WOLVERINES WOULD
PLAY TEAM

Ann Arbor, Mich. Dec. 15.-There
Il little doubt that Michigan will ac-
cept Harvard's invitation to a gridiron

learned in Ann Arbor that Chicago
had declined Harvard's invitation. the
hope was expressed among the stu
dents that a game would be arrang-
ed between Michigan and the Cam
bridge team.
The University of Michigan Athletic
association will hold a regular meet
ing this afternoon and it is expected
some action will be taken in that
time in the way of opening negotia-
tons for a game with Harvard.

Governor Tener Expected to
Bring Harmony Into the
-. National Body.

New York. Dec. 15.-Although the
annual meeting Of the National
league held here last week failed to
develop any sensational features aside
from aftermath trading the magnates
are well satisfied with the outlook for
che 1914 season This optimism is
due in great part to the mastery
manner in which President Tener, the
newly elected executive handled at
fairs after he took the gavel. He
made his personality felt from the
start and there was no question as to
N was president. Running the Ma
TONED league is far from being child's
inlay and Lynch,s successor gave the
ampreesion that he is capable of full
nhtng every requirement.
It was this impression of executive
StTe1ogth that heartenei the magnates
for close observers Of the present
drift of sport realize That expenses of
professional baseball are mounting I'D
much faster than attendance figures.
In tact, the attendance records Of
1919 and 1913 fail to show any con
siderable increase. while the cost of
new parks and stands, together with
the tncrease in players salaries. have
cut into the gross gate receipts con-
Blderably. This situation is not due
to n falling Off in the interest in
professional baseball but to conditions
outside the realm OF the game.
One of these factors is the tendency
OF h present-day man to be an ac-
tive rather than passive actor in spors
whereas In the past he would spend
his afternoons and holidays witness
ing baseball and other athletic con-
tests he now uses the same time to
participate in some game Or recrea-
ton himself. Golf. tennis and other
serni-strenuous sports are gaining
more devotees every day.
Membership in walking athletic
and country clubs is increasing rapid
~ In all sections. This movement.
which is along the lines so popular in
England. offers a problem that re-
sfui1'es study and handling by those
who stage athletic exhibitions which
depend for success upon gate receipts.
Fortunately big league business has
10 date held a portion above suspicion
but recent w1angles among club own
ers OF the National league have not
helped the game in tho Eyes Of the
ans. With Tenor as president the
f~ar-eeeing magnates hope for n
harmonious body, working for the adj
vancernent Of both the league and the
sport. II Tener can accomplish this

in 1908 a cargo of ore was shipped
from Virginia to England and
successfully smelted. In 1914, the
first ironworks was erected near
Lynn, Mass.

the crucible process. and various
mechanical devices were patented
about that time, which materially
stimulated the steel industry.

In 1888. the invention OF J. b.
Nielson-the introduction of
heated blast-Caused a tremen-
dous increase in output This
improvement was accompanied by
Nasmyth's steam hammer, and in
1856 Bessemer gave to the world
a process that was astonishing
and remarkable. The discovery Of
the Bessemer process made 1t
possible to produce steel at such
low cost as to extend its use wide
ly, and did much to supersede
wrought iron in structural work.
Bessemer steel is now almost
universally used for steel rails.

health and so on through the
whole list of things worth while.
And by so doing he is fulfilling
his one natural function. He is
strengthening himself for all
time (nOw and forever simply
by using his power in the right
direction.
In short. he has an advantage
over the electric light bulbs, for
he can use his candle power to
the limit, and by so doing in
crease it, instead of burning out

THERE are about 1,5O0.0OO,OO0
people on the earth.
Most of them are intent

A few are intent on giving.
The dynamo sends power along
its lines of conductivity. and all
the electric bulbs pour out light,
each according to its candle
power
If each of these bulbs was in
dependent. if it could think and
move for itself, the efficiency of
the plant might fall considerably
for the individual bulb would then
begin to act like a man.

which the power can not shine.
and while the bulb might easily

find itself short on its main bust

Both Science and Religion are
fairly agreed that a man is the

Steel Everywhere

To follow these different pro-

that the Missable Range and your

piled gas. Steel is everywhere.
Circus horses, farm horses wear
it for shoes. Wire rope in ele-
vators, and in ships and mines

and all kinds of electrical wires
from the ignition wire in the au-
tomobile to the submarine cable.
Aeroplane plates, boiler plates and
castings. We sleep on steel

We use nails and tacks. and the

more or less than big round wire!
We see all these things in the
manufactured goods
we talk OF the tone of our
piano, we boast of the wonderful
speed, endurance and economy of
up-keep of our autos.
We speak of cheap and rapid
transportation: of our spring
beds, our easy shave.
But do we ever associate these
things with the men in the mills?

DICKENS AS he WAS IN 1888
Interesting Description Of Great
Writer Published In the knickeF.
booker Of That Year.

In person he Is little above the
standard height, though not ta1f. His
figure Is slight, without being meagre
and Is we'll proportioned. The face,
that first object Of physical interest. IL
peculiar, though not remarkable. An
ample forehead is displayed under a
quantity of light hair, worn in mass
on one side rather jauntily, and this
Ia the only semblance Of dandyism
In his appearance. His brow is
marked, and his eye, though not large
is bright and expressive. The most
regular feature is the nose, which
may be called handsome; an epithet
not applicable to his lips, which are
too large Taken altogether. the
countenance, which is pale without
sickness, Is in repose extremely
agreeable and indicative Of great re-
1nement and intelligence.
Mr.. Dickens manners and conversa'
tion, except perhaps in the perfect
abandon among his familiars, have no
exhibition Of particular wit, much less
Of humor. He Is mild in the tones Of
his voice, and quiescent, evincing
habitual attention to etiquette and the
conventionalisms of polished circles.
His society is much sought after, and,
possibly to avoid the invitations press
ed upon him, he does not reside in
London, but with lovely wife and
two charming children occupies re
treat in the vicinity. He is about 20
years Of age, but does not lock more
than 20 or "a. Mr.. Dickens Is en-.
tirely self-made, and rose from an
humble station by virtue OF his mora
worth, his genius and his industry

.MACkAY SAYS BURLESON
IS BADLY MISTAKEN
PRESIDENT OF BIG TELEGRAPH
COMPANY DISCUSSES GOV.
-. -EKNNtENT PLANS tA4~ ..
Operating Expenses Under Federal
Management Would Exceed the
Income.

New York, Dec. 26.-Clarence H.
Mackay, president of the Mackay
Companies, being asked what he
thought of Postmaster General Bur-
leson's report that the government
had taken over the telephone and
telegraph lines, said:
1.-THE Postmaster General is mis-
taken In his idea that telephone COM
panies are subject to the post road
act Of congress of 1866. The Sup
RENE Court Of the United States in
the Richmond case held that they
are not. In delominating the tele-
graph business as being monopol-
istic in it's nature, he is also mis-
taken. If there ever has been more
continuous keen and even bitter com
petition than that between the Mack
ay and the Western Union I would
be pleased TO know when and where.
The money QUESTION, however. is the
main question, $90O,OO0,000 would not
be look-in. The Bell Telephone
Companies alone would demand
more than that. Then there are
the thousand of independent tele-
phone companies and farmers lines
scattered all over the country The
entire bill including telegraph lines
would be about $4,000, 100000 which
lis about two-thirds of the national
debt at the close of the civil war
when many intelligent men despair
ed of the solvency Of the republic.
Nor is this the worst Judging from
English experience tf.at vast sum
would be entirely lost because IN
der government management the OPP
GRAFTON expenses year by year would
exceed the income

1000 BALES OF COTTON
ARE YET In THE FIELDS

According to an estimate which
has been made by Capt. J. D. Milner,
government crop reporter of Jeffer-
son county, there are yet in the
fields 1000 bales of cotton. He de-
clares that it will be impossible to
pick all this cotton, as bad weather
has caused large quantity of the
bolls to fall to the ground.
Up to December Is, there had been
ginned total of 40,4S9 bales, more
than 1900 bales ginned during the
entire last season of 1912.
