Signs Of the Times

All signs point to very much
better business this year than
last year.
The effects of the war are un-
derstood and discounted.
Crops are bountiful. Buying is
more in evidence.
Money for investment is plenti-
full.
While there is no sudden boom
there, is steady progress.
The advertising columns of this
newspaper reflect this spirit
They show the push ahead"
of merchant and manufacturer.
They show you the names OF
those who deserve business by
their willingness to work for It.

CAMPAIGN NOTES

Inc eastern end OF tne county not
only makes good farmers, but it pro-
duces campaign orators par excellence,
as well. The latest development in
that line is F. B. Snavely, Republican
candidate for poor director Aside
from having charge of some 5000 or
1000 acres of land attached to the
Hershey farms, Mr.. Snavely is a busi-
ness man of no mean ability and he
finds time to go about the county
evenings making the kind of speeches
that people like to hear. This Fall
marks his first appearance on the
stump but he goes at his job like a
veteran and is making scores of
friends thereby.
1t has been twenty-five years since
the upper end of the county had a
candidate for county recorder. Philip
Swab, of that district, was the last
man from that part of the county to
hold the office and the upper end peo-
pie are much pleased that James E.
Lentz won out for the Republican n
nomination this Fall. He will get a
tremendous vote throughout that dis
trict
1t is not generally known, but when
Mark Mumma, Republican candidate
for county treasurer, became tax col
lector for Steelton some years ago
that thriving borough was very much
up in the air. as to where it stood
financially Since that time Mr. Num-
ma has put Steelton on its feet and the
taxes have been collected up to the
minute each year. He will carry the
same careful guardianship of public
funds to the county treasurer's office.
The public declarations of William
S. Tunis and Alderman Bayles that
they are out for the whole Republican
ticket have robbed the Democratic
campaigners of much of their thunder.
After those declarations, stories of
dissension in Republican ranks were
received only with grins by the vot-
ers.

Ed Walsh is still another. It had
been several seasons since the Su-
preme Chancellor of all fingers held
the enemy to six blows and won his
game, hands down. Yet he went out
against the Athletics not long since
and did that very thing, and the twen-
ty-two odd thousand fans who saw
him put it over went home convinced
that the Big Moose was right again.
George Chalmers of the Phillies is
also cited
The debaters point to a whole raft
OF batters in support of their theory.
The most prominent of these is Chief
Meyers, McGraw's veteran Indian
maskman. The Chief finished last

Albert Leon Mamaux. Pittsburgh

ing sensation of the year among pitch

second year in big company. he never
before made such a bid for recOgni-
tion among the majors as he is doing
now To Mamaux must 60 the credit
for putting the Pirates in the race for
the National League title. Tie latest
averages show AL to have won Is
games and lost 4 for an average Of
.7S9.
Albert Leon Mamaux vas born on
Decoration Day, May go, 1894 in Pitts

facturer OF tents and awnings, was
amateur and semi-pro pitcher of To-
cal fame in his lay. He taught his
son to twirl. and as a schoolboy AL

the Brookline team, which played and
defeated some of the best amateur
grown-ups in the district In 1912 he
joined the Wilkesbarre club in the
Allegheny County League, and soon
became famous for his knack of strik-
ing out opposing batsmen.
In the spring of 1913 Mamaux was
tried out by the Pirates who carried
him on the training trip. Being less
than 10 years old, Fred Clarke deter
mined to give him the advautage Of
some minor league schooling. He ac-
cordingly farmed the youngster out to

twice and lost both games. He was
turned back to Pittsburgh and Barney

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Is the ma

standpoint this year than in former
years?
John McGraw swears it is. So do
lot of other veteran baseball men.
"The only reason the Cubs ever
stayed on top as long as they did is
because the National League is play
ing the rottenest ball it has played in
a decade" opines Jawn. "And the
same goes for the Phils."
Some caustic individuals may come
back with the assertion that Mr.. Nc
Graw is prejudiced, inasmuch as his

the season. They cannot, however.

their contention, cite the many pitch

OF these probably the most glaring
is that of Jack Coombs. The iron
man was considered through for two
years When Connie Mack unloaded
him on Charley Ebbets at the start Of
the present season. the wise ones

flaws now are strangely stilled. The
