THEY >"EED CASH AND CKED1T
lb're has been rather meager
uewstaoer report : ol the pro
ce ditss of the Pan-American con
ference, but from such .report as we
have <ue fact, or rather, one need,
is emphasized. The South American
countries tQ which we are looking
as offering a.new field for trade
need cash and credit. They have
hatf both from Europe and the sup
ply is cut off. Will the .United
States supply It?
We have the cash. | Our bank
statements are a sufficient warrant
for that. The credit is.a matter of
confidence and a matter of belief in
the field to which it is proposed to
extend it. If it is to be extended it
must be by reason of a more, famil
iar knowledge of that field and the
people who do business in it and
are to be accomodated. How we may
gain that knowledge is the inter
esting and practical consideration.
We cannot do it through the Pan
American conference itself, nor
through the original joumevings.
abroad of the representatives of
big iuterests and great promotion
bodies. All these will help to the
ultimate end, but if the real knowl
edge that will be serviceable to the
South Americans and to ourselves
•"» es at all, individual business in
this country must take a chance,
and conduct its investigations and
reach its own conclusions more or
lots on its own hook.
To American business the South
American trade is an adventure,
just as much as seeking gold in
Alaska—with this difference, that
it has proved profitable to Euro
pean manufacturers and merchants
who by stress of circumstances
must now abandon it. It is a
field that has been worked and in
the working the value of it.has
been demonstrated. But aa Ameri
can business goes in to.that same
'.ield it muse be willipg to take the
business risk and pay thg expense
of its own pioneering and initial
soliciting of trade. Undoubtedly
the reward will be great, but it is
not to be handed to the American
business man on a silver platter.
ANOTHER STAK FOR THE FLAG
An American Rhodes scholar,
working in Belgium under the
direction ol the Red Cross associa
tion, writes to a friend in this coun
try: "You have had .forty-eight
stars in your flag; but now you
will have forty-nine, because, you
must add one for Belgium.''
The foregoing is written as an
expression of Belgium sentiment
to be lound on every hand. It con
veys to this country the fervency of
Belgian gratitude .for the work of
brotherly love that Americans have
done in that stricken country.
Frequently this great nation is
tomplimented by notables abroad
or from abroad; and the.terms of
the compliment usually run to our
national ; aggrandizement, our
achievements in industry, in trade,
in science and research, in the
building of cities and the con
struction of railroads and canals.
The burden of the praise has to.do
with our material greatness and
with the national intellect .and
morality essential to it. But this
student-conveyed praise from Bel
gium s of a different type.
Misery relieved pays its tribute of
gratitude; and the very nature of J
the tribute itself brings.home to us
the character of the service that has
been rendered. It is a tribute to
Ameiican human'ty. We should b
more proud of it than of citie6
built, or railroads or canals .con
structed, or in any of the achieve
ments that have brought as materia
grandeur and fame.
A new star .to the flag is a
figure well chosen. The praise
Implied adds new luster to the Am
erican name.—Portland Telegram.
$150,000 PITCHING
STAFF FOR 83,600
Washington Lands Great Htirl
j ing Corps For This Sum.
| JOHNSON VALUED AT$60,000
j Manager Griffith Sets This Price on
the Great Waltei—Senators' Leader
Says His Twirling Department Is
Now the Best In the Land.
Washington fans boast of the great
est slabbist of all times, Walter Perry
Johnson, the Coffeyvllle thunderbolt
Manager Griffith goes even further
than this. He claims that he has the
best equipped pitching staff In base
ball and says that bis kids, as he calls
them, are going to demonstrate to other
teams that such Is the case.
Have you fans who go to the ball
park day in and day out ever stopped
to consider what the Nationals' pitch
ers would bring If put under the ham
mer? Furthermore, have you ever giv
en a thought as to the price these
thirteen slabbists cost the Washington
baseball club? If you haven't then you
will be interested to note the following:
Manager Griffith has set a price on
Walter Johnson. "If 1 were to put
Johnson on sale he would bring at
least $CO.OOO," said Griff. "Ayres is
worth $10,000, Shaw, $20,000; Bentley.
$10,000; Boehling. $15,000; Harper, $10,
000; Engel, $5,000; Gallia. $5,000; Hop
per, $3,0(0 and probably more, to say
nothing of my other promising young
sters, who would bring a goodly sum."
Despite the fact that Griffith has
named these figures, he says that he
would not sell one of them for this
price
A $150,000 Investment.
Summing it up. it Is about a $150,000
Investment, and It cost less than any
staff in big baseball. Johnson came
for his railroad fare. Think of that
Cliff Blankenshlp, former National,
saw him working and 6igned blm.
Shaw was a gift, having been signed
while a member of the Pittsburgh col
legians. Bentley was a green country
lad and reported for a trial Boehling
was with the Richmond Battle As
team. He pitched a game in Washing
ton and made such a favorable impres
sion that Griffith secured his services.
Engel was a student at Mount St.
Mary's college when he signed his con
tract, while Harper was picked up off
the sand lots at Hackensack, N. J.
Thormahlen, Clarke. Iiussell and Ste
vens are the youngsters who may make
good and further Uicreuse the full value
of the pitching staff.
Only Three Pitchers oostiy.
There were three pitchers who cost
real coin. They are Gallia, Ayers and
Hopper. For Gallia Griffith traded
Vaughan and Walker, and he figures
that it was a $12,000 transaction. Ayers
•xv3 bought from the Richmond club
for the surprisingly low price of ? 1,200.
Tommy Long, the outfielder, was trud
ed for Hopper, and $1,200 was spent lu
securing Long. Therefore It will be
seen that the pitching stall of the
Washington baseball club cost but
$3,000, and you could not buy one who
was on last year's team for that
amount.
When Griffith said that be had the
greatest pitching staff In the business
he hit the nail squarely on the head.
Griff has Ave left hauders, three of
which are bound to win a lot of ball
games this season. They are Bentley,
Boehllng and Harper. He has Thor
tnahlen. who gives every promise of
becoming a star, and young Clarke,
who, although still green, may make a
good siabblst when be gains more ex
perience. It Is the most promising
southpaw quintet in major league base
OalL
Shaw, Avers. Harper. Engel and Gal
lia are all good pitchers and above the
average. Besides costing a club less
than any In the business and being
worth more, these pitchers. In the mat
ter of age. average less than those on
any other club. Several of then; have
not passed the minority mark, and
Johnson, although considered a vet
eran, is still a young man. Other ma
jor leiigue clubs are bound to have a
whole lot of trouble beating this pitch
ing staff this year, it Is gradually
rounding into shape and was ready
when J»e gong rang.

only one way to cure deafness, and that IS

this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling

entirely cloned. Deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi
