Brolet says '"Three Irishmen and
q French captain could win FIRST
place IN any league.
Captain Charest whispered in
Frank Belanger's ear, I'VE have to
get going this game and win," but
he whispered In the wrong ear. BY
the looks Of Franks scores he didn't
hear a word.

Doc Trombley says "oLok at the

La Russo says: "'Yeah', Well hang

Charley Tronbley says he had TO
laugh at Krause trying to get one
pin spare. Why he might as we'll
have thrown a jelly bean down the
alley.
After "Shiek" Brennan went over
the foul line, Girard yelled to him:
Stay there and will send q taxi
after you"

body rides him.

Harry Byrnes says Its funny to
hear some fellows swear when they
miss a spare leave. He claims they
should get down on their knees and
thank God they got the other nine

Bob Grady, who has been leading
the league practically all season, Is
also near the peak. Points scored by
both tonight will have direct bear
ing on the high scoring title.
Tonight's meeting between the
Gents and Hill Juniors Is the first
Of the season, although they were
scheduled to meet during the first
round. The first game was cancelled
due to standing Of the teams In the
firstfirst round. The first round,
much to the disappointment Of both
clubs, for 1t is their aim to establish
which is the better team. Both
teams have numerous hackers and
the cheering section Is expected to
be almost as colorful as the game

Up Go Prices Next Fall?

This is your cue to buy now-to avoid delaying
until autumn-because prices then, even at this
store, will be substantially higher. We hope
you'll grasp this opportunity to become better
acquainted. Frankly, it's the only way you can
beat rising prices during this and the coming
season.

Q 1t is the purpose Of this advertisement to
make the men Of our town aware Of a trend
"a price trend which may cost them many
wasted clothing dollars and to show them
how to avoid this loss.
The fact is that clothing prices are going up
advancing SO rapidly, indeed, that many
authorities predict a general retail increase of

other manufacturing costs throughout the

Once Was Too Much

THERE should be no ground in America on which
i the seed of internatonalism dropped by Raymond
Laurent, mayor of Paris during his recent visit can
sprout
Discussing the possibility of war in Europe he-oh,
charming ly-sad:
''There is no danger Of so long as the great de-
mocracies of the word-America France and England
stick together"
Sounds good, doesn't it,
Yes, and there's the danger.
There's the danger that too many Americans will
forget that sticking together sticking U.s."
We were stuck once, weren't we?
We went out to save the word' and presented
with the bill.
If America is going to stick to anything let it stick
to this continent to American ideals and to the unyied
ing determination that if the heart of the world" is
about to break again won be caught in the explosion
America can keep the peace, all right. 1t can keep
AMERICAS peace.
But it keep neither the peace, it's men nor its
power by pledgng itself in advance to any European
freefor-all.
That may seem harsh reply to the words of a dis
tinguished visitor.
But it is far better than possible future telegram
from the War Department telling an American mother
that her son is dead on some European battlefield.
