LAKELAND DEFEATED
bART0W SATURDAY
BY s TO 8 SCORE
(By Smiley.)

The Highlanders evened up matters
with Barlow Saturday by defeating
them 6 to 8. Bugs Ery, the old re-
liable standby, was on the mound for
the locals, and, although he was un-
usully wild, held the Barlow boys at
bay. Lassiter, who was opposing him,
was sent to cover In the fourth inn
ing after the locals had piled up q
total of runs. Southpaw Henry
succeeded him and held the locals
safe for the remainder Of the game,
although he was hit freely, fast field
ing by his teammates cut off several
rallies. Leonard, our brainey little
second baseman, was injured when
Stephens, on an attempted steal, slid
into him, spiking him, causing dis
location of small bone In his right
foot Stephens robbed Wynn Of a two
or probably three-bagger when he
made a sensational back-running
catch to deep right center. Well,
the boys played fast and snappy
game and every fan surely enjoyed
Saturdays exhibition. And the way
they hit the old pill was also indeed
very encouraging. II they keep UP
the pace they set Saturday, we are
due to win about five or six straight.

DAKOTA TO THE SEA

The newest solution Of the market
ing problem in South Dakota and
neighbOring states is the proposed
opening Of the st. Lawrence route
from Lake Superior to the Atlantic.
The railroads have proven entirely
inadequate to remove congestion in
the large terminals in the grain sea
son and their rates grow higher each
year along with less satisfactory ser.
vice. Freight cars, it is predicted,
will be scarcer this fall than ever be-
fore. Men interested in the dc elop,
ment Of the Northwest must look to
the waterways to solve the transporta.
ton problem Water transportation
has always been the cheapest, surest
and most adequate. BY opening up
the st. Lawrence river for deep water
navigation, South Dakota will be q
thousand miles closer to the sea- It
will provide a new national outlet
Deep water navigation is now devel
oped from Duluth on Lake Superior
to the Galop rapids in the st. Law
renee river, which obstacle must be
removed. The matter is now before
the international joint commission
which has been requested by the
! United States and Canada to prepare
for joint action. The expense of the
project could be paid entirely by the
water power that the stream develops
at that point.

SAVE WASTE PAPER

In referring to his recent appeal for
Of Commerce J. w. Alexander urged
the saving of all waste paper.
Following my appeal of last week
to save waste and turn it back into
the channels of trade" said the secre-
tary, Il wish to call attention to he
importance of saving all waste paper
Attention has been called quite num-
Der Of times to the vital shortage IN
paper and if the general public could
realize how shortage Of paper affects
its daily life. l feel sure that a saving
and utilization of all waste paper
would be made.
"Many Of the better Grades of waste
paper are used as pure substitutes for
ground woodpulp and are used in max
ing all kinds of book. bond, leGger and
writing papers. If this kind of waste
was not used to some extent, there
would exist an even greater shortage
Of woodpuIp from which most Of our
printing papers and newsprint paper
is made. The waste paper used in the
above list consists of old magazines.
periodicals. books of all kinds and
printed matter in general Every
pound of this waste that is saved and
marketed prevents the use of original
woOdpulp made direct from our trees
The largest tonnage of waste pa
per is called common mixed and CON
sists of any and every sort of and
scrap Of paper, such as newspapers,
waste from offices, stores, public build
ings and the homes. The chief use of
this kind of waste is for paper boxes,
shipping containers (Which carry up
to 100 pounds of freight or express)
and wrapping paper. More than g.
100000 tons of ordinary waste paper
are used for boxes and shipping con
tainers alone. The public is so accus-
| toned to having it's goods in paper
boxes that it would be dumbfounded
! to find their use seriously curtailed,
and this is what will happen if we Go
/ not look more toward the utilization
Of waste. The use Of waste papers
! for this purpose prevents the cOnsump-
ton Of more than 1,000,O00,000 feet of
lumber annually, and is increasing
daily. The utilization of waste must
keep pace with this to prevent direct
use of our trees for the woodpulp
AT the present time there is very little
original woodpulp used for paper board
boxes
"In addition to the saving of trees in
the making of paper board, there Is
another very great saving of lumber
| through the use of paper shipping
