Air Mail Figure Given

Air mail dispatched from the In
dianapolis postoffice in February
reached a total of 1872 pounds. Post
master Robert H. Bryson announced
today. This figure was slightly less
than the 800 pounds dispatched in
January, but exceeded the February,
1929, total of TIT pounds.
The total last month was reduced
by the fact the Embry-Riddle Com

WdLberg, Great
Pitcher, Subject
OF 4 Write Up

"Rube" Walberg, formerly of Pine
county having been born and raised
here was written up in the August
issue of the Baseball Magazine in the
recipient fashion of one who has
made good in his chosen line of en-
deavoT.
1t will be remembered that "Rube
is with the Philadelphia Athletic
baseball club of the American league
and that he is rated as one of the
leading pitchers in the game today.
''Rube" Walberg, on the pitching
mound, looks like a million dollars
as the players say, He has every
thing" in ability and is a physical
specimen standing six feet two with
weight ranging from $50 to 190
pounds.
His catcher, Micky Cochrane says,
" 'Rube' Walberg ought to be the
greatest pitcher in the American
League" and in making that state
ment he voiced the opinion of half
the batters on the circuit. "Rube
has everything" continued Mickey,
who has caught Walberg plenty times
and certainly ranks as an expert on
the theme of pitching. His fast ball
isn't quite as fast as Lefty Grove 5
but it's plenty fast, and it has more
of hop to it, RUDE also has a great
curve, and one of the most deceptive
deliveries l ever looked at His
quick, jerky wind-up and the way he
seems to pull the ball from the back
of his shoulder blades is enough TO
give batter a headache just to
watch
The great praise he has received
from Cochrane and many other base
ball authorities in the past two or
three years is deserved and to those
in the stands he has as varied and
impressive assortment of talents as
one could wish to see. Moreover there
are times when he lives up to every
expectation. A goodly share Of shut
outs, still more impressive total
OF hard won victories fall to the lot
of this redoubtable descendant of the
Scandinavian vikings. Walberg is a
great pitcher when he is right, says
the magazine article.
Walberg should be the greatest pit

One Hundred Four Farmers and
Business Men Enjoy
Trip

One hundred four people from the
made tour to the Land OLakeS
creameries at Minneapolis and the
University Farm at st. Paul on Thurs
day, July II. The tour started from
the Hinckley Cooperative creamery
between eight and nine o'clock, as
cars went in one procession to the
plant, arriving at the plant at eleven
o'clock. They were met by A. j.
MCGUIRE, the General Manager of the
Land O'Lakes. They were first shown
through the printing room where
thousands of pounds of butter were
being put into Land O'Lakes cartons
in one, one-half, and quarter pounds
and also what is known as the pound
roll. Mr.. Mcclure explained that the
butter being printed here and put
into Land OLakes cartons was butter
that scored ninty-three or more. Any
butter that did not come up TO this
grade was placed into cartons of pri-
vate concerns. BY being able to sell
the under grade butter to smaller
concerns in their own cartons a bet
ter price can be secured. After visit
ing the printing rooms the group was
shown to the machinery supply de-
partment (some trouble was had in

that only one can of off favored

of butter.
Leaving this department they pro-
ceeded through the refrigerators
where carloads of butter had been
stored and were being kept waiting
to be printed and shipped out in car
tons From this department they pro-
ceeded to the powdered milk depart
ment where ii was explained that from
the casein in the milk. glue was be-
ing made. Different toilet articles
and paints were being made from the
powdered milk. After visiting this
department the sweet cream depart
ment was visited where it was ex-
planned that carloads of frozen cream
were being shipped to eastern mar

eastern families. This is one way
