| T —— cmpn e o s (By Hal Sheridan) Already the worm is beginning to turn. The halycon days when a ball player bought two or three automo- biles, put on parties for that one in the third row back and showed up| at the park the next day ready to fight his. grandmother are just about gone. To the tune of Jim Gilmore’s funeral dirge they will be borne out by saddened ball players. They were dying in the big league Then came the Feds and with the siren clink of many dol- two years ago. lars lured the slaving toilers from their first love, promising much gold. The players got the gold and the headaches. But, as hereinbefore chronicled, the ancient worms have done the Vernon Castle. The announcement isn’t calling Ban Johnson names, presidents the Federal leagie. List to Jeems: “‘On account of the many other things that had to be attended to last season we had little time to look after (Kansas City and St. Louis players please copy) of the But we the playing end game and enforce discipline. know some of our ball players failed to display the same activities they did while members of organized base- ball and also do we know that some of them didn’t keep in such condition as to give their best services to the club. “The Federal league has been a great benefit to the ball players, and I hope they will realize it. We have given them a chance to draw bigger salaries than ever before. And, be- sides, we have been the cause of their getting better treatment from organ- ized ball. “I don't say that any of our players “laid down’ in their playing, but they lacked the aggressiveness they show- ed with organized ball and we hope to remedy this next season. “‘We are going:-to have discipline |” And this from a man who but a few months ago proclaimed to the wide, wide world that a ball player was a slave and subjected to unjust persecutions on the part of his em- ployers and that in the Federal league the poor ball player would find a ha- ven of rest and free content!

Upon his arrival in Bemidji last evening the governor was escorted to the Markham hotel where he was the guest of honor at a banquet at- tended by a large number of delegates to the teachers’ convention and busi- ness men.

He left at noon for Cloquet where he will be the guest of C. I. McNair for several days, the time to be spent in the woods, an experience entirely new to the governor.

The ‘“mu- nicipal department store” is con- ducted by the city’s “bundle day” committee. Worn clothing is gath- ered from the residence districts. It is then taken to “municipal work- shops” where ‘“unemployed” men and women are paid a decent wage to mend and put it in presentable con- dition. The next step in the “de- fartment store.” Garments are sold 2t minimum prices to the needy. But none hut the needy need apply for “permits to buy” are issued after due investigation of each applicant. The municipal ‘“department store” profi- ted $1,817.67, or an average of four- teen cents on each garment in three days. This money was used to pay $1,472.18 to “unemployed menders” in the “municipal workshop.” The balance represented “cash on hand” for future operation. 3IX CONVENTIONS A DAY DURING SAN FRANCISCO FAIR San Francisco, Feb. 13.—An aver- age of six big conventions daily will be held in San Francisco during the life of the Panama-Pacific Interna- tional exposition which will open here February 20 and until December 4. James A. Barr, director of con- gresses of the exposition, makes this astimate on the basis of advices re- ceived by him and he gives assur- ance that 500 conventions will hold their sessions here. He estimates that these gatherings will bring to the city and the fair between 800,- 000 and 1,000,000 persons. Delegates will represent mnearly every quarter of the globe and practically every field of human endeavor will be cov- ered. Barr classifies the, conventions as follows: Women’s congresses, 44; agricultural, 34; business 47; educational, 38; fraternal, 60; col- lege fraternities, 44; governmental and civie, 24; labor and industrial, 30; professional, 28; religious, 29; scientific, 26; social and . charitable, 20; geological, 15; historical and lit- erary, 5. The conventions will re- main in session from three days to two weeks. To Remove Adhesive Plasters. Every one who has had occasion to use adhesive plaster is familiar with the line of adherent, discolored mate- rial that is left on the skin around the edges of the plaster when the strip is removed. This adberent substance ce- sists serubbing with soap and all ordi- nary means of removal. Even scrap- ing with a kunife fails to remove the grime and stickiness completely. But a few drops of gasoline, benzine, ether or chloroform on a piece of cloth will remove the stain as if by magic. The basis of adhesive plaster is rubber, and the four substances mentioned are rub- ber solvents.—Los Angeles News. In the Dumps. There was once an Egyptian king, so it is said, who built a pyramid and died of melancholy. His name was Du wops, yet there are probably few per. sons who know that they are perpet- uating the memory of his tragic history when they remark that they are “in the dumps.” A Trouble Maker. “What sort of a fellow is he?” “A trouble maker.” “He seems peaceable enough.” *1 know, but he’s the sort of a blun. dering chap that denles all the in- genlous lies you've told your wife.”— Detroit Free Press. Considerate. “The most considerate wife 1 ever heard of,” said the philosopher, “was a woman who used to date all her let- ters a week or so ahead to allow her husband time to post them.” Pretty Thin. “Thin!" replied the man who was talking about a mutual acquaintance. “Well, he’s so thin that ‘when he eats macaroni he can only swallow it one plece at a time!” Constipation. ‘When costive or troubled with con- stipation take Chamberlain’s Tab- lets.

Management of Public Ut Modeled ©After Plan of Dayton. Norwood, a suburb of - Boston, 'has decided 'by vote that it will try the town 'managemeit plan “which has been adopted by some fifteen other American communities, Dayton, O., be- ing the largest community to make the experiment. Norwood will choose its new town officials on the third Monday of next January. The selectmen elect- ed will employ a manager. The new charter recently adopted- will wipe out the water, sewer and municipal light boards, the park commission and ‘the tree warden. The assessors will become an ap- pointive board, and the town clerk and town accountant are merged in one appointive office. The appointive power will be vested in a board of five selectmen, and a new elective board of three, designat- ed a finance commission, is created. The town treasurer and tax collector still remain as elective officers, and the town will vote on appropriations the same as ever. The town manager will be responsi- ble only to the selectmen, who wili have the right to remove him by a ma- Jority vote, but they must file with the town clerk, in writing, their reasons for discharge. If he desires to do so the manager may ask for a hearing, and the selectmen are obliged to grant it. Their decision will be final. Working with the selectmen will be a finance commission of three, elected by the voters, who will prepare each year a town budget and submit it to the selectmen. This commission is given power to compel the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of documents and papers relating to town affairs. The usual fines and penalties in such cases are provided in the new charter. Of course witnesses may refuse to tes tify on the ground that such testimony would tend to incriminate them. | The recall is provided for. Two hun dred voters signing a petition may start the recall machinery in motion by filing the necessary papers with the town clerk. Such petition, however, it is provid- ed, cannot be filed within three months | after election, Town officials are pro hibited from king any contract with the town. Such a contract. if made. is voidable on the part of the town. and a heavy fine and imprisonment face the guilty official. As Norwood is the first Massachu- getts town (o try the town manager plan. it will be watched with interest by students of good government throughout the country. The town is well run, and its tax rate is only $11. but the proponents of the new move expect to see it run even better and hope to see the town get more for its money than is possible under the old system. E i 1 Improved Gas lllumination. Owing to the numerons improve- ments, the intensity ot gas fllumina- tion today runs to 5000 candle power and over in single burners. The gas is also distributed under much_higher pressure than formerly. The city of Berlin has systems in op- eration as high as seventeen and a half pounds per square inch. This pressure is obtained by the use of blowers. Another practice employed abroad is to light whole sections of the city si- multaneously. This 1s accomplished by an antomatic lighter for each lamp- post, which are caused to operate by slight changes in the pressure. These changes are in the mains and are con- trolled from a central point. The lights are extingnished simultaneously by the snme method. Special for Sunday. Cupid ice cream, $1.50 a dozen.
