EIGHT : In Section 2 of Rule ‘28, about subâ€" stituting players, there has ‘been no end of ‘confusion among the youngâ€" sters ias to what "any stage of the game‘"‘ means when one player was put in the contest for another. Freâ€" quently it has ‘been ruled that a player could ibreak down between first and second ‘base and if another player touched first ‘base and ‘"continued to run for the injured player, the run would count. (Of course, that would result in a farce, because slow runâ€" ners could ‘pretend ‘to break down at first ‘base and faster runners could take their places. The rule has ibeen so changed now that a substitute can not be made while the ball is in play. The* umpire always calls "tim«‘ when a substitute is made. f The rule does not say that the pitcher must dry his hands on the rosin ‘bag. It says he may. _ There ‘can ‘be a real rogin ‘bag, and if there is a league that doesn‘t want to carry the ?gag, there is nothing to compel it to do so. To Section 2, Riutle 30 there is apâ€" pended theâ€" rosin |bag paragraph, which has ‘become famous thus early. The national league will use and the American league will have none of it. _ In rule 16 it says that a player may act as captain. That means that if a team does not want its captain on the field it can have him in the coacher‘s box. It has ibecome the custom to have the captain a player, other than one of the regulars. The coacher may no longer go farâ€" ther back toward the outfield than an extension of the ibase lines from first to isecond and second to third bases into foul ground indefinitely. The coacher‘s assistance must therefore be confined to the infield and is not to be used in rambling toward the outâ€" field in an effort to get the "sign" of the pitcher and the catcher This modiâ€" fies Rule 6. The rule regarding the ‘bat is reâ€" written. It is not changed in intent, but it is clear. â€"In the original form it was not. It agsserted originally that one <end of the (bat could be "wound", but did not state which end. Note one thing very carefully. Not a word of the rule about the use of a Although the changes made in the playing rules of baseball for 1926 are not revolutionary, nevertheless, they will have congiderable ‘bearing upon the outcome of many games. ‘There has ‘been no upheaval of pitching rules as have been made iat various times in the history of the game. Perhaps it would have ‘been ‘better if there had ‘been a little more freedom granted to the pitcher, but that is something that can await the turn of the tide.

If, in his opinion, he can afford to wait five minutes longer, he may; but on the other hand there is nothing which preâ€" vents him from stopping short at the end of thirty minutes. - In the future if a ibatsman, wants a home run, he must touch all the bases under all conditions. There are to be no freak home runs as presents solely to make records. There will ‘be found many one word changes and many changes made necâ€" essary (by reason of the fact that the coach is brought into the game now as a separate unit. There can ‘be a professional coach exactly as there is a professional manager, neither of whom is actively engaged with the ‘ball or ibat. 1 j If the batsman gets to first on a wild pitch it will ‘be an error in the future. It should always have been. There is no reason why ia pitcher should not stand for anything which puts a batsâ€" man on first base. f The rule w@about ‘the international pass stands as it did, although the members of the rules committee were quite. willing â€"to admit that it is supâ€" erfluous and unnecessary. However it has been incorporated into the rules as sort of precautionary warning to the catcher, and iso. it was permitted to remain. The words "the internaâ€" tional pass‘" were stricken from the rule. â€"The leagues do not recognize or pretend Jlonger to recognize it as an ‘"international pass," ‘ The distance of the home run is 150 feet, and yet the size of a ground does not necessarily have a mininum limit of 250 feet. â€" A ground may be 2385 ‘feet as its least measurement, ‘but home runs will not be legal over that 235â€" foot wall. That point was flatly setâ€" tled by increasing the distance of a home run to 250 feet. If a batsman stands at the plate and, in the opinion of the umpire, dodges into a slow ‘ball so that he spoils either a ‘ball or a strike, the umpire may put a penalty of a ‘ball or a strilke on the batsman. In the past it has often been ruled a dead Iball; and thus the ‘batsman get away with a play at the expense of the pitcher. (‘Of course, if the batsman is hit accidentally, the rule of hit ‘by pitcher applies as it always did. foreign substitute on the ball has ibeen changed. To daub or mantreat the iball ‘is as illegal as ever it was. The rule in regard to the pitcher throwing to an unoccuwpied ‘base "has been changed ‘so that if he does it once he is warned, and if he repeats it he is out of the game. This change has ‘been erroneously confounded in some way with the international pass, but has nothing whatever to ~do with it. The change is very proper and a good one, as it prevents needless delay of the game. Various slight changes have ‘been made in the ibalk rule, ibut none of them alter the ibalk or its penalty. The changes have made the rule much clearer. Telephones 23 or 36 Date ...

Oil is usad inistead of wiater in making the coloring for ‘butter. ‘This part of the work is done in special laboratories. The liquid, when ready for use, is so rich in color that only a little is needâ€" ed to give butter or cheese any shade of yellow thiat the makers desire.. Dusky natives iin those «countries pick the pods of the annatto bush when they are ripe. Then they spread them on the ground lbefore their doors and on the roofs of their huts to dry. The hot sun quickly dries the pods, so that the geeds can ibe removed withâ€" out any difficulty.‘ The seeds are then ready to (be shipped. Little threeâ€"cornered seeds furnish the yellow color for nearly all the millions and millions of pounds of cheese ‘and ‘butter made every year. These geeds are ‘the fruit of the anâ€" niaitto bush, which grows in the West Indies and in ‘Central and South As a windâ€"up to the very succesgful basketball season, the members of,/the boys‘ and girls‘ teams of the High and Voceational schools of Beamsville, sat down to a banquet of their own preâ€" paring on Friday night in Community hall. A number of toasts were proâ€" posed, and altogether the teams and staff spent a very enjoyable getâ€"toâ€" gether. The <sacrifice hit rule has been changed to read, ‘"When no one is out or when lbut one man is out the batsâ€" man hits a fly ‘ball that is caught but results in a baserunner advancing on the »catch." The ichange is in the words "baserunner advancing." Freâ€" quently or at least often enough to make it worth while, a run has been scored by two long flies in succession. The chap who ‘batted the last got a sacrifice hit and the one who batted the first got nothing; yet the run could not have been scored â€"had it not ‘been.for his play. The rules commitâ€" tes logically ‘decided that if one fly helped to sgcore a run, so did the other, And so it did. and so it will. The istolen ‘base rule is so modified that the scorer may use his judgmént and give a stolen ibage if the runmer has shown an active play that is hafâ€" fling to the catcher. With all that has been done to encourage ‘base runnjing, scorers have ‘been in the habit of not giving the runner a stolen base when he ‘was trying to draw a throw/ that would ‘help a runner to score/ from third. If there ever was interit in a play to advance a runner it was reâ€" corded with nothing simply because the scorers followed the rule exactly asg it read. If a catcher musses up a strikeout the pitcher must get credit for what he accomplished, ‘or rather would haye accomplished with proper ‘coâ€"operâ€" ation. It was found that scorers were depriving the pitcher of a strikeâ€"out when the catcher muffed the ball. / BUTTER COLOR H. S.

We ‘believed that such a policy was the broadest and most liberal moerâ€" chandising plan, for the best interest of ‘both the buyer and the seller. As a result of this resistance, we did not feel that we were getting the reâ€" sults to which we were entitled from our national advertising which had built up the reputation of our product and created the demand for our brush. a "gyp jobber" on the one hand, and certain types of cut rate drug stores and department stores on the other hand. Production on Nova Scotia farms in 1925 amounted to approximately $40,420,000, as compared with $36,â€" 435,000 in the previous year. Items making up this total were: Dairy, $10,200,000; ‘livestock, $2,200,000; field crops, $18,700,000; poultry proâ€" ducts, $1,220,000; fruits and vegeâ€" tables, $8,000,000.

One of the most important problems that today confronts a manufacturer of nationally advertised products, I ‘believe to ‘be the standarization nf prices. In order that I may not be misunderstood regarding the concluâ€" sions I have reached, after a careful and thoughful study of the problem for years, a word of explanation at the ‘beginning may not ‘be out of order. Canada‘s agricultural growth durâ€" ing the past quarter of a century is well illustrated by figures comâ€" piled by the Dominion Government, which show, that during the past year field crops had an estimated value of $946,166,000, as compared with $196,873,000 in 1900. No retailer or wholesaler should be asked to operate without a profit, nor forced to perform a service for which he is not paid. And if you spend a dollar for car fare, etc., to save thirty cents you pay again. If you send to a mail order cutâ€"price house for four cakes of what is really tenâ€"cent soap and get it at a cut price of four cakes for fifty cents, you think you are getting in on the real cutâ€"price stuff, The following article was written in an effort to counteract this unjust practice. H.*B. Beaumont, assistant steamâ€" 513115 general passenger agent, has been appointed assistant to the steamship passenger traffic manâ€" ager of the Canadian Pacific Steamâ€" ships, according to recent advices at the head offices, of the company. And it works another way. If you buy these goods.out of town your local dealer loses that sale and he has to do a certain amount of business‘ to live, and has to charge accordingly for other sales. And you pay again. PRICE CUTTING USED AS DECOY average buyer, but if he or she stops to think they can readily understand that there is a catch somewhere. No store or mail order house can sell gods for less than they cost, unless they‘tilt the price on something else. And do not think for a moment that you are cunning enough to get all snaps and no raised prices. By WILILIAM CORDES President, Proâ€"phyâ€"lacâ€"tic Brush Co. Mere Snd There Price cutting may sound good to the He overlooks the fact that the other dealers are going to do the same thing, and that his action meansg war. Priceâ€"cutting seems to be founded on the idea that if a dealer sells an article at less than the suggested price, he ‘will get all the business in his neighborhood. It is too long a subject to discuss here in detail ‘because there are so many different types of priceâ€"cutters and so many ‘motives for their actions. The writer has ‘been interested in this priceâ€"cutting mania for several years, and has to some extent studied the psychology of the price cutter. Secondly, as a matter of common fairness to those. who are distributing our merchandise, we believe that it is only just wE should recognize the reâ€" sponsibility on our part to insure to both of these Zactor»s an equal opporâ€" tunity to earn a fair profit on our product. Thirdly, and upon grounds of public policy, we (believe in <priceâ€"standardâ€" ization because monopolies have alâ€" ways ‘been fostered through the elimâ€" ination of competitors by priceâ€"cutting Priceâ€"standardization encourages competition ‘because it gives small dealers an opportunity to compste with the larger ones on an equal footing. Neither of these factors should be asked to operate without a profit; and if, for any reason over which they have no control, a given wholegaler or retailer is forced to sell his merchanâ€" dise at prices which are below cost plus a reasonable profit, then it must ‘be apparent that ‘both of thege factors are going to retard the sale of this merchandise as far as they can. That is the selfish side of it from the manufacturer‘s point of view. We ‘believe that "the laborer is worthy of his hire," and that as merâ€" chandise is distributed at the present time, there is an economic necessity for both the wholesaler and retailer. consumer, it passes through the hands of iboth the wholesaler and the reâ€" tailer. If these two factors are +0 function properly they must operate at a iprofit. { As the white settlers came in after the Wild Horse Creek Gold Rush, these came \to be called The Fairâ€" mont Hot Springs, and became a well known landmark on the Govâ€" ernment road from Lake Winderâ€" mere to Cranbrook.

There is a tennis court and horses with guides are available for riding the neighboring trails, while large numbers of automobilists visit the Springs during the summer, months.. Mr. Heap Holland has the intention of making ‘this an allâ€"year resort, as the waters have a temper-i ature of 120° and never freeze. i The only fly in the ointment is that the Government operates rival hot Springs on the Banff{â€"Winderâ€" Arkansas, in addition to valuable curative deposits of magnesium and lime. The Canadian Pacific Railâ€" way had obtained right of way through his property in consideraâ€" tion of calling their station Radium, and these Radium Hot Springs now attract many visitors, the camp havâ€" ing a capacity for seventy persons.

This is not a new sulbject but it is one to which many manufacturers and merchants are giving a great deal of thought. We, are, of course, badly hxandi-cap- ped today by the Sherman and Clayton Acts. ‘Both of these laws are antiâ€" quated and would not be allowed to stand on the bo&-s of any other country. «n We ‘believe that priceâ€"standardizâ€" ation is the most economical system of _ distributing nationallyâ€"known merchandise, ‘It means ibetter value to the public, stabilized conditions in the trade, economy of ‘production, and regularity of employment to the wage earner.

But we ‘believe, however, that a new era is dawning and that out of the chaotic conditions which have heretofore prevailed in the drug world will come an era of prosperity to thogse who are farâ€"sighted enough to believe in fair prites for all concerned. This we are endeavoring to do by the adoption of our new selling plan which became cperative on November 2, 1925, the immediate results of which have proven that it was based on sound conclus‘ons. Stability of price tends to,standardiâ€" ize an article more than most peeople think. Back of the idea of stabil‘zing the retail price must be the determination to make the handling of the product profitable to everyone engaged in its d‘stribution. We are stabilizing the retail price on Proâ€"phyâ€"lacâ€"t‘c tooth brushes because we ‘believe it is the right and just thing to do. In the first place; the letters must be legally air tight, and in the second place they must be so worded as not to give offense to customers who are not familiar with the law. This is another difficulty which confronts the manufacturer. + Out of the efforts which leading manufacturers are making today to standardize prices, there has developâ€" ed ~a new ckind of correspondence which is extremely difficult to write. All the manufacturer is allowed to do is to avail himself of his legal right and to refuse to sell his merchandise to a customer who sells at less than the suggested prices. In this country, however, the manuâ€" facturer is handicapped in any effort which he may make to insure a profit to all of his distributors. He must be very careful that noâ€" agrement, either written or implied. exists between himself and his customers as to the price at which they wlil sgell his merchandise. ing in England forâ€" the past thirty years, has ‘been a splendid thing for all concerned. ¢ Ne y [ B are fed and is the first
