The reason? Only the fact that Father
Penn is ut last realizing that Washing
toms Birthday Is just as much n holiday,
and should be enjo ed as such, as any
other similar day on the calendar That
means n round Of candy and toys for
every one of the "kids" and couple of

But in the days Of dancing it means n

EDDIE COLLINS GIVES
BOOZE STRONG WALLOP
Famous Player Urges Temper
ance in Address Before
Church Audience

PALMYRA, N. j., Feb. 21.-Eddie Col
Inns, star second bagger Of the White
Sox and formerly a member of the Ath-
letics' 100000 infield, made a home-run
hit with 500 persons who heard him break
into the Gospel team league yesterday
afternoon in his first venture as a plat
form speaker before a church audience
They applauded like worlds series fans
when he handed booze" some wallops
that would have done credit to BILLY"
Sunday.
That BILLY" himself could not have
been on the bleachers to cheer Eddie
was keen disappointment TO the great
evangelist, who sent a message through
the Rev. S. Monroe Vansant, pastor of
the Epworth Methodist Church, express
ing his delight at the idea that great play
ers like Collins would come out as pub
lie exponents of clean living.
II come TO bring a message to your
young people from n baseball players
viewpoint OF the necessity of clean lIv-
ing, and I'll be glad II anything l can
say will help any of you fight the bat
tie of life under the right rules" he
said.
life is a whole lot like playing base
ball under Connie Macks orders. Mack
is the greatest baseball general the
world has ever known, and any man
who has ever played on the old Ath-
letics honors, respects and loves the
boss. Connie has established an honor
system in the Athletics that keeps his
men in the best physical trim through
out the year. He gives his players a
set of rules at the beginning of the
season, then he says:
Boys, give me the best you've got You
know enough TO keep in condition, and
you've got to be in condition 10 put it

Dealers Swamped With Orders for Souvenirs to Cele-
brate Holiday in Commemoration of the
Father of His Country

Fortunate 1t was that some paraEraphcr
way back in the early days Of the last
century started. for lack of news. the
story that George Washington incurred
the stern displcsure Of Father Washing
ton by blithely chopping down fathers
favorite cherry tree with his hatchet and
receiving the usual punishment in lieu
of the gratitude that should have been
shown him. As with the other stories Of
George, there Is a certain degree Of ro-
nance between the beginning and the
end.
Father" sobbed George. as he rubbed
the spot where the hickory had descend
ed, 81 did it. I cannot tell n lie"

mortal helmsman Of the colonies fairly
breathe the thing. Crossing the Della

All of which has descended for genera

But not far in the rear troop up scores
of new things to aid in the celebration of

Plaster stumps (painted, of course) of

backbone of the novelties but the sugared
replica of the thrce-cOrncred Continental
hat and the soldier HIMSELF standing in a

thing new to the fore. Then there are
new ideas in placecards. stickers and even
some fine little versical cards to send to

WAGNER SECURES SALOON Ii
CENSE AT COLDWATER

After a deadlock of several weeks
the County Liquor License Commits
sion last Saturday granted F. w.
Wagner a license to conduct a sa-
loon at Coldwater. The town was
permitted a third saloon under a
census recently taken. which increas-
ed their population to 1904. There
were four applicants-F. W. Wagner,
P p. Hendricks, F. J Rosenbeck and
Michael Link,
Commissioners Short and Gilberg
could not get together on a choice
and the Station Commission through
Commissioner B. L. ClenDenning, ap-
pointed former Republican County
Commissioner R. L. Mattingly to
help decide the matter.
Mr. Wagner was put out of busi-
ness when the number of saloons was
cut down under the new law several
years ago. He is one of Coldwater's
most prominent men, is member of
the Village council and Democratic
Central Committeeman from that vii
laGe.
