All Produce To
Self By Pounds
The Result no Doubt be Beneficial to
all Altho a Slight Advance in
Price Of Bushel May Result

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 11.-Pro-
fessor D. f. Ladd's order COM
pelling produce handlers of the
state to change their system of
selling from the ounce measure to
the pound weight plan, becomes
effective Dec. l. This is one of
the most sweeping orders promul-
gated by the states pure food
department It is in line with
the policy adopted by the state
that full weights be given a step
in which North Dakota is pio-
neer.
One direct result Of the order is-
sued by Professor Ladd will be
an increase in the price OF a
bushel of practically all kinds Of
produce. Potatoes heretofore
sold in a bushel measure must un-
der the order weigh up to the
sixty. pound mark to be consider
ed full bushel There will be
no increase in the actual price of
the produce as the buyer will re-
ceive more to the bushel than he
did previously, AS quoted, how
ever, a slight advance in the price
of bushel will doubtless result.
Shrinkage is another thing that
will have its effect on the prices
of produce Potatoes put in the
fall weighing 60 pounds will'be
found to have decreased in weight
by the time spring arrives. This
is factor the handler of such
produce will have to take into
consideration in determining his
new scale of prices,
Apples, too, will come under the
new regulation. and will hereafter
have to be sold by the pound, as
will great many other products.
It will take some time tor the
merchants TO get accustomed to
the new order of things, but Com
missioner Ladd is firm in his be-
lief that the conditions resulting
from the order will be beneficial
all around.
North Dakota. about a year and
a half ago, ordered that weights
of the contents of containers, such
as crackers etc., be stamped on
the outside of the package. As a
result, several large concerns with
drew from the state, preferring to
loose the territory rather than to
give the true weight Of their goods.

INDICATIONS POINT THAT WAY

Chicago, March 23.-Uniycrslty Of
Michigan authorities will make appli-

to statements made recently at the
University of Chicago. II was said at
the maroon campus that the maize and

into the big event and that the confer

Leaders among the Chicago alumni

sumption of the schools participation

the Wolverines do not re-cnter the con-
ference proper. Director Rartelme is
known to favor competition with big
eight" colleges more than Director
Baird did, while Keene Fitzpatrick's
absence is looked upon as another fla
vorable sign for Michigan's application.
The acceptance or rejection of the
Michigan request will be up to the

AT this stage OF "a training season
there are always "A few youngsters
who, pcrceiying that they are the DOS

If the magnates could hear some of
the remarks which the colts make at
such times there would be bloodshed,
in all probability. At any rate. huge
indignation would be perfectly ex-
cusable.
Talk like this rouses the disgust of

AID W0LCAST REMINDERS
UPHILL CLIMB TO TILE
Lightweight Champion Not Likely
to Dissolve Partnership With
His Manager.
ONCE RODE ON BRAKEBEAMS

Ad Wolgast hasn't forgotten the
brakebeam. Just now the champion
lightweight OF the world Is riding on
the velvet of the finest railway equip
mont as he shoots around the country
on his theatrical stunts. But Adolph
isn't forgetting the time that he rode
the brakebeams, the days when he was
beating his way on freights and hoping
some brakey wasn't going to heave
him off. He realizes that the brake
beams are but little way from the vel
vet.
Now when fighter, or any one for
that matter, remembers that the brake
beams are not far away he is going to
get along pretty well. That's tho way
il is with Wolgast. The little cham
pion. the smallest man who ever held
undlsputed claim TO the lightweight
title is going to hang on to his coin.
His ambition is TO buy up as much of
wexford county as he possibly can.
He realizes that land is about as good
an Investment as he can make and
that being the case ne has grabbed OF
a neat slice of territory near Cadillac
and has an option on few hundred
acres more. High living doesn't APP
peal to Adolph w. For this reason
he is apt to keep quite a distance from
the brakebeams for the remainder of
his life.
There was story sprung recently
that doesn't look good. II is to the
effect that Wolgast has laid plans to
ditch his manager and take up again
with Frank Mulkern. But if anyone
hands you the dope tell him he's off
Wolgast is going to stick by the man
who made him a champion. He had
nothing but praise for Jones.
But everyone has gotten so used &c
seeing man win a championship and
then ditch his manager and the mar
who made him at the earliest possible
moment that unless they know AZ
Wolgast personally they jump at tho
conclusion that he will do the same
thing. Jack Johnson ditched Sam Fitz-
patrick: Jim Jeffries now has nothin9
to do with Billy Delaney, Billy PapkC
got rid of Tom Jones who now looks
after Wolgast after Ketchel had re-
gained the title, which Ketchel himself
sidetracked Joe O'Connor for Willis
Britt. But the rule isn't going to hol(
in Wolgasts case.

If Beeman wins his match against
Kangas. il is likely that he will be
matched to meet Karl Lehto, the Fin

siderably heavier than Beeman II Il
believed that the science and speed O
the latter will make him a good oppo.
nent for Lehto. If he defeats Kanga'
he will earn a right to meet the Fin

DAVIS STOLE FIRST BASE.
Unusual Play Was Once Pulled OH BY
Harry Davis.

Harry Davis of the Athletics, Is
the only player who ever stole first
base i'm an American league game.
Davey Futz, who was the star base
runner Of the league for couple or
seasons, was on third base and Davis
on first. Davis sought to draw throw
so as to give Fultz chance to score
but the catcher refused to make the
try and Davis went down to second
unopposcd.
This did not satisfy Harry, how
ever, and on the very next ball
pitched he started back to first
This time the catcher lost his head and
being nonplusse6 by the unusual play
threw to the FIRST baseman. This was
Just what Fultz was waiting for ana
he dashed for home. The first sacker
returned the ball to the plate, but 1t
was too late, and Fultz scored and Da-
Wis was on first base once more.

c. c. 8 |. RAILROAD TO Be
SOLD IN ITS ENTIRETY

In a report made to the clerk of the
federal court yesterday Noble c. But
Ter, special master in the Chicago, Gin
cinnati g. Louisville railroad litigation,
recommended the property to be sold in
its entirety and proceeds of the sale,
after the costs are paid, be applied to
mortgages executed to the Old Colony
Trust company of Boston; the Union
Trust company of Indianapolis, as
trustees. and the American Trust COM
pany of Boston.
There are three divisional mortgages
and one general mortgage. The divi-
siona1 mortgages are executed to the
Old Colony Trust company and the I'm
ion Trust company as trustees, and ag-
gregate s3,154 900. The general mort
gage was executed to the American
Trust company and the Union Trust
company to secure the bonds of the
company as now organized, and is for
$3,016,000s
The road extends from Chicago to
Cincinnati through Indiana. 1t is now
in the hands of receiver. Several
railroads. two of which have no entry
into Chicago. are after the railroad and
when the property is placed under the
hammer by the United States court on
the steps of the Federal building the
bidding will no doubt be spirited.
Two southern railroads, the Chesa-
pealxe g. Ohio and the Southern raiiNay,
will be ANON gthe bidders. Neither of
these roads reaches Chicago and they
are anxious for entry into the city
by the lake. President George w.
Stevens of the c. & o. has made several
inspection trips over the road and or

should be purely non-sectarian and that
our society should be one of the first
to come to the front and advocate the
erection of such cottages, and I believe
that we will receive the support of

checking of this disease is most i'm

women, should become deeply and Wit

This disease. or as it is often known.
this plague is one which must be check
ed and can be checked only by educat-
ing those who are afflicted. They must
be taught to sleep by themselves. to
eat from their own plates, to use their
own towels and to be very careful
when in the act of expectorating.
I feel that this society should take a
deep interest in this subject, and for
that reason + will request that mo-
ton be presented before we adjourn

appointed to ask various ladies' socie-
ties of the city of Gary to cooperate

this committee be empowered to act for

that committee be instructed to place

HOSPITAL IN A TREEToP.

Medical Missionary's Plan For Curing
Consumption In Persia.
A cottage hospital for the treatment
Of tuberculosis, each cottage. to be
built in treetop, was recently an
nounced as the plan of DIR. Arthur
Funk, medical missionary of the
Presbyterian church, for graduating
the disease in Persia. DR.. Funk OBJ
tanned his idea from d. O. Steinberger,
resident of Urbana, o., whose home
is in the branches Of a giant oak.
When the Stenberger home was CON,
structed its owner was a victim OF
pulmonary trouble He now claims to
be fully recovered and asserts that.
his life eighty feet above ground is
responsible for his good health.
DR.. Funk and his wife are stationed
at Hamadan, city Of 5000 popula-
ton, about 200 miles west Of Teheran.
They are confident that the treetop
plan will materially reduce the number
of tubercular cases in their district.
