He described in a very interesting way some of the pre- war problems of smaller communities, especially in Massachusetts; also in Virginia, where he had been recently and of one town where he was the first stranger to arrive in eight months. He outlined several particu- lar activities which smaller communi- ties could engage in to their own in- terest and advantage; shape of pro- gramme for good times" as well as for civic advancement. He suggested dramatic entertainments, a communi- ty chorus and possibly a pageant de- picting local history as affording op- portunities for Ashford.

vaiiing in the Southern league
 Preliminary details for the playing of the post-season series between the South ern league and Texas league were ar ranged by President Martin of the South ern and Doak Roberts, president of the Texas league. Seven games will be played and the players will share in the proceeds of the first four games. The conditions of the series will be along the lines of the worlds series. No date to start the series was decided upon. but as the Southern and Texas league seasons end on the same day, the series will follow probably immediately
 The schedule committee, which is com posed of Frank Reynolds, vice president of the Atlanta club; John D. Logan, president of the Mobile club, and George Hutchinson secretary of the Nashville club, will meet in Nashville January g.. Reynolds was named chairman of the committee. Mike Finn, identified with making Southern league schedules since 1902, was named to assist the committee in preparing the schedule. Finn, who has managed various clubs in the league, is now scout for the Detroit Americans, a job he has held since 1915.
 Admission prices remain the same as the last season-40 cents for general ad- mission.

 In voting to attend the Chicago meet ing in a body. the Southern league prob ably established a precedent in minor league baseball. John D. Martin, presi- dent of the league, stated that the league would defray the expenses of the presi- dent and representative of each of the eight clubs to the meeting.

HERMAN HAS NO
 SET-UP TONIGHT

<Pete Herman, the New Orleans champion, may feel the weeks of com pa rative inactivity in which he has been indulging the past year when he meets Joe Lynch the New York ban tamweight championship contender.
 The Crescent City lad has been meet ing only the "lemons," and few of them recently, and, of course. has not been forced 10 put up the fight of which he is capable. Perhaps, if he were pushed hard. he would find diff culty in rising to the occasion as easily as he could when he won the cham pionship.
 Joe Lynch is no set-up. In fact he's mighty dangerous man for Herman to meet, He may prove sure-enough demon to the champ before tonight is over.

FRANCHISES EXTENDED

FRANCHISES EXTENDED
 Franchises were extended for no years, to expire December 15 1880. When the Southern league decided to dsband dur ing June, 1918, season on account of the war, it was resolved at the meeting in Birmingham in June of that year to ex- tend the franchise 10 years. but no official action was taken until yester- day, when the eight club presidents signed franchise certificates. The docu- ments were handsomely engraved. The suggestion at the Birmingham meeting to extend the franchises 10 years was made by President Martin and unani- mously adopted yesterday.
 Proposed revision of the salary limit and player limit was deferred until the spring meeting in Little Rock. 1t is the ccncensus of opinion that the player limit will remain at 15, the same as last sea- son, but there will be probably an in- crease in the salary limit. The national association, the governing body of the minors at their Kansas City meeting empowered Class A leagues to increase teeir salary limit to a maximum of S,250 The limit in the Southern last season was $3,500, but it is almost cer- tainty that the limit next season will be at least as high as 4,50O
 Several club owners, it Is known. are in favor of increasing the waiver price, which was s4o0 last season.
 The Southern s-leaguers will be quite busy next month. The schedule commit- tee meets in Nashville January 8. Two days will likely be consumed. Then the league will attend the Chicago meet ing, starting January 10, ana ,ncn so to Little Rock for the spring meeting, start ing January IA

The truth is that not one of these
kickers and winners is entitled to the
prosperity that he has enjoyed since
Woodrow Wilson assumed affairs at
Washington eight years ago. Take
this town of Manson. for instance.
Both banks have never enjoyed such
prosperity as they have endured"
during Democratic times. Both of
them have spent between $4,000 and
$40. 900 in building or rebuilding their
banking houses and both have increas-
ed their capital stock, while the re-
sourses of both have increased five
or six times during that period
Of Democratic depression, and their de-
posits are now five or six times as
large during the flush of Republican
prosperity. Not only the uanks here
have been forging ahead ander Demo-
cratic adversely, tut every merchant in
town, who is IT all alive. nas felt the
awful ''reverse English of Demo-
cratic hard times and Wilsonian mis-
rule.
Every m IN in this town who wants
job at the biggest wages he ever
worked for or ever heard of, has that
JOB. Ever. man who works is pros
porous. There have been no business
failures. Every farmer has MADE
money if he attended to his business.
Every foot of land around this town is
today worth nearly four times what it
was under Republican prosperity. In
the face of these facts, just keep on
whining and kicking and if enough of
you keep at it. mayne you'll scare up q
Republican victory in the nation next
November and then 60 back to your
beloved Republican prosperity. with its
full dinner pail and quar- er section of
pie and all that lovely rubbish you used
to hear 50 much about. But don't for
get to salt down a whole lot of the
good money you have made in these
times of Democratic adversely. You'll
need it.
