Dear Sirs-Clear pine and pine full of
called pine
Clear paint and paint adulterated with
whiting, chinaclay, ground stone, barytes,
benzlne and water. are different things they
are both called paint"
1t takes less labor to work clear pine than
pine knots, and costs less money,
1t takes less labor to paint clear paint than
half-whlting or half Chna-clay or half
ground stone or half barytes These mix
lures make more gallons, not more pant.
There's no more milk in two quarts of milk
and-water than in one quart of milk. If
you paint two gallons for one You pay
double for labor and labor costs more than
paint.
You know how it is with clear lum Der and
knots. It's the same with all paint and
halfpalnt.
Apply it to business. Suppose you have
two houses, same size paint one DevOe, the
other the other prominent paint i'll your
town.
1t takes 10 gallons Devoe Sl7s a gallon
$3.50 for paint So a gallon for labor $50
for labor; whole job, $3.50
1t takes 10 gallons of that other paint
same price, S26.25 for paint; So gallon for
labor Si5 for labor: whole job S7l25.
And which wears best, clear pine or pine
knots? Devoe wears better than that weak
paint.
What warrant is there for saying that
paint is weak? 1t takes more gallons.
Yours truly,
f. w. DENOE x Co.

lone of the very best games ever
played i'll this neck of woods was
pulled off in Meyersdale, Pa, last Satur-
day, Frostburg winning by the narrow
margin of 2 to 1. 1t was sure enough
contest, replete with many good plays
on both sides, and it was either's game
until the very last man was out in the
ninth inning.
81. f. F., which, elaborated, means
Finn was the Finger for Frostburg, and
was in excellent form.
&c. c., which, interpreted, means
Carroll was the Catcher, and so far it
was the game of his life. Once he broke
through the crowd for foul fly and got
it by an eye-lash limitation, winning and
obtaining great applause from both the
grand stand and bleachers.
''Sloan was on the initial bag and
played we'll.
'Salb at short, was i'll the game in
dead earnest, both in the field and at the
bat. His two-base hit produced the two
runs, and his catch of McKenZie's line
drive, the last man in the ninth, was the
spectacular stunt which put the gUjet,,s
upon Meyersdale's last hope.
jenkins played third i'll good style.
1.-The old War-hOrSe, Fat BrOphy, cap
tanned the team, played out-tield, and his
great wallop for two bases brought Salb
home with the first tally. He scored
later on Hines single to right field.
Hines and Hoban played the out
field, accepting every chance. The for
mer excelled at the bat, leading the team
in that vital department.
"For the Pennsylvanians Pollard did
the pitch act, and 'Skeets' Mckenzie the
patchwork. Both were i'll good shape
and played finely.
Davis at third and Kennedy at first
win special mention, as their playing
was a big feature.
"'PiXey' Williams, a veteran, we'll
known to all Frostburg is captain and
second baseman, and playing good ball.
CDR, Milne umpired impartially.

"Meyersdale always gives our boys a
great welcome. The crowd was big and
every class-l play was generously and
unanimously applauded,
COMING EVENTS
"Meyersdale will be here for the re-
turn game Wednesday, llth inst.
midland will be here to-day (Satur-
day at p. III. Ground in proper con-
dition and game will be good.
"Rodgers is expected to return to the
home-team ranks to-day. When Leo is
fin the running he is the kid that is all
handy in baseball.
Negotiations with the East Pittsburg
(Turtle Creek team for a series here
Saturday and Monday, September and
6-latter is Labor Day" are pending
One game Saturday, two Monday. This
is known to be great team, and if sat
isfactory encouragement is awarded the
local management it will be here as
stated. In which event look out for
some memorable base ball.
Finn and Sloan will play in Everett,
Pa, Monday, 9th inst, with the team of
that place against the Huntingdon club.
Hope they may do the winning act for
Everett.
The team and hackers Of the county
seat are but hazy remembrance. The
great national game down there is de-
ceased failure. They seemed to put too
much stress upon the money-nOt the
sport. Too bad The crowd down there
loses sight of the real good a competent
ball team does a city. Let us hope that
the great Cumberland-coal city will soon
get some good men interested and main

Done Up in Awful Rhyme.

| There is a man who wants to be Sheriff
loyal party man always;
He lives Ill the grand old town of FrOstburg,
And his full name is GEORGE A. MAYS.
Another wants to be Commissioner
Reflect, which is doubly nice;
He lives in peaceful Mount Savage
And his signature lS-C. ADAM Hoe.
There is race, too, for Road Director
One between "siXes and seVcns; ~
But good candidate lives in FroStburg
His name? 1t is II. &. EVANS
A Cumberlander would be Senator
But, as SCotChrEen say-"not wullen'
| To belong to any corporation
To no one but II. T. MULLIN.
Speaking of Scotch, what's the matter with
HCGH-
strong man, with never a fear
OF a duty in office of Sheriff
That cant be fulhlrd by SEER?
Again for Commissioner there's a name
Not for show, nor a mere filler;
But business name, and a tried one.
Need we Say-it'S ID. Z. MILLER?
| doctors needed in the Senate
If legislation, like the roads,
Needs medicine, then TIMOTHY GRIFFITH
VIII rejuvenatc all the codes.
Cumberland has another candidate
For CommlssiOner-onCe merry
Now buSneSs-lke and busy
As a bee-his names FRED. PERRY.
A bread-maker for the House of Delegates :?
Why not? The staff of life" should rise
In lawmaking, and WALTER w. WITTIG
Will watch it with unsleeping eyes.
Now appears Cumberland with one offer
Whose name is on every tongue
For Commissioner name loved
Always by all of the ladcs-it's NouNG.
Back to Frostburg once more-probablv last
Not least, for Commissioner too,
And see JOHN G.. MERREACII-a safe good
OF modern enterpriSng view.
But if Cumberland must have the Sheriff
And all that the office implies,
Why not JOHN n. FRANTZ-not SO large
In physique but good for his size?
And to save good old AIlegany from
A worse than selfish party SnarI
Like BaltimOre'S greed for control of State,
Elect to the House FRANK LEE CARL
BE sure to vote for JOIN L. WELLINGTON
And for ANGUS IRELAND, too
Are injunctions needless. for neither hath
An aspiring rival in view.
For the House of Delegates, " writes Mr.
JAMES CAMPBELL, Jr., name me- too,
And. like my father, I'll serve the people,
As once before surely true blue"
But any candidate named above for Sheriff
Should watch a democrat-one not a myth,
Who is looking for that very same otlice-a
Hustler by the immortal name of SMITH.

town on electromagnetic. The dis
lance is | 1 miles, and the managers say
they save time and haul more lumber at

was brought to DR.. A. r. Walkers new
site. On ordinary roads 5000 feet is
possible, and over the new pike, when
built, a load of 10000 feet will be easy.

America. The cultivated nutmeg
tree is from fifty TO seventy-fve
feet high and produces fruit for
sixty years. The fruit is of the
