to tell the rich brothers and sisters
of the South Shore what to eat, how
much to drink and when and where
and how to drink it. All these loving
services are regularly performed by
reformers for the poor, so if we are
to be real Christians we should get
just as fussy about the rich.
Then we can answer that old qUes-

by saying, "No, son, 1 am not nay

By that time all of us ought to be
happily busy minding everybody's

Hadn't you better wait until he's

REFORMING THE RICH

pleased to see cur old tT1enQ, Arthur
Burrage Farwell, buckle on his
armor and shake his, lance at the
naughtiness of the swell South Shore
country club. 1t isn't that 1 care a
darn about the plutes running a swell
gambling joint, but because if Bro.
Farwel insists on being refOrmer
1 want him to try his reform on the
rich, as well as on the poor. A reg
ular reformer, you know, seldom
picks on anybody but the poor-and
how he does love to reform them. He
likes to putter with their morals and
experiment their appetite and thirst.
And generally finds enough rich phi
lanthropists willing to foot the bills
so long as nobody is reformed and
hplifted but the poor. All we need
now is a fund contributed by the
poor out of which we can hire re-
formers to reform the rich. With the
rich paying for the reforming of the
poor and the poor paying for the re-
forming of the rich, we would have
some chance of getting everybody
properly reformed.
But Arthur shouldn't be LETT to do ]
all of the reforming of the rich. We
can let him tackle the gambling, but
somebody else ought to show some
brotherly or sisterly interest in what
the rich wimmen folks wear. Some
hard-hearted woman refor1nef who
has no shape of her own worth
showing ought to inspect the gowns
of the South Side danes and see if
they are cut too low in the bosom :

whether they cross their legs for ex-
hibition purposes when they sit |
down. 1 recommend this inspection |

Then we should be able to find

 LEAGUE LEADERS

Nashville, July s.-Day was batted freely when hits meant runs, while Rogers, though wild, was strong in the pnches and Nashville had little trou- ble winning from Atlanta, z to o. The first game of the scheduled double header was rained out and the second started after delay of more than an hour. The game was marked by spectac- ular fielding, circus catches cutting off extra base drives for both pitchers Williams made two sensational catches one almost to the back fence and the other close behind third base.
 In addition to his brilliant fielding Williams cleared the bases in the fifth with double and drove the second ball pitched by Day in the sixth inning over the right field wall Lee made three hits out of three time up, stole two bases and scored twice. The score:

There are more trapshooters to the square yard in Wilmington, Del, than in any other city in this broad land, and they are a chesty lot, too. The only Elks lodge in the state of Dela- ware is located in Wilmington, and nearly all the trapshooters of the largest city in the smallest state in the union are members of this lone lodge. And this brings us down to the meat of the story.
 Despite the smallness of the state in area and population, the Delaware trap shooters are confident that they can pick a team from among their numbers that can defeat any five representing the Elks lodges of any other state, and in conse- quence they have issued challenge 10 the trapshooters of the Elks' lodges of the others states to meet them on the traps during the convention of the B. P. O. E. in Baltimore. Said convention will take place during the week that Is now on us. And the contest-for cer- tainly there area num>,er of states which will disagree with the Delawareans-wil take place on Friday, July II, starting at 10:90 o'clock in the morning on the grounds of the Oriole club
 CLUBS NJ!MERUS
 Throughout the west especially on the Pacific coast, the Elks' lodges have formed many gun clubs. In many other states, where the Elks have not formed gun clubs, many of the best trapshoot- CTS are affiliated with the organization
 The suggestion preached by the Dela- ware lodge is that each state enter as many trapShooters as they wish the five highest scores to count. Each man will shoot at 100 targets In order to insure additional interest in the proposed tour nament, the Delaware contingent an- nounces that they will give five trophies to the winning team five more to the second team, four class prizes and one prize for the poorest score.
 The Delaware band Is interested in the promotion of trapshooting as sport, 1t is anxious to interest brother Elks in the sport alluring-and also anxious to bring back the laurels in the first tournament. There may be number of surprised shooters when the entries are turned in
