W* are sorry, indeed, that “White Plains Boy” has made reference to the Ravenna hoys saying: “But he (Rosebud) warned to make some peo- nle believe that Ravenna had a good and quiet set of hoys, but he is mis taken in it." We honestly believe that the Ravenna hoys are just as nice a set of hoys and as clever as you will find in any country. “White Plains Boy,” in reference to the knife, we be lieve has been misinformed, as this is the first time we have heard it. As “White Plains Boy" says nothing gainst his own side, I wonder what he will think when we inform him that actually some little boys even tried to hold one of the RaVenna base run ners. In Conclusion he says: “But if they think it was a ‘bluff game’ they can pick as many men as they wish and name the day and we will meet them on half-way grounds and settle It.” I But, Mr. “White Plains Boy,” we do not have to pick our men. Ours are ill men, and in reference to the "half- vay grounds” we will only say that our ground or tin* White Plains ground, either will he “half way” enough the better place “to settle it,” as Mr. "White Plains Boy” says. But j before White Plains plays Ravenna again they had bettor get a hustling team, as we have as good a Qountry team as our county can afford. I take this as a means in reply to “White Plains Boy.” C. WOMEN AND SOCIETY. MERCHANTS & PLANTERS BANK Fire Insurance and Bonds Written. _ 8 D. C. ROSS. President. *5 1. A. CARROLL, Vice-Prest.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 4.—Mayor Stoy has issued an edict forbidding the fair sex to appear on the beach in cream colored bathing suits. A number of ‘he younger society leaders of Philadelphia and Baltimore who are both fair and shapely, appear ed on the beach in the kind of cos tume tabooed by the mayor. No end of confusion followed immediately, and a crowd of men of all ages gather ed on the board walk. The suits prac tically were transparent. Protests were made by several wo men who do not venture into the surf, and the mayor was moved to issue his edict. It is said he strode down to tho water’s edge with a firm tread and a determined mien. When he drew close to the wearers of th offend ing costumes he partly turned his back, and, clearing his throat a couple of times, began: “Ah. ladies, your costumes are— ah—attractive—ah—I mean pret‘y. and you are doubtless unaware of the sensation you are creating, hut. they :i."i are—h.n- not—well' I'm mayor, and it’s up to me.” “Why, Mr. Mayor!” the fair ones chorused as they clustered around h' m. The mayor, trying to avoid looking it them directly, whirled about a couple of times and said: “(’an t you take ‘hem off?” “Why, Mr. Mayor!” came the in dignant protest. “That is—I mean,” said the mayor hastily “can't you put. something over them or substitute another costume. We cannot permit you to bathe in those.” The truth was out at last, and the mayor hurried away. Later he issued 'he order to the effect that the only bathing suits allowed on the beach would he those of non-transparent, ma terial cut to the proper lenfeth. Miss Maria Dacharme, 182 St. Eliza* both street, Montreal, Gan., writes: “I am satisfied that thousands ot women suffe r because they do not realize how bad they really need treat ment and feel a natural delicacy in con sulting a physician. “I felt badly for years, had terrible pains, and at times was unable to attend 0.,' to my daily duties.

The most s: acious store, the most carefully selected stock of goods, the clever est corps of clerks will not .avail unless people know about them. Knowledge of such things is spread in various ways. A passerby may drop in and be impressed. He may tell his neighbor, and he in turn may tell somebody else. That is one way, and there are some merchants who today think it is good enough. Modern develop ment, however, has sup plied in newspapers the best means. They go into ev ery home in the land, how ever humble, however mag nificent.
