A BASEBALL SERMON.
Spokane Preacher Uses Lingo of the
Diamond in His Sermon.

Spokane, Wash. April 26.--Rev.
William j. Hindley, minister Of the
gospel and fan, preached a baseball
sermon TO his flock in Pilgrim Con-
grega tonal church at the opening of
the league season in Spokane, speak
ing of life as confirmed rooter
would expound the rules of the
game. He talked of the battery,
fieders, basemen, coaches, umpire
and the man at the bat, saying
among other things:
For the sake of the team and Tor
the sake OF the. game, stand up to
the plate. If you can't line out a
home run, maybe you can drop
Texas Lacquer back of second that
will do almost as much good, But
bend every effort to meet the ball
and not to fan out when there are
men on the bases waiting to score.
There may be two or three men
on bases, with two men out and two
strikes against the batsman In the
last half of the ninth. You've seen
the situation right here In Spokane.
Your hit which may seem small
thing in itself, will mean victory for
some one. while your failure to
connect with the ball results In de-
feat for the others as well. Fight
until the last man Is out; God Al
mighty doesn't like gutter,
Il am a patron of baseball be-
cause like the game, because 1t af-
fords relief from the nerve-racking
tension OF business and because we
have no American sport that Is SO
absolutely free from faint. II It Is to
be kept clean the good people must
line up In front of the gate, and
those In charge must be made to see
that they have to reckon with the
better class.
''lf there Is any man in the world
who has my entire sympathy 1t is
the umpire, lie Is ostracized by the
players and regarded with suspicion
by the publc-and, ] think, unjust
ly. believe he deserves more con-
sideration, because he Is on top OF
the play all the time and knows
what's going on every minute OF the
game"

advertising may either make or
break a business" said Mr.. Parker.
Its judicious use means success,
while misapplication or the failure to
use it means failure. The newspaper
is the most potent factor In national
progress today, and the business man,
II he would succeed, must learn to take
advantage oft.
THE newspaper Is the Bible In many
American homes. Il saw the paper is
a common term, and the people have
come to believe that since they saw it
in the paper 1t is true.
"The time will come when the great
commercial battles will be fought
through the advertising columns OF
the daily papers.
1.-The advertising columns are to
many more than the news columns.
The house wife In search OF q bargain
is daily paper reader of the advertis-
ing columns To her 10 cent saving

nation OF car or the abdication of an

usually controls the purse strings,
that the advertiser talks.
ut Is not necessary to say that news
paper advertising is more productive
than any other class. To be sure, the
man with q product that is know0
nationally will find 1t OF benefit to ad.
vertise In periodicals, but the mer-
chant who is known only locally must
advertise in the newspapers.

Choosing Military Camp Site
For Soldiers

Richmond Journal The State
Military Board should very care
fully consider the various PROPOSE
tions looking to the establishment
of permanent military camp and
rifle range.
No decision bse yet been reach
ed, and it is to BE- hoped that III
action will be taken hastily.
One essential point Is the matter
of location. The camp will be
used by the military of the whole
State, and the convenience and
comfort of the men will be served
by the choice of q somewhat GEN.
trally located site.
At the present time, Goshen, up
in the mountains, and Virginia
Beach, at the extreme eastern bcr-
DER OF t3e otate, appear 90 DC rival
contestants.
The Goshen, or any other SINH
lar site, in our opinion, would be
preferable to the site at Virginia
Beach, or other territory contigu.
Gus thereto.
An advantage in favor OF the
Goshen site, that might be lost
sight Of, is the absence of seduc-
tive amusement resorts. At Vir-
glnia Beach temptations on every
hand would greet the men and
divert their attention from the
serious objects of the encampnent.
As between Goshen and Virgin
10 Beach, the former strikes US as
preferable.

The Record Wins With the News

The Record Wins With the News
The Philadelphia Record, now
entering upon the fortleth year of
its acquaintancsship with the
world, seems to have won it's great
prestige by q stubborn refusal to
be dragged away from the simplest
principle of journalism. Strange
as it may seem in these days of
vari.colored emanations from the
printing press, The Record has
never been abe to disabuse itself
of the notion that the main duty
of newspaper is to print the
news.
From it's famous first page, which
10 patterned after by newspapers
throughout the land, to the last
line of it's last page, The Record is
always chock full Of news-just
simply news. Not coutent to
carry the service OF the Associated
Press. which 1t prints more fully
than any other Philadelphia paper,
The Record is recognized by Ger.
respondents all over Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Delaware and Mary.
LAND as the best buyer of special
news dispatches in the State OF
Pennsylvania. Without trench
ing upon the field of small
neigh borhood newspapers, it car
ries fuller service Of country side
news than any other Journal in the
field. And its country side news,
as we'll as its dispatches from afar,
has the virtue of being reliable.
