Offer From Federals

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-Bin Dahlen,
ex-manager of the Brooklyn Dodg-

date to manage the Brooklyn club
of the Federal League. In fact, he
will not jump to the Feds in any ca
pacity. This was learned on undis-

Several days ago Dahlen received
a telegram from the big men Of the
Federal League telling him to take
over a big business proposition"
The message told the former mana
ger of the Dodgers that "all expenses
of your trip will be guaranteed in ad-
vance"
Dahlen did not answer the tele-
gram and will not.

GREAT BATTLE
yellow Jackets Lose, 29 to "a,

~ EORGIA'S great basketball

score of 29 to "a last night
after the greatest college battle ever
held in the South The Red and
FBlack boys came to Crystal Palace

From start to finish it was a royal
struggle. The guarding of both
teams was excellent, but fourteen
field goals being thrown-eight by
Georgia and six by Tech.
Georgia won out in the final min
utes of play Tech led at the end of
the first half, Is to IA.
Peacock put up great game at
forward for Georgia, covering the ball
and passing in grand fashion. But it
was his ability at turning fouls into
points that really proved his worth to
Georgia, as he rang thirteen baskets
by this route.
Lester got away for his only bas-
kets of the evening in the latter part
n the game, but he made them when
they were badly needed by his team,
thus making up in a way for being
held scoreless in the first half Raw
son played good ball at guard, break
ing up the team play of Tech re-
peatedly by his splendid work.
The whole Tech team deserves es-
pecial credit for the manner in which
they fought the Georgia bunch dur
ing the game, never for an instant
letting their opponents rest.
Rivias and Mitchell played the
game of their lives at guards for
Tech rushing in and securing the
ball and working it back down the
court to their forwards time after
time Their passing was great.
Struppa did yeoman service at an
nexing points, tallying seventeen. He
was all over the court, disputing the
possession of the ball with a Georgia
man the instant he was loose. He
shot couple of pretty goals from
long distances.
The Tech team lost, but it can con-
sole itself with the thought that it
gave Georgia their hardest fight of
NE season, after being counted out
almost before the game was started.

KEEP MONEY AT
HOME; BUY HERE
A. ]. Ruhl Makes Plea for Support
of Local Institutions

The Copper Country Commercial
Club had it's inception according to A.
j. Ruhl Of Houghton. the first speaker
on the banquet program last evening,
i'm little meeting of the copper coun-
try iobbers and merchants and busi-
ness men of the Calumet district held
early last year in Houghton for the
purpose of discussing mutual prob
lens The great complaint OF all pres
ent was the great number of old estab-
lished residents who were leaving the
district for the reason they could not
find satisfactory employment for their
families at home. With the idea pri-
marily of remedying this condition and
taking up other matters of like inn
portance, the Commercial Club came
into existence short time later.
There are many people who wonder
il something cannot be done by the
Commercial club to counteract the
tendency of many to send outside Of
the copper country for what they
want" Mr.. Ruhl stated. "There is a
good deal that can be accomplished by
the Commercial club along these lines.
There arc good many things that can
be bought for less money at home than
abroad and practically everything can
be bought in the copper country at as
low a price as in the outside world,
provided the purchaser sends his
money in the envelope as he does to
the mail order house.
Merchants of the copper country
must also remember the home institu-
tions. From the habit formed years
ago, when IT was impossible To pur-
chase "A number of things in the cop
per country, merchants still continue
to do a large quantity of business else
where. When they want printing,
store fixtures, shoes and other lines,
they neglect to ash the local man for
his prices. The time is passed when
these things cannot be purchased as
cheaply and of as good quality right
here in the copper country.
Every man should give his sup
port to local institutions. Are we sup
porting the fellows we already have
here?
1.-TWO million dollars or more has
been invested in copper country enter
prises that don't get the support they
are entitled to. This has become n Sc
rious problem. Think II over

SHOULD RAISE
own PRODUCTS
W. J. Reynolds Calls Attention to
Great Copperdom Need

w j. Reynolds of Laurium called at
tention to the agricultural opportunity
of the copper country. Help the other
fellow and endeavOr to overcome
strife" was his plea.
1--WE are not producing one e-half the
food products we are capable of pro-
ducing or one half the food products
required by our people he asserted
I'VE have just as good an opportunity
as many other parts of the country to
produce what we need, and still we get
our foodstuffs from Wisconsin and
other states. 4 1000 pound steer is
worth from 500 to 1925 on the hoof
and the ordinary COW, after 1t has out
lived its usefulness in the dairy is
worth twelve cents per pound for beef
"A value of $65 or $40. We can grow
beef Just as well In the copper country
There is no better place in the country
for the growing of chicken. why
should we send To some other part of
the country for what we need our
selves?
I'VE must try To be big enough to dc
something for the other fellow as well
as ourselves.
'There can he no gain without ef-
fort and ambition. Let us try to pro-
duce things need and with the
grand backing from our great mines
let us work together toward the end of
a better copper country in the richest

SPLENDID TALK
ON The Value OF
COOPERATION
Col. Lou J. Beauchamp Outlines
Practical Means of lncreas-
ing Business

Col. Lou J Bcauchamp, in talk
brstiing with wit ana story, gave the
members Of the club some splendid
ideas on getting together, suggesting
methods Of combating the compati-
tion of mail order houses. getting out
after new business, placing an auto
truck service in commission 50 as to
make 1t easy for people in outlying dis
tricts To come to the respective towns
to do their buying offering them some
substantial reasons why they should
patroniZe home institutions.
Someone has said tho greatest
thing in the twentieth century" h.
said, "is the development of the power
of cooperation, the awakening of the
spirit Of brotherhood. This is getting
together
You people of the copper country
have just had marvellous exhibition
of getting together, when your self
constituted conservators Of the peace
restored order in the copper country
and cowcd and conquered for all time
in this community the most dangerous
| element that ever threatened the well
fare of any industry. By your stand .
ing together as YOU have, YOU have
stiffened the backbone of commercial
endeavor all over the United States.
Mr.. Beauchamp drew comparisons
with the getting together" movement
ment in his own town, Hamilton, Ohio
necessitated by the recent floods and
said:
such magnificent organizations n
the Commercial club and our Mer-
chants association and Board of Trade
can teach one grand lesson above all
others and that is the lesson that one
flag alone shall float over the people of
this broad land, and that flag shall bo
the stars and stripes and not the ban
ner of solid red. When you have done
this, YOU will be done for all time with
the Meyers, the Won't Workers that
threaten revolution and the dcstruc-
| tion Of this country.
THE proper way to meet the com
petition of mail order houses is To meet
| their prices This can he done without
loss to the home merchant. Have each
| local house run in opposition to the
mail order house. Set your goods up in
comparison with theirs, meet theii
prices or better them. What is the use
| of continually growing while they are
getting the millions. Let ii be known
| YOU can do as well by your patrons as
they can and stop the sending OF
| money away from home. BY so dong
YOU will provide employment for more
CLERKS at home, for more families ana
will help to build up your community
You can build up any community
