that George Washington would have
won the game il the team had displayed
the same form it showed in the contest
with the Ashland College. It's play was
far below its capabilities.
Changes in Varsity.
Several important changes have been
made on the first team this week.

Some have argued against sorghum

yielded about twice aS much as corn
and therefore the total draft on the

has lately grown in favor of stare aid
and National aid combined State aid
alone can accomplish much. in CO.
operation with local authorities; but,
backed by National aiG. the work Of
road Improvement is put upon the
most substantial basis. National aid
has been given TO river and harbor
improvements. TO the building OF rail-
roads. 10 the erection OF public build
ings. and 20 other public works and IN
situations; but. the farmers. to whom
good roads are a necessity for asri-
cultural prosperity, have had COMPARE
lively little National aid I'm the way OF

the same opinion. Good roads are
economical: the farmer ksows IL. and
the consumer knows Il. and their m
fuence is being felt" the Herald says.
