ANOTHER BASEBALL
PLAYER ARRIVES

Baseball enthusiasts and mem
bers of the Nenana Athletic asso-
citation are rejoicing in the fact that
the ranks of the local organization
are to be added to, and materially
strengthened by the arrival in town
of Harold Anderson, son of Mr..
Herman Anderson of the local firm
of Anderson Bros. & Nerland. Mr..
Anderson brings a most enviable
record with him from the Outside,
having travelled in some of the
fastest company in Seattle, and
his presence in the Nenana line
up should add one more nail to
flag which will fly at the head of the
Nenana penant pole at the opening
of the season, and which it is con-
fidently expected will be there at
the close of the season, making
known to all that Nenana is as
heretofore, the champion of Inter-
iOr Alaska.

PLANS FOR LIBRARY
PROGRESS RAPIDLY

The temporary committee which
has the plans of the Nenana public
library in hand reports that more
than four hundred dollars has been
subscribed, and that a large order
of books is being prepared and
will be sent out Immediately. This
will assure the arrival of the books
in good season this summer. The
list includes an India paper edition
of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, an
up-to-date unabridged dictionary,
a good selection of the more solid
reading matter such as the philos-
ophers, historians, poets, ETC., and
a liberal selection of the best cur
rent fiction of the past few years.
Nenana should have one of the
best Libraries in the North and the
committee in charge deserves great
praise for the progress they have
made.

old, arrived in Nenana last Sunday
afternoon from Seattle. Mr.. An

of other things which Mr.. Ander-
son is having put up especially for

states that prices in all lines are
going sky high Outside, and that

did, as it enabled him to get the
best selections and to get his Or
ders booked as early as he did.
A large addition to the present
store building will be erected in
the near future, and a storage ware
house will also be built to accom-
modate the large stock which will

Did Splendid Work.
Mr.. DeJarnette was elected super
intendent OF schools Of the division
composed of Nansemond County and
the city OF Suffolk November /, 1918.
At that time the schools of Suf-
an enrolment OF 1882 and an aver
age attendance of Ss3. The schools
OF Suffolk were in good condition
when Mr. DeJarnette took hold OF
>them, but they have continued TO
grow. until with their broadened cur
riculum. they now have thirty-eight
rooms. with an enrolment of 1880
and an average attendance of 1.lS5.
Helped Develop County.
The development in Nansemond
County has been especially note
worthy on account OF the agricultural
work which has been done in the
Driver Agricultural High School and
the number of handsome consoli-
dated school buildings that have been
erected under the leadership of SUI
perintendent DeJarnette. During the
past three years he has built the
fourteen-room building in Holy Neck
District, costing $4,000: the sixteen
room building al Whaleyville. costing
s19. 600, and two dornitories at the
agricultural high school. costing $40
zoe each. In 1928 Nansemond
County had ten schools having three
rooms or more. and il now has ff-
teen schools OF this larger type.
OF Indomitabic Energy.
Superintendent DeJarnette was a
man OF jndof1ltaDiS eHeFEN ana pos
sessed zeal and enthusiasm which
were both contagious and irresisti-
bic He loved his schools with an
affection which led him to exert such
efforts in their behalf as few men
would have dared to attempt Dur
ing the last two or three years, for
example. he had succeeded in enlist
ing the active interest of the United
States Commissioner of Education to
almost as great an extent as that OF
his state superintendent and the To-
cal school officials One of his last
great efforts TO arouse interest and
achieve substantial results was the
plan which finally brought no less 4
parsonage than Hon. William Jen-
uings Bryan as the chief speaker at
one of the famous Nansemond Coun-
~ rallies. The entire school system
mourns the loss of a magnetic leader
and a true friend.

WINS BIG VICTORY
Fake Profit Sharing Piano FIRMS
Head Sent to Atlanta Penitcn-

DID BUSINESS IN RICHMOND
But IL Was in Baltimore That In

cufton of Case Aided by Leading
Music Houses OF Richmond.

CONVICTION yesterday in Baltimore
sharing piano business and two Of it's
statesmen is of great interest to pi-
ano dealers and others throughout
Virginia. since it places the court S
forms of the certificate plan used
by some dealers in the sale and dis
tribution of pianos. Sprenkle was
given eighteen months in the Federal
prison in Atlanta, and his two sales
men, Moore and Stevor. were fined
5000 and 800, respectively. the jury
recommending that mercy be granted
to the two employees.
Some months ago, while a profit

member of the Sprenkle family.

Mr.. John G.. Corley. OF this city,
one Of the leading dealers in musical
Instruments in the South, and then
president of the National Association
of Piano Dealers, went to Baltimore
and assisted in working up the case
against the SprenkIc combination.
which organization was not Counte-
nanced. by the regular dealers of the
country.
Advertisements Declined.
When the profit sharing house
opened in Richmond il began adver-
Using in the papers Of the city. and
The Virginian carried one or two OF
its advertisements. but learning the
nature of the business, declined to
carry them any longer The other
morning paper. however. continued
to print the advertisements until the
store was closed.
Part of the plan under which bust
ness was conducted vas to issue GER
tificates by which prices on stencil
pianos could be so increased as to
allow for the certificates given and
still get as much or more for the
pianos as was charged on the moor
of the other music houses in Balti-
more or elsewhere.
Legitimate dealers not only con-
demned the practice. but sought te
secure the conviction OF those respon-
sible for the employment of these
methods of doing business The YER
dict against Sprenkle and his en-
ployes In Baltimore Is a decided vic
tory for clean methods in the con
duct of this large. important and
growing business. Advertising clubs
and merchants associations are
fighting such methods of doing bust
ness. and misleading forms of adver-
Using, and the convictions in Balti-
