' In . that statement Mr. Hughes said that the government of ; the United States ."viewa with deep sympathy and grave concern, the plight or. the people of Russia and desires to aid by every appropriate means fn promoting proper opportunities through which commerce xan be established upon a sound basis." He could Bee no assurance of de velopment of trade because of lack of production in : Russia. : "Pro duction is conditioned upon j the safety of-life, the recognition by firm guarantees of private proper ty, the sanctity of contract, and the rights of free labor," he de clared. "If fundamental changes are contemplated Involving due regard of persons - and .' property and the establishment of condi tions essential to the maintenance of commerce, this government will be glad to have convincing evl dence of . the consummation; of such changes, and until this evi dence is supplied, this government is unable to perceive that there is any proper basis for considering trade relations. , . Recent discussion in London shows that not at any time nor in any respect has the soviet gov ernment of Russia dealt honorably with Great . Britain under ; the agreements they entered Into. As a consequence, Great Britain re cently Issued what was practi cally an ultimatum to the Soviets calling attention to the lack of good faith. It was British diplo macy rather than American diplo macy that was, short-sighted.

In order to do ( this successfully he must, train himself to1 run forwards ; and pick op the ball while in i motion.:. .This .i. not easy. The ' only way to ,learn f It Is to practice.- ; .' - Practice the quick start 'In running. A foot or two gained by a quick start will often al low the third baseman, to catch a hunt or line drive. - A young third baseman, will do well to de vote a, few minutes i each-, day to perfecting his running ah'd start lng.' ! 'i : ' Cover Wide Range At one moment - the s third baseman nay 'bet far out In, the field from hi a base.7 At another he may be ; almost ; on top of home plate.' At still another he will be - near i his base watching some play. ; From this yon can see that he must cover a lot of ground. However, It is a more or less narrow strip of territory. He plays along the base-line and does not, like a fielder, cover a wide'- range ' to- right- and left. True, there ' are times when it Is his duty , to get hits which are ' nearly in the i shortstop's field, but usually the third base, man plays f a - narroow strip . be tween his base and home plate. A third baseman- should learn, to throw accurately with the ..un derhand throw. The better un derhand .thrower a boy is, the better third baseman he will be come. .

An : old form' of ten nis was a popular game, in con tinental Europe as early as! 800 AT D.; when it was played in France and some of the outly ing margraves. . - ! i : ' . " -; . . Football is believed to have existed . among the ancient . Per sians. In this game, thousands of contestants sometimes; took part and many balls were i pot into' play .at 'the .same time, the idea being to get the ball, made of light wood or goat ' skin, across' the opponent's goal line. Baseball has had so many, an cestors that it Is hard to trace it, bot it is -generally agreed that It is he outgrowth of the game of .

Hurrah for our home soldier boys! They were first in war, are' first in peace, and will al ways be first in the hearts of j the people of Oregon.

They are rarin' to go. The people of Cuba bought from j tne united states last year sup plies amounting to $41.38 fper capita. We sold to the 5,000,000 people of Cuba as much as we sold to the 40,000,000 people of France. : If the people of South and Central America bought half as much per capita as the Cubans buy from the United States an nually, our people might forget the markets of Europe. They would i not need any customers there. Our " surplus products would all be taken. And the South and Central ; American markets could be developed to .that extent, in the same ; way the Cuban mar kets for American ' i goods have been developedby the use of American leadership and ' capital in those countries. This is being done, and , fair,, progress is being made. But not nearly as great progress as ought to be made. The Cuban per capita purchases from the United States in 1900 were $17.69, and in 1910 they were but $26.43. i ... Foiev'a Honev and Tar. the larg- tures were made to our own de- . 7.

" She had a chance to get it during the Taft administration. The United States offered it, and Canada re fused if. ' The leaders offthat country now see that the men in charge at that time made a griev ous mistake; that the reciprocity offered would have been of great advantage to Canada. But at this time the people of the United States are not at all disposed to make another offer of the kind. Canada ' lost her chance, and it will' not come again for a long, long time, if ever. .

THE COMMUNITY CHEST Some facts have been garnered concerning the application of the community chest idea to 130 Am erican cities. The larger munici palities making the experiment are Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland and San Francisco. The biggest chest is in Cleveland. It contains $4,250,000-and will care for all the city's charities for more than a year. The Fnlladenhia collec tion was 17,600.000, which is un dersized for - a - city of -nearly . 2,- 000,000 inhabitants. , ; The San Francisco chest contains over 12,- 000)000. i In a general way the community - chest is supposed to tafcte care ot the philanthropies of I the community for a year. It does away with all the drives and char ity campaigns which call for so much time and effort on the part of the individual. The fund is administered by a group of rep-J resentauve men and women and tne aiBiriDuuon is maae arter a full 'showing of the needs ot any special charity is had and an in vestigation is made. Naturally, it Is hard for frauds to get by. It Is claimed, by those who favor the plan that the ..worthy benev olences receive more support than under the eld plan of personal so licitation.'
