Falls Into slump.

Last year Dave busted into the first
days OF the season With a few we'll
timed crashes that placed him at the
head Of the batting list with no trou-
BILE at all. He played like a fend, or
a Cobb, and he made such a furore
that everyone, McGraw included, said
the star had at last begun to shine.
1t was premature praise, for Dave
struck a slump, forgot his good reso-
lutions, and ended the season with a
batting average of .3O7, barely within
the hall of fame.

Minnesota Paints and Oils

Paint is cheaper than lumber, so
why, Mr.. House Owner, do you let
your buildings deteriorate in value
for the want of good coat of paint?
We say paint is cheaper than lum-
Der and we also say that Minnesota
is the most economical paint that is
on the market and after you get the
same on your buildings you have an
absolute protection for the lumber in
your buildings. Minnesota paint is
a pure White Lead and Zinc mixed
with pure linseed oil paint and is
not made up to certain weight by
the use Of cheap ingredients in or
der to make it heavier When you
are ready to call in and let us figure
with you on your whole job you will
be surprised how little it will cost
you to give your house a coat Of good
Minnesota Paint and save many times
the cost Of the paint in the lasting
quality Of the lumber.

phrase at the present time. The ex-

An endeavor is now under way to

members of the state legislature by Pc

lature to pass a bill calling for spe-
cial election in Illinois for the purpose
of voting on $1O,OOO,OOO bond issue

faced roads. It is further set forth in
the petition that the roads to be so
improved should be translate roads,
and it is recommended that the money
be expended upon the Lincoln highway.
