the objects that they are difficult

very few of the things 1 have

can be easily copied for either holt
day gifts or for things to sell at
fairs.
Two pretty table mats, made Of
a combination of colors. are shown
here. The smaller one is made of
a deep old rose and tan colored
braids, and the larger one has a
dull leaf-green centre, a row of tan
colored points and an outer band
of deep warm brown. The color
effect is charming. One may make
four or five such mats in an eve
ming. They may be made of pure
white paper as serving mats for
the dining table and then they are
very lovely, or in pale colors they
are .Nharming for bedrooms.
A very attractive work bag that
looks most elaborate but is in
truth one of the very simplest
things to make. is fashioned from
four round mats of the braided
paper and one square one for the
base. These mats are all made
separate and then caught together.
The square mat for the base has

WILSON GIVES HIS
VIEWS UPON PRESS
Thinks Punishment Due to
Those Who Print Mis-
statements of Facts.
(National News Association

SEAGIRT, N. j., Aug. 5.-Gov. Will
son gave the correspondents few Of
his views today on the daily newspa-
per of the present time.
1T seems to me- said the nominee,
that there ought to be some method
of punishment meted out to those con-
nected with the daily newspapers who
are responsible for the misrepresenta-
ton and false statements printed
"Of course l realize the difficulty of
the task set for the newspapers and I
yet | cannot understand some of the
things they do.
During the course of an address
that | had made some years ago, I
ventured the statement that in small
communities public opinion was devel-
oped in the crossroad store where the
farmers sat around, chewed tobacco,
spit in the sawdust and exchanged
ideas
Il said jokingly that no matter what
might be said of tobacco chewing, it
must be admitted it made men think,
and that wherever you find men chew

Imagine my establishment the next
morning when the newspapers came
out ignoring the rest of my address
and featuring what I had said about
tobacco chewing, declaring | had said
that tobacco chewing made thinkers,
and imagine my horror when | found
the story following me all over the
country and getting worse and worse
every minute until in Dakota paper
l was quoted to the extent of a column
on the great advantages of tobacco
chewing. And can you further imag-
Inc my chagrin when a big chewing to-
bacco concern made a photograph of
one of the newspaper reports and
printed it in their advertising. 1t was
stamped as a college professor who
was advocating chewing tobacco to de-
velop the mind.

such a story. For such work as this

ished for that sort of thing is wrong

Terrible Beating.

Four hundred interested fans saw a
real exhibition of fast semi-pro ball
yesterday afternoon when the Rich
mond Waldorfs tore up the champion
ship aspirations of the Muncie Eagles,
and cast them to the four winds.
The score was II to 1, and the game
one-sided. The Richmond boys play
ed air-tight ball, and the Muncie
Eagles seemed to know nothing but
errors, scoring a bunch of the latter.
Roop, playing center field for the To-
calls, did the william work with his
club, lacing out two two-baggers. The
team played together we'll and added
their eighth scalp, out of ten raids.
The Waldorfs claim the county cham
pionship, and may arrange post
season series with the Empires to de-
eide the championship.
Next Sunday they play at Rushville,
Indiana.
The teams lined up as follows:
