AN UNUSUAL ADVERTISEMENT

Speaking Of Matty. one of the great
New York City stores last week pub
lished, an unusual advertisement in
the daily papers. 1t did not herald
the mems wearing apparel which the
shop handles, but was devoted to
praising the old King OF the Diamond.
This advertisement was so unique
that we are going to reprint il here

tain stores are not as commercial in

have them believe. Here it is:
There is a great pageant at
the Polo Grounds today. And de-
spite the names OF presence of
the old-time Giants. it is not
pageant of baseball alone. For in

that field.
Frank Merriwel and Ivanhoe
are there-Leonidas. Hector and
Hercules. King Arthur and his
knights march proudly on and
with them Roosevelt and Anthony

''The list is long. Sportsmen all

day invisible across that field to

PosTPoNING TARIFF.REvIsIoy.

The agricultural bloc I'm Congress
is not greatly concerned over the
report that there will be no per-
mansnt tariff revision until next year.
The Senate branch OF the bloc has
already determined TO demand the
passage OF a resolution extending the
life of the emergency tariff law en-
acted last spring. that done. the bloc
will be satisfied

until the regular session beginning in
the winter. II may not be passed at all

1922. Political experience. dating from
the disaster 20 the Republican party
In 1890 Immediately after the enact
ment Of the Mckinley tariff, Is against
general tariff revision a short time
before a new Congress Is chosen by
the people. A new tariff inevitably
causes some business disturbance and
no party going TO the polls likes to be
charged with responsibility for IL.
! The temptation for the Republican
leaders to wait until after the No
vember elections of 1922 will become
stronger the longer they countenance
delay.
While there are interests that still
demand general revision at the
earliest possible moment. their in
fiuence in the party is relatively less
powerful than in former Republican
administrations. They are opposed by
banking and commercial interests tha;
now have big stake in foreign trade

PROHIBITION In CALIFORNIA.

No experienced person viii attempt

ing example. Wine grapes which be-

Mt three times those prices and more.
Whereas In the year In which amend

vines. they are now feverishly strug-
Cling 20 get the largest possible new

any winemaker would pay for the
same grapes for commercial pressing.
Even with transportation added IL Is
doubtful whether wine In the family
costs moro than its cost before pro-
hibition. When casks and bottles
have once been accumulated the ulti-
mate consumer absorbs all profits ex-
cept those OF the grower. The rail-
road rates on the complete grape
must yield more revenue than the
much smaller tonnage OF the wine

The making OF really good wine is
an art which must be learned by ex-

equipment. But there is no trouble
about getting the kick and the taste
adapts itself TO whatever Il regularly
meets. II is said that wine Is now

he former .pirlt or loyalty and devo-

the former spirit OF loyalty and devo-
ton to the home team and the home
patrons that in the old days devel-
oped such fervor among local follow
ers. and such lavish adulation OF those
who responded to splendid home SEN
timent with their best endeavors, at
all times and undcr all conditions.
Probably cemmercialism has made
difference. The game liz hugely
profitable. as business investment
to the club owners and as an avenue
to high remuneration for the players.
The effect OF this spirit of gain is
manifest. Frequently Is noted the de-
liberate refusal OF a good player on
second division team TO put forth
his best efforts for the benefit OF his
club. and his insistence upon doing
all he can to compel his club owners
to sell his services. effective and valu-
able only when he sees fit to make
them so, to another club, in order
that he may profit financially. How
this spirit of commercialism among
players enabled venal gamblers to
tempt some of them to the deliberate
throwing away OF worlds champion
ship games, two years ago. is an in
cident still painfully in public recol-
lection.
However. baseball is a standard in
stitution Of our great national sport
ing field, and will continue so. II
does seem, however. that something
should be done TO suppress the spirit
of commercialism among players.
which so frequently leads TO results
disappointing and disgusting to loyal
patrons OF the game. The player sees
his chance to better his financial for
tune. and even vitiates his contract
at time to secure his ends. Certainly
all such instances should invoke an
exercise of the stern measures OF dis
| Cipline which club owners have at
their command. but which they SO
generally ignore. The example Of the
New York National League Club own
ers, years ago, in eliminating "the
great Rusie" from the game instead
of allowing him to hold them up for
high price. is too seldom observed
Probably more discipline OF this ef-
fective and summary character would
be good thing for many otherwise
fine players whose chief object seems
to be to get all the money they can
There is no doubt It would be a good
thing for the general interests Of the
game.

WAR NO SOLUTION.

The strongest argument against the
continuance Of the war is that nobody
has yet attempted to show how such
course would contribute to the
elimination o. the Ulster difficulty. II
is much more probable that the he
ginning Of hostilities in the south
would be signal for a wholes. le
clearance of Catholics and National
lists from the six Counties on a scale
that would rival the worst atrocities
of Stuart and Tudor times. Plans for
gigantic razzia OF this kind no
toriously exist, and /the temper of
Orange Ulster leaves little doubt that
in certain circumstances a desperate
effort would be made 10 carry then,

RECOGNIZING PROSPERITY.

w. ]. Moore. President of the
American Bond and Mortgage Com
pany. OF Chicago and New York City,
says that the prospects are justifying
those who believe that this fall will
show a decidedly evident trend to-
ward normal conditions. He speaks
OF many indications OF this.
"The farmer will again be In the
market as constant buying factor,
although he will buy much more
judiciously than he did when his
products were selling at fancy prices"
Mr.. Moore declares. But the poor
farmer need no longer be an object
OF commiseration. He has liquidated
He has struck rock bottom and
henceforth he will be found on the
upgrade. He has taken his losses,
and the money he IL getting now and
will get for his crops is new money
that il. money over and above his
obligations. He is, I'm the aggregate.
the biggest buying factor i'm the
country and he is coming into the
market again for his necessities. for
he again has some money. and must
satisfy his needs, which for a year at
least he has been unable 10 do"
Mr.. Moore's reputation in the past
bears out our assertion that ne in a
reliable financier who weighs his
words carefully. and never plays the
role OF the optimist unless conditions
overwhelmingly justify it. But II is
significant that his views coincide with
the opinions OF many other men who
have made a special study OF our
present financial condition. There is
one thing which all OF us must avoid.
and that is the mistake OF not recog-
nizing prosperity when it comes. So
many firms and individuals enjoyed
huge prof1ts during the war times
that they may not appreciate the real
normality which is coming our way.
The old saying stiu holds good-better
a half loaf than no bread.

JUST FOLKS
TWO CLERKS.
By Edgar A. Guest.

1hO tIthhS.
Two there We're in the self-same store
Side by side on the busy floor,
Each with ribbons and silks to sell,
But one Of them rose while the other
fell:
One moved up while all year long
The other was merely a part of the
throng.
Here's the story, so oft retold
In the busy shops where life's wares
are sold
One sold silk from a crowded shelf.
And quite forgot he must sell himself.
One was cheerful and liked his work.
The other gloomy and just a clerk.
The cheerful one with his ready smile
Had people flock to his crowded aisle;
They'd ask for him. and thus advertise
That he was patient and also wise;
For this was his plan, to the long
days end.
To make sale and TO make a friend.
IL wasn't long ere the chief found out
He had = clerk talked about;
He heard it from women but poorly
dressed,
He heard il, too. from the city's best;
And he learned it from something
which never fails
The growing sum of the young mans
sales.
Oh. boy. whatever your job may be
Go to it brayely and cheerfully;
over the counter and from the shelf
Remember always 10 sell yourself;
Be at your best till the long day ends
For that is the secret of making
friends.
