J'lic (liistuniu team came to
Franklin Saturday for two games,
and the locaj kins were treated
to some real baseball, especially
on Sunday. .
"J lie Saturday afternoon yame
was hotly contested and resulted
in a score of 9 to 7 in favor of
Franklin. Nichols and lligdon
weie nil llie mound for the locals
and did fine work, and Munlony
and Russell slannned out' home
runs. John Wayne, irum Otto CL'C

seiviiid . while Kalph lirysou tover
cd first in great style in place of
Gaud lJuvall, who was unable to
gel away from his. work for Satur
day's game.
Sunday's game was a pitcher's
battle that gave-the cash custom
ers more than their money's worth.
John Wayne, who played second
Saturday, was ni the box for
Franklin', and he had everything
necessary, lie was never in trou
ble during the entire game and
seemed stronger at the finish than
at the start. ,lu addition, he lined
out a three-bagger, and seemed in
a fair way tu win his own game,
but a home run by Gastonia broke
a 1 to 1 lie, and the final sc-ore
was 2 to 1.
(iastonia got six hits and Frank
lin five, and the fielding oii both
.sides was big league still I, in spite
of the soggy field. Tysinger for
Franklin made one of the most
spectacular catches in the loulfield
ever seen on the local diamond..-
The dastonia pitcher was a fair
match for Wayne, and the Frank
lin baiters had tough going when
they faced him':
The Gastonia team is composed
of line young men who are al
ways welcome here. They enjoy
trine tj- th mountain; and
are coming again on September 10
two games.

DANGEROUS
More persons are killed in the
course of farm work than in any
other industry, reveals the 1939
edition of Accident Facts.
STABLE
Timber prices in 1938 were more
stable than prices of farm pro
ducts in general, according to price
compilations just published by the
U. S. Forest Service.
USING LIME
Transylvania county farmers have
received over 2,000 tons of lime
stone through the AAA program
this year, as well as a large sup
ply through other sources.
Called to service by an arming Britain, these soldiers part of 30,000 young men between 18 and 21 years
of age gaily walk into London's Waterloo railroad station, bound for their various camps and barracks. They
form the vanguard of 200,000 conscripted militiamen who were babies shortly after the World war ended, and
are an integral part of Britain's preparedness campaign.

CORRECTION
In the account of the reunion of
the children of Mrs. L. E. Smith
which was printed last week the
names of Mr. Guy Buchanan and
family were inadvertently omitted
from the list of those present.
ADEQUATE
For such major crops as wheat,
corn, cotton, and tobacco, the AAA
program aims for supplies that will
be ample for domestic consump
tion, the export market, and ade
quate reserves.

Here's What Ladies Expect
An Advertisement to Tell Them
"Where Can I Buy It?"
Naturally, one of the first things I want to know about some
thing I see in an ad is where can I buy it? It; isn't simply a
matter of convenience and of saving time in planning my shop
ping either! No, the name of the merchant, itself, often decides
whether I buy or not. Invariably, you see, I give preference to
Stores ' whose ads I see regularly and often I know the stores
must have good value or they couldn't go on advertising year
'after year !
What Will It Do For Me?"
I find it so much easier to make up my mind when the ad tells
me the facts about the merchandise! What is it? What will it do?
How will it help me? Why do I need it? I want to know about
(color, weight, texture, material, style I enjoy reading those
things and I usually buy from the merchants who tell them to me.
How Much Is The Price?"
Of course not all ads mention the price, but if an item has been
marked down I want to know from how much. So many sale ads
say "Was Higher how much higher? I want to know how much.
1 am saving and I want the chance of deciding for myself if the
item is a real value or not. 1 have more confidence in the store
that is consistently truthful and buy from such a store regularly
and my husband says an old customer is worth three new ones
. 'because new ones cost additional money to get !

Spending Most Of Them Help You To Make Wise Savings, Too.
