The Twin State league baseball sea-

Keene, Brattleboro and Bellows Falls.
The local season was In striking con-
trast with that of 1911, when Brattle-
boro lifted the flag and played Its last
game Labor day before nearly $500 peo-
pie. This year the games Labor day
and the Saturday previous were cancel
led on account of storms.
Brattleboro started poorly and was In
third place during nearly all the race.
Malcolm, rated as one of the greatest
college pitchers in the country, came
here in poor form, and lost game after
game. Other players who came here the
first of the season were not satisfactory
and were released. Manager Hazelton
was also discarded after a few weeks. In
the closing weeks Brattleboro had fast
team, but was unfortunate in the break
of several close games. The attendance
was much smaller on the average than
last season. the expense account was al
together too high, and the surplus OF
nearly $500 with which the team started
was wiped out before the middle OF Au-
gust. 1t is understood that the directors
raised $500 with which to pay the sal

Wonderful NeWWaII Board
Attracts Attention

All who have seen It at LESLIE
SMITHS are compelled to acknowledge
that lath and plaster are behind the
times.
Plastergon is the name of this new
wall board and it is so easy to see it's
economy and superiority that the demand
throughout the country is tremendous
1t takes the place of lath and plaster
In the building of new houses of every
kind, and for remodeling rooms in old
homes nothing like 1t has ever been seen
before. Think OF a wall board that
never breaks, cracks or wears out; that
anyone can put on; and once on II
stays on forever with never any cost for
repairs.
It's guaranteed-that's one strong fea-
ture of Piastergon; its the only treated
wall board on the market; that's why 1t
Is moisture and vermin proof, fire and
sound retarding.
Another remarkable thing about Plas-
tergon Wall Board is that it resists heat
and cold. That means. OF course, that
the rooms will be cooler in summer and
warmer in winter and that's worth con-
sdering with the price of coal where 1t
will be next winter.
Plastergon comes in panels Just the
proper size to suit any requirements and
designed to suit any room in the house
IL Is extensively used for partitions
for offices and to make extra rooms any
where, because Of its cheapness, durabil-
ity and the quickness with which 1t can
be put up

Watches are sensitive. There is in
Cleveland, o., a central Office for the in
spection of watches, which serves 60
different railroads. Twice a month every
railroad man must take his watch to a
local inspector to have It regulated, and
once a year 1t must be cleaned. Neglect
of these rules may be followed by sus-
pension or discharge. The officials of
this inspection department have found
that the watches of engineers with reg
ular runs keep much better time than
those OF men who work In long stretches.
