Error by Nunmaker and a
Hit by Speaker Tell
the Story.
RALLY IN NINTH
KEEPS GAME GOING
New York Team Falls Into the
Second Division by Dropping
Game Apparently Won.
rBy Telegraph to IN. Tribun.. ]

Boston, June 29.-The Yankees tied
he Red Sox in the ninth inning to-day
with n spirited rally, only to lose in
the tenth. The score was 4 70 3. The
defeat may be traced 10 two men. One
of them, Speaker, is a member Of the
Boston club, but Nunamaker is in the
pay Of Donovan.
Speaker won for Boston by making
five hits and by robbing Boone OF an
extra base drive in the tenth with a
remarkable running catch. Nunamak-
er lost for the Yankees by dropping
a throw at the plate and later making
poor throw to second.
The defeat drove the Yankees into
! the second division, as Washington
won from the Athletics. There was
some rejoicing among the rooters at
the turn Of to-day's game, but some
commiseration as we'll, for the after

Just now we are almost at the close
of one year and the beginning of
another. Why not little more
preparedness for profit in 1916.
Probably good first step would
be review of the lessons taught
by the successes and failures of the.
past year. More book keeping, more
carefully kept records, more system,
better equipment, more study, not
only of production of crops but of
selling them, means preparedness
for profits.
History teaches that so long as
agriculture has been fostered, and
so long as it has developed and i'm
proved, other things, including
national development, have gone
hand in hand with it. Surely we
favor preparedness for an improved
and developed agriculture. Gen
eral Improvement, better homes,
better surroundings, more conven-
fences, better social conditions,
better educational advantages in
the rural communities, better roads,
all these and many more are steps
in preparedness for development
and improvement in the farming
communities of this land.
The land seems to be full of re-
formers and efforts to improve
and develop the farmer, but in our
humble opinion the improvement
and development of agriculture
must come from those who live on
the farms and know first-hand the
work and conditions that exist there
and not from commissioners who
never slept in farm house in their
lives. There is no place where there
is more opportunity to live for real
life than on the farm.
ALI these things that we have
mentioned are helps in the making
of life worth while 1t is in the farm
home that the fruits of our labor
in the fields are to be enjoyed, so
let part of our preparedness be to
that end.
The remainder of the minutes will
be published next week.

NOTICE
RISING SUN, Md.
Dec. 81, 1915.

Dec. 81, 1915.
To The TRADE:
Beginning February IS, 1916. we will
charge bankable discount on all book
accounts running over 80 days. The rea-
son is this: We have accounts on our
books that should have been paid long
ago and we have had to borrow money at
the bank to pay these accounts. This
we cannot afford to do. 1t is discrimi.
nation against the cash buyer. One
customer pays us cash, another asks for
credit. We want the trade of both
customers and we will gladly extend
credit to customer deserving it. but we
will have to charge him what it costs us
to carry his account on our books.
This change goes into effect February
IS. 1916, or in other words, If you have
goods charged January rs and they are
not paid for by February IS. bankable dis.
count will be charged on the account at
that time.
We will make one exception to the
above rule and that is where a customer
cannot settle his account at the end of
80 days. we will take baukabe note for
the amount due with bank discount added.
The way it has been in the past, the
man who got his goods charged received
better bargain than the man who paid
cash, as he not only had the goods when
he needed them, but had the money to
use elsewhere. We buy our goods on 90
days time and we cannot get the discount
off unless we pay for them on that basis.
hence you can easily see that we are both
losers If our obligations are not met when
they are due.
We realize that this is radical depar-
ture from the way we have carried on our
