Nike Gonzales Record

cinnati Ito which club he now re-
turns and was transferred to st. Louis
in 1915, where he played four wears.
"Heinie" Groh, for whose services
the above two players and much cash
were surrendered like Burns. is also a
New York State boy. Rochester was his
birthplace. and he is onl one year
younger than the Utica boy, having
been born in 1890.
Groh Started With Oshkosh
He iirst appeared professionally with
Oshkosh, Wis, in 1908, from which club
he was sold to the Giants and then sent
to Buffalo on optional agreement. This
was in 1911. The following season he
made his Polo Grounds debut with
George Burns. Early in 1913 he was
traded to The Reds along with Leon
Ames aad Josh Devore for Art Fromme
and Eddie Grant, TO whose memory q
bronze tablet now adorns the garden in
center field where Burns roamed in his
lsst days as q Giant.
In the nine years that Groh per
formed for Cincinnati he batted and
felded III fashion leading many TO an
opinion that possibly McGraw made a
mistake in disposing of the tempera-
mental infelder.
In 1911 he got in jam for jumping
mis- club and was ordered back to
Springfield Of the Eastern League by
Secretary Farrell. During the G ants
first Western trip last season deal
was practically consummated whereby
Goldie Rapp and cash were to have
been exchanged for Groh. Judge Ian
dis refused to sanction the trade, in
sisting Hainie must play out the year
with Cincinnati.
No doubt the addition OF this player
is a fine business for the worlds cham
pioHs and their 1922 pennant aspira-
tions. He is one Of the best of the
third basemen, and, despite his funny
little bat and his peculiar position at
the plate, he is an exceptionally fne
hatsman.

SUMMER HOTEL PRICES
From tho Salem News.

s.Ao AodAGni IN0WS.
 Much complaint is made by yaca- ticnists of the prices charged by summer hotels. Many of these estab- lishments ask about double the rates charged before the war Those that cater especially to ~the automobile trade often charge high figures for transient parties. People of modsr- ate means have to do considerable searching to find an Inn that is with in their means yet will give satis- factory service. Very plain little hotels that were formerly regarded as too commonplace to De attractive are gathering In groups of cultured people who cannot afford the rates cheerfuliy paid by the spenders along the bik motor routes.
 Yet as their supplies and service must cost less than Is paid in cities, the charges frequently seem unrea- sonable. lnnkeepers may find before the present summer is over that the high prices 50 easily obtained for the three seasons past do not go so well in these plainer times. Most people have to consider expense now, and considerable portion of the new rich crowd have been stranded by the ebb tide of trade. The defla- tion movement will have to hit the summer resort business as we'll as everything else. Those that delay too long in joining the downward procession will come out about like the stores that were the last to re- wise the prices of their goods to con form to the drop in the wholesale market.

A PIONEER OF THE KLONT]TFSE

From the New York Herald.
 VT was twenty-five years ago on August 17 that a rich strike in ~ the gravel of Bonansa Creek, Yukon territory, started the great stampede to the Klondike gold fields. Leaders of that first onrushing force of pioneers have been celebrating the event. The Yukon Order of Pioneers is the name under which the survivors of those stirring days of quarter Of a century ago have organised. Sour dovxhs," though. Is what they call themselves for short. At Dawson City they had . parade and banquet and 1t is quite safe to say that there was rapid fire interchange of yarn swapping. Moreover, 1t is safe bet that the yarns were interesting.
 The news despatches do not say whether or not Mrs. J. T. Wills was present. If she is alive and able, she surely ought to have been one of the guests. She was a pioneer of the pioneers. She had pioneered in New Mexico and in Colorado, and when the Klondike rush began, she was pioneering in Washington. She was among the very first who headed for the new El Dorado. She was the only woman in a party of 140 miners who made the trying two months journey through about as savage country as man ever trod-the country which separates the Pacific shore from
 Dawson.
 Arrived at the gold fields she was
 up with the first of the men in stalk
 iag out claim. More than that,
 after she had her claim she held on to it., which in those claim grabbing. clam jumping days demanded a
 grown persons alert1sss. and unwav- ering nerve. Meantime She set up a bakery. Her oven would bake only two loaves of bread at a time. but
 she got $1 a loaf. She was her own labor union, she could work fourteen
 hours at stretch if she wanted TO- and she generally wanted to msNe the most of her chance.
 But her activities did not stop there. She ran a laundry as well as a bakery, and e an incident thereof did plain. sewing for the minerA It Mrs. ]. T. Wills belongs the honor able distinction of having introduseu the first hard boiled shirt ever worn 1 in IDa wson City.

That claim turned ] out 10 be worth ;:5o.ooo in the end.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Money in Rabbits


 Yes, I am very much interested in raising rabbits" James R. Grove said yesterday. My stock at present Is worth between s75 and sloo, and get lot of fun watching them STOW, as well as splendid meat for my table
 T am always amused at the old idea rabbits are not good to eat in the summer time. This is due to the fact that field or wild rabbits should not be eaten in hot weather. There is just as much difference in taste between wild and domestic rab- bits as there is between either one and chicken. The meat of domestic rabbits is white and tender, and all that is needed to convince a person that they are good to eat in the sum mer time is to let him try one.
 "Pedigreed rabbits are worth any where from }1o to $50 each, and there is some very fine stock owned by breeders in Birmingham. At present there is not a great deal of money in raising rabbits for meat purposes. but a number of people here are making money out of selling pure bred stock

Report of New Haven Employees Tu-
 berculosis Relief Association.
 TIT was in November, a year and a II half ago. The brilliantly lighted hall was filled with perhaps a hundred of the most eminent physi- clans of this part of the world It was the meeting of the Medical So- ciety of New Haven county. The audi ence' had just listened with great in- terest to the reading of paper 6n sis. One of the points emphasized in the paper was that the skin of the patients who were being benefited by the treatment took on beautiful brown or bronze color. To illustrate this point, five of the tuberculosis children from the Meriden State Tu- berculosis sana torium, who were re- ceiving sunlight treatment were brotrNht into the hall and passed around, stripped, for examination by the assembled doctors. The novelty of the procedure and the smiling hap piness of the little group of tuber- culosis brownies caused something of sensation. and stirred the emotions of every man and woman present. The child that attracted most att tention was a little 5-year- old girl, who, because of the terrible destruc- ton the consumption germs wrought in her spinal vertebrae, was unable to sit or stand without excruciatinS pain and who, therefore, passed her days and nights strapped to frame of wood and iron in such way as to keep the weight of the upper half of her body off the painful crumb- ling area in her spine. Immovable but smiling, she was handed from doctor to doctor, but in spite of the brown of her skin. it was apparent that even the youngest medico pres ent paid less attention to the skin than to the contrast between her>rigid helplessness and the heavenly laugh ter of childhood with which which she greeted him.

Wise Man Will Not
 Hearken to Prophets

~ OUTHERN cotton producers are 0 encouraged by the general tendency of the market to advance. There are reasons for the advance. There is the small crop of this year and some. revival in the spinning industry at home, while German mills are taking more of the staple. Supplies of manufactured goods are at low ebb.
 On the other hand, it must be borne in mind that economy and close trading are still the law of business and that no commercial and manufacturing interests can be easily alarmed as to the supply of raw material and urged into q scramble to provide for their wants. Commerce is sarler than in many years.
 Each mans marketing of his products is his own business and each must exercise his judgment, but it is folly to ignore the les sons that have been taught by past experience. One of the saddest of these stories is that of last autumn, when cotton was held for higher prices during a marketing season when the trend was in the other di- rection.
 As a rule the business man who gets out his stuff and sells it in the marketing season will realize more through the years than he who allows himself to be influenced by brilliant forecasts.

F F Efficiency New Law in Large Industries

1T TOW great industrial concerns E u have increased productio while laying off men is not altogether good reading, because it discloses the tendency of men to accept the money of others without giving value received.
 A news item from Akron, O., says
 The Goodyear Tire and Rubber
 company has laid off nine hun
 dred men without decreasing
 production and 1t is planned to
 continue the manufacture of
 about the same number of tires
 that has been turned out. but to
 do this with the decreased num-
 Der of men.
 One of the saddest phases of the World war was the growing ineffi- ciency of men as their wages in creased. It was as though the em- ployed sought to cruelty the men who enabled them to live. The low est state of efficiency existed at government works.
 The country marvels at the accom- plishments of Henry Ford. TKere is only one item in his chain of en- terprises which is outstanding. That is his unalterable and unflinching policy of efficiency. No man in his employ loafs; none escapes work. Yet men like to work for him. That is because a man down in his heart of hearts prefers being decent to being a pretender.
 The work camouflagist is out of date and with his passing, industry is getting on its feet.

VOTES THAT COUNT

Henry Morgenthau quotes Carl SchurE in the Worlds Work, he says
 recalled with faith the words oe that valiant rsformer. Carl Schurs. who years before har said:
 Between them (the old political parties> stands an element which is not controlled by the discipline of the party organization, but acts upon it's own judgment for the public in- terest. It is the independent ele- ments which,. in it's best sense and shape, may be defined as consisting of men who consider it more impor- tant thatithe government be well ad- ministered than that this or that act of men administer it. This indtpen- dent clement is not very popular with party politicians in ordinary times, but it is very much m reouisit,on when ths day of voting comes, IL can render insstimable service to the cause of good government by wield- ing the balance of power 1t holds with justice and wisdom"

| < & Lenine Forced to Abandon His Policy

n FINDER the title of "The Organ NJ ization of Industry" Nicclai Lenine admits the downfall of so- vietism for the present and the ne- cessity of submitting to capitalism.
 However, to cover his part in the misrule of Russia, Lenine adheres to his belief in the principle of sovietism and predicts it's eventual victory over private initiative. Capitalism must be restored by giving concessions and allowing old industrial chiefs to resume work. This new private capital ism will graaually be converted into state capitalism in ten to twenty years. It is just as easy for Lenine to predict now as it was to prophecy four years ago, when unhappy Rus sia heard and needed him, but ears are not attuned to his vagaries as they were before what he preached was put into practice. Leveling
 the human race to common stat ure of wants, desires, work and <.
 captivity is, just about as possible as the building of the tower ol Babel.
 Man progresses by trying to rise above his environment. Deprived
 of this initiative he has lost the nainspring of life. He cannot pre-
