Club Men Present

Bradley J. Saunders. vice president and general manager of the Roebuck develop ment; Webb Crawford, who is interested in the work there; Ross c. Smith, A. l.. Fulenwider and other prominent men ar- tached to the RoebuclS work explained the various good points of the proposition to q like array of officials connected with the Athletic club, including Solon H. Jacobs, the newly reelected president; W. D. Nesbitt and others.
 The sentiment seems to prevail that the Athletic club will handle some deal whereby out of town quarters will be &C., qulred at a very early time.
 The properties at Roebuck are at- tractive. The bath house and lock rooms. designed by William Weston, the we'll known architect of this city, overlook a swimming pool situated outside under the blue. The swimming pool is fed by three springs and in addition an auxiliary sup ply of water is pumped Into the pool from tank located on the hill. The club house proper has not yet been completed but as it was located by George Miller, the noted landscape architect, it's location will be uroper

 ROEbUCK SPRINGS Deal Discussed at Barbecue
 Yesterday WAS BIG ATTENDANCE Stated That Athletic Club Must Se- cure Some Out-of- Door Grounds to Accommodate the Fastly
 Growing Membership
WAS BIG ATTENDANCE

That the Athletic club of Birmingham would be given an opportunity to secure Roebuck Springs Golf and Country club before the former closes up any purchase for outdoor grounds was evidenced yes terday when q barbecue was held at Roe buck which was attended by various of- fcials of the Roebuck Athletic club. The proposition of taking over the RoebuclS club was freely discussed at the barbecue by officials of the two clubs. Although the general idea prevailed that the Ath- letic club had been invited to look the over. no official announcement was made by either the officials for the Athletic or Roebuck clubs.
 Ii is said to be imperative that the new administration of the Athletic club will secure some out of doors grounds for the rapidly growing membership. The Athletic club has been offered the Edgewood club grounds, but 1t is said that that proposi- tion has been practically abandoned.

their support for Governor Shafroth tu

We request your closest attention to
our manner of securing increases in
salaries tor our employees and to our
manner of allowing them to draw
eight times the amount of wages to
which they are entitled under the stat
utes. To illustrates: We permitted
our labor commissioner to resign and
be reappointed in order to secure the
benefits of an increased salary for
that position. Also. through a "damD-
ed technicality'' our OIL inspector
draws $1,000 per year when the law
says he can draw only $l,7O0 Such
high financlering for the benefit OF
our workers should commend itself to

NOT LUCK, BUT PLUCK

At first thought the following Incl
dent seems to favor the believer IN
luck. but there was no luck about it
lust n reward for intelligent work:
An Indiana man, on a rented farm,
won the $1,000 trophy prize at the
National Corn Show at Omaha, for the
most perfect ear of corn. Sixteen
wears ago this man, Fred C. Palm,
then a travelling grocery salesman, left
the road to become a farmer. He was
not a Young man, but he first took
several special short courses at Purdue
University, then rented part of a $50
acre farm on which he is still a tenant.
new variety of corn which produced
the champion ear. Mr.. Palm has for
years been regarded as one of the lead
ing corn experts and his services have
been in great demand as a judge of
corn exhibits. At first glance he rec
ognized his ear of corn as a prize
winner and showed 1t to ms nelghbors
as the ear which he was sure would
win the 81 900 trophy. 1t was sixteen
years of study and intelligent work,
not luck, that brought him the prize.
1t recalls the story of man being
called upon for a few remarks on an
important subject and he made the
speech of the occasion. How was it
possible for you to make such
speech without moments prepara-
tion?' asked a friend. "You are mis-.
taken, l have been preparing for that
speech for twenty years. Probably
ninety-nine farmers out of every hun
dred would have thrown the ear to the

A. ]. DICKSON, Editor and Proprietor
BISHOP SHEPPARD IN GLENwooD

You may have heard something
about entertaining angels unawares, but
Rev Klein of the Methodist church
came near entertaining a bishop una
wares last Sunday morning.
During the session of the Sunday
school a scholarly looking gentleman
entered the church and seated himself
where he could have a good view of
all that transpired in the room. The
superintendent approached and intro
duced himself and was told that the
stranger was passing through the city
and would be here only for the day.
Later Mr.. Klein approached and
greeted the stranger, giving his name
and receiving the reply, "My name is
Sheppard. l was passing through YOU
city and thought l would drop in and
worship with YOU today When asked
where he was from he said rather
adroitly that he had lived in Chicago,
but that he really had no home and eX-
pected to travel great deal in tins
future.
After welcoming the visitor to his
church Mr.. Klein left him, but after
comparing his features with the half
tone likeness printed in the church pa
pers he returned to the stranger and
said, "Pardon me, but aren t you
Bishop Sheppard:' Confronted with
the direct inquiry the stranger CON
fessed that he was one of the newly ap
pointed bishops of the Methodist
church and that he was then on his
way to Nevada to hold his first con
ference.
Although he had planned to rest dur
ing the day and had tried to disguise
himself that he might avoid beng
asked to preach, he yielded to MI
Klein urgent request to occupy the
pulpit and gave the large congregation
a masterful sermon on "Life.' Th1i
was one of the most powerful sermons
ever heard from Glenwood pulpi
and it was considered as great trea
by the audience.

SOCIALISTS NAME A TICKET

The socialists of Garfield county
met at the court house last Saturday
and designated "A county ticket which
the members of that party will be ask
ed to vote at the general election in
November
Under the new primary law only
those parties which at the last pre-
cediug election east ten per cent of the
entire vote are entitled to have their
assembly ticket placed upon the pri-
mary ballot and the Garfield county
socialists cannot come under that dcs-
ignation. As they named their ticket
on the last day allowed by law for get
ting on the primary ballot by petitioa
and made no effort to file petition
their ticket will not go on the primary
ballot by the petition route.
However, since only one name was
suggested for each office it is not i'm
portant that the names 60 on the pr-
mary ballot and the loyal socialists will
be asked on election day in November
to remember the designations of last
Saturday and vote for the choice of
their convention or assembly.

POWER OF THE NEWSPAPER

In the original Scribner's Magazine
April, 1871, j. G. Holland wrote an
editorial on the temperance question
which reads like prophecy today. After
stating that most of the Temperance
laws were passed at the urgent de
mands of appointed champions of
the temperance reform, when the legis-
lators knew they were impraeticable;
when editors who undertook to discuss
the question independently We're snub-
bed and maligned until they dropped
the question in disgust. he says; "We
have no question that the press OF
America, fully discharging its duty as
censor, enlightener, and educator of
the people, can do more to make the
nation temperate in five years than all
the temperance laws, lecturers, and
organizations have been able to effect
in twenty-five years. Is it not true,
today, that not one newspaper in TWEEN
ty-five, the country through, manifests
a positive interest in the temperance
question:" "The press, independent
ly, must take this question in hand.
and educate the people to Temperance.
The press can do what it will
The press has taken up the question,
and it is no longer fashionable to
drink. Wine is no longer the rule at
banquets. The country newspapers, in
the west at least, are practically all
outspoken in opposition to the liquor
traffic, and its influence is all that NJ.
Holland predicted it could be.

CHILD KILLS BABY
BROTHER WITH RIFLE

Lloyd johnson. q months old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Noah johnson of Ruli

THE -FOUR HUNDRED

Mrs. Julius kruttschnitt. wife of the
great railroad manager, who has gone
with her husband from Chicago to
New York to live, has little sympathy
with the "4OO' in New Yorl, or else
where. She says:
Smart set society is, generally
speaking, the society of those who
yawn-bored to distraction. 1t has
neither impetus to 90 on nor ambition
enough to cease. 1t is and this is the
beginning and the end of it. The
smart set worth while is smart ,
used in its older and purer Anglo Sax
on meaning.
Society in the restricted sense,
doesn t interest me. 1t bores me. What
| term the higher social life is that
confined to small circles of intellect
ually congenial persons-persons with
some pursuit, some specific interest, 1t
may be art in some form; it NAV b..
science; it may be business; it NAV he
housekeeping, but it must be some
thing
NO woman can be satisfied with a
purely social life if that woman is at
all worth while in the world. The de.
mands of any social leader are great.
to be sure, but no woman has a right
to sacrifice her entire life to society
If | had the bringing up of family
of girls there would be no formal de-
butts. They should be brought up to
interest themselves in whatever trend
their thought and inclination took
them
