BALL PLAYERS NEED YOUNG
WIVES TO HIDE THEIR AGE

A ball players penchant for "
ing about his age is proverbial, but
the testimony of the wife of Ed
Holly in her suit for divorce offers
new angle. She says in her suit
that Holly told her a ball player
had to have a young wife, so he
deserted her and picked up with
girl of more tender years, took her
south with him and passed her off
as his wife, apparently with the
idea that her youth would give the
impression that he also was
youngster. And he seems to have
fooled hem in Mobile at that.

farm LOAN DIRECTORS
FACE RACE QUESTION
Southern Whites Want Negroes to Form
Separate Credit Associations.

The race question is looming up sharply
in connection with the extension of the
new Federal Farm Loan system, it was
learned at the Farm Loan Boards Of
fees yesterday. Under the new system,
farmers Of the country are to form ma
tional farm loan association in order to
take advantage Of the terms Of the rural
credit act. Indications from the South
are that the race line will be drawn.
the whites insisting that the negroes
form segregated associations if they de-
sire to make loans under the government
plan.
The Farm Loan Board has not vet had
the problem laid before It officially, but
recognizes that the division Is inevitab BILE.
Whether refusal of the white organiza-
ttons to permit negroes 10 become mem
bers will cause trouble is not yet clear.
An effort is expected to be made to ar
range for negro organizations under such
leaders Of the race as can be found at
Tuskegee, Hampton and other centers of
learning for the colored race. A large
percentage of Southern farmers are
negroes.
On the eve Of its tour through the
Southern States the Farm Loan Board
yesterday was advised that the South is
enthusiastic over the new system. Two
hundred local farm loan organizations
have been started in South Carolina and
100 in Florida, and the other Southern
States are expected to bring up the total
to 1000 associations for the South.

Georgetown STUDENTS
FORMING CAVALRY Unit
Rev. Dr.. Donlon. Rector of College,
Indorses Organization Plan.

Considerable impetus was given the
movement Of organizing a cavalry troop
among the students at Georgetown
University yesterday, when Sergts. John
Thompson and Ernest H. Coolridge, de-
tailed here on recruiting duty for Troop
A, Of the District Guard, received the
support Of Rev. Alphonsus ]. Donlon,
s. J., rector Of the college. The unit will
be known as Troop c.
Since the idea OF recruiting the troop
from among the students of the school
was launched, interest among the guard
has been Heightened because Of the fact
that IL is believed that many OF the Hill
top athletic favorites will be induced tC
join the troop, thereby stimulating ath-
letics among the militiamen.
The troop has received the in
dorsement OF Brig. Gen. William E. Har-
vey and Maj. Joseph E. Casner, Of the
militia, who have pledged themselves to
aid the movement.
Students at the university anticipate
no trouble in raising the required number
OF men, but believe there will be diff
Guilty IN keeping the number down to the
maximum figure of elghty-eight men.

STOTESBURY A CLERK
JUST so YEARS AGO

Philadelphia, Oct. A--F1fty years ago
today Edward T. Stotesbury began work
as clerk in the banking house of Drexel
& Co., at a salary Of s16 a month. To-
night the employees of the same institu-
ton gave a dinner at the Bellevue-Strat-
ford to honor the former clerk, who now,
as senior member of the firm, is one of
Philadelphia's wealthiest citizens and
one Of the leading financiers of the en-
tire country
1t was Just a private dinner by the
various employees to the head of the firm,
but 1t served as an inspiration to the
ambitious employees, who were told how
man with a purpose and with energy
can rise from a position on q plane with
their own to head one of the leading
private banking houses of the world.
When he was 16 Mr.. Stotesbury finished
in the Friends Central School and imme-
diately went to work as a clerk in the
wholesale grocery firm of Rutter & Pat
terson. A few months later he went into
the sugar refinery of Harris & Stotes-
bury, in which his father had an interest
When he was II, or Just fifty years ago,

WOMEN ORATORS HAVE
TROUBLE IN PHOENIX

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. H.-The tires Of the
automobile used by the women who are
touring the country in the interest of Mr..
Hughes suffered a series Of accidents
here which aroused bitter suspicion IN the
hearts Of the members Of the local Re-
publican committee.
To support their declaration that ground
glass had been placed in the road leading
to the station they recalled that Demo
cratic women had not appeared in open
opposition to the Hughes orators but
had sent six sheepish messenger boys in
uniform, who spent the day wandering
about with placards which said:
The Democratic party gave the Ari-
zona women the vote"

trains cannot buy the Arizona voters"

Cooperative Spirit.

The trade-boosting trips are developing
a spirit Of cooperation and good will
which cannot help but rebound to the
benefit Of the National Capital. Throw
ing them together in a mutual purpose
makes men realize that they have an in
terest in common, that is above and be-
yond all petty chickering's. Boosting for
their city, they come to a realization that
they are boosting for themselves, for un-
less the city of Washington Is prosper
Gus, happy, and contented, II cannot

Is the natural destiny OF the Capital OF
this nation, and which the residents in
the territory hereabouts should naturally
have a part
The time has passed when miles made
a difference. Lines Of communicat ton
are so accessible over wonderful high
ways and steam and electric cars that
the folks in Washington and those
hundred miles away are near neighbors
and 1t is only natural that a happy trade
understanding should exist between them
Confident, therefore, OF the wisdom of
these trade-boostiDg trips, the Retail
Merchants Association is planning a fra
ternal visit OF Its, board Of governors to
nearby points, date to be selected in
November, detail announcement of which
will be made later.
For the spring we are planning a great
boosting drive that will circle all the i'm
portant centers surrounding the National
Capital 1t Is an event that will require
great preparation and that will be hap
PLY remembered by all who take part.

Fraterna1 Phases.

Another important phase of the trade
boosting is the good will and spirit of
fraternity that is exercised among the
men who take part. Strange as 1t may
seem, only too few merchants really
know one another. He knows that the
other exists, of course. but one really
never knows the person until they live
with them, and, knowing one another the
better, they have come to be better mer-
chants, to exchange ideas and thoughts
for the betterment of the mutual business.
The highest type OF efficiency is brought
about by the interchange Of ideas and
the molding of these ideas to suit the
needs and possibilities OF the individuals
endeavOr. These trade-boosting trips have
brought together business men, represent
ing variety OF lines, for from one to two
days, and with that fraternity there has
developed a degree OF confidence and a
mutual esteem that has served to make
the other fellow respect the wisdom and
the uprtghtness of one whom they here
tofore considered as a business antagon-

other way. 1t is a trade amenity, the
courtesy of which Is not forgotten. Trade
fraternity begets confidence, and once
confidence is established between buyer
and seller In given markets there is no
circumstance on earth that can destroy
that trade channel.
Business Unsurpassed.
Washingtonians have naturally come to
thoroughly appreciate that dollar for dol
lar and quality for quality there is no
market anywhere that can surpass the
retail businesses of the National Capital.
Possessed Of such great virtues, 1t is only
natural that we should be proud Of them
and should tell the folks without the
city that they can come here and enpoy
these great advantages with a full sense
OF security.
One could dwell at length upon the
many instances OF direct returns from
these trips as well as those that followed
our successive visits. I recall distinctly
the observation of one of our leading
piano dealers that made the trip for
pleasure and only boosted at one of the
landings. He left his advertising matter
with the passing comment to one of the
citizens, You are my agent in this ter
ritory." AS a result of this pleasantly
the Washington dealer sold two pianos
and Graphophone. Shoe dealers, depart
ment stores, furniture houses, all have
testified to the direct benefit that they
have received from participation in these
trips, advertising Washington as a buy
ing center.
