Here Is a tip which looks pretty
good to those who profess to be
hep to current events in American
league circles.
The tip Is that Fielder Jones, the
man who made the Chicago White
Sox one of ~the greatest baseball
machines the game has ever known,
will return to the Sox next season.
Jones resigned from the White Sox
a year ago last winter and went
into the lumber business in Oregon.
He remained out Of the game all
last season, but this year has signed
to play with the Chehalis, Ore,
semi-professional team.
In Chicago they believe that
Jones is merely working out with
the small team to see II he is still
good, and that II the great out
fielder and leader finds he can still
play the game as he did up to two
seasons ago, that he will return to
the Sox.
After Jones left the team Billy
Sullivan essayed the job of plotting

Are You Considering the
Player-Piano Question?

Let us show your our instru-
ments and tell you of their merits.
Although we have one make of
Player-Piano that we consider by
all means the worlds best, yet we
don't limit your choice to one
make. We show you side by side
the largest assortment of well
known makes in the city.
Our statesmen do not use merely
talking points," but they demon
strate and compare from scienti-
fic standpoint the merits of each
player.
We have in the Auto-piano one
that can be sold for less than any
other strictly high-grade player
piano on the market, In fact, we
sell it $3.50 to 5000 less than other
player pianos of the same value are
sold elsewhere.
The secret of this reasonable
price Is that we control the entire
Western America agency and sell
a great many--two thousand have
been sold by US in the State of
California alone.
The Auto-piano is simple, artistic,
complete. durable and inexpensive.
1t will pay you to see 1t If you
are going to buy, also to hear the
famous Krell-Autogrand.
We sell these instruments on the
regular easy payment plan and ac-
cept old instruments in exchange.

Jones surprised the baseball
world when he took the White Sox
and beat the all powerful Cubs out
of a worlds championship. He had
no heavy hitters on his team-in
fact, the Sox were known as the
"hitless wonders"-but he had the
knack of inspiring his men with the
ability Of never knowing when they
were licked, and he was one of the
hardest fighters the national pas

safe betting that If Fielder wishes

of soldier, with his pitchfork at

down to the house of Charles Mack,

that morning, and started with all
speed for his own home, where he ar
rived just before dark. His children
were gone, his house ransacked, nearly
everything broken or destroyed, and in

house was the dead body of Charles
Mack. BY this time darkness had set

two miles to the house of Jesse Thomas

across the prairie for that place. When
about one half the distance had been
made, his pony looked sharply to one

looked sharply through the semi dark

mounted, the remainder ON foot. MIR.
Hindman put whip and spur to his

President of Class Speaks.
Miss Elna MIazahn, president of the
class, spoke on The Advancement Of
Education Along the Line of School
Gardening She spoke of the change
of public sentiment toward this work.
People are comm. to realize that the
hand must be trained as well as the
brain, and that the child upon whom
the responsibility of advancing the ac-
;ivities by which society is sustained
should receive an industrial training.
The school garden furnishes one means
of working. out this problem. Til
movement has spread very rapidly in
the United States, until now school
gardens are to be found in hundreds
of towns and cities. In this state the
last legislature gave $4,000 to be
divided among ten high schools Tor the
advancement of this work. Albert Lea
and Candy are notable examples.
The functions of the school garden
are many.
Child AwakenS to Possibilities.
The child is awakened to the posi-
bilities and resources of life and ma
ture. He comes to see the need of
labor: The relation Of labor to life;
the r,,a. iun ~ - ia'iyiiual to soci,
ETY.; and the possible joy in labor for
himself and others. And above all the
children enjoy it. The child grows i'll
a feeling of power, independence and
self respect. He learns that in his
garden as in ,lfe he must fight the
bad and cultivate the good "He must
show in miniature the promise of the
coming man"
President Cooper closed the exercises
with a few kindly words of advice
and wish for success. He expressed
his appreciation of the work done by
the class, while, here and his confidence
that each member of the class as he
went out to take up his work would
do it in such a way that he would
be an honor and credit to his Alma
Mater.
