Good Goods, Well Advertised.

sGoing the rounds of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking
Powder company is the largest adver-
tiser in America. OF course, the bust
ness itself must be an enormous one
to justify so great an expenditure in
publicity. There is no fallacy more
dangerous than that success can be
gained by advertising an article of in
different merit. But, given an ar
ticle of the highest quality like Royal
Baking Powder, which when the
housekeeper has once nsed she finds
if she desires the best food she cannot
do without, then the greatest measure
of success is attained by keeping it
continuously before the public Great
ment and good advertising are both
essential to make a product a great
success. The Royal Baking Powder
possessing the first, its proprietors
have wisely used the second, and the
result is apparent throughout the
land The Royal company believes
that there is no medium for advertis-
ing like the newspapers, since in these
enhg htened days everybody reads
them.

THE WHEELMEN.
They w IL Ask the Legislature for High
way Commission.

Mr.. Clarence W. Small. tn e newly
elected consul of the Maine Division of
the League of American Wheelmen, like
ali successful candidates for office. has
been kept busy in the few days following
the batJle of the ballots in receiving con-
CALCULATIONS. Mr.. Small says that there
Is good deal of work about the place
to which he has just been chosen. AS Mr..
Small has the reputation Of being Q
hustler it is not likely that the work Will
be neglected. Among the other things
which will receive attention from the
offio of the Maine league during the
coming months is the good roads CUES
ton. This winter a proposition Will be
submitted to thu Maine legislators Tor
the creation of a highway commission, TO
oversee the construction OF better roads
than those which now wind through the
rural districts of the Pine Tree State.
The question has been agitated in the
halls of legisla ton during previous ses-
sions but nothing has ever come OF IL, the
expense involved in any plan hitherto
presented having been bar TO its sue
cess. Now the wbeelmen have nit upon
a plan which has been in successful opera
ton in other states. They will probably
ask for the creation of n commission ana
the appropriation of a sum BY the State
to be expended on the roads. This money
whether it be Of large or small amount
would be expended in connection With
money appropriated by the towns and
counties. For instance, II q town agreed
to expend certain sum to tix up piece
Of road, and the county agreed to bear
sh are OF the expense of the work, then
the balance of the money would be taken
from the State fund as long as that held
out, the highway commission, of course,
having discretionary power rs to where
the money should be spent If the de-
mands for it exceeded the amount OF the
APPROXIMATION. These are the main feat
ures of q system tried with success in
other States. The law defines what the
towns must 90 themselves, without. aid,
as under the present system in this State.
Then it provides that the State may help
in further improvements in tae way out
lined, The argument used by the adyo-
cafes of the system is that is distributes
the burden OF maintaining roads which
are used by the, general public more
generally, perhaps, than by the people OF
Ihe towns through which they extend.
In Massachusetts aud Pennsylvania a
great deal Of work has been done In the
construction OF State highways and large
sums have been expended on them. Inc
Maine wheelmen do not expect that the
work in this State will be begun in a very
extensive way and 1t is urged that by the
plan mentioned, even II The legislature
should make only atsaiopproprin3 mall
it could be expended wisely in co-opera-
ton with the town.
The wheelmen know that suoh a propo-
sition must necessarily meet with opposi-
ton and for that reason they are prepared
to urge it with all the more vigor.
Whether they succeed or not they will be
on hand to give the Legislators their views
on the good roads question.

thus far, Yale had been unable to stop
the terrific advances of Dibblee, Warren
and Daily, until Harvard once more had
the ball on Yale's three yard line. Here
for the first time in the game the Blue
displayed the traditional brace in the
last ditch and actually held their oppo-
nents for four downs. took the ball and
kicked out Of danger A short time later
the first half ended with the SCORE Har-
ward IL, Yale O. and the west grandstand
proceeded to go wild.
The intermission found the Cambridge
PLAYERS strong and confident. For the
Yale men that recess was serious period.
Their quarters were thronged by old
graduates and the eleven received probably
he seyerest lecture ever administered to a
Yale team.
After ten minutes rest the two elevens
trot.ed to the field again, both sides APP
uarently fresh. Harvard kicked of and
after an exchange of punts Yale for the
first time In the game played football
which might be said to approach the Yale
standard. The New Haven men walked
80 yards down the field by steady plunges
| only to lose on tumble. A little later
the team took another brace and made
about 20 yards. but could not last and
Harvard took the sphere on downs and
proceeded to keep the play in YaIe's terri
tory during the rest of the game. Twenty
four minutes of the half had been played
before Harvards superiority got into
scoring shape and at 3.45 the Crimson
easily pushed Yale over the line for the
third and last touchdown of the game A
goal was kicked and ten minutes later
the game ended and Harvard had won by
the score Of II to 0.
| At the close of the great contest the
spectators witnessed scene the like of
which has never been presented in New
Haven. The Harvard band marched
about the gridiron followed by hundreds
Of Harvard men. At the conclusion OF
the triumphal march the band was sur
rounded by several thousand Harvard
graduates and undergraduates with their
! lady friends; all uncovered and with all
the enthusiasm to be expected upon q
victory over Yale for the second time
since 1875 the throng burst forth into the
refrain OF "Fair Harvard.
Hats and banners were thrown reckless
ly to the winds and the celebration of the
| Cambridge followers continued until the
last OF them had left Yale and New Haven
behind.
