Are Farmers Unbusinesslike?

Farmers are very unbusinesslike,
according TO a press bulletin issued
last week by the state banking
department.
state banks in Michigan say Off
cials OF the banking department,
"are being run in more orderly and
systematic manner than at any other
time in the history of incorporated
banking 1t is true however, that
in farming communities the banks
and the department are put to a
great deal of annoyance on account
of the dilatory methods Of farmers in
not attending to their business with
the banks in a prompt and business
manner. Promptness in attending
to banking affairs is taken into con-
sideration and appreciated by both
banker and farmer"
The banking department also an
nounces that it will take notice OF
charges of exhorbitant rates Of in
terest and asks the. public TO report
any instances Of illegal rates either
BIZ bonus, premiums or otherwise.

To stop Holiday Fires.

State Fire Marshal John T. WIN
shin calls the attention of the people
OF Michigan 70 a few Christmas
Donrs.
Lee us not mar this season Of
mirth, goodwill and good cheer by
bringing into it mourning and sad
ness caused by carelessness.
If the people of our state would
observe the 70. owing simple rules
there would be no recurrence of the
holiday fires which are reported to
the department every year.
Don't forget that a resinous tree,
decorated with cotton batting, tinsel
and vanished toys. together with
lighted candles forms a dangerous
bination.
Lon't let currents 'of air blow in
from open windows or doors or the
trees while the candles are lighted.
Don't select infammable decora-
tons for the tree.
Don't put the presents on the tree;
put them under and around IT,
Don't let gaudily dressed Santa
Claus get TOO close TO a blaze.
Don't fail TO have a pail Of water
handy.
Don't put cotton and paper decor
ations too close TO lamps, stoves, or
stovepipes, either in homes or stores.
Don't have defective electrical con-
ditions.
Don't lose Your head, if there is
a fire

SOUNDS FAMILIAR: YES?
From the DAWSON IndeX.l

From the Dawson Index)
The condition of Main street dur
ing the present rainy season would
lead one to wonder why the same
could not be improved by laying
stone the whole way across in the
same manner as the cutters on the
sides are finished. We are told that
the stones on the sides were laid in
the neighborhood of twenty years
ago, and nowhere will you find
loose stone. Several farmers to
whom we have preached the subject
have been unanimous in agreeing
that the street could be paved with
field stone, and volunteered to do
their part in supplying stone from
their farms free of charge. If
enough interest could be aroused in
this matter we believe a much need.
ed Improvement to our Main street
would soon be accomplished.

CYCLE MIDDLE is
UP TO CHAPMAN
Riders Will Confer With VelO.
drOme Manager on Motor
drOme Proposition.
MAY ASK FOR GUARANTEE

The meeting of the American Rae.
ing Cyclists Union, which was hello
at the Yelodrome yesterday after
noon, has not cleared the cycling sit
uation. The expulsion OF Jay Eaton
the secretary and vice-president; the
appointment of Joe Fogler as tenn
porary secretary and the passing OF
a resolution to the effect that no ac-
tion would be taken by any riders
until a conference was held with
John Chapman. manager of the Velo-
drome, was the sum total of the
business transacted by the cycling
diplomats.
With the exception of Alfred Gren-
da, the silent one all of the twenty
professionals at the meeting ex-
pressed their views of the situation.
The general trend was to stick to the
Velodrome, but, if possible, to force
the management of the track to put
up a certain guarantee or bonus for
every professional. This matter is
to be the subject of the conference
that is to be held with Manager
Chapman when the union meets
again next Monday.
At one time the meeting waXed
warm, when Champion Frank Kra-
mer, the president of the union, ex-
pressed his views of Jay Eaton, the
instigator of the "insurrection." Kra-
er requested Eaton TO resign as an Of
ficer of the union, but the latter re-
fused This aroused Kramer to
militant state. The "champer" stated
that the National Cycling Association
had been more than kind in reinstat-
ing Eaton, who was suspended in
1900 for riding supposedly crooked
match race with Orlando Stevens at
the old quarter-mile track of which
he was the lessee and manager at
the time. Kramer declared that pro-
moter who would be a party to such
a scandal should never have been
taken back into the fold
Joe Fogler was also strong in his
denunciation of Eaton and his pres
ent actions. He said that he was re-
ally automatically out of the union,
but that the riders had given him an
opportunity to retire gracefully.
All of the riders agreed that it
would sound the death knell of
cycling in this city to divide the pres
ent field between two tracks and
that they had best adjust their griev-
ances with the promoters and stick
together.
All of the professionals, with the
exception of Eaton, will compete in
the professional race carded for to-
morrow at the Velodrome. Twenty
eight amateur riders will not ride to-
having pledged themselves
to hold Bout until the amateur prizes
have been increased to meet their
demands. Eighty-one amateurs have
entered tomorrow's races.

on Seton Halls baseball staff this
season. After the game against the
Mt. ST. Joseph's nine at South Or
ange yesterday afternoon, young
man named Gilmore must be taken
into consideration. Peploski, of
course, has been doing stunts right
along, and for years, but Gilmore
has much to be proud of over his
performance. For eight innings he
held his opponents scoreless and with
only two hits to their credit. Then
his teammates got into action, max
ing three errors in the final round
and allowing the visitors to amass
four solid runs. This number of tall
lies, however, was not sufficient to
overcome Seton Halls lead, and the
South Orange college boys came
through with an to 4 decision. Gill
more has much as a twirler to COM
mend him, and he has the added
feature of being a very nifty hitter.

Mike Gibbons came back with bells
on last night. He made Jack McCar-

but he seems to reserve his terrific

Westchcster cup. are vastly impressed
with the class and breeding of the

will be decided TO a great extent, by
the speed and endurance of the
ponies, the English equipment is be-

Over a score of college baseball
games are on the card for today.
Princeton will play Cornell at Ithaca,
while Harvard will battle with Penn
sylvania at Philadelphia, in the two
most important contests. Cornell is
represented by a surprisingly strong
team this season, and judging from
the Tigers showing to date, the Ma

Yale and Holy Cross will fight for
supremacy at Worcester, Mass. The
Bulldog has won fourteen straight
games and nothing can stop them, it
seems. In meeting Holy Cross, how

bination that is and has been for

college baseball teams.
Williams and Dartmouth will clash

The professional bike riders win for

races that are TO be decided at The

elimination trials of the big Newark
Thousand" the race with purse Of
$1,000 attached The amateur field
will be reduced from 105 TO eighty
one riders, but with the exception OF
Tommy Smith, all of the leading
"simon-pures" will be on hand.
The semi-finals of the Newark
Thousand and the repechage heat OF
this race is the top-liner on the bill.
The arrangement of the heats VIII

each of them. In the first semi-final
ALI Goullet, of Australia; Joe Fogler,
of Brooklyn, and Frank Cavanagh, OF
Newark, will meet. ALI Grenda'
Jackie Clark and Eddie Rupprecht
viii fight it out in the second semi,
and in The third final trial Champion
Frank Kramer and Freddy Hill, of
Boston. will meet the winner of the
7 repechage. AS winners only will make
the final, all three of the semi-flnals
should result in great battles. In the
repechage heat, for which the riders
who finished second in the heats run
last Sunday are eligible, Elmer Col
Inns. Floyd Krebs, John Bedell, Percy
Lawrence. Alvin Loftes, Pete Dro-
bach and Anthony Manzo will be the
starters. Jay Eaton qualified Tor the
repechage, but he viii not be start
er. John Bedell and Manzo did not
make the repechage, but as the riders
who finished ahead of them have left
for Lalt Lake they will be permitted
TO start.
: The other events on the bill are
match in which Jackie Clark VIII
meet Frank Cavanagh; three-mlle
omen and half-mile handicap pro-
fessional; an unknown distance race
one-third mile handicap and novice
for the amateurs, and five-miie
tandem paced race. in which George
Wiley, the middle-distance champion
of the world, will meet Elmer
Collins.

a single opponent on the track, Last
season Cavanagh showed surprising
ability in dual events by defeating
twa foreign importations, Carlo Mes
Sc an Italian rider of note, and
Ma seel Dupuy, of France. If Clark
falls before Cavanagh's speed tomor-
row he will lose much prestige, ana
as a drawing card in match races his
value will be greatly reduced. This
is the race in which Clark must
make good
The three-mile open, the big
scratch race on the bill, will bring
out the entire field of professionals IN
a one-heat race. The reduction OF
the usual distance of five miles
should make this more spirited con-
test. Kramer, who has not won a
race over the long route this season,
should show to better advantage in
this contest, which no doubt will find
big field in at the finish. There are
the usual lap prizes to make the
going fast.

GIBBONS PUNCHES
M CARRON AT WILL
But Mike Shows He's a Very
Clever Boxer, Not a
Great Fighter.

Mike Gibbons, of st. Paul, defeated
Jack McCarron, of Allentown, in
ten-round bout at the Garden A. c.,
New York, last night Mike showed
all his fancy boxing, running the
scale of the counters. hooks, gross
punches and uppercuts till he had
planted his glove all over Jack from
his waistline to his eyes. McCarrou
weighed 1541s pounds. Gibbons four
pounds less.
The bout was simply fuss and
feathers for three rounds, Gibbons
smiling and kidding McCarron. In
the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh
sessions Gibbons took the match
seriously. BY working in sidewise
like the blade of a knife he shook up
McCarron with singing rights to the
face, but after each punch he failed
to follow up his advantage. This
respite from punishment gave Nc
Carron a. chance to recuperate. Glib
| bons again showed he was fancy
| boxer but not a real fighter.
| Gibbons's younger brother, Tom, y
| made a decidedly good impression in
| the semi-final. For ten rounds he
| punched Young Mike Donovan, the
New York middleweight. at will, fore
| ing Donovan around the ring with a
| fusilade of left jabs, varied now and
then by right swing to the head
At times the punches came SO be-
wilderingly fast in Donovan's direc-
ton that he scarcely knew whether
he was in the ring or dancing on his
ear. 1t was a lucky thing for Dono.
van that Gibbons lacked a knockout
wallop in his repertoire.
