Review of Year.

HevieW OF year
President Justice reviewed the past
year in straightforward manner be-
fore the election yesterday.
He stated that he had always en-
deayored to conduct his office in an
honorable and business-like manner;
that he had attempted and felt GER
tain that he had enforced the rules
of the league in forceful yet i'm
partial way; and that he had kept
in touch with all laws Of baseball
SO that he would be prepared, on
behalf of the league, in seeing that
the affairs Of the circuit were con-
Quoted along the right lines. He eiab-
Grated on the claim that the salary
limit has always been bone of con-
tention and strongly urged that the
directors of the clubs keep the salary
limit within the sum stipulated. In
making this request he said that he
had the welfare of the league in mind
and that it not only was matter of
right principle, but a vital necessity
that the baseball men in the various
cities practice economy. He stated
that he had no apologies to offer for
any of his decisions while in office
as he has conducted the league af-
fairs to the best Of his ability. his
actions being based on the principle
Of baseball law and that of right

New Game In Boys Classes.
The game OF Newcomb, called so
because il was originated in Newcomb,
Tulane University, is being intro.
.duced into the boys classes at the Y,
and Is well liked. It resembles both
volley ball and basket ball, and is a
good training for the latter, as the
game embodies lot of throwing and
catching the ball. There is no op-
portunity for personal contact with an
Opponent, however, and thus the
lrougher element OF basketball is
eliminated. Any number can play the
game, and its adaptibility to gym and
playground work is remarkable.

His Majesty the Hoo.

Omaha Bee: While F. w. Coburn's
panegyric on the hog may sound just
trihe fanciful. as if the great agri-
cultural realist had for a moment
taken advantage of the poetic license
he always carried with him, no truth
was ever more plainly told than In
Mr.. Coburn's summing up Of the vir-
tues, the advantages and the accom-
plishments of his majesty. the hog.
Best sellers are full Of cattle barons,
and even the purse proud fockmaster
occasionally gets look in for his
woolly beasts, but since the days of
Gurth the swineherd. no owner Of
real pigs has figured in literature.
The Parker variety is not the kind
we're talking about. While steers and
sheep fill the gaps in galloping ro-
nance, swine fill the larder, feed the
multitude and turn the neglected
trifles about the farm into cash that
will be accepted at the bank. Lifting
the mortgage is the best thing the
modern porker does. just as his il
favored progenitor used to find his
forte in lifting the gate. From hazel
splitter and razorback to Duroc and
Jersey is not such a far cry, but a
world of effort measures the distance
in utility. Mr.. Coburn performed q

A SMALL ELECTRIC MOTOR.

Ivan T. Nedland, OF Hillsboro, n. D.,
has completed tiny electric motor,
said to be the smallest in the world,
which weighs but 51s grains, complete.
This tiny machine is finished in gold
and will run at high speed when con-
nected to a small fiashlight battery.
r The commutator has four segments
made of gold. each segment being in
sulated with mica. Fibre is used as
insulation between the commutator
and shaft; also between the end pieces
and the commutator. The commutator
is built up in the same way as in any
other motor, no glue or cement having
been used in its construction. The
diameter OF the commutator Is $4,000
in, and it is mounted on a pivot
steel shaft, $1,000 in. in diameter.
The armature has four poles and is
wound with No. 40 silk covered wire.
The diameter of the armature Is 90
1000 inches. The weight of the shaft,

.plete is IL grains. The motor has
two field coils between the armature
and yoke. The brushes are made OF

INCONSISTENCY

When you so to your grocer nova
days to buy sack Of -four you pay
more than you did two years ago be-
cause, says the provision man, the
war has so enlarged the demand that
prices have Increased accordingly.
When you go to the automobile man
t. buy gasoline he tells you that you
Will have to pay six or eight cents a
gallon more than you did one year ago
because the war has cut off the sup
ply Of crude petroleum formerly OBJ
tanned In Europe, and consequently the
finished product costs more.
When you go to the clothing mer-
chant to cover your back-it must be
covered, regardless of expense-he
tells you that your suit will cost you
a little more this year because the OK
pense OF manufacture has increased
greatly since the war began. Fabrics
are harder TO obtain, dyes almost are
out of reach, labor Is moro costly. etc.
And the purchaser Of clothing must
help foot tho bills.
When you go to the dry goods mer-
chant to make your regular and nee
essary purchases you meet the same
experience and receive the same ex-
PLANTATION. Everywhere you bump up
against the war that is being fought
eight thousand miles away, but you
realize how commerce in this country
can be affected, so you grin and bear It.
But, says the Cedar Rapids Co.
zette, when you go back to any one
OF these business men and inform him
that the general costs OF publication
have been increasing rapidly for three
years. that ink costs more because OF
the chemical process Of its manufac-
ture and the scarcity OF foreign chem
icals, that lead (Which newspapers
use by the thousands Of pounds) has
about nifty per cent In price.
that labor costs from three to ten per
cent more, that the expense Of collect
ing news Is far heavier throughout
than It was before the war placed such
a tax On news-gathering agencies, and
that you are compelled. because OF
your ambition to survive, to increase
the price Of your advertising-then
you are On the doubtful side OF the
fence.

EXTRA PAY DAY This WEAR.

EXTRA PAY DAY THIS YEAR.
Many who are In the habit OF
drawing their wages every Saturday
evening may not have noticed it or
may not have had their attention
called to the fact that this year Of
1915 brings an extra pay day. there
being ffty-threo Saturdays in the
fifty-two weeks Of the year. A news
paper man VINO has been investi-
eating the calendar says:
This present year Of 1915 contains
much Of interest and uniqueness to
the student Of calendar conditions,
not the least Of these being in con-
nection with the movable feast of
Easter Sunday. Ash Wednesday and
Easter Sunday were established by
the council of Nice, A. D. 325. the
former always to occur forty-six ad-
vance days Of Easter Sunday and the
latter flxed by solar and lunar calcu-
lations. Easter days shall occur. ac-
cording to the Nicene laws. annually
on the first Sunday on or after the
first full moon on or after the vernal
equinox. which Is always March 81.
From this 1t will be seen that the
earliest date on which Easter may
fall is March Fl and the latest date
Is April Is. This year Ash wednes-
day will come March 8 and Easter
Sunday April rs. The next period in
which Ash Wednesday will come as
late as March 8 is the year 2106

the compilers Of the Gregorian calen-

Of forty years between leap years

THE TEST TIME.

THE TEST TIME.
When things aren't coming your way
And others are getting tho luck,
When you're facing a terrible day,
That is the time for your pluck,
For the test of your courage is strife
And the test of your nerve Is de
spafr;
o, the time to be strong
is when everythings wrong,
For troubles are sent you to bear
It's when you are down you must
fight,
It is when you are second or third
And first place is slipping from sight
ihat your courage to action is
stirred.
1t is then that you need ali your
grit,
1t is then you must do all you can;
o. the time to be brave
Is when prospects are grave,
For troubles the test of man.
The coward is brave in success.
The timid can smile with a lead.
But they wilt in the face Of distress.
For they're lacking the courage
they need.
o, life is game that men play.
And not till it's over they stop;
o, it's when he Is low
That a real man will show
The courage to get to the top.
The moments that count are the
tense,
Still minutes that come to us all,
When our fate hangs in dreadful sus-
penSe
And it's ours then to rise or fall.
When everything on us depends,
1t is then we must whisper: Il
can"
To us all comes this test
Soon or late, for our best
For this is the proof of man.
