Chicago Record-Herald: In Tex
as town there lives an old negress
Aunt Cpnthia Johnson, who is sharI
of tongue and seldom at peace witt
her female neighbors. Recently, a
result of war of words with one
of her neighbors, she was being trieC
in the recorders court for disturbance
Uncle Levi Criggle was called to thu
witness stand and the following en-
sued:
Brother Criggle, how long have yol
lived in my part of town and knowec
me?"
"'Bout ten years, Sister Johnson.

speaking of the plan of his company,
said:
"Our plan is not one that interests
the real estate agent only, but one
which is of exceptional value to mer-
chants, bankers and land owners, as
well, in that it will materially increase
population, production and consump-
tion.
''In working out our plan we have
sought to utilize every possible ave-
nue Of profitable advertising that can
be legitimately obtained that we may
give enormous publicity to California.
1t will be our object as well to curb,
as far as possible, any and all adver-
tising of misleading character which
has gone before US. In all our work
we shall endeavor, with the help of
the conscientious citizens of Califor-
MIA, to teach and preach the truth.
"To tell eastern people of Califor-
MAS products by story and picture is
well, but to demonstrate them at their
very door is the acme of good adver-
tising.
"The train will consist principally
of baggage cars, which will be turned
into exposition cars for the display of
California's products of soil, mines,
and factories. Sleeping and dining
accommodation will be provided and

increase in the value of lands through
an increased demand. The merchant
profits by an increased business and
steady demand and consumption
| thereafter The real estate dealer
profits through the sale of lands and
intensifcation of ranching. In gen.
cral, through the influx of people and
money for which the county produces
nothing but opportunities, increased
investment and continued productivity
is secured and general state of pros
perity maintained.
eve are safe in the statement that
in the entire annals of advertising
there never has been so large and ex-
tensive plan, in any line, operated
under one campaign. The possibilities
Of California alone make it possible
We are only taking advantage of this
opportunity to serve two purposes:
the advertising of our state and the
establishment of a great national
magazine and publishing house in
California that will be continual
source of profit to both the state and
our company. We will thus conserve
our own writer's and make them Cali
foITiia producers, instead of driving
them east.
Bret Hart, Mark Twain, Will Irwin,
Mary Austin, Gertrude Atherton and
many others We're driven east to seek
an outlet for their works-Harold
Bell Wright, John 1. McGroarty, Chas
F. Lummis, are still with us with their
productions, such as Barbara Worth"
the mission Play" and Lummis mul-
titudinous works, together with many
other good authors. From the above
authors some of our best advertise
ments have come. California is daily
reaping a very large financial benefit
from them and could reap a great deal
more if she were really alive to their
value
at is splendid thing sentimentally
to point to Harold Bell Wright driv-
ing through your streets as an inhabi-
tant of your county, and one of the
greatest authors of the day; but, did
you ever lay aside the sentimental fo1
moment and figure out what mil
lion and quarter copies of q
Barbara Worth" is worth to your
county financially?
"One of the grossest mistakes of
any community is made when it neg
lects its publications, daily, weekly
and monthly, and the men who write
things that move people, both in body
and soul.

NEW YORK LETTER
BY Norman.

by NORMAN
New York, July 14.-Great plays
are not confined to the big leagues.
By no means. You might, in fact,
comb the records of the National and
American circuits for many years
back, without finding a catch so spec
tacular as Rocksy's.
ROcksy is otherwise Charles
Rocks, eight years old, left fielder
of the Roses, an amateur nine of
some standing in the vicinity of 18th
avenue and 10th street, which plays
it's games on vacant ground between
the railroad tracks and the Hudson
river.
1t was in the seventh inning of a
very close and exciting game between
the Roses and their most dreaded
rivals, the Lilacs, that a thrilling
crisis arrived. Two were out and
the bases full when the prize swatteT
of the .Lilacs came to bat.
The Roses pitcher tried in vain to
fool him. Bang! and the ball went
sailing out to left field-an awful
smash.
ooh, you ROcksy! Git under it
Rocksy!" piped the partisans of the
Roses, and the eight other players of
said team.
Rocksy was on the job. With his
eyes on the ball, he streaked it out to
deep left. Clear out onto a planzing
over the river he ran, he made des-
perate stab for the ball, he got it,
and-intO the river he went.
All the boys knew that ROcksy was
40 swimmer, and the game was for

gotten while they watched Willie
Binnia and Jim Reynolds, who rushed
to the river, jumped in, and swan to-
ward Rocksy, who had floated out
some fifty feet and had gone down
twice.
The rescuers got to him just in
time and swan ashore with him. He
was revived and feeling much better
before an ambulance surgeon ar
rived. The doctor gave ROcksy a
ride home in the ambulance.
The Roses and the Lilacs are
agreed that the catch was undoubt-
edly the greatest ever, but they can't
agree about one thing. All the run
ners had crossed the plate before
they realized just what had happen
ed to Rocksy. Do those three runs
count, or don't they?
The Lilacs contend that, as the
ball was not recovered along with
ROcksy, he must have dropped it.
Therefore, the runs score. The Roses
declare that if a player catches the
ball, that is enoUgh-he can't be ex-
pected to carry it around in the river
with him.
And there isn't a thing in the rules
that covers the case.
