A GOOD SPORT
WHAT IT MEANS

= He isn't a good sport" a boy
said with disgust q few days ago
as he stood on the baseball field
and hit the ground with his bat.
Another boy was walking away
with a sulky face. He had been
I, caught out. and he refused to play.
Hes too smart the sluky boy
said as he shook his head threat
eningly Don't be baby" third
called and a fourth jeered
:. The game went on and the sulky
boy missed a good mornings play.
He wasn't good sport.
A good sport does not mean a
boy who can play games well or
who excels in some one game 1t
means boy who coOperates well
in all games. A boy who does not
need to be ahead all the time to
have a good time. 1t is just as
important to know how to take
defeat gracefully as it is to know
how to be successful without get
ting q swelled head.
Not long ago Babe" Ruth. the
idol of most boys who play base.
ball, wasn't good sport. and every
one was disappointed in him. The
referee gave decision he didn't
like, and the fans began to ieer
at him, and because he had receiv-
ed so much praise, he did not know
how to take the defeat. He lost
his temper. and 1t was said he

ed to climb into the grandstand
after some one who had laughed
at him. He wasn't a good sport.
If games teach boys how to grin
when they lose as well as when
they win, it Is as valuable lesson
rs they will ever learn.
Another thing that being good
sport means is not giving up. Some
one has always to take defeat. Both
sides cannot win in the game. The
fellow who gets sulky and won't
play is the one who is going to lose
because he loses everything. The
boys who keep on in the face of
defeat may lose the game, but they
have had practice that will help
them to win the next time. and

ing. They don't lose much.
And, when boys leave the school
ground for the game of life. the
good sport is going to have much
better and easier time than the
fellow who sulks and won't play.
He may, what we call win" in
the game of life or he may lose
but he is going to have pretty
good time doing either so that a
measure of success is bound to be

Carload Rates


Madison.-Reduction in carload ex-
press rates on strawberry. shipments
from Wisconsin points was announced
Monday by the state department of

ing of thousands of dollars to straw
berry growers Of the state during the

dertake Sending to market by refriger-
ator freight" w. p. Jones of the

ton.

in the growing of Strawberries and
with favorable weather from now on,
the 1924 crop should reach the 100
car mark. The three most prominent
sections Of the state that grow straw
berries on commercial basis are
Bayfield,, Warrens and Sparta. The.
state department is inaugurating a
campaign in bayfield, county to feder-
ate the different shipping points into
one sales organization with head
quarters at bayfield,. The Warrens
Fruit Growers association was organ

Der of years. All associations report
prospects favorable for a large pro-
duction this year"

City Golf Course
to Remain Closed
Showers Today Make it Impossible to
Open Links for Weekend Play
ers, Carlson Says.

With today's storm all possibility
of opening the municipal golf course
tomorrow, melted, F. A. Carlson, di-
rector of parks, announced today. The
first and ninth fairways were still
soggy on Wednesday, but had the
weather stayed fair and warm, it was
thought for time that there might
be a possibility to hold the official
season opening of the links on Satur-
day to accommodate the weekend
players.
However, when rain started falling
early today all prospects for getting
the course open by tomorrow vanished.
Mr.. Carlson stated that to allow play
on the course in its present condition
would mean that it would be badly cut
up for play for the remainder OF the
season. An announcement, he added,
will be made as soon as the course is
in condition for play.

KENOSHA PROTEST
TO HAVE WEIGHT
Action of Kenosha Against
Chicago Water Steal is
Having Effect.
TO RESUME HEARINGS

Kenosha's protest to the continuance
of the taking OF 10000 cubic feet of
water per second from Lake Michigan
by the Chicago drainage canal system
will have a desirable effect at the
hearing of the rivers and harbors con-
gressional committee at Washington,
according to letter which has been
received here from William G. Bruce,
president of the Great Lakes Harbor
association. Kenosha is member of
that organization and has joined in
the fight against the< big water steal.
City Manager C. M. Osborn several
weeks ago forwarded to Washington a
statement presenting Kenosha's atti-
tude regarding the project.
The evidence covered at hearings
during the last week, Mr.. Bruce stated
was so conclusive and convincing as
to leave Chicago without a leg to
stand on in this fight. Every argu-
ment that could possibly be used
against the Chicago water steal was
brought to the surface he said.
Hearings to be Resumed.
''The hearings will be resumed on
Monday morning when we shall sub
nit the balance of our testimony"
continued Chairman Bruce.
Chicago expects to occupy several
days more in demonstrating it's right
to waterpower privileges and to urge
the question of controlling works.
at is desirable that we again have
good representation. Those who
can conveniently take the trip to
Washington, D. c., should do so.
City councils and chambers should
file resolutions of protest before the
end of next week.
Attorneys General Alert.
attorney General H. L. Ekern of
Wisconsin,, Attorney General A. B.
Dougherty of Michigan, Harvey D.
Goulder and City Manager William
Hopkins of Cleveland, and Judge
Ferris of New York, proved splendid
witnesses for our side of the case.
"The hearings are held in the eau
Gus hall of the, congressional Office
building"
Kenosha has not sent and will not
send representative to the hearing
but City Manager Osborn forwarded
to the chairman of the congressional
committee a statement showing what
investigation has been made here re-
garding the project and showing that
Kenosha has many good reasons for
opposing it,

Disappearance a Mystery.
With the disappearance of the For
ellie, following a storm on Thursday,
September 20, new chapter in ma
rine mystery was added to the his
tory of the Great Lakes. The boat,
worthy crafts on fresh water, was last
seen when she cleared from Benton
Harbor, Michigan, loaded with 5000
baskets of grapes for Milwaukee. That
was on Wednesday, the 10Th.
That night a storm swept the lake,
and when the Forelle failed to appear
the following day the families
of the five men aboard began to feel
uneasy The following day the I'M
easiness grew to alarm and search
ing party, headed by Captain William
Lehman, 70 years old, father of one
of the crew, was organized and put
out. Captain William Kincaid of the
Milwaukee coast guard launched the
Sea King, and coast guard stations all
over the lake joined in the hunt.
After hours of fruitless search the
boats put back to Milwaukee, arriv-
ing there Saturday night. Then rum
ors that the first tangible clue to the
whereabouts of the missing boat had
been picked up near Kenosha, reached
Milwaukee, and the Sea King was
again put out
Search All Night
All night the boat headed south. 1t
was about a. m, just as it was
breaking day, that the lookouts saw
a sea gull perched high on the water.
At the approach of the cutter it
Tapped away, and investigation show
ed that its perch was an empty grape
basket bearing the name of the Michi-
gan concern from which the cargo of
the Forelle had been purchased. Later
a port light was picked up, and then
more empty grape baskets, but moth

officials here to advise patrons to util-

of sending the coin or currency by

the fact that the Postal Union con-

payment being made only for the loss
of the article. in it's entirety and
furthermore because of the opportun-

Sulphuric Acid is
Valuable By-prOduct

Platteville, Wis.-Sulphuric acid has
become a valuable by-product from
the zinc mines of southern Wiscon-
sin, according to instructors of the
Wisconsin Mining school, here. Two
acid plants in the district, one operat-
ed at Cuba City and the other at Min
eral Point now have combined out
put of about $500 tons of acid per
month, statistics at the school show.
Few persons are familiar with the
important facts relative to the use of
sulphuric acid in the industries, the
instructors state. 1t is claimed by
eminent authorities that the use of
such acid in industry in a country in
dicates to a large extent the civiliza-
ton and industrial development of
that nation.
Instructors at the mining school
claim sulphuric acid is the most i'm
portant chemical known to science.
Distribution of sulphuric acid plants
in the United States sometimes is seq
regated into six zones, the third of
which embraces the states of Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and portions of Kentucky
and Michigan. The acid plants in this
zone are principally at the zinc estab-
lishments of Wisconsin and Illinois
and in the Chicago district.
Production of acid as by-product
in the roasting of zine ores began in
1895 at plant in LaSalle, ILL.,, and the
practice has become almost general
in the past 20 years at the zinc plants
in the Wisconsin field, according to
industrial records.
The acid plant at Cuba City, Wis,
is said by mining school men to be
producing from two to three hundred
tons of acid from 1000 tons of green
ore each week.
