BREAKS AGAINST THEM
And Alpha Crystal Falls Lost 10 Inn
Ing Contest 10 Escanaba Sunday

II was a tough game to lose, the one
that the Alpha-Crystal Falls aggrega-
tion lost 10 Escanaba last Sunday
The sporting scribe of the Menominee
Herald-Leader says the Escanaba um-
pire deliberately stole the game for
his home team. We are not as unchar-
liable as our Menominee contempor-
airy, claiming simply that the breaks
OF the game were against us. Buck
Nolden OF olden day fame umpired for
Escanaba and there is considerable
dispute as 10 the correctness OF his
views. A reversed decision on sec
ond base play practically lost the
game TO Crystal Falls, but Crystal
Falls is charitable enough 10 say that
Perhaps Buck saw 1t that way" and
let II go at that.
II was a pitchers battle between
Evans of Crystal Falls and Cameron
OF Escanaba, with Evans showing
trifie the superior Of his rival in the
pinches. Cameron's weak points was
in his noodle when II came 10 change
of attack on the part Of his opponents
as was shown in the ninth when AL
pha-Crystal Falls suddeny shifted 10
a bunting game and on a hit-and-run
play scored easily from third while
Cameron was gathering himself to-
gether for the play. An alert fielding
pitcher could have stopped the run.
Otherwise the Escanaba star was a
Moose in his work against the locals
His strike-outs were not as great as
Evans but he held down the hits 10
FIVE against six allowed by Evans.
All hits were scattered until in the
tenth inning when Escanaba scored
the winning run on two successive
bingles. The Escanaba players back
ed their pitcher well. They didn't dis
play quite as heady work in the pin
ches as did Crystal Falls but they had
all OF the breaks with them and so
were not put to the test as our boys
were.
Evans had Escanaba boys eating |
out OF his hand all the way along and
laid 13 OF his opponents low in strike
outs. The game should have been his
and would have been but for a single |
getting by the left field in the long |
grass. On any well kept ground the |
ball would have been fielded and the |
runner held to first instead OF getting |
10 third from which he afterwards
on an out.
Williams throwing was excellent |
and not a man succeeded in stealing |
On him. A couple tried II and were
caught three feet of the base Alpha
Crystal Falls played errorless ball.
Several errors were chalked against
Escanaba but none of them figured in
he final result.
Escanaba scored in the fourth in
hing when after a single by Moody
he fiuke three base hit came along
ind allowed the runner 10 score.
Crystal Falls eyened the counts in
he ninth when by real ball playing
was pushed around TO Bird
md on home by Williams change to
bunt that momentarily upset Gamer
IN.
The winning run came in the tenth
when holden, who was umpiring, first
waved Lantz of in his attempt to
stretch a single into double and was
agged out. Lanz rushed at Damar-
lsky who touched him again and Mol
len reversed his decision and gave
.anz his base. Murray then singled
md Lantz scored the winning run.

The mysterious stranger among the

SHIPMENTS MORE BRISK FROM
LOCAL PROPERTIES
CAVE At The BRISTOL Mine
Two Drills Placed at Work on the
Fortune Lake Mining Property
This Week

There seems TO be a better dispatch
In the ore movement than there has
been for some time. Trains are moy-
Ing regularly, shovels are working
more OF the time and in general there
Is an air Of better satisfaction than
there has been during the fore nart
OF the summer.
Shipments will be far behind the
schedule laid out in the early spring
for Crystal Falls mines. Most OF this
shortage is due to changes at receiv-
ing points due to the inability OF the
furnaces TO get coal and OF the rail-
roads at receiving ports to handle the
ore as rapidly as II arrived.
While there was lot heard about
no cars at the mines 1t wasn't because
the railroads were unable to supply
cars but because boats were not avail
able to take the ore away from the
docks as rapidly as it was being re-
ceived

All Pockets Kept Going
The lack OF boats was felt mostly
by the steam shoyels. When the boats
failed 10 appear to take care OF the ore
the railroads denied cars to shovels
but so far have not at any time denied
cars for pocket shipments.
Thus every operating mine was
kept at work to its capacity all sum-
mer and the loss in tonnage will be
from expected stockpile shipments II
any appears at the close OF the sea-
son.
Local mines report fair supply OF
labor. Wages are the best they have
ever been and men are satisfied so
that there has not been the moving a.
bout apparent here that has been
seen elsewhere. A great many young
men have been attracted to the mines
this year by the high wages that are
being paid and this source OF supply
has made up for any loss elsewhere.
Moving nj the Odgers
At the Odgers mine the work OF
moving the surface equipment to
serve the new shaft is in progress aft
er long delay owing to lack of sup
plies. We are told that the work will
be pushed from now on to its COM
pletion.
The plant 10 be moved consists OF
the engine house which contains the
large electric hoist and compressor,
the changing house, ware house and
small boiler house While the odgers
is electrically equipped throughout.
II is necessary to retain small steam
plant for heating and auxiliary pur-
poses.
Ground was broken last week for |,
the new engine house. II will be To-
Gated directly west OF the new shaft |
across the St Paul Siding. II was
necessary TO clear this tract OF stumps
before starting the work OF excavation
and most OF this week has been de-
voted to clearing operations.
When the plant is moved the old
shaft will be abandoned for working
purposes and the surface caved when
the time comes for II to be let down
In safety.
Cave stopped ~. Paul
Another cave OF the surface on the
hnl side 10 the south OF the Bristol
pit caused a tying up OF the ST Paul
branch to the odgers and other mines
10 the west OF the city. The 81. Paul
has been using the North-Western
track this week and will without doubt /
continue to use them the balance OF
the summer.
The cave caused no interruption OF
work at the Bristol as It had been
expected for a long time and every
thing was prepared for II. The Bris-
tol has been shipping regularly from
the pocket all summer and intermit-
tentiy from the stockpile, shipment
from the latter depending upon the
boat supply. II a months shoveling
can be done at this property there
will be room for continuous work

Outlet Offered for Animals Of
Highest Quality.
Indications Are That Good individuals

velop Trade.

That Argentina at this time presents
particularly good field for marketing
cattle and sheep is emphasized In a re.
cent report by representatives of the
bureau of markets, United States de-
partment of agriculture, who have
made a personal investigation of the
livestock market In several South
American countries. The fact that the
market Is open to the very highest
class of trade offers an opportunity to
dispose Of surplus first-grade breeding
stock. In the swine industry some
work In the matter of developing a
demand will be necessary, but the ex.
perience of the Argentine stock raiser,
In importing hlgh-grade sheep and
cattle. would indicate that good indl.
vidual animals of various breeds Of
swine will be sought.
Decidedly keen competition between
England and any other country export
ing cattle to Argentina Is to be ex.
pected. the investigators state. The
necessity Of sending the best animals
TO the Argentine trade cannot be too
strongly emphasized, for competition
which extends even farther than the
importation Of the Individual animals
can be successful only on this basis.
Any animal sent TO Argentina should
be selected with view to Its influence
on future trade as well as Its immedl'
ate effect. Naturally quality will de-
termlne the ultimate status of any
purebred export business II the best
purebred animals from the United
States are sent to Argentina, the OBJ
stacles may be overcome and trade
developed. The market in Argentina
is large enough for all. and offers a fa-
vorable outlet for surplus animals Of
good quality In the United States.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
OF the 1857 100000 dozen of eggs
produced annually In the United
States, II is estimated that nearly 8
per cent of those marketed are a
total loss.
This Is due largely TO improper
handling between the farm and the
market. Many farmers look upon eggs
as a by-product, and the returns as
so much clear gain. The hens forage
for living; eggs are gathered when
ever convenient and kept almost any
where. With such carelessness and
combination Of mongrel stock, dirty
nests, stolen nests of broody hens, un-
confined males, late-maturing pullets
and other undesirable conditions, Is
It any wonder that the product in
cludes high percentage of small,
cracked. dirty. stale, heated and even
rotten eggs?
Occasionally the accumulation of all
country merchants and exchanged for
merchandise. The merchant usually
buys these eggs, lease count" paying
the same price for all kinds and sizes,
provided the shells are unbroken.
Small production results in small or
infrequent shipments.
Care Given Market Eggs.
If possible, only nonfertile eggs
should he nroduced for market. fer
tile eggs deteriorate rapidly and are
the cause Of much loss. A broody
hen on the nest, or exposure to n
temperature from other sources sufii-
cient TO start incubation, causes all
such eggs to be rejected when they
are candled.
Eggs should be cared for carefully.
Provide plenty Of nests and keep them
filled with clean nesting material (;

the expense of adequate Improvement.
Unprecedented Road Program.
This is lesson cities as well as
rural districts are learning. In the bu-
reau of public roads, United States de-
partment of agriculture, which admin
listers the federal aid road act, Is CEN
tered supervision of all highway con-
struction which federal funds help car

ect statements had been approved call
Ing for federal aid TO the amount of
Sl10.S40.773--a sum which indicates
how fully the nation Is convinced that
better roads mean better business. The
total federal funds available to aid
the states In their rond-bui,dlng pro-
grams up to July |, 1920. will be $780,
750,000-and this total Is exceeded by
the combined expenditures of state,
county, and municipalities.
Better Roads, Better Business.
The business considerations back OF
these vast investments are not far to
seek. Better roads mean cheaper and
quicker hauling. IL has been estimat-

The lowering of distribution costs,

important problems In reducing living
