The state land board has been sim
gllarly successful In securing high
prices for the state lands. The state

While the state administration is anx.
ious to dispose of the lands to en-.

avenues OF taxation, every precaution
is taken TO guard against selling tho
land at less than Its actual value. The
records of recent sales show that the
land disposed Of has brought higher

Money received from the sale OF

TRAGEDY ON A BANK NOTE
Bitter Words Found Written on DOL

to a one-dollar bifl hung in frame

On the bank note in red ink was

WHAT IS PAINrr

The paint on house is the extreme
outside of the house. The wood is
simply structural under layer. That
is as 1t should be. Unprotected wood
will not well Withstand weather. But
paint made of pure white lead and
linseed oil is an invulnerable armor
against sun and rain, heat and cold.
Such paint protects and preserves,
fortifying the perishable wood with a
complete metallic casing.
And the outside of the house is the
looks Of the house. A well-construct-
ed building may be greatly depre-
ciated by lack Of painting or by poor
painting.
National Lead Company have made
1t possible for every building owner
to be absolutely sure Of pure white
lead paint before applying. They do
this by putting upon every package
Of their white lead their Dutch Boy

an exhibit. which visitors to Denver

the proposition.

its members and to all the commercial
organizations Of the state asking them
to signify whether they desired to
help in getting up such an exhibit
Numerous replies were received. prac-

.SPALD|NGS BEATEN SUNDAY
Pulse Pitches Games on Sunday and
Monday and With Gilt Edge Support
Puts Both Games Away as Victories
for the Kenosha Team.

Kenosha base ball fans had their fill
Of base ball victories on Sunday and
Monday as Sunday afternoon the Keno
sha team defeated their old rivals the
Spaldings Of Chicago by score Of 3
to l and on Monday afternoon they
gave the Waukegan team an awful
bump to the tune of to 4. Both
games were star contests from the
standpoint of the Kenosha fans.
Great interest centered about the
game on Sunday on account of the fact
that it was the last of the Waukegan
series. The Kenosha team went down
to Waukegan looking for blood and
they got it. Incidentally the big bunch
of fans that went down to Waukegan
brought back something besides blood.
MI. and Mrs. w. T. Marlatt and
children returned home Monday after
short visit with relatives at Corners
vile, Ind.
1t was the best game of the series
played with Waukegan and notwith-
standing the fact that Pulse had pitch
ed the hard game against the Spaldings
on Sunday he. went back in the box
on Monday and allowed Waukegan but
two hits. The local players wobbled
bit now and then in the Monday
game and the Waukegan players man
aged to take advantage of the errors
made by the Kenosha team to such an
extent that they slipped in three in one
inning. In the meantime the Kenosha
players touched up Regain, the star
Waukegan twirler for total Of fifteen
hits and most of the runs made by the
Kenosha team were earned. Stellman
led the batting bee with a total Of four
hits and King, Foster and Lang fat
tened up their batting average for the
season by getting two hits each For
five innings it looked as if the Wauke-
gan team would take the final game of
the series but in the last two innings
the Kenosha boys came up with burst
of speed and batted in four runs and
the game.
The score follows:

Spaldings Make Good Fight

The game with the Spaldings on Sun.
day was one Of the best seen in Keno
sha this season 1t was the first ap-
pearance of the Spaldings in Kenosha
in several years and the fans gave the
visitors great welcome. Burton, the
star of the Chicago team was given
great welcome by the Kenosha fans
and he was the feature of the game
SO far as the visitors was concerned.
The Kenosha boys hit Brosius hard
in one or two innings, but the errors
of the Spaldings contributed a lot
toward the run making of the local
team. The Spaldings should have been
shut out and had it not been for a wild
throw by Collins the run for the Spald-
ings would have never been scored.
Pulse was in great form and struck out
nine men. The Kenosha boys were a
little shy on base running or the score
would have been larger. In a single
inning they touched up Brosius for FIVE
hits, but this fusillade Of batting only
Melted one run.
Stellman clouted the ball hard for
the locals and Collins was close behind
him in the hitting. One of the features
Hof the game was the running catch by
Convey il center field.
The score of the game follows:
