Page Eight LA GRANDE KVRNING OBSERVER, LA GRANDE, ORE. Monday, July 29, 1920 t i If the -in cloth had ripped HAD the cloth of my Oshkosh B'Gosh Overalls torn, I would have been cut topieces,"writes Mr. C.C. Norman, juckson ville,Texas, who underwent the harrowing experience illustrated ' when he swung off a car and a dangling "bleeder rod" caught his ' ' 'overall leg, jerked him off his feet and under the moving train. ; But the cloth didn't rip! It withstood the iv sudden jerk that threw Mr.N'orman down and the repeated tugs as he was rolled and dragged ; , helpless, just ahead of the rolling wheels. ' ' Laboratory tests show that Oshkosh B'Gosh ', : Overalls are made of the strongest, toughest, longest-wearingcloth made. Experiences such as Mr. Norman's, where the greatest test of all is made in a dramatic manner, prove its ; strength beyond question. Cheap overalls cost more per month than good overalls '. Thin long-wearing cloth means lower overall 'I costj to you.

K A N S AS el l V ( A H ) Uolf , Kasoline and the increasingly hil cost of youthful talent have lie cetauated the financial difficul ties of minor league baseball clubs of the midwest and southwest. The lure of the fairway ami op en road to erstwhile diamond fans, in the opinion of lalc Clear, for several years president of the Western lennc and Western asso ciation, has proven "almost de structive competition" r small ball clubs. The salary problem. Mr. Gear believes, has been made doubly acute by payment of comparative ly stupendous w air s to recruits by major league clubs. 1-lnant l. stability w ill bo achieved in the minors, he contends, only when major leagues own and operate weak clubs, or in lieu of that, when minor lencues are allowed to employ raw but promising tal ent at modest salaries. Financial woes have invade-i such class C circuits as the Texas leaue. In the past 4" years J 1 cities, have tried to maintain clubs in ti. Kven now few of its teams make money unless they are win ners. Only the champion und runner-up ever experience appn t ia ble profits. The West Tov,s h jcuo. class I . , is the only survivor of four or tie circuits that have tried to make the prRde in the I .one- Star state. A linos t every discontinuance w us blamed on hicn salary demands. and the fact that many manage ments, in efforts to produce win ners, spent more than they could afford for pLtying talent. One recruit, for example, w as paid Sll.'HM' his first year in or ganized baseball.
