CUBS TO GET BELL
IN TRADE IS RUMOR
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 3l.-The New
York World says today that Lester Bell,
third baseman of the Boston Braves,
will be traded to the Chicago Cubs at
the annual schedule meeting of the Ma
tional League here Tuesday. The
Braves will receive cash and probably
q player or two.
.Since the Braves claimed Joe Dugan
from the Yankees by the waiver route
some sort of deal for Bell has been
expected. With his former teammate
Rogers Hornsby, Bell is counted on to
give the Cubs one of the strongest in
fields in the circuit. Third base was
one OF the weak spots in the Chicago
machine last year, with Clyde Beck,
who occupied the position most of the
time hitting only .257.
Bell did not do much better, making
only a PIT average, but in 1926 his
mark was 1926 with the Cardinals, and
he was second only to Hornsby in driv-
ing in runs for the world champions.
Last season he never hit his real stride,
falling OF in his fielding as we'll as his
batting. With the prospect of a cut
IN the world series money and with the
encouragement Hornsby always has pro-
vided for him, Bell is expected to make
a much better showing with the Cubs
II the deal goes through as expected.

 The Post office Department de- sires to inaugurate such a serv- ice between Juneau and the south and in the event that the plans are carried out they will use the hydroplane type of air plane.
 The conference was l. q to de- termine such things ss the amount of fog. and the amount of rough weather that hydro planes would encounter between Juneau and Seattle; where the water would be too rough for the hydroplanes to taxi, how high the fog extends, and the best places for landing and mooring of the hydroplanes.

The TOWN DOCTOR
IDEAS WILL NOT STAND THE CAFE
 OF MODERN BUSINESS

If you are going. to grow and do- business with modern people you have to be modern, for new-fash- toned buyers avoid old-fashioned sellers. The old-fashioned peo- pie and old-fashioned business will soon be gone and then What is, will cease to be-" for the town that has not kept up and ahead of date.
 Old-fashioned does not neces- sarily mean older people. It does mean those people who, because their grandfather before them did certain thing in a certain way, think that that is the only way it can be done: the fellow who says his way and his idea is always right and the other fellow wrong; the fellow that, because he cannot do it or see how it is done, says it can't be done. In other words, it means the fellow who condemns everything which is beyond his range.
 The only old-fashioned people, who can be considered assets in the world of today are those that retain the boy mind; that is, those that are still capable of wonder. enthusiasm and experiment. When these three elements fail, the man who is out of his grave is out of place as far as progress is con cerned, for a man can appreciate only that which he knows.
 Things are changing these days, and changing fast Good roads, au- tcmobiles, trucks, busse5 and aero planes are responsible for much

SAYS

Before he could dream of dis covery Columbus had to cleanse his mind of approximation or preju- dice. Only the man willing to free himself from the shackles of what used to be" is ready to en- certain the new ideas which lead to progress.
 In every branch of science, of business, or art, and even of sport, this is true.
 Community progress is not less in the hands of the discoverers. The great advances have been made by men who explore new fields, unfettered by prejudice or tradition, for a prejudice blinds a man to the truth and, too, to a prejudiced man no argument ap- pears reasonable.
 The advice of scientific business is to investigate yourself, your business and your town.
 New business, new towns, are fortunate in not being fettered with old traditions and ideas, fortunate that they have no barnacles on their ships; but many towns date back long way and too often re- fuse to accept new ideas and new ways of doing things. For that reason they fail to grow, fail to advance and keep apace with the modern times. Existing in a modern day with thoughts, ideas and ways of doing things of the past, modern opportunities are not recognized.
 Old fashioned ideas will not stand the gaff of modern business.

of it. Radio and telephone are rushing us along to a new day, and the town that doesn't start DOING, will some day be a village of the past.
 Thinking people recognize that there is new order of things, but the recognition is more evil dent in business than in the de- yelopment and conduct of civic affairs Business science has changed man from fighting, hunting, furtive biped, traveling on foot or padding a canoe along winding rivers, painfully and slow ly through the solitude of the great spaces, to a ruler of the earth, flying through the air, sail ing under the sea, sending mes sages around the world without messengers or wires. You KNOW this because you have seen it.
 This same science will bring forth even greater strides of de- yelopment and change in the ways of doing things when applied to cities. towns and communities. It WILL be applied-IS BEING ap- piled. Because you have not SEEN it you may not KNOW IT, and not knowing it, fail to appreciate it.
 Every town shoa.l recognize the advantages of this new order of things and start NOW to DO that which is necessary to capitalize on the opportunity; but to do it, old superstitions and prejudices, if you have any, must be wiped out and realization of the new order of things kept uppermost in your mind.
