FREIGHT PUSHERS PLAY
TENSTRIKE HERE SUNDAY

" Gene (raD Caskey, manager of the
undefeated "freight maulers" team,
had his colts and a few older horses,
out for practice at the city ball park
Tuesday evening in preparation for a
game to be played here next Sunday
afternoon when the fast Tenstrike
team will try to make the M. & l.
bunch think that they don't know how
to play ball.
No donations have been asked by
the ball team here this year, since all
the boys are playing because they
like the game, but they do ask those
who still favor the national pastime
to attend the games and lend their
moral and financial support in that
way. Every game this season has
been of big calibre and worth more
than the small price of admission ask
ed.
The game next Sunday promises to
be another good one, and it is hoped
that there will be a large attendance.

ATTENDANCE DECREASE
WORRIES CLUB OWNERS
Interest i'm National Pastime
Has Fallen OFF Since
Early Part of June
Bv Henry Farrell,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, July 20.-Club owners
are beginning to get concerned over
the decrease in attendance at the
major league bail yards.
The 1921 season got away well and
until the first of June the crowds
cuualled the record breaking attend
ance of 1926. Then the slump came.
The Polo grounds, where the two
New York clubs make their home, has
been giving un'mistakable evidence
that interest in the national pastime
is falling off. Crowds of 5000 and
less now sit in on the daily games
where 10000 were only fair last
year. This, too, despite the fact that
both the Giants and the Yanks are up
in the race.
Some of the wise followers of the
game blame the slump on the Give
ly ball." which is making the games
much longer and less interesting. 1t
is fact that where games last year
used to be played in an hour and a
half to two hours, nine innings now
run much longer and the spectators
begin to file out to the subway and
the elevated around the seventh in
ming.
Others maintain that baseball was
lucky to be so late in getting a wal
lop by a general business slump. 1t
seems more reasonable to believe that
the fans are staying away from the
parks because they have other places
for dollar. The tight financial
condition Of the country is shown in
the bleachers. During times of pros
perity the bleachers are almost de-
serted on the Polo grounds, but it has
been noticeable lately that the seats
out in the sun are more popular ths2
the higher priced seats in the grand
stand.
Baseball and the theatrical world
have lot in common in New York.
The same element that fills the thea
tres swclls the crowds at the baseball
games. There is lot of significance

HIGHWAY PROJECTS NOW
WAITING ON CONGRESS
New Construction Planned MAY
Be Cut in Two If Aid Is
Not Given Soon

More than 100000 of state and
100000 of county-bond, improve
ments in SO scattered localities we'll
under way together with the $3,O00,-
O00-a-year maintenance system, the
Minnesota highway department pro-
gram for 1921 now in waiting on
congress.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, this week made public
a desire to add more than 100000
of grading and gravel surfacing and
100000 of paving to the construc-
ton list this season. That will be
made possible, he explained, only
through the early passage by con-
gress of legislation continuing Min
nesotas federal aid allotment of ST.
$4,000 a year.
UNLESS federal aid is forth coming
on the old basis" said Commissioner
Babcock, "the highway department
must cut in two it's new construc-
ton plans for this year. 1t will
mean that highway users in Mime
sofa will receive in 1921 only half
the permanent improvements plan
ned. Early passage of the so-called
Phipps-Dowell or farmers road" bill
for which we have been fighting hard
with the cooperation of the National
Farm Bureau federation, however,
Will result lin the full measure Of
first year benefits under Amendment
No. 1. Failure Of such legislation,
Or even passage of the, Townsend
erich mans boulevards" bill, will
seriously handicap the launching of
the good roads program in this state.
Minnesota citizens and public organ
izations, as before suggested can as
sist by petitioring members of con-
gress to use their offices to brng
about continuation of federal aid on
the old basis"
Awards of sS5O,000 of new, con-
struction contracts late this month
will he the last of the season, the
commissioner said, barring prompt,
favorable action by congress.

If KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is Sign You Have Been
Eating Too Much
Meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort to
filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and logy. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog you
must relieve them, like you relieve
your bowels; removing all the body's
urinous waste, else you have backache,
sick headache, dizzy spells; your stom'
ach sours, tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full OF
sediment, channels often get sore, water
scalds and you are obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the
night.
Either consult good, reliable ply
sician at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts
take tablespoonful in glass Of water
before breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lthia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer initiates, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot

BRITISH PREMIER HAS
4 MODEST SALARY
He Has Hard Work to Get Along on
S1o,25o a Year, So Says Her
bert H. Asquith.

London, Feb. s-The premier OF
Great Britain has hard time OF II
irving to pay his bills on a salary OF
5000 pounds a year and his pay ought
to be raised, says the former prime
minister, Herbert II. Asquith, VINO
ought to know for he occupied that Po'
sition for IL years.
As far as known, Mr. David Lloyd
George has not asked for a raise IN
paw but his remuneration has been the
subject of an inquiry conducted by q
committee of Parliament which also Is
examining into the salaries OF all the
British cabinet ministers.
Mr.. Asquth told the committee that
the office of the premier OF Great BRIT
ain is very expensive one and MS
duties can not be properly discharged
nv an expenditure limited to that
amount. The former prime minister
added. that he, himself, was much
poorer man when he left office than
when he entered it.
Mr.. Asquith explained that the pre-
mier had to do a great deal OF enter.
tanning and afford hospitality TO all
sorts of conditions Of people both at
home and abroad but, under the exist
ing arrangement, he had to defray this
expense entirely at his own cost.
Even if government hospitality
fund should be provided for entertain
ing distinguished foreigners, Mr. As
.ouith was Goahe opinion that the pre-
mier's salary ought to be advanced.
Mr.. Asquith had few words to say
about the privilege which the premier
has of occupying the official residence
at 10 Downing street.
at is quite true he said, that you
live in the house free from rent, rates
and taxes, but il is very expensive
house to keep up; it is very ineonyen-
lent house in many ways; it requires
large staff and ! suspect myself that
any prime minister who had experience
of il as I had would, if he were Of
fered the choice, rather not live in it
at all"

On Hundreds of Service
Men in Massachusetts
Through Own Negligence
FAILED TO NOTIFY
DRAFT BOARDS
That They Enlisted and
They Are on Record AS
Slackers

Boston, Feb, s,-Through failure to
notify draft boards of their enlistment,
hundreds of service men in this state
have gone on the records OF the ad'
infant general at Washington as slack
ers, according to report received at
American Legion headquarters here.
To avoid humiliation attached to the
unjust stigma, all former soldiers who
are at all doubtful about their present
status, are urged to send copies OF their
war records to the army authorities
