for itself:
To The Free Press: Some time ago
Waterville posted a challenge in The
Free Press and asked Madison Lake
to put up $lOe which we covered
for ball game to be played on
neutral grounds. The challenge grew
out of report of the game between
Waterville and Madison Lake of Sun
day, Aug. 20, sent to The Free Press
by Madison Lake representatives.
The side bets being deposited with
responsible parties, it was up to the
two towns to arrange for the games.
Accordingly the Waterville Baseball
association sent representatives to
Madison Lake for that purpose. Madi-
son Lake absolutely refused to play
us for side bet of 500 if we
played the same lineup that we played
against them on Aug. 25, when they
beat us 5 to 4. They would not ar
range with us unless we took out
one of the best men we had in the
lineup. We were willing to risk a
purse of 500 and play the same team.

they would not play unless we weak.

sentatives offered to allow them to
put in two new men in their lineup
to take the place Of two "sticks," a.
they called them. Still we could not

BUY HERE. HELP YOURSELF

R UY in Wilmington and you benefit your
~ self This is a self evident fact and yet how
many people, residents OF the city. give It but
little thought The Board OF Trade hes started
a crusade to stir up civic pride in Wilmington, to
advance the prosperity OF the city and TO inter-
est all residents of Wilmington in their welfare.
The Board has the hearty cooperation OF the mer-
chants of Wilmington. Already the effects of
the movement are evident and we believe much
good will be accomplished. Wilmington has
great industries employing thousands OF men.
II is located in fertile agricultural country of
which it is the natural center 1t has large and
growing stores. In the many improvements for
which Wilmington has been noted the increase
and style and size Of the stores must be recog-
nized as among the most noticeable
Now it is natural that if the city is to be aided,
as many as possible Of the thousands of dollars
that are weekly spent here should find their way
to the tills of the local merchants II this money
stays at home it will be used for home improve
ments and benefit II it is sent away the money
is lost to Wilmington forever
Consider two countries II one country gets
all the trade from the other and gives little in
return. one Of the nations is soon impoverished
by such trade So money spent away from home
is a constant loss to the home. A dollar that
goes to your local barber. baker or candlestck
maker, circulates in Wilmington. And yet how
many dollars that are earned in Wilmington fly
from the town They don't come back If
we are to have better streets, more improve
ments new buildings, nothing can SO assist in
maintaining them so well as the expenditure of
money right here.
Here is an opportunity for practical patriotism.
Your first duty is to your home. BE practical
patriot. Stop growing about Wilmington. DO
your own part 10 help your city Spend your
money here and the difference will soon be seen.
Don't let Wilmington be mere suburban place.
Wilmington is the metropolis OF state. Con
slider yourself as the resident of a state and not
merely an appendage of another big city or
another state. Look at the question in common
sense manner Help Wilmington in a way that
counts. Money going into the Golfers OF Viii
mington tradespeople counts.
