LAFAYETTE TO LOSE
SERVICES OF LAUNI
Famous Halfback and Tackle Re-
nounceS Football.

EASTON, Sept. 17.-Frederick Launt.
the famous halfback and tackle Of
Lafayette, arrived yesterday and an
nounced that he would not be able to
play football this fall. The news brought
great discouragement among the stu
dents and the supporters OF the team
Ever since his freshman year Launt has
had hard luck. Last year he hurt his
knee and was kept out of the game
for long time. All summer he has been
working hard to be able 10 come back.
He is In poor condition and says that
it is a matter OF stopping play or being
crippled for life. In Launt Lafayette
loses one of it's best and hardest players.
With this one exception the prospects
seem to be bright Morrison and Hall.
both Of last years team, are in good
form to play at halfback. Sharpe, from
Hazleton, enters the freshman class and
promises 10 make a good guard. New
berry will hold down one of the tackles,
and Flad, of Easton, and Hoskins. who
played last year, will probably develop
for the other Thomas, the eleven's lit
tie end, is back, but Kinter who played
two years. will not return. Sitter will
take care of quarterback. Besides these
men there are a number of men who
show good physical form and will make
strong scrub team. Center, fulIback,
and one end will trouble the coaches
most, though there is promising material
for all these positions. All the men of
last years team are back except Kiuter
Lamson, and those who graduated.

WORK nF THE CITY MISSION
Annual Reports showing Gratifying
Results Are Presented 20 the
Trustees.

The board OF trustees OF the Omaha City
mission met last night in the ofice OF A.
@. Kennedy in the First National bank
building and heard reports of the mission
work for the year past and discussed plans
for future operations. During the twelve
months covered by the reports much good
work has been accomplished, and those
most intimately connected with the mis-
sion feel that their efforts have been amply
repaid In the good done among the people
whom 1t is hoped to reach. In this year
the building occupied by the mission on
Tenth street, between Dodge and Capitol
avenue, with the land it stands on, has
been purchased and the officers and trustees
have had the double burden Of raising the
necessary expenses for each day and OF
laying aside the fund for the building. In
the future the work will be easier for all
hands and IL may be possible to branch
out in new lines OF work later In the year.
For the twelve months ending April ~,
$s,6s2.59 was received by contribution,
ts26.1O coming from the young peoples
societies OF the va~lous churches and s2,O76
being donated by individuals. OF the total
receipts 81. 1921 was set aside for the
building and Improvement fund, and OF this

OF this being in the building fund. OF tho
money pledged sos is still unpaid.
During this time S55 gospel meetings
have been held. with an average attendance
OF twenty. these resulting in the conversion
OF twenty-five. The Sabbath school had
hfty-two sessions. with an enrolment OF
seventy-hve and an average attendance OF
thirty-hve. Seventy-seven cottage meetings
were held, 113 Jail meetings, forty Bible
study meetings. seventeen hospital visits
made and N,154 general visits. The sewing
school had 1873 pupils. who finished 456 gar
ments, and the cooking school thirty-one.
The kindergarten class enrolled thirty. the
mothers meetings forty-four. the Jewish
class htteen and the temperance classes

April, May and June constitute the
spring season. From an astronomical
standpoint March has usually been reck-
oned as a spring month. But from a prac-
teal climatic standpoint March belongs
to the winter months. Not until the
twenty-hrst day of March does the sun
reach the equator in its journey northward
which brings us the first intimation that
the rigors Of winter are passing and the
balmy influences of spring are beginning
to be felt.
The spring months bring peculiar phys
ical liabilities to those who are well. They
also bring peculiar notifications in cases
Of chronic diseases. There is a phase Of
catarrh known as spring catarrh. They
give a typical case.
