Three of the old LuG,range stars
took part in the benefit gume played
in Atlanta September 1!). They
were "Buddy" Williumson, Bill Wuld-
ron and Sid Holland and all three
proved to be stars in the game and
received favorable mention in the
Atlanta papers.
“Buddy” pitched a feature game,
allowing only tivu hits and not a
single free pass. Besides this he
fanned six batters and handled one
put-out and four asists without an
error. The Atlanta Journal wrote
the game up in "do Koichor Lingua"
and Ims the following to say about
the LaGrange twirler:
"And dey ain’t no flies on dat boy
Williamson neither, dat dey calls
“Bubber." Die “Bubber" wuz a pitch
er for l.orgrunge dis season, and if
be coulda got 'em over ull de time for
dem bushers like he did Saturday, ne
woulda come mighty near puttin' dat
league on de bum. Dey got to him
in jest one innin’, and scored one
run. which was enough to win wit' de
way Lybertson was goin\ but de
game “Bubber” pitched woulda lnnd-
ed him de winner nine times out ten.
Tommy Long busted him for two hits,
but den jest look who Tommy is. Dat
guy hit more’n .300 in do league, so
why wouldn't he hit dat kid. But at
dat "Bubber” sawed him on his llrs’
time up."
Sul Holland played on the team
opposing “Buddy” and it does not
reflect any dishonor upon him to state
that he did not secure a hit. He
played second base in his usual style,
securing three put-outs and four as
sists without a single bobble. The fol
lowing is clipped from The Atlanta
Constitution about Sid:
“Splendid fielding, in which Sid
Holland, at second base, led, featured
tbr play ing. He puller! several
spectacular catches at the keystone.”
Bill Waldron was lined up with
“Buddy” and his record in the game
speaks for itself. Out of four times
at bat Bill secured two of the five
hits for his side and has three as
sists without an error credited to him.

Prayer Submitted
For The World
By Dr. Frank Crane.
From The Atlanta Journal.
President Wilson has issued a pro
clamation calling upon the people of
the United States to pray for the
peace of Europe, und setting the duy
of Sunday, October 4, as the date
for such concerted petition.
For the assistance of any who may
care to use it, V submit the follow
ing prayer for the world:
Almighty Gpd, Thou art He that
ruleth the heavens, the earth, and the
hearts of men.
Forgive the sins of pride, or ha
tred, und of anger, of which the world
is guilty. . .
Teach us to love justice and not
power, service and not rule, helpful
ness and not rivalry.
Enlighten the minds of the people,
so that they will not allow the few
to dispose of the lives of the many.
Bring about the triumph of govern
ment by the people, of the people, and
and for the people all over the earth.
Cure the curse of class and caste
and establish in nations’ councils the
valu'e of every human soul.
Rebuke and renfovc them that an-
vise war, glory in war, and make in
struments for war.
Hasten the day of world federation
and co-operation.
May there speedily be but one army
and one navy, to keep the wori* ,1
peace, and may all nations ground - |
arms. , ,
Reveal to me that the enfeebling
or the destruction of one nution works
harm to all, and that the prosperity
of one is the prosperity of all.
Destroy race hatred and revenge,
ami teach the nations to esteem each
other.
So bring home to men s bosoms
tho crime, tho folly, und tho waste of
wur that they muy allow no nation
to prepure for it.
May men obey always and every
where Thy! command, "Thou shult
not kill!"
Remove those dead ideas and life-
loss old beliefs that chain the world
to the stupidity of militarism.
Destroy all passions that separate
nations, and bring them into mutuul
love. , , ,
Comfort and bless the wounded and
sick, the widows and orphans, the
ruined and desolate, victims of the
world’s great crime.
Forgive this wicked and ignorant
world. Almighty God, end soon this
war, and so lead us into common
sense that we shall never have anoth
er.
Let humanity and justice so pre
vail that all men and nations every
where shall work for and with each
other; then
"Shall all men’s good
Be each man’s rule, and universal
, peace.
Lie like a shaft of light across the
land.
And like a lane of beams athwart the
sea,
Thro’ aii the circle of the golden
year.”

When the United States was in the
throes of civil war a line conspiracy
was hatched among European mon-
archs to set Maximilian up in the
emperor business in Mexico in dis
regard of the moment. Uncle Sam
said he would attend bo that little
matter later, which he subsequently
did, whereupon Maximilian's Mexican

little game later.—Omaha Bee.

he Troth about Paint
The value of paint can only be measured by the length of satisfactory service h gives.
A building painted with Keg Lead and Oil Hand-mixed Paint or ordinary ready-
mixed paint never looks well, and the results from this class of paint are never satisfactory.
In a short while your property will look as if it had not been painted for years.
To use cheap paint is a waste of both paint and iabor.
Don’t waste your money on unknown, untested brands.
Remember, painting is an investment, not an expense—therefore use the paint that
stood the test of time—
