URGES AMERICANS TO BUY
AMERlcAN.MADE GOODS

In the December Woman's Home
Companion Frank A. Vanderlip, presi.
dent of the National City Bank OF
New York, urges Americans to buy
homemade goods. His appeal is in
the form Of letter which he sent to
the Companion approving an article
in the October number by Ida NJ. Tar
bell in which she showed how the
present war has opened to American
women an opportunity to assist bust
ness in this country by patronizing
American products. Miss Tarbell
said that our dependence upon Europe
is due to the neglect OF our own pro-
ducts in the past by American women
who have been spending vast sums
for articles OF foreign make. Mr..
Vanderlip's letter follows:
II have been much interested in
Miss Tarbelrs editorial for your Oc-
tober number. am wholly in accord
with its sentiment There has un.
questionably been much purchasing
of foreien-m9de articles that cannot
be explained because of superiority
in quality or economy in price We
can manufacture at home practically
everything that we now get from
abroad. Awaiting themselves Of the
opportunity now presented American
manufacturers can far more largely
supply our market with produce as
fine in quality and as low in price as
those brought in from any other coun-
try. Our domestic producers deserve
the support of our own people, and !
think in the main they have had it.
believe they should have such sup.
port in an added degree in the fu.

making loans. Just as soon as these
committees have been named and the
details settled, such as the amount
per pound TO be loaned, the interest
rate. time OF loan, etc. the pool will
be ready for business. Farmers who
desire TO hold their cotton for s cents
or more will then be in a position to
do so. as they can borrow on the
cotton sufficient funds to tide them
over. The one great danger in the
plan as The Eagle sees It is, the cot.

Worlds Tourist Stars Remain

The Feds did not win a single man
yesterday from the ranks of the
worlds tourists, but they succeeded
in forcing the high cost of ball play
ers up to new records.
Iris Speaker, outfielder of the Bos-
ton Red Sox, after carrying on a
violent Irritation with the outlaws
all day long, signed with the Boston
Americans for two years at a salary
of $4,000 a year.
Joseph j. Lannin, president of the
club. announced that the player
would also receive a bonus, but he
did not say whether ii was to be the
mint at Washington or a tube of
radium.
No outfielder has ever received a
contract calling for so large a salary.
All along the line, the battle of
Lusitania Landing went In favor of
organized baseball. Sam Crawford,
who had been mentioned by James

for the Brooklyn Feds" went to De-
troit without a struggle
BY failing to meet the incoming

outlaws lost valuable time, and found
hoped to win over already under con-

James A. Gilmore did not even
bother to come to the pier, but left
the bargaining in the hands of Miner
Brown, George Stoval and Otto
Knabe. The Federal ball players die
not seen to be much of a success al

spent their time in interviewing each

and induced him to sign after a very
