The question OF raising the price Of
milk was discussed at some length but
owing to lack of time no action was
taken at this meeting. All members
were reluctant to take any such action
unless driven to it by the steadily ris-
ing price of grain and cows. In this
connection it might be well to point out
that the milk man is paying the same

The climax of the first chapter of
1.-THE Great Secret" the Metro serial,
with Francis X. Bushman and Bever-
ly Bayne as co-stars is shown here.
The hero, William Strong, saves the
heroine from a band of kidnappers,
only to be surrounded by them. The
story of mysterious man, who falls
in love with girl he scarcely knows,
and originates his own marriage cere-
mony, is told in William FoX's new
photoplay, THE Unwelcome Mother"
The story begins with old Peter
(Tom Burrough) watching from his
post in the lighthouse. In all his years
of life on the coast, he has never seen
such a storm. Far out on the waves
he sees tiny object floating. 1t as a
boat, and he can see that someone is
inside it.
Scarcely stopping to think, Peter
leaps into the tempestuous waters and
swims to the boat. He finds there
mother and little baby-but he is too
late. The mother has died from the ex-
posture. Peter rescues the child adopts
her, and raises her to womanhood. He
calls her Elinor.
The girl is a daughter of the sea.
She makes the ocean her constant
companion, and passes the whole days
swimming along the rock-bound coast
near the lighthouse-Adv.

SMOKY JOE SOLD
FOR sum $4,000

Boston, Feb 25.-Joe Wood-Smoky Joe
was sold yesterday to the Cleveland In
dams for $4,000.
The sale was consummated by PreSi-
dent Frazee of the Red Sox and Vice
President Bob McRoy of the Indians. at
long conllab in New York. the third
session they had had in two days over
the matter
No other Sox goes to the Ohio city and
no Indian comes TO Boston. 1t was an
out-and-out money transaction.
1t is understood that Woodie has
agreed on terms with McRoy. The two
will confer in Cleveland the first of the
week
Undoubtedy Joe will sign a nice, fat
contract without n murmur; unquestion-
ably the court photographers will catch
him in the act And it's the surest thing
You know that Cleveland fans will whoop
II up and claim the pennant.
For four hours the Two magnates talk
ed in the Wocott. McRoy offered sum
of money and Catcher Tom DAILY. the
Cambridge boy who made the memorable
home run before the King of England
when the White Sox and the Giants were
touring the world
Frazee had no objection to DAILY, but
the sum of money was too small and the
led SoX consider themselves fairly well
fortified in the catching department.
Frazee ultimatummed McRoy and sali
that they'd call it all off unless McRoy
said yes or no within couple OIL
hours.
McRoy finally located owner Dunn in
Pittsburg. and the latter said it would
be all right to give the $1,000 for WOOD.
Mercy was in communication several
times during the day with Joe Wood
who was in an uptown hotel. All is
smooth between the Indians and Joe, all
but few formalities. Woodie VIII go
TO New Orleans for the training trip with
the rest of the Ohio Tribe.

PATRIOTIC SERMON AT
UNIVERSALIST CHURCH

"A large number were present sun
day morning at the UniNerSallSt
church. Rev. E. w. Weber delivered a
very interesting patriotic sermon on
George Washington" The basis of the
sermon was taken from the 10th
chapter of 1st Samuel. The speaker
said that DAVID. who was perhaps the
author of the greater number OF the
psalms. was the youngest son of Jessie,
out of whom it was prophesied the
Messiah should come, and his grand
mother was the Ruth of many a song
and story. AS the youngest of family
OF 10 children David was sent to care
for his fathers vast focks. The story
of his leaving his charge one day in
the hope of seeing a battle between the
Israelites and Philistines and his ac-
ceptance of the challenge to fight the
giant Goliath, in the presence of the
two armies is story familiar to every
boy and girl of the land.
The speaker went on to tell the in
teresting story of David being annolnt-
ed king to fill the place of saul. He
then continued: 1T is not my purpose
to present even an outline of the lie
OF David to justify the use L snail
make of my text, this morning, but
simply wish to give some slight hint
of the character and services OF the
psalmist as a parallel with which to
give emphasis to a modern example
of manhood and humanitarian service.
He compared Washington to King Da-
vid. and said: sometimes society
gives birth to characters which resem-
BILE each other in some degree; char-
acters that belong to no one party, sect
or country, but are so broad mlnded
that they may be said to belong TO al
races, religions and lands-to me
whole world Washington was chlo
of soil and circumstances as was Da-
vid and as surely raised up and CHOSEN
of God for a special purpose. When
the clock of time strikes the hour OF
some great need it also arouses as II
strikes the man of Gods appoint
ment."
He spoke of the two men, Caesar and
NAPOLEON, and contrasted their WORK
with that of Washington. He closed by
making an appeal for that loyalty &c
God and country which was shown by
George Washington.

later Mr.. Daniels admitted that he per-

1t has been understood from the first

the strong pacific sentiment in the
