ELMA 16--SHELTON 12
Last Friday was seen one ef the
loosest examples of baseball ever
witnessed at the local park. Errors
galore, scratch hits and poor base-
running on both sides resulted in the
large score.
Early in the game Elma had a
4 run lead which was overcome by
'Shelton in the fifth inning when the
home.team amassed five runs. How-
ever Elma came back with six runs
the same inning and stayed ahead
the rest of the game. Just four balls
were pitched over by Smith, the
Elma pitcher, one inning, that being
one of the shortest innings ever
played at the local grounds. A good
crowd was at the game and shouted
their loudest but to no effect. Smith
and Cadillac formed the Elma bat-
tery while Kennedy and Daniels
worked for the home team.
SMILES
Simple Enough.
A factory hand who had lost a
finger through careless handling of
the machinery was approached by his
foreman, who asked him how he did
it.
"Well boss I'll show you," sai(I the
unlucky one. "You see I had just
stm'ted the machinery and was put-
ting my hand in like this and--gosh.
There goes another one.
Poor Willie.
Willie (doing home lessons): Who
wrote Shakespeare's Hamlet, Auntie"
Auntie: "Why--er--I really don't
know, Willie."
Willie: "I only hope then that you
will feel sorry when you think that
I am being punished for your ignor-
ance."

AUTO INSURANCE
Your automobile in the garage,
on the road and housed in
many more or less unsafe
places during the year, repre-
sents a value fully as much in
need of protection as your
home which stands still and its
risks always under your con-
trol. Why not carry some fire
and theft insurance, if not col-
lision and personal damage pro-
tection? Ask us about the
rates.

PAINT
HE life, the value, the beauty of your home,
depend on the care you give it.
Weather-beaten and warped siding, cracks
and open joints are forerunners of decay.
Many property owners neglect to look for such
signs, judging their houses and buildings by general
appearances only.
It is good business to make regular inspection of your
property, and to use paint of good quality, which is the
xurest preventive of decay..
Through the varying conditions of weather in all their
extremes, FULLER Paint has proved both its preserv-
ing and beautifying qualities--a Pacific Coast Product

Information of Priceless Value to
Every Shelton Citizen.
How to act in an emergency is
knowledge of inestimable worth, and
this is particularly true of the dis-
eases and ills of the human body. If
you suffer from kidney backache, ur-
inary disorders, or any form of kidney
trouble, the advice contained in the
following statement should add a
valuable asset to your store of knowl
edge. What could be more convin-
cing proof of the efficiency of Dean's
Kidney Pills than the statement of a
nearby resident who has used them
and publicly tells of the benefit de-
rived
,M. M. Thein, retired carpenter, 721
E. 2nd St., Aberdeen, Wash., says:
"Dean's Kidney Pills are all right
and I recommend them to anybody
who needs a kidney medicine. I have
taken Dean's Kidney Pills on several
oc'casions when I have thought it nec-
essary and they have always done me
good."

HISTORIC EXHIBITS
FULL OV "HEMIN'rOF, q Ol,' WORLD
TRAGEDY--eL1) ANI)
NEW
I,ondon, E,w:l:md, April 17, 1920.
I suppose that after pronouncing the
Tower of London an awful bore it
will be hard for me to declare the
British Museum fascinating and at
the same tlmc retain my reputation
for consistency. But I am going to
take the risk. I admit that most
museums are anything but entertain-I
ing. The British Museum is an ex-
ception..
Things do not need to be stale and
out of date before they are given a
place in the collection. We were very
much interested in a case of medals
struck during the recent war. The
most famous, perhaps, was the Ger-
man medal in honor of the sinking of
the Lusitania. showing Death selling
tickets through the Cunard line's win-
dow on one side, and the sinking of
the ship on the other. The issuing of
this medal caused great indignation
in England. One large London de-
partment store sold facsimilies of the
medal as reminders of German cruel-
ty. Much on the same order was a
medal in honor of the supposed suc-I
ess of the German submarine cam-
paign, with yon Tirpitz's head on one
side and an edifying representation
of the rats leaving the allied ships on
the other.
The most touchln hum'm docu-
ment in th( whole bdhllng' is the
original of Capt. Scott's last diary.
Scott, at the head ef a British expe-
dition, reached the South Pole short-
ly after the Norwegian exporer,
Amundson. On the return trips pro-
visions gave out, and Scott, with his
little party, perished. Their bodies
and records were later recovered.
The entry before the last contains
the words: "It is a great pity, but
I can write no more." The last reads
"For God's sake, look after our peo-
ple." The writing is strong, though
Scott's hand was evidently shaking.
His country has good reason to be
proud of such men.
As I never happen to have any
correspondence with a queen, I was
interested in some letters of Queen
Elizabeth's. At first I felt some del-
icacy about reading a lady's corres-
pondence. But it was all right. She
wrote such a bad hand that I
couldn't even tell what it was abotit.
Almost all the great English author's
autographs were nearby, including a
letter of Charles. Dickens, written the
day before his death, making an ap-
:pointment which he did not live to
keep.
George Washington is apparently
considered something of a celebrity
over here, which, after all, is not
surprising. He was represented by a
letter declaring that America desired
to live in peace and amity with all
"the world, trading with all who desire
her goods, but that it is contrary to
her policy to become involved in
European squabbles. This, of 'course,
is a restatement of the policy laid
down in his Farewell Address.
What really took our fancy was a
map of the world made about 1500,
in which Africa and South America
were separated by a narrow strait,
and South America was filled with
gay parrots the size of Brazil. It
must have been interesting sailing
away to the west with the prospect of
seemg such creatures. Of a slightly
later period are some instructions for
a voyage of discovery to America,
l which may prove valuable to some of
m friends on their summer camping
trip:
"Lett Bavin carry with him good
store of parchment, paper ryall,
quills, and inck, black powder to
make yncke, and af oll sorts of col-
ours to drawe all thinges to life, gum,
pensyll, a stone to grinde colours.
* * * *
Also lett him carry with
him your sea instruments, a flare
watche clock, wich dothe shewe and
devide the hewers by the minutes,
and such" a one as will runne 24
hewers or 40 hewers without any
winding up."
I am merely playing around the
edges of the great store of treas-
ures in the Museum. For example,
it contains the finest collection of
Greek and Roman sculpture in the
world, including the wonderful mar-
ble bas-relief frieze of the Parthenon
at Athens. A large part of this 'col-
lection was saved from destruction
and sent to England by Lord Elgin,
British ambassador to Turkey about
1800. The finest statuary in the
world was being broken up for build-
ing material by the people of Athens.
Another interesting feature is that
a copy of every book published in the
British Island is brought to the Mu-
seum lbirary, which corresponds in
this way to the Library of Congress
at .Washington. It is one of the
great privileges of children educated
in London that they have access, in-
dividually and as 'classes, to all the
splendid materials in the collection.
I have seen children illustrating their
ancient history from the Greek, Re-
]nan, and Assyrian sculptures, and
their geography from Oriental cos-
tumes and household furnishings.
How fortunate would Western 'chil-
dren be if they had such institutions
within a" few blocks.
