record of the American league pitch
ers, who had TO face sluggers OF the
Cobb, Crawford, Speaker and Joe

lead with a record OF l.01 earned
runs per game for the season, in
which he pitched 221 % innings, strik-
ing out ia men. issuing but 90 passes
and allowing but lao. This bit of
hurting achievement marks the Bos-
ton gentleman as the most effective
pitcher in the world. Foster. also of
the Red Sox. is second. with an aver
age Of 1.65 earned tallies per game,
and Walt johnson, who was the league
workhorse, pitching 81 % innings,
is third. His average is LII de-
served counters, and he established
himself as the strikeout king by fan
ming 225 players.
Nineteen American leaguers al
lowed less than two and half earned
runs an encounter. and 81 more
ranged between that limit and the
three-run mark. Thirteen come in
the list OF those permitting an aver

Horrors AIanq the San.

PETROGRAD, Oct. 29.-The co..
respondent of Reich at Lemberg says
as the result of the burning of the
villages on the lower region of The
San river frightful conditions prevail
All available buildings, including the
Slavic manastries and crowded with
Austrian wounded and dying. Many
of these men, the correspondent says,
were left behind by the fleeing Aus
TRANS without having received med =
cal attention.
1.-THE Russian advance was delayed"
continues the correspondent. owing
to the necessity of attending to the
burning of the Austrian dead and
caring for the wounded, who Jared
badly at the hands of the few I'M
skilled nurses and priests. The
wounded deserted by the Austrians
materially augmented the list of pris-
oners taken. Among the prisoners
are many Turkish inhabitants of
Bosnia. Polish volunteer regiments
are being formed in all parts of Po-
land and western Russia, exclusively
of Catholics. They are differed BY
Poles and have Polish chaplains.'

Fighting on both banks of the User

previously. Both sides are taking i
rest. The Belgians have fought above
expectations. and amid the din o.
battle their cry of Louvain and
'Termonde' could be heard. A less

TRADE AT HOME

pounds, which you cannot get away
from. 1t is an actual fact.
AS to service, we may take two
general divisions. First, we can de-
liver the goods Immediately as need
cd, as against having to wait two
weeks to two months when ordering
from outside sources. And the con-
sumner does not give You advance
LOtice of when he will want his
goods; he waits till he wants to use
them and then expects you to have
them on hand to deliver to HIM.
Second, the investment required of a
retail dealer to carry a stock of
paint There are the different kinds
of paint. wall. floor, roof, carriage,
automobile, varnishes and stains, and
the Velunina flat wall finish, and
| many others. and as many as forty
eight different cOlors and shades in
the wall paint. To carry a stock
! that will in any way meet the de-
mand of the trade requires an in
vestment of $4,000, and then one fair
order will deplete the stock in a Ger
tain shade or kind, and it is two
months before this stock can be re-
Eewed this when the retail dealer
is buying away from home" It
means the investment by fifty dealers
of $4,000 and a stock always out
of colors, and a long wait for re-
newals. But in buying from us they
have $4,000 stock of paint at their
! daily command, and by investing
} ft.nr
! have enough on their shelves to show
their customers that they carry paint
and the colors to select from, and
20 fill small day by day orders But
if a customer wants to paint his
fcuSe or his barn the additional
quantity is Immediately available
from our stock. An example of this
is the case of our own state fair. 1t
was decided to paint a number CT
the buildings n particularly beauti-
tul shade of green, listed on our card
as willow green. This work required
los gallons of this shade, and W. n.
CaVileer. 10S East Adams street, who
furnished the paint, had about six
gallons of this particular shade Were
Mr.. Cavileer buying east he could
lot possibly have filled this order
in time to have the work done by
| fair week. But go out to the
! grounds and see how they look now.
Mr.. Cavileer called us up on the
phone and asked us how our stock
of Patton's roof paint, willow green,
was. I'm good shape" we said. "One
hundred gallons" Say, that was
some. We had to take our gallons,
| half gallons and quarts, but that
| day we delivered to him 1913 gallons.
We admit this was a close call, even
on our stock; we had just two gal
Ions left. Our stock will meet all
the usual varied demands from The
dealers handling this line and car
rying the one central stock instead
of fifty independent stocks means a
saving of required capital invested of
$4,000 to the Arizona business
world on the one item of paint alone
The same applies on our different
lines, heating furnaces, horse shoes
bolts. hardwood lumber and many
other different articles which we shir
in carloads. Quality, price and ser
vice are our WatchWords, and an CD

You ask for a concrete and spe-
Cific illustration as to the manner
lit which the carrying of a jubbing
stock locally affects the consuming
and retail trade, and what benefits
are derived; permit me to refer 70
one of our lines.
First, as to the consumer: AS we
dc not cater to the individual con-
Stunning trade their interests are de-
pendent on the service we can rem
der the retail merchant, both as %
the price and delivery of the stock.
If we can better serve the latter, he
in turn is in better position to serve
his individual customer. We will not
dwell on the general and indirect
benefits due to our entire force form
ing additional retail customers, or to
the taxes we pay; such benefits have
been emphasized in several of your
recent issues and are fully apparent
To every one when once brought to
their attention. We will rather give
you the line of reasoning which We
present to the retail merchant, and
which is so sound that it is resulting
in the very general stocking of this
line by the Arizona trade.
First, as to cost: The lowest less
that car freight rate on this line,
when bought from any outside job
Der, or from the factory, is Sill per
100 pounds. The carload freight rate
which we obtain, and which there
from enters into the cost is S125,
