hopeful that classy ball will be fur

The movement started some time
ago by Jack O'Brien for the organi-
cation of a Tri-state league has not
died yet, according to those who are
taking an interest in the probability
for the national game here. 1t is
said a lease has been secured by the
promoters on an excellent ball park,
and that negotiations are being car
ried on in a quiet manner. Those who
claim to be on the inside are reticent,
saying they do not wish to talk until
everything is in readiness.

PLAN AUTO TRIP

PARTY OF LOCAL ENTHUSIAST
WILL UNDERTAKE ENTIRE
TRIP IN MAcHINEs-WlLL
INTEREST OTHERS.

Plans are being made by a party of
well known automobile enthusiasts i'm
Calumet and Laurium to undertake an
unusual trip some time next month.
According TO one of the members of
the party who was seen yesterday. an
attempt will be made to go from CAL
umet to Chicago without resorting to
any means of transportation than their
machines. They are at present about
five In the party that proposes to make
the trip, but it is thought that others
will be interested and that the outing
will assume proportions Of a minia-
tuTe Glidden tour.
Ii the plans now being formulated
are successfully carried out, the tour
will be the first of its kind ever at
tempted by local people Heretofore,
TIE Calumet automobile men have
confined their attentions to short ex-
petitions to points in ands nearby the
copper country, and only a few have
taken their machines outside They
have always been forced to ship the
ears 10y rail to some point where the
roads are good. Now, however, it is
proposed to make the trip via Rock
land and Watersmeet, this route hav-
ing already been found available by
tourists from outside the copper coun-
try.
Those who are considering the un-
dcrtaking are anxious to interest
others in their plans and they would
like to secure expressions from any
one who would like to make the trip.
Steps are now being taken 10 secure
maps of the districts through which
the tourists will pass and the entire
route will be definitely outlined before
the party leaves Calumet.

MANY FAMILIES
AIDED IN JUNE
SECRETARY OF ASSOCIATED
CHARITIES BUREAU MAKES
REPORT FOR JUNE. BUR-
EAU's WORK GROWING

Miss Winnifred Salisbury, i'm charge
of the Calumet Associated Charities
Breau, has completed her report for
June. 1t shows that during the past
month go families were visited, and
relief afforded wherever possible.
Only 81 families were visited i'm June
last year, showing an increase this
year of 23 families. Miss Salisbury is
inclined to the opinion, however, that
the increase does not mean that more
poverty is evident here. but rather that
the work of the society is becoming
more widely known and that people in
need of aid are more confident of the
ability and willingness of the society
TO help them.
Miss Salsbury's assistant, Miss
Jones is in Chicago. where she is taxi
ing a special course I'm charity work,
consequently the number of visits
made last month would have been
more had Miss Jones been on local
duty.
Since the association was organized
n total of LAG individuals have been
seen and aid given through some chan
mel or other. At the present time the
society has considerably more than
300 cases on its books. and this num-
Der probably will be increased instead
of diminished.
During the past month n great
many persons have visited the office
OF the bureau asking for work, espec-
tally. boys and girls just out of school
The association is i'm need of light

the past two or three weeks seeking
advice. etc. with regard to family
problems.
Quantities Of groceries were given
out during the last month to eight diff
ferent needy families, while clothes
also were distributed among a great
many. The association has also been
working a good deal in the juvenile
and circuit courts of this county, and
was especially instrumental in having
one girl sent to the industrial school
at Adrian, which is believed to have
been for the best interests of the girl
and her family.
The association found employment
for only nine people last month. ii be-
ing claimed that there Is a scarcity Of
manual tlobar employment just a
present. This led Miss Salisbury to
remark that she would find employ
ment for a boy II years, who is fairly
strong, but whom the doctors have
forbidden to work underground.
The head of the family is sick and
unable to work, and the mother AL
though not strong is working hard to
support a large family. Work for this
boy would be a god-send TO the fami-
ly, and interest in the case is solicited
