ABANDON
OF BALL PLAYERS
DO Not Work a. They should and
Lose Chances for Improve
ment.

Some day a man will break into
baseball who will revolutionize the
game. He viii tear down the hive Of
luxury and ease In which. at the pres
cut time. the major leaguers Toll in
careless abandon, drive out all the
drones and bring about a new era In
the great American sport that will
perfect a system Of play deemed inn
possible i'm the past. He viii be des-
pissed and hated He may even be
hanished from the game before his
mission o. complete, but he will have
begun q reformation that all viii fol-
low.
This idea was conceived upon watch
ing "a theatrical company rchearsiug

man who was drilling that company

of his players perfected or IL would

put ia by those actors would have
driven many a ban player to distrac-
tlon one man. a leading man. too,

acting producer.
NO REHEARSAL
Is there ball player in the ma ior
league today who would slide 10 sec
ond fifty times in one mornings prac-
tise Just TO get the form Of that action
exactly as the manager wanted II?
Baseball has grown into such promi-
nouce with the American public that II
cannot much longer carry the fans
along on tradition. n must be invcn-
tive. II must progress. Old fans VIII

OBITUARY.
GRACE GERTRUDE CLARK.


Grace Gertrude, wife of Amos B.
Clark, and the youngest daughter OF
Daniel and Mary E. Jones, passed
away very suddenly in Brighton at
the home of her aged parents, April
3 She lived with her parents and
cared for them, and her death brought
deep grief to them ais well as to her
other relatives and friends in Brigh-
ton and Skowhegan. She was thirty
five years of age at the time of her
death. She was happily married to
Amos Clark, April "a, 1899, and her
leaving comes with crushing blow
to him and her parents, her father
being eighty-six years of age.
Three weeks previous to her death
she was taken suddenly i'll at the
home of her aunt where she was call
ing. She became unconscious for a
time, but rallied from this coma so
that she was soon able with her
mothers aid to attend to her house
hold duties. She made plans for the
summer, and even talked about her
plants and flower gardens, but, fear
ing that she might not recover she
told her husband some of the things
she wished done In case her illness
took her away. April she ate her
dinner and retired to her room. Her
husband sat for a while by her side.
and when she seemed to be sleeping
quietly went out to attend to his own
work. few minutes later her moth
err heard a sound that seemed to
come from one in distress, and hur-
ried to her side only to find her
breathing her last.
She was a member of Brighton
Grange where she will be missed fol
months to come. She had many kind
friends and was herself kind and
tender hearted to her parents, sisters
and friends Besides the husband
and parents she is survived by one
brother, Willard Jones of Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, and five sisters, Mrs
Charles Huff, Athens, Me-; Mrs. E. II

Why does Great Britain buv
Its oatmeal of US?

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands OF cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods OF
manufacture 50 that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at glance At the export re-
ports on Quaker Oxts. This brand is
without rival; is packed in regular
l0c packages, and in large size family
packages at DC 81
