LAST Thursday, Nov. IL, the
ground froze hard enough to stop
plowing in this county. It has been
a good long fall for doing the work,
and farmers have their fields in fine
shape for seeding in the spring.

Where's CrOOkstOn's Grit.

Where's CrOOkston's Grit.
Bright and early last Saturday
morning, the foot ball boys of the
Warren High schools were on the
grounds appointed for that days
game with Crookston. They were
measuring out the field, laying it tout
in the gridiron form and putting up
the goal posts. The game was tc
be called at 1:15 p. m., and was ex-
pected by all to be a hot one, the
hottest of the season in this part o1
the country. Crookston was un.
derstood to have a strong team, and
each one of us intended to go into
the game hard; harder than we ever
did before. The girls were pre-
pared to give US strong support
the day promised to be fine, and
everything else indicated that the
time would be a good one. The
boys were all in a fever of expec-
tation as they worked merrily on.
What was the surprise and con-
sternation then, when suddenly,
someone, coming from town, an
nounced that Crookston had just
telephoned that she would not come!
Prof. Young, our manager, rushed
to the nearest house where there
was a telephone, in order to verify
the report by a ''phone interview"
with Crookston's manager. That
gentleman, however, whether or
not he is Dutchmap, seems to in
cline towards the phlegmatic, for he
has not once, yet, been on time when
conducting any business with our
manager. This time he did not dis
cover himself before the train had
left CrOOkstOn, when it was too late
to bring the team down, anyway.
AS an excuse for his not keeping
his agreement, he maintained that
he could not get his men together.
Now, they stay that a poor excuse
is better than none, but, certainly,
no excuse is better than this one.
What kind of discipline, and what
kind Of captain have you anyway,
CrOOkStOn?
OF course, all the football team,
and the rest Of the peopleof Warren,
too, were disappointed. And can
you blame them? It certainly was
a mean trick on Crookston' s part, tc
call the game off only a few hours
before they should have appeared
on the field. And there is no posi-.
bic excuse other than that she was
afraid to play us. By rights she
ought to forfeit the game. OF course,
Crookston, we know that the score
we ran up against Hallock is rather
imposing; but you should have made
trial Of us anyhow. Who knows
but that, by some sort of an accident
you might have beat, or, at least
tied us. Of course, you cannot be
blamed much for being scared" o.
US, you ought to have said so before
and not act the blackguard, the way
you did. We can sympatize with
you in the way you treated Rec
Lake Falls, Saturday before last
Red Lake Falls would probably have
run in a too heavy score agains1
you if you had not been cute enough
to kick up a muddle. That was
very clever of you, Crookston, yor
evidently believed that discretion
was the better part of valor. But
then you ought to remember how
badly you beat" us two years ago
We had a weak team then, and will
probably have a weak team next
year. Our team this year was quite
strong, but next year, Crookston,
then will be your chance. And,
unless 1 am very much mistaken,
you will be quite anxious to play us
then, because we will not have
much of team.

BY contributions from the commercial

members that something effective will be
accomplished in the way Of securing a &c

Mr. Frasius said: I'VE are just now
opening up campaign on the railroads
which they must soon realize is not a
mere haphazZard undertaking, but e bat
tie waged on strong principle and backed
up by nerve and cash. If the other bust
ness clubs fight as strongly as the board
of trade something will soon take turn.
The idea that prevailed among the grain
men of Wichita some tine ago that
few might possibly be ION the inside"
with the railroads has been changed and
every one has put his shoulder to the
wheel to fight for concession from the
railroads"

BROTHER is ARRESTED.
Walter jones Says He Was Here When
Murder Was Committed.

AS TO who murdered William Jones near
Leon last Monday still remains a mystery.
Besides John Henderson and Mr. and
Mrs. D. Loach, who are now being held
young Walter Jones, a brother Of the
murdered boy, has been arrested and is
now in custody.
The many peculiar actions of Walter
Jones led to his arrest and it is believed
that he was connected with the perpetra
ton Of the crime. What has made things
seem suspicious for Waiter is that he
tells two different stories about being at
Wichita and at Augusta at the same time
when lie first heard of his brothers death.
He is now confined in the cell on the sec

smouldering crater seems vague TO
the dreamy natives; at least they pre-
fer Drawing ii and leading an easy life
to removing to safer parts where more
toll is required TO make the soil pro-
duce
But their danger is great Many
times, even within the knowledge of
living man, Mayor has burst forth and
spread disaster for miles around. Only
six years ago, in 1897, occurred one
of its numerous upheavalS.
On the morning of June 18TH of that
year, with little warning, violent
earthquakes convulsed the region
around, and a torrent of incandescent
lava shot out of Mayon's crater,
streaming down its base. Whole
towns were destroyed, and only those
residents who were feet of foot es-
capped. The towns of San Antonio,
San Isidro, Santo Mino, San Rogue
and Santa Misericordia went up in
fire and clouds of smoke, while lava
streamed down the streets, burning
everything for miles on either side of
its course.
AS usual, the eruption was accom-
panied by a violent tempest that
spread destruction where the lava
could not reach. Over three hundred
people were killed, while many more
were so badly wounded as to be
crippled for life
For days the storm continued, with
the VOLCANOES crater as its center.
The explosions inside the mountain
were heard all over the archipelago,
and even in Hong Kong. Thick cleo
trio clouds whirled around the noun
tain, shooting out brilliant flashes of
violet colored lightning. For months
afterwards steady column of smoke
rose a mile high, spreading at its top
like huge ghostly umbrella.
Mayor is sister to another volcano
that rises out of the Lake of Taal in
the Batangas Province. This other
volcano also makes its presence felt
as far as China and japan. In 1910
this mountain, supposed to be about
10000 feet in height, blew off its top
and sent streams of lava into Manila
and for sixty miles around. From
traces still evident it is conjectured
that this cataclysm was more terrific
than any that has occurred within the
knowledge of scientists.
The springs of mineral water about
these two volcanoes have proved most
beneficial to invalids, and health re-
sorts are now being established there.

These conditions have developed
river life a great deal in the Philip
pines. Many families live the year
around aboard their cascoes-big craft
similar to canal boats. They are tow
ed up the rivers by steam launches.
or pulled by huge sweeps, and, where
the banks permit. by carabaos-native
oxen Those parts of the river too
shallow for cascoes are navigated by
dugouts, in which the products from
the mountain regions are transported
to the low lands, the highest points
the cascoes reach. There the goods
are transferred, one cascoe holding
the contents OF several hundred boats.
Another feature of Filipino river
life is the ferries. At every road cross
ing river has its colony of ferrymen,
and passengers are usually taken
across in small dugouts with outrig-
gers.

uhere Gossip and Work
fire Combined

In the Philippines the natives do
their own washing in a way peculiar
to the country. Once a week the
women gather at the riversides with
the weeks wash, and while they
pound the clothes with fiat wooden
club on a stone, they discuss every
question of the day, from politics to
village gossip.
This is one of the events of the
week that lightens the labors of the
Filipino housewife, wherein she COM
bines profitable work with pleasure.
Unlike the women of most other
countries. the one subject they do not
discuss Is dress.
