IONA LOST TO
LOCAL GR|ODERS
IN CLOSE GAME
COUNTY SEATERS CALCULATED
ON AN EASY VICTORY, BUT
RECKONED WITHOUT HOST

In hard fought battle the local
football eleven defeated the team
from the county seat by one touch
down. The game was close and well
PLAYED thruout, altho there was a
good deal of fumbling at times.
Belding kicked off and soon had
possession of the ball. Marching
down the field by line plunges, the
locals soon reached their opponents
twenty-yard line, where Lambertson
went through for a touchdown on a
single line smash. 1t looked like an
easy victory for Be!ding, and the To-
calls soon after started another march
towari the Ionia goal McKiddie
broke thru and carried the ball to
Ionia's ten yard line, fighting off
three opponents on the way. This
was easily the sensation of the game
as Lambertson had gone through so
easily and cleanly that it looked easy.
In the second half the visitors held
their own and toward the end of the
game outplayed and outguessed the
local warriors, but they lacked the
necessary punch for touchdown
Coach Stevens is pleased with the
steady improvement of the line but
is rather worried about the manner
in which the local backs failed to de-
fend their goal against the aerial at
tact and the bad handling of punts.
Opening holes on offence. block
ing for the backs, and a few new
plays will occupy most Of the prac-
tice time this week. While the To-
Gals appreciate the strength of the
Lowell aggregation, it may be ne
cessary to risk defeat there in order
to perfect the offence and defence for
the county games. Considerable at
tention will be devoted to perfecting
the forward pass defence. and speed
ink up the offensive attack. Despite
the steady improvement of the line.
it is still green and unsophisticated
in the art of football, but its aggres-
siveness. weight and speed make up
for much Of the lack of knowledge.
The week following the Lowell
game, Portland will come here to
meet the locals for the second time
this season. The Portland aggrega-
tion played the local boys to score
less tie on the Portland field. The
return game will have much bearing
on the county championship.

Big Crowd In Town

Reports from the many merchants
with whom we talked say that Sat-
urday was one of the best days for
business which the year usually
brings around. The crowd was
one of the largest ever assembled at
the giving away of the famous Jac-
auet flyer, which was given to Leo
Bowler, farmer living west of
Smyrna. The free lunch which was
provided for the farmers and others
coming from a distance was visited
by nearly 100 people and a vast
amount Of eatables were used in feed
ing the people. The people were
quite free in taking advantage of the
bargains offered by the merchants
and everyone was very well satisfied
with the results Of the day.

Gently completed checking over and
inspection tour of the four rural
routes leading out of this city and
he will have to, in a short time, re-
port the conditions to the post office
department at Washington, both as
he found them and also as he will
find them or as the carrier will re-
port them to be at some time in the
not far distant future.
The recent tour Of inspection which
the postmaster made resulted in dis
closing that not one half of the box
es on rural routes have names of
owners on them. This Of course
makes il practically impossible for
a substitute, especially new man
over the route, to properly and cor
rectly deliver mail and in several
cases recently this has been the case
and the mail was brought back to
the postoffice and held until the reg
uar carrier got back on the job or
until the people called at the office
for it.
The local postmaster has issued the
following notice to the patrons of
our rural routes and this timely
warning should be sufficient to have
the discrepancies remedied so that no
interruption in the delivery service
will be Necessary.

Careless handling of potatoes dur

laas, chief inspector for the Minnesota
state seed potato certificatiOn board,
Is often responsible for serious loss
from rots. Every bruise or infection
on potato makes it easy for various
storage rots to develop. These dis
eases have their origin in the soil or
in unclean bins. 1t is important,
therefore, that great care be taken
while digging and also while handling
the potatoes after placing them In
storage.
Potatoes badly bruised when dug
should not be placed In storage with
sound potatoes, since they are certain
to rot and spread infection throughout
the bins. A field that has contained
blackleg, and which has not been
rogued, is very likely to yield con-
siderable number of potatoes slightly
infested, at least, with blackleg rot. If
these are placed in storage with sound
tubers they may be responsible for

Mr.. Tolaas finds that large amount
of storage rots can be prevented by
placing the potatoes as soon as dug
in crates, which, when filed, can be
hauled to the storage cellar and care
fully dumped wherever wanted. II
1t is necessary to drop the potatoes

Storage cellars, especially those

tion Of bluestone-One pound being
dissolved in ten gallons Of water; or
one pint in ten gallons

ture of from 80 to 40 degrees Fahren-

down the loss from storage rots.

The High Cost of
Shoes Gets WALTON

"Ten cents to twenty-five cents a
pair is enough profit for any maker
of work Shoes" says Geo. r. Harsh,
head of the Harsh & Chapiine Shoe Co.,
OF Milwaukee, makers of the famous
Lion Brand and Steven Strong work
shoes for men and boys.
"For Is years we have been tryiE 8
to make the best work shoes In the

put up our own tannery, buy the hides
and do our own tanning, as we could
find no leather in the open market

than 100000 pairs through thou

INFLUENCE OF LOAD ON PULL
Harder to Haul Wagon When Bulk of
Load is Placed Near Front
Says Iowa College.

Tests recently conducted at Iowa
State college show that wagon pulls
harder when the bulk Of the load is
placed over the front wheels than
when it is loaded over the rear ones.
The actual difference in pounds of
pull amounts to nearly a hundred
pounds. so that fhe man who carried
the load from the rear of a wagon to
the front not only works harder him
self but he causes more work to be
done by the team. rs weIlNa
One of the reasons for this, say the
testers, is that the front wheels are
smaller and that they open up tracks
for the rear ones.
Where trucks are used 1t is Of an
advantage to load on the rear since 1t
aids in the traction and keeps the
wheels on the ground.

RANDALL PARRISH

One of the most popular, most in dustrious and typically American writers of the day, is Randall Parrish. He deals largely in plots of romance, mystery and adventure. Frequently the setting is in the West, but not always. His latest story "The Mys- tery of the Silver Dagger" is laid in the East and introduces new char acters and incidents. One of its un- usual angles is the mystery with which he surrounds the principal female participant. You do not dis cover until the final chapter whether she is a dangerous criminal, a foreign plotter, a secret service agent or just normal, sweet American girl acting from high sense of duty. Such un- certainty adds to the charm of the narrative. It will be offered soon as a serial in these columns. Be sure to get the opening installment.
