The Paragraph, punished al
Wagon Mound. New Mexico, comes
10 us this week with a full page ad-
veltisement of the drug store owned
by Henry Swain, former Ardmore
boy. Mr. Swain in addition to his
stock of holiday goods, has a full
line of holiday goods and he uses
the press of his town to tell the
people of what he has. Drug stores
do not usually use that quantity of
space, but after the holidays Mr.
Swain will say that he received good
results. Advertising that touches
the spot pays a big dividend. Con
gratulations to the progressive drug
gist of New Mexico. ,

in this city when the stores closed

ent that today will be a repetition
of what Yesterday was.

evidence on the streets of the city
today, caused by the edict that all
shipments of booze in the express
office be shipped back and their
chances for Christmas eggnog is
thereby shattered. The local ticket
office is doing rushing business in
and it is thought that every person
who goes there purchases besides
his ticket as much as a schooner Of
beer Verify this edict is a good
thing for the railroads.

As the opening of the Ohio state
League is but a few hours away 1t Is
well for the fans to realize what the
directors of the Marion club have
had TO contend with for the last four
years. 1t has been proven by past
experience that It costs from $4,000
To $4,000 yearly to run base ball
club in the small minor league. Two
club were personally obligated Cor
5000 but for the fortunate sale Of
Red Farrell, Zmlch and few other
players they have been able to cut
that debt to a very small amount at
the present time.
y This spring they start with better
prospects than ever before, having
raised a subscription OF about $1,500
hut this will he about wiped out
: when the umpire cries play ball for
the opening game At least $1,000
more is needed to put the club on a
firm business basis for the entire sea-
son. Very few fans know or realize
what 1t costs TO start the season. A
deposit of $3.50 must be made with
the treasurer of the league. Monthly
assessments of $3.50 are paid to help
pay running expenses, salaries Of
league officials, umpires, etc.
Training expenses is a big item. for
the club must furnish transportation
and hotel for from eighteen to TWEEN
ty-four players at least two weeks.
Last year It cost the Marion club
byer $500, but this year 1t should not
he so much as we have had fewer
players report than ever before
The grounds must be in shape for
practice by the time the players ar
rive, hence the ground keeper and
a force of men with teams, etc. must
begin work a week or two before,
players do not begin drawing their
salary until the da ythe season opens
with the single exception of Manager
goe Lewis whose salary starts April
list but his hardest work Is before
the season starts In picking out his
players to make up the team which
eventually strives to put Marion In
the running for the top notch. The
two sets OF uniforms with the sweat
er coats together with balls and other
paraphernalia which must be fur
nlshed win cost not less than $500
, II can readily he seen what VIII be-
come of the $1,000 already raised
this spring and that more must b'
raised in order to keep in good stand
ing and meet all salaries when pay
day rolls around.
1T Is to be hoped that the fans o.

first call was sounded will wake NJ
now and subscribe 40 a cause 81
