Augusta Is expecting big things of the Merchant' and Manufacturer*’ As sedation under Its re-organUatlon, and we trust that Augusta is not go ing to be disappointed. But big things ■re not achieved unless a high mark Is set and big things striven for. If the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association Is too busy Itself with little things to the exclusion of big things. It means that big tilings ar* rot gclng to be done by the Mer ebants and Manufacturers' Assocla tlon. Let'a go after the auditorium and get It. AUOUBTA IS SURE SOME POLITI CAL TOWN.

There ts an election scheduled lor the near future—the Levee Bond Issue —that ought to appeal to every voter of the city, irrespective of factions and personalities. It's a community Issue.

HONING WITH THE RECORDER Children's Number. Onco upon a tim«* there w;ih a man and h k wife who lived In the great for est of Hamburg He w.ih a very good iiiuti and ho that the Good Fairies were kind to him und his wife and gave them fourteen little children. Noy every flay John, for that was the in- n's mime, went out in the forest and « hopped wood which he sold to the Great Itaron who owned the forest, and on Sat-ur-day night he crossed the bridge in tothe h g city l>e\ond the river to buy pro-vl-sloris for his f.mtly. And n<» matter how much food lie luiMiglit home, it w.m always gone before the next Sat ur-duy night, so that every week he had to buy more and more food und had to work harder and harder, because the Ktu-niucks of his little children were growing large*- and larger. Ho that week by week he became weaker and weaker. Now, one day, John was eating his dinriev In the forest, sitting on a log very weary and tired, and wondering how lie could feed Ids faintly any longer, when all of a sudden the King of the Had Fairies drove up In his chariot, lie stopped behind a liUckle-beiry hush and hid his gold crown and sent away in his chariot, because he did not want John to know who he was. So he quickly changed himself into a Rabbit and step ped out from behind the buckle-berry Lush. Then he eat up and looked at John and nibbled a p-eee of grass und scratch ed his eur with his left hind foot tor luck. And before John could reach his ax to throw at him he vanished. Hut he had sadl all that he wanted to say to John, because Hud Fairies cun put Ideas Into people's heads wtthou using any words. And when the Rabbit had vanished John sat there and began to think. He said to hlmitelf. "Why should I have to work and cut wood all flay for my children when that Kubhit can run uround in the woods all day and do nothing lie has un-doubt ed-ly got more children than l have." So John finished his dinner und took what wood ho had and sold It und did not go home as usual but crossed the liver Into the city to have a good t me And there the Queen of the Hud Fairies Along the Baseball Horizon at the Early May Angle Giants and Athletics Don f t Look So Good Nsw York.—Gnxlng along the base ball horlxon from this early May an gle, one comes to the conclusion that the Giants and Athletics are confront ed with husky little job* In their ef forts to repeat their ISIS pennant win ning stunts. The pro season dope made It look n» If both clubs would have a com paratively easy time of It. But the dope was w rung. And it Isn't the fault of the Athletics and Giant* themselves. They are Just as good as they were last year; perhaps a bit stronger tn spots. The fault ts with the sudden strength shown by the opposition. The Yankees were a pte counter proposition for the Athletics lust year. Whenever they needed a few games they engaged the Yankees tn combat. They buttled tile Yankees on twenty two occasions and won out In seven teen The Atllletles won sixteen out of the first seventeen games they played against the Yankees last year and cinched the pennant. After that they presented the Yankee* with three or four games, as a sort of consolu tlon prise. llut It's considerably different this year. The Yanks opened the season with the Athletic* and surprised ev erybody In ripping off the first three games, and plainly convinced everyone that If tlie Athletics figured on grab bing the pennant through Yankee con quests this year the Athletics wouldn't do any pennant grabbing The Athletics last year had the In dian sign on the Senators, hut It Is quite unlikely that they'll duplicate their IHI3 performance this year, laud year the Athletics won fourteen of the twenty-two games played against Washington. The Athletics last year broke even with the Chicago White Sox and took fifteen out of twenty-two games from the Tigers Will they repeat? Hardly, ts the two Western aggregations con tinue w hissing along at the speed at which they Started the season. When the Tigers ««i going, ailed ana abet ted by some g.*>d pitching and the mace work of Cobb and Crawford, they are a mighty hard aggregation to head off. And they seem to he dr: ■ pretty- well, thank you Similar coudttotns exist in the Na tional 1-eagua. Some of the clubs that INDOOR SPORTS By Tad met hlin and took all of his money and gave him a Potion to drink so that he fell a-sleep on the roadside and the Of fl-eers got h.in. And that was Just what the Had Fairies wanted to happen >o John, because they hate people who stay at home and work. Now, when night fell and John did not come home, Mary, Ids wife, was fright ened and went out with her two eldest sons, John and 'Vr-dl-nand, who were twins, seven years old, to search for him in the forest. They soon came to the place where he had been chopping that day, and the twins began to pick buckle-berries from the bush. Now It so happened that the King of the Had Fairies had for gotten where he hud left his gold crown so that Ferdinand found It still lying In the grass. He picked It tip with a shout and showed it to his mother, but she only laughed as grown people do and said It was the shell of a partridge’s egg Hut he knew better and held it in his hand. Now Just at that time the Rabbit came to be passing by looking for Ills gold crown, because he could not change hack in the Fairy King until he found it. When he saw It In Ferdinand’s hand he came close up to him meaning to Jump and take it away from him. Hut he was blinded by the lantern and did not set* Mary who was standing behind, so that he Jumped straight Into her apron which she was holding full of huckle-beYrles and she, with a loud shrek, grappled him so tight that she held him. Then she saw It was only a rabbit she was over-joy ed and took him home and cooked him for supper, so that they had a better supper than they had had for many dftys. And that was the end of the King of the Had Fairies. That ts what he got for putting Ideas Into Feople’s Heads. Meanwhile John was taken before a Judge In the city, who took pity on him and let him go. For the Judge had heard before the evils which befall woodmen when they come to town, and warned him to buy only food when he had to come on Haturfday night. So John went home hh quickly as he could and was very soYry and ashamed. But h's wife forgave him and gave him a piece of Rabbit and they lived unhappily ever after. were easy for thr Giants last year are showing unexpected strength, and in stead of being the means for the Gi ants to climb to a fourth straight pen nant, they Just now appear to be the means that will deprive the Giunta of that rare honor. The Giants took fourteen out of twenty-two games from the Pirates last year. If the Smoke City persons continue ut their present gait the Gi ants will be lucky to break even. They took fourteen out of twenty-two from the Phillies, fourteen out of twenty two from the Dodgers, fourteen out of twenty-one from the Rqston Braves and seventeen out of twehty-two from Garry Herrmann's Itedlegs. It's some thing of u cinch bet that they won't repeat these performances against these teams this year. And It's also something of a cinch, according to the present dope, that they won't grab off enough extrn victories from the Cubs and Cardinals to offset their loss es against these other teams. Ihe Dodgers have a better aggre gation this year than last and ought to furnish trouble. The Phtlltes. de spite the fact that they were "wreck ed' seem to be able to heat up the Giants In a more brutal manner than they did last year with thetr machine Intact. The Reds are doing a little better than last year, and Manager Herxog ts quite hopeful—even boastful—when It comes to looking forward to scrap ping with hi* old team-mates. And so, all In all. It would seem that the Giants and Phtlltes have some lob ahead of them If they expect to breeie tn under the tape again this year at the head of the field.

SHE PUT IN A*MONEY CROP (Dover News.) One day last week Mrs. Cllntle Bro shcars handed a small purse contain ing In change to her son to put out of the way of his little sister Elisabeth. Instead, he handed the pocketbook to the little miss. Mr 3. Broshears had been planting garden, and the little daughter had been an interested onlooker. Imagine the sur prise of Mrs. Broshears when the little girl later brought her the empty purse with the statement that she had plant ed the money in the garden. When asked If It was all planted in one place the little one Innocently replied: “I planted it like you planted your garden seed; you didn't put them all In one hole." So far none of the money has been found. Many an old er person has planted good money in less promising gardens and are still waiting for it to grow.
