NOTES OF w. G. T. u.
MEETING HELD MONDAY

The regular meeting of the w. c.
r. U. was held at the Methodist
church Monday March 16. These meet.
ings are well attended and very in
teresting.
Mrs. Aten has visited all the an
nual meetings held by the different
locals in the county and gave short
account of each. There is certainly
great interest among. the women not
only of the w. C. T. u, but also those
of the Ten Thousand Club in this
fight. 1t is said that all indorsed
the resolution for dry California with
the exception of one.
There is much dissatisfaction about
the loads of beer and whiskey brought
into Ell Centre on the stages. Steps
will have to be taken in some way to
stop this practice. GERTIE DAVIS

There is nothing to conceal the fact
that baseball is a business, one of the
biggest in the country, if not the big
gest. The Federal league, acting as
champion of the player, came across
and hiked the ante skyward this win
ter. Now if some one starts Federal
league for the fans there will be some
thing doing. Old ball players here for
the recent home coming of the Giants
and White Sox were wailing loudly
over the fate which put them in their
prime before the golden age. Present
day players would not accept the sal
aries of Amos Rusic, Anson and others
of the old crew as expense money.
But as these words, phrases, clauses
and sentences have sought to intimate,
there must be limit.
Just how brakes are going to be
put on we wouldn't attempt to say,
but it's cinch when baseball salaries
get all out of proportion to other pro-
fessions or vocatiOns the pendulum
will begin to swing back. All the
leagues with the exception of the Ma
tional, American and Federal now
have salary limit, and there is also
the possibility of the well known pub
lie kicking through with the sugges-
ton that if such remuneration for
ball players is possible under the ex-
isting scale of admission to ball parks,
why not lob off quarter change to
quarter baseball?"

you a large bottle of something and

What? Certainly we knew you had.

What would you say to that same

geld piece because it is larger.
Such an attempt being a reflection
upon your good nj you would prob
ably say some rather pointed things to
him. You would be justified. Your
s~elf-respect would demand it.
Well, there are just as many good
reasons for the difference in size be-
tween those bottles as there are for
the difference in size between the
silver dollar and the five dollar gold
piece.
The truth is that the large bottle
isn't half large enough.
There IS more virtue in a half pint

Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian
Affairs, sends out the following letter
to Superintendents in the Indian ser
vice, throughout the land:
To Superintendent:
You should now be arranging for
your Indian fair, and | desire to i'm
press upon you my idea of the pur-
pose and possibilities of these exhi-
billions.
want these fairs so conducted as
to open to the Indians the vision of
the industrial achievements to which
they should aspire. | want them to
be an inspiration in arousing in the
Indian a clear appreciation Of the
great opportunity before him for real
industrial advancement. @
Land Basis of Wealth.
The ownership of land always has
been and always must be the princi-
- pal basis OF mans wealth. "A wise
development of the vast natural re-
sources Of the Indian reservations has
tremendous possibilities. The In
dams rich agricultural lands, his vast
areas Of E4ass land, his great forests
n his practically ~ntOucle mineral
resources should be so utilized as to
become a powerful instrument for his
civilization.
| hold it to be an economic and So
cial crime, in this age and under mod
ern conditions, to permit thousands Of
acres Of fertile lands belonging to the
Indians and capable Of great indus
trial development to lie In unproduc-
tive idleness.
With kAen appreciation of these
conditions, Congress in the current
appropriation bill has made available
for the Indians over 100000 as a re-
imbursable fund, and $25O,000 add
tional for general and specific indus

The breaking Of the dykes and the
rushing to arms Of 2 small but heroic
nation like the Dutch would indeed
be a fit climax, according to sentl-

Of Europe. But ,the Dutch are ready
for the sacrifice, and the first overt
action against the sovereignty Of
their country or the security Of their
nation IL, bound to be met in this man

the belief that another siege Or Ley
