Business of Shuddering.
U E shudder with apprehension
after lamping the results of
Sunday's contests. The Rourkes

Brandeis and Sioux City takes the
semi-pros to a terrible drubbing.
Then to make it worse Camp Dodge
jumps all over Jackson's pets. Were
it not Jljat spring is a cagey cuss who
delights in handing out the back
handed wallops we would begin to
hedge on our bets.
Fred Mitchell's Pleasure.
P RED Mitchell, manager of the

must remember, Mitchell's real name
is Fred Yapp.
Jom Sharkey, Brfike, Now
Toils for Five Bucks Day
Tom Sharkey, internationally fam
ous as the tightest-fisted warrior that
ever hopped into a ring, is "broke"
and working in a munition planf for
$5 a day.
The sailor gathered in at least $200,
000 through the medium of his many
ring battles, but all of it is gone. And
that is a strange statement to make
concerning Sharkey. All along he was
regarded as a miser, as a man who
never let loose a dollar once it came
within his grasp. But Sharkey's great
fortune has evaporated. Why? Un
fortunate business ventures that's
one reason. The other is horses.
And now Tom, who used to earn
$5,000, $10,000 and $20,000 for one
night's riing work, is an armed guard
in New Jersey $5 a day and no
chance for advancement.

A TWO AND A HALF CENT PIECE
'Calls Are Insistent . For Intermediate
Coin Between the Penny and the Nickel
NEEDED IN BUSINESS WORLD
As a result of insistent demands for
thrift in home and national economies!
the need is being felt for an interme
diate coin between the penny and the
nickel, to make mot;e equitable for all
purposes of trade the measuring
power of our monetary "yard stick."
Business men and their patrons are
aware of this, they say, in all their
daily transactions, for prices are on
the rise continuously because of in
creased demand for money and com
modities. A tremendous volume of the daily
business transactions of Omaha is
done in articles whose retail value will
approximate S or 10 cents.
' A spool of thread, a paper of pins,
a bottle of ink, a carton of hairpins, a
box of crackers; in fact, illustrations
could be quoted indefinitely, where
three years ago the popular price, was
a nickel, and now many of these ar
ticles have advanced to a dime and IS
cents.
"Take the small-sized bottle of ink
as a typical case," said a prominent
business man.7 Formerly the retail
dealer bought it at 3 cents and sold
it for S cents, thus making a profit of
2 cents, or 662-3 per cent Then the
price was raised and the retailer paid
5 cents each. He, in turn, sold it to
the consumer at 10 cents. Jlis new
profit is 5 cents, or 100 per cent."

ROURKES BATTLE
FORT CROOK TWO
GAMESTHIS WEEK
Western Leaguers to Play
Forty-First Infantry Team
Wednesday and Saturday;
Brandeis Again Sunday j
Three more exhibition games have
been scheduled by the Rourkes.
Wednesday, and Saturday of this
week. Bill Jackson's pets will tackle
the 41st infantry team from Fort
Crook. Sunday, they will play the
Brandeis stores crew again.
The Rourkes were carded to battle
the Fort Crook lads last Sunday, but
snow storms are not conductive to
good base ball, so the fracas was
called off. Games will be played to
morrow and Saturday, however, pro
viding the weather man consents.
The Rourke hopes to get revenge
on the Fort Crookers. They have
nothing against the. Fort Crookers,
but tbey are a little put out over
the walloping they received at the
hands of Camp Dodge Sunday. So
Fort Crook is going to suffer, say
they, for the doings of their brothers
in-jirms from Camp Dodge.
Rourkes Lose Miller.
The Camp Dodge team which
played Omaha Sunday soon will be
strengthened by the arrival of an
athlete Pa Rourke hoped to get for
his Rourke club. He is Bing Miller,
outfielder.
Rourke had It all fixed with
Detroit for Miller to come to Omaha.
Bing is a slugger of the 300 variety
and 'tis said he hits 'em a mile. Then
the.draft stepped in and Camp Dodge
gets Bing instead of Omaha. The
Camp Dodge team also 5s to get
Caruso Fred Beck this month. It
will be quite a ball club yet.

Orpheum Monday waa distinctly "so

return from musical comedy to the fold of
the two-a-day and both Mr. Hyams and
Misa Mclntyr expressed pleasure in being
back in vaudeville for a season, "May

business man would have given the
retail price at 7 cents, and the pur
chaser pay for the article with a
nickel and a 2J4 cent coin. -
When the republic was young and
the money per capita an almost neg
ligible quantity, the importance of
subsidiary coins of small denomina
tion was impressive. The bulk of the
business of the country was done with
"chicken feed." There were pennies,
2-cent and 3-cent pieces and this con
dition continued until long after the
civil war, when the 2 and 3-cent coins
were discontinued. With the growth
of the prosperity of the west there
was a contempt for apy coin smaller
than 25 cents, which was the standard
for drink9 and other popular articles
of demand. The growth of business
and social conservatism finally
brought the dime and the nickel west
of the Mississippi river, but an al
most revolutionary condition pre
vailed when the penny was introduced
and accepted. The latter coin, be
cause of revenue tax Imposts, has now
become a very valuable factor in the
transactions of daily business.
The increasing burden of costs,
which affects every man, impresses"
him subconsciously, if not consciously,
with" the fact that the government
would do a wise thing if it would is
sue a 2Y, cent coin to help bear the
load of living cost increases.
