LAMAR VIII Fave.
First Improvement District Hai
Alrssdy Been Organised.


After many false starts and back
ups and startOvers Lamar business
men have at last succeeded in or
ganizing Q paving district to take in
the most important sections OF
Main street.
A petition signed by three
fOurths Of the property holders has
been presented to the city council
and they have ordered the work Of
taking the necessary legal steps for
perfecting the district organization
and the issuance OF bonds for pay
ing the expense to be done. This
has been Q process OF many slips
and disappOintments but will be
all the more satisfactory when final
ly secured.
1t was equally hard at the start
to get the sidewalk districts organ
lied but no section Of the city hav-
ing the sidewalk would consider
now doing without them, and the
residence property in these districts
is twice as valuable as that out
side.
1t will only be q few years after
one street Is paved until most of
our city will decided on the same
imprOvement.-Lamar Register.

tat0rs looked on in nervous expect
ancy. Great was the disappOint-
ment, however, when it was found
that the cases contained nothing
more potable than horse liniment
and face powder. The goods found
are supposed to have been stolen
from . freight train by some one in
search OF patent medicines with q

thieves secured q number Of re-
juvenated and exhilirating patent
medicines which produce effects
sought after by the thirsty. The

As Tn, Corbett
 Tells H

| Magnates who pay huge sums of money 1 for seasoned baseballers always take a big chance. But it is a proven fact that such investments are winners in about eight cases out of ten.
 1 It's hardly worth while to comment on the Yankees venture in the stock of one Babe Ruth The owners paid s125,0o0 or so for him-and will make d 900 coo or
 more net profit through the venture. And
 they'll still have Ruth.
 A few years ago the Cleveland Indians became possessed of Iris Speaker-and were shorn of about s55.00o It looked for time like a suicidal financial ven ture for the club. It looked doubtful if Speaker ever would be worth even half that sum to the team. But Speaker al. ready has more than paid for himself and he isn't half finished with his divi- dend distribution work.
 When Speaker joined the Indians tho
 team was in the rut--drawing poorly,
 playing likewise. Iris gngered up the outfit and soon it became one of the
 best drawing cards on the road-@soon the home town fans were swarming again in to the Cleveland park Through 1919 alone Speakers work as player and manager brought the team to sucn heights a drawing cards that he alone i netted for the outfit a profit clear to what had been paid for his services
 A 1000 PER CENT MANAGER
 And now Speaker, fielding in the sue perb fashion that has made him immor- tai. batting near the 400 mark and man. aging close to 1000 per cent has the In- dans fighting it out for the pennant. Without Speaker the Indians this year probably would be nowhere. With Speaker they look like pennant win- ners. And that means profits of from $25o,00O to more than s50000 for the own CTS who paid $55,o00 for him three or four years ago.
 When Charlie Comiskey parted with close to s5o,Ooo for Eddie Collins and gave about s35, 900 for Joe Jackson 1t looked as if he had made bad move. But those two players made it possible for the White Sox to mingle in two world se- ries clashes, and today they are potent factors in the uphill fight the sox arc making toward the crest of the Ameri- can League heap Minus these two men, Comiskey probably would not have won pennants either in 1917 or 1918. With them. he annexed two pennants and one worlds championship-an a profit of about $o0o000 on those two seasons alone.
 ALEXANDER WORTH PRICE
 Grover Cleveland Alexander nicked the Cub bankroll for $5o.00O But Grover has been worth it-this season alone. His great pitching has kept the Cubs near to the top. If he had any sustained help. he would fling them into another world series tilt. Perhaps before the season is much further along. Alex will get the assistance he needs from the Cuh pitch- ing mates. will get little better batting support and better fielding-and may yet win a pennant. If he does, he'll pay for himself twice over
 Benny Kauff cost the Giants s3o,0oo or so-and he's in the minors now. But the point is that Kauff, while, with the Giants through 1916 and 1917 enabled them to make the worlds record for consecutive wins and helped them into worlds

Hutchinson Wins Open
 Golf Title
Jim Barnes Is Only One Stroke Behind Winner. :. Hampton Ties With
 Barnes

Chicago, August block Hutchinson of Glenview Club, Chicago. today won the open golf championship of the Western Golf Association at Olympia Fields Club, with a total of 2s6 strokes for the sev- erty-two holes. just one stroke under the score of Barnes of St.~Lous, who had the title for three years.
 Harry Hampton of Richmond. Va, despite an eight on the 495-yard tenth hole, and S G. w. Hackney of Atlantic City tied with Barnes for second place. Hackney had to play backwards out of a gopher hole on the eighteenth fair way in the last round, but made the 42O-yard hole in four. William Creavy a young Kansas City professional, was next in line, with 29S strokes.
 Sixth prize went to Eddie Loos of Chi cago, with 502, while George Carney of Chicago, with BOA; ]. J. O'Brien and E. Loefler of Pittsburg, with 30s each, and Larry Ayton of Chicago, with 307, com plete the ten prize winners.
 Scoring throughout the tournament was comparatively highland the play of the leaders was cratic, so that the win ner was not decided until the last con- testant had finished. Jim Barnes, who won the title twice with a record score of 2S6, took s for the first round of the longer of the two courses used. He re- deemed his chances in the afternoon play of Wednesday by setting record of s for the shorter course, four under par.
 Hutchinson had--given his competitor

He has never won title before, al- though he has made many course rec ords in competition, including T on the $. .57s-yard course bettering par by three strokes and the previous record by two strokes. He went over par on only two holes.

championship battle. Minus Kauff. it IS unlikely that the Giants would have won in 1917, because his playing that year was superb. With him, they won, and the Giants therefore drew down a huge profit for the season and garnered an other fortune through a split of the world series spells. So kauff. it can be seen was worth tha. $aO0O0
 CARL MAYS COST S4O.OOO
 Carl Mays cost the Yankees $40,0O0-and a lawsuit. He hasn't shown-yet. But Mays, as soon as his arm rounds into shape, may prove to be worth triple the original investment With Mays in shape. the Yankees stand splendid chance of annexing the. flag If Carl gets back into harness in another month or so, and pitches in old-time form, and shoots the Yankees to the front, he'll be largely responsible for their winning the flag. won't he? If they win, it means at least Sl25,000 extra revenue for the Tank
 Art Nehf is one of those costly arti- cfes which hasn't demonstrated anything yet. But ever since he joined the Giants he has been accorded miserable support by weak and wobbly team. Probably the greatest pitcher in the world couldn { win consistently with such backing as Nehf has heen given Maybe when the Giant infield is s.iffened. Nehf will de- have Ruth, Collins, Speaker, Jackson and the others.
 Of course, a magnate always takes a big chance when he pays out huge money for a single ball player. But in the ma jority of cases the venture has paid divi- dends far beyond 100 per cent And no one could ask mora than that.

 PITCH TODAY'S GAME

Joe Coffindaffer will probably pitch today's game for the Barons. Kid El- berfeld did not announce his choice of hurlers, but it is probably that he will send either Robinson or Hengeveld back against the Barons.
 Coffindaffer has not been in good form since he played in left field while Ellis was out of the game. However, it is thought that he is just about, right" to pitch winning game.
