.SALINA. WANTS IN.
Auto Dealer Says His City Will
Take New League Franchise.
Suggests Glass C Organization
With $500 Salary Limit. :

Salina-wide awake, progressive,
up-and-coming Salina is the first city
in Kansas to take up the proposition
suggested by the Topeka State Journal
that an effort be made to organize a
strong state baseball league, and word
mas already been received from the
Saline county metropolis that its bust
ness men and boosters will gladly get
behind a team to become affiliated
with such an organization.
Bert w. Lamb, of the Lamb Auto
Sales company, is the live wire of Sa-
lima who has come to the front with
an offer to take a ha d in organizing
a new SunNower state league, and he
undoubtedly is we'll qualified to know
what he is undertaking as he is an
old professional ball player, having
served time in the Northw estern
league, the Three-I league and the
Central association.
The following communication from
Lamb, relative to the establishment IF
such a league, was received this morn
ing:
The Letter.
Sporting Editor State Journal: In
Tuesdays paper 1 noticed statement
to the effect that you would help
boost a Kansas state league, and wish
to say that 1 think such a league
would be a big success, if properly
conducted. AS all the Kansas towns,
except topeka nave Deen WAIllOuI
baseball for two years, they should be
ripe for the game again, and good
class C league could be organized with
a $1,000 salary limit and a 120 game
schedule that should be a winner from
the jump.
such towns as Salina, Hutchinson,
Newton, Emporia, Topeka, Atchison,
Lawrence, Leave1worth and Manhat-
tan could support TINS in such a
league without trouble. They would
make a compact circuit with very lit
tie mileage and all could have hust-
ling bunch of youngsters that would
be able to furnish just as good a brand
of baseball as is furnished by the
average Western league club.
1.-The Salina papers will boost such
\ n proposition here, 1 am sure, and
there will be no trouble about raisina
enough money here to launch a team
| if a league can be formed. Hoping
that you can wake things up thru youi
paper and that enough towns viii
show sufficient interest to warrant
the calling of a meeting in the near
future, 1 am, very truly yours,

mild and sunshiny with the highest

short periods, when cold waves occur
red, temperatures were above normal
almost continually and on some days
were up to the average for early
spring.
The average Temperature was de-
grees above normal and the highest
recorded during the month, 81 de-
grees on the 2sth. was within de-
grees of the highest January tempera-
ture on record.
The total precipitation amounted to
only OBJ inch, or less than third of
the normal amount. The deficiency
in snowfall was especially noticeable,
as the amount for the month was but
IL inches and makes the winter up
to date one of the least snowy winters
in thirty years. By the end of the
month the ground had dried out
enough to pillow mad it not been frozen
beneath the surface.
Fifteen days were clear. nine partly

OF course, the use of dyes to darken
gray hair is unpleasant and not in good
taste-even dangerous, in fact. But
since the natural color be
stored to gray or faded hair in per
fectly simple, healthful, naturay way, why
should anyone have gray hair? Why
should you?
Sunshine and air, the good gifts of
Nature, combined with the use of Q-Ban
Hair Color Restorer, the good gift of
science, will bring back the natural color
of your hair, evenly and pleasantly, and
just as surely as it is true that sunshine
and air are free. Thousands of the fore
most people in this country have restored
their hairs natural color and renewed
their youthful look in just this way. 1t
is nothing to be ashamed of, like the use
of dyes. Nor does it arouse suspicion,
as dyes do by the unnatural appearance
they give the hair.
All you need to do to gain rich and
coveted beauty of hair without a trace
Of gray, is to wet your hair with Q-Ban
Hair Color Restorer, and when it is dry
enough expose it to the free and pure
sunshine and air, repeating this daily
turns to its original. uniform shade. @
Ban does not pretend to work miracles
overnight, remember. Such claims belong
to dangerous dyes. sticky paints and fakes.
Q-Ban's work is safe, permanent and nat
ural, and keeps the change from making

AND PAINS

Don't neglect-a pain anywhere. but
find out what causes it and conquer
the cause. A pain in the kidney re-
gion may put you on your back to-
morrow. Don't blame the weather
for swollen feet, it may be an ad-
vanced warning of Bright's disease. A
pain in the stomach may be the first
symptom of appendicitis. A creak in
a joint may be the forerunner of
rheumatism. Chronic headaches
more than likely warn you of serious
stomach trouble. The best way to
