Eyelashes, to be sure, will grow lon
ger and more beautiful if cut in infan-
cy. but If you begin to cut them when
you are big enough to wear long skihts
and to do your hair up in the latest
fashion you will certainly ruin them.
The growth of the lashes can be in
creased by touching them with castor
oil, Moistened salt will also make
them longer, but be careful not to get
any in the eyes, for it will smart

Associate with the good says an
old proverb, .and you will be es-

The thoughtful girl chooses her friends
carefully and cultivates their society in
such a happy, well-bred way that her
friendships are always source of real

Just as the least blemish <spoils the

that the careless girl makes robs her
character of it's charm, and leaves her
with a name that does not stand for

InsidiOus Heritage Of Young America

IN a trolley the other day was a
Little boy of six or so who was not
Content 10 sit quietly by his mother,
put insisted upon kneeling upon the
seat and looking out of the window at
lhe moving street and people His
Ihother labored with him, trying to
make him understand tt3at she
thought it better for him to sit down
beside her apd watch the prosaic peo-
pie IN the car. But he was determined
ana stayed where he was. Another
argument apparently occurred to the
mother and she whispered something
TO him. something inaudible to the
other passengers. The childs voice
was then heard, incisive and penetrat-
ing:
But why can't / look out of the
window?
His mother remained silent. possibly
searching for reason that should be
convincing. and before she found it,
the boy spoke again this time with
hint of doubt and perplexity in his
voice:
Does it cost more to kneeI up and
look out of the Window
