AL Libke, the giant catcher o
By BILLY CAIRNS .

Al Libke, the giant catcher on
the w. o. w. baseball team last
season, has placed his John
Hancock" on w. o. w. con-
tract for the coming season. He
says that dancing has kept him
In the best of condition and
that he feels as fit as a fiddle.
He says that he will tear the
cover off the ball this season.
Being a blacksmith by trade he
has more strength to use in
hitting the ball than the aver
age semi-pro possesses. Last
season he was officially crown
ed "The-Bagger" Libke, because
of the generous number of two
base clouts that he gathered
during the season. He had
more than any other two fell
lows on the team.
Most all the fans at the Dupont
smoker sat up and took notice
when Phil Konksli went into
the ring with Walter Porsch.
1t was Pills first real battle.
Phil did noble work and had he
fought little harder in the
first two rounds he would have
earned a draw. He is another
of Emmett Engle's boys who
will probably be heard from
again at an early date.
Charley Mclaughlin, guard on
the Sodality A. c. basketball
team, says that he never wants
to repeat the experience of last
Friday night when the bus in
which he and the other team
members were riding, went into
the ditch. He said that it was
all over so quickly that he hard
ly knew what had happened
until he found himself in two
feet of ice water.
Jack Shaughnessy and Butch"
Pollen are planning to again
make a trip east. Jack will box
on several cards during the
journey IL the expected trip ma
terializes. These boys enjoy
travelling, and are usually seen
together. Both are all around
athletes and two good fell
lows"
Les Patterson decide to
join the Vancouver ball team
this season, 1t Is thought that
Leonard Taylor will stop the
fast ones for the Smelter team.
Otherwise Taylor will likely be
utility man for last seasons
pennant winners.
T0no looks like one of the fast
est basketball teams In South
west Washington. They are
scheduled to meet the Winlock
quintet next Saturday night on
the Centralia floor. A big
crowd is expected to be in at
tendance.

PR0sPERITY ON FIRM BASIS.

There is every Indication that the
prosperity in this country engendered
by the war will continue for long
period after peace has been declared.
The material benefits that are to ac-
company this war. says Henry Clews
in his Financial Review, hardly can
be exaggerated. In the long run they
cannot fail to appear in a very prac-
teal way thru securities of the cor
porations which are so closely iden-
titled with our country's activities.
We are to emerge from the struggle
in a far more prosperous condition
than any of all the other great ma
tions whose participation antedated
our own by nearly three years. In
that long period our manufacturers,
our farmers and all other American
interests enjoyed a period of entirely
unexampled prosperity. Our indus
trial plants were tuned up to the high
est pitch of efficiency, our labor had
attained the highest degree of skill in
the various departments of manufac-
turing. Therefore, regardless of the
further duration of the war, we as a
nation will enjoy the advantage OF
having entered after our allies had ex-
pended so great part of their physi-
cal and financial strength. This is a
handicap that they hardly may be ex-
pected to overcome for some time
after peace shall have been arranged.
In the meantime our business men
will continue the keen competition to
retain the advantages that have been
thrown in their way during the fore
part of the struggle. Our government
has entered upon shipping plans that
will mean that when the war ends we
shall see the American flag in all the
great ports of the world and on the
seven seas. We have in recent years
entered many new markets and have
had the opportunity of introducing
American goods. These advantages
we shall in large measure retain.

reSpondence up to date, so that the

your going" Peggy treasured him, as
he started out. I'm dreadfully
sleepy, and I'm afraid 1 should have
been quite stupid if you had stayed
home"
hree or four nights out of the
week Clay returned to his office, and
as often Peggy, apparently uncom-
plainingly, profeSsed perfect willing
ness to retire Early and forget her
loneliness. One evening that Clay had
intended to devote to his correspond
ence. the vision of Peggy in a new
evening frock changed his mind. 1t
was one of those eXquisitely simple
gowns that experience had taught Clay
to know were the most expensive kind.
But even this knowledge did not spoil
the pleasure he took in beholding his
pretty wife so attractively dressed to
meet him.
DO you very much like this dress ?''
Peggy asked him after they had fin
ished dinner. II can really tell that
you do Just by the way you look at
it And then, not waiting for Clay's
enthusiastic response. Peggy went on.
4 never could keep a secret So just
have to tell you that I made it," She
paused moment and watched, and
not finding reproving frown on
Clay's face she went on: "And l have
cooked dinner every night for two

too, but you know l can't keep a Sc
cret, and If you ever found out you'd
hate me for deceiving you. You see.
the girls in my class at college were
getting up a fund for an ambulance,
and of course they looked to me to
help little. But l knew you couldn't
endure having two-course DINNERS or
seeing me dressed in a shirtwaist in
the evening, so / decided to go along
living just as we always had, and I'd
save the cooks wages and my dress
maker's-bill by doing a little myself.
And that caviarre we had the other
night wasn't caviarre at all; it was
just mock caviarre made out of sar-
dimes. Nelly's been a trump and has
done a lot to help me with the cook
ing. And nights when you do stay
home she does the dishes all alone,
and the nights when you don't. we
really have fun together. So that's
my secret"
Half an hour later Clay and Peggy
in the roadster were speeding toward
CIay's office, and half an hour after
that they were home again And with
Peggy at his side, Clay was tipping out
the letters of the day in his library,

cause it was no longer a secret
