We waited nine days for che coming

an episode occurred as a result Of

made no reply, but seated himself up
on the rocks. For a little there was

"Oh," / burst out, that is all you

me? Don't you suppose it hurt me,

"No," he made deliberate answer.

1T is a great mistake, Dugald Shaw,

There was silence for a while, the

At this | raised my head from its
westinghouse and laughed.

And indeed that is a charge I'll not
allow-that ] am so little of a man as
to let my counting be done for me.
No, no, it vas my love compelling you

Why | Use Advertising
AS My Buying Guide

keeper who handles advertised articles sells
more goods and it isn't hard for me to figure
out that if the dealer wants to make only
fair profit he an sell me goods cheaper if
he sells a great many goods than if
he sells a smaller amount. CONFIDENTLY |
have noticed that dealers who do handle aric-
les which are advertised seem to grow and
expand.
l have often wondered if it isn't because the
goods which they see on their own shelves
remind them constantly Of the forward-looking
work which is being done by the manufacturer
of those goods, thus setting an example for
greater industry
know that if want to buy a barrel of
flour or very large sack of flour | can buy 1t
cheaper than l can buy ten or twenty-five
pound sack. My storekeeper can do the same
thing in buying his merchandise. | have heard
my husband talk often enough ON the question
of small profits and rapid turnover to know
that it isn't the dealer who makes the long
profit that gets ahead but the one who makes
the small profit and turns his capital over and
over. But this is not the only benefit ] get in
buying from a storekeeper who sells his Gus
toners goods which are advertised. The goods
| buy are fresher and newer and l feel that
because many of them have been advertised
for years they are more dependable.
For how could people continue to buy them
if they were not? And how could the manu-
facturers continue to advertise them if hey
did not buy?

brought the crowd to their feet.

the length of the floor for a goal
only to be stopped by the demon
like dive Of Conner. f. Fernald
and Dumas were fouled for push
ing, each tallying.
Dumas snatched the ball from
the tossup and shot from the mid
die of the floor, the nutmeg
settling through the meshes for
another Scaletown point. After Il
wonderful exhibition of floor work
by Burns and H. Fernald the per-
iod ended with the score Company

THIRD PERIOD
The third period opened with
each team playing tight. Both gave
clever exhibition of passing, stall
ing for the time when they could
break through the opposing de-
fence for tally. Both were foul
ed several times for mixing it up
too strenuously. II. Fernald was
the only one who scored from a
foul and this was called illegal by
referee Kanney, the player being
out of bounds. Each team threw
discretion to the winds and piled
into the scrimmage in a manner
that made the fans hysterical.
Burns made a beautiful one
handed shot, but the iinx were
against him and it rolled out. Both
teams tailed from double fouls.
Goslant made a great attempt at
a goal but this also rolled out. H.
Fernald again demonstrated his
ability as a crack shot when he
arched in a beauty from the mid
die of the floor tying the score at

From all sides came commands,
entreaties, and Imploring for the
locals to score.
