DEEP Cash ON
ARMFR0M FALL
| 0NPOP BOTTLE
CuHes Out of ScrimIhnge WITH
B5ood Flowing IN Stream
HinoS Stitches to Close.

Today'ss telegram from Manager
Flanagan brought the unwelcome
Information that Patrick J. Buck"
Gavin, who buclzed the line so well
against Detroit last Sunday, has
attached himself 10 the hospital
list with q badly cut forearm, re-
suit OF a fall on a broken pop
bottle during a scrimmage yester-
dry with the high school team OF
Manitowoc. The wound required
nine stitches to close, and not only
that but puts Gavin out OF the game
-for7-at least two weeks. The glass
just missed the arteries. Gavin
bied profusely and there was con-
siderable excitement, not only
among the spectators but among
the players as well until a physi-
clan could be rushed to the field
to stop the flow.
@Buck" was resting easy this
morning and no serious effects 9th
er than his loss to the team are
expected to accrue. His place will
undoubtedly be taken by George
VandeTloo
No one seemed to understand how
the pop bottle came to be on the
hCFdr atAoldHiS " WdlteT. Inc
playing field has the appearance of
being well kept and nothing of this
nature had been discovered on pre-
vfous days Gavin was given the
ball for an off-tackle smash and
he went low with considerable
force. When he arose from the
scramble he was more surprised
than anyone, perhaps, for it WIS
not until he saw the blood that he
realized what had happened.
1t was feared for a time that
serious consequences would result |
from the loss of blood. 1t was not |
known how deep the jagged ends |
OF the bottle had pierced, and not |
until the physician succeeded in !
checking the blood did anyone ease !
up.
Gavin's loss is a severe blow to |
the team. coming as it did at a |
time when he was fitting in nicely i
to the Independents organization. /
Chances are he will not be able
to appear until after the Marine |
game, although every effort will be |
made to hasten the healing of the i
wound, if such is possible.
His absence from the lineup Sun
day may not seriously handicap
the chances Of the Islanders to win
but it viii have a tendency to up-
set the plan of attack that was
being worked on all week. 1t was
intended to drive Gavin into the
Green Bay line repeatedly in hopes
or wearing the opposition down to
tne stage where the aerial attack
could be brought into use.
All other members of the squad
are in good condition, and this in
cludes Walter Buland, whose knee
has kept him out since the mem
orable clash with the Staleys at
Decatur. 1t is not proposed to
start Walter Sunday but chances
are he will get in before the game
ends by way of limbering up his
unused muscles bit. Walter is
anxious to jump back into the at
fray. according to Flanagan. and
everyone is just as anxious to have
him.

ST. FRANCOIS COUNTY
EXHIBIT INSTALLED

One of the most comprehensive ex-
hibits so far received by the Develop
ment service Bureau Of the Chamber
of Commerce for inslusion in the
"Hall of Resources that lis being as
sembled, was recently received few
days ago from the Pennington Cham
Der of Commerce. This exhibit pic
lures tile resources and products of
st. Francois county. Agricultural
and mineral specimens are included,
such as iron, lead, tiff. granite, sui
phur, sandstone, limestone and iron
pyrites, all of which are marketable
products of the county.
The most noteworthy section of the
exhibit is a collection of lead speci-
mems which is q part of the famous
Doe Run Museum. This section alone
is valued at $4,000 and represents the
life work of the late F. P. Gr@ves, for
mer superintendent of the Doe Run
Lead Company, whose collection Of
minerals was assembled from every
country of the world. st. Francois
county is among the largest lcad-pro-
ducing areas in the world and tits Sec
ton is of special significance because
of that fact.
The agricultural section embraces
splendid specimens of the farm crops
produced in the county, including corn,
wheat, alfalfa, various kinds of clover
and bluegrass, orchard grass, soybeans
and tobacco. Numerous photographs
are used in illustration. Statements
show at a glance the resources of the
county. 1t is shown that million
dollars is invested in high school
buildings and over a half million dol
lars in churches. 1t is also shown
that bank deposits of the county in
creased more than 100000 in 1920
and that total bank resources are ap-
proximately $6,OOO,OOO. There are
210 miles of hard-surfGced roads and
1866 motor vehicles in the county.
Pennington, Flat River, Desloge
Bonnie Terre, Elvins and Bismarck
are the important towns. Four COM
mercial organizations are working to-
gether to promote the general inter-
ests of the section.
Come up and see the exhibit on the
eighth floor of the Chamber of Com.

STOP THAT SOIL THIEF

On rolling lands tie soils worst
enemy is erosion, and the spring
rains will set in motion many dis
astrous landslide in Missouri. AS a
defense against this damage and to
prevent a vast loss of fertility, the
mangum terrace is recommended by
the Missouri College of Agriculture.
There is hardly county in the State
in which terracing cannot be practic-
ed with profitable results. Proper
cropping systems, of course, form the
first step in the control of erosion;
yet on sloping fields where cultivated
crops must be grown, terraces are
needed to complete the line of defense.
The mangum terrace is constructed
to resemble a graded roadbed running
across the slope of the hill, according
to E. w. Lehman in Circular SO of
the Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station. A series of such broad
ridges are constructed at regular in
tervals from the top to the foot of the
hill. Between terraces all rainfall
which is not absorbed collects above
the terrace and follows a gradual
slope around the hillside to the outlet
where it is discharged. The velocity
of the water is checked and the great
err part of the sold carried is deposit
ed above the terrace. Owing to the
| retarded flow, the water does not have
a very great eroding effect.
Under ordinary soil conditions il
Missouri the terrace should be mad,
16 to 20 feet wide with fall towart
the outlet of about six inches in 10t
feet. 'i.'.

There is still no relief in sight for
Door old boss-ridden st. Louis. The
reelection of Henry W. Keil for a
third term as Mayor of that city last
Tuesday condemns that city to four
more years of political graft and mis-
management of the affairs of that
city, for which the taxpayers must
pay, and pay dearly. The people of
that city have for a number of years
been most unfortunate in failing to
change those in charge of affairs, UNI
til now it has permitted To-" gather

FRUIT CROP DAMAGE
PLACED AT 10000, 900

Mountain Grove, Mo-, April l.
That the entire orchard fruit crop and
nearly all of the other fruit crops of
Missouri and Arkansas 0zarks, the
famous fruit belt of this section of
the country, were destroyed by the re-
cent freezes in the Mississippi Valley
is agreed to by all horticultural ex-
perts, who have made an exhaustive
investigation. Their findings bear out
the earlier reports made Immediately
after the freezes. The loss is placed
at between $4,000, 900 and $15,000,-
600. This is said to be the first total
orchard crop failure since 1902.
Among the total losses are apples,
peaches, pears, apricots, cherries and
plunis. Among the partial losses are
strawberries and grapes. 1t is esti-
mated that there will be only one
third of strawberry crop and all the
first buds of the grapes are killed. On
~ recently the WEIGH Grape Juice Co.
arranged to establish factory at
Springdale, Ark. and contracted with
hundreds of fruit growers for their
output. The losses among the grape
growers will greatly curtail the opera
tions of this factory. " w
Strawberry growers during the win
ter had formed associations that were
designed to result in the shipment of
berries in carload lots, iced, to the
Eastern markets, but this plan prob
ably win not be carried out this year.
Thousands Of young fruit trees are
either killed or stunted. Blackberries
and raspberries are also believed to be
a total loss. Not even the late apples,
such ais the Ingrams and Comets, were
saved, ). according to experts at Marion
vile and the Missouri I ExReFimsnt
Station here.
The ESTIMATED losses in this district
on fruits are as follows. Appless Sa,-
100000; peaches, 100000; strawber-
ries, s2,OO0,OO0; pears, 100000;
plums, $5oo,OOOs otherl berries, @$ls

lose business valued at 100000, and

lose thousands of dollars.
Estimates of this years. staple fruit
crops were as follows; Ntblsss 1880
