William, M. Clifford Released Here, in
Jail at Nevada.

William Mckinley Clifford, young
man of this city, under suspended court
sentence for forgery that was never
imposed, Is in Jail at Nevada on
charge Of forgery. County Attorney
Langland, of Story county reported
the arrest to the office Of the clerk Of
courts here in seeking information re-
garding the status Of the local criminal
charge against Clifford. =.
Clifford was arrested here for giving
NJ. C. Roskopt a bad check for s1,100
IN payment for a new car he purchas-
ed. Clifford was sentenced to serve sew
en- years in the Anamosa reformatory
by Judge Cummins, but the court sus-
pended sentence, providing Clifford
would enlist in the regular army. Gift
ford made an effort TO do SO in Des
Moines but when the recruiting officer
found that Clifford was under sentence
on felony he refused to accept the
recruit. The case was never taken up
again Until recently Clifford was a
driver Of the Levin Dry Goods Company
and while in its employ was arrested
for speeding. It Is quite probable that
Clifford will be turned over to this
county for execution Of the old SEN
tence imposed here,

Cedar Rapids Nearly 5000 Out as Re-
suit Of Disastrous 1917 season-othsr
Clubs Would Finish Sehedule-un-
less Club 10 Placed League viii Dis
band on Aug. I.

Cedar Rapids, the largest city in the
Central Baseball Association, has sur
rendered its franchise. Financial losses
turnout the season are the cause OF the
suspeusIon. The other five members
of the association have voted TO con-
rinue the season, but unless another
location can be found for the Geaar
Rapids club by Aug. 1, the league wiIi
be forced to disband. Ii IS likely tha'
Webster City will become the Au'Uie
home of the Bunnies.
The withdrawal Of Ceda- hap4oa
came as a surprise to the otNeT iheln
bers Of the league, who hao eApec1eH

cial meeting Of the league called d!
President Ford for Friday at Waterloo
Charles City directors voted TO con
tipue the season and declared the4I
club had enjoyed good patronage at
home and that the financial conoltloN
was not worrying them in the least.
Altho all the directors, with the eN-
ception of Cedar Rapids, were pre-
pared to continue, Fort Dodge repre-
sentatiyes said they were ready 10 ais

stay in the league to the end OF the
year IL the majority so voted
League Takes Over Team.
Belden Hill, Of Cedar Rapids, an
nounced that the salaries Of the Bunny
players would be paid to Friday night
when the club was turned over to the
league. The league will carry the cluo
and pay the salaries to the night OF
Aug. i, when it will be transferred TO
another city or the league WILL sus-
pend for the season.
Webster City fans have expressed
desire to get into the league, ana II
was thought probable that city Wou!d
take over the Cedar Rapids ciuo LOT
the remaining month OF the season.
President Ford arranged to meet Win
the Webster City fans today and prom
ised to give the league dehnlte an
swer as to the future OF baseball oy
Monday.
Cedar Rapids Loses Money.
Cedar Rapids has good reasons LOT
dronnine out Of baseball, according to
the club directors. At no time Since
the beginning OF the season has tine
club made money, and now mus llse1
about 5000 behind. Attendance has
been unusually bad and the cluo'
which was expected to be IN the race
for the pennant this year. has falleo
to make the showing expected.
Marshalltown will finish Its series al
Charles City, and will play at Mason
City on Monday, Tuesday and Wed

x;-,,a5 +ha r1-,b RETURNS here for a
three game series with the Cedar Rap
ids club, beginning Aug. 2.
Want Post-Season Games.
Should the season come to close
Aug. l It Is likely that a post-season
series between Marshantown and Wat
erloo will be played. Waterloo has
asked for such q series and it Is likely
that the games will be scheduled, to
be played Immediately after the close
Of the league season.

"Terms Cash" Should Be the Motto.
By R. H. RATLIFF.

Cold cash Is required to start a ga
rage or repair shop, and cash Is nee
essary to keep IL going.
The individual who starts with a
box Of tools for capital to build q busl-
ness usually lasts six to eighteen
months. Occasionally one Is able to
stand the storm and strain and sue
ceeds In building a business, but unless
he does a cash business his chances
are very small for long and success
full career. Cash must come either
from outside or from trade for a busi-
ness to grow, particularly at this time
Of unnatural conditions In the auto
mobile industry.
II a car owner says he will be around
at a certain time to pay his bill and
when that time comes cannot make the
payment. he will probably claim to be
dissatisfied with the work done on the
car. Fault is found and adjustments
have to be made without charge. The
repairman loses time and money, while
the car owner gains time and money.
Should adjustments be refused gratis.
the owner likely will run down the
workman and his work to possible Gus
toners.
Frequently the privilege Of having
an open account Is offered as an in
ducement for business. Extreme care
should be exercised when this is done
for circumstances and conditions
change quickly. Many States give am
pie protection with lien laws; they
should be used. Credit, to be sure, is
the life Of business. but abused credit
has ended more than one mans career
In business. 1t requires more than a

needs also executive and financial abil-
ity. The man who is just starting
likes to have his customers say his
charges are very reasonable. It Is
good advertising to have ones Gus
toners recommendations.
The other day I saw a man put 70
cents worth OF water hose on a car
for % cents. including the labor. He
was bidding for business, but at loss.
If the occasion demands bid at cost,
but the quality of workmanship should
be the true basis. Business may be
secured by the Chicago repairman who
did a 500 job for $35. He was very
jubilant over the amount of work sent
to him by his customer. who recon-
mended him on account of his making
light charges. These new customers
Will certainly expect the same treat
ment, and II they get 1t the absence
Of profit on their work will soon put
the repairman out of business.
How many concerns build q business
over the bargain counter? The per
cent OF profit over the entire cost for
the cut-rate business man must be as
much in proportion to the amount OF
business done as In. the house which
does not do a cut-price business. Hon
est and right work and material for a
legitimate profit Is the winning COM
bination. The profit will increase the
equipment and carry the business over
the dull seasons.

salvation for the undercapitallzed bust
ness.
