PLAN TO PROTECT
INNOCENT BUYERS
State Land Board Asked to
Withdraw Big Law
Suit.

saIem.-A tentative proposition was
made to the state land board to have
the state withdraw proceedings for re-
covery Of 20, 1000 of the 10000 acres In
volved in the Hyde. Benson dummy
frauds, upon the payment Of $3.50 an
acre by the innocent purchasers. The
consent Of the government Is neces-
sary before the state can carry out the
agreement.
A report Of the purchasers asserted
that they had secured the school
tracts In good faith. and that to push
the suit to recover title would be to
infiict a hardship on them. Some OF
the tracts have passed through sever.
al hands, Il 10 said.

 The present policy of retrench- I1entn Of the major leagues recalls the period following the close Of the long and financially disastrous warfare be- tween the National and American leagues. It was just a dozen years ago, come tomorrow. that the so- called Cincinnati peace conapact,' was signed and sealed, and the docu- ment put an end to the era Of high salaries for baseball players. During the war. the star players had been able to demand almost any salary within reason Or beyond 1t. but the peace compact put a sudden tern1ina- ton to that. happy condition of affairs. The high-dying players came down to aries remained on 3, somewhat higher level than they had been before the Johnson uprising, they were far from what the players had been able to de- mand in war days.
 Gilmore and his financial packers have been accused of being somewhat reckless in their distribution of the coin of the realm in Sorder to induce the stars to leave their happy homes in the old leagues and cast in their lots with the Feds but MT. Byron Bancroft Johnson, the ex1baseball re- porter, was also something of a spend- CT in those days when he was launch- ing his new league Ban was willing to risk the very last dollar of his packers and when he declared war on the National League he issued or- ders to the club owners to go after good players absolutely regardless of expense Salaries scared, doubled, trebled and auadrupled Great play CTS hesitated to sign contract calI- ing for many times their former saI- ary for fear that by holding out little longer they could get more. The fight continued until the National League, licked ito frazzle., was willing to talk peace. Ban Johnson realized that the days of wild spending had to end. 50 he net the overtures of the old league half way. It was q glad i day for the nnagnastes and the fans when peace was finally concInded- but a sad one for the players One day they were drinking champagne. and the next they were kicking be- cause the barlseep gave enn too much foam on their lager.

REFUSED TO TAKE ADVICE
Foxes, Unlike Men, Could Not See
Things From the Viewpoint
of the Politicians.

The foxes we're new to politics, and
so they listened to the advice of the
politicians.
"The thing for you to do" declared
these, sis to belong to parties and al
ways vote the straight ticket"
The foxes thought a moment. IF
we do So" they objected, "are we not
in danger of voting, inadvertently, for
yellow dogs now and then? OF course,
we don't wish to vote for yellow
dogs"
"Of course not" replied the politi-
clans. There's no danger-none in
the world. If you really and truly be-
long to a party it follows that there
are no yellow dogs in that party, and
if there are no yellow dogs in the
party, how are you going to vote for
such, provided you always vote the
straight ticket?"
But the foxes were not convinced
Indeed, after thinking a little more
they resolved to have nothing to dc
with parties.
This fable teaches that foxes are
sometimes foxier than men. - New

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
traIize Irritating Acids-Splendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck Of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very p~rofuse; again, there Is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina'
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu'
tralize the acids in the urine so 1t nc
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes ne
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves
cen Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.
