The Belgian appeal heard by Minnesota people
has caused hundreds and hundreds to join move
ment by which they can help the stricken people
of that wavering country. The Boy Scouts of
America among the many who are giving such
assistance is within their power.
We clip short article from the St. Paul
Pioneer Press in which we read of the hearty re-
spouse of the St. Paul people to the Belgian ap-
peal for aid:
The response of St. Paul to the appeal
for clothing and other supplies for the use
of the refugee Begians has already been
gratfyingly large and the Belgian Re-
lief Week" is still young. One rather
amusing phase of this fine philanthropic
work, which St. Paulites have taken up
with will, is the prospect of Belgian
peasants being decked out in American
clothing. AS everybody knows, Belgians.
like all Europeans dress in fashion
somewhat different from that of Ameri-
cans, and lower class Belgians wear gar
ments and suits unlike anything seen in
these parts When the women are finally
fitted out with American dresses and
shoes and the men don neatly cut Ameri-
suits and exchange their wooden
sabots for American Shoes they will pre-
sent rather queer appearance to their
own countrymen, presumably. But Euro
peans generally quite enamored of
anything American, as Americans are
pleased with European clothes and styles,
and moreover, the things sent these poor
Belgians by the people of the United
States will be on the whole much better
than they are used to, that even if at first
they feel and look strange in their new
clothing, they will accept it with joy and
gratitude, without a doubt
The above demonstrates without a doubt the
brotherly and ssterly love toward the sufferers in
this life and death struggle. If such spirit as
this was more prevalent today, there would be a
much saner understanding between God and man
and nation.

Self-pity evolves hypocrites who pretend that
they feel sorry for us, when the fact is that down
deep in their hearts they think less of us for every
whine, every crouch and every growl. Keep
your eyes open, mouth closed and do not bewailj
to others and perhaps life may be to you worth
while.

A TRIBUTE

HE state of bread and butter has pro-
duced in her comparatively young life
her share of noble types of good, heroic
men. 'Twould be difficult to say who
has been or is the greatest man in the
public estimation of Minnesota.
The underlying principle and the
fundamental requisite of true greatness
is Service to Humanity. He who can
do the greatest good to the greatest

Size of Ponies Not
To Be Restricted

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-No restric-
tons as to the size of the ponies will
be placed on the mounts which Will
carry the American and English polo
lists who will take part in the struggle
for the Westminster cup at the Mead
OVERLOOK Club on June 3, When the
challenge was sent to the Polo Asso-
citation by the members of the Hur-
bingham Club, the challengers waived
the question of measurements. Any
pony that is really a pony can take
part in the match games, irrespective
OF size
A pony. in order to be classified sg
a polo pony, must not measure more
than IA hands inches. This rule re-
garding measurement was strictly en-
forced in games before 1909, but since
then the rule has been sidetracked.
What the challengers and the de
tenders of the cup desire is speed,
and this can not always be obtained
in a 142 pony. A pony of this size
is usually too small to carry heavy
man, and when pitted against a horse
several inches bigger usually finishes
second best in a dash after the ball.

TINKER HURLS
HOT SHOT INTO
EbbETS' CAMP
Joe Didn't Want To Be "Goat" in
Brooklyn Owners Plan for
Some Publicity.

~ HICAGO, Jan. 1o.-Joseph B.
Tinker, who hurled the monkey
wrench into the wheels Of or.
ganized baseball when he signed a
Federal League contract, made the
statement to-day that the machinery
would have zone along smoothly with
never the slip OF a cog If Charles H
Ebbets, the Brooklyn magnate, had
cared less for free advertising.
And now 1t Is Tinker who declares
that 1t was the magnate's love Of
free advertising that resulted In his
signing a Federal League contract.
And II must be admitted that 1t was
the signing of Tinker and Brown
that really made the third league for
midable.
When l read that I had been sold
to Ebbets, ! wasn't pleased" said Joe,
but when | heard that l was to re-
ceive cash bonus Of 1000 for sign
ing, you can wager that my feelings
underwent a change.
mo one can find fault with me for
going where l can get the most mon
ey. IL a man possesses talent he
can not be blamed If he turns 1t to
the best account.
Il waited a few days and heard
nothing from Ebbets. Then teIe-
graphed him. I received no answer
to my message. / wanted to know
where | stood, whether the voice of
the $4,000 bonus really went.
Il waited until I knew that Ebbets
was in Cincinnati. Then I wired and
asked him whether he would be in
Indianapolis on the following day.
There was no answer.
Il didn't go. On the day that l
should meet him ] received a tele-
phone call from Manager Wilbert
Robinson, of the Dodgers. He told
me that Ebbets was angry because |
had wired and asked him about the
bonus and the terms.
Then came a letter. 1t was from
Ebbets. He offered me a salary of
$4,000 a year for three years and the
bonus of $4,000.
Here is where the publicity stunt
came In. l was to go to the National
League meeting in New York in Feb
ruary. The contract and the certified
check would be there. There would
also be a group of newspaper pho
tographers. They would be a little
party and the check would be photo
graphed.
THAT was the first and only time
that / heard from Ebbets. His let
ter was just bit too late. The deal
with the Federal League had been
completed and | had decided to cast
my fortunes with them, even IL the
contract had not been signed"

So far as Burns Is concerned the

The injury he received in a railroad

TO simmer, the knee sings little note

They contrved to make themselves
look something like the fellows they

in the shape of vim as well as excess
weight.
After chewing the cud of reflection

cided to remain in retirement, and his
friends are commencing him for TAX

Erects a Steel Staff to Hold
Weight of Future remnants.
By James Clarkeson.

~ONNIE MACK, the silent leader

his wonderful ball club will win many

nant flags are expected to float to the

ira pennants, and c. Mack is firm in
his belief that 1t is only a question
of another summer before one more
flag will float above the ball yard IF
