PLAN TWO DIAMONDS

In lieu of the basketball league
which was planned earlier IN the year
and which was postponed on account
of iuclcment weather. the city schools
will start series Of playground ball
matches March 1. The schedule prob
ably will last through spring.
Playground ball has been the most
popular sport ever introduced into the
grade schools and il is probable that
the high school grounds, where the
games will be played, will again be-
come the scene OF daily crowds of
rooters. This was the case last year
when business men were drawn to the
game hy the excitement OF the en-
thusiastic participants,
The schedule will he under the
supervision OF John W. Rohb. director
of athletics and competent umpires
from the faculty and high school
students will officiate at all games.
Tho games will be played on the
high school grounds. Two diamonds
will he laid out SO that two games
can he played every afternoon. The
matches will begin at i:S0 o'clock.

will try the former on his opponent
first. If it doesn't succeed, then he
will adopt the Kirk style and give
him a taste of his own medicine. as
it were. At any rate, Waugh has had
enough experience to adapt himself
readily to whatever the sailor may
have to offer.
Betting Picking Up.
The betting on this encounter
picked up wonderfully yesterday and
last night. and throughout the day
there were considerable sums placed
at even money. Waugh money was
conspicuous for awhile. but practi-
callv every cent of it was promptly
covered by the coin of Kinks sup
porters There is little probability OF
odds being offered on either before
the bout is called.
There are comparatively few re-
served seats for the show now left
for sale. and you who have failed to
make your reservations should get
busy at the earliest possible moment,
as there is no doubt of a capacity

means of making you stand and pos

The seats will be on-sale today at

Tomorrow morning the racks will be
removed to the ticket office of the
club, on Cincinnati avenue between
First and Second streets, where you
may buy what tickets are left any
time before the beginning of the shot
at $3.50 o'clock.

DDS made it impossible to obtain fruits
and vegetables at moderate price.
The automobile has been great aid
to the distribution of goods over the
state. 1t has helped the retailer and
it has helped the wholesaler. Now
some of the merchants do their own
shopping by means of the motor car,
and frequently drop in at their houses
to personally inspect the goods they
want to buy. And deliveries have been
quickened and stimulated by the use
of the delivery truck in cities OF al.
most every size over the state, and
the trade, to some extent, has been
increased through its use.
Lincoln does not satisfy itself with
reaching in its immediate neighbor-
hood either. Its goods reach far into
the west and south, into Kansas and
north to the Dakotas and into Colo
RADIO and Wyoming. 1t has extended
its trade into channels where few
years ago some of the business men
here thought it could not possibly
go. The goods have made good in
most every line and in almost all
respects. There have been so few
failures that they are negligible as
far as this discussion is concerned.
The slogan has been Good goods at
a reasonable price," and that slogan
has been adhered to straight through
the years.

when they have it. / see that very
clearly"
That is the secret Of Nebraska mer-
chandising nowadays-in these days
of prosperity over the state-and it
is the secret OF the trade which has
developed so marvelously at Lincoln
during the last few vars.
Lincoln is a town of good retail
stores. Starting with the gigantic
new institution which Miller &
Paine have made over in their bright
new home at Thirteenth and o
streets and going from there to insti-
tutions of the same clase, Ridge &
Guenzel's and Herpolsheimer's and
all the way up and down 0 street
and on some Of the side streets now,
one finds modern ideas worked into
every stock.
These ideas have not come from
the desire OF the tradesmen to force
them upon their customers. They
have come because the people are
ready for them. and because they are
availing themselves OF them to the
utmost. The people at Lincoln, as
at other points OF the state, have said
that they wanted these changed and
the storekeepers have responded with
alacrity to their demands. 1t has paid
them to do so. Their trade has been
stimulated by it and it has been
money in their pockets to do so, in
short.
People buy better clothes than they
used to at Lincoln. Men as we'll as
women do that The fair sex have
nothing on the stronger sex when it
comes to draping their backs with the

more business-like conduct of the re-
all trade.
Lincoln jobbers reach territory
which jobbers of many other parts OF
the country would give whole lot to
handle. Lincoln is in the heart of Ne
braska wealth, and Nebraska wealth,
continuing, is in the heart of national
wealth.
In every direction from the city
there are located thriving little towns,
and some of them not so little, where
the bank deposits are exceedingly
high per capita, and where the people
are spending money right and left for
the things they want and the things
they need.
This territory has not been de-
veloped in a day. Many of the Lin
coin jobbers have been built up with
it. They have stuck by the mer-
chants when the times were not so
prosperous and when it was a real
sacrifice to do so. And now that the
times are better and the merchants
have the wherewithal to meet their
bills they are sticking by their old
jobbers and wholesalers in way that
is most commendable Both are shar-
ing now the rewards of business per-
sistency and business justice and both
are glad that they are.
There has been no more remark
able forward stride in all wholesale
and jobbing lines than in these prod
ucts which go on Nebraska tables.
Grocery concerns and fruit jobbers
have increased in number and bust
ness output most astonishingly in the
new era that has come to Nebraska.
Where once not man outside Omaha
knew what grapefruit was--and very
few there knew it intimately-now
that product is eaten from one end OF
the state to the other.
And lettuce no longer looks queer
on winter table set somewhere out
in the state, and it is not a cause for
excessive comment at the small town
grocery any more when some of the
families there have Strawberries and
radishes at the flag end of severe
winter
Syrup has supplanted molasses,
corn syrup taking the place of the
slow running product. Canned goods
are bought by the case in most Ne
braska towns by any number of fam
lilies and stored away for winter use
and fewer mothers stew and fret over

I Farm machinery has beer sent out
of Lincoln in wonderfully large
amounts during the last few years.
Some of the largest concerns in the
world have made this a distributing
point, The big buildings at the state
fair grounds are used a portion of
the year, for instance, for storage of
some of this huge amount and it
would surprise the nonbeliever to take
trip through the grounds some time
during December or January to back
up that statement.
Cooperation has been the word
most used by Lincoln jobbers and
wholesalers during the last decade.
Through the agency of the CONNER
cial club the interests OF the city have
been kept uppermost, and the trade
has been promoted Systematically and
well, with the end in view of getting
recorders.
Lincoln has been impressed upon
the retailers as city of fair bust
nesses, ready to work with them for
the upbuilding of the retail business
and to ultimately make more peole
pleased customers than was ever pos
sible under the old hit-and-miss meth
DDS, and under the old system of
fighting with consumers rather than
making them friendly by making good
goods and selling them right and
backing them up in the proper man.

should be given duties to perform ir

be paid for performing his share Of
the home duties. Each child should
care for his own and should dc
