enlightenment about this strange
camp, his explanation is something
like this:
America came into the war with
both feet, banking on at least three
years of it, which was the safe
thing to do. Our government made
contracts with British manufactur-
ers to supply our army with tons
of war material, from a tin tack to
steam roller. The British fac
tories built new plants and took On
new hands to meet our needs, and
deliveries were gong smoothly
when the armistice was signed.
"If we had scrapped our con-
tracts then, some British firms
might have been driven into bank
ruptcy, putting thousands of men
out of work and leaving the fac
tories with tons of useless material
on their hands So the United
States government merely can
Celled orders for material that had
not been actually started on, and

what they had in hand.

MINOR LEAGUES TO
MEET ON MARCH 20

Chicago, ILL.,, March 1S.-Repre-
sentatives of all the minor leagues
which have arranged to start the
season of 1919 have been called to
a conference in Chicago on March
90 with a view to perfecting a new
organization to conform to the sit
uation caused by the recent with
drawal of the minors from the ma
tiOnal agreement that hitherto has
governed professional baseball.
1t is the expectation of the club
owners that reorganization can
be effected which will enable the
minors to govern themselves more
SUCCESSFULLY than in the past and do
away with constant appeals to the
national commission to decide dis
putes for them. In the meantime
by a sort of gentleman's agreement
the former national agreement is
regarded as operative in deals
which interest both major and
minor league clubs.

WILL FANS BACK
SEMI-PR0 BALL?
Question VIII be Decided at 0rgani-
cation OF Tri-City League Meet
ing Tonight.
ALL URGED TO BE PRESENT
Everyone Interested in Formation
of Circuit Asked to Attend
Many Clubs Available.

Do tFi-city baseball fans want
crack semi-pro ball this season bad
ly enough to support it should a
semi-pro league be formed?
That is the question desired set
tied at a meeting of fans, managers
and hackers of professional
. baseball in the tri-cities, to be held
at the Times auditorium this even
ing.
Looking at the matter from ID
boosters standpoint, everything
seems favorable for top notch pro-
fessional ball in the tri-cities this
season. The war is over, the boys
are coming back in good athletic
than ever. There will be no draft,
the diamond, if anything. greater
tina never. There will be no draft,
as was the case last year, to break
up the mines by calling different
men to the colors.
Wartime conditions. adverse to
maintenance of successful base
ball. caused the disorganization of
the Tri-City league formed last sea-
son. This year most of those con-
ditions have been removed.
1t will be decided this evening
whether six or eight clubs will COM
pose the Circuit, but it is assured by
leaders in the movement that only
crack organizations will be given
membership. Among those expect
ed to make up the league are teams
representing the Illinois Oil COM
pany of Rock Island, the Federals
of Moline, the Club House of Mo-
line, and the Boosters, Overlands
and Locomotives of Davenport It is
understood that several other tri-
city teams are also seeking admis-
sion.
To Name Officers.
Tonight officers of the league will
be chosen and a definite organiza-
ton perfected. 1t is the desire this
year that the league be established
upon a firm financial basis before
the opening of the playing season
and to this end several entertain
ments will be given to raise neces-
sary funds.
Leaders in the semi-pro move
ment are confident that even should
Moline have league ball, the semi
professional sport can live and
thrive if given proper start.

Bailey elephants down Fifth ave-
nue. in a parade for the united war
fund campaign. During the return
trip. Mrs. Whites elephant, Lena.
commenced to perform the most
absurd gyrations, waltZing and
standing on it's hind legs, and Miss
White was compelled several times
to hang on to the elephantine ear
to keep from being thrown to the
ground. She was amazed at the
antics of Lena, said to be the
quietest elephant at the circus,
until one of the keepers told her
that some of the pins affixing the
war fund money to her clothing
were jabbing the elephant, and
Lena. accustomed to obey the goad
as a signal for her tricks during
the performances undoubtedly
thought she was being jabbed to
do her stunts on the street. This
accounted for her wild actions and
after the offending pins were re-
moved, Lena marched quietly back
to the Lambs club.

Greasy salves and ointments should
not be applied if good clear skin is

When applied as directed it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching,
and heals skin troubles, also sores,
