Several subjects of interest are
scheduled for the council meeting to-
day and the session is likely to be a
busy one. One of the subjects which
may be discussed is the Jackman-
lockwood highway, for the construc-
ton of which the last Legislature
made available the sum of $4,000. II
appears that the 31-mile road from
Jackman TO lockwood, long stretch
of it through untracked forests, will
not be built for $4,000 or twice that
amount. The lowest estimates made
for the work without survey have
been around $4,000: a survey has
just been completed by the engineers

estimate Of the cost of the completed
construction may be furnished the

There is some dissension over the

highways. Certain parties desire the

Mr.. Dillon Gives Twelve Reasons Fl
Selling Apples at Auction.

/. When the goods are sold at auc-
ton there is competition among the
buyers for the goods. There is nc
simultaneous competition among the
producers to sell the goods. Prices
are always bid upwards. In private
sales the buyer beats the seller down
wards.
?. The railroad companies and 9TH
err transportation companies, furnish
free of cost, ample space for the dis
play and sale Of the goods, thus saw
ing the enormous rent charges.
8. The railroad companies and 9TH
er transportation companies, furnish
free of cost, or at nominal cost, all
Of the labor employed in the handling
Of the fruit onto wagons or automo-
biles for direct distribution to the re-
tail distributors who buy at the auc-
ton.
4. When fruit is sold at auction it
is loaded directly on the buyers
wagons or trucks. and the shipper is
saved the cost Of carriage. which is
usually charged by private statesmen
whether the goods are actually carted
or not.
5. Foodstuffs sold at auction are
sold Immediately upon arrival unless
they are held over by the shippers
representative. In this way the goods
are not allowed to become stale, dis
colored, or in any way injured before
being used. This saving is important
even in a stable fruit like apples. 1t
is enormous in perishable goods.
6. When foodstuffs are sold at auc-
ton it absolutely eliminates any OPP
portunity for dishonest returns.
Thefts, q any kind or nature, and
partiality to favorite buyers, are also
eliminated.
z. The auction sales save not less
than one-third to three-fourths Of the
cost Of statesmen selling at private
sales. One auctioneer selling Cali

ject of marketing apples:
Selling Apples at Auction.
Commissioner Of Foods and Mar
kets, Mr.. John j. Dillon of New York,
has been very active in fostering an
auction for apples and possibly some
other produce, in New York City.
Guided by the belief that the farmers
of New York We're not receiving a
just return for their products, and
| that the present system is not eff
ficiert, he proposed an auction sales
room under the direct supervision of
the State department.
Mr.. Dillon closed a contract with
the Fruit Auction Co. to sell fruits for
the State at auction, sales to be made
company al 204 Franklin St.
The fruit is to be handled on a
five per cent. commission, plus
charges for labor and cataloging,
which is about two cents per barrel.
After each sale the Auction Co. will
remit. less FIVE per cent and other
charges, to the Food G. Markets De-
partment, who will act as the growers
representative. Each check thus re-
mitted, with copy of the account of
sales. will be sent to the producer by
the department. OF the five per cent.
commission. three per cent. will be re-
tanned by the Auction Co. and two per
cent. will be turned over to the De-
partment to cover their expenses.
At first it was thought that only
York state apples could be sold by the
auction but it has been decided to let
all growers take advantage of it if
they SO desire. Eight hundred cars of
fruit have already been subscribed.
insuring sufficient material to carry
on the business.
Maine fruit thus far has not been
especially we'll received by the New
York commission men. They have
taken the stand that the grading is
not satisfactory. and that there is lit
tie or no call for our fruit. In the
past it was possible for them to dis
courage shipments but with the new
system of selling growers can build
up a desirable trade if they will.
With the auction system. fruit will
sell largely on its merits regardless of
where it is grown, and buyers Will
learn to look for certain brands, where
the packing, grading, and quality are
high class Growers interested in the
New York market should get in touch
with Mr. Dillon advising him as to the
amount of fruit they wish to send, the
variety grade, and general time they
wish to ship.

Crimson Meets
Virginia Today

NEW YORK, Oct 15.-Three games OF
more than ordinary Importance are feat
ures OF the eastern foot ball card to-
morrow, the meeting OF Virginia and
Harvard, Pennsylvania and Navy. and
Colgate and Army, there are unusual
possibilities for upsets and surprises
Should all six teams play strictly TO

is likely to remain in doubt until the
closing period.
Virginia goes to Cambridge with the
prestige Of a victory over Yale to en-
courage the eleven in it's battle against
the Crimson The soutnerners in their
two games to date have rolled up a
total score OF 81 points TO their oppon-
ents' zero. Against Yale the Chariot
tesville team scored ten points and ad-
ded seventy-four in the meeting with
Richmond last Saturday.
Crimson Weakened.
In facing Harvard the eleven from
Virginia will find furthed advanced
ana better coached combination than
Yale lined up on october 2, but it is
doubtful II the Cambridge team can
muster the same power Of attack and
defense that the Ellis showed in crude
fashion two weeks ago. Injuries to sew
eral of Harvards strongest players and
shifts from the regular order of forma-
ton may weaken the Crimson.
At Annapolis the middies will be called
upon to meet, in Pennsylvania. an eleven

its initial honor brackets. Georgetown
and Pittsburgh have both triunphed over
the sailors this season and Pennsylvania
has not escaped, since Penn State de-
feated the big Quakers after the latter
had accumulated three victories at the
expense of Albright, West Virginia and
Franklin and Marshall.
The Army also made a poor start this
season, being tied to Holy Cross in the
oneninr game. but defeated Gettysburg

by Cornell against the same team.
Colgate, on the other nand. has ont

ter by scores of A to 0. With the excAp-

OPEN PLAYS USED PROFUsELY

Bellevue college dedicated its new field
yesterday afternoon with a to 0 victory
over Midland college Of Atchison, Kan
Bellevue outclaesed the Kansans in all
departments OF the game and should have
scored at least twice more Bellevue was
the aggressor throughout and Midland
was within striking distance Of Bellevue's
goal on only one occasion.
Bellevue's touchdown came right after
the start OF the second quarter as the
direct result Of forward pass. The quar-
ter began with the ball in Bellevue's
possession in midfield. Stewart gained
five yards on a cross-buck. On the next
play Farnham hurled the ball twenty
five yards to Wenke, who ran twenty
more before being downed. Maxwell went
over for a touchdown on a cross-buck on
the next play. Farnham kicked goal.
Open Plays Used.
Both sides used open plays profusely
Midland tried an array of fancy shifts
is fact, Yordy seldom called a play from
regular formation. The Atchison bunch
pulled off only one successful open play.
however. Bellevue made four successive
forward passes for a total distance of
eighty yards. Midland's open play failed
chiefly as a result ow weakness in the
line. The Indian forwards broke up many
Of them behind the line before they got
started, or Midland pulled them off so
slowly that Erwin and wenke spilled
them from the ends.
YOrdy Pulls Long Run.
Midland's best ground gamers were long
end runs and delayed pass Yordy
pulled off one long end run of seventy
yards, which would have resulted in a
touchdown had not Stewart tackled him
from behind. Peters and Rowe gained
several times through holes In Bellevue's
line as a result of delayed passes.
The Indian forwards completely out
played their opponents. LAchtenwallner
and Kinnier opened up holes which the
Bellevue backs pierced again and again
Stewart. a second-string man. who earned
his place on the team by his playing yes
terday, gained from five to ten yards
again and again. Johns hit the line for
good gains through the same weak spot.
Bellevue in Danger Once.
Bellevue's goal was in danger only once
at the start Of the third quarter, after
Yordy had taken the ball around right
end for seventy yards Line bucks took
the ball to the three-yard line. but there
the redskins line stiffened and they took
the ball on downs. Wenkes punt out OF
danger fell short, however. and Midland
rushed the ball back to the twelve-yard
line. There Peters tried a place kick,
which was blocked.
Kinner and L4chtenwallner were towers
of defense for Bellevue. besides playing
great offensive games. Peters and
Yordy were the stars for Midland
