Illinois Giants Here Tomorrow

Another aggregation of colored
ball players, the Illinois Giants of
Chicago, will lock horns with Hurley
tomorrow The game is called for
3 o'clock at the local park.
The Illinois Giants are on a tour of
the country and are meeting all
corners. They are said to be an
outfit of no mean caliber as ball
players, the lineup including some of
the best eolored baseball talent in
Chicago.
The Union Giants, also colored,
played here a few weeks ago and
We're defeated. The Illinois Giants
are said IL be an even stronger ag-
gregation, SO if Hurley expects to
make them trail in the dust the boys
viii probably have to extend them
selves.
Strongarm Drawer. the home
pitcher, win probably be selected to
work against the colored gents to-
morrow. Drawer brought home the
bacon against the first colored nine,
pitching a game that won for him
many admirers.
The local management looks for a
large crowd, rs it is believed that
fans from all along the range will
want - see the Giants in action.

AUTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

1t was Burke who gave expression
to the solid doctrine that education
is the chief defense of nations"
Nothing can be added to make more
clear or more emphatic the pro-
found truth expressed in these
seven words.
But education, like all things else
that are good, is passing through a
constant process of improvement
and it is noted with interest that
practical plans have recently been
worked out for teaching thrift in
the schools.
The Committee on Thrift Educa-
ton of the National Education AS
ISOLATION has just issued a small
leaflet outlining preliminary
course of thrift study that should be
in the hands of every educator
throughout the length and breadth
of our country. 1t is not possible,
in the scope of this article, to give
an adequate outline of the educa-
tional methods and detectives which
the committee and associate
educators have worked out for the
benefit of the school children of to-
day and the future, but the fol-
lowing is an epitome of the aims
sought for;
Ito give the child an apprecia-
ton of the principles of under
lying thrift.
2-To make him familiar with the
specific facts relative to thrift.
3-To develop habits of con-
servation and intelligent use of all
his resources.
Ito create through the schools
public sentiment in favor of thrift
and economy.
If the educational foundation of
the boys and girls Of this country
can be successfully shaped along
these lines as the result of the thrift
committees efforts, it is not going
too far to say that new epoch in
education has been entered.
With thrift in the public schools
of our nation the seven forceful
words of Burke take on added
significance.

Soda Fountains Open To Search

Manufacturers of near
beer, who have won a legislative
victory in that sellers of soda water
are required to be licensed as well as
dealers in near-bees. have simplified
the work of the prohibition depart
ment with the result that better en-
foreement of the liquor laws are ex-
pected.
Prohibition officers can enter and
search any establishment licesed to
sell notwithstanding liquor without a
search warrant Previously only the
dealers in near-beer have been forced
to obtain licenses and those restrict
ing their trade to soda water went
unlicensed TO search an unlicensed
place it was necessary to have a
search warrant
According to Prohibition Commits
sioner Herman Sachtjen, the new
ruling is arousing considerable in
terest throughout the state
The new ruling is considered a dual
wet and dry victory; wet in pleasing
the near-heer manufacturers; dry,
because it is believed TO bring about
greater ease in preventing the sale
of intoxicants in all refreshmitnt
parlors.

CAREFUL IN LITTLE THINGS

The extraordinary success Of the
late +. II. Hartman In converting the
Union Pacific Railway from run
down and almost bankrupt concern
into one OF the most prosperous roads
in the country was owing both to his
broad vision in large matters and to
his painstaking thoroughness In small
ones. In George Remnants bio
grsphy of Mr.. Hartman there Is an
interesting story that illustrates per-
feetly the latter quality. IL is told
on the authority Of Julius Krutt-
schnitt, who accompanied Mr. Harri-
man on an inspection tour Of the
Southern Pacific road after he had
bcegh; the property.
One day. said Mr. Kruttschnitt, I
was walking with Mr.. Hartman on
the road. He noticed a track bolt ard
asked me why so much OF the bolt
should protrude beyond the nut. /
replied, at is the size that is generally
used. -
He said, why should we use a bolt
Of such a length that a part Of IL Is
useless7"
replied, We'll, when you come
right down 70 It there is no reason"
We walked along, and he asked me
how many track bolts there were 70
mile Of track, and told him. There
upon he remarked, Well. in the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific we
have about eighteen thousand miles u
track. and there must be some fifty
million track bolts in our system. II

you will save fifty million ounces Of
