Several Of the clubs are inquiring as
to the 1ul particulars Of what they viii
have to do to conform TO the rules and

The following clauses from the re-
Vised National association agreement
are applicable to this league:
Article So. leagues must sup

their business offices and playing
grounds. II practicable; the monthly
salary limit for its club teams and a
pledge or agreement for the mainten-
2nce OF said salary limit and a faith

It viii thus be seen that il is desira-
bic that ali clubs organize stock com

official delegate from each club to the
league executive.

The drafting season opens Sept. p
for class A teams and closes for class

Growing Some.

In an article on The growth of
American Industry, Samuel Crow
ther writing ia the Commercial
Appeal Magazine, makes the fol-
lowing observations which might
be read with profit by calamity
howlers, and those who are remov-
ing their eyes from inviting light
and peering into the dark. We are
great people about not discover
ing the advantages and opportuni-
ties of our great country, and more
especially is this true when we are
considering our own locality, where
we utterly fail in our appreciation
of the prodigal agencies for the ac-
cumulation of a competency and
wealth that are spread out in every
direction. We are SO blinded by
our prejudices against our home
resources that we can not see the
medium of livelyhood placed in
easy reach, and we feel as If we
are ready to surrender at the mere
approach of failure. We can see
diamonds in other fields, but can
never can get our vision sufficient
" adjusted to see the diamonds at
our own doors. This depreciatlve
vision reaches out, in times OF
stringency, and covers the nation
We can see disaster ahead-otten
cry "wolfY' when there is no volt
in sight-and we nurse this dis
ease until half of our pluck and
energy is used up in lamentatlon,
and we are unable to move over
the detraction which has ensued.
Why such spirit should exist is
an appeal to the greatest astonlsh-
ment. There is everything in our
immediate surroundings to appeal
to our intelligence, resolution and
business ability, and.yet the most
ramnnerative resources are allowed
to 90 undeveloped. Lay hold! Lay
hold, man, of the wheel of progress
at home, and when the wave OF
prosperity comes sweeping along
NAV you will get tangled up in
acme of its outgushings.

money without bringing posperlty
into every business. The work
ingman who has steady employ
ment spends his money freely; the
capitalists finds he has more money
to put into new enterprises. The
corner grocer gets his share OF the
benefit of a fifty mlllion-dollar
order for rifles; the money is
reaching through every business
and every walk of life. The flow
is Just beginning but the signs are
all about; stocking manufacturer
was forced the other day to de-
cline very large order from Eng
land because he was filled for
months to come with new domestic
orders.
Building is usually the trailer OF
boom; no one starts to build un-
til he is quite cure that he really
has money. Building fell Oft
heavily in 1914; now the builders
are busy with estimates and speak
of many new projects afoot. The
steel trade is always held to be the
barometer of business; it is now
working at ninety per cent of its
full capacity.
The increased amount OF money
is permitting the financing of many
nations which had depended on
ENGLAND and Germany for loans;
in every case the loans are for the
purpose of buying American goods
and consequently our trade has
extended to many countries not at
war. We have loaned money to
each of the nations at war, but we
have also loaned to Argentia, Pan
anna. Bolivia, Costa Rica, Switzer-
land. Sweden, and Norway, and we
will shortly lend to the Orient.
The loans have established the
credit of these nations with the
United States and they have
bought literally. Our exports for
the month of June, 1915, were
s142,OOO,OOO as compared win
s6O,OOOO,OOO year ago; it is the
largest volume of exports for one
month in the history of the coun-
try. This is in spite of the fact
