CONCRETE FOUNTAINS.
Simplicity, Beauty and ~Permanence
Achieved In GAINESVILLE, Wis.

Simplicity, Beauty and P~ermanence
Achieved In GAINESVILLE, Wis.
Utility and permanence combined
with simplicity and beauty Of design
were the ideals sought and realized in
the concrete drinking fountains recent
ly completed in the city Of GAINESVILLE,
Wis. The fountains we're designed by
c. V. Kerch, the city engineer, and
constructed under his supervision by
workmen in the employ of the city.
Both are novel in that they furnish
drink for man and horse and dog, and
one of them is equipped with a special
bowl for the use Of small ponies.
The horse bowl, an OIL cast iron one
neatly fitted into the fountain, is plac-
ed at a sufficient height to make the
unchecking of horses when drinking
unnecessary.
Each fountain is equipped with san
itary continuous flow bubbling cups of
the most approved type. The bubbler
fitted into the large one drains into
the pony bowl. The horse bowl has a
separate water supply and also drains
into the pony bowl. From this recep-
tacle the water runs to the dog bowl
in the bottom ut the right and from
thence into the sewer.
The sanitary cup in the lower foun-
tain, set into the projecting table, sup
plies through it's drain pipe both the
horse and dog bowls. Zach fountain
has its own manhole. permitting ON
venient inspection and repeir of supply
and drain pipes. The only plumbing
in the fountains is that used for the
water supply. the drain passages being
pierced in the concrete. They were
made Of large diameter SO as to pre-
vent clogging.-Ame1ican City.

TEAMS GOOD ON ATTACK.
But Weakness Appears In Defense Of
Football EIevens.

TOOIOaij 6IeVenS.
Judging by the football games al
ready played, it seems as though the
attacking force of most Of the impor-
tant teams is going to be stronger than
the defense this year.
Most of the games played thus far
have shown larger totals rolled up by
both the winning and the losing team
than were made in 1912. OF course
this was not so in every case, particu-
larry at Princeton and Ithaca. How
ever, it was a noticeable fact in SO
many games that it is fair to reason
that at the present time the attack is
better developed than the defense at
the majority of the colleges.
Those who are at all familiar with
the game of football know that it is a
great deal easier to build up a strong
attack than it is to round out a good
defense. An organic plan can be laid
out for offensive football, and men can
be drilled to do certain things at Ger
tain moments. While an organic de-
Tense is attempted it never reaches the
same perfection as a well built up at
tack, and in the main defensive foot
ball depends more upon the individual
ability of the players than upon any
system.

CIVIC PRIDE GREAT AID
TO ALL GROWING CITIES.
Loyalty, Enthusiasm and Energy Need
ed For Home Institutions.

""Town boosting" is a phase Of ad-
vertising that has been developed in
comparatively recent years. 1t is true
that many years ago there were a few
enterprising cities that spread broad
cast alluring statements of their ad-
vantages, but this advertising was
done more in the interest Of real es-
tate dealers than for the general good
of the community. These efforts, too,
were sporadic and without system. To-
day there are hundreds of cities all
over the country that are conducting
systematic, thoroughgoing advertising
campaigns, and they are getting big
returns for the money spent.
Aside from getting e residents
and industries. the advertising of a
town is a mighty good thing in another
way. 1t develops a loyalty and enthu-
siasm and 81 pride in home institutions
that are worth n good deal to the mer-
chants Of the city. When a lot Of
enthusiastic business men keep ham

zens is one Of the most valuable assets
a town can have. 1t is the strongest
possible antidote for the mail order

and benefits every one In the town.

BETTER THAN THE BILLBOARD
Ingenious Scheme Of French Firm

SS''S''S II
Worthy Of Emulation.
A method Of billboard advertising to
which no n can object has at last
been found. France imposes a pro-
gressive tax on the billboardS that dis
figure the country side. but an enter
prising firm has hit upon an ingenious
way to escape the penalty of the law
and at the same time to secure effec-
tive advertising.
In place of an u%nsightly billboard it
has substituted a large bed of flowers
in a field adjoining a railroad leading
into Paris. The design represents q
yellow cow. which is the trademark Of
the article advertised. The expert
ment has met with popular favor, and
as it is not a violation of the law it is
expected that the idea will spread
throughout France.
A rivalry in creating artistic and eff
fective floral advertisements would af-
ford a welcome relief from unsightly

The winning of a hundred games has

have captured 100 games oftener than
have the premieres in the American

and lost 40, giving them a percentage
Of .674. With exception. that was
as low as a pennant winning team

It was the Cubs who won out in 1906,
their record being ZIG games won, a
