Yes, shckel or two-and few

just what the Feds have contracted to
pay the speed artist. but it is known
that Washington offered him $4,000 a
year. and he turned il down. because,
It is said, the Feds offered him $1,000
moro.
"No pitcher is worth $4,000 year."
said President Barney Dreyfuss, of the
Pirates. "That is. he isn't worth il as
an individual drawing card. and il was
for that purpose that the Feds tempted
him to jump. Suppose he had signed
with Washington at the figure offered,
and had pitched 40 full games, which
he would not have done. He would
have been paid at the rate of $500 per
game, for every contest he pitched.
That is too much"

This year business conditions mperatvey require early
buying.
This is moment of the greatest dslocaon of Ameri-
can industry by the European war This is the period
when merchants long for customers and manufacturers
year for orders and when employees dread dismissal
Shopping now will not only enable purchasers to select
with care and camness to remember everyone and in
every way get competest satisfaction in the Christmas
buying 1t will also give to all the consciousness that they
are diminishing the area of charity by keeping people at
work at time Of the most urgent need for employment
There is economy not extravaganza in buying early
