Watch
Your Step

Not all stores nor all manu-
facturers are on an even keel yet
by any means, which accounts for the
wide spread in clothing prices this
season.
You can pay well up toward
the 500 mark if you want to get
rid of that much money. Or you can
pay something less than $50 if you
want that kind Of suit. It's hard
to say which is more extravagant.
But if you want new mer-
chandise good merchandise
at the new price levels, here's one
place, at any rate, where you'll find it,

ed with two bagger, Gray with &
single and Penson hit safely. This
fusilade, with two misses of hot lin
ers through shortstop, netted three
more runs and your old ball game was
sewed up and put on ice.
The Red Sox were as full of pep as
bowl of chill. Penson pitched a
mastery game, Bisbee handled his
curves in fine shape and everybody
was hitting. Lou Otkins played bril-
liantly at third, making two stops of
difficult grounders and pegging so ac-
curately to first as to bring the crowd
ed grandstand to its feet in a burst of
applause. 1t was good old game,
and the same pep and enthusiasm dis
played the rest of the season should
place Emmett in first place.

RED SOx WIN VICTORY
over CALDWELL
Hard Hitting, Coupled With Err

to Locals.

After holding the Emmett Red Sox
scoreless for five innings, the balloon
went up for Caldwell in the sixth and
eighth innings and before it could be
hauled down five scores had been
counted The opposition lacked one
of having a beautiful nest of goose
eggs. This was CaldwelPs second
defeat of the season. CaldwelPs lone
run was made on fuke 1t came in
the second inning. Sherman swung
at wide curve and romped to first
when Bibee dropped the ball. He pill
fered second and sneaked home while
the second and first basemen were
juggling the ball.
Lou Otkins started the Red Sox
scoring in the sixth. A hot one went
through Caldwell's second baseman
and gave Otkins a berth on first.
Brown was caught out on a fly,
Scott's two bagger brought the run
ner home. Gray got safety, scor-
ing Scott.

Infeld Fly

There seems to be considerable con-
fusion as to the rules concerning an
infeld fly, judging by the criticism of
the umpire in Sundays game. The
rule book says: "If, before two hands
are out, while first and second or first,
second and third bases are occupied,
the batter hit fair fly ball, other
than line drive, that can be handled
by an infielder, the batter is put. In
such cases the umpire shall, as soon
as the ball be hit, declare it an infeld
or outfeld hit; but the runners may
be off their bases or advance at the
risk Of the ball being caught. Any
attempt to bunt which results in
fair fly ball shall not be regarded as
an infeld fly, if the bases mentioned
be occupied with less than two out"

hear what brave fellow he was.
In talking to him the first day | call
ed he said: "Why shouldn't / 90 as
well as any one else?" He didn't
seem to be in the least bit afraid,
and | am sure he had no reason to
be, for no one could have done their
part with more courage or better
spirits"
The funeral march from the home
to the cemetery was led by the firing
squad, followed by the hearse with
the pail bearers as guard of honor,
the American Legion post, relatives
and friends. The services at the
grave were brief - few words by
Rev. Lathrop, three volleys from the
rifles of the firing squad over the
grave, and Bugler Geo. Foulk sounded
taps. Thus ended the long journey
of one who bravely and fearIessly
fell in the conflict for world freedom
and liberty.

who halls from the famous Yellow
mountains (Huang Sham says they

horses, goats, boars and an animal re-

and impervious skin-and monkeys.
The monkeys he divided into two
classes, one the ordinary brown
monkey with a tail, the other white
breasted and white faced, with a gray
back and but little smaller than a
man. He intimated that this type
manifested a degree Of intelligence
when spoken to, very much resembled
man, and was tailless.
To this second class belongs what
he called "the Great White Monkey
King" ruler of all the beasts of the
mountains, and described as being
more than twenty feet tall, with arms
ten feet long, four tusks each at least
foot long, a face and eyes proper
tionately large, and a voice that made
the earth tremble whenever it spoke.
He said he had seen this great mon
key king twice-once at a distance of
half a ii, and once when he dropped
down from a high cliff and stood with
in fifteen feet of it. On this occa-
sion the monkey king was attended by
five smaller monkeys.
He attempted to address them,
whereupon they all sat down and gave
respectful hearing. punctuating his re-
marks with asserting grunts which in
