BALL PLAYERS AND THE TRUST.

Organized baseball has been called
the worst trust of ALL since il is the
only one able to secure a monopoly
of flesh and blood. The suit of the
Federal league to break up the bodies
operating under the National agree
ment is an event in American athletic
history.
Ordinarily the sports settle their
own quarrels. by the codes prevailing
in their own field. Baseball is so
deeply ingrained in our life that the
courts have TO determine its more
serious disputes.
The ball players have been called
white slaves" Yet il is hard 10 get
excited over the sufferings OF men
working for $4,000 TO $4,000 per.
Professional baseball years ago was
little better than prize fighting. Pool
and liquor selling backgrounds was the
general rule. Ball players We're re-
garded as rowdies. and very frequent
Is lived up TO their reputation.
Today baseball is on a far higher
basis. Many college men and other
fellows cf high character have turned
IL into reputable business. Stin
there is tendency 10 regard agree
ments loosely. and contract jumping
has been very common.
IL is quite possible that in order to
maintain a needed discipline, the big

intimate and secluded affairs. The
young and the old have jolly parties
But in middle life there is an at
mosphere of coincidence and effort
at cheerful philosophy
The refusal of women 20 give their
age to the census taker is a periodi-
cal joke. due for publication again in
the next national count in 1920.
Many women will leave untitled the
blanks for their age in legal docE-
ments, taking the risk of invalidating
the paper
This feeling is manifest in a thou
sand ways. and is often carried be-
yond the grave Every newspaper
reporter recalls cases where the rela-
tives would not tel the age Of the
deceased, out of respect TO the keen
ness of her regret at the growing
years The obituary reporter recog-
nizes that any woman's age is an in
teresting news item to her acquaint-
ances. Being human, he usually sup
presses unpleasant facts when asked.
Men are less sensitive about their
age, but often have some reluctance
TO having it known. You never threw
out hints TO find out what birthday
your neighbor is celebrating. In
some towns lists of tax payers or vCt-
ers give ages. and. answer all such
queries. Such lists are read with
much attention. particularly by the
minated element of women. If pub
lie men entertain any sensitiveness
about birthdays. they never show it.
Their age is public property, and they
learn 70 get over the minor human
weaknesses.
So when a president has a birthday,
he no doubt sees it in the true light.
1t is not an occasion for regret, for
any person who has lived wOrthily.
Rather it is a time for joy, for perils
escaped, results achieved.

OUR attention has been recently
called 10 social phenomenon con-
slstlng or peculiar matrimonial con-
dluon existing between rural and ur-
ban communities. IL has been OBJ
served that country boys and girls in
frequently intermarry with town boys
and girls. Generally speaking the two
classes keep sedulously TO themselves.
THE next social reform which
sweeps across the country should
consider this question. There are
reasons why country boys should mar
~ town girls and town boys marry
country girls. The mere fact that a
girl is brought up in the town or
country is not a conclusive reason that
she should remain there. on the con-
trary her preference and predictions
should be considered and opportunity
given her for development in the
environment best suited TO her.
THERE are country girls who never
will be contented out side of town
life. They are just naturally built
that way And there are town girls
who. if denied the desire OF their
hearts. Will always have a PARKWAY
look in their eyes, which see beyond
the pentup confines of the town and
are Illed with VISIONS OF green ueIdS
and azure skies.
LOOK around a bit, boys There
may be more psychology in this than
you think
THE third house at the present
session of the legislature is said TO be
the largest and most brilliant that
has assembled in years and as full of
business as the farthest south point
il a bee. And the members of this
house are so genial and optimistic as
to be almost irresistible. Fortunately
however for the good of the common.

their species. Lobbying is slowly be-

FEW of US will dissent with Charles

leisure TO reflect upon the ordinance

the officers arrived on the scene the

that discretion was the better part of

A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH

If YOU have catarrh don't be misled

seldom, if ever, bring any lasting
benefit To effect a cure use a reme-

If you have catarrh in any form go
to your druggist and get one ounce of
Parmint Double Strength), take this
home and add to it IA pint OF hot
water and 4 ounces of sranulated
sugar: stir until dissolved. Take a
tablespoonful four times a day,
The first dose should begin TO re-

Loss of smell. defective hearing and
mucus dropping in the back of the
throat are other symptoms that show
the presence of catarrh and which
may be overcome by the use Of this
simple treatment. Every person who
has catarrh should give this prescrip-
