.HUPM0B|LE EXHIBIT
 UNIQUE AT SHOW
New Models Bedecked In Gayest Colors Are At-
 tractive to Visitors

One of the largest, and certainly one of the most attractive exhibits at the Grand Central Palace is the Hupmo- bile. which occupies a prominent space on the main floor, right aisle Six sep arate body types of the series IN" Hupmobile comprise the exhibit, in ad- dition to the cut-out chassis. which shows the sectional parts of the mechanism in operation.
 The elaborate color scheme of the various body styles makes the Hupmo- bile exhibit most distinctive The chassis Is beautifully finished in cream white and Cinnebar red; the sedan is finished in English violet; the seven passenger touring car Is attractively shown off by body of chrome yellow. and the chassis and wheels, which are wire, are painted in 8 light cream color. The other models, the five-passenger touring car the roadster, the limou- sine, and the year round touring are finished in the standard brewster green.
 The sedan and limousine attracted the greatest attention, especially among the women. The sedan was the PdItlNAAdI AdNOAAtO WtIA tic ICillIluC sex and especially among those who have been driving electrics. Tnis type of body for a gasoline car has all the good points of an electric for women, and now that the self-starter elim- mates the cranking of gas cars, Is be- coming a strong competitor of the electric. y
 All Hupmobile series "N'' cars are 119-inch wheel base, with the excep- tion of the passenger touring car and the limousine, which are 134- inch wheel base. The motor has 20 per cent more power than its prede- cessor the model 'K," and Is much greater in value in every detail of per- formance. construction, finish and equipment.
 The regular equipment includes starting and lighting system, five de- mountable rims, one-man top, quick acting storm curtains, special rain vision windshield, speedometer, foot and robe rails, exclusive Hupmobile tail light and dinners on headlight
 The series IN" Hupmobile. even more than the earlier models, is an economical car. Although the power has increased 20 per cent. repeated tests have shown no greater consump- tion of gasoline for the new model over its predecessor, and no increase ir weight. oil consumption is so trivial

SALE OF BRAVES IS
 l. BIG SURPRISE TO BASEBALL MOGULS
HOughtOn, New President, Is One of the Best Foot ball Coaches in
 Country

New York, January S.-The sale of the Boston National league club by Messrs. Gaffney and Davis to a group of Boston bankers came as a great surprise to local baseball magnates. In the present disturbed condition of the national game the sale or prospect sale of several Ma tional and American league clubs has been reported and discussed from many angles, but the Boston National club was never mentioned in this connection.
 Percey D. Haughton, who it is under stood, will act as president of the Bos- ton club, is more noted as a football player and coach than baseball man, although he played on the varsity nine while an undergraduate at Harvard in the late nineties and explained the Crim- son team of 1899.
 Of late years Haughton has divided his attention between the coaching of Har- yard football teams and the Boston stock exchange. His success, year in and year out, with the Crimson elevens, has made him one of the most famous of American coaches. Since he took charge in 1908 the Cambridge elevens have played 73 games in eight years, of which 64 have been work four lost and five tied.
 It was Haughton who took charge of the Harvard football destiny and, build ing along the lines laid out by Coach Bill Reid, lifted the Crimson team from the slough of despondency and gave the Cambridge elevens a succession of vic- tories over Yale, it's greatest gridiron rival. Since 1908 Harvard has won five of the eight annual games against the Ellis, two were scoreless ties and one was a defeat.
 In addition to these victories over Yale, Harvard, under Haughton's coaching, has won a majority of the games against Princeton, defeated Michigan as well as several of the stronger southern college elevens and the leading teams of the east.
 The new president of the Braves is a man of few words and rather nervous temperament. He possesses great execu- tive ability and has remarkable strategic ability for planning complicated and de- ceiving plays. His entrance into the field of professional baseball and the expected incorporation of the Harvard football sys- tenn into club of the national pastime probably will be watched with interest by baseball and football fans.

GRIEF HARSH WILL
 l COACH BASKETBALL 1 SQUAD AT ALABAMA
Has Wealth of Material. Will Face Strong Sched- ule-Kelley Is Rapidly
 Improving

University, January S.-(Special.) .)-With the passing Of the Christmas holidays basketball has romped into the sporting limelight at the university, and Captain Griff Harsh of Birmingham, who will lead the Crimson quintet this season, has a varied assortment of material from which to select varsity squad.
 Upon the Birmingham athlete, who, by the way, is 8 brother of William Harsh, who explained the Crimson football team last fall, has fallen double duty this season. The illness of Coach Kelley early in the fall has left barsketball aspirants without coach and Harsh has assumed the duty of both captain and in- structor on the university courts. While as yet the varsity team is in the making and no definite lineup has been decided upon, Alabama promises to put out one of the most formidable quintets in her history.
 During the coming season Captain Harsh will lead his henchmen against some of the strongest lives in the south, and during the season will invade Bir- mingham, Mobile and New Orleans, Hay ing local athletic clubs in each of these cities. Negotiations are under way fof games with prominent southern colleges.
 COacn InomaS Kelley or AlaDama, Wno has been seriously i'll for nearly three months, is now rapidly improving, and is expected to be up in a week or two. Kel- ley, 1t will be remembered, was taken i'll early in the 1915 football season, and his eleven forced to fight the remainder of the season without his guidance. He was stricken with typhoid fever, and for time his life was dispaired of. His physicians now say, however, that Kel- ley's remarkable constitution has proved him in good stead and that he probably will have no permanent defects as a re- suit of the lengthy ravages of sickness.

The announcement of the sale of the club, which two years ago won the worlds championship after a sensa- tional season, was a surprise to sport ing circles The Braves had not been on the market and until within few days President James E. Gaffney and Robert Davis of New York, the owners, had fully expected to retain control during the coming season, according to statement issued by MT. Gaffney.
 Unofficially the price paid is said to be close to a half million dollars. The club was purchased three years ago by MT. Gaffney for $1S7,000. The new Braves field, at which the last worlds series was played, was not in- cluded in the sale. A lease, the same length as that held by Gaffney, was given the new owners. It will be for 33 years.
 MT. Gaffney's statement said:
 The Braves have not been in the market, and I had no intention of sell HE q CluD Wlln WHICH lully tNpSCteu to win the National league pennant in 1916, until a few days ago when the initiatial overtures were first made. But when I discovered that I could se- cure price upon the stock that would net me a substantial profit, l could not, as a business man, turn down the proposition. Although I no longer have a financial interest in the Braves, they will always be the ball club that will be nearest my heart-the team l shall always root for
 The new president also issued a state

ment in which he made no direct ref erence to his probable action with re- gard to severing his relations with Harvard university as coach, but an- nounced that he would devote his time to the club and it's interests in the future" The statement continues:
 'I shall strive to give the patrons of the game exactly as high and if pos sible even a higner standard of base ball at Braves Field than they have been accustomed to in the past. I have always been keenly interested in pro- fessional baseball myself and welcome the opportunity offered of becoming financially and actively identified with the older major league.
 Tt will be the policy of the new owners, as it was of President Gaffney, to strengthen the Braves wherever and whenever possible, to the end that the Braves may again participate in the worlds series of 1916" MT. Haughton also gave out a copy of a telegram which he sent to Manager Stallings at HaddoclS, Ga, after MT. Gaffney had wired the news of the sale of the club. The telegram said:
 Hope you will not be much disap- pointed in transfer of club. Feel con- fident that with your cooperation we can make a success"

VALUE OF
LIBRARY

The service of a public library to
its community is very much past all
estimate; always great harm can be
measured more easily than great
good and a free supply of reading
matter is a great good. In the first
place any large collection of books
contains mostly good reading. No
one would take the trouble to gather
many poor books because nothing but
love Of literature makes it worth any
persons while to do the collecting.
In the same direction, it has been
said by one Of the clearest thinkers
of our day that you will not find
anyone who reads much, reading
much that is bad. The a is that
reading leads one upward and out
ward in appreciation until he thinks
about as much Of 1imsy reading mat
ter as a meat eater does of gelatin
pudding. One has to listen to a
plenteous number Of bad sermons be-
fore he ventures to tell the minister
how to do it; likewise after covering
a few thousand miles of rocky road
your traveller begins to sing praise
when he hits a mile of smooth pave
ment.
The Blackfoot library is going to
do a big work in the community. It
may be a silent work, but true and
lasting none the less. Perhaps no
other institution short of the school
would be as hard to take away from
a town, once it's value has been
tasted.
