MORE ABOUT ADVERTISING

Advertisement writer's usually
make one or two errors. Some OF
them fill their space so full OF fine
type that the whole array Of closely
set matter looks forbidding. Others
are too Indifferent to give any details

ceptions are boomerangs.
The news element in advertising
should be given great prominence.
Remember that a mark down sale or

MONEY SIDE OF BASEBALL

There are wiseacres and pesslmists
who see crcokedness in every phase
of life. They never take any inter

games are bought and sold, IN order
TO keep the running even. The bet
ting fraternity control players and
umpires.
Yet IL these cynics were to attend
some of the big league games. they
might change their point Of view.
They would soon discover that the
bleacher crowd is quick to suspect
iistlessness or disloyalty even when
II does not exist. No other business
in the country receives such critical
support, or is so dependent on clean
work, and systematic crookedness
seems impossible.
There is one perfectly good sense

al league contests are of the nature
OF an auction. BY the month OF Aug
ust the stronger teams are pretty
clearly indicated. Success means
big money for the management, and
better Jobs next year for the play
ers. The leading teams are very
much alike. It comes then to be a
question as to which management
will spend the most money to make
strong the weak points In its lineup.
The existence of the money ele-
ment seems inevitable up to this
point. In this life one gets what he
pays for. A city that backs up its
team with liberal and loya- crowds,
places baseball on strong and indie

So safety as well as cleanliness de-

The adult frequently lives over
winter in cracks in the walls of the
house, barn, or other buildings where
shelter may be secured. 1t is often
found behind pictures, under torn
wall paper. behind the telephone,
etc. Most Of them die, however.
The pupae go over winter in the
ground or in sheltered places. Adults
coming from these pupae the first
warm days in spring mate and the
females seek a place to deposit their
eggs. The early spring females prob
ably lay from 25 to rs eggs. The
summer generations OF females may
lay two patches of one hundred OF
