Wayne at Muskegon. Evansville at Springfield. Richmond at Dayton. With only three more games to play to finish the league season, the final position of the Quakers in the league standing has practically been determined. The Quakers probably will finish in sixth place, with Dayton and Ft. Wayne occupying the positions beneath them. The last three games of the Quakers are with Evansville, and even though Gilbert's men won all three of these contests, they would still be far behind the Evas and fifth place. The Quakers should win an even break at Evatown, but if they only , win one of the three games they will still be chead of Dayton, who has cancelled the final games and finishes the season with an averaga of .398. Ft. Wayne Has Little Chance. Fort-Wayne has little chance of winning a majority of its remaining Karnes, as the Chiefs are scheduled ngainst two first division clubs, Muskegon and Peoria, and will do well to win one of the four remaining games on their schedule. To step around the Quakers, Ft Wayne will have to win at least half of its remaining games. The Quakers left Saturday morning for Dayton, where they will play an exhibition benefit game for the members of the Dayton Central league club that were injured in a wreck last week. The game will be played r-KJiinst one of the Dayton City league Ifiims. In tk Majors NATIONAL LEAGUE. At Cincinnati Tt. H.

It 1b generally conceded here that Willlam Fossett has a splendid field of sixty acres in corn, which is expected to go from 50 to 60 bushels to the acre. His twenty bushels to the acre on forty acres of wheat threshed out well. He has twenty acres in oats to be threshed. On The Boards Folsom and Brown who are on the opening bill next week at the Murray are a man and woman well known in vaudeville not only for their reputation as artists of remarkable ability in the singing line, but that Mr. Al Brown the male member of the duo is a song and lyric writer of international repute is not so generally known. Bobbie Folson and Al Brown are an ideal team of entertainers. With Al at the piano and Miss Folsom doing the singing assisted by Mr. Brown we have an act that is class throughout. Both have excellent voices; know how to put over a number and show more of the "gingery" spirit to please than the average act. This kind of a disposition wins and it also accounts for "Fulsom and Brown's" wonderful success. The act is dressed as becomes an act of merit, beautiful gowns are worn by Miss Folsom, Mr. Brown appearing in full evening dress.

Mow Quality Is Paramnioint Now, more than ever in your life, be sure of quality when buying clothes. The shortage and resulting rise in prices of good fabrics has flooded the market with inferior woolens. x Save money by buying all-wool fabrics of real quality.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT Confidence in your own ability; to do the best is the only way to win other people's confidences in you when you are put to the test. The lie not listened to will limp away and leave you; the false when not favored by you fails from lack of food. If heaven be harmony and you want your neighbor to enjoy with you the essence of its peace, you must not stand on your own dignity nor step on your neighbor's toes.

Patriotism was the keynote of a luncheon and smoker given by the Hokendaqua Tribe, No. 196, Improved Order of Red Men, Friday night, in honor of Russell Keller of A Battery Seventh Field artillery.
