HAHETON FIVE
HERE TOMORROW
Manager McCord Has Been
Working Team Hard; City
League Players Given Trial

Manager Ike McCord has been
working his Independent team hard
during the past week in preparation
for the contest on Saturday night with
the Hazleton Pennsylvania State
League team. The team will hold an
other hard practice this afternoon, and
will be in the best possible condition
to meet the up-staters.
The team work and passing OF the
locals was way below the usual stand
ard in the Wilkes-Barre contest last
week. Great stress has been put on
this department of play and the play
ers are working together well.
1t is likely that several changes
may be made in the personnel of the
team tomorrow night. Several City
League stars have been practicing
with the team and will be given
faster company.
Gordon Ford. who has been out of
the game for some time with an in
iured knee, is anxious to get back, but
his physician advises him to wait until
the member strengthens.
\ big feature on Saturday night
will be several of the latest song hits
by Able Bloom, between the halves.

Purity and Delightfulness Make
CAMEL Cigarettes
TheMost Popular and Best Selling
Cigarette Ever Sold at any Price
<HlS enviable position has caused false
= and defamatory statements to be Circu-
lated about CAMELS, in order to iniure
their sale. AS our investigation of these
reports progresses, it becomes more and
more apparent that "men higher up" origi-
mated the scheme and have superintended
it's execution. They were able to slander
CAMELS in two ways: By hiring the ire
spOnsible to lie about Them and by, perhaps,
traudulently inducing honest men to cirCu-
late the lie But an honest man is always
honest Once ne learns that he has been
duped into misrepresentation, he not only
stops it, but quits the employment of and
exposes those who have misled him into
being an innocent party to the fraud.
SANDER will not take the PURITY and
DELIGHTFULNESS out of CAMELS.
1t may, for little WHILE hurt their sale
among those who are easily deceived. But
PURE TOBACCOS, scientifically blended,
will continue to make CAMELS the most
popular and desirable cigarette on the~mar-
ket, regardless of price. The man who
smokes them knows. To him there is no
substitute, and no other brand can be long
substituted for CAMELS by slander and
misrepresentation
An honest man will work for a company that
dishonest methods sell it's product but he need
not look for job Jobs and good jobs looking for
honest men. We have desire to deal with the cheap
crook But we want more evidence the 'men higher
up. Ii any honest man, who has been induced by
those higher up to circulate lie about CAMEL Ciga-
rettes WILL to satisfaction establish that fact will
make it well worth his while, and he will be fully
protected.
To you, Mr.. Smoker, we say, CAMELS ARE PURE
and you know they are DELIGHTFUL.

sKNOCK- THE RED CROSS

1t is hard believe that this late day. and after
all that sad written and accomplished, men
and women of intelligence would knock" the American
Red Cross but such seems to be the case.
1t would be hopeless task to reach these knock
ers in to be effective, and perhaps the effort
is hardly worth while; but in justice to those who are
doing such valuable along Red Cross lines in this
community let it be said again that
The president of the United States is the president
of the American Red Cross
The Red Cross society is incorporated by special
act of congress-;
1t is protected by the treaty of Geneva and is duly
recognized by all foreign governments;
The surgeons general of the and navy depart
rnent are members of the executive committee;
The civilian relief department of the society is
under experienced experts equipped to
families other non-combatants when in
distress;
department safeguard all funds contributed by the
public;
President Wilson in open letter recently said:
"As the president of the American Red Cross branch
commend your confidence and your support" And
in the same letter President Wilson said further:
sit serves so noble and benefcent purpose that
it must appeal to all who love their country and who
love humanity"
Is anything more needed in the way of Endorsement?
