H|[LSDALE Gets
ANOTHER DEFEAT
ALMA STOPS LAST MINUTE RAJ.
Lf STAGED BY COACH
RENNiE'S MEN.

Coach Campbell's fighting aggre
cation, reduced to minimum Of six
men, Journeyed to Hillsdale Friday
and took the measure Of the Blue and
Whife clan by Il 1920 score. The
game for the most part wasn't as
close as the score would indicate, as
the Hillsdale five made a squirt in the
last few minutes of play. Alma was
lacking her veteran center, Shaver, as
well as Soderstrom, TIE scrappy lit
tie forward. On the other hand,
Coach Rennie had almost an entirely
new team on the floor, and most of
the men who played at Alma in the
former game against the Maroon and
Cream We're on the side lines. Reece,
Hillsdale's highest scorer, was re-
centyl requisitioned from the Jackson
McGraws, and the other men were OF
good caliber.
Alma quickly gained a good lead,
and throughout the first half was
never in danger. Crittenden played a
stellar game at guard as usual, and
was ably helped by Beam. Kirker
made a beautiful basket from the
middle of the floor, the ball never
touching the hoop. Johnston was the
high scorer for Alma, making in all
five counters. The first half ended
with the score 1877 in Ama's favor.
The Maroon and Cream continued the
lead in the second half, and Wright
was substituted for Johnston. With
only four minutes left to play, Hills
dale rallied, and Peece, favored with
an accurate eye plus plenty of good
fortune, tossed in four baskets in rap
id succession from the center Of the
floor. The score was now twenty all,
with only half minute to play. The
Hillsdale crowd was on its feet yell
ing for another basket, when the ball
was slipped to Carly who saved the
day with a perfect shot from the
corner. Hillsdale failed to score in
the remaining three seconds of play
Through a peculiar arrangement Of
games, Hillsdale will rank third place
in the NJ, /. A. A. standings accord
ing TO percentages. This puts Alma
fourth, in spite Of the fact that she
has trounced Hillsdale twice. Alma
has played the strongest teams in
the association, and consequently has
suffered more defeats than Hillsdale
which has played neither Ypsilanti
nor Kalamazoo.

rUST what advertising means in the distrbu-
ton of a company's branded product is
known to many statesmen. Their viewpoints
- may range from tolerance to friendliness, but
few Of them really understand basic principles.
Consequently, national advertisers constantly
on the alert to discover methods that will prove
effective in emphasizing the value of advertising
TO the salesman. Sometimes particular sales
man is picked for conversation, the facts of his
experience of course becoming common property
later on. This was done by the Everwear Hosiery
Company, of Milwaukee, c. M. Harrison tells
about it in Printers Ink Monthly.
IAN assortment Of Everwear hosiery-the reg
ular we-known branded advertised kind-was
packed in attractive boxes under the name of
Progressive. The makeup name was given
little display as possible The boxes were about
the same size as those containing the branded
hose and had certain physical characteristics to
make them quite similar in other respects. In
other words, here were a number of boxes Of the
highest grade of Everwear hose packed in way
that would keep their identity a secret.
"Ihen the star salesman was called in off his
route.
Blank the sales manager told him, you
have said that our prices were too high and that
they were kept that way by advertising. You
have said that the advertising did not help you in
your selling. Now then, you can sell hose. You
have proved that. So here is what we have DONE
"The salesman then told that the company
had made up some good hose under an unknown
name which it was going to permit him to go out
and sell at lower price. He notstold that
the hose were Of the Everwear brand. Did he
want to try the thing out and see what he could
do with it?
"'Do | want to try it? he shouted oh, man.
Just let me have those hose in a hurry. Can |
sell them? Well you just watch me-
BLANK enthusiastic as he packed up his
samples that afternoon, ready to leave on one Of
the night trains His sales for months had been
around $500 per week. To try out the new deal

he was assigned to another territory. He not
only going to break his sales record, but also
was going to make good on his oft-repeated con-
tenton that the advertising did not amount to so
much after ALL At the end of a week Blank had
sent in orders for exactly $24 worth OF the
hose. He wired to come in. The sales man
ager was inclined to make excuses for him.
~ guess it was hardly fair to you to send you
out ON new territory the manager said. Ma
turally. you need little time to get acquainted
before you can begin to make much Roadway in
sales. Suppose, then, that you start out Sunday
night as usual and see what you can do with this
proposition among your regular customers
BLANK was elated again and went out deter
mined TO do or die. He didn't die But his sales
for the week amounted to exactly $21.0 Anoth
wire requested that he visit the house at once
when he got in he was full of fight. Without
waiting to hear any reproaches he accused the
Everwear people Of putting up job on him.
In the first place. he told them, you gave me
a rotten, good-for-nothing hose to sell. The best
salesman in the world couldn't sell piece of trash
like that. 1t looks all right, but it is no good. |
can sell good hose. That you know. If you would
give me some decent merchandise, could go out
under this plan and bring you in some orders that
would surprise YOU.
''The sales manager smiled in a knowing way
All right Blank he said, you go back
to selling good hose next week if you like. Take
your old route and good luck go with you
after all the principal statesmen had been Of
fered the new hose and each had turned it down.
one Of the Everwear officials delivered himself of
a little sermon on the subject of advertising and
why the statesmen should get behind it. 1t is en-
tirely unnecessary to quote his remarks
1T is betraying no confidence however, to say
that the Everwear statesmen devout be-
levers in advertising where they either
openly scoffed or were indifferent. They have seen
both sides of the proposition in an intimate way,
and the lesson they learned is one likely to remain
with them

WELLINGTON

Mrs. l.. J. Reed has as guest, her friend, Mrs. TryOn, of New Haven. On Sunday evening Pastor Allen is to deliver a Memorial day address at Memorial church South Wilmington. There will be appropriate music.
 At the LOomis Naples, home of Miss Pauline Chalker, now teaching in Bristol, there were from that city eight young lady guests for the week. end.
 Mrs. Frank Fuller, who has been for several weeks, visiting her sister, Mrs. G. B. Robbins, has returned to her home in Marlborough, much improved in health.
 Did you notice the marvellous rain bow after the bOuntiful dOwn-pour of Friday afternoon, one complete un- broken prismatic arch with the sun shining through a veil of misty rain?
 Miss Helen Robinson took the first train south Monday morning en-route for her home in Elizabeth, N. J. She plans to- pass the month of June in Asbury Park with her invalid mother.
 Pastor Allen is most thoughtful in taking -Hill-folk in his car to events II terchange promotes harmony and 'Community spirit in our church and one pastor, in union there is strength.
 All interested will please bear in mind that the Decoration day exer- cises are to be held in the Cemetery Dell, near the state road, at ten o'clock in the morning, to which all are cor dially invited, and that there will be no exercises on the Hill this year. No parade and no exercises in the afternoon.
 The instructive services under the auspices of the Y. M. c. A., Pastor Allen in charge on Sunday afternoon, held enhanced interest from the fact that Joseph Mirtl, who has belonged to the Bible school and choir since childhood, now of Wesleyan Universi- ty was one of the speakers.
 The swamp hOneysuckle, or azalia, is very plentiful and of unusual beauty this spring. It was noticeable on Sun day that it showed it's pink loveliness in nearly every one of the many cars that passed. However it is not easy to pull up by the roots, as is the May flower, and breaking the brittle stems promotes growth, as pruning by cut ting the tops increases the bloom clusters of the laurel, our state flower, and universal favorite, if lacking the fragrance of the swamp pink.
 There are some old residents in town, and in the borough, who will re- call Edwin F. Kent, born in East Will lington, 72 years ago; He passed his youth here, and in his young manhood worked at the Springs. Later he went to Mohegan, where he was married July 4th, 1875, to Leetta M. Studley by the Rev. John Davies. By trade he was fancy decorator and painter and for twenty years was employed
