LUTHERANS TO PLAN WAR WORK
Dr. F. H. Knuhel of New York City, Chairman of the National Lutheran Commission for Soldiers' and Sailors' Welfare, has issued a call to the leading Lutheran laymen and clergymen of the country to meet in Pittsburgh at (the Fort Pitt Hotel. Jan. 30 31. ,The convention is called to arrange for raising the first year's budget for the
war time service of the church. The budget is estimated at $760,000. The
call follows: .' "As Chairman of the National Lutheran Commission I address to you a tall for your personal service, which 1 believe you will realize to be nothing less than a Divine call. "The Commission is an authorized organization representing every Lutheran in the United States. That means a constituency of possibly ten million people. In one form or another every General Body of the Church has committed to us definite tasks to perform. The 15.000 conyegations that worship in the English, German, Swedish. Norwegian, Danish, Icelanic and other .languages are co-operating. "Vou should realize our work to be distinctly an emergency operation. An emergency however implies a condlHon where a man must as needed cease every other activity in which he In engaged in order to cope with the present circumstances. Such an emergency has manifestly arisen for the world anil for every man. It is a time of tenting. In the fearful crucible of this war. every nation is beIn put to the test. Our own dear land
I. also n the furnace. None the less In the crisis upon every individual life. The soldiers in their changed lives, ihe wounded in their affliction, the sorrowing ones in their losses, fne public men in their opinions and utterances, the populace in their 'prejudices are all being sfarched and v pished. The supreme test is upon Hip Christian church. What will it ilo in this hour? Will it be true to its , I'cunder? Will it be true lo the awful needs of men? Will it be true to the nation? Operations are under way in all lands to meet the spiritual and moral demands of the time. In our own country the Government has been mindful of such demands. The wonderful activities of the V. M. C. A. represent a mighty effort. The world's fundamental spiritual need cannot, however, be satisfied without the pow. crful initiative of Christ's church. The ery agencies mentioned are calling upon the church to see and to do."

The Models won two games from the K. of C. bowling team and tier with it fortht third but rolling off the tie gave the game to the K. of C.'s on the Twigg alley Wednesday night. The Coca Colas are slowly getting out of the -danger zone and putting such a breach between them and the other teams in the City league that it will be able to hold the lead for some time.

For long and faithful service, Leon Ames of the St. Louis Cardinals now grabs the scull-cap as the game's oldest player. While his record is not yet on a par with that of the divine Honus, he is close on the heels .-f such as Johnny Evers and Christy Mathewson and now that these are retired from active play Leon can pin on the whiskers and reign as the graybeard of the game. Ames broke into the big leagues with the Giants in the middle of the season of 1903 and has been heaving them over in the National league ever 6ince. He pitched for the Giants ten years and after leaving them worked two years for the Reds and two and a half for the Cardinals. He is younger, even so, than a number of other big leaguers who have not been in the big
show as long, being just thirty-five. And he will take his regular turn in the box for the Cardinals next season. Ames looks pretty certain to equal if not to surpass the record of any pitcher for long service in the big show. Christy Mathewson's sixteen years with the Giants is the best mark so far and as Leon has turned in fifteen and is about to start on another he looks reasonably sure of the distinction. It is unlikely that he will
reach tne mars of twenty years in the National league made by Hans Wagner, but as there are players in the game older than Leon who hope for several more good seasons he may come near doing it. Standing as it does, Ames' record deserves a round of applause. Pitchers with arms that work so long and well are rare birds indeed.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT Caution cannot prevent every slip, for all men fall; no mortal yet has lived who did not err at all.
Nobility of mind gives contentment, but base, ignoble thoughts destroy all happiness.
Nature is supernatural to man and is worshipped by him; nature is both father and mother to him "Honor thy Father and thy Mother." Charity may begin at home, but when you keep it there its ends in the miser's gift to himself.
Travelling salesmen, professional men, folks tired of housekeeping, newly married couples, bachelors, young men, strangers in the city all look in The Palladium for your "Boarding" or "Rooms" Want Ads.
'No, I do not want to have anything to do with them. They are a fraud and a humbug and I do not want to get into trouble with the farmers by having to distribute those seeds among them.' "I am not opposed to the government furnishing free . seeds to the poor people in any part of the country if this is necessary in order to enable them to have gardens," continued Mr. Elliott, "but I am opposed to this political propaganda of scattering bunches of seed all over this country under congressional frank for whatever political benefit may come from it to the men who send them. I am therefore in favor of voting to strike out of this bill that part which appropriates for seeds nearly a half million dollars of the ' people's money,
which can be better used for some other purpose In this war."

The government has been distributing these garden seeds over that district for the last twenty-five years, perhaps; and I wish to say this: that .from that, great agricultural district I have, so far, received less than fifty applications from farmers for these seeds. I have received less than 500 applications from men who work in factories for these seeds.

OXFORD. O., Jaa. 31.Th tavings t ank conducted for the benefit of tho pupils of the William McGuffey schools ,MiamI University, has been practically tr.kcn over by tht government. Yeslerday Postmaster W. B. Meyer visited (be school, explained the thrift ttaaip proposition and sold $360 worth of

There is the chance that the war tax on baseball admissions next season will cauee some annoyance among the fans. The baseball owners would do well to consider the point a while at least and bear in mind that the theatrical business has not been unharmed by the war tax. If baseball Is going to suffer in the least as other amusements have suffered it might be a reasonable idea for the baseball magnates to knock the tax off tha price- of baseball tickets or in other words pay the tax themselves. Then again they might advance their prices in a way that would split the difference between the fan on the club. The war tax burden might be shared fifty-
I fifty. A fau about to buy a seventy-
five cent ticket would be more willing to pay eighty cents straight than to have the trouble of digging up IVt cents war tax. Baseball clubs generally would do better if they pocketed a loss of a few cents on every ticket and sold the seats at a straight price than if they hung the war tax sign on every fan's nose. The two college pitchers the St. Louis Cardinals are reported as about to sign for trials in the spring are said to he Parker Twombley of Lehigh
University and Edward Langdon of Pittsburgh University. It was rumored early last fall that Langdon had agreed to give the Cardinals first option on bis services if he decided to take up professional baseball. . Because of the National league restriction on the length of the training period there will be no sending of pitchers ahead of the main team this spring. Most or the National league clubs have notified their pitchers that they will be expected to' report in "condition," which means they are expected to start their workouts at home a couple of weeks tn advance of the training period.

Sherrod Smith of the Robins led the r National league pitchers last season J

the St. Louis Browns, having taken stock of his outfield talent, finds that all he has bats from the left side of the plate, whereupon he announces that he is in the market to buy or trade for a. rieht-handed bitter who also can catch flics. There has been a decided lull in the trading season since Connie Mack sent Mclnnis to the Red Sox. Perhaps this is only the calm before another outbreak. Barney Dreyfuss is angling for Catcher Frank Snyder of the Cardinals and it is expected that the deal will be closed within a short time.
Connie Mack may not have a cinch on the cellar after all if Ty Cobb really is thinking about enlisting in the army. Mule Watson of the St. Louis Cardinals scored six victories over the Cincinnati Reds last season. Jim V'aughan beat the Robins six times in seven chances and scored six victories over the Pirates. Dan Howley, who has managed the Montreal club for the past few years, is being mentioned as the successor to Jack Hendricks as manager of the Indianapolis club.
