SHORT SCHEDULE is FAVORED
So Learns Bill PheIon as a Result of
His intervieWs-CIubs to Drop
Southern Trips.

A late start and an early closing for
next years major league schedules.
Five months of the game, beginning
May 1, ending October 1, and leaving
ample time for the worlds series and
for the special series which will sure
ly be demanded by the fans, with the
championship military team meeting
the winner of the regular classic. A
schedule consisting of 140 games, each
club playing 20 games with every team.
instead OF the former set of 22-such
are the ideas now prevailing among
the magnates, according to Bill Phe-
Ion, who has done some interviewing.
Long ago the clubs played 126 games,
then raised the limit to 40, but soon
hoisted this to 154. During the time
between April 10 and May 1, the play
ers can be conditioned under the eli
matte zones in which they have to do
their regular playing, and considera-
BILE money can be made by exhibition
games. The southern trips are not so
much In favor as in former days, and
at least half the clubs are likely to
drop them entirely.

GOLF PROFESSIONAL HONEST
He Just Wants to Appear Big and

Boosting About Himself.

Coming from a golf course. visitor

Seems to me your pro isn't play
ing as well as he used to. Am l
right?"
You're right, but don't know the
reason" was the reply.
Thereupon another member re-
marked: "I'll tell you what's the mat
ter. The pro has spoofed so much
about his scores that every time he
goes out to play he has to try to equal
those figures. Hence he is continual
ly pressing, and naturally he gets
worse and worse.
HE is living, breathing example
of the value of honesty in the game.
Now, understand me, / don't mean to
say he exaggerates to injure any
body. He just wants to appear big
and important and can't keep from
boasting."

remark; she was too greatly excited
by the prospect of Sunday school. And
the very next weekday school would
begin!
BY this first week In September the
little girl was quite settled in her new
home at The Corners. Prince was still
a doubtful addition to the family. both
Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose plainly hav-

gard to the little girl herself, the
hardware merchant and the house
keeper were of one opinion. even
though they did not admit it to each
other.

Scottish Sporting Writers Beginning

Some of those Scotch sporting writ

something to baseball. A Glasgow

Canadian soldiers, wrote: "After all,
it is rather difficult to strike streak

baton, and when the fielders have all
the prehensile certainty Of our Simian

The Business Outlook.

TimOrous and distrustful people
must be amaZed to look at the
statistics and see how these support
the theory that the business situa.
ito o is Fundamentally sound
Take bank clearines. For Febru-
AIRY these were l59 per cent above
those of February 1918 During
that mouth last year. the country's
industries were running on the
highest pressure of history. Every
one was at work at large wages.
A tremendous output of munitions
was being turned out for sale to
Europe. And yet the turnover of
money this year is away ahead of
last year.
OF course prices are higher now
than they were last year. 40 that
exchange of an equal volume of
co mmodItles would make a 0lgger
total in dollars. The latest govern
ment price figures are those for last
November. They show an increase
of prices from February 1918 to
November of only 10 per cent.
And since that time there has pro
ba bly, been no advance. So busi-
ness has advanced about 16 per
cent while the advance in prices
has been only 10 per cent, The
net gain is accomplished while the
munition and war work has been
stopping.
Taken another sure indicator of
bu usiness, the record of commercial
failures. In February there were
only 602 failures, the lowest in
Monroe City Democrat., 1919-03-28

American history. Last year in the
first six months of 1918 the month
ly average Of failures was 981. In
one week 10 March there were only
1877 failures, against 247 year ago
Figures like these indicate that

war, is richer than ever. fhe peo.

to be good.

Big Garden Year.

Home gardening is starting off
this year in every section of the
country with the momentum gained
during the two gardening seasons
10 which the United States was at
war. This is the conclusion drawn
from reports to the garden specia-
lists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture from garden
leaders in most of the States: Ac-
cording to these reports gardening
has spread;to every element of the
people and has become fixed fact
or in city and suburban as well as

by amateur gardeners 10 past sea-

character, this year is expected to
