THEY HAVE LEARNED THE LESSON Now that the Bulletin and News have consolidated, Anderson has two newspapers, an evening publication and a morning issue. Some years ago, in this state and elsewhere, there was a boom in the newspaper business. The result was a novel supply of journals. In smaller, growing towns, especially, there was a tendency to crowd the field. As a result, little or no money was to be made by any competing paper. The Spanish-American war made new and large demands on these papers. Competition was fierce. They exerted themselves unduly in keeping a fast pace. They called it progressiveness. They proposed to keep up with the times, and to give their patrons the best in the market, no matter what the cost. The thing ■was overdone. Many newspapers assumed burdens and expenses during the war that they were not able to drop afterwards. Competition, a false pride and an effort to put on a metropolitan front, continued to sap the vitality of papers in several limited fields. Common sense is taking hold in various cities. The days of boom growth are over, and the newspapers are fitting into their places on a basis of profit and business judgment. Rich, mond, Muncie, and now Anderson, < have learned the lesson. Experience has taught that two papers are sufficient in a city of 25,000 people.— Indianapolis Sun. “All’s well, that Ends Well” is the title of one of the prettiest picture stories ever shown at the electric theater and which will ne given this evening and tomorrow. It tells the old, sweet story of loves faithfulness, the happy young couple’s weddUg, banishment from the brides’s home by a stern father and how the little son finally won his grandfather to forgiveness.

HOW THEY AVERAGE The Batting and Fielding Percentages JOHNSON LEADS THE BUNCH Locals Lost an Exhibition Game at Geneva—Kokomo Here this Afternoon. Through the courtesy of official scorer Fred Vaughn, we herewith publish the batting and fielding averages of the respective members of the team up to and including Sunday’s game. The official scorer gives the real credit to Johnson, our center fielder, who is now plugging the ball at a .338 clip. The dope shows that we have five men over the three hundred mark and several others who are crowding the mark closely. Winger still leads in the fielding average, he having made but one error in twenty-one games. The remainder ■of the team are closely bunched in their fielding averages and all have clean and respective records. The following dope tells the tale. BATTING AVERAGES Names.
