COAST LEAGUES
OPEN THE SEASON

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-Teams
of the Pacific Coast baseball league
responded to the umplre's call of
play BALI today In this city, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake City in the
opening games OF the 1917 schedule.
The usual big crowds turned out to
see the first ball pitched over the
city streets preceded the ceremonials
nj the various ball parks, while bands
played their noisiest to add zest to
tho occasion.
The Vernon Tigers and San Fran
cisco Seals met in the opening con
test here on hte new Recreation park
which has been under construction
durin gthe winter. The local plant
has been entirely remodelod. with up.
to.datc grand stand, and the playing
field much enlarged.
The Portlanders lined UP against
the Salt Lake club at the latter city
while Los Angeles was host to the
Oakland club.
Owing to the rather erratic form
displayed by tho various clubs in the
sprin gtralning period opinion differs
as to the relative merits of the teams,
but the conconsus OF opinion appears
to favor Los Angeles as the most dan.
aerous contender for 1917 honors. The
Angeles we're tho winners of last sea-

The managers of all the clubs pro.
fess to be satisfied that their organiza-
tons are stronger than they were
last season and that after the early
season wedding out process is finished,
will have well balanced teams. As
usual, the pitching departments arc
the most uncertain quantities an din
several instances the future OF tho
team is expected to depend largely on
the way in which the moundmen turn
out. There are many new faces IN

Theodore Rooseveh's Plea

To Ny Fellow Members OF the Rocky
Mountain club and Men and Women
of the west:
The action of the Rocky Mountain
club in devoting its energies to the
relief OF the suffering children OF Bel
gium rang true to the western spirit,
as all of us who have lived in the
mountains and the plains have come
to know that spirit have gladly
Joined in the movement to do what /
can for gallant little nation which
has been cruelty trampled under foot,
for no fault of it's own, and now lies
PROSTATE. threatened with the less of
its spiritual as well as it's physical
being. 1t is the literal truth that
rarely since the days of Herod has
child-life been so menaced as today
in Belgium.
l shall not deal with the material
side OF this question. or tell how
1,25O,OO0 children are compelled to go
hungry and are threatened with dis
ease and slow starvation. All this is
being told in the west in speeches, in
letters, in literature, in cartoons and
in personal pleas. Suffice il to say
that Belgium today stands in mortal
danger OF losing both it's bodily life
and its soul. 800
But what of us? What OF our soul II
like the Levite and the priest we pass
on our business with averted eyes?
The nation that turns deaf ear to the
sufferings of ten million people, includ-
ing million and a quarter children,
is committing moral suicide. Dis.
eases born of want and hunger are
spreading with dreadful rapidity
among these 100000 children of Bel.
GUM. Shall we look idly on while
| these children die? Other nations do
not sit idle. War-torn England and
France have given largely. Brave
little Holland has cared within her
own borders for hundreds of thous-
ands OF refugees. The rest OF the
world has spent $3.50 zoo, 900 for Bel
GUM. We have contributed only nine
millions. Is this enough TO make us
think that we have done our duty? We
say with unctuous self-satisfaction
that we have been kept out OF war"

We ehuckle because In, 1916, we sold
five billions worth of products to Eu-

we see only the dollar sign in the
sky? What OF our souls II we con.
tinue deaf to the crying need Of a
gallant nation, threatened with extinc.
ton through the loss OF its first born?
Can any man OF high and generous
nature, having been told the facts. con.
tinue to be Indifferent?

not done enough. appeal to the men

lyour pay If you increase my profits.
Rule 2. Watch your work, not

time and yours. I'm sure to catch
Won in the end and that's the wrong
end.
Rule 4. You owe so much to
yourself that you can't afford to owe
anybody else. Keep out of debt or
keep out of my employa
Rule 5. Dishonesty is never an ac-

Rule 6. Mind your cwn business

Rule s. It's none of my business

and you do half as much as | de-
nand, you'll last half as long as you
hope.

You may reason it with specious
logic through ever so many ramifi-
cations, and in the end you will find
that advertising pays for the simple
reason that it renders service to
you and me and to the man and the
woman next door.
"The great agents of civilization
are these which save time and in
crease the comforts and convenience
of humanity These are the things
that make the railroad and the many
applications for lectricity-the
telegraph. the telephone. light, pow
er-so enormously valuable.
Advertising belongs in the same
category There is no way of esti-
mating its capacity for saving time,
for increasing comfort. The most
important thing to remember is
that worthwhile advertising bene-
fits everybody advertiser and
the public. What does not appeal
to us may exactly fit the need of the
man next door. So far as adver-
tised articles are concerned, people
all over the country become our
reighbors.
ITO emphasize our dependence
upon business news, try and recall
your attitude when some one speaks
of something which has strong
appeal, but of which you hadn't
heard before. Aren't you likely to
say, why it isn't advertised?' The
spirit Of this comment is reflection
upon the reality of the article. We
feel, and suite reasonably, that it
cant be worth much, or that II
can't be quite real, unless it is ad-
vertised."
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1917-01-04

You haven't seen Florida until

days Telegram. He had tried various
other places in the State, but found
