HIGHEST PRICE EVER PAID FOR BASE BALL STAR

The highest price ever paid for a baseball star was paid Monday when Colonel Jacob C. Ruppert, owner of the New York Americans, deposited a check for $125,000 to the credit of Harry Frazee, owner of the Boston American league club, for George “Baber Ruth, greatest, slugger in baseboll. ? The decision of the Boston club to dispose of its greatest star came as a result of the “Babe’s” actions in demanding a salary of $20,000 for next season, when his signed contract called for but SIO,OOO. ’. Ruth broke all home-run records in 1919 by driving out twenty-nine circuit walops, but the feat so turned his head that his demands have been unreasonable since that time.

HOGS STAND THE TRIP BETTER IN TRUCKS

"Farmer* living from 20 to 80 miles from stock markets now haul most of their hogs to town by motor truck,” says Mr. WangeUn, local distributor of Parry Commercial Bodies and Ford Trucks. “The hogs stand the truck trip much better than in a wagon. Besides, it takes less time on the road and they lose less weight. It always meant a considerable weight loss when hauled to market in a wagon. In the summer, the farmer wants to make a night trip to market with a load of hogs, he uses his truck. The truck is unlike a team of horses. It’s never tired—always ready for service.

REVIVAL MAKES GOOD START

SERVICES AT THE FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH DRAW CROWDS A big surprise awaited the evangelists and minister conducting the revival at the Christian church last night. In spite of the fact that it was Monday night the large auditorium wasnearly filled with an enthusiastic audience and the choir platform seating two score of singers was two-thirds filled. The second’surprise came to the audience as well as to the workers when six persons responded to the invitation. “This is the finest Monday night attendance I have seen for years at the beginning of a series of meetings,” declared the Rev. Barbre, minister of the church, “and I believe it is an indication of the great success we have been hoping and praying for. This large chorus choir and the large number of children in the ‘booster’ choir is especially gratifying.” Rev. Barbre used as his subject last night “Fishing for Men.” He pointed out how Christ called and used the humblest of disciples and how he was depending on every Christian to be personal evangelists ana iisn ror souls. : • The chorus choir sang » sgeciri number last night and Mr. Brock sang a solo entitled ‘Thats Why I Love Him.” At the close of the service a double male quartet rehearsed several numbers. There will be special musical features at every service according to the announcement of Mr. Brock. The Brocks visited the high school this afternoon and gave a program. “Authority in Religion’ will be the subject of the sermon tonight. The week night services are begun promptly at 7:30 o clock, with * song service by the Brocks.
