two boats were left way behind be-
fore the spar buoy was reached. The
Gimlet had no ballast in at all. This
might be presumed to be a good thing
for light airs, but turned out to be
entirely the contrary, as she would not
hold the water and came very near
refusing to 60 about, even with her
centerboard way down.
Wilder Boat Gains.
From the spar buoy to the bell buoy
was a reach. Here the Wilder wren
gained quite little, but Mary pass
ed the mark first and then gained a
nifie on the run back to the spar
buoy. Running dead before the wind
up to the quarantine dolphin, the VIII
der boat brought the breeze along with
her and very nearly overhauled Mary.
But not quite.
The strongest breath of the day was
on the close reach from the quaran-
tine to the marine dolphin. Honors
were even between the two leaders at
this stage of the game. After round
ing the marine dolphin, Harry Wilder
kept over by the Channel wharf, while
Mary went straight across. The lat
ter gained considerably by this.
Then the Wilders made another big

On the reach back to the spar buoy,

Although the Beers slipped it over
on the Japs in the first game at the
Athletic Park yesterday afternoon, the
-Japs now have the championship, as the
Beers forfeited the game by playing
Kealoha. Knowing that they had the
championship in their hands, perhaps
the Japs did not play quite up to their
usual snuff
However it was, most of the Beers
runs were made on errors, and several
of the Jap players seemed to have
bad day of. But it was an interesting
game and was enlivened by the extern

supporters, who yelled "banzai' iron

inning Umpire McHenry called the

the result of the game had no effect
whatever on the result of the series.

ALL THE WAY FROM OREGON.
To Attend the Mankato Commercial
College.

Hugh and Carl Aspinwall of Brooks,
Oregon, arrived in Mankato yester
day to attend the Commercial col
lege. They might have attended bus
mess college nearer their home, but
they realized that it would pay them
to attend the best school. Their elder
brother, Britt Aspinwald, who lives in
Oregon, wrote to Brandrup & Nettle-
ton that he was sending his brothers
long distance to attend school; that
he was doing so because he knew the
Mankato Commercial college to be one
of the finest schools in the country,
and that his brothers would be taken
good care of. His exact words are:
1.-The only reason L have for sending
my brothers, Carl and Hugh, to your
school, is that l know your school
to be far superior to any in the west
and that you will do the right think
by them. As they have no friends or
relatives in your city l wish you
would look after them and see that
they get a good place to stay"
1t is certainly gratifying to Messrs.
Brandrup & Nettleton that their school
is so well and favorably known
throughout the northwest.

AARKETFARM PRODUCTS HIGH PRICE OF PORK
SUGGESTIONS OF FINANCIAL IN
TEREST TO FARMER.
Farmers Should Combine Their Pro-
ducts and Sell Collectively.

Proper marketing of farm products
profits of the farm as has the proper
growing of crops and live stock. Dur
ing the past year, most farm products
have been very good, but the fact
remains, nevertheless, that many have
taken less for their products than they
rightly should, considering the prices
paid for them by the consumer. 1t
is true also that some large farmers
are getting more for their products
than the average. 1t is to make
plain some of the reasons for this
that this article is written.
A farmer in the Red River Valley
who raises several hundred acres of
potatoes each year has been able to
develop a market for them largely for
seed purposes, and he consequently
gets better price. He does not raise
a superior quality of potatoes, but he
has great many carloads of the
same variety. Any group of small
farmers who will get together and
agree on some one, or at most, two
OF three varieties of potatoes to grow,
and then leave it to some one man
to sell the whole product so that
carloads of one variety may be SOLD
can get as good prices for their pota-
toes as does this large farmer. If it
costs % cents per bushel to grow
potatoes, and they are selling at 30
cents per bushel, there is net profit
of > cents per bushel. If small lots
of mixed potatoes are selling at 30
cents, car lots of a straight and stand
ard variety will easily bring 30 cents.
This will double the net profit, and
the second cent profit is much more
easily earned than the first. There
are large possibilities for increased pro-
fit on our farms by paying closer at
tention to the business side.
Any business man can afford to and
will make a closer figure on large
ing supplies OF selling some product
The man who comes to the business
man with large deal gets better
price than he could afford to make on
a smaller amount. Farmers may get
the benefit of doing business on Il
large scale by clubbing together in
buying and selling. We do not mean
the organization of large farmers
trust to arbitrarily regulate prices, but
simply the cooperation of a few farm
ers in neighborhood so that products
may be sold and supplies purchased
in a businesslike way.
The most excellent results obtained
with the cooperative creamery should
be duplicated in many other branches
of the farming industry. That means
that several farmers will get together
and so operate their farms and mar
ket their products as to be able to
offer for sale large and constant
supply of a uniformly good product

REPORT FROM LIBRARY
SCHOOLS MAKING BETTER USE OF
THE LIBRARY.
Many More Books Are Needed to Ac-
commodate the Teachers and
Students in Schools.

Miss Maud van Buren,, librarian, sub
mits her monthly report of the library
to the board of directors:
To the Board of Directors
men: Herewith is submitted the report
of the Mankato public library for Sep
TENDER, 1909.
The library was closed on the after
moon of Sept. %, out of respect for
our late governor, leaving twenty-five
and half days for the circulation of
books and twenty nine and half days
for reading and reference use with re-
suits as follows: Adult fiction 1872;
non fiction, 1855; juvenile fiction, 385 !;
non fiction, ego, total 1892, slight
increase over last September. Sixty
six German books were issued. The
lreading rooom attendance was 1853,
an increase of 3l6 over last September.
One hundred and sixty books
were added, making the total number
of accessions l6,Sl3. More German
books are badly needed and now that
the admirably selected A. L. A. list
of Scandinavian books is ready,
would recommend that an Immediate
purchase of this class of books be
made, as the demand is quite as ur-
gent as for German books.
The library is weak also in classes
science, useful arts, fine arts and
travel, so much of our book fund hav-
ing been required for repairs and addi-
tional furnishings that it has been i'm
possible to properly augment the book
collection.
The schools are making better use OF
the library than ever before and many
books are needed for this phase of
the work.
The librarian met the public school
teachers at their annual September
meeting and outlined the privileges the
library offers educators and students.
Instead of the regular autumn visits
of the librarian to the schools, the
various grades are visiting the library
where brief talks are given on the care
of books and the arrangement of the
books in the children's ROOM
A meeting of the Junior Civic league
was held in the auditorium on the
18th.
Books have been received from Mrs.
IS. P. Meredith and Mrs. Anna Kraus.
Respectfully submitted, Maud van
Buren,, librarian.

LIGHT RECEIPTS THE REASON
GIVEN FOR THIS.
Hogs Have Been Backward This Year;
$40 Paid for Fancy Stock
in Chicago Market

The hog, that homely animal which
furnishes the fragrant ham, bacon and
juicy porksteak, has been backward
this year about coming forward, and
that is the reason why pork is so high
in the butcher shops. Record prices
for Minneapolis meats, and household
ers paying high prices for pork chops,
have brought blame upon the butchers,
who in turn lay it upon the packers.
The packers have calmly pointed to a
price of $50 for hog on the hoof at
South st. Paul, and $S.4O for the same
at Chicago. He could not help it, the
packer said, for only small part of a
hog dresses out into the fancy cuts,
and people who want them have to
pay accordingly.
Now comes that final source of proof,
which, tradition says, never tells a
lie. Statistics are here. Cold, I'M
mistakable figures, properly vouched
for, show there has been smaller
number of hogs to cut the fancy
meats off of, hence, logically, with as
many people, or even more people to
eat them, steaks had to be higher.
Fewer Hogs Received.
This may not satisfy everyone, but
it is fact, that fewer hogs have
been received at the great markets
this year than last. The South St.
Paul figures for September and for
the nine months of 1909, were issued
today. They tell a story of smaller
movement of hogs from the farms to
the markets.
Corn has been high for several
seasons. When corn is high, there is
less desire on the part of the farmer
to feed hogs. He is likely to market
more corn direct, and have fewer hogs
to sell.
1t will be noted that while the
cattle, calves, sheep and horses re-
ceived, varied moderately in numbers,
the hog receipts fell off greatly. Sheep
and calves increased. Thus while the
total livestock receipts were lighter
by 2ll,349 head, compared with last
year the hog receipts were lighter
by 229,S79 head.

eral proposition to the baseball asso-

for five years of block of land in
his addition, the association to have
the option of buying or leasing the
land for a longer term. This offer
is made with the single provision that
the street car line is extended to the
corner of the block, a distance of
three blocks from its present terminus,

bring the car line nearer the fair

Mr.. Dukes has visited the local
hospitals and gained several ideas that
he will make use of in the building
that he is erecting to present to the
city of Peru, Ind.
Another thing that has attraced Mr.
Dukes attention is the Four Traction
Auto company. He has been investi-
eating the quality of the output of
this company, and believes that if it
was properly financed it would have
a fine future before it. He has been
particularly impressed with the truck
recently purchased by the Hubbard
Milling company. He states that at
Peru the farmers were at first preju-
diced against automobiles, because
they frightened their teams, but that
the prejudice has worn off and that
many farmers are buying machines
themselves. One farmer was particu-
larry antagonistic and announced that
if his team should shy out and ditch
him he would shoot the autoist whose
machine frightened his horses. Now
this farmer is not only friendly to
autoists, but has purchased machine
himself.
