sometime. There is a revelation in
it that is worth while. Most of them
come to be well-to-do; some of them
grow rich. The children are the en-
thusiastic supporters OF this move
ment. Under the counsel and encour-
agement of teachers and parents, as
evidenced by the rapid growth of the
movement. the children are being train.
ed in economies and are now saving for
some really beneficial use. This train

formation of frugal habits and be a

The Plan.
Each Friday forenoon the children
will take to school their pennies or
other savings, and viii deposit them
with the teacher, who viii issue n
penny stamp for each cent paid in By
the child.
These stamps will be pasted into
a folder holding fifty stamps.
This folder when filed will be TAX

The cup win go to the nation which first wins three of the five matches that com pose the three-day playing programme. Temporary stands to accommodate l2oo0 spectators have been erected and all tho seats have been sold.
 Speculation on the outcome indicates that the challenging team Is favored to win the cup donated by Dwight Davis of St. Louis in 1900 as an international challenge trophy. Mclaughlin is the chief hope of the Americans, but Williams is not unlikely to prove the key that turns to victory or defeat Tennis experts agree that Mclaughlin and Williams between them must win three of the four singles matches since Brookes and Wildng are top-heavy favorites for the doubles. Uncertainty prevails at the eleventh hour in United States tennis circles as to the makeup of the American doubles
 team. II is understood that Mclaughlin
 favors the playing of Bundy. who, with himself, hold the national doubles title Many tennis officials. however, prefer McLoughlin and Behr. believing that the latter would prove a stronger partner for Mclaughlin than Bnndy who has not shown the form this year which has marked his play in previous seasons.

With the shooting of the Alabama han dicap, the annual state tournament, which has been in progress since Monday, was brought to a most successful close yesterday afternoon. In all there were 61 different entrants, the greater part of whom completed in the entire programme
 Of the 300 regulation 16-yard targets, W. H. Jones, an amateur of Macon, Ga with the magnificent score of 492, led the field. The winner shot in splendid form throughout the tournament and, though a comparatively new shooter, gave a demonstration of skill and nerve that would do credit to any of the "older heads in the game.
 To c. E. Goodrich, a professional of Atlanta, fell the honor of forcing Jones to extend himself. Of the 300 targets on the first days programme. these two marksmen finished in a tie, with only 4 lost but though Goodrich on the last day set a pace that should win at any shoot, the fatal loss of one target gave him second place.
 H. D. Gibbs, professional, by his good work yesterday, brought himself up next in line with total of 4S4, winning out over his nearest competitor, E. R. Holt. arother professional, by barely one tar get
 John R. Livingston, another amateur, and last years champion of Alabama, finished next, with 4S2, closely followed by W. T. Laslie, of Tuskegee. who for two years previous to Livingston's win, held the championship of the state, and
 John K. Warren of Birmingham, who on Tuesday won the championship for 1914, by defeating Livingston in the shoot off of their tie on 97 out of 100. These two amateurs each scored 4S0 out of 800.
 w. T. Laslie topped all the amateurs by breaking all of his first 120 on the Wednesday programme, which added to the last 20 of Tuesday gave him the nice run of 140 straight
 The feature event of the programme was the Alabama handicap to which the gun club added the sum of $50, $50 of which went to the winner. $40 to second, s30 to third $20 to fourth, $1O to fifth high gun.

 The latest rumor is that the Federals are willing to compromise with or ganized baseball. 1t is understood that the Feds, by the means of an emis- sary, have approached organized ball and made 1t plain that if Charles Weeghman of Chicago and the Wards of Brooklyn are taken care of by the big leagues, that the Feds will say adieu.
 It Is not the policy of the baseball powers to submit to the requests of the outlaws. The majors have signed enough men to contracts for 1915 to as- sure a continuance of the game with out any trouble from the Federals. They will not suffer next season as they have in 1914 and are not expected to listen to any offers of compromise. However. the minors will suffer as heavily as this year
 A heavy blow is impending over the minor leagues. The majors are going to have law enacted that unless a minor league recruit reports to the majors, the purchase price will not be
