Battle Axe Boys
ss to Play Grays

What should be one of the prettiest
games this season is scheduled to take
place at Broad street park, July 4th,
at 1890 O'Clock, when the Battle Axe
and Richmond Grays clash for the
third time this season.
The Battle Axe started out badly
this season, but has now fallen into
It's stride and can be considered as
fordiable opponents of any anna
teur or sen1i- professional team this
city has boosted, while the playing
of the Grays has been of the most
spectacular nature
The first meeting of these teams
on April 18Th resulted in the score or
4-3 in favor of the GIays. while their
second clash. ON May 18th. was won
by the hattie Axe, after eleven in
nines by the score of q 10 D.
There is intense rivalry between these
two contenders for championship non
.prs in the. Capital City league and any
one making the journey to see TINS
game should be amply repaid by
the class Of ball these two teams are
capable of playing.
Ladies will be- admitted free.
The teams will probably lineup as
follows
Battle Axe-Hay, c.; Whitfield, p;

SAVING MONEY.
"A Dollar a Week Put Into the Bank 10

: "A Dollar Week Put Into the Bank 10
Good Investment.
1T is mighty hard" said an unfortu-
nate workingman some time ago to the
writer, Ito save up thousand dollars
by laying aside dollar or two a week
sand then to take it out of the savings
/ bank and lose it to get rich quick
Eewindler. as / have just done" The
poor fellow could work and save. but
he had not had even a kindergarten
educat ton in finance. else his story
would have been different. He had
never given a thought to interest and
so was absolutely ignorant Of growth
through compound interest and. of
course, had never heard Of that Won
derful process of accumulation known
as progressive compound interest"
One dollar deposited in a savings
bank that pays per cent will amount
20 $2.19 in twenty years. This is sim
pie compound interest. Now. if you
deposit 81 every year for twenty years,
or $50 in all, the sum to your credit
will have grown to S30.97.
Any wage Garner can put by 81 a
week. That money deposited in saw
ings bank for twenty years will have
increased to $1,612. A deposit Of SIS a
week will have grown to $4,000. and
this at per cent will be 1920 a year.

this. It is as clear as the cloudless
sun. and the method is just as clean
and honest" Herald.

members of the sex state that, while
socially he is pleasant, that profess
sionally, if it can be so termed, he is
very far from it. That he is imperti-
nent and gives them and their re-
quests and opinions scant courtesy.
The writer remembers, on the &C.
casion of the dedication of the Robert
Dale Owen memorial last Spring, that
the Governor seemed much diverted
over Mr.. Ernest Dale Owens strong
plea for the acknowledgment of wo-
men, and the amusement of some of
the leaders of the League, who sat on
the floor near the speakers stand was
evident since they regarded it as some
thing of sardonic joke thot the Gov
ernor had to sit out brilliant and
insistent statement for their cause.
On an occasion unexpected.
| Later, one or two of them took his
sartorial appurtenances as something
of an affront.
They said that the Governor should
have appeared in something more dig
nified than a sack coat and red neck
| tie.
However that may be, it is the fact
that the managers of the Franchise
League, in common parlance, literally
| wiped up the floor with the Governor
and his constitution.
They got back at. him and with a
| thousand of brick.
For all the papers sat out waiting for
| the resolutions.
AS soon as they got a copy of them
| the reporters hot-footed to their Off
ces and everywhere the fact that the
Woman's Franchise League had paid
| their disrespectS to the excellent Gov
ernor and his 'hand-made' copstitu-
ton was headlined on the front pages.
To make a bad joke the Governor in
trying to be crafty proved himself
somewhat artless.
The presence and active participa-
| ton in the activities of the League by
| women of the medical profession was
marked.
| Dr. Amelia Keller, president Of the
| League, a woman of gracious person
ality and diplomatic acumen, presid-
ed over the convention with effect,
| her fine, intellectual face commanding
attention.
The strength of the faces of the wo-
men physicians was noticeable. In
| deed, the profession seeming to evolve
! a distinct type in feminine facial make
| up if it could so be put.
DR.. Mcmahon, of Lafayette, who re.
sponded to the address of welcome in
place Of the programmed visitor who
was unable to be present, was another
| fine example of this type of face and
manner.
Miss Charity Dye, one of the lead
ers in the work of the League and a
brilliant intellectual entity, was a
marked figure. Miss Dye is an educa.
tor of interstate reputation, having
| for long been on the faculty of
the Shortridge High School, and be-
ing a woman of erudition and logical
mental habit. Her learning and cul-
