EXPLORATION WORK
TO BEGIN next YEAR

Mr.. John G. Howard who visited
in the Village this morning is au-
thority for the statement that as
soon as the Gunflint road, which is
now being surveyed by County Sur
veyor Berglund and a crew of men,
is completed, alarge amount of drill
ling and prospecting will be done in
the northern part of the county, by
himself and associates. A number
of diamond drills will be brought
in and a large number of men en-
gagged. The town of Maple Hill has
undertaken the work of improving
this road, which, when open, will
prove the key to the opening of the
iron ore deposits which have so long
awaited marketing, and which will dc
more toward proving or disprovine
the statement of geologists that
Cook County is destined to be one
Of the richest counties in the
State.

The LUCKY NUMBER!

Seven states will vote upon pro-
hibition November 7th. They are
California, Montana, Michigan, Ne
braska, South Dakota, Idaho, Miss
ouri. The last named recently Sc
cured dry amendment on the state
ticket through the initiative. The
territory of Alaska will also vote wet
or dry. In Maryland, the city of Bal
timore, and other wet city and
county units will vote separately up
on the question.
1t is rather perplexing to some
of our readers to find Idaho listed
as one of the nineteen states aleady
dry and also as one of the seven
states to vote in November. This
is the explanation: Idaho is now un-
der statutory prohibition. At the
coming general election she will vote
on a constitutional prohibition a
mendment.

IN PRINT PAPER
FELT By ALL NEWSPAPERS

On account Of the scarcity and
high price of print paper, all the pa
pers in the country are using an in
ferior grade and also cutting down
the size of the papers.
The St. Paul Dispatch and Pioneer
Press Printing Companies have pur-
chased the paper and pulp mill To-
Gated at Grand Rapids and have
thus insured themselves a supply of
print paper of which they use about
1900 tons annually. The price of
white paper has advanced from $38.
per ton to $4,000, and mills are now
refusing to make contracts as thew
have in the past, making the supply
uncertain. Newspapers all over the
country have been attempting to
meet this increase by the condensine
of news and reducing the size of
the paper. Some papers have beer
forced to discontinue and unless
conditions change the shortage will
be felt even more keenly. -

FIRE DESTROYS CAMP
At CASCADE BRIDGE

. The cook camp at Cascade bridge
was discovered to be on fire about
1880 on Monday morning. The crew
was working on the bridge when the
blaze was noticed on the roof of the
building which was frame struc-

and the little girl were in the house
at the time but were unaware of
the fire until the alarm was given
by the men working on the bridge.
Tents have now been erected and
will be used until the completion of
the bridge which will be about four
weeks.

COED GOWNS ARE CENSORED
Some GirIr, Sent Home From Dances
-Frocks Are Too Low at Top or
Too High at Bottom.

Bloomington, Ind.-The Indiana uni

censorship Of clothes worn by the Co
eds" I4e8:& Il 1c3 1uM
The censorship is in charge of Miss
Ruby c. E. Mason, dean of women,
who is attending all dances and in
speeding the frocks and gowns. If
the evening gowns of the girls do net
conform to regulations as to length
and style, the wearers are sent back
to their rooms for change Of attire.
Th4s has happened to several young
women recently. The censorship is
established because of the loyalty of
the Indiana "co-eds" to the prevailing
styles, especially in dancing froeks.
The frocks have been cut so low from
the chin and so high from the ground
that they have been shocking to some,
the university authorities say, all
during the winter.

(By ED G. BARROW, President Of the
International Baseball League)
The International league is coming
back" this season. Its prospects have
not been so bright for long, long time.
The war is over, confidence is re-
stored and the baseball conditions are
normal again. OF course, the war
caused us some suffering but 1t won't
be long before our organization will
be back on the same high plane as
before the advent Of the outlaws"
The 1915 makeup of the league will
be the same as in the old days-a
compact circle made up of the best
cities in the East. And so we all are
more than hopeful that brighter days
have come.
The return to Newark and Balti-
more is gratifying. I am confident
that before the season is over the
fans in both cities will be completely
satisfied with the brand of baseball
they will get.
James Price and Fred Tenney, the
new owners of the Newark club, have
made themselves popular by announc-
ing that they will have no major
league connections. Another popular
move was the. decision to play the
games N Newark instead of in Har-
rison. Jack Dunn always gave Bal
timore baseball of major league
caliber, and with no opposition there
this season he is bound to win the
fans back to the support of his ORR
oles.
Richmond no doubt will make a
much better showing in the way of
attendance this season. BILLY"
Smith is shrewd and capable mana
ger, and his hustling qualities will
make him popular with the fans.

Hank stuck with the Giants less tnan
a year, and in July, 1911, McGraW

initial bag didn't make much OF an
impression on Stallings, and he
shipped him off to Buffalo, where he
was put behind the bat, and soon be-
came the star backstop of the interna-
tional circuit. Hank was recalled TO
the Boston club at the close of the in
ternational season.

Cherry Pits, Now Source of An
noyance, Can Be Made to
Yield Valuable Oils.
NEW INDUSTRY IS POSSIBLE
Specialists in U. s. Department of Az
ricuIture Declare Also That 1885,.
600 Gallons of Juice Now
Thrown Away May Be
Converted Into Jelly
and Sirup.

Washington, D. C.-Sixteen hundred
tons Of cherry pits. now a source OF
annoyance and expense to canneries,
can be made to yield two valuable oils
and also a meal for feeding cattle, &C.
cording to specialists of the United
States department of agriculture. In
addition, 100000 gallons of cherry
Juice now wasted In seeding cherries
can be turned into desirable jelly and
strip, or even into alcohol. A saving
of these valuable by-products from
cherry canning may make possible the
domestic manufacture of substitutes
for almond oil and bitter-almond oil,
now imported, and at the same time
Establish q new industry in the cherry
backing districts of the North Allan
tic, North Central and Western states
The specialists, however, have not
yet carried their work to a point
where they can say that the convert
ing of this Juice and the cherry pits
would be a profitable side industry for
the ordinary or smaller cannery. In
Cases where a number of Gamers are
operating within q reasonable distance
bf one another, the specialists, how
ever, believe that the waste products
could be sent to central cooperative
OF other plant at small cost and there
utilized to advantage. Studies, how
ever, are being carried on to deter
mine whether means cannot be de-
yised for making these waste products
profitable also when handled on a
small scale.
Some time ago there was similar in
vestigation of the use of peach and
apricot pits for making oils and
meal, and a commercial enterprise
has been established in California for
dealing with these products. The de-
partment has published bulletin on
this subject and also one dealing with
the utilization of raisin seed from
the seeded raisin industry. 1t was
found that many tons Of raisin seed
had considerable fruit adhering to
them which could readily be turned
into a very desirable raisin strip for
the use of confectioners and others.
After this pulp had been used it was
found that an oil useful in the arts
could profitably be pressed from the
seed, and experiments are under way
to determine whether the crushed
seed could not be used to advantage
in feeding stock.
The following description of these
products, and methods which have
been developed for making them, are
taken from professional paper $50,
"The Utilization of Cherry By-Prod-
ucts," by Frank Rabak, chemical
biologist, bureau of plant industry.
Fixed Oil From Cherry Pits.
1.-THE kernel of the pit, as long has
been known, contains a considerable
quantity of oil. Investigations re-
Gently conducted show that the oily
constituents of the kernel can be con-
verified into a fixed oil much like al
mond oil, and volatile oil practically
Identical with oil of bitter almonds.

The large number of Canadians that
have gone to the war front has made
baseball conditions in Toronto and
Montreal a little uncertain. How
ever, the people of Canada are great
lovers of outdoor sports, and they no
doubt will patronize the ball games
literally. Baseball is about the only
form of outdoor amusement left in
Canada that has not been seriously af-
fected by the European war. Joe Bir-
mingham at Toronto and Dan How
ley at Montreal, are both clever and
experienced managers, and are backed
by real sportsmen, who have shown
their liberality and gameness. on many
occasions in the past.
All things considered, the outlook
for the international league is very en-
couraging.

MONEY TIED UP IN BASEBALL
Interesting Comparison Is Made by
Secretary Langtry of American
Bowling Congress.

It is said that $S4,OOO,OOO is tied UP
in baseball in this country, Secretary
Langtry of the American Bowling con-
gress offers an interesting comparison
between the money invested in the
national sport and in bowling.
He says there are more than 100000
bowling alleys in the United States,
and each one represents an average
cost of $500, barring pins, balls and
rent. in the event the manager does
not own his own building.
This would make total of 100000.
600 in alleys alone, with $1,O0O,OOO for
pins, considering that each alley had
only one set of pins. Most of them
have five or more and the nominal
cost of a set is So.

The residue after these oils are ex-
tracted shows on analysis ingredients
that may make it practical cattle
feed similar to linseed cake.
"The fixed oil is the most important
by-product of cherry pits. It has a
golden yellow color and pleasant
nutlike taste and odor. In character
it is so closely related to imported al
mond oil that it is believed to pos
sess similar possibilities in the COM
mercial manufacture of drugs, oils
and soap.
IF the pits of all domestic cherries,
now thrown away at canneries, and
the pits extracted from imported cher
ries, were processed in this way it is
estimated that they would yield $780,
900 pounds of fixed oil, worth in the
neighborhood of twenty cents
pound. The best quality Of this fixed
oil is extracted from the kernels in
hydraulic presses. The shells of the
pits are first cracked in a mill and the
uncrushed kernels separated out with
sleeves. The oil is then pressed out
from the meats. In laboratory ex-
pertinent the kernels yielded FL per
cent of fixed oil under pressure OF
1850 pounds to the square inch. On
a commercial scale, however, with
presses equipped for heating the ker-
nels under pressure, it is believed that
80 per cent or more can be obtained.
The oil also can be obtained by grind
ing the pits and extracting by means
of solvents.
Volatile Oil Second Product.
1.-THE volatile oil, the second product,
remains in the pressed cake after the
fixed oil has been extracted by pres
sure or by solvents. The volatile oil
is then secured by chemical means
and distillation. In the experiments
the oil was obtained at the rate of
nearly one pound for every 100 pounds
of residue treated. It is estimated
that 5000 pounds of this volatile oil
could be obtained If all the cherry
pits handled 1t canneries could be
used. The value of this by-product.
