HAS HIS OWN WAR
Gunner With Traction Engine
Plays Lone Hand.
British Officer Tells Of Funny Old
Cove" Who Travels About With
Field Piece and Fires When
He ls Ready.

London.-While 1t is said that mod
ern warfare does not give to the indi-
vidual many chances to distinguish
himself British cavalry officer In a
letter to the London Times tells of
a gunner who carries on little war
of his own. Going about on traction
engine, towing his gun behind him,
he unlimbers, fires few shots and
goes on his own way. That his work
no matter how amusing, is effective is
told by the officer, who says:
There is one incident must cite;
1t amuses us nightly. Some time ago,
when closer to the lines, we were out
exercising one fine morning when the
funniest old outfit came along-some
old guy gunner with big gun towed
by sort of traction engine. He was
funny looking old chap. He stopped
his caravan, consulted some notes, and
swung around into position and let off
couple of shots. The first one over
second short, and it appears he was
quite satisfied with the next four, for
he started packing up again.
HE had kind of aeroplane with
him, too, on lorry, also in tow. He
was the funniest looking old cove you
ever saw; seemed to be running lit
tie show of his own. Last we saw of
him was around the corner with his
ty.ao ~ hn1 H. h.
ditch. But 1t appears he knew what
he was about, for he put one Of the
enemy's guns out of action with the
four shots.
Those little motorcycles-we call
them wasps, for they it Is that sting us
into action. You're snugly between
blankets and you hear the snorting
and buzzing of one coming up the
road. You hope he goes on-but no,
he stops outside headquarters. You
hold your breath. II he proceeds at
once it's an Ill omen, as he wants no
reply but his receipted envelope, and
it's turn out full parade marching
order, first line transports and all
He waits, and after five minutes
wriggles on his road, coughing and
snorting and sparkling, and it's all
right and you can go to sleep again.
The wasps-the beggars always get
you on the hop-those are the dis
patch riders, through which all our or
ders come.

PARK FALLS HERE TOMORROW.
League Leaders VIII Cross Bats with
Hurley at the Local Park
Tomorrow Afternoon.

Park Falls and Hurley will lock
horns at the local park tomorrow
afternoon The game will be called
at 2 O'Clock in order that ii may be
finished so that the visitors can re-
turn home on the afternoon 500
line train.
Park Falls was here a few weeks
ago and was forced to swallow the
bitter pill of defeat at the hands of
the locals. They are leading the
league, having lost only three
games this season, and unless Hur-
ley comes out ahead tomorrow their
chances of winning the pennant
will nave gone elimmering. The
local boys are confident of being
able to repeat the dose and Park
Falls is equally confident that they
will carry home the bacon this
time Carroll and Snow VIII make
up the pitching staff for Hurley
with Post behind the bat Ii will
be ladies day and ladies will be
admitted free of charge.
Hurley was scheduled to play at
Mellen last Sunday and plans had
been made to make the trip by spe-
cial train on the 500 line accom-
panied by large number of fans.
The weather man interferred with
their plans, however, and the game
was called off The only games
played last Sunday was at Phillips,
where a team supposed to be the
Bessemer aggregation went through
the movements of ball game.
Phillips, of course, won the games,
a double header, but we under
stand a number of the other teams
in the league have made a protest
and ask that the games be declared
void and not be allowed to figure
in the league standings. 1t is said
that only two Bessemer men were
in the lineup.

SMALL CROP REPORT
 FORCES MARKET UP
Sensational Advance Follows Condition Figures-Net Gain 5S to 66 POints.-Market Rul- ed Very Steady before Report

New York, Oct. 1.-The govern ment's report pointing to the smallest cotton crop since 1909, was followed by sensational advance in the cotton market here today. with prices mak- Ing new high records for the season on excited general buying. January contracts sold up to 12.S7c. or "A points above Saturdays closing fig ures, and more than $5 bale above the low level of last Friday and nearly Sl9 per bale above the level of last summer. Closing prices for 8 or 9 points off from the best, under realiz- ing, but final tone was steady at a net gain of from 5S to 66 points for the day.
 The market ruled very steady before the official condition report was pub lished. The census figures showing .2,900,007 bales ginned to September p this year, compared with 3,393, ,753 bales last season, were published at the opening and were considered in line with small estimates of the yield. This, as well as steady Liverpool ca bles, firm stock market and an un- favorable view of the weather map, helped the opening advance of from 19 to 21 points here, and after re- actions of or ' points, prices again firmed up on bullish Southern crop and spot advices. Buying became a little more active as the time for the condition report drew near and as soon as it made it's appearance indi- eating a condition of cos, or about , per cent under average expectations and a crop of only l0,900,000 bales, excluding linters, the market became even more excited and active than at any time previously since the bull movement began. December contracts sold up to l269c, March to 13.15c. and May to 13.32c or about 70 to "A points above last nights close. Exports to- day were 1882 bales making 6G6,l10 so far this season. Port receipts 36,- 345 bales; United States port stocks ,001 ,21S.
