Marshalltown Pottery Company
Leases Large Tract of Land
For Clay Purposes
1T MAKES A SPLENDID WARE
Thorough Test of the Clay Is Made,
With the Result That Very Super
Tor Article Is Manufactured-Giffo
Beds Will Probably Be Utilized For
Brick and Tile Industry

The Marshalltown Pottery Company
town northeast of Abba, in Monroe
county, a large tract Of land to be used
for securing clay to be shipped to this
city for the manufacture of earthen
ware specialties. The deal to secure
the land has been on between Manager
Z. j. Ritchey and the owners for some
time, and has but recently been closed.
The clay from the beds has been given
a thorough test, and after repeated
trials turnout all processes OF manu-
facture has been declared to be suit
able in every way for the manufacture
Of earthen wares.
The Hickory beds are not owned by
the company, bit n ten years royalty
lease mas been secured, and the work
of removing the earth is now COM
menced. A number of men have been
sent from this city to work in the beds,
and load the clay in cars. ready for
shipment to this city. Mr.. Ritchey says
that the manufactured product made
from the Hickory clay is very super
ior wear, and the best he has ever seen.
The Clifford clay was considered good,
but that from Hickory Is so far super
ior that there Is no real comparison.
The land owned by the company at
Clifford will not be disposed OF. but in
stead another industry is being PLAN
ned 1t is a brick and tile business
with plant at Clifford. The clay at
Clifford Is admirably adapted for the
brick and tile industry, and as long as
the company owns the land, 1t IS
thought very prosperous business In
this line can be worked up. 1T Is not
known just when the new enterprise
will be started, but the company is al
ready figuring on the work.

cause I could not get any nourishment
from food.
Then my sister got after me to try
Grape Nuts food which had done much
good for her. and she finally persuaded
me and altho no other food had done
me the least bit of good my stomach
handled the Grape-Nuts from the first
and this food supplied the nourishment
1 had needed. In three months l was
so strong l moved from Albany to San
Francisco and now on my three meals
of Grape-N Nuts and cream every day 1
am strong and vigorous and do fifteen

world could do as I do, eat three meals
of nothing but Grape-Nuts and cream
and soon be on their feet again in
the flush of best health like me.
Not only am / in perfect physical

by FORGETTING the game is not plain,
for he passed up all possibilities of
winning 1t by refusing to play.
So far as there being any question
as to the legality of the game, which
some seem to doubt. that was settled
before 1t was played. President Nor
ton gave his consent IN writing to
President L. s. Peckham, and Manager
Black agreed to 1t by telegraph which
leaves no grounds open for protest,
because played on an off day. About all
that came out of the forfeited game
was the disgust Black caused in the

box office for their money, which was
refunded.

After Flynn had announced the to

Pitchers Greene and Weisbrod consent
ed to arbitrate matters Warner was
anxious to win. regardless of its be-
ing an exhibition. This was due TO
the fact that he wished to preclude all
possibility of giving Black the oppor-
tunity of saying that after getting rid
of Umpire Flynn he was able to win.
For that reason he led the locals ON
to win, refusing 10 allow Taylor to
pitch. despite the fact that the crowd
WAS constantly bowling for him. He
designated Disch to duty. and the lat
ter proved fully as effective as any of
the others. He allowed the disgruntled
Black and his followers just five safe
ones, two of them for two bases, and
it was not until the ninth that the
visitors We're able to score. This was
prevented in the fourth by Warner
himself into fast double un-
assisted, and by Williams and Brug-

The locals have got into the habit
of breaking up Burlington's game from
the getaway, and altho playing just for
fun yesterday they repeated the trick
for the third time by Williams hitting
safe. Gleason sacrificing and House
