a time in every boys life when he
needs his father, and that time is
most of the time, when he is in petit
coats, when he is in short trousers and
especially when he dons his first long
ones. If the father is not the one
nearest the boys heart, it may be
some one whose influence is not so
good, because his interest cannot be
SO great, nor his vision so wide The
father-and-son business is not some
thing for one day in the year, and
that at banquet; 1t ought to be
something for every day in the year

.b|G LEAGUE HEADS PREDICT
BANNER YEAR IN BASEBALL
Johnson's Statement.
by B. B. Johnson, President of the
American League

AucllCdu Lcd9uc.l
CHICAGO, April 11.-Viewed from
ball season of 1915 should be highly
successful for a revival of interest in
the game is apparent. II have read
rightly the signs along the trail, that
revival will be revealed in the early
days of the season and we in the
| American league hope the sport is
due to flourish as it f1ourished in
| 1912 and 1913. the banner years in
the history Of the great national
game.
| In giving expression to this opinion
i do not mean to imply that any at
tendance records will be shattered,
] for the game is now emerging from
a period of storm and stress that
lasted two years and necessarily its
rehabilitation with the fans must be
| gradual.
Not that baseball ever lost caste
with the public. Far from it. But
somehow it seemed to get away from
the people in 1914 and 1915 due in
great measure to the distressing con-
ditions prevailing in those years.
There can be no doubt that baseball
is still as firmly enshrined in the
heart Of every red-blooded American
as it ever was and l think the COM
ing season Will prove unquestionably
the truth of this assertion.
If 1 were asked what sort of race
we expected to have this year in the
American league, my reply would be:
"a race full Of thrills and surprises"
This reply would be predicted on
a thorough study which l have made
of the strength, first line and reserve,
of every one of our eight teams. In
almost every one of the eight there
was an infusion of new blood during
the winter months and now, from my
viewpoint, it seems as If the playing
strength is more equally distributed
than in any previous year of the last
decade.
Predicts Spirited Battles.
There is only one inference to be
drawn from this equalization Of.
power and that is that there will be
spirited battle for our championship
"a battle perhaps such as the Amer
lean league has not known since 1908
when four clubs, Detroit, Chicago,
Cleveland and ST. Louis, raced neck
and neck in a spectacular dash for
the pennant, almost to the closing
day Of that exciting and sensational
campaign.
Of-hand / should say there are SIX
clubs in the American league which
have a chance this season for our
pennant, and the added honor Of TAX
ing part in the worlds series in Oc-
tober, and to whichever club the
honor may fall, I feel confident that
when the series is ended, the worlds
championship now held by the Boston
club will still remain in possession

MILITARY SERVICE AND PHYSICAL DIsQUALIFI-
A.

GX1IrH the two battalions Of the Organized Militia
w under training at the State Rife Range few
miles below New Castle military authorities here are
anxious for the eight companies to be recruited up to
the fun strength, 14l each.
Already there has been a large number Of men,
prominent in all walks Of life who stirred by pa
trotic impulse, have responded to the appeal for
stmens. When the companies OF the First Battalion
paraded down Market street on Wednesday and again
yesterday, many OF the were fresh from offices,
stores and workshops These men all tried and
found true with red blood running through their
veins. While they and their families will remember
the painful eave-taking for years 10 come. the
themselves are TO be honored for the patriotism
which prompted them to respond to their country's
call.
While the recruiting continues, those who. mem
bers of the ORGANIZED Militia, were rejected as well
others who were refused enrolment in the force
OF fighters account OF physical defects, were as
brave as those who preparing go to the front
OF the rejected men, many too light in weight
too short IN stature Some had defective eyesght or
other disqualifying ailments. By presenting them
selves for military service for their country in its
hour of need however they have earned the right to
be known and recognized as true Americans who
willing TO fight for their native land and who
only were prevented doing so by physical disability.
In no should they be confounded with slack
who purposely evade service

sponsibe body. put under oath and directed to tell
lust what he does receive for the work he does for
the High School ianitor That responsible body also
might ascertain exactly what Mrs Oliver and Ann Nc
sorley receive out OF ianors salary the work
they do. We are informed that OF those women

she is receiving &c.
Another point that should be inquired into is wheth

maely SO a week the year round extra" help and
So what part OF that extra" help money represents
money deducted from the regular help for lost time
The matter Of school supplies for which the anor
says he pays out OF his $500 salary, also will bear
analytical investigation. especially in view Of the item
relative to the barrel OF Clipped soap, referred to by
the expert accountant.
Nor should George Oliver he overlooked The iani-

Oliver works twelve fun months year. which he

II the Chamber OF Commerce really wishes to do a
bit Of useful work It will look closely into the
statement made expert by the High School iani-
tor and how much Of the $4,000 the ianitor
receives really goes regular help; how much really
goes for extra help; how much really for sup
plies; Of what those supplies consist and how much
OF the $500 the antor has for himself after he has
paid for those things.
In addition the Chamber should ascertain why II is

from being clean. fact that is a matter OF general
comment among teachers and pupils.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your bair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil (which is pure and
entirely greaseless). is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub il in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle OF dust dirt. dandruff and
excessive oil The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves II fine and
silky. bright, fluffy and easy TO man
age.
You can get mulsiied cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. II is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough
TO last everyone in the family for
months.

NO DICTATION.

No DlCIAIlON.
From the Newark Post.
Picking candidates for the rural
districts for the coming campaign
seems to be an energetic pas
time OF some of our Wilmington
friends. Judging from past observa-
tiOn, this activity will have but little
effect in Pencader hundred. Speak
ing for the Republicans, II is prided
fact that the voters usually decide
this matter for themselves. With ev-
cry campaign, Court House political
observers pick man and forward in
structions for his nomination and
election. Curiously enough, the vot-
ers have selected their own man and
what is more, elected him. "The most
Independent district in the State" is
a comment often said sneeringly but
Pencader takes keen pride in the rep
utation.
It is believed that this campaign
will duplicate the success OF other
years. Any outside influence, prompt
ed by selfish ends will be disastrous
and sternly resented by the better
element OF the citizns What Penca-
der should or should not do, can be
best judged by the voters themselves
As Republicans. with minds set on
Republican victory. they have no in
clination to change their policy here

minds tends toward defeating this
success will be met with stern re-
buke.
