EIGHT MEN TO MAKE TRIP lCnnan Player Are Anionic Mont Expert In Clan, Finishing SeeontI Year Alto, and Expect to Pnt Un Swift llnttle. AMES, la.,, Jan. 4. (Speclul.) Tuesday night Coach Hubbard nnd his first selection for a varsity squad, eight men, will go to Lawrence to show tho veteran Jayhawkcr basket ball team the stuff they aro made of. Tho Cyclonps take on Kansas university for two Bumes Wednes day and Thursday. On the following Friday and Saturday they will discuss the points of tho sumo with the Kansas Ags at Manhattan, and on Monday and Tuesday of the ensuing; week they will battlo the Missouri Timers at Columbia, then returning for a lay-off of consider able duration. While Coach Hubbard has not yet an nounced the personnel of the squad which heVvlU take on the tour southward, it Is practically certain that the eight men who ara to go shall be: Wormhoudt. Rodger. Dwell and Sweeney, forwards; Holmes, center; Captain Hansell and JIarpcl, guards, and either Kellcy or I'orterfield ua tho extra man. Kclley has been showing' very favorably as a guard and Porterfield is strong at the baskets, making a hard- and difficult-to-settle fight for tho opportunity to make tho trip. Kclley got some scholastic expe rience In the basket game nt Cedar Rap ids High and I'orterfield gathered some training on the Waterloo High squad, Holmes, the Sioux City High star basket shooter, varsity foot ball lineman and exceptional prep basket ball player, hove In from Sioux City Wednesday to force n'n Issue as far as he Is concerned In the contest for the center's position. "Wednesday was his first time to show up for varsity basket ball because of a mashed hand which he had received in tho Drake-Ames foot fall combat. Tho hand Improved slowly, Insofar as being durable in the Indoor game, and it Is hardly possible that he will be able to stick it out In all of tho six games of tha tour, but if ho has to give up the floor Wormhoudt very probably will be shifted to center and one of tho sub stitutes will be given a chance at his forward. Holmes Is altltudinous and heavy, a good passer In. field work and good at shooting the spheroid. He is a very valuable man on the squad, where ho unquestionably will stay. Kansas finished the conference race In second placo last year, having lost to the Cornhuskers, who won tho confer ence championship from Kansas, Uter having beaten Ames decisively, inu, Kansas is the same quintet as last year, all tho old men being back and on the squad, which will tender a reception to the Cyclones. Counterfeit Bills Deceive Merchants; Deposited in Banks The discovery of ten counterfeit J10 bills among deposits made by business men in Omaha banks Friday and Sat urday has alarmed hank cashiers and secret service men. They expect to re ceive more of the spurious currency and fear that the city has been a harvest f.eld for green-goods men, who took nd vantago of tho New Year's holiday to make a cleanup and get awny before the fake paper money was discovered by experts. Tho Imitations are said by bank tellers and secret service agents to bo as good specimens of "phony currency as have been picked up In this territory for some time. They are counterfeits of the l'.W7 series of gold certificates, bearing the portrait of Michael Hillegas, first treas urer of the United States. The work of producing them was evidently done by tho aid of photography. A characteristic of the bills Is a yellow smudgy appear ance on tho face. Tho fake Issue Is listed in a recent gov ernment bulletin published to aid In de tecting counterfeits. According to secret service attaches, It was first discovered In Montreal, when a counterfeit money factory there was raided by the authorities.

The penalties against some of th-lr men made them behave towards the last of the contest with tho Omaha Na tional bunk last Thursday. Burkenroad of the Pirates Is still dis playing his old-time form. The way In which he tears around and makes bas kets is a good sight for sore eyes. Hughes, the star performer for the Omaha High school, Is still In a bad way. Ills condition, however, has Improved con siderably since the last few weeks and there Is a possibility of him playing dur ing the latter part of tho season. Water on the knee has been the causa of his lay-off.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG MEN in the Advertising Field By JOHN LEE MAHIN. THE great opportunities offered in the advertising field today are not so large in what is known as the advertising business, as in the introduction of advertis ing principles and , methods into ordinary every-day business. Tnko Tho Boo ns an example of a business in whioh the fundamental principles underlying nil successful adver tising effort aro developed to the highest stnto of ef ficienoy. For ono cent tho residents of Omaha have delivered to thoir homos every evening tho concrete, boiled-down re sults of a complete canvass of the wholo world by cablo and telegraph, to say nothing of tho most thorough ex position of everything that is livo and vital to tho City of Oraahn itself. This wonderful result is accomplished by co-operative buying on tho part of tho subscribers to Tho Bee. Tho fact that f50,000 readers can bo depended upon to pay one cent for The Bco onables tho publishers to accomplish every day tho wonderful achievement which tho readers of The Beo have become accustomed to regard as a mat ter of course. The real spirit of advertising is demonstrated in tho constant study and appreciation of what human naturo naturally craves or can bo educated to continually do siro on tho part of tho management of Tho Bee. There are probably 200 men In Omaha who could afford and tfould gladly pay $10 a day for the Information contained in The Beo. Ho the price, one cent, at which It Is Sold, is in no way a measure of tho valuo of tho paper, considered as n separate item. Tho adoption of advertising principles and methods of procedure) on tho part of our great manufacturers, ln the distribution of their goods, will mean a corresponding reduction in the price to the in dividual consumer. It Is the most effective solution that could ba applied to tho so-called problem of the high cost of living. The great opportunities for young men today are exactly along this line. The same fundamental principles which have made our great newspapers possible and entrenched them against competition, on the basis df giving tho largest possible service for the money, is open to a long list of separate businesses. The young men of today who will be the big men of tomorrow will study the group organizing and group serving characteristics et our daily papers and undoubtedly find through their advertising pages a blazed trail for accomplishing the same desirable resulta in the particular businesses ln which they are now engaged.
