UMPIRE SAVES
RAGGED GAME

So far as baseball Is concerned the
game last night in the city league be
tween the Traction team playing
their last game in the ieagne) and
the Bando was rather distinct dis
appointment. The game was rather
listless and devoid OF features and
both teams played ragged ball in the
field, the Traction team making five
errors and the Bandu six. Heavy hit
! ting by the fractions, however, en-
abled them to romp away with the
contest sc. The Bando made but a
single hit, q two base smash by Ia
wilson, and made their Two runs on
miscues.
The fans, however, received a run
| for their money, when Umpire Simon
added much humor to the occasion BY
his unique manner Of handling the
game. Phil Grimes was sick and
Simon offered his services as umpire.
| Il was well that he did, as he furnish.
ed the only feature Of the game that
Seemed Of interest 70 the lans and
players. Simon Is not bad umpire,
| but his hesitancy in making decisions
proved very funny to the assembled
fans.
He Is also the most accommodating
umpire in the business, reversing de
cisions once in awhile to keep things
along in q happy manner. Once 4
Traction man hit long one 10 left
which was foul several feet. He
called the ball fair, the batter got
three base hit and runner scored.
The Rando decided to quit the game
at this stage, whereupon the umpire
decided he must have missed fire, re-
! yersed himself, calling the ball foul
and ordering the base runner back. He
called a Traction man out for cutting
third base at the request OF the Bando
and the stands, although 1t seemed he
had his back to the runner when the
| runner passed third base. Later In
| the game Traction claimed a Bando
man cut first, but the umpire was on
the job this time and refused the
claim.
Umpire Simon persisted in wearing
his mask while standing behind the
pitcher with a man on base until the
| tens notified him this was not &C.
| cording to Hoyle, whereupon he took
It of and carried 1t on his arm. In
the main the umpire's decisions wete
T, good and his work on balls and strikes
was above the average. II he would
only decide more quickly, he would
get along in fine fashion.
One hit brought two runs for the
| fractions in the first. Three hits In
the fourth brought two runs, and the
same combination was repeated in the
sixth. Bunched errors in the sixth
| gave the Bando two runs. The score:

In one state plans and specifications

SO storage houses constructed from
plans furnished by the United States
Bureau of Markets. A sweet potato
exhibit car was arranged and moved

ducing sections. The exhibit included

working plans and specification for
storage houses. pictures, charts, and
slides showing approved methods of
production, harvesting, storing. grad
ing, and packing.
Demonstrates Approved Methods.
Exhibits illustrating approved mar
keting practices were conducted in six
states. In most instances these ex-
hibits were in connection with state
or district fairs or at expositons of
more than state importance. Colo
radios potato shipments run from
5000 to 1880 cars a year or this
quantity, 40 per cent is moved during
the winter months when there is great
danger of frost damage in transit. To
stimulate interest among Colorado
potato growers and shippers in better
marketing conditions, an exhibit of a
full-sized freight car was produced in
the Denver Auditorium at the west
ern potato show this year to show by
actual demonstration proper meth
DDS Of lining and loading cars of pota-
toes to prevent loss from freezing in
transit, and of sewing sacks to pre-
vent loss of potatoes slipping through
the tops of sacks. Some 5000 peo-
pie attended the exhibit, and it is
confidently believed that a greater
number OF cars will be loaded prep
erly.
Twenty-Five short instruction
courses relative to various phases Of
marketing were given in six states.
In one state course of lectures COW
er:ng II weeks was given in a school
of commerce. Cooperative enter
prises in three states were given as
sistance in accounting problems. The
COLLECTION and dissemination Of infor-
nation relative to quantity, quality.
and price Of local produce offered for
sale was arranged for at II points in
four states.
The Bureau of Markets report of
the work of its field agents in mar
keting shows that the accomplish
ments were greater in number and
of more value to producers and con.

MILK is FAVORED LUNCH IN
MANY UP.TO-DATE FACTORIES

In modern factories an increasingly
common sight is q push cart loaded
with half-pint milk bottles being
wheeled down the aisles about the
middle of the forenoon. The dairy
division of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture has been doing
much educational work on the value
OF milk as a food in the factories with
in the past Is months, and the
amount of milk now being drunk by
factory employees is good testimony
to the fact that the beverage is all
that is claimed for 1t.
The conditions found in one Spring
field. Mass. factory which has 700
employees. are typical of many other
places. The milk specialist in that
county spoke to the factory force,
which consists Of both men and WON.
en-. during the latter part of July.
The manager stated that he had been
considering the proposition and was
willing to. have milk distributed
throughout the factory during work
ing hours. The next day the plan was
put into operation. The milk cost the
company 4 cents half-pint bottle,
and to cover the cost Of distribution
was sold for s cents. For the first
day 100 bottles were ordered. This
proved insufficient and 500 were or
dered for the second day. This still
proved too small quantity. and 500
were ordered. After a week or two,
700 bottles day were being con-
sumed. In August the price Of the
milk was raised to cents q bottle.
and 6 cents was charged the emloyes
for 1t. There was falling of in the
demand; so the manager, convinced
of the value of the lunch to the men
and women, put the price back to s
cents. and the factory paid for the
cost of distribution.
The efficiency of the force is much
increased by the milk lunch, the man.

to the factory having had no break

machines than when the men left

MILLIONS SAVED BY
BETTER MARKETING
Federal Bureau Of Markets Worked
in Cooperation With State Market

State cooperative work in market.
ing and distributing farm products is
the object of this marketing work.
Investigations Of grading, packing

made and visual demonstrations given
producers to familiarize them with
the best marketing methods. Thus,
some 200 demonstrations of approved
practices of preparing farm products
for market and over 700 talks relative
to packing. grading. handling, stor-
ing, and selling farm products and
the formation Of associations for CO.
operative activity were given. In one
state alone two cooperative live stock
shipping associations with a member
ship of 5000 shippers were formed,
and an estimated saving Of $73,548
secured through the cooperative ship
ping of 333 cars of cattle, hogs. and
