Much Juice Is Wasted.
THE 10000 gallons of cherry juice
wasted each year in the canneries, the
experiments show, would, if collected
and treated, produce $4,000 gallons OF
desirable jelly or a large quantity OF
table sirup, or could be made to fer

made by concentrating the cherry

added and the mixture allowed to

investigators believe might produce

"The juice also could be made into

the acid in the filtered juice with milk

'THIEvER' FINALLY OUT
Three Assists Required to Retire
Man Stealing Base.
Throw From Catcher Hits Pitcher on
Head, Shortstop Catches 1t and
Nips Runner at Thrd-How
Scorer Figured II Out.

Claude Berry, former catcher for the
Pittsburgh Feds, tells this one:
"One day while l was catching for
the Dallas (Tex) team a runner on
first started to steal second. Ipegged
toward the base but our pitcher
Walker-had moved out of the box
after he delivered the ball, and walked
into the throw.
The ball hit Walker on top of the
head, and as Walker dropped to the
ground the ball bounded high in the
air. The runner had reached second
by that time, and not seing the ball
in play raced for third. But our
shortstop saw the ball, caught it as
1t came down and whipped it to third
in time to put out the runner.
"The official scorer credited three
men with an assist. He gave me an
assist because had made the original
throw, he gave one to the pitcher, be-
cause his head had DETECTED the ball
to the shortstop, and, of course, he
gave one to the shortstop for making
the throw to third"
Berry, by the way, is believed to be
the only catcher who jumped into a
grandstand after foul ball and caught
it. He performed the trick when he
was in San Francisco in 1908.
Berry's other claim to fame is that
during the season of 190S-1909 in Cali
fornia-covering straight stretch Of
IL months-he caught "a games, while
with the San Francisco team. That
means he worked nearly every day fol
q year.

Illicit Dispensers Of Liquor Busy
in Dry Territory Along Mexi-
can Border.
PEGLEG WALKING BARR0OM
Cook With Troopers at Columbus Ped
dies Refreshments From His Oaken
Limb Until Officers Discovered
Source of Supply.

Columbus, N. M.-Everywhere that
the broad trail of the army leads, the
trail of the ''bootlegger" parallels. Par
ticularly if the route of the troop
ers lies through dry territory, the IL
licit dispenser of the draft that
sometimes cheers is a hanger-on.
And he has a million and one ways
to evade the regulations.
The bootlegger arrived in Columbus
about ten seconds after Uncle Sam
soldier boys. He did a profitable
business, especially around pay day.
Some of the troopers, disgruntled be-
cause they were forced to remain here
inactive while their mates were rlay-
ing hide-and-seek with Villa in the
sand dunes, were intent on drowning
their sorrows. Others celebrated tfefr
good fortune when they were ordesed
to cross the line.
.Pegleg" is, or was, a cook for che
civilian employees of the quarternfas-
ter's department. The name com es
from his poItside limb, which is OF
sturdy oak. After the troops arrived,
Pegleg seemed always to be in tie
mood that can come only from looking
on the wine when it is red. And be
became surprisingly prosperous. His
condition drew the suspicion of thu
army authorities.
Lieut.. Austin M. Pardee of tho
Twentieth infantry, detailed as pro-
vost marshal, decided that Peglef
would bear watching.
After several hours of watchful
waiting he saw two troopers slide up
to Peglegs tent and in distinctly audi
BILE tones bid Pegleg to "set out the
Joy juice" Pegleg was complying
when Lieutenant Pardee arrested the
three.
81 won't go!" declared Pegleg, and
promptly lay down.
Get two men to carry him." sug-
gested a sergeant.
Get nothing" decided Lieutenant
Pardee. "You fellows take off his
pants and his leg, and let him lie
there. He won't escape on one les,
that is certain"
Pegleg protested vigorously, but it
availed him nothing. The pants came
off, likewise the leg, and with the lat
ter came the secret of Peglegs sue
cess at dispensing.
The leg was hollow, lined with tin,
and held at least a half gallon OF
liquor.
Pegleg, his stores confiscated and
poured into a dry but unappreciative
desert, was landed on an eastbound
freight.
Half an hour later Lieutenant Par
dee saw white-haired, venerable
looking old gentleman alight from an
eastern passenger train. He carried a
suitcase.
Two soldiers greeted the old man
affectionately.
Got anything good?" queried Lieu
tenant Pardee.
'S-s-s-h-h; it's six bits a bottle. |

risky business here" replied the aged
one.

ant as he took the suitcase and start

results are compiled in the Monthly
Review issued by the United States
bureau of labor statistics.
Recently one Of the trade scouts of
a big manufacturing concern read
six lines in the Daily Commerce Re
ports of the department of commerce
and scored orders from a Portu-
guese firm a%ggregating over 100000.
There are eight bureaus in the de-
partment of commerce. All are con-
cerned in some way with industry and
commerce. Largest and most directly
related to business of these eight bu-
reaus is the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce. It gathers trade
information from all over the world
and passes it out to American manu-
facturers and exporters. Most Of the
information is printed In the Daily
Commerce Reports.
The bureau Of mines gave to the
| country a process devised by one Of
it's chemists, DR.. ". F. Rittman, for
the manufacture from petroleum Of
benzol and toluol, used in the manu-
facture of dyes and high explosives.
This process has since been demon
strated on a commercial scale. Doctor
Rittman also devised a process which
will enable refiners to increase the
output of gasoline from crude petro-
leum 200 per cent or ven more, the
patent right to this process to be
dedicated to the public to prevent mo-
nopoly.
Grain dealers, bankers, and all bust
ness men who look to the prospect
for crops upon general conditions are
always deeply concerned in the in.
formation furnished regularly by the
weather bureau and the bureau Of crop
| estimates.
If you want to know what's on the
earth or under the earth or the shape
of the earth in the United States, just
ask the geological survey. There is
constant practical business need for
this information. If a new railway,
electric or steam, is projected, the en-
gineers before submitting estimates
of cost first send for the topographic
maps from the geological survey cover
ing the proposed route.
All Of which is but a part, and a
small part, of the story.

The Bible presents us with a view of

GREAT POSTAL GAINS SHOWN
Gross Receipts in 1915 About 7,572
Times as Large as in 1890, FIRST
Full Year of Operation.

From s37,935 in 1890 to S2S7,24S,loo
in 1915 is the increase in the annual
gross revenue of the post ofhce de-
partment since the first full year or
operation Of the department, says
Uncle Sam. In other words, the busl-
ness in 1915 was about s7,572 times as
large as it was in 1870.
In 1890 the gross expenditures or
the department were s32,140 and the
total compensation paid to postmast-
ers was SS,19S. In 1915, the gross ex-
pend;tures of the department were
s29S, SAG, O26 and the compensation
paid to postmasters amounted to s2s,'
143,127.
Other figures on the 1915 business
of the post Office department give an
idea Of the volume of Uncle Sans

clude the following: Number of post

Scarcely an industry in the whole
field Of business can be named to aid
which some government bureau is not
constantly at work. Usually each in
dustry is directly served in various
ways by more than half a dozen fed
eral institutions.
For the banker and all who deal
with banks-just about everybody
there's the new federal reserve sys-
tenn. For shippers and for railways
there's the interstate commerce COM

stand guard against unfair competi-
tion,' there's that leagling product of
the progressive movement-the trade
commission.
All Of which merely touches the high
places. If you are a small farmer
and lack a market for a portion Of
your output, the department OF agrl-
culture helps you find it. If you are
a manufacturer and you are seeking
new markets at home or abroad, the
department of commerce points you
the best opportunities. The mint serv-
ice Of the treasury assays the ores
found by thousands of prospectors
every year. Experts test the soil OF
thousands Of farms every year to de-
termine what crops are best adapted
to them. A telegraph and mail news

and dealers in ~perishable crops has
been started by the department of ag.
