Hockey.'
The oriental origin of hockey Is
proved by the fa.ct that It Is often
mentioned by Arabian writers In the
earliest days of Islam at a time when
France and England had no national
existence. They speak of it as koura
and describe it as a game in which
the ball, is struck with a curved stick,
called mihdjan or sanladjan. The lat
ter" word-Is Persian, which seems t
indicate that the Arabs learned the
game from their neighbors of Iran,
who first taught them civilization.

HARMONY. HEALTH. HAPPINESS.
And' now abideth harmony, happi
ness, health, these three, but "
The greatest of these is harmony.
Because upon harmony depends
both your health and your happiness.
Is there discord anywhere in your
mind or body? . Then you are wasting
energy, vitality. The less you waste
of precious vital force the more power
you have to throw off disease.
Fadism? It is a fact of medical
science.
When there is concord, harmony, the
processes of digestion, assimilation
and elimination go on without fric
tion. Food goes to the right place
and nourishes the cells of body and
brain.
But -
. Introduce discord; indulge in a fit
of anger -or envy; agitate your mind
to the point of worry. Instead of go
ing to the right place the food goes to
waste and clogs the system.
The trouble? -
Lack of co-operation, harmony.
There Is variance, discord. In the
warring of the members force is lost
and you are rendered liable to disease
through weakness.
What is true of digestion is also
true of the nervous system. Discord
will set your nerves to jangling 'like
sweet bells out of tune." They be
come ragged edged, jerky and nag
you. The end?
Prostration.
And so of the circulation, of the
blood and many other functions of the
body. ,
' Harmony a great physician. It
promotes digestion, thrills the body
and mind with vital energy, steadies
the nerves makes you a man alive!
Harmony, happiness, health. "A
threefold cord is not easily broken."
Harmonize your life. Allow noth
ing, least of all .the petty things, to
move you from your poise.
Science will tell you that hatred and
jealousy and fear are real poison. It
has been established by many labora
tory experiments that they distil a
deadly toxin In the blood.
On the other hand, the hisher emo
tions, such as love, hope, joy, peace,
courage, are real blood elixirs. ,

Dear Sir: I was very glad to know
that you are to make the fight for the
Republican nomination for member of
the House from old Clackamas. I am
a native of that county and I would
be greatly pleased to see you win out.
I looked upon you last session as one
of the truest and ablest champions of
the people. In fact, had I not so con
sidered you, I would not have asked
you to act as floor leader of the anti
assembly people. The experience you
gained last session will certainly en
able you to accomplish much more for
the people next session if they have
the foresight to return you to the
House. I believe they will do so if
you will go straight to them with your
record.
Wishing you all success, I remain
As ever, sincerely yours,
JOHN P. RUSK,
Speaker Oregon House of Represen

YOUNG PLAYERS
COST A FORTUNE
Baseball Magnates Spend
$500,000 For New Talent.
PITTSBURGH HEAVIEST BUYER
Philadelphia Americans and New York
Giants, Pennant Winners, Made
Smallest Outlay Brooklyn Second to
Pittsburgh Chicago White Sox
Heads American League.
Half a million dollars' worth of base
ball talent is now preparing for the
opening of the baseball season. - This
enormous sum . of mouey has been in
vested In a bevy of bush league beau
ties who are now being put to the su
preme test in the southern training
quarters. After the wheat has been
separated from the chaff it is extreme
ly doubtful if any club finds more than
one or two players qualified for fast
company, no matter how weak the big
league team may be or how anxious is
the manager to strengthen his nine.
.The Amerionn learue Ixmirht outright
$147,383 worth of players from the mi
nors last year, while the National
league purchased $135,280 worth. In
drafting $38,650 was expended by the
younger organization, while Its rival
spent $45,400, making the total cash ex
penditure of both leagues $366,713.33.
If the purchased players have sufficient
ability to stay in the majors $72,416.67
must be spent by the American league
to retain them and $56,200 by the Na
tional, making the total outlay $495,330
for the two organizations.
Money Is No Object. t -
An examination of the statistics re
veals the fact that money is no object
with the owners In their efforts to
strengthen their teams. Pittsburgh
outstripped the teams of both leagues
In paying for new talent. Its total out
lay being largely augmented, however,
by the $22,500 paid over for Marty
O'TooIe. Cash payments of $46,600,
with drafting expenditures of $4,700
and additional payments of $5,000 If
certain players are retained, bring the
cost of young players to the Pirates up
to $55,000.
The Brooklyn Superbas were second
only to Pittsburgh in the National
league in the pursuit of new stars. Eb
bets paid $16,980 for. purchased play
ers, with a little bill of $15,900 to settle
If they are all retained, while $14,000
was expended in drafting men. The
total of $45,500 shows how sincere the
Brooklyn owner is attempting to build
up a good team. The Cincinnati Reds
were the next heaviest buyers in the
National league, paying around $35,
000 for youngsters, while the Cubs
trail.along with $20,000.
The Giants paid only $10,750 for the
purchased players, with a prospect of
laying but $9,250 If they are retained.
The sum paid in the drafting process
amounted to $3,250, the Giants getting
off the cheapest of any club, except
the Phillies, who paid out $100 less In
the draft The Giants' total outlay
represents about $22,000. The Boston
Braves spent only $13,000 for new
men, which was the lowest outlay of
any club.
White Sox Led the A. L. In Purchases.
The Chicago White Sox headed the
American league and were second to
Pittsburgh in the prices paid for
youngsters. ' The payments included
$25,783.33 for purchased players, $23,
9C6.67 additional payments to retain
men and $6,800 in the draft, making the
total around $56,000. The Boston Red
Sox were second, spending around $45.
000, while the Cleveland Naps were
third with $38,000. The Yankees were
fourth at $28,000 and St Louis fifth
at $26,000.
The Detroit Tigers were the biggest
"pikers" in the league, spending only a
paltry $15,000, while Connie Mack ran
Hughie Jennings a close race for last
place, with an expenditure of $17,000.
The Brooklyn Superbas got the most
for their money, having had forty-one
new players on their payroll at differ
ent times, not including the regular
men. Many of these young fellows
were looked over and disposed of as
unavailable last season. The Chicago
White Sox signed thirty-four new men
and the Cleveland Naps thirty-one.
The Boston Red Sox and the Pitts
burgh Pirates had twenty-eight apiece,
Cincinnati twenty-six, the - St... Louis
Cardinals twenty-four, the Browns
twenty-two and the Phillies twenty
one. Connie Mack did only a small
business, carefully ' selecting eleven
players for a trial, while the Giants
took fifteen and Detroit seventeen

whom the interest of the pubic is es
pecially centered, as these four have
put up an exceptionally interesting
fight to land the 'coveted j-ize. The
friends of each of these declare that
their candidate will surely win, but
the count of votes this evening will
determine the victor.
Wilson's 20,000 votes cast last Satur
day has naturally given him the lead
in this special contest, but the other
principal contestants for the $15 ord
er are known to have hundreds of
thousands of votes held in reserve.
Today will probably witness large
blocks of votes cast, and the result
of the count tonight is very uncertain.
While the contest for the bie auto
mobile started three weeks ago, sev
eral prominent citizens of this county
realizing that the race is still in its
infancy, are contemplating entering
the game with a view of winning the
$785 Ford. They realize that the big
black touring car is indeed a prize
worth while and that as every sub
scription to the Daily or Weekly En
terprise is worth its share of votes,
they believe there is still room for a
few more "live wire to make the con
test all the more interesting. A prom
inent granger residing at Mulino is
of the opinion that he can secure the
backing of his grange and that every
member will assist himto hustle sub
scriptions. Some popular school teach
er would prove a strong candidate as
the entire district would turn out to
help him or her win the automobile
This contest presents an unusual op
portunity for some prominent lodge
member, or church worker for in un
ion there is strength. And some of the
men in the mill would be surprised to
find out how their fellow workmen
would all come to their aid in landing
subscriptions. For instance there are
a dozen young men working for the
W. P. & p. Co., who have scores of
friends working side by side with
them, and who are anxious to have
a chance to show their loyalty. This
mill broke its record Wednesday by
producing over 206 tons of paper in
the one day, which only goes to show
the calibre of the mill men, who if
entered in the auto contest would be
sure to shatter previous vote records.
Over a thousand fellow workmen' all
united in the great cause of getting
the most votes for "theiB man" would
produce startling results.
Remember the polls close this aft
ernoon at four o'clock and all votes
to be counted in the special contest
must be polled by that hour. Wilson
already has over 26,000 votes to his
credit but any candidate turning in
four or five of the five year subscrip
tions would probably change the
standing. Each entrant is puzzled to.
estimate just how many votes will be
required to swing the prize, and they
do not wish to use any more of their
reserve votes than necessary. Watch
tomorrow's Enterprise for the stand
ing of the candidates to date and the
announcement of the winner of the $15
merchandise certificate.

"And did they put the hounds on, the
scent of the escaped prisoners?" asked
the New York police captain.
"Sure," replied the detective.
"And did the dogs run them down?"
"No."
"Why, I thought they" were such
wonderful dogs on the scent."
"Well, they are; but, you see, they
trailed the prisoners to the subway,
and there were so many different
smells that the hounds lost the trail."
