Automobiles

The trade estimates that
the sales Of automobiles for
1914 will aggregate a total
of $600,000,0 900.
1t is interesting to note
that this immense volume
of business has been largely
built up through persistent
advertising linked with con-
sistent craftsmanship.
And more el1lightening
still is the fact that much
the larger percentage of du-
tom0bile advertising is used
IN the daily newspapers.
The newspaper Gdvertis-
ing aDEich IN most cases is
directly linked up qgith the
name of the local dealer IS
the sales message that
brings direct results.
The automobile is a use
full servant, but had there
not been such aggressive
and intelligent advertising
its manufacture would still
be among the infant indus
tries.

West Virginia Coal.

Some of our exchanges are carry
ing a diHpatch from Baltimore saying
that West Virginia coal is displacing
Welsh coal in a number Of markets.
Especially is this true as to the
Mediterranean ports and Egypt, and
Welsh coal producers are beginning
to fear those markets are slipping
from them. West Virginia has the
coal; she has many thousands OF
acres yet undeveloped, and these re-
gions where production has been in
progress are little more than
scratched. This state can furnish
the world with fuel and is willing to
do it.-Bluefleld Telegraph.

Today baseball holds the ma
ton IN its grip. Presidents.
statesmen, millIonaries, and
bankers forsake their desks 10
attend the games. Over 10000
GEO fans pay more than S10.-
100000 every season to watch
the 5000 professional BAH play
ers making up the more than so
major and minor leagues in the
United States. These athletes
combined earn salaries amount
ing TO more than Sc, GEO, 600 a
season-some star players are
said to receive more than S15.-
600 for six months work. The
outcome of games is awaited
throughout the country with
deeper interest than many Of the
grave problems that confront
the government. There is hard
~ a school, university or a So
cial club in the country that is
not represented at,least once on
the baseball diamond during the
year. There are many baseball
mines made up OF girls and wo-
men who can play nearly as well
as their brother-players in many
minor leagues. Baseball Is not
only the national game today; it
is rapidly becoming information
al. Wherever the United States
flag flies, in the Philippines,
Hawaii, Porto Rico, or Alaska,
there are rabid baseball fans and
professional players. In the
shade of Japan's famous cherry
trees, native university students
are lining 'em out" Co-incident
with the adoption of the princi-
pies of republic, the Chinese
also adopted the American game
of baseball. And now comes the
news that the French Athletic
Association has decided to adopt
baseball as a national sport. In
fact, the sun never sets on base

and

Stxty-eight years ago today
the hTst match game Of baseball
on record was played. The game
was between the Knlckerbocker
and New York Baseball clubs in
the Elysian Fields at Hoboken,
n. J. The players were men,
bers Of theEleading New York
families, and engaged in the
sport as a pastime. A bevy of
town bellies. in the group Of
spectators made the occasion
seem like social function. The
field was marked off into the
baseball diamond so familiar to-
day. None Of the players wore
gloves, masks, or protectors. 1t
was the custom for the batter to
say where he wantel the ball
thrown. The pitcher, or "giv-
err" as he was then called, de-
Hvered 1t with an underhand
toss. according to the rules Of
the game. 1t was thought that
the pitcher had an unfair adj
vantage over the batter when he
threw theNball overland, hence
the rule. The catcher stood at
a safe distance behind the batter
ready to catch the ball on the
bound. The rules dictated that
If he caught the third strike on
the first bound the batter was
out; otherwise he must throw to
first base to put him out. Like
wise, the fielders, or scouts"
were permitted to catch hits on
the first bound. Three outs re-
tired the side. The team that
first scored Fl runs, or aces"
regardless Of the number of in
nings played, was accounted the
winner. After the game, the
players resorted to one OF the IA
nous taverns of the day where
the victors had a dinner at the
expense of the vanquished.

THE
SILVER BLACK FOX
BREEDING OF THESE ANIMALS
HAS BECOME AN INDUSTRY
IN PARTS OF CANADA.

The propagation of the silyer-black
fox for commercial purposes has re-
Gently become one of the most popu-
lar sources of investment in parts Of
Canada and the eastern end of the
British dominion. So great has the
craze for breeding the black fox be-
come and so apparently rich the re-
turns from the investments in fox
ranches, that Canadians are seeking
American capital especially in upper
New York and throughout New Eng
land for this industry. These ranches
are to be found in Prince Edward
Island, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia,
Quebec. Ontario and other provinces
in the Dominion of Canada. Fabulous
prices are paid for a pair Of whelps
In the consular reports there is to
be found considerable information re-
garding these animals. In the report
of Consul Wesley Frost, stationed at
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island,
is found the following:
The value of first quality Prince Ed
ward Island silver black foxes for
breeding purposes rose from $4,000
per pair in October, 1912, to about
$4,000 or $4,000 per pair in January,
was possible to secure options on I'M
born spring progeny at $4,000 to $12,-
600 per hair. Ten per cent OF the
price was required to be deposited
with the prospective vendor, to be re-
turned with interest in case of failure
to produce the whelps on September /,
the common date for deliveries.
In April and May, 1918, it became
apparent that the quantity Of offspring
would be far short of anticipations,
and an almost instantaneous advance
in price ensued Quotations rose from
$4,000 in April to $4,000 or 1000
in May, and finally to~$17,500 and $18,-
900 in June. Numerous transfers were
made at still higher figures, but the
majority ranged from $4,000 to$16, 900.
Some new details as to the manner
of caring for the island foxes may be
worthy of notice. There is tendency
toward making the pens larger, some
of the most up to date ranches having
paddock areas so by SO feet instead of
rs by so feet as formerly The idea
is that the fox has more opportunity
to run and get exercise. 1t Is said
that one Ontario ranch has running
pen of several hundred feet. in which
the foxes may be seen running steadily
for hours at a time. Another new
suggestion relates to the use of sheet
iron in place of part of the wire netting
to prevent foxes from climbing. 1t
has been found that this iron refracts
the heat injuriously in summer. The
use of boards for this purpose and
slipping the foxes claws have been ad-
vocated.
recent estimate places the number
of fox ranches in New Brunswick at 8,
with 13 in Nova Scotia, 6 in Quebec,
IA in Ontario, in addition to the large
number in Prince Edward Island and
those scattered throughout other
provinces of the dominion. About one
half of these ranches are conducted by
Incorporated companies, and the cap
ital stock is freely offered for sale not
only throughout the eastern provinces
of Canada but in the eastern states as
well.

CASE IS Still ON
SUIT AGAINST WAPEkLo COUNTY
FOR $4,000 CONTINUES IN
DISTRICT COURT.

The A. w. Maddy case in which Mr..
Maddy is asking. judgment for $4,000
from Wapello county for alleged per-
sonal injuries was resumed again this
morning in district court.
Charles Areingdale who was on the
stand when court adjourned Saturday
afternoon was called to testify again
this morning. Mr. Areingdale stated
that he had called to see Mr.. Maddy
on the afternoon after the accident Is
said to have occurred. He also said
that on the following Monday he in
spected the bridge in question after he
had called H. B. Patterson, who was
chairman of the board of supervisors
in November, 1912, when the accident
is alleged to have occurred. Mr.. Pat
terson was also on the stand and stat
ed that he had been notified by Areing-
dale in regard to the condition of the
bridge. Charles w. Sloan, voluntary
weather observer in Ottumwa, told OF
the weather conditions on November
IA, 1912, and the few days preceding
and following that date. Eldorado VIII.
son who lives in the Maddy neighbor-
hood gave about the same testimony
as Mr.. Areingdale.
A decree by Judge c. w. Vermilion
