HAITI LATEST ID
 TAKE UP BASER.'LL
Interest in Sports Stimulated by
 Showing in Olympic Games

Washington. Oct 10.--Haiti's cap ture of second place in the rife matches at the Olympic games has stimulated interest in sport there and turned the eyes of the islanders toward baseball.
 National headquarters of the American Red Cross here Is in re- ceipt of letter from its Port au Prince chapter requesting the par ent body to locate some surplus baseball outfits so that Haiti may make use of them. The president Of Haiti, evincing a keen interest in baseball has appointed Captain Bertol of the Gcndarmerie d' Haiti to take up the matter of introduc- ing baseball in the island, the com munication says.
 The Red Cross appealed to Clark Griffith. president of the Washing ton American league club but he re- piled the surplus baseball parapher- nalia of the Senators is turned over to the Walter Reed and other hos pitals here for use of former serv- ice men.
 Red Cross officials are communi- eating with major league teams in an effort to learn what can be done to aid in establishing the game in Haiti. It is estimated that s400 would be required to start the game on the island.

Build Palaces Free
 From Whims of Kaiser

Berlin, Oct. 10.--There has been reaction in Berlin against the style of city architecture which was popu- lar in the old days with William Hohenzollern, and which he was not slow to enforce. The taste of the former ruler Is declared today to have been distinctly bad, and now the municipality will have no more of it. 54
 In Potsdam the reaction shows particularly. Here are the palaces Of the former royal family. and many of them, are being restored to the condition they were in prior to the ascent to the throne of William II. The same policy is 10 be fol lowed out in Berlin, with its many castles and palaces.

Mir. Eppich recently sent a ques- tionnaire, 'Busses or Cars" to real-> tors in many cities and all except one answered "Cars." "Busses may be easily diverted or abandoned, and the value of property substan- italy reduced" he explained today.
 There is d decided place for the bus in local transportation, the speaker continued. He and other realtors would like to see street car companies run busses in new ter ritories until traffic warrants laying an electric line. Property owners benefitting by new transportation lines should help pay the cost of their installation, he said, and pointed out that recently Detroit voters assessed 51 per cent of the cost of new transit lines against the

The foundation Of five years Of

c. W. Barron, the Wall Street fl
nancial expert.
He gives several reasons, but
overlooks the most important one;
A nation is like an individual. Dur
ing the war we exerted ourselves
tremendously. Then, tired out, we
loafed until VIC reeuperated. That
period of rest was what we called
business depression. Now we're
gradually getting back to top-speed
work. Hard times are simply
periods of national resting and re-
cuperation.

BUILDERS AND KNOCKERS

- - A%-'-~ A~ANO SA4ND AALNGG II Nd
We love to see a builder; one
who has a vision of how things
should be and goes out to build.
There is a fascination in seeing
things grow around you. The
farmer walks out in his field on
nice spring day and is gratifiad
beyond measure that nature is
doing so much for him in swine
and sheep and the glossy coat Of
his favorite steed.
Yes, it is great to be a builder
The builder delights in his work,
and it contributes to his health
and happiness.
But how about the obstructiop-
list, the knocker, the man who
tears down?
What about the fellow who
delights in destroying, in putting
his neighbor out of business?
What about the man who dis
rupts the even tenor Of things
that make for our veal and in
his boasting way points with
pride to the destruction he has
committed? Do we find such in
society? We do. Their minds
and souls become warped and
whatever good there may be IL
their makeup is crowded out,
like the tares and thistles crowd
out and destroy the life-giving
grain. Their minds grope about
in the darkness, totally incapaci-
tating them for the accomplish
ment of any good. God made
man in his image that he might
cultivate all that was beautiful
and holy, and that every good
and perfect thing about him
might be helpful to those about
him. Good can only come to
the man who wishes those about
him to grow and prosper.-Cor
nelia Enterprise.

The Banker Knows

An Americas merchant said
to us not so long ago that the
mail order houses and the stores
in the big cities were putting the
small town merchants out of
business. This very day have
answered letters, asking about
the credit Of some of our peo-
ple,," he said.
A few minutes before this
merchant had declined to adver-
tise because the people have
no money or credit" he said.
These two opinions won't
square" The mail order
house demands cash. The
stores in the large cities refuse
longer credits than 80 days.
The mail order houses go on
because the mail order houses
never suspend advertising -
they never sleep - day and
night they are offering social
ed bargains.
More local business goes to
the cities because more and
more the big city papers are
read in the smaller towns. In
them, the purchaser reads the
ads. the ad creates a desire and
a sale is made.
IF our merchants who COM
plain that there is not any mon
ey in cambridge will take into
consideration that in the past IL
months 5000 money orders
have been sent out Of town for
merchandise alone they will
shut up that talk. and get some
goods and advertise that they
have them, says the cambridge
Post.
The day is past when the mer-
chant can sit down, expect folks
to "tote it to them" and not
make any effort to meet the 'to-
ter" more than half way. If
there is any man in business who
doesn't think that the folks read
the home paper. we dare them to
allow us to make reflection on
them in just one issue; they will
find out that the entire world
reads it almost.
The man who sits down on a
stock of goods expecting the pub
lie to hunt it up and ask for it
has a nap to get over. If you
have not the spirit to get up
and advertise what you have,
then the man who does, the
man who heads the mail order
houses, viii go after it and get
it.
The Big city stores and the
mail order houses can be whip
ped to a FRAGILE, says the Jack
son Progress in this comment:
We have said it before and
we repeat it now, that the mer-
chant can use the home town pa
per and by systematic, judicious,
constant advertising whip the
nail order houses to a FRAGILE.
Judging by the steady stream of
cash that is going off to mail
order houses the business men
would be justified in materially
increasing their advertising APP
preparations.
When business is dull, the
big city merchants go after
business stronger than at other
times; larger advertising appro-
priations are made and sales are
stimulated. The net profit may
not be so large, but some profit
is better than none.
An Americus banker said to
US recently: "A certain fellow
was in here today, desiring to
borrow some money. He said
he could pay it back by cut
ting off his advertising, saving
that much" The man DID
NOT get the money.
The banker Immediately saw
that decreased advertising
meant decreased sales, and
notes can't be paid when sales
are on the skids.
