r. Hack Wilson'S few months
ago unknown and unsung In the
annals Of baseball.
There's q moral In the story Cf
Hack" Wilson for those readers
who would seek morals. II q q
moral Of attention to business and
> constant and endless drive for
recognition. For Hack Wilson,
stock and sturdy, with the Shout
ders Of q Goliath ana the neck OF
q bull. has literally fought himself
into the glare Of baseball's lime
light.
This writer, however, q not III.
terested IN morals. He finds
greater interest I'M the fate Of
those other tW0 men sitting there
IN the shadow of the, dugout,
morOse and unhappy.
Consider the case Of Jimmy
O'Connell.
Fame was brought to him ready
made; q place In the baseball sun
was reserved for him unasked; and
opportunity called at his door with
g golden chariot.
But-hang around Jimmy
c' Councils neck was the weight OF
constant publicity. Elung across
his broad shoulders was 3 hamper.
ing cross of gold.
And Jimmy failed failed be-
cause constant advance newspaper
notice and the glamor OF those
thousands Of dollars had led tan.
dom to expect Z skill that was
superhuman.
The ball player who does passing
well where fans are expecting the
unusual, Is doomed to failure.
The unknown who contributes q
little when the fans expect nothing
IL success.
Baseball Is fun Of individuals
who have carried their crosses Of
gold to be sacrificed on the altar
Of newspaper publicity.
Lena blackburn was one the
first perhaps Of the long string
that followed. Marty O'TOOle was
another. Rube MarQunrd slumped
to the shadow 81 failure before
he finally rallied to the success
which was his due.
Paul Strand Of the Athletics was
victim. Jack Bentley Of the
Giants came near being one.
On and on, down the list you
find them youngsters, potentially
great. who fail because the advance
notices have been too enthusiastic.
EACH spring sees them come up.
and each summer sees them fade,
victims Of circumstances more than
victims OF inability.
Today Hack" Wilson Is out there
in center field, playing regularly
for the Giants; hitting with the skill
and drive Of q veteran: fielding his
position beyond the highest expec.
tation Of those men who fostered
his baseball beginning.
To him you must doff your hats
for his IL 2 story Of accomplish
ment.
But give thought, too, TO the
! Jimmy O'ConnelIs, and the Paul
Strands. and the Marty O'Tooles.
Theirs ID baseball tragedy.
For theirs was the handicap Of
crosses of gold, too heavy for
youthful shoulders. And they failed
victims Of a baseball system that
they could not overthrow.
To Hack Wilson, baseball has
given bountifully. But what, after
all. has baseball given to Jimmy

This New Treatment
Never Fails to End Piles

Many sufferers from Piles or
Hemorrhoids have become despon-
dent because they have been led to
believe that their case was hope
less and that there was nothing in
the world to help them.
TO these people we say, EGO to
your druggist and get an original
box of MOAVA S!TPPOSITOR-
IES.' One of these inserted into
the rectum according to directions
will be found to give immediate re-
lief. They reach the source of the
trouble and by their soothing,
healing, antiseptic action first al
lay the pain and soreness and then
by direct contact with the ulcers
and piles cause them to heal up and
disappear forever.
It's simply wonderful how speed
lily they act, Blessed relief often
comes in two days. Even in eases
that have steadily resisted all
known treatments, marvellous results
have been obtained.
All druggists dispense MOAVA
SUPPOSITORIES, in the original
box or can get it for you on short
notice. Loynd Drug Company will
supply you. Mail orders accepted.

Nature is undergoing growing pains

startling phenomena are reported
from the region of Cook inlet, thC
"'valley of ten thousand smokes,
Bogolov Island, and the volcanoes

Phenomena reported included:

Streams which recently flowed with
Hteaming hot water, now are icy

engaged in spectacular eruptions.
Vast plumes Of dense black smoke,
marked by tongues of flame were
emitted and certain amount of
volcanic ash and lava was. thrown
out. These eruptions ceased just
before Kilauea broke out.
Fishermen also report the changes
in the coast line near Katmai. They
say there has been an alternating
intrusion and recession of the shore
line in many points.

Intense Commercial Rivalry.
The Aunalist Business Outlook" for
August rs, 1924 views the situation in
this light: GAS European industry gets
under way the industries of the
United States are certain to meet a
steadily increasing competition not
only in the export field but in the do
nestle market"
James A. Farrell, president of the
United States Steel corporation is
also very dubious about the Dawes
prosperity when he says in the Maya
zine of Wall Street for August 80,
1924: There is no information on
which we can base an assurance that
the European market can be restored
within a reasonable time, nor that
Europes economic interests may not
eventually be in directions antagonis-
tic to ours"
Mr.. Rufus S. Tucker, acting chief fl.
nance and investment division of the
department of commerce pierces all
the Dawes prosperity bubbles when
he sums up the likely events in this
manner: American manufacturers
are going to meet with severe compe-
tition in the sale of goods of which
the value is derived mainly from la
Dor, not only in foreign markets but
even at home. In the case of goods
made of materials not found in Ger
many, competition will not be so Sc
we're, as the exchange rates will OPP
crate against Germany when import
ing the raw materials. In the case of
many agricultural and mineral pro-
ducts there will be no increased com.
petition" In short, not word about
the prosperity wave to overwhelm the
American workers.
Lower Wages Coming.
Let no one make a mistake. The
American employing classes will not
for an instance willingly pay the price
of lowered profits because of intensi.
fed German and European competi.

transfer the losses to the working

This domination Of German resour-
