The only score of the game was made in the last of the 7th through hit by Harrington. Poth teams played good ball and the fans were more than pleased with the showing made.

The following account of the wed rliiur anrtuii fuil in a Min tuinnnlia minm" (From the Rochester, (Minn.) Post Bulletin, May 18th.)

When you are trying to tell a friend of the wonders of the new baby at your house or the many fish you caught1 over the week-end, a snop-shot is often worth more than ten thousand words. Which suggests that a few extra snap-shots tucked in personal' correspondence now and then, might take the place of many pages in j private letters which are so hard to write these days. The O’Neill Photo Co. of our city are trying to get this appreciated message boldly across to us through their window displays of human in terest snap-shots and enlargements— National Camera Week. There is something about these personal pic tures taken with our own cameras which gives them special interest and value. Possibly it is because they are so very personal. Familiar faces ta ken in familiar places where there is little artificial posing, and generally, in connection with some pleasant in-1 cident —means that the pictures oh-1 tained, while not always art in pho- j tography, yet are better likenesses* and mean more to us than the finest of portraits. CONTROL OF BANK CHANGES HANDS (Page Reporter) A deal was made recently whereby j E. C. McElhaney purchased the inter est of R. L. Drayton in the Page State bank, Mr. McElhaney, who has serv ed as cashier of the hank for the oast ten years, took active control of the bank on May first. Four new stock- j holders including some local business men have purchased stock in the bank with Mr. McElhany at this time, and plans are under way to increase the capital of the bank in the coming year. In the deal Mr. Drayton becomes the owner of the place known as the j Harvey Allen farm north of town and I will probably remain in I’age for a time to look after his properties and j interests in and about here.
