kennebec Journal Ads
Give Practical Helps

A S advertising took on this char
n acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. usewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fiuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses Of the world to come un-
der the sway Of "business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too. was "in business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fc;ency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If 2 merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in
this city who read and are influenced
in their buying by the advertise
nents he need not worry about other
people or 9th er problems.

~ IME was, and within the memo
ries of many of us, when but
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's
proper place in the economy of life.
Much of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising roved,
and it came to be of use and service
to the people. It developed, gradual
ly, into medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

TENER RECOMMENDS
 MILITARY TRAINING
National League Head Advocates
 Plan Of Col. Huston

New York, Feb. 22.-The military fever spread to the National league yesterday when President John K. Tener declared himself in favor of military training for National league ball players Tener said he is in favor of the suggestions which Capt T. l.. Huston of the Yankees has made to the American league, and said his clubs would take up military training whenever and wherever they find it expedient"
 Tener is anxious that his club own CTS cooperate with American league men in introducing military drills in the training camps and to continue the work after the teams come North
 He says before each of the Nation- al league teams start actual training he will write to the club president of each club recommending the team devote a portion of each day at the training camp to military drills. "I 1 think the players should get a little of it at least one drill day"
 1T believe nothing but the highest patriotism actuated Capt. Huston ir proposing his military plan,' con
 tinued Tener. Should the countr, be in need I feel confident baseball will respond as quickly as any othe business v

Tener Seeks Aggressiyeness.

Tener is now working on plan to put back some of the old-time riv airy into the National league. Now that the Federal league war and Play CTS Fraternity menace are settled we want to get back to the old-time days when the players thought of nothing but playing the game. I want to see more intense playing than we have had during the last few years.
 However, one of the most difficult things is to get ball player to see the difference between aggressiveness and rowdyism. Frequently when I have been compelled to fine or sus- pend players for particularly bad language on the field I have received letters from those players saying, That is the thanks I get for trying to hustle for my club There can be clean, vigorous ag- gressiveness without any offensive personal remarks. My idea of ag- gressiveness is for a ball player to come on the field thinking of nothing but baseball and filled with an incen- tive to win. I like to see ball player take his defeat to heart. Whenever we lost game on the old Chicago club we felt 1t. There was an air Of defeat all over our clubhouse. Why, we took a defeat as a personal slight We could not figure how we should ever lose a game.
 There still are ball players who take their defeat to heart, but with the great ma jority the game is over when the last man is out. Then 1 want to see every player out every thing until he positively is out, never overlooking 6 chance. That IS my Idea of aggressiveness."

 The signed contract of Everett Scott, the star shortstop, was re- ceived yesterday.
 Jay Gould has penchant for reaching championship heights in al- most every indoor sport where racquet is used. Playing in his first national racquets championship tour nament yesterday, Gould, who repre- sents Philadelphia in this tourney, defeated Joshua Crane of Boston in a three game match which produced so many rallies and excellent playing that the crowded gallery of the rac quet and tennis club almost collapsed from applause. Gould came from behind to win by 1S-17, 15-12, 18-1G. Frankie Brown of New York quit ill the third round of his bout with Frankie Burns, the Jersey City ban-

Brown claimed he had been fouled but Dr. Marcus Cronin, the club phy- sician after examining the New York bantamweight, gave it as his opinion that Brown had not been hurt. , Nevertheless Brown after being given a rest of ten minutes absolutely re- fused to continue.

 New Haven, Feb. 22.-Prof. Tom my Shea, featherweight champion of New Haven, successfully defended his title by scoring knockout over Frank Brindisi in the fourteenth bout at the Arena last night. The knock out came after thirteen rounds of un- interesting milling, during Which time Shea held the whip hand against the rugged but less experienced Italian battler. There have been many knockouts in local rings, but none can compare with that of last night for sensationalism. In the fourteenth round Shea whipped a right hook to the jaw and the Italian went shoot ing out through the ropes into the laps of ringsiders. The referee made no attempt to go through the for malities of raising Shea's hand in token of victory for 1t was evident that Brindsi was completely out, Brindisi later regained his senses and made his way to Shea's corner where he warmly clasped the hand of the winner.

YALE FAVORED TO
 WIN CHAMPIONSHIP,
Eli in Lead for HonorS With
 Four Games to Play

New Haven, Feb. 22.-While the contest for supremacy in the Inter- collegiate Basketball league may be said, at the widest reckoning to in- volve Yale. Princeton and Pennsyl- vania-the three leading teams-the Quakers may now win the champion ship only in event of disaster to Yale, says Lawrence Perry in the New York. Post. This is extremely unlikely, hence Pennsylvania may be regarded as practically eliminated from tho race If the Ellis are to be nosed out of the leading position the honor of this feat will probably fall to Prince ton. The general idea, however, is that the Blue will continue at the top until the season ends. She has won five games and lost one--to Pennsyl- vania. They have five more games to play; Yale has four, Yale's mid-year exams are we'll behind and the team 1 has had opportunity for daily prac- tice and besides has played league and exhibition games. Princeton has just come through her February tests, and~ there has been little opportunity for valuable practice, much less tho play ing of intercollegiate games. In this condition Nassau goes against Colum- bia Saturday night in the gymnasium on Morningside. Columbia is by no means weak sister this year; on her own floor she is decidedly formirable In point of field goal shooting the fiyas stands second only to Yale, and if the l Tigers are to prevail it must be
 through superior team work. Games against Pennsylvania and Yale must also be played away from home, and the Ellis have two games on foreign floors, both of these against Cornell and Dartmouth, who have shown
 themselves to be the weakest teame
 in the league.
 To recapitulate Nassau will meet
 three of her strongest opponents on her opponents courts in the five gamee
 yet to be played, while Yale will en-
 gage her two strongest rivals on her
 own floor and play away from home against the tail-end fives. It will thus be seen that the probabilities incline in favor of Yale. At the same time those who follow intercollegiate sport will appreciate the fact thai probabilities do not always materialize into accomplished facts. If Princeton
 can ueIoaI IHe Due dHO WuiIc OH Saturday night and prevail over Penn sylvania in Weightman hall on March 10, there is then the likelihood that the championship will be decided in the Princeton-Yale struggle in New
 Haven on March IA. The Quakers meet the Comedians at Philadelphia
 Saturday night-the evening of the
 Princeton Columbia game unon which occasion the Red and Blue hopes to
 take revenge for the unexpected beat
 ing which the Ithacans administered
 upon the occasion of the first meeting
 of the two. Followers of basketball
 in Philadelphia, and no city boasts so 1 great number of men we'll versed in
 the game, say that the Yale team last
 Saturday was one of the best univef-
 sity outfits they ever saw. The 1 standing:

 bitter end of 75 to 20 score last
 night at the Yale gym. The gamc
 was all that the score indicates,
 namely, an easy walk away for Yale
 from start to finish. and at no time
 did Springfield force Yale to exert
 herself to any great extent.
 Kinney, the irresistible forward, was the bright luminary of the con- test. During the entire game he alone scored 37 points. fouls and 16 field goals. Yale scored first when Captain Taft scored a field goal on | dribbe1 shot. Immediately after
 wards, Springfield Y. M. c. A. tied
 the score when Seimon retaliated with basket. Yale however, was not to be tied long and Olsen and Kinney each contributed a field goal
 bringing the score up to to 2. Cap tain Taylor of Springfield then scored 1 a foul and a field goal, boosting the Springfield score to 5. This was as far as the visitors got for Garfield caged three field goals in quick suc- cession, which amazed all Mallon, Kinney and Taft also scored heavy during the first half and the score at the end ot the first frame stood 37 to II.

COLE BROS. TRAINED WILD
ANIMAL SHOW COMING SOOF

Cole Bros. Trained Wild Animal
Show will exhibit at Montpelier on
Saturday, May 5th, rain or shine.
There is fascination about a tent
cd show that appeals to everybody.
In our childhood days the blare Of
the band, the gaudily painted wag-
ons, the animals, the funny clowns
loft an impression on the mind that
remained there as long as life lasts.
Where old age comes and a circus
is billed, tottering steps are directed
to the route of parade, or to the cir
Gus grounds. There is not the de-
light there that came in the days of
youth but there are the memories
that come that count so much.
Young and old, rich or poor all
welcome the big circus It is an
American institution that is popu-
lar. The lemonade and the peanuts
never taste so good as they do on
the show lot Other pleasures many
become monotonous but the glamour
Of the tented arena never fades.
Cole Bros. Trained Wild Animal
show is an old institution, that has
pleased millions of people for many
years. This year it comes to us,
bigger, grander than ever. Bringing
with 1t a galaxy of beautifully cos
lumCu matt anu I0md1S performers,
wild and domestic animals of ali
species, gathered from all parts of
the world. Clowns, those m rev
fun makers, which we enjoyed so i'm
mensely when we were kids, yes
