GOOD WEATHER
FOR CAMPING

The present season has been a great
season for campers on the banks of the
upper Brandywine. There have been
a good many more campers there than
usual, and the weather has been well
nigh perfect for living in the woods.
The seasons dryness has not unpleas-
antly affected the campers along the
creek for the springs from which they
get the drinking water have been well
protected, and the supply has not fail
ed The sunshine has made the woods
dry and while there has been an over
abundance Of mosquitoes and bugs, the
campers have very quickly learned to
protect themselves against these
things. This season has been in strong
contrast with last season, when the
lack Of sunshine made the woods damp
and a very dreary place in which to
live. If the popularity Of the place con-
tlnues, IT will not be many years be-
fore people begin building summer
homes along the creek.

Moser allowed but six hits and but one

The game started with Wolfe opposing
Moser upon the rubber. Moser was right
and there was never moment when the
opponents were not at his mercy. while
Wolfe was hit hard from the outset. In
the second inning the locals went at him
hot-footed. Moran, the first batter, drew
a base on balls and Gilbert, the next man,
bunted and was safe when Sullivan threw
badly 10 second base to catch Moran.
Strobel, the next batter, received one of
Wolfe's benders in his ribs and the bases
were filed. Then Poole who was in tlse

M
DOUBLE PRICE FOR
COTTON THREAD
British Housewives Get Twice
as Much for Money as
Americans

The recent advance in the retail
price Of ordinary grades of sewing cot
ton from to 6 cents a spool. which
was put into effect by the Thread
Trust in this country and Great Bri-
tain, emphasizes the apparent discrep-
ancy in the values which housewives
here receive In comparison with those
given 70 their English cousins by the
two British companies, which virtually
control the manufacture and sale of
thread in all parts of the world. Com
parison between the sizes Of the spools
sold in this country and abroad at the
same price tell the story
British customers of the trust pay
cents for a spool containing 200
yards. For the same spool here 6
cents is charged-yet the tariff duty
amounts to only one cent on every
200 yards. In other words, the Scent
spool in Great Britain contains twice
as much thread as the scent spool
here, and the additional price paid in
this country is three times the duty.
Blame for this condition is wholly
laid at the doors Of the so-called trust,
since the assertions of the thread max
ers that the raw material costs more
in this country than in Great Britain
is easily disproven. The world has free
trade i'm cotton and the raw material for
cotton thread is delivered at mills in
England and in this country at vir-
tually the same price.
