STATE TREASURER DEAL
ANSWERS AN INQUIRY
Exposing Busted" Treasury Canard--
Also Tells How His Policy of De-
posting Saved State $248,827

The song that the Republicans are
singing over the State of the busted"
Treasury will not do. 1t is unfair and
unjust as there has been more money
given to the public roads during this
biennial period than was ever given
in the same period before, and still
we have more money in the Treasury
than we had last year, less the Cap
itol funds, as l stated above.
Hoping this will answer your let
ter clearly and assuring you that l
will be glad to furnish you with any
other information, | am,
Your very truly,
(Signed) E. P. DEAL,
State Treasurer.

COST OF FARMERS
MUTUAL INSURANCE

Few now doubt the value of insur-
ance if the cost can be kept low
enough to keep it from being too
great a burden. Of course, for ev-
cry dollars worth of property de-
stroyed someone must pay. Insur-
ance simply distributes this loss so
that it doesn't fall so heavily on the
man who happens to be unfortunate.
The efficient company will give the
greatest possible protection for the
least possible cost in addition to the
actual payment of loss. There are
said to be farmers mutual companies
in this country handling over mil
lion dollars in risks at a cost of less
than 5000 a year, excluding, Of course,
the losses paid. The typical farmers
company can do things of this kind
because it pays no salaries or only a
very small salary to the secretary.
Often there is no payment except a
small amount per day to secretary
and adjuster for the time actually Civ
en- in adjusting losses. In addition to
this there is some slight expense for
postage in case members are notified
of meetings and assessments by mail
and for papers, envelopes, and few
simple Office supplies of this kind

The Washington players said that the

that Walter johnson had pitched in a

In Tuesdays game, Larry Gardner kept

work in the field and rapping out three
safe hits, one of which was triple.

his three hits in Tuesdays game between
the Brooklyns and the Braves, making
two doubles and triple out of four
times up.

narrowed to eight survivors in the Casino

Norris Williams, Cd, the holder of the

his game to its topmost flights at the

Pierotti Twirled Barre to 5
to 3 Victory Over
Burlington
A SNAPPY LEAGUE
GAME WITNESSED
Palmer Pitched Well for
Burlington, but He
Was Outshone

The snappiest game played at The
Berlin street grounds this year was
played between Burlington and Barre l.
A. c. yesterday, when Barre won the
game by a score OF to 3, outplaying
Burlington in all departments OF the
game.
While the team in general played a
live game. the most credit viii have TO
be given Pierotti, who outpitchcd Palmer
from the time Umpire Scampini called
play until the last man was out in the
ninth inning, Pierotti was in the best
OF form and was cheered time after time
by the handful of fans who gathered to
watch the Vermont state leaguers per-
form So good was his pitching that Ii
of the Burlington batsmen famed the
breeze in their endeavor 10 connect with
his swift shoots, and only three of the
Queen City boys reached the first bag
by the free ticket route.
Palmer's pitching was by no means
poor, but il was so inferior 10 that of
the Italian pitcher that little was
thought of the game he was pitching.
During the nine frames, Barre could gar
ner but seven safe drives of his delivery,
and he also struck out eight OF the
Barre men.
The team which Burlington presented
on the field was looking a hundred per
cent. better than the team that played
here week ago, when Barre hammered
out Ia hits for a total of 20 bases, win
ming by score OF II to 0. Yesterday
Burlington played almost an errorless
fielding game, making but one slip, and
that a tumble of hit in front OF the
plate by Tomasi in the fourth inning
when Hamilton failed TO handle the ball.
Barre played a much faster game in the
field. Although their error column shows
five errors these were mostly excusable,
as they were on balls difficult 10 handle,
being hard hit balls to the infeld.
Powers for Burlington had the best
batting average, being credited with two
hits out of three times at bat, and draw
ing base on balls on his fourth time
up. Granai led for Barre in the number
Of base hits, getting two singles out Of
four times up and scoring one Of the
runs. Aside from the pitching of Pierot- |
ii, Gaco's home run in the second inning |
was the feature of the game, the ball /
.aking bad bound just as Denning was t
about to grab it and rolling to the left |
ield fence, two runs crossing the plate |
before the ball could be relayed to the
nfield
In the third frame, Burlington evened
he score, Fitzpatrick got life on Gran
lis error of his grass clipper, Powers
cached first on bad throw by Lavoie
o first, and both men came home on
'almer's two base blow into the center
arden.
In the fourth Barre put the game on
ee when Tomasi reached first ON Hamil-
on's tumble Gaco worked Palmer for
walk, both men moving along on Gran

Actors Must Bring the Dead to Life.

Walter Prichard Eaton, in the August
American Magazine asks:
what is the final end and aim OF
acting? 1t is not to repeat the authors
lines. 1t is not to give propulsion to
the events of the authors story. 1t is
to bring to life the authors characters.
Now, in the actual world, the character
does not exist devoid of personality-a
quality we need hardly try to define,
since it eludes definition but is perfect
ly well recognized by everybody. The
most interesting people are those with
the most interesting personalities. A
colorless person we say has little person
atty Therefore, on the stage, the most
interesting characters in the play are
bound to be those for whom the author
has imagined the most vivid and inter-
esting personalities"
