BY c. n. ZUBER.

CINCINNATI, Aug 26.-Where Is
all this first place excitement IN the
National League going to end? Here
it is less than seven weeks to the close
of the season and the matter OF the
pennant still is an open bet, with four
teams in the running for the big nom
or. The past week has seen decld-
ed advance on the part or BOSTON, St.
Louis and Chicago, and drop on the
part of New York, with the result that
the Beans went to tie with Giants on
Sunday, with St. Louis only one game
behind the two leaders, and the chi
Cages within striking distance OF the
other three The present week promis-
es to see a break in this tense situa-
ton, as the four leaders will be play
ing each other during all of that time,
and it is certain that some one Will
tumble off the perch. Meanwhile the
National League race, as whole, is
the highest that this old organization
ever has witnessed. with the eight
teams punched within one hundred
points on Monday, making 1t possible
for even the tailenderS at this time to
take the lead before the end OF the
season, although no one looks for such
q condition
HeHog Builds Up.
Manager HerZog is pursuing his
building up policy for the Reds with
unwonted vigor. During the past few
days he has added Pitcher Fahrer, of
Dayton; First Baseman Graham, Of
Roanoke, and Outfelder Willefer, of
Minneapolis, to the teams lineup.
These men, and number of others
who are on their way to join the Reds,
will be given every opportunity to dis
pay their fine points between now
a.-d the close of the season. Manager
HerZog realizes that this is the time
to see these recruits at their best, and
at the same time to offer the local fol-
lowers of the game the opportunity of
studying the youngsters under most
favorable conditions. The Reds will
start next season with fewer expert
ments than any other team in the lea
que for the simple reason that Mana
ger Herzog will do practically all his
experimenting this fall
Prepare Testimonial.
So enthusiastic are local followers

by Manager Herzog that a movemen
has been started to present the hust-
ling leader of the Reds with testi.
monial, expressive of the appreciation
of the loyalty and ability shown dur
ing the season by the Reds new boss
The date for the presentation Of the
testimonial has been set for Sunday,
Sept. -, on which occasion there will
be double header between the Reds
and the St. Louis Cardinals. The Reds
by the way. have been largely ilstru.
mental in keeping down the percent
age Of the Cards, so that this double
header, as well as single Sunday game
between the Reds and Higgins men
on Sept. 6, is certain to draw large
audiences. The final appearance of an
eastern team on the local lot is set
for next Sunday, when the Phillies
bid farewell for the year.

|SPANGLER QUALITIES
| FOR STATE TOURNEY
Local Golfer Meets Indianap-
oils Player in First Round
of Meet.

Earl Spangler. by making medal
score of Sc in the state golf tourna-
ment at Marion yesterday, qualified
for the championship fight and was
scheduled to meet David Baxter OF
the Highland club. Indianapolis, in the
first round today. In the qualifying
roU1d yesterday Baxter, who is con-
sidered one of the best golfers in
the state, made a medal score of 81
on the 36-hole course.
The other Richmond player, Abra-
ham Stratton, failed to qualify for the
championship match, but will play in
the committee cup tournament. He
was scheduled to meet A. H. Seilken
of Riverside club, Indianapolis. In
the playing yesterday Seilken made
the sensational play Of the day by 60
ing 120-foot hole in one stroke, while
the DOGGY play for this is three.
Both Richmond men are matched
with hard opponents, and it would not
be surprising to see them fall early
in the tournament. Spangler's oppo-
nent, especially, is tough" one. He
is an experienced golfer, and was run
ner up in recent state tournament.
The course at Marion is considered
one of the sportiest in the state with
a DOGGY of SO for the nine holes. 1t
has a large number of natural hazards
and is hard course to get accustomed
to, according to players. 1t is a new
course, but is in good condition
Thirty-two men, including Spangler
qualified for the championship fight
They were pair today and the tourna
ment started in earnest. Burr Swezey
of Marion made the best score yester
day, going the thirtysix holes in II
one stroke below DOGGY. He is count
ed on probable winner of the tour
nament.

ROOFING
PUBLIC CONFIDENCE
AS Seen by the General

Public confidence is tho great
est asset that any house of
business can possess. 1t Is
more to be desired than the
ability to make money.
There are degrees of public
confidence. 1t may be zero, q
minus quantity, or plus guam
ists-nobody is for or against
such house. But this condi-
ton can exist only where the
house or it's goods are unknown,
and as soon as the public has
given the house n trial it will
pass judgment, and public con-
fldence will then be expressed
ing to the approval or disap-
prevail of the public as to the
goods and policies of the house.
If the goods are not as repre-
scented. or if the policies are not
in accordance with the ethics OF
good business, public confidence
will drop to a minus quantity
and the people will transact
business with its competitors
higher and more satisfactory
plane. If the goods are satis-
factory, and If the policies Of
the house are right. the people
will continue to do business
with that house and will help
to build it up.
The plus sign of public con-
fldence is always attached to
the name Of house OF business
that considers service to it's
customers, absolute integrity
with reference to its goods. and
high ideals In Its business poll
cies. as being or greater conse-
quence than the mere earning
of dividends. A well satisfied
community OF customers is the
key to the success of any house
OF business, and. having estab-
lished this, dividends will be
sure to follow.

POLICE PROTECTION FOR ALASKA
 SIMILAR TO THAT IN YUKON
X HEN Delegate Wickersham with the CommercialI w Club just before leaving for the one of the


 w Club just before leaving outside one of the
 suggestions made to him that he should endcavUr to get established in Alaska system of police similar canadian Northwest Mounted police organization It ques- onabe whether the suggestion good one says the banks News Miner
 No will deny that the territory suffers from lack of police protection, that such body of suggested would be very useful But whether vast amount of money necessary for the upkeep of the organization put to better purpose in other ways in the territory is another question.
 In the early days of the Canadian Northwest the police rendered themselves particularly useful adopting pur suing the policy that prevention crime was far preferable to It's mere punishment To attain this end the impression had to be conveyed that there policemen everywhere even Tn the most remote parts of the country This big undertaking view of the of the territory and the small of the orce but it accomplished by the development of patrol system which enabled the in charge of tachment to keep daily touch with his nghbor there very few trails in the territory which not ridden every day by at least policeman The afford cd feeling of security and although the elements which tend to disturbance in other present. little crime. It by demonstrating that handfuof men could largely prevent crime in country vast that the mounted police really earned the reputation of which they every reason to be proud.
 To develop and maintain such system in Alaska would cost yearly in the of only few hundred men being employed But the fact remains that pospector and traveller in the lonesome places accorded protection and the tale of murder done that has all too frequently to be told.
 The Canadian mounted police practically soldiers vested with police powers They soldiers uniforms, draw soldiers pay and drilled exactly the the mounted infantry of the regular army. The government al ready in maintaining in Alaska companies of troops most of which have lots of idle time their hands, It would quite feasible that such system of parong in the Canadian territory could be naugated by the soldiers and that they given police powers they could equally well deterrents of crime did the mounted police in the old days. certain number of from each post could be told off to the duty and under qualified instructor trained especially for the work At each of the telegraph stations in addition to the operators could be quartered and the trail between posts paoed every day
 The smalness of the extra cost that would be enaied in installing such system should appeal the and would at least be much better for the territory than police force at all.

Some of the larger ships will be con-

Germany Controls Situation;
Holds Services of Supplies
UNITE STATES GETS POTASH NITRATES FROM
CHILI-WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO WARNING THESE
SOURCES OF SUPPLY MANUFACTURE OF AMMUNITION
SHOULD BE BOTTLED ECTUALLY?

If the German potash mines are
shut down or if expectations are STOP
ped indefinitely, the United States IS
up stump for its potash supply; if
Germany or some other country
should seize all nitrate deposits Of
Chile, in spite of the Monroe doctrine,
the United States would likewise be
at the end of its nitrate supply-the
two most important constituents for
the manufacture of gunpodwer, dyn-
amite, nitro-glycerine and other ex-
plosives of war. The respective de-
posits of the two mines in these coun-
tries are, singularly enough, the only
ones in the world, says the Philadel-
phia Record
This fact may be of startling sig
niticance in connection with an al
most worlds war. About 245,OOO tons
of dynamite, gunpowder, blasting
powder and other explosives, valued
at $40,0O0,0OO, are made annually in
the United States, the raw materials
entering into them being valued at
some $23,OO0,OOO. Of potash at least,
it is to be assumed that this country
will get no more from Germany until
the war is overa
What will we do, what will the 9th
er nations do when their supply Of
ammunition is exhausted, in the event
that a war is an extended one? There
are no great reserves of ammunition
in the United States, not nearly en-
ough, in fact, to put US on full war
footing, and there are no large stocks
of raw material, either of potash or
nitrate.
The contingency has apparently not
received serious consideration that
the two countries which control pot
ash and nitrate control the extended
supply of the most important element
in war, for chemists state that there
are no possible substitutes.
Ammunition Supply of Today.
When it is remembered that a sin
gle shot from one of the giant guns
of abattleship burns up enough pow
der to supply whole regiment OF
old-time rifemen for a dozen battles
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-08-23

it can be seen that there is little re-
lation between the ammunition sup
ply of the conflict of today and that
of earlier wars.
All the potash needed in the Revo-
lutionary war might have been leach
ed from wood ashes. Then, too, aside
from powder as a military necessity,
and assuming that Germany's potash
mines are closed to the rest of the
world if, indeed, they are to be mined
at all, where is our annual consum2-
ton of 25OOOO,OOO pounds of blasting
powder to come from which we use
principally in coal mining, to say
nothing of the 100000 tons or so of
potash which we import annually as
e fertilizer? This is a necessary plant
food which we can obtain from no.
where but Germany.
Lack Two Necessities.
All IN all, it seems that, however
rich the United States is in most min
eral resources in two of the greatest
necessities, both in times of peace and
in times of war, we are entirely lack
ing. Potash and nitrate are then only
minerals out of which the large guam
titles of explosives necessary for mod
ern warfare can be made and they are
likewise the only minerals which
furnish in quantity two of the three
absolutely necessary elements of fer
tilizer. The third plant food, phos-
phoric acid, we have in large deposits
of phosphate rock, but this element is
not used in explosives. 1t further
seems that as an emergency measure,
even if not a preparatory war meas
ure, the United States government
should put forth a real effort to find
some natural deposits of both potash
and nitrate.
AS a peace measure, in the interests
of agriculture, Congress has for the
past three years made a small appro-
priation for the Agricultural Depart
ment and one for the Geological Sur
vey and authorized a search for pot
tsh-$20,OO0 is to be expended by the
survey this year in drilling a couple of
wells for potash-as a war or emer-

gency measure the government might
well expend the price of a least
very small gunboat for this purpose
and scatter several score of these test
drill holes over the dessicated basins
of the West, where biologists say the
chance of striking either potash Or
nitrate deposits are most favorable.
