puller alone and the combination
of explosive and stump puller in
land clearing. The latter has
seemed to be the most practical
method of most of the farms and
soils visited.
Those who attended the dem
onstrations are all thoroughly
convinced that the Picric Acid
will do the work stick for stick,
that dynamite will do. They are
further convinced that on most
soils the twenty per cent
dynamite is the best and most
economical dynamite to use.
At every demonstration posi-
BILE a rock blasting demonstration
is also given. The mudcapping
: of the largest rock to be found
and cracking it up so it can be
easily handled and hauled off the
field has been one of the inter
esting features of the demonstra-
tions.
The county is indebted to the
University, represented by Mr.. c
M. Fardy and his assistant Mr.
Carson, the Martinson Stump
Puller Co., represented by Mr.
Charles Partridge and the Trojan

TIDEWATER MEET
G. p. Craig Of Duluth. Declares
Project Can he Realized
in Five Years.

People from all sections of the
state attended the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence Tidewater Confer
ence held at the State Capitol.
last Friday.
Charles p. Craig Of Duluth, ex-
ecutive director Of the. Great
Lakes st. Lawrence Tidewater
Association, was one of the prin-
cipal speakers. He pointed out
among other things that a saw
ing of seven ard three -fourths
cents can be made in freight on
each bushel of wheat shipped
from Duluth to Europe or any
world port over the all water
route instead of partly rail route.
Engineers have gone over the
project and figure that it will
cost about -270 million dollars To
build this deep waterway in the
st. Lawrence. river and make
that stream as well as all the
Great Lakes fit for ocean steamer
traffic. Just think of it, some

Craig thinks that it can be rea-
lized within five years if every
body in the Northwest will push.
The speaker pointed out that the
lake-to-ocean waterway is a ne
cessary one and it is bound to
come within 25 years in order
that the Northwest be able to
meet competition and get just
compensation for its labors. But
why not push and get it within
five years? Just as the Panama
canal was a necessity and finally
realized so will this also be
realized. The waterways Of the
country have been used too little
in the past-that is since the
railroads came into use.
The writer was in attendance
at this deep waterway congress
and felt that Pine County was
honored when J. Adam Bade. Pine
City, was chosen chairman of the

Says Letter From Lad on Border
= Makes Him Glad to Be in
- Baseball.
BY BABE RUTH.

DETROIT, Mich, May IA have
Just received great letter from a
little kid down in a town on the Mex
lean border. The lad is surely some
tan, and knows a lot about baseball.
he Is captain of team down there
and hopes to be a big league ball
player some day, he writes. OF
course, he wanted to know how hit
my home runs, and where l got the
power ! put into my swing.
DE also hopes that the Yankees
will win the pennant, and that every
time ] go to the bat in the world
series that / will hit a homer over
the fence. Now how could a fellow
want for more loyal support than
that? But it will be just as easy to
let you read the letter as for me
to talk about it.
Dear Mr. Babe Ruth:
II am a rooter of yours from away
down here on the Mexican border. I
Eope some day to see you play ball
with the Yankees, but right now /
can't get to New York or any place
where you are, so I'm going to write
you letter.
= BABE HIS IDOL
You should see the team that we
have down here. 1 play left field and
hit third. / picked out those places
in the field and at the bat because
you hold them, and l want to copy
you in everything. / hit left-handed,
too, although l used to be a right
handler. l can't throw very good with
my left hand yet, but I'm getting bet
ter. My dad says I'm crazy. but tell
him that Ieft-handers are all right,
and that you are one. Aren't you
lAft-hander, Babe? Gee, it must be
great to be a big star like you.
read once that you hit a homer with
nearly 10000 people in the stands. /
never saw SO many people in all my
life. There are not many down here,
but Just the same we have a lot Of
good times. The other day we had a
good ball game here and our team
along pretty good and made about
that many! / got a homer with two
on base.
THAT'S THE WAY, KIDDO!
II held my bat away back over my
shoulder, and when the ball came up
] hit it with all my night. The right
fielder tried to catch it, but fell down
and the ball rolled away out. Is that
how you get home runs, Babe?
II wish you would send me a ball
and write your name on 1t. And II
you can send me your picture Dad
says Tn nut to write to you. but I
don't think so. Do you. Babe? -.
THERE'S one more thing. I hope
