Buy Bonds! Buy Bonds!
Written by George shtofman, 10
Years Old, No. 726 Market Street.

Now Is your chance,
To help our boys In France,
It is up TO you,
What are you
Going TO do7
II you mean TO be In ease over Here
And for nothing have to fear,
Buy Bonds
Do you want Uncle Sam TO tax US
Which will make some fuss,
Rememberl the nineteenth Of October
Is the last day,
To help our boys who are so far away
Not every patriot buys a nifty. dollar
bond or more,
To help Uncle Sam win the war,
A real patriot goes to his limit.
SO for this war, we must win II.
Do you want those Germans 10 come
over here?
Do you want to see American blood flow
and tear2
II you do not,
You are a patriot.
Rememberl It's your son,
Who is licking the Hun,
And TO show for Uncle Sam you are
fond,
You must buy Liberty Bond

DAUBERTS c 0NTRACT
FIT FOR MUSEUM

II the major leagues ever organize a
museum of baseball they would do we'll
to obtain from Jake Daubert his famous
tlve-year contract with the Brooklyn
club. This famous Documents hor-
rible example Of the Federal League
period of legal baseball architecture
has just expired, after bringing into
the Daubert bank account a little less
than $4,000. The full amount called
for was $4,000, but the cessation Of
league competition on September cost
Daubert something over 5000. This
something has brought his contract
into the limelight, for Daubert sued
Ebbets and the Mckeeyers for the
amount which the Governments order
kept the first baseman from collecting.
The Daubert document stated:
THE club agrees to pay the player,
for the season OF 1914 1915, 1916, 1917
and 1918, beginning on or about the
iIth day OF April In each Of said years,
and ending on or about the l4th day
Of October In each Of said years,
salary at the rate Of nine thousand
$4,000 dollars a season."
In addition the contract had elimi-
mated from 1t the ten days notice Of
release clause, and also had inserted
therein the followiEgi
1T Is further understood and agreed
that the services Of the party OF the
second part shall not be released, as
signed, traded or transferred, without
the consent Of the party Of the second
part"
It is quite safe to say that the recon-
struction in the big leagues Will in
clude a determination among the own
ers to do away with contracts such as
that which Daubert got. Long term
documents Of any kind are done for and
The game VIII be the better for their
elimination.

regular Red Cross nurse from the
Miami Valley hospital IN charge as
teacher. The class meets each Mon
day and Thursday evening at the Red

our Red Cross representative, on the
.opportunitics and demands of the
times and the necessity Of taking ad-
vantage Of each opening that IS made
for us.
Since SO many OF our own nurses
in the various hospitals where our
women are being trained, are enroll

that there will be some openings made
where some Dayton woman who SO
desires and so qualities may enter

NOTES or TIE n. 4. 4. q. 3.

The president takes this opportu-
nifty Co inform the Dayton Branch
and the public that the N. A. A. G,
r. has withdrawn its assistance TO
Dr. Leroy Bundy Of East st, Louis,
H., because of its discovery that Dr.
Bundy's seeming misapplication Of
funds given him for his legal defence
and his refusal to give an account
ing for such funds. DR.. Bundy's idea
is that he should "pay his personal
living expenses out of funds be may
raise but tells Of no definite plan
To raise money to assist IN his de-
Tense. The Association retained at
the outset of the case competent
and well-known attorneys TO defend
DR.. Bundy'' under the personal SUI
pervision Of Hon. Charles Nagel OF
st. Louis, former secretary Of COM
merce under President Taft, with the
approval and consent of Pr. Bundy
and had already paid them the sum
Of $1,500.00, as fees to represent pr,
Bundy No others We're needed than
these two law firms; but that the
Doctors general conduct and lack Of
frankness in vital matters compel the
Association to withdraw from him
its support.
The public is also Informed that it
ought not judge the character Of the
official faculty Of the organization by
the apparent or proved weakness OF
one, or even two Of its members. One
swallow does not make a summer, It
is desired that some, at least, of the
evils which are heaped upon colored
people IN Dayton be attacked. TO
this we all say, Amen. But it will
be more than stupid to attack blindly
or attack weakly. And then, we need
individuals, suffering to be bold and
courageous; to stick to their COM
plants If just, no matter what hap-
pens; not to sell out; not to eompro-
mise; not to be weak-hearted and
fearful. Where the people are weak
the leaders will be weak. We can
kick out weak leader; but how shall
we deal with weak people? Be
strong, my people!

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ga sweep
ing move to force neutral shipping
into service almost exclusively be-
tween the United States and the allied
nations is under consideration by this
government.
The plan contemplated would pro-
vide a special board of imports, under
the war trade board, whose efforts
would be centered on restricting TO
the minimum imports to this country
and dispensing entirely with shipping
in OF non-essential goods.
The use of neutral ships in shipping
supplies from this country to France
is now absolutely necessary, IT Is
stated. Cold weather has cut ship
construction sixty per cent. Chairman
Hurley of the shipping board told
President Wilson yesterday. II Ameri-
ca is to land 100000 men in France,
approximately 100000 tons Of ship
ping will be necessary to transport
and supply them.
By restricting the imports into this
country from fifty to sixty per cent
CT the deficit threatened In American
ship building through extreme wealth

stead of imports for the United States.
