HARD TIMES
DRIVE MEN
FROM SWEDEN
Many Skilled Laborers Come
: to America in Hopes of
Steady Employment
FEW RETURN HOME
Some Hope to Perfect Them
selves in Modern Methods
and Return to Sweden
FEW RETURN HOME

Stockho ohm, Oct. 4.-The Influence
of hard times on Swedish emigration
to the United States is illustrated by
recent reports from Swedish iron
and steel works, and from l.. W.
Fagerlund, governor of the Aaland
islands.
The recent labor conflict caused a
number Of workers to leave their
homes for America, attracted by the
reports of industrial prosperity in
that country. 1t appears that most
OF these emigrants were skilled
workers.
Governor Fagerlund says that 54s
Aalanders left for America during
the first six months of this year.
He has made study of the causes
of this exodus and has arrived at
some interesting deductions. One
category, he states, consists Of young
men who wish to perfect themselves
in the latest working methods Of
their trade or profession, intending
ultimately to return to the home
country. Another group includes
masons/ and construction workers
who hope for steady employment in
America. Others. go out in the hope
of earning enough money to pay off
the debt on their family homesteads.
Some are younger sons of farming
families who are tired Of working at
home fer almost no pay.
Unfortunately, the governor states,
very few return to their native soil,
and Of those who do come back many
adapt themselves to home
conditions and finally turn again to
America. This seems to be the case
especially --.'+h the women, who find
work on the home farms too strenu-
Gus after. having become used to
lighter kinds of work in America.

LOSE MANY
MINUTES IN
BALL GAMES
Lost Time Is Analysed by
Detroit Sport Writers;
Much Time Wasted
MANY INTERRUPTIONS
Average Time For a Side at
Bat Was Five Minutes;
Longest Fifteen

Detroit, Oct. 4-"Time of game
2 hours" at the bottom of baseball
box score means a number of things
Primarily it refers to the time con-
sumed in completing the game. A
group of Detroit sport writer's, how
ever. discovered at game here that
much of that time is not taken up
with playing ball. =
For instance, an average of one and
quarters minutes was required dur
ing the game for the teams to change
places. In game of nine innings,
| therefore, approximately % and one
half minutes Of playing time is con-
sumed while the side at bat takes to
the field, and the side in the field
comes into the dugout.
+ The manner in which a nitcher
winds up" and his general form
while in the box affect the time of
the game to varying degree. Some
pitchers, the sport writer's found, de-
liver the ball to the batter without
unnecessary delay, while others take
their time.
In the game "clocked' by the writ
tiers, between the Detroit and Wash.
lngton Americans, Zachary and Cole
were the opposing pitchers. Both
are left handed throwers. The time
required ny each for delivery of the

DIVERSIFIED
FARMING IN
STATE GAINS

Continued from Page u
GA banker in the northern part
of the state reports an increase. of
rs per cent in the amount of sweet
clover and corn raised ON each farm,
and says there are at least 25 per
cent more milch cows, and the cream
checks received this year are 25 per
cent more than last year.
""rhree years ago not more than
a half dozen made their living other
than depending on grain and running
store bills, whereas today almost
without exception all their living and
incidental expenses are paid from
the products Of the cows, hogs and
poultry, and along with it goes a
large acreage of corn, potatoes, tame

Many Pure Bred Sires.
"'We can state that we have GO
pure bred sires in this community
and some of the largest alfalfa acre
age in the state. We also have 1000
rGheep, and great number of pure
bred shorthorns, quite high grade
of dairy cattle and great number
Of turkeys. This bank expects to

state reports that the production of
dairy products has Increased 424 900

Since 1910, the year of total

production of hogs and cattle"
Selected at Random.
The above quotations were selected
at random from the letters and in
clude bankers from almost every Sec
ton Of the state. 1t is most pleas ing
to note that more and more the slo
gan of our people seems TO be that
there must be raised on each farm
enough products outside Of wheat,
rye and flax to pay the living eX
penses OF the family working the
farm. When this becomes the slogan
in every community and the farmers
raise practically all of their family
living upon the home farm and
enough more Of poultry and dairy
products to take care of the needs
of the towns and cities in the i'm
mediate vicinity, with enough more
OF these products to pay for the arti-
cles that must be bought, our state
will have arrived at condition of
prosperity and stability which will
be the envy Of other states of the
Union.
In considerable number of COM
munities this is true already, and it
is becoming increasingly true in the
majority of the communities of this
state, and the present prospects are
that inside of another two wears a
marvellous Transformation shall have
been wrought in our state. II is this
TACT that accounts for the spirit of
optimism which is reflected by al
most every letter received i'm spite
OF the failure of crops and the small
price of wheat.
