THOUSANDS SPENT
FOR YOUNG STARS
Two Major Leagues Expend
Large Sums in Secur-
in New Players.

Chicago. Feb. 15.-Close To $500. 900
has been spent by the two major lea
cues for new players TO he tried out
he coming spring. This is $4,000
less tina last year. but restrictions
have been placed on the his league
clubs by the national commission rules
limiting the number of players that
may be carried on the list at any time.
The report of the national commission
Just issued is authority for the state.
nent that the American league has
paid IL more money for young play
ers the last year than the National
league. This was the case also last
year.
The young league has paid out for
purchased and drafted players during
the last season s1S2.550. and the Ma
tional league owners expended for the
same purpose s126.SO0. Additional
amounts to be paid out by the two
total s93.250. OF this amount the Ma
tional league is to pay s-a.35O and the
American league $4,000.
american Gets the Youngsters.
The American league paid about
players than did the National league.
This would indicate that the American
league scouts picked up the cream of
the 1912 crop of youngsters in the
minor leagues. according to the prices
put upon the players. The players
disposed Of by private sale prior to
the drafting period are supposed to be
the pick Of the small leagues.
The Chicago White Sox club stands
to pay out more money than any club
In the country for purchased players.
President Comiskey already has signed
checks to the amount Of $4,000 for
players he purchased last summer and
fall and he still has $4,000 to pay in
ease the players he bought make good
this spring. This will make $4,000
paid out by the south side club for
purchased players alone.
In addition to this $3.50
was paid out for drafted players.
bringing the grand total to s41.05O

1918 team.
The Detroit club paid out more cash
money last fall for players than did
the White Sox by a small margin. but
the amount of money to he paid out
this coming spring in case the players
make good is not quite SO large as that
of the White Sox club.
Tigers Invest Large Sums.
President Navin Of the Tigers
bought s33,35O worth of players alto
gether and paid down $25.l0O last fall
for the players. with the agreement
that he would pay $3.50 more this
spring If all the players make good.
In the National league the Pittsburs
club paid the most money for new
players. A total of 10000 has been
expended by Barney Dreyfuss for the
Pirates n $4,000 Of that amount
was paid down m $4,000 more is to

ever. for he signed more checks at

chased players. made a total of s16,-
$50 the Chicago league ball club paid

Parts of the
Same Thing
By COL. ELI F. RITTER
of the indianapolis Bar,

A strong, forceful, and timely
book, setting forth the true rela-
ton of morality to civil law. The
author says:
AS morality and moral character are
terms in very prominent and constant use
In judicial proceedings, they must have
some definite meaning, and there must be
some way OF determining definitely what
they do mean. The purpose of this book
is to aid in settling these questions. If
can succeed in calling attention to. and aid
in, the correction of errors in the compre-
hension and application of this term, and
AID in arousing aid in support of morality

Drys Win Out at Ottumwa,
Iowa
Iowa

Ottu,nwa, Iowa, February.-In the
district court of Ottumwa the saloon
petition was decided insufficient by
twenty-three signatures. The case
was tried before Judge D. M. Ander
son, the latter part of January and he
made his decision public Feb. 10.
The court sustained eighteen ind1-
vidual challenges, counted out sixty
four names secured by L. A. Merger
son, on the ground that he was not
reputable, and held 2o4 Withdrawals
to be lawful. The saloon petition had
apparent majority of 353 when filed
on Dec. Is. The drys reduced this
majority 376 making the petition in
sufficient by twenty-three signatures.
Ottumwa has been dry since July
1911. This is the second petition held
insufficient in court since that time.
Judge Anderson held that names on
the petitions of men who died since
the statement was filed or who had
removed from the city, should be
counted. He held that where names
on the petition and the poll books
differed only slightly as to the final
name, such as Douglass and Dough-
lass, the signature should count.
The appeal of the vets will be
based on the ruling as to Merger
sons character. 1t is claimed that
the acts complained of transpired
after the petition was circulated and
that more overacts were not sufficient
to destroy his reputation.

What is the Use of
Advertising?
Y6

What is the use of advertising,
anyhow? Is it of any real benefit
and service to the world? Is there
any sound principle underlying all
this expenditure on paper and print
er's ink?
There IS sound principle under
it all. Advertising is one of the
greatest forces of our modern
world, because it is founded on the
great principle of SERVICE. These
advertisers do not spend their thou
sands of dollars every year just for
the fun of seeing their names in
print. They advertise because that
is the only way they can tell you
about their products, and their ad
vertisements are worth reading be-
cause they can be of real service to
you. Furthermore, those firms that
keep their advertisements before
you year after year, must be living
up to their guarantee-must be
giving you real value for your
money. They couldn't make such
claims, year after year.. and not
back them up.
What's the logical thing for you
to do? Buy goods that are adver-
tised steadily. We have advertisers
who have been staying with us

What Others Say of the Book.
Judge Noah Davis, formerly of
the New York supreme court, saws:

L have preached and tried to practice for
many years both on and off the bench the
great truth SO well expressed in YOUR title
Tor nothing can be truer than that Moral
Law and Civil Law are parts of the same
thing" Yet, l must say that. in no hooL
or paper, or published document or judicial
opinion have seen that simple axiom so
wen expressed, so clearly defined and so
admirably proved as in your book. The
strength OF your argument lies in its clear
ness and simplicity, and no man can read
1t without being convinced of its truth and
Ssoundness. The strength of all human law
hes IN its morality, lacking that it has no
Just element of force and is therefore no
law. Law commands what is right and for
Dlds what is wrong, and when it undertakes
to declare that what is wrong is right and
lawful, the attempt fails and the right pre-

Richepin Uses Tango
As Lecture Subject

PARIS. Nov. 5-The tango has en-
joyed the supreme distinction of being
the subject of a lecture by the poet
Jean Richepip, who spoke on the dance
at the institute. Seats were never so
much in demand. The subject savored
of lghtness. but the classical surround
ings elevated 1t to a plane of elegant in
tellectuality. M. Richepin alluded to the
satisfying mathematics of the tango"
AS far as the Parisians are con-
cerned, the tango has now received the
''palmes academiques.' 1t was noted
that there were no illusions to the
''lime juice wallow'' or the "wriggly
wornn.'' The turket trot was touched
on merely as dark dream of the past.
