n HICAGO, Feb. 7.-Clarence
I C'Brick"D Owens, one Of the
handiest two-fsted umpires
who ever slipped a cog in an indica-
tor and who was just as ready with
his tongue as he was with his fists,
is timid.
You don't believe it? It's difficult
Of belief. Yet it is a fact. Otherwise
Owens name would have been at the
bottom of a Federal League contract.
And he would have been on an outlaw
pay roll at $475 a month instead of
receiving pay from the International
at the rate of $500 every 80 days.
1t was just downright timidity that
cost Clarence this sum of money. And
we're sorry. Because Clarence's re-
torts will be missed.
Owen Capable Judge.
Owens, 1t will be remembered, was
formerly an imp in the National
League. He was a corker, too. He
could take care of himself in any kind
of an emergency, whether it was of
the physical or verbal brand On top
of that he could sec a play and had
the happy FACULTY OF being right where
the ump should be. But he got IN
wrong with the powers that be ana
he was let out. Then he went to the
International He was just as sue
cessful there, and he was one of the
best when the first cry OF the FED
eral League was heard.
Well, Brick had been given taste
Of baseball in Chicago and the really
big towns and he wanted regular
meal So he firted with President
Gilmore, and one fine day a contract
was sent to him at Kansas City.
1t called for S475 per month. About
the same time one arrived from Ed
Barrows president of the Internation-
al. and this provided that owens
shouId go on the nav roll at 5000 per.

Association Veteran
Slipping to Minors

KANSAS CITY, Feb. THE sea-
son of 1914 probably will mark the
passing of one of the few American
association veterans.
Otto George Williams has been
a pastimer in the association for
eight years. Seven of these years he
was with Indianapolis. Last season
he was member of the Kansas City
club. Williams played second for the
Blues until the latter part of the sea
son, when Morris Rath came to the
club.
Rath, a finished product around
second, will play second for the Blues
next summer, so Williams will not
be needed Every club in the league
waived Otto last fall, so they prob
ably viii pass him up this season.

Owens Game on Field
Lacks Nerve to Join the Feds

ems person was one of the quickest on
the retore that you ever heard
The Cubs were playing the Giants
on the West Side one afternoon when
he was in the National League. John

hooked the bag with fine toe, and
everybody In the stand thought he
was safe.
Game on Field.
out" howled owens.
Evers was on top of him in a
minute. You could have heard his
cry Of rage If you had been standing
in the clubhouse door. 81 wasn't out, "
howled Evers He missed me that
far"
Johnny spread his hands to indt-
cate that Doyle had missed him by
foot and a half.
We'll, what are you telling me
about it for?" demanded Brick There
wasn't the trace Of a smile on his
face. You don't expect me to change
my decision, do yOu?"
What did Overs retort? Nothing.
He was silent. Come to think of 1t,
what was there for him TO say? Ow-
ems had said 1t all.
Another day he was umpiring when
an outfielder dropped a fly ball. He
was first at bat in the following In
ming, and the pitcher shot one fast
that was over the corner.
"Strike!" bawled owens.
Brick" said the batter and turn
ed, you missed one that time"
"Now. that isn't nice" was owens
comeback. You missed one out there
and | didn't say anything to you"
No, the player had no comeback,
oh, Brick was there with the retort
all right We might have heard some
more if he hadn't been timid.

/ REAL NERVE and
BODYBUILDING MEDICINE

We believe Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is
the best remedy made for toning thenerves,
enriching the blood, building up wasted
tissues, renewing health, strength and en-
ergy-the best medicine you can use If you
are rundown, tired-out, nervous and de-
biitated, no matter what the cause. It
doesn't depend for its good effect upon
alcohol or habit-forming drugs, because it
contains none. 1t may not make you feel
better in few hours, but it will make you
feel better, we are sure, just as soon as the
tonic and food properties it contains have a
chance to get into the blood and, through
the blood, into the rest of the system. Pure
Olive Oil and the Hypophosphites have
long been endorsed by successful physi-
clans, but here, for the first time, they are
combined into one preparation which, as
nerve-food and builder of strength and
health, we believe, has no equal.
If you don't feel well, begin taking Rex
all Olive Oil Emulsion today, and build
your health and strengthen your system
against more serious illness. To GONZALES
cents, old people, puny children and all
Others who are weak, rundown or ailing,
we offer Rexal Olive Oil Emulsion with
our personal promise that, If it doesn't
make you well and strong again, it will cost
you nothing. If we didn't have the utmost
faith in it, we wouldn't offer It with this
guarantee, nor even recommend it to you
We are sure that once you have used it you
will recommend it to your friends, and
thank us for having recommended it to you.
Sold only at the more than 1000 Rexall
Stores, and in this town only by US. Loo.

THE CAUSES OF
INCREASED TAXES

There is misunderstanding abroad
among the people Of the county by
reason of which they blame the coun-
ty commissioners of the county for
the material increase of taxation
which they have been made to feel
by the recent payment of the person
al property taxes. Many people be-
lieve that the employment of the
County Agricultural Agent is one of
the main causes for this additional
taxation. A moments reflection will
convince anyone that this latter idea
is entirely erroneous. The amount
which the county contributes towards
the salary of the County Agent is
$1,000. With the taxable valuation
of the county at approximately ten
million dollars, the county agent con-
tribution amounts to about TEN
CENTS ON EACH ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS WORTH OF TAXABLE
VALUATION. The item is paid from
the county revenue fund In 1912
there was levied 1874 mills for this
fund. In 1913 there was levied 100
mills for this fund, or O4 mills less
than the year before when there was
no county agent. The county board
simply cut down other appropriations
so that no increase of taxation was
necessary on account of the county
agent. The cost of the county agent
is mere bagatelle to the ordinary

".rhat is the simple, scientific
truth which illumined our friend, and
as long as that light shall live, he
will live; he and his gladness.'
At the grave, Rabbi Eli Mayer read
a Scripture lesson, including the
Twenty.third Psalm. Frederic c.
Howe then spoke briefly:
: mo man in recent years has awak-
ened SO many people in so many dis
tant lands to an interest in a great
social reform for the freedom of man
as has Joseph Fels, at the side of
whose grave we stand today. No sin
gle man has demonstrated the power
of single man to compel millions,
with different convictions, different
languages and beliefs, to think cou
mon language, and to believe in
common ideal, as has he.
unlike other men, wearied of the
emptiness of wealth, and DESTROYS of
helping his fellow-man, he spoke to
the world of justice, not charity, and
awakened belief in a society where
liberty, equality and fraternity would
take the place of the inequality and
injustice of the present day.
The services were concluded with
the address of Louis F. Post.
Il wish to offer my tribute to the
memory of Joseph Fels. loved him
as I have loved but few friends. He
was a man devoted. His devotion to
the cause of the disinherited, which
lay nearest his heart, seems to me to
have been almost without parallel.
Perhaps he did not die for the cause
as men so understand; but he did
that which was more difficult-he liv-
ed for it. He gave to it all he had;
not his financial income alone, but
himself with it. It is impossible to
think that such man has died. The
instrument he used, the body he in
habited, is worn out; we lay it away.
But human life would be without rea-
son if the man himself died with his
body. We see that this man whom
we loved, whom we love, has left
that which will live, whether he has
| died or not. The cause of injustice
to which he gave his fortune, his en-.
ergies, himself, is beginning to be un.
derstood by the world. AS that un.
derstanding grows, with it will grow
understanding of him, appreciation OF
him. And as long as the world re-
members the names of Henry George
and Tom L. Johnson, it will link with
them the name of Joseph Fels."
Thus was Joseph Fels laid to rest
The sky was blue and clear, the
ground white with snow, and beyond
the cemetery was farmland; quiet
resting place for one who had earned
it. "For after he had served his own
generation by the will of God, he fel
on sleep, and was laid unto his
fathers. The Public.
