TWO GAMES WILL
 BE PLAYED HERE
 WITH PELS TODAY

The Barons will play two games today against the New Or leans Pelicans, the same bunch which busted the Birmingham crew from top place, where they had been resting these past three weeks.
 There will be morning game and an afternoon affair. The morn ing game begins at 1O:3O. while the afternoon clash is scheduled to start mt 3;3O.
 Business Manager Billy West is looking for large crowds to come dropping through the gates of the old park today. Aside from the usual large delegation which has been witnessing the Barons in their past performances. quite n number of Out-of-tOwn fans are expected to journey out to the game.
 The Pels completely swamped the local crew yesterday, winning a II to Q game. Dixie Walker allowed the Barons only two hits. The Pels are only one point ahead of the Barons. Today's double header will tell the tale.
 Gla.ner and Coffindaffcr will most likely twirl the two games for the Barons. Johnny Dobbx' selections have not been made pub- lie yet.

The Cincinnati champions made
 slight gain over Brooklyn for
 the National leadership. Although
 the Reds are batting lightly, their
 pitchers held their opponents to
 average Of about 21a runs q
 game last week. Brooklyn and
 Chicago both are enjoying good
 pitching again. The Superbas
 have been batting lightly, but to-
 day pounded out 31 hits for IS runs

 phia. The Cubs, however, lost a
 battle for third place today to St.

 able to check the Cardinals. CSOSTON BRAVES
 CONTIIUE TO WIN
 The Boston Nationals continued their winning play of the previous week by timely batting. Philadelphia lacks scoring power. The Pittsburg twirl- CTS are handicapped by light hitting. New Works slugging is offset by un- steady pitching
 In the American League, Chicago outbatted the league leaders last week. but was unable to attain the same win ming pace. Close scores marked the Boston and Washington contests. John son of the Senator is in especially good form, pitching a three-hit and d no hit game last week. St. Louis is displaying sees saw form. Detroit and Philadelphia are falling in the ruck. To advance one position, the Tigers require a gain that would nearly equal an advance from last to first place in the National League. The Athletics ended their losing streak at eighteen games and then began another sstretch of defeats.

 It was trying day for the ball players. It rained before the game started. Play was halted in the second inning for fifteen minutes. The pill was slippery and men who never before muffed became butter- fingered with the water-soalSed ball, Barnhart, Birmingham's third baseman, making several errors which helped the PeIicans along to pile up their big score.
 Because of the rain, street car strike and many other things, only one game was played. The fans here showed that they are willing to patronixe good team, for more than 2.0OO of them were in the park when the umpires called "Play baII,o although some of them had to walk to get there.

CAMPAIGN ISSUES.

The politicians appear to be expert
encing more than the customary diff
ficulty in selecting issues and candi-
dates for the approaching campaign.
Their work has been complicated to a
considerable degree by the introduction
OF the presidential preferential pri-
mary into a number of states. Be
sides this the voters have grown so
independent that there no longer is
assurance that they will accept the is
sues provided for them. They may at
any time make their own issue, indie
pendent of those set up.
The voters may refuse to be lined
up on one side or the other of the
League of Nations question, prohibit
ton or any other of the numerous is
sues now being contemplated by the
party leaders.
AS an illustration of how issues are
made it may be pointed out that Mr..
Mondell and his friends in congress
ditures, and Mr.. McAdoo.' after a talk
with the president, has a scheme to
cut down taxation by postponing pay
ment of debts in some way or other.
But vast as our debt is in compare
tive terms, and terrified as some peo-
pie are because economic laws have
refused to obey the statutory edict that
the value of money shall not change.
this country manages to stagger\ along
somehow. Despite, too, the gentlemen
who trembie because there is so much
prosperity, and those prophets of evil
who can see nothing but trouble in the
fact that farmers and laboring men
are getting a fairer share of the prof
its of their labor, men will live and
women laugh and children play for
many years to come.
We should revise our taxation system
which is unscientific and burdensome,
and the formulation of the revision
ought to begin at once, but any who
imagine that everything is going to
ruin should realize that if the wheels
of industry are permitted to run free
] ly the payment of the whole gigantic
debt will not offer even SO difficult a
problem as that which faced the
! financiers who undertook to liquidate
the obligations incurred for the armies
of the revolution.
! While men can-earn the wages that
are now paid in the United States, and
can buy with those wages the things
fthey can. buy, and can enjoy the con-
1 veniences of life which are available
for even the humblest citizen. it does
not do to despair of the republic. And
political leaders will find much diff
Guilty in interesting the people in cut
and dried campaign issues. designed to
enable a chosen few to obtain public
office.

worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Tho Indifferent sweetheart-2.

1t also falls under their daily obser-
walton that is it the girls who are the
craziest for attention from men who
get the least of 1t, that the maidens
who are anxious to marry remain old
maids, that it is the slave wives who
are most neglected by their husbands
and that in the great majority of cases
the worse q woman treats a man the
more he appears to esteem her, and
the more anxious he is to please her
The French have a proverb to the
effect that in love one kisses, and the
other permits himself, or herself, TO be
kissed. Nothing is truer, and wise is
the woman who assumes the role of
the kissee. 1t is the only way in which
she has any assurance of getting kisses
that are favored with romance and
warm with sentiment instead of being
the luke warm flabby kisses of duty.
The greatest mistake that a woman
can make in love is to let a man find
out that she is on the anxious seat
waiting for him to come along and
knowledge that he can take her up.
or put he; down, as he pleases makes
him leave her where she is. She has
cheapened herself to him, and nobody
is wild over bargain.
Probably The telephone has done
more than any other one thing to
blight loves young dream, and is more
responsible for the increase in the
number of spinsters, because no man
wants to marry the girl who calls him
up at his business and hounds him
over the wire, about coming to see
her, and making dates with him. 1t
gives. him a trapped feeling that makes
him hang on to his bachelor freedom
with death grip.
The second great mistake woman
make in love is making -labit Of
themselves. The men they love can
always depend on them being Sally-on-
the-spot. They are ready to forgive
everything, to overlook everything,
and consequently man takes no pains
TO consider their pleasure or convent
ence.
Why keep an appointment with
Mary if it is inconvenient? Her well
come will be just as warm the next
time. Why bother to send Sally
flowers, or remember her birthday?
She knows you are busy and don't like
to go shopping anyway. and she don't
say anything. but you have to be on
you're p's and as with Mary. who will
go off with somebody else IL you do
not show up, and with Gladys who ex-
poets the homage due queen.
My advice TO the girl with an in
different sweetheart is to beat him at
his own game of Indifference. Don't
be at home-when he comes. Show
him that you can have a perfectly
good time when he is not about. Let
him wait for you when you have ap-
pointments together. Let him watch
for the letter that never comes;
Indifference Is a nnalady that is best
treated on the homeopathic principle
that like cures like.
