OXFORD EAGLE. OXFORD. MISSISSIPPI.

] The number of persons fatally in
jured on the Illinois Central System
in 1921 was the smallest in twenty
four years. according to recent
statement from President C. H.
Markham of that road. The num-
Der of fatalities in 1920 was a re-
duction of 3O.7 per cent as COM
pared with 1911. although the Illi-
nois Central System handled 1884
per cent more freight and 43 per
cent more passengers than in 1911.
In the road service of the Illinois
Central System passenger has not
been fatally injured more than
four years. Only one passenger has
been fatally injured in the entire
history of the Chicago suburban
service of the Illinois Central, which
was established in 1856.
The number of fatalities on all
railroads in 1920 was 1871 per cent
less than in 1911 and was the small
est in twenty-five years, although
1920 was record year of heavy
traffic, which required the operation
of more trains.
Trespassing and automobile grade
crossing accidents are the most pro-
life causes of railway fatalities. In
1920 2,166 trespassers AMI 1878 oc-
cupants Of automobiles, or nearly
one-half of the total number, were
fatally injured on the railroads. More
persons were fatally injured by falls,
automobiles and burns than on the
railroads.
Railway men are constantly train
ed in the Importance of safety,
and the good showing is made pos
sible by their increased efforts, the
president of the Illinois Central
System says.

"Oxford is true TO form. Season

less than two dozen were bought. 1t
couldn't have been that the price was
too high, for one could save more
than one hundred per cent by buying
a season ticket. And it couldn t
have been that business during the
games will prevent many from at

business in Oxford, nor are there all
that many people too busy on those
occasions to come out and show
their interest in the school that
means so much to them.

FLORIDA GATORS BEAT

University, Miss, April 12.-The
Florida Gators defeated Ole Miss in
the first of their two-game series
on the campus by the score of to
l. The visitors fell to Prices pitch
ing in the first inning and made
three runs. They followed this with
two more in the second and added
one in each of the sixth and ninth
frames.
Ole Miss made her lone tally in
the seventh, when Wilson scored from
first on Hewes' long triple over the
left field dump. Mississippi had men
in scoring positions but could not
force them around.
Dickson pitched good game for
Florida, keeping six hits we'll scat
tered. For the first four innings
the locals did not get man on base.
Besides his pitching, Dickson helped
the cause of the visitors along with
two extra base hits, one double and
the other triple.
Price was rather off the first two
innings but settled down after that
and hurled some good ball, poor sup
port being the cause of the last two
Gator runs.
The batting of Roach and Dickson
and the fielding of Hathorn were the
features of the game.

CHELAN co.
ATHLETIC CLUB
ORGANIZING

A movement is on foot to organize
large sportsmen's association in
Chelan county, to be known as the
Chelan County Athletic Club of Leav-
enworth, and the articles of associa-
ton are now being drawn up by At
torney Hughes of Wenatchee
Some of those interested in the new
organization are E. J. Tholin, VIM.
Walton, Al Hoffman, 0. A Lee, Dr..
Lessing and other local men as well
as prominent sportsmen Of Venatchee
and other sections of the county.
Membership, we understand, will not
be confined to citizens Of the county,
but anyone may join, and a big drive
will be begun at once. The member
ship fee will be $500 and this will
entitle the holder to the first enter
tainment given by the Club, which it
is planned to stage at Leavenworth
on Friday afternoon, July IS.
The club is organizing primarily to
advance and promote the manly art of
boxing. Boxing received a great i'm
petus during the great war and was
encouraged and made popular through
government agencies. While peace
and harmony are among the funda-
mental tenets Of the American people,
self defense is regarded as necessary,
for as long as this old world wobbles
on there will arise times when men
must stand up, probably bare-fsted,
and defend manhood and womanhood,
and it is well for all to know some
thing Of the game. Boxing is taught
in most schools, even girls colleges,
and some Of the members Of the
weaker sex have been known to de-
velop a punch" that put unwary
mashers on their ears.
Al Hoffman. it is understood, will
officiate as the Tex Rickard Of the
Club. Al has developed a knack at
promoting sporting events and il is
probable that his cleverness in this
respect will be given full play through
the agency of the new organization.

GETTING RID OF THE

strawberry leaves are curling up, with
inside white worms with brown or
black heads, and web nest. Since
the plants are bearing, he did not
know what to use that would rot in

plants by folding the two hal, es of
the leaflets together and feeding With

"This leaf roller can be controlled
by single, timely application If ar

water 1t is absolutely necessary
that this be applied within q week af-
ter the first appearance Of the moths
(April to June) and just before the
young larvae begin to fold the leaves.
Spraying after the leaves are folded
will do little or no good
y would suggest that you burn
over your strawberry field soon afteI

are already rolled up. In this way you
can destroy practically all the larvae

RAIL MEN
MAY STRIKE
SATURDAY

Unless the railroads agree to stay

in effect, a strike of 100000 railway

called for tomorrow, according to a
telegram sent by B. NJ Jewell, head
Of the shop crafts, to the association
Of railway executives.
The telegram alleges that an over
whelming majority Of the shop crafts

is dependent upon the reply of the
railway executives and here is.litt-
hope that this will be sach as to pr

Through some error, according to
local workmen, some of them had not
received ballots up to a couple days

men is not known. excepting in a few
cases. Some of the men have ex-
pressed themselves as not favorable
to strike and think that the matter
ought to be settled by arbitration
claiming that strikes are a failure. Il
is probable, however, that a call for a
strike would really be obeyed by all
the men involved. which Is given as

burned and then much of the town
would have been in danger.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

HITCH YOUR RADIO TO
PHONE. SAYS COLLEGE.

Washington State College, Pullman.
June 19.-"Conversations over the or
dinary telephone are not heard on the
wireless receiving set when phone
wires are used for antennae, nor are
the wireless messages detected on the
| phone, so there is no interference or
interruption of telephone or radio
service" said Dean H. V. Carpenter
Of the college Of engineering of
Washington State College this morn
ing, discussing his discovery, just an
nounced
This is probably the biggest step
yet taken in the popularizing of the
radio, for it eliminates the most diff
ficult feature Of the receiving station.
In cities where there are many Chin
neys, or in the neighborhood of tall
trees, it is often difficult to string ra-
dc wires where there will not be in
reference.
"Details of the method recently an
nounced for using telephone service
wires as antennae for wireless mes
sages are now available" continued
Dean Carpenter. "The system of
connections consists simply in con-
Meeting two mica condensors Of very
small capacity in series across the
telephone service wires, and attach
ing the wireless receiving set to the
middle point between the condensors.
This balances out the ordinary voice
currents, and acts as a frequency FL
ter, permitting only the radio fre-
quency waves to reach the wireless
equipment
Permission TO use this must be Sc
cured from the telephone company
but its application will cause no inter
ference whatever with the telephone
service. 1t is, in fact quite impos-
sible to tell by telephone test wher
the radio messages are going over
the wires. One using the radio car
hear the telephone call bell and the
click Of connection, but no message
so there is little interruption there

lutely no disturbance to the wire; only

are heard on the wireless phone, anC
these would not make any serious in
terruption'

covery at the meeting of the Inde
