Baseball is coming back stronger than ever this year many .leagues tare had a readjustment of their classi fication and have been advanced, which means that more money wm oe speni jn players' salaries than ever before md that faster ball will naturally re sult. The Piedmont league, the most -ompact circuit in the country, last jeason was a class D outfit; rtow the federal population statistics gives it rtout -150 population oyer ;ife0jD00, the 'otal needed to elevate it'into the class ...vncy ,a a inmg of the pastthe player performs for the figure shown nls contract. . Any violation makes the player a free agent and forfeit th. franchise of the club evading the rules and regulations of the national pas time. To check up on the clubs, the president of the national commission, heretofore an easy office job, is con tinually onthe road and may drop in at any time to Inspect any club's books. It means sticking: within the salary limits of your league. Should Hake Money , All of which is recited to show that the chances of the Wilmington club to at least break even If not earn money are enhanced this year. The Eastern Carolina league must ' necessarily,, be a class D circuit, since itsipopulation requirements will fall short of higher classification. Only $2,400 may be spent each month for the 13 or 14 men the club can carry, the total Including the salary of the pilot. This means young ball players in the , main, with a few old heads scattered here and there. Old timers, when in flocks, get to go ing through the motions, stuff that is hot' calculated to impress the paying customers any too deeply; youngsters generally take the game seriously, and that is the dope that impresses the bugs. It will cost the local club approxi mately $4,500 to lease grounds and equip the' field properly. The remain der of the sum desired, $5,500, will go' for uniforms,' training expenses, trans pprtatioRsand other expenses to be en countered before money begins flowing in through the gates. The club will be chartered, it is believed, and officers elected after the stock has been placed so that each shareholder may have a voice; in the selection of the men handl ing .the money. At.: any rate, every fan should at tend, thev meeting this evening at 8:15. Wllrtfihgton's answer is to be given at this 'time. . local Legion Post Auxiliary Is Organized By Wilmington Women Officers Are Elected and Charter Is Presented, Mrs. J. V. Grainger Being Chosen Presidentr; Major General James I. Metts, U. C. V. State Commander, Makes Principal Address of Presentation Service compelled a suspension of school for the past two weeks. It is hoped to have everything: ready for school to reopen Monday. The movement of seed Irish potatoes here is quite lively now, ana, not withstanding the untowardr financial situation and market outlook, brokers say the prospect is for approximately two-thirds of a normal acreage. i Entrance into the store of Y. H. Knowles company, was effected in the rear Thursday nisrhv. Just what all the robbers took is not known, but a quantity of flour was taken. As a result of recent snows and incessant rains, practically all .high ways leading from Mount Olive are in the worst condition they have been for years almost impassable- and will become actually so speedily unless clear weather comes immediately. For the first time in many months, only one rural carrier tried to make his route with an automobile Wednesday, the other five having fallen back on old Dobbin and the buggy, so uni versally used before flivvers got .so numerous; but some were skeptical of even Dobbin's ability to "pull through" today. Rev. R. H. Herring, pastor the Bap tist church, has been called to the pastorate of the Baptist church at Waynesville, and has signified his In tention to accept at the end of his pastoral year here, April 1. Rev. Mr. Herring came here from Rutherford ton six years ago and has had a very successful pastorate here. Under his leadership the church has experienced a remarkably satisfactory growth and development along all lines. If politics, instead of civil service, is the determining factor in the selection of postmasters after Mr. Harding takes office, there will likely be a lively con test for the office here. J. L. Smith, incumbent, who was formerly a rural carrier, was given a recess appointment by Mr. Wilson, fol lowing an examination; but the Re publican senate has never confirmed his appointment. Acting upon the presumption that he never will be confirmed, at least four local Republicans are reported to be aspirants for the plumb, and are said to be lining up their forces for the final show-down, should it come. These are: Daniel Jones, a prominent farm er residing a mile north of town; Allen Andrews, a well known young produce and commission broker; Geo. E. Lewis, carrier on route 3; and W. J. Flowers, former postmaster from 1900 to 1912. MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 10. A sheriffs possee,; is searching for Floyd John son, who is alleged to have shot four men at 3:30 p. m. today five miles west of Fort Pierce. . M. H. Dillmon, whose face was shot almost entirely off, is not expected to live; James Shelton is seriously in jured in the back and one leg; Joseph McKihney , was . badly hurt by buck shot strikllng his head and eyes; A1-. fred Woods was shot through one leg. Woods is not seriously hurt. The men claim they drove up to Johnson's house and asked for some whiskey. A truck loaded with liquor was standing in front of Johnson's house and Johnson is said to have toe lieved they intended confiscating it. The men were shot with a shotgun loaded with buckshot. None of them were armed. No further trouble Is expected, says a wire to the Miami Herald from Fort Pierce, as the excitement following the Shooting has calmed' down. JAZZ DRUMMER RETURNS Director West, of West's orchestra, announces that he has again secured the services of W. G. Twining, well known "jazz" drummer, and that the musician will make his initial-appearance with the West orchestra at a souvenir - dance to be given at Lake side Park this evening from -8:30 to 12 o'clock. Mr. Twining has played In Wilmington before, but for the -past some time he has been located in At lanta. He will also be general agent and advertising manager for the West orchestra. At a meeting: marked by a most im pressive ceremony and a large gather ing: of mothers, wives, sisters and ether relatives of the Wilmington hoys who served Uncle Sam ' during the World war, Cyrus Hogue, commander of the North Carolina American legion, presented the charter to the organiza tion of the Woman's auxiliary of the local post of the American legion at the ipgion hut in postofflce park last venin?. On behalf of the ladies who organized the Woman's auxiliary, Mrs, J. V. Giainger accepted the charter. Btat Commander Hogue, in presenting the charter, made some very appro pirate remarks as did Mrs. Grainger in accepting it. Maj. Gen. Jamn I. Metts, of this tity, rnmmander . ofJ the North Caro lina division of the United Confeder al vetfrans, was the speaker of the renins. At the conclusion of his talk the charter presentation was made, after which the members of the Woman's auxiliary elected officers as follows: President. Mrs. J. V. Grain ier; vi-e president, Mrs. L. Bluethen- tna,: KPoreta.rv. Mm T. W David: miration, as well as in appreciation, for the sacrifices of the boys of Amer ica who plunged into the terrible cat aclysm of human anguish and human death. "But It is well and to be gloried In that the men of the World war will continue to give the. country the bene fit of their services and will struggle to keep to the fore American princi ples, to make secure for all time to come the democracy they saved for the world upon the bloody battlefields of Europe. "It comes as a blessing, it seems to me, that the mothers, the wives, the sisters and the daughters of the val iant men who compose this organiza tion and of many of those who made the supreme sacrifice yet who must live with the legion In spirit, should cpe forward to Join the ranks; to add their counsel and their services. It is truly an insrpvration and I shall ever hold dear the thought that I have had the honor of being here. And as I greet this splendid womanhood here to night my mind runs back to scenes of "LANGUID" THAT'S THE WORD Not Sick Exactly, Just Seem to Have No Ambition An Awful Feeling Necessary Seldom Pepto-Mangan, The Red Blood Builder, Does Away with Languor T v FUNERAL MR. PARKER TODAY The funeral of M. M. Parker, who died at his home.

The interment will.be made, in Bellevue cemetery. If you don't feel like doing things, you won't. If you wonder where some people get all their energy, the answer is from good food which in turn makes rich, red blood. ' If your food does not give the nour ishment and vigor it should, it is most likely that your blood is so weak that it needs a little extra help for a time to build it up to normal strength. Thousands of men and women have been restored to vigorous health and lasting happiness by Gude's Pepto Mangan. This beneficial blood tonic, contains the very properties so vitally needed to improve the blood. Pepto Mangan, if taken for a few weeks, will enrich the blood and create thousands of the tiny red blood cells that are so necessary to carry nourishment and strength to every part of the body. Be sure to ask your druggist for ''Gude's" when you order Pepto-Mangan. For convenience it is prepared In liquid and tablet form, both possess ing "exactly the same medicinal prop erties. "Gude's" is the genuine Pepto Mangan. Look for the name "Gude's" on the package. (Adv.) . . over sixty years ago and there, amid trir.r.
