Manager Dunn's heavy smuggling
Cubs celebrated Labor day and sun
day In a most fitting manner, when
they hung up a pair OF victories, one
over the Princeton team on Sunday
afternoon at the North Side lot and
the other over the Streator Reds yes
terday at the Streator fair grounds.
Princeton was oyerwhc lminely de-
feated, 10 to 3, and the much touted
Hespin was sent ~ the showers be-
fore he had time to finish the first
inning.
Yesterdays game against the Hard
scrabble aggregation was also an cas- :
victory for the fast local nine
Throughout the contest they proved
the superior aggregation and at no
time we're they threatened with de-
feat. The game ended with a nice,
neat score, 5 to /, and at no time was
a smuggling match. Streator is alleg-
ed to have consisted of all home talent
players except the pitcher, whose
monicker was Cadncr and whose
home is in Peoria. Probably 500 OF.
tawans were at the Streator fair
grounds to witness the battle and to
watch Pitcher Jimmy Lynch perform
In a most entertaining manner.
Sundays battle with the Princeton
team attracted one of the smallest
crowds this season. After Hespin
had been relieved of his post on the
mound and Pitcher Sandy Smith OF
Henry sent in the game was turned
into fairly good contest. AS usual,
the enemy pitchers were victims OF
some heavy hitting conducted by
Dunn's charges. Nevertheless, Smith
had splitter that the locals were bit
ing at considerable, and not until the
latter part of the game did they get
next to themselves and lay off of it.
Following is brief summary of the
two games.

No one is more generally and heartily despised than

anyone possessed with it. Wisdom fills man with
wholesome sef-confdence; but wise man was eVe' a
conceited man. Concet is evidence of gross ignorance.

shake off the feeling that the government is something

We show this by ever referring to the government as

/ sought detal1S. II more than w
per cent Of the entire disbursements
of 1920 went for past and prospective
wars, how much had we been spend
ing to keep the world safe for democ-
racy? We are all familiar with the
argument that the best way to prevent
war is to be prepared for war. I
thought l might find out whether that
was true. l went back into the rec
ords and found that year by year,
from 1884 to 1919 inclusive, the treas
ury department had kept an account
of the actual disbursements-not ap-
preparations, mind you, but actual
ment, the Navy department and for
pensions. When l got all the figures
before me l couldn't add them up.
In the bureau Of internal revenue
they loaned Inc machine and an
operator, and SO l know and can tell
you that from 1884 to and through
1919 the War Department actually dis,
bursed $23,OO2, 800, OOS65. In the same
period the Navy Department spent
$500, 1863, 032.S4; and pensioners Of
past wars got $5,634, O79, 694.23.
That is laundering total Of 800
900, 759, 041 40 for the army and navy
alone, leaving out of account the
$5,634, O79,694 for pensions.
l will let you decide whether any
part Of the Twenty-Five billion dollars
spent for preparedness and for war
prevented our going to war or found
us prepared when we went to war
The three items l have enumerated
are only ribs Of the skeleton of the
cost of war preparation and activity.
l have not been able to excavate any
other detail figures. But it is known
that the war Of 1912 cost about $780,
.7O3, $50.
The cost Of the Mexican war is esti-
mated to have been $63, 605, 621.
The total cost of the Civil war. tax
ing the period from June 80, 1851, to
June 80, 1885, may be figured closely
at S35OO,O 100000.

UNSECTARIAN AID NOTES.

Unless the men Of New Iberia get
busy with their contributions, the
Ladies will certainly show them up,
according to the latest report of the
Unsectarian Aid Society's Christmas
Fund for the providing of Christmas
cheer for the unfortunates Of our
city
The donations as a whole are not
so large as they were at this date
last year, but the good ladies who
are managing this work of love feel
quite certain that before the last
hour the amount will be large enough
to carry out their plans for sending
dinners, toys and clothing to the
needy ones of New IBERIA.
They are going right ahead with
their arrangements in spite of the
fact that the money is not coming IN
as fast as it should. They say that
they have every confidence IN the
generous hearts of the town, the pub
lie has never failed this worthy
cause, and the Society refuses to be-
lieve that the fund will be short on
the final day.
The total subscriptions up till
Thursday evening amounts to one
hundred and thirty eight dollars and
twenty five cents, which leaves two
or three hundred dollars yet to be
provided if the full program of the
ladies is to be carried out this Christ
mas season. And carried out in full
it must be! New Iberia has this duty
of love and charity to perform, and
New Iberia never shirks duty.
The amount given below will be
considerably increased when the va
rious lodges and fraternal societies
send their usual checks IN, as all OF
the organizations of the city always
respond to this call in a very gen
crOuS manner.
The list to date stands as follows:
