SOUTHERN CLERKS SEE BIG CHANGE.

I look to have the path to victory entirely
| to themselves.
Unos are giving Southlands a hard
struggle to retain second place, and
around these two quints the fight for
second place Is bound TO revoiye.
Cubs have sufficient lead in the Co.
lumbia circuit to make II safe to fore
see a triumph for that quint Three
games separate it from the Grtffos, but
the latter team does not seem to havo
the speed to offset this difference in the
short time remaining for the teams to
roll. Buffalos seem to have their place
in third position we'll cinched. while the
Indians are likely to remain in the Gel
lar championship.
Probably no league in the city has
followed its schedule more faithfully
than the teams composing the Columbia
outfit. One set Is rolled On Tuesdays
and Wednesdays. and the teams have
succeeded in staging some Of the most
interesting games seen in the city this
season. Much enthusiasm accompanies
every set, and the league has made a
host Of friends through its clean-cut,
sportsmanlike manner Of competition.
Finance has taken a long lead In the
race which has long been waxing warm
er In the Postoffice Departmental or
sanizatiou. For many weeks It has been
apparent that the Finance team would
walk away with the first honors, but
the fight for second place has been, the
big struggle, and it now flovers around
the Postal Savings and Railway Mail
quints. The former team is now leading
for second place by a margin Of two
games, but this wall Of protection may
easily be broken down. Inspection Is by
no means too far down in the race to
soar into the money. and around these
last three named teams the principal
amount Of interest seems to lie.
For the first year OF its existence on
any alley. the Reclamation League is
giving Its followers a race which has
kept up interest from the very begin
ming. Accounts seem to have the Mails
and Files quite a little at odds as to
how to tear down the margin of two
games now separating them. At any
calculation. those teams will divide the
first and second honors. while Tech
nical should have no trouble remaining
in third place. Purchase and Supplies
will probably be found IN its present
standings when the season closee.

other bowling leagues will be discussed

man connected with the National

scant attention and would have re-

shudder to think Of what would have
happened to Charles Webb Murphy if
he had come to the front with talk
like Johnson's. For language which
paled in comparison to that of the
president of the American league
Murphy was the butt of every para

This business of calling a man a
bum because he isn't with you and

not make a hit with the American

Maybe Bill Donovan will be the

a hot tip out that his appointment
will be announced late this afternoon

He graduated from the Jennings

pennant in his first season.

WHO CAN DIG IT OUT?

Farmers today are put to their
wits ends to know how to keep
the young men in the country.
No one seems to be able to
solve the problem. and yet it
must be solved or a few more
years will see the farms almost
completely depopulated.
And the nation is dependent
upon the farms.
Young men are leaving the
farms day by day because the life
is too dull for them.
They are intelligent, ambitious,
full Of life and spirits, and crave
more active career.
They rush to the cities in the
belief that fortune awaits them
there. But ninety-nine out of ev
cry hundred become simple cogs
in the great commercial wheel
making barely enough to keep
soul and body together, and new
er saving dollar.
There is a remedy somewhere
some means certainly exists for
keeping our young men on the
farms, where the nation needs
them.
Who can dig it out?

GOOD ROADS.

At the Good Roads conference
held in New Orleans last week
and which was attended by Lieut..
Governor Thomas G. Barrel, c.
H. Sweetser, Of Lake Charles ;
John Marsh, Of Crowley; Hon.
Harry Gamble, Assistant Attor-
ney General and number OF
other leading citizens of the
State. A resolution was adopted
to the effect that State Good
Roads Association is a necessity
for the proper promotion Of the
Good Roads cause in Louisiana,
and authorizing Secretary John
B. Kent to invite the police juries,
the automobile clubs, the cham
bers Of commerce, and other in
terented bodies, to send each
delegate to a convention to be
held at Alexandria, La, on Dec.
18th and 18th for the purpose OF
organizing such ap association.
1t is believed by those promot-
ing this movement that there are
many things which such an asso-
citation can do to aid the cause
of Good Roads and it is hoped
that all public and semi-public
bodies interested will provide for
representation at the convention.
