Unfortunately, this plan, which
was conceived with the most
worthy motive to aid the, manu-
facturer and protect the dealer
from whom the article was pur-
chased was almost universally
misinterpreted by the consumer.
When he read upon the label

and Drugs Act, Serial No.
the consumer almost universally
supposed that this guarantee was
given by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
His idea was that the article in
question had been carefully ex-
anlined at the Department, found
to comply in every respect with
the requirements of the law and
that the government itself was
behind the guarantee
This phraseology later had to
be altered so that each statement
would be soWorded as to plainly
indicate that the guarantee was
the manufacturer and not the
government official. But welfnd

BEST ATTRACTIONS OF LARGE
WEEK END CARD FURNISHED
BY RIVERSIDES AND DEXTERS

Soccer, football, basketball and a
boxing stag are the attractions which
will be presented In sportdom in this
vicinity over the week end. Since
there has not been so large a calen-
dar of sports over the week end as
there Is scheduled for today and TO-
morrow. Four basketball tussles,
three football battles, one boxing stag
and two socce matches-al1 carded
to be staged over the week end.
The feature attraction in today's
bill of fare is the game between the
Riversides and the Christ Church Ca
diets on the Auditorium court. With
two victories chalked up in their IA
yor out of the same number of games
with the speedy "Rivies," the New
Brighton boys will try to hang it on
to the locals for the third defeat at
their hands. Johnny McCreery's clan
of tossers have shown much improve
ment this season over the form dis
played last year and promise to make
the Staten Island boys go much fast
er tonight than they did last year
Nu6H tASy opPooSu thO ioSH'
on the Auditorium court. AS the
Christ church crew claim to be the
champions of Staten Island, a victory
will put the Riversides in a favorable
position.
The Dexters seem to have the deci-
sion for the best event in tomorrow's
calendar. American A. A. vs.. Dex-
tiers on the copper works gridiron
crew is their offering to the sporting
p%opulace. With several of their mem
bers on the hospital list, the locals
have great fears of being scored on.
1t would be unjust to the boys to
have a defeat, if one is registered, to
be recorded against the Dexters IN
less at least nine regulars are in the
game. 1t Is understood that several
who have not played with the local
eleven this year will be seen in &C
ton with Brogger's squad tomorrow
afternoon. AS the Americans are a
highly reputed aggregation, having
held the 200 pound Thunderbelts, Of
Elizabeth to a GO score, every one in
this burg will probably be out to see
these warriors in action against the
local cracks.
Tonight the Jackson quintet, Of

SAY BIG
SER|ES|S
ASSURED

According to present dope a series
between the Riversides and the Tot
tenville A. c. quintet is practically
assured. Manager Willis Larkins, of
the T. A. c. crew, stated that he
would match his aggregation against
the city champions providing the
same terms are offered him as he
offers the local squad for a game on
the knights of Pythias court. This
seems to be satisfactory to Manager
Wilentz, of the "Rivies." who is now
dickering with Joe-Billott-Joe to
complete arrangements for a game
on the Auditorium court. If salts
factory plans are finally made the
locals will probably play the T. A. c.
Five at Tottenville January 4, which
is the only Saturday of the year that
the McCreery quintet will not appear
on the Auditorium court.
1t looks like a three1game series
with only the first two games to be
decided upon and the third to be
played if the decision in the other
two is IL. The Riversides are going
at a speedy rate at present, while the
Tottenville crew are handicapped by
several of their members being on
the hospital list. However, when
they stack their forces against the
Riversides they will no doubt be in
the mink of condition.

FOR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
OF ATHLETICS CRIMSON AND
WHITE BOW To WOODBRIDGE

With about two hundred banners
floating over their camp fires the
crimson and white basketball squad
marched out upon the Woodbridge
field of battle last night to meet the
cracked UP bunch of tosse1s support
ing the red and black. How many
times had quintets representing
these two schools, Perth Amboy and
Woodbridge, met before and still the
same keen rivalry existed. However,
it was always call Perth Amboy" in
the tussles waged in years gone by.
Woodbridge never had more than a
dead mans chance to gain an en-
trance into those sacred portals of
victory. But this fact should not
have had any bearing on last nights
fray. And SO it did not for the
mighty Woodbridge warriors. deter
mined to fight desperately and really
confident of victory, ~outpointed the
team of Perth Amboy high school
tossers and the first defeat for the
crimson at the hands of little Wood
bridge was chalked up. The final
score was 28-I8.
1t was no disgrace, boys. Wood
bridges team played a better game
and they won. That they we're de-
serving of the victory is something
which no fair minded sport will dis
pute. Their close guarding and fine
shooting kept them ahead every
minute during the fray. 1t was hard
on the 200 rooters who accompanied
the locals to see their favorites fall
before the boys from the little burg
up the line for it was the first defeat
that has eve been recorded by the
red and black against the crimson
and white.
Woodbridge opened the first round
with the initial score Of the game, a
pretty field goal by Reyder. Gushing
followed with the same stunt and
Reyder repeated, score 60. Then
the crimson tossers started working
and a field goal by Rooms and Gold
berger made matters wax warm and
the throng Of spectators, half cheer
ing for one and the rest for the
other, were in an uproar.
Unaccustomed to the strictly clean
manner Of play which is the only
sort tolerated by Mr.. Lipscomb,
coach of the locals, who acted as
referee In the first administration,
the Woodbridge lads were penalized
many times, foul after foul being
called. But the Perth Amboy toss
ers could not take advantage of the
opportunities afforded them. How
ever, this did not figure in the sentI-
ments of Captain Marty Reyder, of
the Woodbridge aggregation, for he
kept continually complaining of the
deal being given his boys. When
he finally uttered a phrase which Mr..
Lipscomb believed u~nwarranted,
especially from a high school student,
he ordered Reyder to be taken out
and he was. Vecsi replaced him and
the period ended.
One husky parsonage known as
