Mulligan Weak at Bat.

Shreveport, La, April 5.-The Cubs
yesterday defeated the Shreveport
Texas leaguers, ? TO 0, and made
baseball game out of the job, 1t was
by far the best exhibition on the trip,
and, taking into consideration the fact
that the local team had trounced the
Cincinnati Reds six out Of eight
games, it was an artistic occasion.
Mulligan. who took Doonans place
at short, could not connect safely dur
ing the afternoon, and the dividends
extracted by Tinker were confined to
two walks, the only ones handed out
by Sloan.

tention. Lister is planning to have
two pickup teams go six or seven inn

Moline.
Work Hard Yesterday.
Yesterday Is men were put through
Of l. 40
players were given a thorough drill
ing both at bat and in the field. Fol-
lowing the workout, which ended late
in the afternoon, the tired men beat
it for the clubhouse to get steamed
out. The time has been too short to
get any line on the rookiSj signed by
Lister. but some conclusion can prob
ably be drawn after the workout today
Twenty of the players signed by
the Davenport club were on hand al
the Pretzel ball yard today. Several OF
the Blue SoX vets will not report I'M
til later OLeary is wasting no time
in combing out his squad and yester-
day the boys were treated to the stiff
est kind of a grilling. Manager Hughes
of Moline, who has probably more
rockies on hand than any club in the
tri-cities, is also putting in a full day
every day at the Plow City yard.
Hannibal Qualities!
The Hannibal situation remains a
bit cloudy this morning, but it is al
most certain that the Missouri town
qualified yesterday, as planned. The
Quincy Herald had the following to
say Of the situation in the issue of last
evening:
AT meeting held last evening at
the Commercial club rooms at Han
nibal, the sale Of 5000 season tickets
was practically assured However,
the purchase Of some of the tickets
were only pledged and for this rea-
son the time was extended until noon
today to give the committe time to
collect the money. Hannibal wants
$4,000 in the bank before it takes fur
Their steps and it was announced at
the meeting that If the money was
forthcoming. the $1,000 guarantee
would be telegraphed to President
Tearney in time to meet the provis-
ions OF the agreement with the
land the job"

Let's go out to the ice fields OF Carter lake
Far out in the middle of the lake men are driving
horses and, coming nearer. find the horses
drawing ice plows which simply steel cutters

charge by men with long, steel-polnted poles and
they push them along slowly through the water
until they arrive at the end OF a long open space
about twelve feet wide leading up to the ice house
entrance. Here the ice floes are further subdi-
vded before being steered into this'long lane. Men
with ice poles stationed along the sides OF this
lane and keep pushing the chunks along.
When they arrive at the inner end of the lane
other men with crowbar-like instruments separate
them into the final sizes, which cakes OF ice
about 5x2h feet, and OF whatever thickness the
ice happens to be.
The cakes are now at the foot OF a chute on
which an endless chain with blocks about
every ten feet. AS these blocks come along under
meath the chute and around a wheel under the
cakes Of ice ara hustle them up the chute Arriv-
ing at the top. they nre released and go sliding
down into the dark interior. where more men are
busy packing them away

II is said that the ice harvest employs between

MATERIALS THAT LAST.
Tile, Brick and Concrete Work Well In
Combination.


Taking tile, brick and concrete all to-
gether, we have three excellent build
ing materials, and they work well In
combination with each other. Concrete
is n general favorite for foundations.
piers, walks, platforms and things
built near the ground. 1t sets solid and
makes an excellent base for most any
thing, says ID. s. Burch in Farm and
Fireside
Tile and brick are used largely for
walls and work higher up. All three
materials can be REINFORCED by rods or
wires laid in the joints. And, by the
way, barbed wire and woven wire are
both good as reinforcing material. In
tile special grooves are made TO receive
reinforcement. Thus, in making a tile
silo you have your hoops just the same
as for wood silo, but they are right
in the wall, firmly embedded so they
can't slip up or down and protected
forever from rust The reason you can
conceal the hoops is because tile neither
shrinks nor swells, and there would
never be any occasion to touch the
hoops.
would hesitate to say that any
building is fireproof, but certainly
neither concrete. brick nor tile can
burn or be greatly harmed, even
though all the contents of a building
burned up. Brick, for instance. is made
by heating clay to 5000 degrees F. and
can't burn any more. Tile and cement
are also the direct products of furnace
heat hot enough to melt the ordinary
metals.
Wood is an excellent building mate
rial because it Is so easy to handle.
You can saw, chisel and shape 1t any
way you want and then fasten 1t to-
gether with nails, screws or bolts.
Every town has Mt least one lumber
yard, and wood is easy to get. Cement,
brick and tile are harder to procure in
some localities and little more diff
, cult to work with. but when you are all
through and you clean of your trowel
you feel just a little better satisfied.
because what you have built is perma-
nent, fireproof and will need neither
painting nor repairs for years to come.
You can safely cut down your insur-
ance policies, because there Is less to
burn up, but the chances are you'll
| never have fire.
