KLAUS TOUTEO
AS A CHAMPION

PITTSBURG, Pa. Dec. 16.-
Frank Klaus, the Pittsburg middle
weight, on his showing against
Jack Abbott here last night, is be-
ing touted as a successor to STAN
ley Ketchell. Although Abbott is
no champion, Klaus victory was so
decisive that the fans are willing
to back him against any Of the
men of his division, barring, per-
haps, Sam Langford. Klaus landed
hard on Abbott's jaw at the end
of the fourth round. When the
gong sent the men into the ring
in the fifth Abbott was unable to
leave his chair.

It Is hoped that the last joker in the

and rooted out but 1t is reInarkab BILE
that there could have been so many.
Way back In the days of granitoid the
specification of a patented formula
gave a monopoly which caused the

When that was knocked out the next
set of concrete specifications were
loaded with a provision that every bid
der must file a fidelity bend for half the
amount of work and file it with his bid
before he knew whether he was going
to get the contract or not. This killed
one letting because bidders could not
afford to pay for bonds before they
had the work to do. Then, when brick
paving became popular, it was dis
covered that the specifications con-

CANNING SEASON OPENS
In Few Days Season Will Be in Full
Swing at Western Grocer Company
MiIls-corn Of Fine Quality as Arc
Also Tomatoes-PIant Best Equipped
in Country.

The corn and tomato canning season
will be on in full blast in a few days
at the Western Grocer Company mills,
which has Just completed new plant
which Superintendent f. G. Mossman,
who has been in the canning business
for many years, declares is the finest
equipped plant in the country today.
Big loads of corn, in bright new
wagons that the mills have purchased.
are being brought to the city from the
farms leased by the company near the
city. Superintendent Mossman says
that the corn is showing up fine. and
the quantity and quality are much bet
ter than the company had reason to ex-
pect or hope for. The yield will be
better than an average one, MI. Moss
man says and the quality is above the
average. The cool nights and the
great amount OF dew that has fallen
has helped the quality of the corn ma
terially.
Over 500 cases were put up at the
plant Friday, and about the same
number today. Today the first tomatoes
were canned, and the quality was
found to be excellent.
The seasons pack of corn, according
to present calculations, will be about
rs, 900 cas- About $4,000 cases Of to
matoes will be packed. Following the
corn and tomato seasons will come
pumpkin, sauer kraut baked beans,
hominy. soaked peas, and sweet peta-
toes. The pack will include from 49,
900 to 10000 cases Of pumpkin. about
the same amount of sauer kraut, about
10000 of hominy. 1000 each Of baked
beans and soaked peas.
Mr.. Mossman says that by the first
Of the new year the mills will have
used between 100000 and 1000, 900
cans into which some Of its products
will have been packed. Cans are
! reaching the city in car load lots every
| third day, each car containing 100000
