1t is the human consciousness reaching
ever upward that achieves perfection.
You men in professional life were
compelled to lay broad and deep the
foundations of your careers. ana then
perfect your pla rs. IT, same truth
holds good in business, In bIsiness
you grow as you push your business.
Nothing in this world stands still.
You are either on a higher or lower
plane than you We're yesterday. One
great Difficulty II ne church to-day is
the fact that BECAUSE We are not go
ing forward. we coast. Coasting, ever
coe sting. but always downward.
You want good health. You try 20
keep well. You want good homes. You
work hard for them. Why not perfect
yourselves? All around YOU want
things lovely yet rotten as hell inside.
Too many people our here In Iowa
are paying close attention to the
breeding Of cattle and hogs. yet leave
their children run wild. They breed
fancy dogs. cats and canaries with
pedisrees as long as Your arm, ye. are
not living respectable Ives.
"Oh. let us pay attention to our
minds and bodies, but also to our souls.
Let us put the family altar in our

LOSES ON SPORTS
Harvard Comes Out sses Behind
DurInc Year.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 31--
Although the income derived from
athletic sports at Harvard for the
college year 1915-1916, was $155, 200.
the annual report of the Harvard Ath-
letic Association, published By grad
uate treasurer OF athletics, F. w.
Moore, shows that the Crimson finish
ed the year with a deficit OF 1855.
The football expenses were about
S37, 900, and the receipts $117 900.
Neither hockey nor track netted any
revenue, while rowing. the most ex-
pensive OF all college sports, was con-
Quoted with q net outlay OF $4,000.
Baseball showed a profit of $4,000, al
though the gross receipts from the
varsity games were more than S19,-
900.
Harvard's receipts from its fresh
man sports were only $152, while the
outlay was S,4OO. 1t also cost Har-
ward $4,000 for the upkeep OF the
athletic grounds, and the expense OF
general administration was 1000.
Although the year was one OF the
poorest of Harvard's recent athletic
years, a splendid balance of receipts
over actual and expected expenditures
is already shown for 1916-1917.

LONG LEGAL FIGHT
EXPECTED ON SUIT
Outcome of. Trial of Vital Inter-
est to Organized Base
ball Magnates.

NEW YORK. March 31.--When the
Baltimore Feds big law suit against
organized baseball comes TO trial be-
fore q Philadelphia Jury on April 10,
the big leaguers will be ready for a
long legal night. They have retained
Us counsel John G. johnson and
George Wharton Pepper, and the case
will be heard by United States Judge
Dickinson.
The outcome OF the trial is of more
vital interest to organized baseball
than to the plaintiffs. Tie suit for
100000 damages has been brought
under the Sherman antitrust law and
the Clayton amendment to it. A vor-
dict for the Baltimare Feds, som, law
yers maintain, would be prima facie
evidence that organized baseball is a
combination existing in violation OF
the trust laws.
The litigation arises out OF the
peace pact arranged a year ago by
the Federal League and organized
base ball, which put an end to the
disastrous baseball war. The Balti-
more Feds refused to submit to the
terms of settlement, and would not
sign the peace agreement. As a re-
suit they were left out in the cold,
while the other Fed. clubs received
compensation for dropping out of the
sport.
Finding no redress from organized
baseball therefore, the Baltimore
Feds brought suit for 100000 actual
damages, which are trebled under the
provisions of the Clayton act. In their
complaint the Baltimore Feds charge
that organized baseball exercises ab-
solute control over the game, and
that elimination of the Federal
League as a business competitor was
the result OF conspiracy.
