Octopus Employed as
Miner and Fisherman

The octopus was originally used for
the purpose of bringing up coal from
the bottom of the sea dropped by
passing boats, and like the camel and
the elephant, when hoisted in midair
by crane violently protested against
the indignity of such treatment. The
octopus objected to the sensation of
suspension, and when it touched
ground struck out in all directions,
and so contrived to entangle in its
tentacles every species of marine life.
thus performing the double role of
miner and fisherman. And when the
domestic goose was made to assume
the functions of angler, ii brought TO
the trade its own fishing rods, as the
baited tackle was merely attached to
it's legs; and during the process of
providing its own food. it unconscious
y and without much effort or incon-
venience helped its owner to amuse
and entertain his friends, for in those
remote and unsOphisticated days this
form of entertaining guests was as
much a convention as it was high

RICE'S PLAYING
MUCH IMPROVED
Drove in Seven Runs in One
Contest for Tigers.

Babe Ruth has yet to hog all the
| batting hOnors in baseball. In the
matter of lifetime averages, total num-
Der of base hits collected, and one or
two other angles, Ty Cobb still stands
far above the BehemOth of Swat And
in addition to these "all-time" records
Ruth still has one or two others at
which to shoot.
One of these is the matter of bat
ting in runs in single game.
Harry Rice's achievement in driving
in seven runs in one contest for the
Detroit Tigers brought this phase OF
the records to the front.
Rice laced out a double. a homer
and a single in that game, and sent
seven runners across the plate with
the three blows. AS matter of fact,
the seven runs were showed over in
the first four innings, but the total
goes into the records as game" feat.
The records reveal that Rice's feat.
as startling as it was, did not set a
record either for the major leagues.
or for the American league alone. The
American league record was estab-
lished II years ago by Roy HartzeIl,
then playing with the New York Yam
KEGS. On July y. 1911, Hartzell drove
in eight runs.
His mark falls four runs below the
remarkable record set for the Nation
al league-and for the majors to date
by Jim BOttomley of the Cardinals,
in sending II runners scampering over
the plate in one game.
The Tigers got Rice and Elan Van
Gelder, in-and-out pitcher, in exchange
for First Baseman Lu Blue and Heinie
Manush. Rice's playing alone makes
the deal, to date, good one for the
Tigers. This, however, is fortunate
for the Detroit club Blues absence
is felt, due to the fact that Johnny
Neun, young first sacker, elevated to-
his post, has been a complete loss TO
the club.
AS for the Browns, Blue has been
playing good ball at first and Manush
has been going well in the field.
Apparently the reasons assigned by
Manager HOwley for permitting Rice
to move along were well grounded.
The general improvement in Rice's
playing and attitude toward the game,
would indicate this. Rice was not the
cOntented, unburdened player in st.
Louis that he is in Detroit.

ST. CLOUD MEN BUY
TRACY PRODUCE PLANT

Tracy's big produce plant, known
as the Geo. D. Tracy Co., Inc, and
one of the major business concerns in
that section of the state, changed
management last week when it was
sold to r. j. PETER and H. M. Rose,
both of St. Cloud. The corporation
which has been doing a business of
more than 100000 annually has al
ready gone into the hands Of the new
owners. The new company will OPP
crate under the same name and will
conduct the business along the same
lines as in the past, employing be-
tween so and 60 people. They ex-
pect to branch out into new territory
and greatly enlarge the business. The
change in ownership of the Tracy
plant writes new chapter in the
history of that company which was
founded at Tracy about twenty-five
years ago.

DRAGS USED TO FRIGHT
EN- FISH INTO SEINES

Fish seiners who operated at lakes
west of Tracy the past season had
very good success at first, but after
the men conceived rather novel idea
of driving the fish into their net,
some fine hauls were made. Disc
harrows were fastened behind auto
mobiles and these were driven back
and forth on the ice on one end of the
lake. This caused the fish to mass
at the other end of the lake, where
the nets were laid out, and huge
haul was made after this operation.

POULTRY IMPROVEMENT
PLAN TOLD IN FOLDER

Losses caused by disease to which
poultry is subject can be held to the
minimum by adoption of the new
Minnesota sanitation plan worked
out by committee of county agents
and specialists of the agricultural ex-
tension service of the University.
The plan if followed will help to
control avian tuberculosis, intestinal
worms, and coccidiosis. With these
foes of the poultry flock checked, it
is reasonable to expect increased pro-
duction and profits. Steps in the
plan are:
Using portable brooder houses for
artificial rearing of small chicks on
ground that has not been contamin-
ated by the old flock.
Fencing the young flock so that it
will be apart from the old flock until
ready for housing October l. Five
hundred chicks can be kept in yard
of one acre. If the fence is made
chick tight the young birds cannot
run with the old ones and will be
less liable to infection with the germs
of tuberculosis. This enforced sep
aration will also aid in checking
trouble with worms and the spread Of
coccidiosis. The young flock will
not mingle with hogs that may be in
fected with tuberculosis.
''Disposing of all old birds as they
begin to mott, or at least by Octo-
Der first of each year, to permit NOV
ing the young birds into poultry
houses.
Cleaning and disinfecting poultry
houses thoroughly before moving the
young stock from the fenced area
to winter quarters.
"Remodeling Of the poultry house,
if necessary, by providing concrete
floor and allowing floor space of
three square feet for Leghorns and
four square feet for the larger
breeds"
Large numbers of small folder
outlining the plan also contain sug-
gestions for feeding and will be sent
out on request by the Extension Di-
vision or the Office of Publications
at University Farm, ST. Paul.

Lack Of q specific plan for defense
Of the United States Is preventing
adequate preparation for tho mo-

war time needs. Assistant Secretary
Of War Charles B. Robbins. revealed
today in his annual report to Secre-
taFy of War Davis.
Although 10 years have elapsed
since the war;" Robbins said, little
real progress has been made to-
ward placing our war reserves on a
sound and enduring basis.
Requirements still are in a state
OF ftux, surprises and deficits are
largely a matter OF conjecture or
opinion, influenced by various points
Of view, and recognition OF the prob

Construction Gains
Viewing the agricultural situation
as whole. the report said. no very
marked difference appears between
conditions in the past fiscal year
and those in the year preceding.
Total value Of new construction
in the United States during the year
was between seven and eight bill
lions. This exceeded the total for thu
year preceding by three per cent
Volume Of freight moved by tn.
railways was about six per cent be
low the figure of 1861. which
was described as an exceptionally
active year in the building indus
try. A steady Improvement in the
quality Of service given by the rail
roads was noted. and the chronic
car shortages during and after the
wal have now been wholly done
away with. II was said.
Outflow OF Gold
Three outstanding developments.
it continued. marked the banking
and financial situation last year.
Most notable was the tremendous
outflow of gold Allied with this re-
versal in the gold movement was
the lowering in interest rates. FOL
lowed by a sharp rise during the
second half Of the year. In the
third place, remarkable activity was
noted on the. stock exchanges.
prices of stocks in general rising
rapidly.
Foreign trade in the year was
marked by a continued expansion
in export OF manufactured goods.

tain and supply information as to
what the Assistant Secretary of War
needs In the mobilization of material
reserve stocks-is not and cannot
be possible until specific defense

limited that the requirements there
under may be determined.

not in any sense general mobili-
cation plan, but a specific forecast
OF the effort required adequately to

transportation. is the greatest need

Robbins praised the work Of the
national guard and suggested the
ACCESSIBILITY of occasional assembly
Of large bodies of national guard
troops particularly divisions, re-
gardless of whether the units are
located entirely in one state or
scattered through several states
The 3oth Division. composed of men
from Tennessee, North Carolina
South Carolina and Georgia, was
assembled at Camp Jackson, S. c..

Lack Of officers assigned to the
mobilization of material Is interfer-

Robbins said.
Robbins recommended that au-
thority be granted for immediate
investigation of wartime munitions
needs.
