LOTS FOR SUMMER HOMES
II. W. Haas Disposing of Number
Fine Building Lots Near His
Country Home

Summer homes in one of the finest
localities in this section is the latest
investment by a number of DEBORAH
people, a number of lots having been
purchased from II. w. Haas, near his
home at the edge of the city limits,
north of the twin bridges. This
property was formerly the late Chas.
FERN home and was always con-
sidered one Of the pretty places of
the county. Mr.. Haas purchased the
property a number of years ago and
has made his home there.
Recently he was approached by
some who wished 20 buy lots and
erect summer homes, so he sold
several, and has set aside six or
eight more for sale. The location
is an ideal one for a summer home.
Beautiful shade trees adorn the place
and the distance from the heart of
the city is only a few minutes walk.
Mr.. Haas can be located at the
butcher shop of Haas, Bollinger e.
GOltz on West Water street and
will give any prospective purchaser
any information concerning these
lots.

The Man Who Accommodates You


When you happen TO be short of
cash, and you want some clothing
or some groceries in a hurry, and
you must have credit for them, what
DO you do? Why, you go to local
merchant, and he accommodates you.
You would not think Of writing TO
mail order house, which would have
to investigate your credit, nor to a
city store, which would make you
pay your account on the first of the
month, accepting no offs" or cans.
Well when you are flush with money
and need something, why not go to
your local merchant and return the
compliment he extended to you? He
was willing to take chance with
your word when you needed that
chance, and you should be willing to
give him a chance, and you should
be willing to give him a chance to
make little money when you have
some to spend. Treat him like a
good neighbor, and you will have a
clearer conscience and better stand
ing in your community.

THIS is the particular week of the
- year when, as an aftermath of the
football season, sports writer's all over
the country are indulging in the utterly
meaningless but harmless and diverting
task of selecting "All-America" elevens
Why not lineup of what might be termed
the AllAmerica football stories of the
autumn of 1922? To start the ball roll
ing this department suggests as two very
good football stories of the season Mr..
Lawrence Perry's The Winning Play"
appearing in the November Red Book,
and Mr.. Wadsworth Camps THE Victor"
which ran through two recent numbers
of Golfers Weekly. OF course the per-
feet football story is as rare as the per-
feet end or the perfect quarterback. and
each of the tales mentioned has its per-
reptible flaw. "The Winning Play" as
was pointed out in previous issue of
the book section, involved a curious
blunder; and "The Victor" was obvious
ly intended as propaganda; all be it
propaganda of very healthy sort.
H,VERY now and then some person
with taste for both literature and
American football offers an "All-Fiction"
eleven, picking out his favorite brawny
heroes of the story teller's creation and
assigning them to places along an
imaginary line and in an imaginary back
field. Although the matter is not ex-
actly one of cosmic Importance, word
as to the ultimate source of the whimsi-
cality. The first "All-America" eleven
was picked by Mr. Walter Camp in 1889.
The first "All-Fiction" eleven appeared
in print just ten years later in the issue
of the BOOkmdn for November, 1899 1t
was to meet the requirements of game
very different from the open football of
to-day that the writer of 1889 selected
his lineup. Then there were no forward
passes, and no neutral zone, and far less
need for consideration of the qualifica-
tions best adapted to the subtleties of the
secondary defense.
