Listen to what Herman Roanfleld,
advertising manager of Sears, Robnok
& Co. recently told the members of
the American Ad Glob at a conven
tion: "We have a bureau whose dnty It is
to read each week the oonotry news
papers from all over the country.
There ia not a paper of any oonse
qoenoe in oar territory that oar ba
lean does not get. This bnrean looks
over the paper and when we Bad a
tcwn where the merchants are not ad
vertising In the looal caper, we imme
diately flood the tnrritoiy with our lit
er a tora. It always brings results far
in exoess of the same where the looal
merchants all the time nse their local
paper,"
Conld we And a stronger argnment
as to the need of advertising by the
looal merchants?
Ihe road of the professional dead-
beat ia getting more and more dilBoalt
' to travel. This is as it should be. The
quicker be la put ont of bnsinesa the
better for all concerned. We notioe
that in several Valley towns they are
making it pretty uncomfortable for
the fellow who makes no attempt to
pay bis bills, by the merchants club
bing together and baying epaoe in the
newspapers in whloh they advertise
the acoonnts for sale, giving the names
of tbe debtors and the amounts owed.
After his name is pulliahed io this
way we Imagine it la pretty bard for
Mr. Deadbent to get any farther ored

where they do not know him.

It is gratifying to note the inclination
of properly owners to improve homes

ATHENA TAKES FIRST GAME
The East End base ball leagne sea
son waa anspioioaely nshered in San
day afternoon at Athena with 28 bits
and 83 runs. Result: Adams 15 Ath
ena 17. For the Bret three innings
it did look as though the Adams lads
were tbe real smear and that Carl
Christian, veteran manager and the
Oomineky of tbe leagne, held the game
in bis weasel-skin bat not yet. After
the three ewfal semesters in wbiob
Adams garnered three lasty singles,
an infield poke and four slashing two
bagger fur 11 inns. ' Poo" Sharp and
his assistants boiled down and with a
persistent, consistent eSort proceeded
to rake the game out of tbe Are. From
then on it was better going and the
team as a whole showed spurts of base
ball speed that indioated with a little
more practice, the boys will put np a
ball game.
Athena soored one in the seaoud in
ning bat in the tbiid she fell on La
Fare for font bits and aided by a con-
pie of errors, two passed balls, a base
on balls and Wall bit by pitober, sbv
en runs were netted. With the open
Ing of tbe fourth inning Mgr. Comin
sky Christian derrloked LaFave and
motioned Lienallen to tbe mound. He
obeoked the sooring in tbe fourth and
tittb, bat in tbe sixth be allowed a
oonple of two baggers and a single,

errors, let him down for six rone, af

eighth stanzas. lie groved one to
Lienallen who promptly snubbed it for
three bases, Post followed with a sin
gle, atter Grant was on by virtOH of
an error and taking seoond on a passed
ball, scoring Lienallen and tbe lanky
Urst baseman. Three bits allowed
one run to Alter over for Adama in tbe
eighth.
Adama began to got Sharp again in
the eighth, when i two-ply aunt, a
single and an intleld bit spioed witb a
passed ball, allowed two runs, and in
tbe ninth pinob bitters ao enlivened
the oooasioa that three more runs
were made. Soore by innings:
