OUR BALL TEAM IS
RUDtLY TREATED
And SO the Boys Got Real Mad And
Refused to Win the Game From
Brunswick Saturday.

Those brasqne and brawny Bruins

want the mean things to distinctly un.
derstand that they haven't the FAINT.

laws OF hospitality
When that rude bunch comes 10 Mar

them with open arms. feed them on
l'pnH tea and angel cake. escort them
With all due ceremony to our nice lit
tie bail park. and then gaciously and
hos pitably allow them TO lam us be-
tween the fourth and fifth ribs and
walk off with the game.
But does that outfit OF hill-cli-nbers
from Brunswick believe in reciproci-
tys Nary a reciprocl Do they believe
in treating the strangers within their
classic precincts with courtesy and
hospitality? Not by a burned sight!
Our base ball boys went down there
Saturday TO indulge in nice. quiet
little game with the hopper beavers,
sud the ong-busted OUTFIT of husky
guys didn't do thing but throw the
| harpoon into us to the tune OF sewing
to three. Now what do yu think OF
tnat for reciprocity and hospitality?
An the worst thing about the whole
dod-ratted business was the rude and

they treated our new pitcher, yclept

John has been putting up corking
fine game on third fer our boys. and
only recently trimmed that Shepherds

cold feet and quit the league. SO
John decided that he wits about due to

and lambasted his innoffensiye and
perfectly decorous OFFERINGS for elev-
ing hits, including two home runs and
three three-baee wallops. Thereupon
lour boys became grossly offended and
refused to win the game.
But the game was good one, at
that. Our boys did some hitting too,
but the Brunswick lads fielded sharply
and we were forced to eann all our
ITALICS. We only made one error, and
forced Brunswick TO earn six OF their
runs. Aside from the batting OF Tai

are on the market number of what
are called Syndscte Advertising Ser
vices. These can be obtained for as
low as one dollar per week. They
give you precisely the same service as
is given to department stores and ma
tioDal advertisers by first-class indi-
vidual advertising managers. These
services are usually supplied in a SER
les of fifty-two advertisements. one for
each week in the year, together with
fifty-two copperplate cuts of high
grade Illustrations drawn by high sal
RED artists. The advertisements are
constructed by writers of national rep
utation and with great experience,
men who have made success for thous-
ands of other retailers in the same
position as yourself. The low price
charged for these advertisements is
only made possible because of thous-
ands OF the same advertisement that
are sold to different merchants
throughout the country. One only
merchant in each town is allowed to
use the service for his own trade.
Particulars of the best of these syn

have refused to write policies for
more than one year on mercantile
structures. All of the companies
have been writing policies on dwell
ings for three years for a total pre-
MUM of double that charged for one
year.
Recently some of the non-board
companies have been offering insur-
ance on the three for two plan on
brick buildings, notably in Seattle,
and after a discussion of the stu

Under the new rule where the
rate on a building is say $l.20 per

carried the owner now gets 500 in
surance for three years for $40,
which would be at the rate of so

auctions and will write insurance for
five years at three times one annual
