BLACK S0X ARRANGE
transforming TOUR
AS CASE IS ARGUED
(Rv Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July 30.-Plans for a
Transforming tour by former White
Sox players charged with conspiracy
to throw the 1919 world series were
being made today as Edward Prin-
dizille addressed the jury in the prose
cution's final argument in the base
ball trial.
The players elected Eddie Cicotte,
captain of the, team. anil began work
on an itinerary which would include
most of the larger cities of the coun-
try.
Weaver was tue only player on trial
who refused to consider the tour.
Weaver has refused to play ball with
anyone since his indictment.
The players who expected to make
the trip are: Cicotte, Jackson, Will
liams, Gandil. Risberg and Felsch.
Mr.. Prindizille's statement dealt
largely with the techniealities of the
law on conspiracy. While maintaining
that the defendants threw the 1919
series. he pointed out that it was
necessary for the state to prove only
that they had conspired to throw the
games.
Whether the series actually was
thrown has nothing to do with the
case" he said.
After the argument was finished
court adjourned until Monday when
Henry A. Berger of the defense will
speak.

LOCAL BOYS ENJOY

Boys at the camp are having a
wonderful time, according to word re-

ideal camping spot according to one
boy who describes the camp in a let

Following is a letter describing the
camp:
Camp Kern is certainly wonderful
place. We are having a fine time.
So far as know no one has been
homesick
There are six lodges in which we
sleep. The Yukis, Mohican, Choctaw,
Kiawa, Catawba and Apache lodges.
Each has twelve hunks, some have
more.
We have campfire each night
When 1t rains we have 1t in the fire.

comp-fires we have programs-some-
times plays, sometimes stories or any
thing of interest
We have a camp magazine. It's
really not a magazine, because in
stead of us buying it, 1t is read to us
at campfire The council house is a
large building in which we eat dinner,
play, and sometimes have campfire.
There is a wide porch on all sides
on one side it is screened in and here
we eat. Each lodge has its own table
In the main room, in the council
house, there is a victrola and other
amusements
Fort Ancient is short distance
down the road and here some of the
boys go and buy pop and "cokes"
The old fort is up on the bluff
Some people have the idea that the
fort was built of brick, like the fort
at Mackinac or other places, but this
is not true. 1t is constructed entirely
of Indian mounds. These mounds
were built by the mound builders,
away back before Columbus dis
covered America. There are many of
them. Arrow heads are found here
by the dozens. Workmen have exca-
waited skeletons, tomahawks, weapons
of all sorts, shapes and sizes.
The river flows right by camp and
we swim three times a day. | must
close now Yours truly,

RURAL MARKET PLAN
CONSIDERED AUG, Is

Discussion of the rural marketing
plan devised by the secretary-mana-

take place between a government rep
resentatnve from the postoffice de-
partment and the local secretary
manager before Aug Is, according to
a letter received at the Chamber of
Commerce, from Washington.
About July 1, the secretary-mana.
ger submitted plan to the postmaster
general, providing for the direct mar
keting of rural produce through post
offices in communities Of $4,000 or
more population. Favorable regard
for the proposition was expressed sew
eral days later by the postmaster
general through his secretary. The
letter indicated that a postoffice rep
resentative would confer with the sec.
retary-manager and others interested
little later.
The plan submitted would permit
the farmer to call the postoffice near
est him at stated intervals each day
and list the kind. price and quantity
of produce he had for sale. These
facts would be chalked upon a black
board in the postoffice lobby for the
information of the public. Orders for
quantities OF produce would be made
by the consumer directly to the pro
