The Paducah Association Meets Here
This Evening.
Bids for Grand Stand and Bleachers
to Be Opened Tonight, But
No Contract Let.
PLAYERS NAMES CONSIDERED

Tonight the membefs Of the Padu-
oah Baseball association will hold a
meeting to look over the field Of ball
players and also to open bids for the
grand stand and bleachers.
There have been applications re-
ceived from nearly hundred players,
vome with and some without reputa-
tions and the association will exercise
the greatest care in selecting the
team.
One member of the association stat
ed this morning: 1--WE will meet to
night and open bids for the grand
stand work but will not let the con-
tract. We intend to carefully read
all letters from ball players and be.
come thoroughly acquainted with all
who want to come in. We want the
best that can be secured and will take
nothing less. II is the intention Of
the association to play the National
league clubs and will try to secure
open dates from st. Louis and Cincin'
natl clubs. The trip could be easily
made from st. Louis TO Cincinnati Wis
Psducsh and we think it probable to
get match from these two clubs some
time In the season. We will try Pitts
burg two games also and Psducat
will witness the best sport in this line
procurable.

will show that there has been an enor.
nous increase in the amount Of mail
handled.
II will take 80 days Of consecutive
work TO get an approximate on the
amount Of mail carried.
The magnitude OF the work is shown
by the fact that the government is

Potatoes Will be High.

A dispatch from Sioux City says that
Minnesota and South Dakota will have
to supply Western Iowa and much of
Missouri and Kansas with potatoes
this fall and winter. Excessive rains
have cut the yield of potatoes in that
section from 200 bushels to the acre to
25, and these are small, round, bullet
shaped tubers, most annoying to the
housewife. The price is now 80 cents
a bushel, having gone rapidly up from
40 cents, and the dealers unhesitating
~ predict it will go to 81 this winter.
Buyers from Kansas City, the region
of unrrecede tented floods, have been pass
ing through Sioux City to Minnesota
and South Dakota, where the crop is
reported very good. Heretofore the
purchasers from the southern states sc.
cured many carloads of potatoes
around Sioux City but they only stop
long enough this year to inquire and
find out there are none for sale.

What Minnesota Hens Did,

The chickens in Minnesota lay $50
eggs for every man, woman and child
in the state in the course of one year.
There are in round numbers 10000.
coo chickens in the state; 25OOOO tur-
keys; 100000 geese, and 200 900 ducks.
The value of all the poultry in the
state is $3,600,0oo. e. ~. :z.@
The total number of eggs laid by the
chickens in this state in one year is
$40, 1000, which brings $7,50OOOO in
the market. -..s# w.. s": 1.-E
This is more money than is paid out
of the state treasury for all purposes.
If all the eggs laid in Minnesota in
one year were piled together on top OF
each other in a column one foot square
it would make a pile 2O6 miles high

Creameries the Cheapest
=, and Best.

The increased cost of maintaining
the hand separator system is an item
of no little consideration which the
patrons of a whole milk creamery
should take into account before buying
hand separators. Supposing, for ex-
ample, the East Chain Lakes creamery
in this county should resolve itself into
plant run on the hand separator
system. They have three factory
separators which cost them ST. 800 and
for the 125 patrons of this creamery the
cost of hand machines would be $12,-
500, making in all total cost Of $14,-
coo for the change. The average loss
in the skim milk at this factory for the
year will not average more than .05 per
cent, or a total loss on the 100000
pounds of milk which they handle in a
year Of about 800 pounds Of butter.
1t is easy to see that the loss in the
skim:milk will be kept atthe minimum
point under the direction of a skilled
mechanic and the very best separators
made. Divide this n iIk among the 125
patrons and allow 1875 different men to
separate this milk with 1926 different
machines, many different makes and
some poor ones, and it will be found
that the average loss in the skim milk
will be much higher. No one will dis
pute the statement that the average
loss in hand separator skim milk will
average, for a large number Of samples,
as high asS.15 per cent and the figure
should no doubt be higher. This add
ed loss Of j per cent on the 100000
pounds of milk would mean a loss Of
5000 pounds Of butter or a cash loss Of
$500 or S 200. Would it pay a creamery
like the one at East Chain Lakes to
make the change? Fairmont News.

This is equally applicable to the Gus

classes, where not very many years ago
families habitually placed themselves
in debt by the extravaganza of their
funerals. 1t amounted to singular
rivalry, and the "fine funeral would be
talked of for months afterward. This
tendency to avoid foolish extravaganza
in connection with funeral expenses is
commendable and we hope to see it
prevail every where.

Large Apple Shipments.

Large Apple on1pmenIS.
# the farmers. Of Freeborn county
keep on planting apple trees and setting
out large, orchards they will soon be-.
come as famous in fruit raising as they
now are in dairying. There is scarcely
a farm in the county now but on which
there is found at least small orchard
and this planting has been continued
right along in the face of the fact that
not as yet has a sure winter variety Of
long keeping quality been found. But
this we believe has been found in the
Roxbury Russet apple tree in R.sA.5
Whites orchard in Nunda, and in
course Of a few years these beautiful
winter apples will become more plenti-
full than they have been. But, saying
nothing of winter apples Freeborn
county now raises pretty good supply
of apples as this year, A. j. Anderson,
who has made the purchase and ship
ping Of apples speciality, estimates
that between sixteen: and eighteen.
hundred barrels of apples'grown in this.
county have been shipped abroad. Mr..
Anderson has shipped two car loads.
and also large number of barrel Ship
ments, besides what the Fruit house
and other dealers have shipped. Clarence
Wedge has probably sold five car loads
from his two orchards, and the re-
mainder has been made up from small
orchards. The price paid has been
from 35 to rs cents per bushel, which is
a good price when one considers that
prevailing prices in the apple growing
districts are usually from IS to SO cents
per bushel. We hope the fruit industry
in Freeborn county will continue to
grow.-Albert Lea Enterprise. I.
