EARLHAM BASKET BALL TEAM
LEFT FOR GREENCASTLE THIS
AFTERNOON DETERMINED TO
WIN OVER THE METHODlSTS.

Many Weaknesses Which Were Made
Evident in Game With Miami Uni
versity Have Been Corrected, He
Says.

The Earlham basketball team left
for Greencastle this afternoon, to go
up against the Methodist squad at De
Paw this evening. The Quakers have
been undergoing hard practice games

scrimmages, along with the practice
they have had in goal throwing, pre-
clude any chance of De Pauws win
ming. in the minds OF the Earlham stu
dents Coach Vail stated that all Of
the poor plays. team work and passing
of the ball. which were made evident
last Friday night in the game with Mi
ami. has been corrected and that he ex-
poets the Quakers to hand the MethO-
dists the small end of the score this
evening. The Earlham lineup for this

SKEWER LANGUAGE.
Method Of Marking Meat In the Great
Beet Markets.

There are about fifty men in the me-
tropOlls, says the New York Sun, who
know how to make meat skewers keep
q record of their business transactions.
These men are the representatives of
the Chicago packers, who sell thou
sands of quarters of beef every day to
butchers.
The work of these men is accom-
plished with great rapidity. Frequent
~ they are making sale to dozen
butchers at the same time, and to re-
cord these sales in a book would not
only consume Z lot of time but would
be difficult. as all quarters of beef look
alike.
AS soon as a sale is made the sales
man sticks skewers into tue quarter
selected by the butcher. The skewers
are placed in such way that each
butchers purchases are easily picked
out when the time comes for deliver
Ing them.
As some Of the statesmen have as
many as q hundred customers in a
day, it is evident that as many com bina-
tons of the skevers have TO be form
ed. In no case are more than three
shewers used on a piece Of beef.
In one big icebox there are twenty
rows of quarters, with forty quarters
in each row. In each piece of beef
were skewers, placed at various angles,
straight up. two of them crossed and
In every conceivable combination
Il know by these skewers whom each
piece belongs to-" said the salesman.
Every beef house salesman has his
own signs.
This method OF marking the meat
serves several purposes IN addition to
that OF saving time. A salesman from
another house could not come in here
and find out what my customers have
bought by looking at the skewers,
which would be easy enough If the
meat had their names on.
Neither can one butcher find out
what quality OF beef another is buy
ing. / could make a thousand signs
without using more than three skewers
On any enc piece of meat"

there is no doubt but what the game
would be literally patronized.
AT Lima, Tuesday night the com
mittee appointed by the local baseball
organization met in the office of w. T
Newman and had very enthusiastic
meeting. All necessary steps were
taken to enter the new league and
when the Columbus meeting is held
Lima will be there with mazuma
which is required as a guarantee OF
good faith.
secretary Farrell's latest bulletin
puts to route the idea that Richmond
will have to remain in the Indiana
Ohio league. 1t shows that the terri
tory in Richmond, Springfield, Lima
and Hamilton has been reserved for
the Ohio State. The only way in
which Richmond can stay out of the
league and remain with the Indian
league is to make that organization
an outlaw league.

ONE TEAM HAS DROPPED OUT OF
THE CITY BOWLING LEAGUE

Few good scores, but fair averages
were made in the contest between the
Bowling league last evening. The En-
ire Nous won two OF the three games
but the Bortons had the larger number
of total pins.
The taiI-enders in the league. which
have had ii very checkered career, haV-
ing gone under several different names
have given up the fight and dropped
out of the league. The dates which
were to have been filled by this team
will probably be given up to small ball
contests or tournament games. Sum

the ce-holders are against Taft and
for Foraker. II the president has at
last tried to make it understood in that
state that a man does not have to be
for Foraker and against the admins
tration, in order to have a job? Why
should he not do this? Is he bound
to appoint only men who will attack
his own measures? Ought he not

net T 1t and Garfield in Ohio. Bona
parte in Maryland or Wilson in Iowa,
as to the men whom he shall appoint
IN these respective states! In New
Hampshire. when the two senator's dis
agreed. and he nominated a man at the
suggestion of Winston Churchill, why
should he not DO it: The bulk OF the
officeholders there are still working
with the machine against Taft In
New York, the presidents own state,
the most prominent appointment made,
that OF the collector of customs. was a
man hostile to Taft. The bulk OF of
flee holders in Pennsylvania are for
Knox. Is this laying on the lash to
make them use the governments time
and money to impose the presidents
personal choice upon the convention: =
Indeed If is my own conviction that
if the president were TO make much
more liberal use OF the axe in decapi-
tatirg those who are using their of
fices TO control political movements,
neglecting their public duties and Gre

q valuable service for good govern.

Australia's Elmwood

For some time past the director of
forests in Queensland, Australia. has
urged upon carriage manufacturers the
value of crows foot elm as a timber
for use in that trade. He has lust had
an opportunity of inspecting Splendid
logs of this timber (procured from the
Blackall range). which are being emf
up to the order of firm of wheel and
carriage manufacturers in Brisbane
who have started factory for tha
making of wheels. shafts, spokes. etc.
of this timber Expensive machinery
has been imported for the purpose. II
is stated in the Brisbane press that the
supply Of hickory in the United States
is small, and the director of forests
reports that with the hundreds of mill
lion feet of crows foot elm existing in
this state an export trade should be
established with the United States for
the benefit of the enormous carriage
and wagon manufacturing business. II
is assured that the supply Of this
timber can scarcely be exhausted by
any demands which may be made upon
1T by such export trade for at least
. generation to come.

OF graft is letter to Francis j. Heney
from w. NJ Brown, secretary of the
Albion lumber company, with offices in
the orocker building. and living at
1906 Sutter street. The letter says:
I hand you herewith copy of letter written to-
day to the Chronicle. | send you this to show
you my appreciation of the glorious fight you are
making in this city; and by way OF encouragement
to you and your associates 1 might suggest that
the people who are making the most noise now
are not those who voted in the majority at the
recent election. They are still with you and
want you to win in every point that you have
undertaken.
In his letter to the Chronicle Brown
says

how they appreciated the graft prosecution in

way clear TO encourage your policy. Kindly have

the amount due.
Heney's fortnight reply to the man
who couldn't stand the Chronicle any
longer reads:
Many thanks for your kind favor of the goth
instant. 1t Is this sort Of independent action on
the part of good citizens which counts i'm a fight
