game series here today.
The Yankees are playing the
Chicago White Sox today. They
have won three and lost two games
in their meetings with the White
Hose. Hence the slight edge in
favor Of the Griffs.
Yet this same edge may be Of
little or no value whatever. It is
hardly to be expected that the
Griffs are going to maintain a
margin Of five to one over such a
strong club as Detroit all this
season. On the other hand, the
Yanks might maintain their three
to-two margin over the White Sox,
which would put them in first
place, at least for a time.
The race in this league promises
see-saw exhibition for several
weeks. The team with the most
endurance, or rather the teams
with the most endurance, will pull
away from those lacking pitching
and reserve strength. This pulling
away may not take place until late
next month, or even till September.
Griffs Have Chance.
ATO one can, with an y degree
III Of certainty, pick pennant-
~ winner in July, but it is
possible to pick number Of teams
with chances, whatever they may
be worth. For instance, even now
the Philadelphia Athletics could
win the 1924 pennant with a
brilliant string of victories. They
are not too far behind the leaders.
The fighting Griffs have an
excellent chance to break all base
ball records by winning the Ameri-
can League pennant Of 1924. For
the benefit Of many lads who like
to call UP on the telephone and ask
this question it is here said that
NO WASHINGTON CLUB HAS
EVER WON A MAJOR LEAGUE
REMNANT.
Bucky Harris has an almost
alright infield, or as alright as
any Of them. He has a good field
ing outfield trio, especially since
"Spark Plug" Matthews joined the
club. He has q brilliant, brainy
backstop in Muddy Ruel to take
care Of a fine pitching staff.
When it comes right down to-
brass tacks, pennants are usually
decided by pitching. That's why
the .Griffs have an excellent chance
Of crossing the finish line in first
place next September 80. They
have at least seven capable, ex-
perienced pitchers. No other club
in the league is so well fortified
in this department.
Last year the Yankees boosted
of their "five-star pitching staff"
They had Bush, Pennock, Shawkcy,
Jones and Hoyt all delivering first
class work on the hill. Hoyt,
despite a little in-and-out stuff,
has been the only one Of the five
to make good consistently this
season. In other words, the YanlSs

THE POTATOES RIVAL

If there's a single soul in Noun
tain Home or for many thousand
miles around who doesn't like pota-
toes in some form or another let him
now speak or forever hold his peace.
The fact that the potato has SO many
friends makes an item in a southern
paper of interest, the item being to
the effect that attempts are being
made to introduce into this country
an oriental vegetable known as the
"dasheen, rival of the Irish pota-
to. The south has to import the
bulk of its potatoes from the north
and since the "dasheen" is said to
grow profusely in southern soil there
are many who will welcome its APP
for it in their garden. 1t will also
pearance and who will find place
be favorably received by other sec
tions, since people are always
anxious to greet a new kind of food.
But when 1t comes to replacing the
potato in the heart of American
nothing doing.

GAUDY CLOTHES

We read little article in a daily
recently wherein a woman writer
recommended gaudy clothes to work
ing girls as the means of attracting
a husband, and we could not help
thinking how little the woman writer
must know about men. The husband
of the working girl, or any other
kind of girl, if he is worth catching,
will not be the kind of man who is
attracted by gaudy clothes. A
fiashy outfit may not be unpleasant
to look at on the street, but the fell
low worth while will consider how
the girl will look when she is
dressed for her work about the
house.
We can prove 1t by any woman in
Mountain Home that wife worthy
of the name will have other things
to think about besides clothes after
she is married, and if the gay dress
she wears beforehand is her sole
recommendation there is going to be
a disappointed man and a lot of flu
ture grief for her. Neatness in ap-
pearance is not to be despised, in
fact it is essential after marriage as
well as before. But there are so
many factors entering into marriage
that it is indeed strange a woman,
smart enough TO write for the news
papers, would suggest gaudy dress
as a magnet, Letting a man know
her talents along the housekeeping
line, her ability to sew and cook and |
all that, are far more apt to attract |
good husband than the gaudy dress.
Then, too, the right kind of man
is going to stop to consider whether
he can afford to buy all the gaudy
clothing his wife will expect him to
procure for her.
Anyhow, telling girls how to get
a husband sounds like a waste of
breath. They do not need advice,
and the chances are ninety per cent
of them can make faster progress
along this line than the woman writ
er. They generally get what they
want-and about what they deserve.
If the girl is deceived, the chances
are the man is too. SO it's about
fifty-fifty proposition any way you
look at it.

who knows that advertising pay:
and who doesn't want the paper tc
! go to press without being repre-
scented in its columns. He wants to
advertise, but he admits that he is
far from being an lad writer" He
admits that good copy for his ad-
yertising is a large part OF his sue
ces in business, and he isn't parti-
cular who gets it up so long as it
says what he wants to say, so long as
ii is truthful and interests the pub
lie.
That being the case, here is sug-
gestion for the business men of
Mountain Home. You have goods
to sell, and we have the advertising
space that will sell them. That has
been proven, so there's no room for
argument on that point. You can
sell your goods better if you get your
store the attention of our readers,
and we can sell our ad space better
when we make it pay the buyer
more. We are willing to do our
share if you will do yours. You tell
us what you have to offer you believe
the public wants-just give us the
facts and such prices as you may
want to quote, if any. Wen frame
up an ad. Wen add our knowledge
of people to your knowledge Of peo-
pie and goods, and Wen wager that
both of us will get legitimate pro-
fit out of it.
Think this over and call us in |
while it is still fresh in your mind.
Let's prove that two heads are bet
ter than one. And let's work to-
gether as long as we can pake it
worth while to both of us.
