for Angerer for a month or more. He
is regarded as a high class man; as a
southpaw the hitters of the Topeka
club will hail his arrival with de-
light. Every man on the club has
asked services of left-handed pitch
er to be used in batting practice if for
no other reason. However, Manager
Gear believes this youngster will win
regularly if given proper support.
Manager Gear also signed Holm
berg, a right hand pitcher, who was
with the Lincoln club last year.
Lemon is the name of the infielder.
Nothing is known of his former ex-
perience but Manager Gear says he is
valuable inside man. a good hitter
and good base runner. Lemon will
report to the club Saturday.
Manager Gear is highly pleased
with the showing made Thursday by
Pepper" Clarke. In fact, he is more
encouraged with the pitching stan
now than at any time since the sea-
son opened. 1t appears that Paul
Brown. Barney McGrath and Pep
per- Clarke have begun to show real
pitching form and Gear expects them
to begin winning the games with reg
ularity.
The club is missing the services OF
Outfielder Forsythe. Had he been
with the club in Thursdays contest
it is probable that a shutout would
have been prevented.

JUDGMENT IN CASE
CLUFF VS.. DROWN

In the case of Cluff vs.. Drown,
which has been in the justice court
for several days, Judge Castle handed
down decision yesterday, awarding
the plaintiff the amount sued for. The
case, as stated in yesterdays Indepen-
dent, came up over an insurance poll
cy which Cluff sold to Drown, and
which Drown claimed was not as rep
resented. The court ruled, however,
that the evidence of fraud or misrep-
resentation was not shown and ac-
cordingly awarded judgment in favor
of Cluff. The case will probably be
appealed to the district court.

BOY SLAYER MUST
HANG FOR CRIME

Earl Martin Loomis, the 17-year-old
boy. formerly of Reno, who murdered
Mrs. Marie Holcroft, formerly of the
Colonial apartments here, was yester-
day sentenced to be hanged at Fol
som prison by the district court at
Sacramento. The date for the hanging
was set for January 20. Loomis killed
Mrs. Holcroft last August, while he
was robbing the Purity ice cream
parlor in Sacramento. Mr.. and Mrs.
Holcroft, who are well known in Reno,
were the proprietors. Entering the
place, Loomis was confronted by Mrs.
Holcroft, whom he ordered to throw
up her hands. Mrs. Holcroft grabbed
revolver and fired. Loomis returned
the fire and killed her. When SEN
tence was passed upon the boy, who
is the first youth to be sentenced to
the death penalty in Sacramento
county, he cursed the judge. At no
time did he finch while in the court
room, maintaining the attitude of
stolid indifference which had charac-
tered his demeanor throughout the
trial.-Journal.

THE COST OF ADVERTISING

Who pays the cost of advertising? d?
The bureau OF corporations of tho
United States is investigating the sub
iect of the value of advertising, and
trying to determine how far it is eco
nomically profitable, and whether it
costs the public anything. 1t will no
ioubt be ound that money judicious-
ly spent in advertising reduces the
cost of getting the goods to the con-
sumer.
The highest selling costs are found
in the store where sales are slow.
When a merchant doubles sales by
letting the public know about his
goods, he usually adds but very little
10 the expense for sales force. The
overhead expenses, such as taxes, in
surance, light and rent, are increased
but little, if any. Consequently the
charge that has to be made to each
article to pay clerk hire and overhead
expense is reduced. A merchant can
afford to. sell for less money, mean.
while making a larger profit for him
self
If there were no advertising, buy
ing would be very heavy at the height
of the season, and would drop off
more than it does now between the
rush periods. The most economical
agency for distributing goods is one
that keeps along somewhat the same
from one month to another Advertis-
ing informs people that there are spe
cial bargains at mid-season periods.
1t teaches people that by waiting for
thoe periods they can make econo-
mics. That tends to equalize retail
trade, and saves the necessity for ex.
ira expense during rush periods.
Advertising performs all that could
be accomplished by house to house
solicitation, and at far less cost.
1t visits hundred homes and talks
to the inmates thereof, while a solic.
ltor could enter but one. Advertising
then is not an extra charge added to
the cost OF the goods. 1t is simply a
part OF the normal selling expense,
reducing the cost of the sales force

NEVADA HAY MAY GO .-..
TO EASTERN MARKET

Nevada's surplus of 10000 tons of
prime alfalfa hay may be disposed of
IN the markets of Kansas City and
Omaha If present plans of the South
ern Pacific are carried out, says the
Reno Gazette.
j. M. Fulton, assistant general
freight and passenger manager, says a
special temporary rate on baled hay
If SO a ton is being arranged for
With the railroad lines east of Ogden.
This will be a reduction of about so
per cent and, it is expected, will en-
able Nevada hay producers to get rid
Of their supply in the middle western
markets.
AS it takes about forty days to put
through a change in interstate rates
the change will be delayed for some
thing more than a month and the eff
fective date of the rate will be an
nounced later.
1t is said the hay must be baled
tightly in order to make up full car
loads. The minimum will be 25, 900
pounds to the car. From the estimates
made for the Southern Pacific COM
pany, there should be 10000 to $4,000
carloads of hay available in Nevada
under the new low freight rate.

MRS. ]. ". ADAMS
, IS D|RECTRESS OF
FRISCO EXPOSITION

An extended meeting of the Neva-
da directors for the Panama-Pacific
exposition was held yesterday after
noon, at which Governor Oddie, Lieu
Stenant-Governor Ross and Attorney
General Thatcher were present, says
the Carson Appeal. The main matter
Of business discussed ard acted upon
was the letting of the contract for the
erection of the Nevada building at
San Diego.
For this work three bids have been
received, the c. G. Sellman Construc-
ton putting in one at $16,444, Fried
hoff and Hoeffer Reno submitting
one at $1,000 and a San Diego con.
Germ bidding S2O,475. The Sellman
bid being the lowest the contract was
awarded to that company. Mr.. Sell
man, accompanied by Architect De
Longchamps, will start for San Diego
this evening for a meeting with the
directors of the fair there, preparato-
ry to beginning active construction
work. 1t is stated, however, that actual
work on the building will probably be-
gin within the coming week
Following a precedent established a
number of years ago at other fairs,
and as compliment to the women of
Nevada, two ladies were placed in ex-
ecutive positions in connection with
the work of the board of directors.
Mrs. J. w. Adams, wife of Ex-Governor
Adams, was named as hostess" her
duties placing her at the head of the
ladies who will do the receiving of
visitors at the San Francisco fair
when that fair is thrown open to the
public. Mrs. w. A. Massey, wife of
the late Senator Massey, was appoint
ed directress of domestic art and she
will have charge of that phase of Ne
vada's exhibit. 1t is believed that that
department is going to be quite fea-
ture of the exposition, as many ladies
of Nevada have expressed their pur-
pose of exhibiting specimens of en-
broidery and other kinds of needle
work.
