A Familiar EaIsehOOd.

When customer seeks to purchase some
well known, widely advertised, standard
article. and the dealer tries to sell him
something else. claiming the offered sub
stitute to be lust as good" that dealer
is guilty OF fragrant falsehood.
II the substitute were just as good It
would sell on its own merits and would
be called for by customers instead OF hav-
Ing to be unloaded upon them by means
of fasehood and deceit.
The very fact Of the comparison "just as
good" proves the claim to be untrue. We
measure up, not down. We measure the
less by the greater, not the greater by
the less When. therefore, some unknown
or little known article is ranged up for
measurement by we'll known standard
article, the very fact of such measurement
and comparison. stamps the substitute as
a lesser thing than the standard article
with which 1t is compared.
But this is only half the truth. BY this
we prove the claim lust as good" to be a
falsehood, but the extent OF that false
hood 1t Is impossible to estimate. Gust
as good" means, in general, adulteration in
place OF purity, an uncertain quality in
stead Of a certain quality, cheap material
instead OF good material. And beyond all
this the adulterants may be not simply
make weights AMI cheats, but In, some cases
may be dangerous poisons.
When the dealer says lust as good" ask
yourself Just as good" for whom? You
will find in the answer to that question
the motive of substitution, which is the
extra profit paid the dealer by the sale
of the substitutes and limitations OF stand
ard wares. Practically the dealer says.
when practicing the gentle art of substltu.
tlon. This is Just as good for you. be-
cause II is a great deal more profitable for
me, and anything is good enough for you
which increases my profits"

contests. together with brief spell of
cold weather, helped to bring the popularity

There has been hardly an evening when the
alleys in the different parts of the city
have not been overcrowded from dusk until
closing time Such devotion to the game
could scarcely have any other effect than
and bettering Of marks which were sup
posed to be about as good as 1t lay in the
ability of local talent to create.

Lentz q Williams with a run of 247 King

sons with score Of single point less.
On the same alleys C. Conrad established
new figures in seven n-down. scoring nine
points out of a possible ten. Herman

Four sets of games were contested dur
ing the week. although the earlier ones
were not held according to the league
schedule. The match between the Clark

ENDING OF THE QUAIL SEASON
Omaha Hunters Did Not Go Out in
Great Numbers md Had hut
Scant Luck.

The winding up Of the quail season dur
ing the holidays furnished full bags for a
very few OF the local hunters. as the cold
weather and the reports of scanty game
kept good many spo:tsmen at home. A
hunting party or two in the vicinity of
Clarks and Columbus are the only ono s
which had success enough to tell about It..
w. ]. Fawcett and S. G. " Griswold made
a short trip to Clarks, where, In company
with Sam Richmond, who has a reputation
along the Platte as goose hunter, they
bagged few quail and got caught in q

It is absolutely necessary that settle
ment be reached soon, for the opening OF
the season is only some three months off
and all the preparations in the new towns
must be made. Leases for grounds cannot
be signed until the magnates are exactly
certain OF what they are going to do, and
this, II no other reason, is sufficient 10
require an immediate adjustment of differ
ences and a settlement Of circuit rights.
Engagement OF players, too is feature
which will not admit of much longer delay.
So it would seem that the proposition to
split the pot will not be much longer de-

Memphis is the Mecca toward which the
fighters are directing their ways now. No
shut down OF the game has as yet been
accomplished in that city, and the smaller

great numbers. OF course Memphis is not
large enough to ever permit the pulling
off of any big championship matches, where
the gate receipts must needs run up into
the thousands OF dollars in order to make
the affair a success, but so long as the

never bought but one gold brick in his life
and that was several seasons ago. He has
