BAKERS ADVICE TO BOYS

Home Run Baker" the star batter
Of the Philadelphia Athletics. is the
most persistent and consistent dodger
day. With the entire country discuss
ing his baseball achievements, with
writer's and artists searching sea
earth and sky for quaint synonyms for
his very convenient name and rhyme
sters of the press shattering all pre-
cedent in the number of changes they
ring on both names and achievements
Baker himself regards the entire per-
Torrance with a lack-luster eye and
refuses to join in the enthusiasm in
any way.
In brief and prosaic account of his
life, he handed out the following re-
marks that will do all American boys
good to heed:
Il never did drink or smoke If any
youngster wants advice from one who
doesn't mean to preach. there it is
Leave cigarettes or tobacco in any
or at any time. It's the usual advice
and doesn't carry much weight as a
rule, but coming from a ball player
perhaps it may mean little more to
the American kids. There is no rule
about smoking in the big lea que. They
don's care for YOU to smoke in uni
form. though. Some smoke: some don't
touch tobacco. The managers think
the men are old enough to know their
own minds about such things. Mine is
the total abstinence platform for both
booze and tobacco"

JOSEPH PULITZER

The world lost one of its greatest
journalists when Joseph Pulitzer, pro-
prietor of the New York World, died
Sunday on board his yacht Liberty in
the harbor Of Charleston, S. c.
For more than a quarter of a CEN
fury Joseph Pulitzer had been one of
the leading figures in American jour-
nalism. Born in Hungary in 1847 and
educated there, he came to this coun-
try in 1863, enlisted in the union army
and served as a cavalryman until the
end of the war, when he settled in St.
Louis, which was for many years the
scene Of his journalistic activities. His
early newspaper training was as re-
porter and afterwards city editor,
managing editor and part proprietor
of the Westliche Post. edited by Carl
Schurz. He bought the st. Louis Dis
patch in 1873 and united it with the
Post as the Post-Dispatch, which, un-
der his management, became in a few
years one of the best known and most
widely circulated journals of the sec
ton.
Mr.. Pu1itZer's entry into New York
journalism occurred in 1883, when he
bought the World, then a paper OF
small circulation. It's circulation and
prestige grew rapidly under his gen
eral direction. A building to house it
which he erected in 1890 on Park Row
was. until overtopped by the skyscrap-
ers of later years, one of the most
striking of New York office buildings
Mr.. Pulitzer's sight began to fail ir
the late eighties, and after a time he
became blind. Ever since he has beer
partial invalid, but up to the last
had kept general supervision over his
newspaper properties in New York
and St. Louis, and had taken pronounc-
ed interest in civic affairs. Much OF
his wealth has been given for educa
tiOnal purposes. He donated $1,000, 90,
to Columbia College to establish ant
maintain college of journalism and
established scholarships in that inst
tuition for deserving boy graduates o.
New York public schools.
During his residence in Missouri Mr.
Pulitzer served a member of tn.
legislature, and was a delegate from
that state to the democratic nationa
convention in 1880. He was elected Il
the Forty-ninth Congress from a New
York district, but resigned after
months service.

GOING TO BE DONE IN GOOD SHAPE

Messrs. 3. N Dosh and Q. f. Pea
cock of the Star office have. secured
the contract to Issue a racing program
for the Marion County Fair this year.
This is a very important publica-
ton; and one that is always eagerly
sought after. During previous years
of the fair. it has been issued in very
unelaborate and imperfect shape, be-
cause the fair management have al
ways had their hands full with other
matters, and the inadequate number Of
copies have always been sold out be-
fore the public had half enough,
whereas this year the program will be
placed into the hands Of every person
attending the races without charge.
Messrs. Dosh and Peacock intend to
profit by the deficiencies Of past years
and issue a publication worthy of the
occasion. They are getting up a neat
eightpage pamphlet, which Will not
only have accurate information ar
ranged in the most convenient form,
but will contain much other valua bic
data. They are both skilled printers,
and that they are doing all the work
themselves Is a guarantee of its merit.
Several thousand of these programs
will be issued each day, to be printed
on white paper for the first day, and
on yellow, pink and green, separate
color for each of the following days.
The programs will be distributed free
to the crowds at the fair grounds. and
il is only necessary to remember how
eagerly they have been sought after
in past years to realize what an i'm
portant publication it will be
Messrs. Dosh and Peacock are de-
pending on the advertising they can
secure to remunerate them for the
trouble and expense of getting up the
program. 1t is a good proposition for
any advertiser. for they will set and
arrange the advertisements them
selves, print from 10 to IA thousand
copies and put them in the hands of
the people. They have already secured
advertising contracts for large
amount Of their space, and it will pay
anyone to give their proposition a
prompt and favorable consideration.

GOV. WILSON'S FAVORITE HYMN

of this poetical decision When. some
time ago, DR.. Woodrow Wilson paused
in the midst of his numerous labors
long enough to tell a hope1essly be-
nighted world that its cherished
hymns of childhood were punk, or
words to that effect, many suspected
that he was lacking in appreciation
and didn't know a good tune when he
heard one. But there were no good
grounds for this suspicion. Gov Will
son loves music. He fairly revels in It,
but it must be good music to gain his
approbatio and such silly songs as

Why Buy Indigestion?

If you knew how much lard your
grocer sells couldn't you tell pretty we'll
how much indigestion there is in the
neighborhood? Lard is made from hog
fat and is often indigestible 1t is heav-
Ter in your stomach than on the scales
Buy Cottolene, however, and you get a
vegetable-oil cooking fat that is as pure
and wholesome as olive OIL Besides,
Cottolene is more economical than but

quired.
Remember, Cottolene contains no hog
fat: there's no lard indigestion in food
cooked With Cottolene.
