More than 10000 persons saw Michi-

green Cornell eleven. Except for a few
flashes OF successful open play. Cornell!
was almost as helpless on the offensive
as she was when the Wolverines had
the ball.
Quarterback Weston, the smallest
field general Michigan has ever had.
raced nearly eighty yards for Michi-
gan first touchdown, after he intercept
ed Cornell forward pass. Every
touchdown that Michigan made was di-

REPORT OF GOVERNMENT REPORTER
AT BRIDGEPORT PRODUCERS MARKET

The market opened rather late this
morning due perhaps to the rain
early in the morning. The number Of
farmers was the same.
Business was slower than usual
owing to smaller number of ped
dlers. AS a general thing the sup
ply was small A large load of
peaches came in this morning which
went very we'll They wene white
early variety and sold 81 for first and
SOC for second. A mixed lot went
for 75c straight Pumpkins came in
for the first time and in very small
quantity.
There seems a fair demand for corn
and tomatoes but not as big as usual.
It is getting near the close of the
season for these two excellent can
ming vegetables. It would be wise
to lay in a big supply now for can
ming.
AS the season advances the sup
ply will begin to rise. Even now to-

More peaches will come in tomor-
row and soon the big yellow ones will
commence.
Tomorrow's market will be small as
nearly everyone waits for a big Sat-
urday market.
The corn is the best buy this morn
ing, not SO much because of much
lower price but an Improvement in
quality.

COAL CONSERVATION

Washington, Aug. s0-Federal con-
troll of the country's coal industry was
again today the subject of discussion
by the directors Of the national coal
association with prospects that an
announcement as to whether Presi-
dent WILSON'S price scale will be ac-
|cepted without protest would be forth
coming before the day is over.
An appeal to coal users to endeavor
to reduce CONSUMPTION as a wartime
measure was issued today by the
chamber of commerce of the United
States. through It's committee which
Is cooperating with the council of
national defense.
Today coal Is a siI1ew Of war;
says the appeal, and he who unrec-
Eessarily reduces the country's avail
able stock Of coal may curtai1 the ma
tion's energy in the great Industrial
conflict In the great concentration OF

needs. Transportation facilities are

from the Military Emergency Board
First Lieut.. Stephen Dokus, adjutant

Second Lieut.. Edward c. spaM, of
Company L, Fourth Regiment, is ad-

placed on the reserve list. Compan-
les have already begun to send out
word that enlistments are needed to
complete the ranks which have been
depleted by the draft.
With many men being placed on the
reserve lists some companies are
found to be short as many as two
squads. High officers Of the Guard
today in explaining that partiality did
not enter into the matter of placing
names of well known Bridgeport men
upon the reserve list declared that this
system was one OF the only, ones avail
able under the laws to rid companies
OF the inefficients.
