householders are asking themselves:
"Will this winter see n recurrence of
the conditions of 1909-1O. when the
cost OF living reached its apex and
declined slowly only after many So
called boycotts against meat and other

throughout the land?'
To this question economic experts
answer no. Prices will be higher,
they say, i'm some Instances above

of complaint he did an enormous
amount Of work Though painfully &C.

record for a single season until 1t was
topped by walter Johnson of the Wash

good and he had the number of prac-

Charley burlington. who helpeld Boston

A story Of big salaries paid pitchers,
set up by Nap Ruckcr when he was a
type sticker in Alpharetta. Ga, lured
him from the printing case TO the dia-
mond, and he is one of the best pitch
ers in baseball
Fucker a e-legged youth, sat on
high stool in little print shop, and
fellow printers laughed at him because
he set type left-handed.
Rucker was amazed when he read the
headline: $4,000 for pitching base
ball" The story told Of the big salary
paid Mathewson and other stars.
Rucker set the story in jiffy, grabb-
ed his baseball glove, and without
washing his hands ran from the office.
In half an hour he was pitching for
the Alpharetta Grays, the second nine
of the village.
The next year he pitched for Mari
eta, Ca. a larger village. He won so
many games he was nicknamed Ma
polcon. George is his real name. He
pitched for Augusta in the South At
lantic league, then went 10 Brooklyn.
His best performance this season was
n one-hit game against Cincinnati.
Bob Bcscher with two strikes in the
ninth inning. hit a grounder that boun-
ded over Fuckers head for the only
hit of the game
Rucker is still a printer at heart.

CROWDS.

No effort is being spared by those In
charge of the baseball game TO be
played at the Athletic park Saturday
between teams picked by the president
and secretary of the Copper Country
Trolley league to make it the best of
the season. The sale of tickets so far
has been very encouraging and the at
tendance probably will exceed that of
any other game this year. Both ag-
eFegations are composed of hard hit
ters and accurate ficlders, and the
game will be hard fought throughout.
The Tamarack band, which has vol
unteered it's services for the game will
give screnade on the streets carly
I'm the afternoon, and later will play
several selections at the park. The en-
tire receipts will be given To the Calu-
met Associated Charities, as there will
be absolutely no expenses, no compli-
mentary list or season tickets. The
assistance will be timely for the Char
tiles Bureau. as the association Is al
most without funds, and has many
worthy cases to deal with. In addition
TO the present needs. the outlook for
the coming winter is said to be far
from promising. and the officers an

Experts say that with all feeding

The cost of poultry will be largely de-

country, but in Great Britain and
Germany. In the fall of last year one
courd buy good potatoes i'm the field at
80 cents a bushel; today the prices
