In Mabel's opinion, the whole view
was there for only one purpose-to
form fitting background for the
broad-shouldered figure of John. Shirt

and supporting his favorite briar in
one hand, he leaned against the gran
lite gatepost and thought things out.

thick mop of hair into his head, she
knew his thoughts. She also knew they
had been the same for weeks.
She watched him gravely, her hands

could never solve his problem alone.
Mabel wiped her hands deliberately,
still gazing fixedly from the window.
She felt that the. moment for her to
act had come. Leaving the dishes un-
washed in the pan, she sped through

painting at Johns side.

she could not lift her eyes. Staring
hard at the pipe in his hand, she sought

Wood Pulp Is Scarce

Washington, Nov. 80 - Because of
the growing scarcity OF wood pulp and
timber therefor, Senator Gronna,
chairman of the com mittee on agri-
culture and forestry, has announced
that the committee will make a
survey of the Industry. Senator
Gronua pointed out that the scarcity
was such as to be a most serious

IT seems the peace treaty is

IT seems the peace treaty is
not dead. Senator Lodge, on
account of whose reservations
the presidents supporters in
the senate rejected the pact,
says he is, ready to work for
ratification when the admins
4tration forces indicate a will
9ingness to accept the reserva-
tions. He contends that the
reservations do not nullify the
treaty, but only Americanize
it, which is laudable from the
American viewpoint. Now,
recent dispatches tend to
show that the allies would ac-
cept American ratification
with the reservations; that
they are inclined to grant
concessions, just to get the
United States into the league
of nations. 1t is claimed that
without American aid the
other nations cannot hope to
make the league a success.

BECAUSE seven planets are

there are no grounds for wild

the world would be destroyed

work on the arena under way, and
word from both fighters that "alls
well" Ter Richard, promoter of the
fight today turned his attention to
the stream of "golden mail" that has
been flowing into his office here for
the past few days, mail containing
certified checks, cash, and requests
for seats.
The advance demand for seats gives
the coming battle all the earmarks of
a record-breaker as to cash receipts.
Checks from several Middle West
sporting clubs, ranging from 81 900 to
$1,000 for blocks of seats for "cIub
members" have been received
Richard said he refused one check
for $50, 900 because he feared the
tickets were intended for scalpers.
simultaneously with the issuing Of
permit for the fight yesterday, the
Toledo Ministerial Union, an organi-
zation Of 500 churches, filed a formal
protest against the fight Copies of
the protest were mailed to Governor
Cox and John Matthias, sheriff of
Lucas county.

The baseball draft has been killed.
If Jack Dunn wants to keep every
one of his players. there is nothing
under the sun to compel him to part
with any Of them. He may sell any
player he sees fit, but he can't be
made to do so. In other words. the
Class IA leagues may start in again
in 1920 with every one Of their play
ers. Fine business,
In cutting down their player limit
to twenty-one. the majors played
right into the hands of the minors.
The National League has seen this,
and. accordingly, has raised it's limit
to twenty-five, the former limit. The
American League will follow suit in
all likelihood
1t would not be startling II the
major leagues agreed to go along in
1920 without making any wild effort
to obtain new men from the minors.
Indeed, the International League
lacks its oIdtime class, ranking in
performance hardly higher than
Class B of old days The players are
not worth even the old draft price.
1t would be a sad joke at the ex-
pense Of the bushers If they ran
along to Labor Day on a shoestr.nE
and then, just when they were bank
ing on splitting even by dragging
down some coin for players they
found nothing, absolutely nothing
awaiting them. 1t would be rough
that's what it'd be. But that's abou
what is coming to them.
AS a result Of this situation. an,
because of its gravity. the minor
leagues are expected to make other
arrangements with the majors before
the 1920 campaign begins.
