that as the rule operates now
an institution is not inclined to

There will be a great deal of base
ball played here this spring and
summer, a great deal more than was
recorded last year in what is be.
lieved to be the banner season for
the nations capital.
One. and the chief reason for a
revived interest this spring, is the
fact that Uncle Sam has taken off
the 10 per cent war tax and that
there has been a universal drop in
prices OF athletic goods.
Dealers says that from 25 to 40
per cent and more has been dropped
in the price Of baseball material
For the youngsters bats can be pur.
chased for from two bits up while
baseballs can be purchased from az
low as 10 cents up. Gloves and r'its
range in price from rs cents on Up.
In other words the price OF base.
ball material Is within the reach Of
the small boy as well as the larger
boy and, II the tools for playing
baseball are furnished at reason.

one of the few states of the union
where county Shcritls are cN-officio

ing the chief peace officer of the
county, and this situation at time
piles overwhelming duties on their
shoulders. 1t is for the purpose of
asking some relief from this situa-

point more deputies when needed,
that the West Virginia Sheriffs' AS

was organized last year and has
been INSTRUMENTAL in promoting
teamwork among the county sheriff

officers has meant less crime and
fewer criminals and meanwhile the
enforcement Of the criminal laws
has reached Il high plane of eff
