A little moonshine, a few bad
plays, and Kewpie Clow's phe
nomenal pitching made too strong
a combination for the locals and
one lone run was all for us.
Cochran first up for lone sing
led and stole a base and scored
on Drake's single. Roberts struck
out and Roach was out 5-3.
The blow up came in the sixth
after lone had held the visitors
scoreless and with but three hits
thru five innings. Parrish was
safe when the ball was dropped
at first, Ortman singled, It Fitz
out 4 3, and Brown was safe
while the ball was being juggled;
C. Kit on error at short, Miller
singled, Wilkins flied to center
and Wheir was out 13. During
the airplane Bpin Condon put four
men across on two hits. Clow,
first up in the 7th fanned, Parr
ish was hit by pitcher, Ortman
fanned, R. Fitz on by error, Vic
Brown singled; C. Fitz. fanned;
Condon two more scores on but
one hit. --- - -

FitTcosts more not to
paint than to paint
FIGURE it out for yourself. A
little money, now, to save the
surface of your home and build
ings, or a considerable sum of
money for repairs and replace- ;
ments which? ;
Un pain ted surfaces leave the field clear
for rain, wind and sun to do their damage.
Ramshackle houses and out-buildings, once
so new and storm-tight, gaping comer
boards, warped and rotting window frames,
all directly result from failure to paint.
Either yon hare to go in for expensive re
pairs, or let the entire building investment
go. How much better and cheaper it would
be to keep the buildings painted I
The cost of even slight repairs on your
home or buildings won ' practically pay for
repainting them entirely. It is a good thing
for every property owner to know, and
heed, that a coat of paint stands between him
mad serious loss.
Paint now with good paint
Paint with Rasmussen Pure Paint The
coat will be trivial compared to the protec
tion it will give against rot, rust, and general
deterioration.
Look over your property all of it, and
do it now. Then come in and talk over
your paint troubles with us. We have Ras
mussen Paints and Varnishes in stock- and
we recommend them.
