at a reported price Of Sc, 500, and from
that moment on he was through" as

LEFTY Russell was wonderful minor
league pitcher. Connie Mack bought
him for $4,000, and Russell did not
pitch good game all the time he was
with the Athletics.
Marquard Shoulders Handicap.
RUDE Marquard was one of the great
est pitchers that ever labored in the
minors. The Giants bought him for
$1,000. lie entered the majors and
pitched like a bushcr for awhile. If
McGraw hadn't been wonderfully pa
tient with him Marquard would have
been sent back.
Larry Chappelle, the outfelder, cost
the White SoN something like $4,000.

Joe Tinker seemed to be in the prime
OF his career as ban player at the
end Of the 1913 season. Garry Herr
mann sold him to Charley Ebbets for
$4,000. Then Tinker jumped to the
Feds. Tinker played in a trife more
than half of.the Sames during the 1914
season and his playing seemed to lack
the dash and fire Of 1913.
Cy Seymour and Spike Shannon cost
the Giants $4,000 apiece, but shortly
after they were purchased began Slip
ping, although at the time the deal
was made both looked good for many
more years In major league company

! ours Truly,
II. G. HARRINGTON.

Mr.. Bensons generosity is shown in an
article in the Cle1mont Clarion under the
heading Something New which reads as
follows:
Everyone who has travelled much has
seen the sign take one" placed over a
collection Of real estate folders, etc, SO
often that they are apt to pass such
sign by without paying especial attention
to 1t. Those, however, who pass the ones
recently put out by Isaiah Benson on the
boxes of oranges sitting close to the fence
are gqsng to miss some mighty fine fruit
Mr.. Benson's grove is one of the largest
IN Clermont and each tree is well filled
with delicious fruit. Mr.. Benson has al
ways been liberal with the fruit, but this
year has conceived the idea of placing
boxes, well filed, near the fence so that
passersby need not look with longing
eyes, but may reach out and partake.
This idea Is good one. and other grove
owners may well follow his example.
Hundreds of perfectly good oranges are
wasted each year IN every grove-and
hundreds of hungry boys and girls, and
men and women wish they might eat
them Let others follow Mr. Benson 5
example.

help but note the enterprise shown by
the business men Of this city. Their
stores seem to have taken on q differ
ent air. the windows are prettily dec
Grated. and here and there etchinn OF

cheer to the holiday season. which ID
fast approaching.
7, Better do your shopping now and
avoid the rush. which u sure to come
at the last minute. The selections are

In which to make . good choice Of

When making purchases. think Of
your home town. Every nickls spsnt

perity Of this city.
Circulate your money At home.
What is spent with the grocer today
will pass ON to the butcher or baker
tomorrow. and he. In turn. will need
your services. and return part Of that
money. 1t behooves us to think Of
one another and exercise real cooper
alton.
ANY city that adopts the buy at

prosperity. What 4 sauce for the

tion In it, fullest sense.
One Of the reasons Why Klamath
Falls today IL prosperous. Why she u
forging ahead when towns ON the
main line are suffering decline, Il due
to the fact that in proportion to the
population. this city's business houses
enjoy a greater patronage from the
city proper and environs than any
town on the main line has the pleas-
ure Of doing. Homo Industry mer-
chandising also creates . feeling Of
good fellowship. BUY AT HOME.

What the War
Moues Mean
BY J. w. +. MASON
(Written for the United Preas)

NEW YORK. Dec. 13.-Indications
are that the allies general war coun-
ell is meeting with the common fate
Of coalitions, and II falling TO satisfy.
Persistent reports from Paris report
serious differences of opinion among
the military leaders. In fact. the
council is proving itself NO grand
general star for direction Of the war.
but instead an exchange bureau for
examination Of policies. The council
now is engaged in examining the ad-
visibility Of continuing the Balkan
campaign. Meantime. British and
French forces are being hurled hack
from southern Serbia.
This examination into the Balkan
problem, however, 10 not Q matter of
determining how to defeat the Teu-
tons and Bulgars. but rather what d
good for the individual allies.
A truly united policy. acceptable to
all the allies b impossible. Russia
wants the Balkan situation continued
for the sake Of her prestige in that
region. while the other allies are not
entirely content with continuing on
and neglecting possibilities Of another
major offensive In the west. Britain
takes . leading part in opposition TO
Russia's desire to have the Balkan
campaign continue at all costs. Italy
10 reluctant TO contribute men % long
as the central allies keep out OF Al
bania. the territory on which she
keeps her Jealous eye. At the same |
time. France wants TO reserve her
forces for her own defense.
A compromise. therefore, would
eave missivings. II not actual suspi-
Ion among the contending groups.
Each one Of the allies. however. can
lot oppose Russia with an easy mind.
or despite her agreements will all the
ther enteats powers. she might make
separate peace 10 thwartsd In her
