Glover opened its baseball season on
Kings field Saturday with a celebra-
its opponents. The score was Glover,
IA, Barton, 0, and that just about
shows the relative excellence of the
two teams that afternoon. Barton
started Dubois on the mound but in
the second inning the home boys found
him for eight runs, after which Elliot
took his place. For the rest of the
game the runs came in more slowly,
! but what was the important thing they
! kept coming. Every man on the
Glover team crossed the plate at least
once and the more frolicsome made the
circuit two or even three times
Maurice Leland, pitching for Glover,
I struck out 20 men and gave but five
hits, walking three. Barton never
looked dangerous except in the fifth,
when Wallace Abbott was passed, after
which he stole second and third. When
he attempted to come home on George
Bushey's grounder, quick play by
Clarence Phillips from short and a
clever block by Catcher Wells cut off
Barton's sole chance to score. The
Glover team certainly looks good for
an organization of players, who have
had little practice, and who have never
before played together, and with the
liberal support of the townspeople
should give good account of itself
this summer.

To Avoid Smoke,

Simple way of avoiding the smoke
and gas which always pour into the
room when a fire is lit in a stove,
heater or fireplace on damp day:
Put in the wood and coal as usual,
but before lighting them ignite a
handful of paper or shavings placed
on top Of the coal. This produces a
current Of hot air in the chimney,
which draws UP the smoke and gas
at once. .....e..s .,ss , =. :. :, 80

BLACKLIST MISUNDERSTOOD
London Times Thus Accounts for American Protest and Says We In- yoled Same Rule in Philippines.

London. Aug. A. 4:33 a. m.-In dis the recent blacklist on American business firms the Times asserts that both the United States and Great Britain have used similar methods in times of peace to suppress the opium traffic and that the United States followed a similar plan in the pacifcation of the Philippines The Times says: We are convinced that in the main the outcry is due to the same factor as has been at the bot tom of more than one of our recent controversies with the United States, namely, misunderstanding.
 The blacklist is based upon the incontestable right of governments to tell their subjects with whom they may trade. It is a right sometime invoked in times of peace. The United States Great Britain and other countries used it to suppress the opium traffic. During the pacifica- tion of the Philippines, the United States rigidly enforced it against neu- tral traders in the Philippines who were suspected of dealing with the in- surrectionary, Aguinaldo.
 Tn this war the American bla ok list was promulgated after most care ful consideration and appears to have been formulated with all possible re- gard for the rights and convenience of neutrals. In telling our merchants with whom they may trade we are simply trying to Contribute to the cause of civilization by bringing the war to a conclusion as quickly as pos Sible"

IDEAL MOTOR TRUCK
Experts Believe Tests, in Southwest Will Produce in Short Time Ma chine Meeting all Requircments.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Military transport experts believe efforts to develop an automobile truck capable of meeting the needs of army cam paigning in rough country along the Texas border and in Mexico will cause the manufacture for COmmer- cial uses of the ideal truck within two or three years. The army trans port board has been III session here during the past week considering the preparation of specifications for each type of truck required by the army upon which automobile makers will be invited to bid.
 The board found that the tests to which the army trucks were subject ed on the border and in Mexico were the most severe that had been had in any part of the world. The con- ditionS of service were quite abnor- mal, yet the performance of some of the trucks was remarkably good Experts of the Society of Automobile Engineers, acting on the suggestions of the board, now are on the Mexican border studying at first hand the un- usual conditions of weather. sandy grit and alkali existing there with a view to the still further improvement of tEe army truck.
