Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, June L." Judging from
conditions in our own circuit, it is my
opinion that the minor leagues viii pull
through the present season without any
trouble, Ed G. Barrow, president of
the International league, said today.
The International has probably re-
ceived the hardest blows of any minor
league in existence since 1912. Wreck
ed by the Federals, flooded by rains, it
has struggled bravely along. This year,
which promised to be a good one, rains
have postponed many games and war
threatens to cause more trouble. Two
of the Internatiunas's clubs are in
Canada, where the war spirit has made
itself felt since 1914. These two clubs
have suffered greatly.

hearing that the North Carolina league
had dsbanded

Get at The Source Of Your Skin Diseases"

Don't be misled by this term, for
the appearance of pimples, boils or
rashes indicate something more Sc
rious than mere ''breaking out" of
the skin. These eruptions are, in
reality, signals from nature that the
blood is impoverished, debilitated and
in need of help. OF course you can
sometimes drive away the infected
places by applying a salve or lotion,
but unless you treat them through the
medium of the blood, they will occur
again and again.

So, first, Wallace Briefly went to
Springfield. He had secured an au-
tomobile and made a regular business
of his difficult task. For three weeks
he traversed all the main thorough
fares leading out like spokes in a wheel
from his starting point. Alas! the
fashion in houses had not changed.
There were any number of one and
hall story structures, and many of them
painted yellow. But the fashion in
wraps had changed. Only some an
clent dame retained possession of that
olden badge of dignity and substan-
tlahty-a Paisley shawl. Few wore
them, however. They were heirlooms
relegated to obscurity, and this, the
chief clue, utterly failed to mater
ialzation.
One day-ah, he would never for

evening at q little town called Fair
view. He was wearied and undecided,
almost discouraged, as he awoke the
next morning. He loitered around the
hotel till about noon and then strolled
along the pretty main street of the
peaceful town, more for the sake of
exercise than with any investigatory
spirit just then.
A church ended its services and
the attendants were dispensing as he
were driving off in wagons and anti
quated Surveys. Two ladies had just
been helped into an old-fashioned
phaeton. The weather was quite crisp
and chilly. As the elder of the two
ladies took her place she drew out from
under the seat cushion a shawl.
