: J|MMY" JACKSON
OPENS HEADQUARTERS
Started Canvass Today to Raise
Funds to Purchase Desir-
able Players

Wilmington, Del, March 10.-"Jim-
my" Jackson, manager of the Will
mington Tri-State team, has moved
into "Peachtown" for the summer. He
will make frequent trips in search of
players, but his home will be here
until the league season ends.
Manager JackSon'S first announce
ment was that he will need from
$1,000 to $4,000 to recruit and equip
the team as it should be during the
coming season. and the owners of the
team and Manager Jackson feel that
an appeal to the civic pride of the resi-
dents of Wilmington will result in the
necessary amount being subscribed.
Manager Jackson has been desig-
mated by the owners to call on the
business men of Wilmington to try to
get subscriptions to at least $4,000 of
stock in the club. He also will present
the matter to the Chamber of Com
merce and to the Wilmington Develop
ment Company.
Wilmingtonians will be asked to
take stock in any amounts that will
tend to make up the total of at least
S2, 500 needed. The more persons who
become stockholders the better II will
be for the team. 1t Is figured out that
II fifty persons each should subscribe
to $50 worth of stock it would give the
amount needed, or If one hundred per-
sons should subscribe to $25 worth of
stock 1t would put the team on a
sound basis, and at the same time give
the buyers OF stock a personal interest,"
IN the success of the team.

with such teachers, many OF
whom have rendered the state

as teachers in such numbers that
it will not be necessary to con-

GOD HAS PLACE FOR EVERY
ONE.

For many of us-nay, most OF
us-there is undoubtedly a place
in the ranks Of the army Of God.
He who really wants to serve
can usually find the chance Sin
cere desire, more often than not,
seems to create it's own oppor-
tunity. But even, though this
be not true in our particular case,
there lis no reason whatever for
our feeling that we cannot use
our one talent to good purposes.
There is no one of us who is not
filling some place in the world,
however small-charged with
some task, however insignificant
brought into personal relations
with some people, however few.
And to the extent at least that
we are thus a part of one little
segment of the human whole We
can offer our unit of devoted SER
pice. We can be a good COM
rade with our associates in the
days work. We can do our task
as though on honor and speak
cur word as though under oath.
When we sell we can put honest
goods upon the counter, and
when we buy we can pay one
hundred cents On the dollar. We
can respect all women as though
they were our sisters. We can
keep our hearthstones unspotted
from the world and thus make
cur home to be as Holy of Holes
in Gods temple. This-and
much more than can be detailed
here-can we do, he we rich or
poor, high or how, great or small.
Nor is this a petty or unworthy
offering-Bossier Banner.
