BRAVES CINCH
TOP POSITION
Giants Chances of Regaining
Lead Seem Poor Unless
Their Pitchers Do Much Bet
ter Work.
New York.—Boston clinched its grip
on first place in the National League
race last week and now holds the
lead by an even two-game margin over
New York.
The Braves defeated the Giants two
games in three and won enough addi
tional games ' front Philadelphia to
bring their playing rate for the week
up to the .667 mark. Meanwhile the
Giants, losing five out of nine, were
playing only at a .444 clip.
The Giants’ chances of regaining lost
ground seems poor unless their pitch
ers do much better work. Marquard
has failed to win even one of his last
ten games, and Demaree has been of
little use all season. Tyler of Boston
was hit hard his last time out, but
James and Rudolph are pitching well,
while Davis, a recruit, seems to be a
find that will help the pennant chances
*f Stallings’ men appreciably.
St. Louis and Chicago are having
a pretty struggle for third places with
the advantage on the side of the Car
dinals. Their double victory over Cin
cinnati Sunday put them within 2 1-2
games of the Giants and one game
ahead of Chicago.
Boston cut into Philadelphia's lead
'in the American League race last
week, bqt the Red Sox still are 7 1-2
games from the world’s champions.
. .Indianapolis, after holding undisput
ed leadership in the Federal League
for several weeks, struck a period of
hard going in Baltimore while the re
juvenated Chicago team, taking a dou
ble-header from Buffalo Saturday and
two games again Sunday, clambered
once more into the lead. Chicago now
is ahead with 73 games won and 53
lost to Indianapolis’ 72 and 69.

' INCONTESTABLE' IS WORD USED
AT JOFFRE ON ALLIES VICTORY
Advance of French-Eritish Continues Across the River
Aisne. Berlin Official Statements Warn the People That
Certain Reverses May be Expected.
London, 10:10 a. m—’‘lncontestable”
is the adjective used by General Jof
fre, commanded-in-chief of the
French forces, in describing the vic
tory of the allies along the western
battle front. The latest official com
munication from Paris indicates that
the advance is continuing all along
the line with the allies’ left wing now
across the Riyer lisne.
Of Vaguest Sort.
But little news and that of the
vaguest sort, filtered through from
Germany and it is evident from the
tone of Berlin official statements that
the people are being warned not to
be too optimistic as certain reverses
may be expected. The latest actual
battle news In Berlin describes a sor
tie from Paris on September 6th,
which it is stated, has been repulsed.
Dispatches from many sources, in
cluding Vienna, indicate that the
Austrian army in Galicia is in sore
straits but the story of its complete
destruction is evidently exaggerated,
as the latest Russian reports indicate
that General Ruzsky’s forces are still
meeting with organized resistance.
In a Trap.
It is evident, however, that the Aus
trian center was crumpled up while
the left wing was hurled into the
marshes of the River San. This left
wing, composed of the flower of the
Austrian troops may be caught in a
trap making unconditional surrender
the alternative destructive.
BUT LITTLE COTTON COULD BE
BOUGHT FOB 8 CENTS ON MONDAY
‘‘Buy a Bale” Mo "ment and General Holding Movement
Helping Wonderfully and Cotton Men Are Optimistic.
Over Two Thousand Bales Received Saturday.
On Monday cotton was in good de
mand in Augusta at 8 cents per pound
for middling. Not much could be pro
cured at that price.
One dealer said that cotton could
not be bought in any considerable
quantity for less than 8 1-8 or 8 1-4
cents.
The “buy-a-bale” movement and the
general holding movement on the part
of the farmers has done much to help
the market. The cotton men are. de
cidedly optimistic over the situation,
although they refuse to predict what
the immediate future will bring forth
in the way of advanced prices. Ali
are hopeful, however, that cotton will
continue to go up.
On Saturday Augusta received 2,437
bales of cotton. It was by far the
biggest day since the season started
The total number of new bales re
ceived to date is 17,388. This is about
5,000 less than had been received tha
same date last year.

The official statement given out in

than risk the turning of his left flank
by the Germans.
Served Its Purpose.
The Belgian mobile force has re
turned to its Antwerp base with the
official explanation that it has served
its purpose in preventing German re
inforcements from joining the army
in France. This force operated for
four days in the Brussels-Louvaln-
Mallnes triangle, forcing the Germans
to abandon much of that portion of
Belgium. In connection with this
movement it is reported that the Bel
gians are cutting German communi
cations. Other sources declare that
the Belgians were compelled to return
because the Germans were strongly
reinforced from Liege.
To Burn Brussels.
The retirement is said also to have
been expedited by a threat to burn
Brussels.
Italy is still preserving neutrality,
but has joined the Triple Entente am
bassadors in a protest against the
revocation of the capitulations by
Turkey.
Austria evidently fears hostile
action on the part of Italy, according
to newspaper reports from Rome for
feverish efforts are being made to
fortify Trieste against attack and the
coast in that vicinity is being mined.

PUG AND THE CRAB.
(By Virginia Vale.)
One a upon a time Fred and Clara
went out on the beach to catch crabs.
They dug among the rocks and as they
found them laid them on the dry sand
and covered them with wet seaweed.
Clara said if you did that they could
not crawl away while you looked for
more.
They had gone quite a little way
from the spot where they had left
the crabs and were coming back with
more when Fred caught sight of some
thing digging near where they had
left their crabs.
"Look, look, Clara," said Fred. "1
believe that Is a dog digging up our
crabs.”
They ran to the spot and there was
a little dog with a crab hanging on
to Ills front paw. The dog was Jump
ing and barking and it was sometime
before they could get his paw free.
The dog had dug at the seaweed and
nearly all the crabs had crawled away.
Fred was very angry but Clara only
laughed and patted the little dog.
When the children sturted for home
the dog trotted along behind and al
though the children tried to send it
back it wouldn’t go.
As no owner for the dog could be
found the children were allowed to
keep him and they named him Pug.
Pug and the children would go to
the bead) each day to play, but Pug
would always run when ths children
found a crab and showed It to him
and the children said that he hadn’t
forgotten how It hurt when the crab
bad hold of his paw and he didn’t
want it to happen again.
I think he was a very wise dog,
don’t you?

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
Copyrighted, 1914. American Society
for Thrift.
HINTS FOR THRIFTY BUYING.
How many housekeepers who buy
a 12-cent ran of peas or a 16-cent
can of tomatoes know the quantity of
food the cans contain? Sometimes the
xcontonts of a can Is sufficient for
two meals for a small family, some
times it will barely serve one meal.
The size of the can Is not a correct
key to tile amount of vegetable or
fruit It contains as one-thtrd of it
may be water. Neither can the buyer
make an estimate by Its weight which
may be caused by an excess of water
or a heavy can or solder.
Fifteen-rent cans of tomatoes have
been found to vary In amount of
liquid from twelve ounces to eighteen
ounces, and In weight of solid toma
toes from sixteen ounces to twenly
ono ounces making the actual cost
for the vegetables contained in a flf
teen-oent can run all the way from
eight cents l» fifteen cents per pound.
A can of corn will sometimes tie full
to tlm brim, at other times it will lie
two-thirds full. Different brands
vary In the quantity of their contents,
and different cans of the same brand
at the same prleo dlffere In quantity.
The need that Thrift Committees
he organized In every city, that among
other things the canned goods may bo
reported on for the benefit of con
sumers in general, Is well shown by
the disclosures made where tests have
been conducted carefully. It is easy
to see that a testing bureau for Thrift
Committee would find plenty of use
ful work in this line. President t 4. VV.
Straus, in a recent bulletin summariz
ing the work of Thrift Committees,
suggested the systematic investiga
tion of goods that are sold by local
merchants, preventing short weight
and short measures; advocating per
sonal marketing and cash inlying, and
In fact, a first-class, personal knowl
edge of the leakages and remedies
therefor.
The Journal of Home Economics
comments on these facts as follows:
“This sort of buying Is extravagant
and may well have some relation to
the high cost of living.

Straight Dealer Talk
R. H. Durbin, the advertising manager of one of
the largest and most successful department stores in
the country recently addressed a meeting of buyers in
New York.
He made a strong plea to local merchants to sup
port the manufacturers who adverstise in newspapers.
Such national advertising, Mr. Durbin declared,
should inspire the retailer to come out and say I carry
“such and such a product.”
Mr. Durbin gave this advice to the buyers:
“Do not forget that the goods you have ih
stock are to be sold right there in your town and
that the way to sell them is to advertise in the
home newspaper.
“Pay no attention to the manufacturer who
sends you a lot of circular matter, saying, ‘ We
are going to buy a SIO,OOO spread ir the Sun and
Moon Magazine on such a date and we hope you
will co-operate with us by advertising in yonr
local newspapers that you handle our products.’ "
“Individual consumers and clubs In
terested in the control of the cost of
living could do much to safeguard the
Interests of the public by publishing
the result of Investigations made by
themselves of goods sold in their local
markets.
"The methods for such Investiga
tions would be very simple and yet
effectual. One or more cans of
each brand of food obtainable should
he purchased, and the Information on
the labels fully recorded with the
name of tha brand. The can should
ho weighed before opening, note taken
of the price paid and all observations
carefully recorded. After the can is
opened the contents should be empt
ied into the sieve, the empty can
weighed, the liquid measured and the
solid contents weighed. Such data as
these would help the consumer to buy
wisely and well If she would be guid
ed by her findings and buy food
(solid matter) Instead of water
(juice); and these teHts can be made
by any housekeeper.
“The housekeeper should, however,
he relieved from any such labor by
the canner, who should adopt uniform
standards and labels.”
