ucts Refining Company was 10 be erected
IN The open country. real estate promoters
focked 70 the ground and started the
development OF the adjacent territory.

900 bushels a day. AT present there are
about 500 wOrknel on the ground

Errercr WIthout Ice.

A new freezing device is being exploit
ed in Germany. which is especially adapt
e6 for domestic purposes. The appa-
~atus is quite inexpensive to make and
operate- It consists merely OF a double
wall tin vessel with a capacity OF hve
gallons. Hollow space between the two
walls Is about an inch across By the
gradual admission Of carbonic acid into
this hollow space through an opening Al
the bottom and from there 10 the vessel
proper through a cross-arm tube, it =
claimed that water may be converted into
ice in the space Of 60 seconds, and that
meats. fruits, and beverages. such as beer

the sudden great reduction OF tempera-
ture caused by the raDid expansion OF
carbonic acid. which IS admitted from

Bankers sound warning.

While the stock market seems undoubt-
edly aimed toward higher levels. conserv-
ative bankers feel that it IS about time to
issue a public warning against too much
enthusiasm. There Is material Improve
ment IN business everywhere, but not
nearly enough to justify the speed with
which the market is being advanced. The
advance is almost entirely manipulated
and Is being forced by interests loaded
with stocks purchased during the panic.
No opportunity has Yet been presented to
unload these stocks. While the small In
vestors refuse 10 sell. they also refuse TO
purchase more at this level

NEXT MEETING
TOBE IMPORTANT

The annual meeting Of the Tri-Statc
League at Reading March and 3
VIII be one of the most important the
league has ever held in a number oi
ways. There is just a little soreness
over the salary limit of S27O0 and
$1,000, and this must be worked off. II
is not going to be easy, for the reason
that some Of the clubs are having some
difficulty with old favorites. Officers
are to be elected. or rath r, one man
Is to be chosen to fill all the offices
The schedule will claim attention, al
though it will be given into the hands
Iof committee to draft Then there
are hundred and one things that need
Iattcntion just about this time.
1t appears to be a foregone conclu-
sion that President Charles F. Car
penter will be reelected president,
secretary and treasurer. He has so
ably conducted the affairs of the league
that il would show a lamentable lack
OF wisdom on the part of the magnates
II they did elect him to succeed him
self He conducted the negotiations
for protection in such a manner that
the Tri-State got everything it wanted
and so much more that It made old
baseball men gasp for breath. Now
when the club owners desire to make
money, after years Of spending money
70 advance the sport, no better head
could be chosen. Mr.. Carpenters little
sally into politics, which eliminated in
his defeat for city treasurer Of Altoona
Tuesday is likely to last him a life
time, and hereafter he will devote all
his time to baseball.
Manager John Farrell, of the Altoona
team, is expected to arrive in Altoona
during this week. He will then COM
pare notes with the club owners. So
far as known but two of Altoona's
players are in the "Hold-out Club"
These are Joe Ward, the shortstop,
and Ben Houser, first baseman. Joe
has written a sarcastic letter to the
owners about the salary and declares
that he will not stand for the salary
offered, and has demanded his uncon-
agement will not give Ward an ad-
vance. Houser does not like the salary
offered and has demanded his uncon-
ditional release. AS Manager Farrell
has about signed a National Lacquer
for first base, Housed viii not be
missed.
Altoona will send about twenty men
South to train next month, and Man
ager Farrell will have plenty Of oppor-
lunities to size up his players.
