BASKETBALL SCHEDULE
 WILL BEGIN SATURDAY
HENDRIX WILL MEET LITTLE ROCK HIGH SCHOOL ON LAT
 TIERS COURT.

The first game of basketball for the Hendrix College five will be played next Saturday, when the local bas- keteers meet the Little Rock High School huskies on Little Rocks court. The Bulldogs crew of basket-tossers have been busily engaged in practice rehearsals since the holidays, and are in fairly good form for the opener. Coach Headrick has squad of 25 as pirants out every afternoon for prac- tice, among whom are the following men of last years team Capt. Giles, w. Wilson, Nixon, Harton and Cos sett. Others who are showing up well in practice are Legg, Wagoner, Me Christian and Roy Wilson, all of whom are first-year men.
 Local supporters are very enthusi- astic over Hendrix chances for win ming the championship in basketball this year. With five teams at work every afternoon, it will be quite diff cult for the coaches to select the best men, but before the championship games are played they will have a line on each man, making it less perplex- ing.
 Although the complete schedule has not been arranged, games have been arranged with Crossett, Hamburg, Ouachita, Henderson Brown and Ionesboro Agricultural College.

New York, June 5.-The big man

is HOSTING.

Tamarack is earning no profits from
mining, but loses less money by oper-
ating than i'm lying idle and piling up
fixed charges for pumping, taxes, etc.
Shaft has been hosting rock for
nearly two weeks. There are 109 men
underground and "A total working
force of 225. The total Tamarack per-
sonnet at full working strength should
number $50, and this number will be
reached in few weeks. No. 3 should
attain its normal production rate of
400 tons by mid-June or early July.
The ore hoisted will come from levels
1928 inclusive. and should average
10 to 1914 pounds per ton.
Shaft No 3 is enjoying the finish
ing touches of repair work and is
about ready to begin hosting rock It's
production and grade should be similar
to that of No. 5.
Plans just now do not call for the
reopening of shaft No. 9, which is
tributary to both the Osceola amyg
daloid and the Calumet conglomerate
lodes. No. 2 may, however, be added
subsequently. especially if the price
of copper picks up, and labor contin-
ues superintendent.
The normal output from Shafts 3
and 3 for the second half year, 1914,
should amount to $4,000 tons of say,

of copper. Costs are difficult to estl-
nil
at Tamarack a period Of worse travail
and readjustment than that which the
other Michigan mines have already
gone through. In readjusting them
selves to the new conditions developed
by the strike. Even the wage basis
at Tamarack is still in the expert
mental stage. Most of the men are
new to the work, and this means more
to Tamarack than to other mines. II
will be a surprise, indeed, if costs per
ton run as low as $3.50 comparing
with $2.6S in 1901, $2.23 in 1912,
and $2.S1 last year, the last figure be-
ing exceptionally high because of the
strike.
There will be no new construction
at Tamarack mine or mill this year,
and total costs per pound should be
between 143s and 14% cents. This
estimate. though, is based on reach
ing as low as $3.50 per ton for mining
milling costs. If per-ton costs prove
higher then costs per pound may rise
above Is cents and possibly approach
16 cents.
On 14h cent copper metal, lamar
ack cannot hope for better than a
slight loss. The balance sheet for the
year will also show on the loss side
the fixed charges and expensive repair
work during the first Az months of
the year when the mine was idle.

Bad Watering Damaging to Lawns

Washington, ID. c., May 26.-Bad
watering is the cause of almost as
many poor lawns as droughts accord

u. s. Department Of Agriculture. FIRE.
quent watering of merely the surface
of the grass, makes the roots of the
grass grow near the surface, and these
roots should be made to grow down as
deeply as possible i'm order to secure
fine lawn that will resist the hottest
weather of summer
The best method of watering the
grass is to apply a spray for from
to Il hours, the stream being so gentle
that water will not collect i'm sufficient
quantities to run off The water will
then sink down into the soil and the
roots will grow to greater depth.
When this method is used, the lawn
should not be watered oftener than
twice a week and then the ground
should be soaked, so that the water
penetrates for several inches beneath
the surface. AS a general rule, water
ing once week is sufficient to keep a
lawn in good condition.
Good Method Suggested.

lawn in the evening for a half hour
