Harry Smith was about ready, to
start the game without the mayor,
but at 1920 o'clock his honor peeped
over the grandstand and shouted
I'm ready" With President George
L. Solomon, of the Tigers, he walked
toward his private box where he
sat conversing with friends for sew
eral moments, after which he was
beckoned by Manager Harry Smith
to toe the mound. After exchanging
his derby for a Tiger cap he toed the
rubber and planted the ball over the
pan for strike.

BuTy IN the llghr OF past events, ana

SCI It is reasonable to believe the
third league can travel on its old
steam. Unlike most of the recent So
called winter leagues, the Feds did
not start out last season with top
heavy salary list. They began in a
small way and gradually gained the
respect of the fans, though gate re-
ceipts were not miraculously large.
But the new league secured a foot
hold. 1t used strategy, and before the
older circuits woke up the Feds were
well organized and gathering force.
Critics who at first were disposed to
treat the strangers lightly, gradually
reformed their opinions, and at the
close of last season the Feds were
recognized as an important cog in
the baseball world.
Another baseball war might not be
such a bad idea. It would wake the
magnates up to the duty they owe
the public. The fans, who really sup
port the clubs, would profit, for with
such competition bids would be made
for their attendance.
A war cannot hurt the fan, and it
certainly cannot hurt the game as a
popular sport. We all want baseball,
and we're going to have it. And when
a fan gives up rs cents or dollar for
a seat he wants what he paid for

In prose or verse? In newspapers

A scoIe of people questioned on this
matter might give a score of answers.

There are so many subjects more i'm

What are they?" I asked.
We'll political matters, reforms,

But are these subjects more import

Politics" Webster tells US, lis the
science of government; that part of
ethics which has to do with the regu-
latiOn and government of a nation or
state, the preservation of its safety
peace and prosperity; the augmenta-
ton of its strength and resources, the
protection of its citizens in their
rights, and the preservation and i'm
prOvement of their morals"
Now, upon what foundation does a
nation rest?
Upon its homes.
The moment the home life of a land
is destroyed or undermined. that mo-
ment the degeneration of the nation
begins We have but to glance back
over history to know that And for
what purpose do nations exist? Why
do people form a government, band
together in a country
Merely to establish an order which
they believe win be conducive to happy,
moral, home lffe
So it seems to me when 1 turn my
time and talents to any discussion
which will help men and women to be
better husbands and fathers, wives and
mothers, friends and lovers, that 1 am

The same argument applies to re-
FORM Where does all the true refOr-
nation begin?
1t must begin at home.
The bad husband. the bad father, the
bad friend can never institute a lasting
reform for humanity.
We have too many shining lights in
the political, social and artistic firma-

domestic sky.
Domestic life is the foundation upon
which the world Of society rests.
And without a firm foundation the
most beautiful structure fails
The critic suggested morals as a
topic worthy of discussion in litera-
But what are morals supposed to
make?
Not angels. for angels are presum-
ably already moral.
Good men and women are needed in
the land today more than angels are
needed in Paradise.
And no man can develop qualities
who is a thOughtless son, an indiffer-
ent husband, a misery citizen and
selfish father.
Men and women must begin to be
worthy where they are before they can
be worthy in any other position in life.

kissed while sun and sea were looking

and briny water.
Zarra waited for him every night
when the sky behind Mount MajeIia

By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of SAT Good Old Siwash.s

A CHAUTAUQUA is an institution
"a of learning which uses everyday
= = fresh air instead of college at
mosphere. The first Chautauqua was
founded by one of the first fresh air
cranks. He believed that a series of
lectures delivered in a comfortable
camp would tone down the horrors of
acquiring an education to such a degree
that many middle aged people, who
would be run over and seriously
stepped on if they got on a college
campus, would eagerly soak up learn
ing the popular price of admission.
This proved to be the case and the
original Chautauqua is still attended by
many thousands who live happily by
the lake side at Chautauqua, New York,
during the summer, perfecting them
selves in art, literature, philosophy,
stenography, crOcheting, burntwooding,
brass hammering, basket weaving and
other branches of wisdom.
The Chautauqua has become so pop
ular that 1t now spreads all over the
country like a light rash, beginning in
June and continuing until the nights
cool off. All that is needed to pull off
a Chautauqua is large tent, some pine
seats and plenty of talent" Talent"
