PAGE SIX 1923 WORLD SERIK BROKE ALL RECORDS Receipts Totaled $1,063,815 — Atetndance 301,430 for Six Games NEW YORK, Sept. 30. (Uy The Associated Press.) —Fought out in the largest two baseball enclo-tuT-.- in the country, the New Y'> !• Yankees and Giants shattered all world’s series for attendance an i i receipts in their 1923 battle. It was baseball’s first million-dcl-j lar series with the flag of vidtj i floating atop the diamond’s costii-l est and greatest monument when it was raised over the Yankee Stadi um. The total receipts of eclipsed by more than $1 00,000 th? previous high fiugre, set by th ■ same chibs in their 1921 series, which included two more games. The total attendance of 301,430 for the six contests displaced the old rec ord of 369,977, also set in 1921. The fifth game of this memorable classic established new marks for a single contest. On that day, 62,- 817 paid $201,459 to enter the Yankee Stadium while fully 50,090 more stormed the gates in vain. Some idea of the financial heights to which the game has risen may be gained from the fact that the re ceipts for this game were greater 7he Fashion Shop J. E. HIGHTOWER, Prop.

Conference Called By Wallace of Industries Using , Wood I BP CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Service Writer ( WASHINGTON, Sept. 30—Wor ried by the continued shrinkage in the country’s timber supply, Secre tary of Agriculture Wallace is call ing a conference jn Washington Nov. 19 and 20 of industries depen dent mainly on wood as the raw ma- i teial of their products. At this meeting methods of mak ing wood “go farther” will be con isdered. For example, it will be suggested that paper-makers use the sawed-off “ends” of lumber from furniture factories. This wood is not all of the kinds paper-makers have used hitherto, but the agriculture department’s ex perts believe it can be adapted to their purposese. Many similiar economies will be discussed. Chief W. B. Greeley of the for est service of the Deaprtment of Agriculture estimates that a 25 per cent saving can be affected by com pleter utilization of the wood con sumed in building and manufactures of various sorts. Such a saving would represent 6,- 000,000,000 cubic feet of timber yearly, which, as it happens, al most exactly equals the country’s present annual tree growth. According to the forest service’s figures, America is using timber now four times as fast as it grows. The famine stage has been reached already, Chief Greeley says, and the HATCHING EGGS WANTED DIAMOND POULTRY FARM Phone 845 We are in the market for a large number of good hatching eggs weekly, of pure bred stock; either Leghorns, Reds, Rocks or Wyandotts.

It is to this wood scarcity, in great measure, that the Agriculture Department attributes the housing shortage, estimated for the country at 1,000,000 homes, notwithstand ing post-war building. Though substitutes for wood are in use, as Chief Greeley points out, they invariably are more expensive and not always as satisfactory. CRAZED MOTHER KILLS SELF AND 4 CHILDREN MANGUM, Okla., Sept. 30.—The bodies of Mrs. J. A. Melton and her four children, their throats cut, were found lying close together in one room by J. A. Melton, a farmer when he returned to his home five miles southeast of here late Satur day night. All were dead. Officers who investigated the i quintuple deaths said the razor was I found clasped in one hand of the I dead woman. It is their theory that Mrs. Melton slew the children and then took her own life before col lapsing beside the bodies of the I four. She is said to have been mqnt-j ally deranged for some time. Melton left his home about two i o’clock Saturday afternoon, remain ing in Mangum until late that eve ning, he told officers. A finger print expert from the state reformatory at Granite, call ed to the scene, examined the razov and the room, stating afterward . that the finger prints on furniture and the razor were those of the dead . woman.
