Do not make a younger boy wear his
older brothers clothing which the

where every cent counts, this cannot
be helped. Every boy, and we speak
from experience, hates to wear an

Give him his own bureau drawer

teach him habits of orderliness and

These habits are easily learned when

SOUTH BEND WANTED
IN CENTRAL LEAGUE

Announcement by the Central

Minor leagues, that, il the war be-
tween the Federals and organized
baseball is brought to an end, the
league will be extended to eight clubs.
leads to the conclusion that He'll
broner again wishes TO see South
Bend on his circuit. 1t has been
known for sometime that the Central
league head has been anxious TO have
Ed Smith take his club into the class
Il organization, but no definite steps
have ever been taken toward that end.
That Ed Smith. owner Of the South
Bend club, is not overly anxious to
forsake the Southern Michigan league
for the Central which met with dis
astrOus reverses last season, is well
known. He has faith in the class c
circuit and unless considerable in
ducement is offered him by He'll
broner and his colleagues, Smith
probably will remain in the Southern
Michigan.
Just what cities Heilbroner has in
mind for his eight club circuit, in ad-
ditiOn to South Bend, Terre Haute,
Dayton, Fort Wayne, Grand Rapids
and Evansville, are unknown. There
is q possibility OF his considering To-
ledo and either Saginaw or Battle
Creek. Wheeling is understood TO be
anxious TO get back into the Central.
but the distance from the northern
cities at present in the circuit is
thought to be almost prohibitory of
the West Virginia town gaining ad-
mittance.
