Suffered From Injury
Feeling an all round nervous de.

back, Herzog left for his farm in
Maryland to loaf around and mend as
rapidly as he could. 1t appears from
the recent announcem ent of the Giant
club owners that they did not regard
Herzog's injury as serious as he
seemed to find it and he was ordered
to report and stay with the team
even though he didn't play.

Big Help to Games.

Giant fans are hoping that there
will soon be a settlement of the fuss
and that Herzogs health will rapidly
repair. There is no doubt about the
value of the peppery little second
sacker to the Giants and If they are
obliged TO play the worlds series
without him he will be missed.
Herzog Is the teams captain and
aside from being a fielder of speed
and genius he is the handspring Of
the team and the source of most of
its pep. When he joined the Giants
last season he was an important
cause of the long list of straight vic
tories the Giants won that made
them a leading feature of the season.
McGraw has always taught his men
aggressiveness and ginger, but with.
out Herzog in the lineup TO help them
put it into practice the team would
be not quite the same.

Some time ago a Bowie
man conceived the idea of
tracing the travels of a silver
dollar. A silver dollar was
tagged and a notation was
made asking each recipient to
sign his or her name thereon.
A record of the travels of the
dollar was duly made on the
tag, and in a comparatively
short space of time it came
back into the hand of the
original owner, afterchanging
hands twenty = eight times
and paying for twenty-eight
dollars in value received. 1t
is the active dollar that does
the work. Pay that dollar

The announcement of the Rhodes

70 HELP MAKE NATION DRY

Phoenix. Ariz. - Ambitious to have
Arizona in line in concerted move
me1lt to promote national Prohibition,
the Anti-Saloon League Of America is
opening campaign that involves a
national Prohibition rally in every
town and city in the State during the
next two months.
70 open this campaign, one OF tho
strongest workers in the League, Mr..
Edward H. Daley, has just arrived
in Phoenix to negotiate the necessary
arrangements and make the dates.
The opening gun will be fired in
Phoenix on September 8, DR.. Louis
Albert Banks being the speaker. For
some years, DR.. Banks has been one
of the strongest advocates on the
Leagues big roll of spellbinders and
he will speak, following the Phoenix
date. with an address in every large
city in the State, speaking continually
until October Following the Banks
rallies, Mr. Daley will continue speak
ing in the State for two months to
come.
The. speakers expect to reach every
citizen of the State, presenting the
project of national Prohibition, for
which the 26 dry States have banded
themselves together to promote. The
remaining wet States are having trou-
bles of their own and, for this reason,
the nationwide campaign is being
pushed in the States that have out
lawed the saloons and so know the
benefits of the dry policy.
AN ORGANIZED CAMPAIGN
By vote of approximately two to
one, the United States Senate recently
voted to submit to the States an
amendment to the Federal constitution
forever prohibiting the liquor traffic,
which amendment must be ratified by
the States within six years to be eff
fective. The same measure is now
pending in the House of Representa-
tives, which must pass the measure
by a two-thirds vote in order to make
