BIG SALIVA DEATH RATE
306 Persons Died During 1918, but
Births Were 427.

Safina. Kan, Jan. 3.-Deaths in the
year 1918 broke all mortality records
in the history of Salina, there having
been 305 deaths in all. The previous
high record was 222, which was in
1917.
The year 1918 would not have been
unusual had it not been for the in
fluenza epidemic in October, Novem-
Der and early December, during which
time the deaths averaged almost two
day. Even with this heavy death
rate, the mortality record was not as
great as the birth rate, there having
been APT births within the year, a
record that was also heavy.

APPEAR THE
ADCONVENTION

New York, July 22.-Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, has accepted a place
on the program of the world conven-
ton of advertising, to be held in New
Orleans, Sept. 81 to 25, as a partici-
pant in a conference which will un-
dertake to determine first. the terms
upon which the employer and employee
can agree and thereby insure increas-
ed production and, second, what ad-
vertising can do to help promote such
an understanding between capital and
labor as will make greater production
possible.
To insure prosperity, we must have
not only such production as marked
the period of the war, but it must be
increased still further, for the pur-
chasing power of the people, upon
which markets must be based, is di-
rectly controlled by what they can
produce for the markets of the world.
Mr.. Gompers, speaking for labor,
will be followed by an employer equal
ly high as a representative Of capital.
and it is also planned to have a man
of international reputation present a
summary of these two addresses on
the following day. outlining the things
upon which capital and labor agree

MINORS WILL
CONTEST THE
MAJOR DRAFT

The long expected feud has virtual
ly opened. The National League fired
the first gun last week. The battle
between the majors and the minors
might easily be said to be in progress
now, and before another baseball sea-
son opens, the big line magnates VIII
probably be in some court denying that
their system is in violation OF the Sher-
man antitrust act.
The disagreement is short and to the
point. Last spring the minor leagues,
represented in the National Associa-
ton of Baseball Clubs, abrogated their
agreement with the majors, whereby
the latter had full use of the draft. The
little fellows" decided they were not
getting their share of coin and glory.
They believed they were devlop1ng the
talent and the majors were getting full
benefit of their work, at rock bottom
prices.
Everything was thought to have been
settled. But only last week the mag
mates of the National League refused
to accept the stand of the minors, and
in a resolution, declared they still had
their full powers in the draft, and
would exercise that power this fall.
The stand of the National owners was
not only a surprise, but to the stu
dents of the game it signifies or fore
shadows legal battle. The American
League has taken no action on the
matter as yet, but advices from New
York indicate that Ben Johnson's crew
will follow suit in the immediate fu-
ture.
The National League owners are go
ing to contest the right of the minors
to abrogate their agreement to work
in harmony with the majors along
draft lines. They will probably charge
the small fry with violating the Sher-
man act, for blocking the natural pro-
gress of ball player. There are no
less than dozen interesting ques-
tions involved in the controversy, and
there are many who declare such a
legal battle will have some very i'm
portant bearing on the suit of the
Baltimore Feds against organized ball
which is still pending with the verdict
in favor of the Feds outfit. The ma
jors will doubtless attempt to draft
this season as in the past.

prosperity.
1t was announced at the headquar-
tiers offices Of the Associated Adver-
Using Clubs of the World here to-
day, that the advertising convention
this year. would. as has been the GUS
tom in the past. comprise department
al meetings representing the various
interests in advertising, and that these
departmentals, or separate conven-
lions, meeting in the afternoons, will
take up for discussion the same gen.
eral theme. each endeavoring to dis
cover how it can advance the move
ment for the application OF advertis-
ing to the great problem of continued
and increased production.
In connection with the national ex-
hibit Of adyerti4ing, which is a fea-
lure Of the ANIMAL meetings, it Is
advertising used by manufacturers,
retailers and other employers in
bringing worker and employer to a
better understanding Of their proper
relationships.
by no means has the effect of
such advertising been to educate the
working man alone" said P. S. F1orea,
executive manager of the Associated
Advertising Clubs. Whenever a COM
pany has advertised for the purpose
of creating a better spirit, it has
been faced, first, with the fact that
before it could advertise, it would be
compelled to adopt policies fair to its
men. and it has realized that many
steps are necessary to establish and
maintain the proper relationship be-
tween employer and worker. And such
advertising campaigns as we believe
will grow out of this discussion at
the New Orleans meeting will not be
designed to influence the worker alone
for in many instances, the employer
needs to be educated quite as much
as does the worker"
