ON MUCHslIS CHAMPIONSHIP

A%ltehrir> Claim OF Champion

AltehrIl n

The Nankton correspondent Of the
Sioux tailS AssuS-Leadet has al AZ
ticle In a recent issue touching on
the Mitcheil's claim 90 the college
football Guardianship in the state,
In touching on the Nermilion team
we. do not voice the sentiments OF
the Iankton scribe concerning the
PLAYERS who are alleged to net be ell
ieible to the game. When Mitchell
PLAYED Nermillion the understanding
between the teams was perfect IN
every way, Mitchell knowing full
we'll and accepted without diSapprov-
al the lineup OF the state university
team. The following is what the
Yankton correspondent has to say
about the honor on the grldiron:
Yankton. recognizes Mitchell uni
versity'S football championship OF
the state in spite of the rival claim
made by the state university OF Yer
million. Mitchell clearly outplayed
the state Z. team on the latter :
home grounds after the Mitchell boys
had had a hard trip in getting to
Nermillion, being compelled to leave
home at an early hour and without
breakfast. The score was a tie, Yer.
millions score being made on a luke
and Mltcllell's in straight football.
Nermillion now claims the cham
pionship because the state. U. 1un up
a bigger score against Morningside
than Mitchell did but the fact is
Mitchell was saving her team Tor the
game with Gankton which came the
next week aud which the MITCHELL
ties realized would be one of the
hardest games on her schedule and
because Yankton had defeated her
the year previous.
The place for Nermillion to have
showed her superiority vas at the
time of the Mitchell game and not by
comparative scores made against a
team not in the state.
However, had Vermillion defeated
Mitchell she would not have been en-
titled to the championship because
the teams of the state q. do not play
under the same rules as do the teams
from Bookings, Huron, Mitchell
and Yankton, the other state teams.
These schools require that members
OF their teams must be bona tide
members of the school and of anna
tuer rank. These requirements are
not observed at the state school.
This year at least one man played in
the first game of the season on the
Nermillion team who had not regis
tered. Furthermore the captain of
the university team, McMarter, for
the past two seasons has played pro-
fessional base ball at Canton which
fact would prevent him from playing
on the teams of the other schools of
the state. Other members of the
university team are also in the pro-
fessional ranks. This alone would
i%nvalidate Vermillion'S claim.
Mitchell has a team Of gentleman
ly football players who play clean
football and is emitted to the honor
of state championship. Ian&ton
was defeated by Mitchell in a game
of the hardest kind of football and
has nothing but praise for her VIC
tors. Every team that has played
Mitchell this year has nothing but
praise for the team and the

FOLLOWED OFF A VISION
A Company Of People i'll Southern
Part of State Went to South
Africa Urged by Vision.

a party of farmers and their fam
lilies, numbering about twenty-five,
left the town of Beresford a few days
ago bound for South Africa. One of
their number had a vision some time
ago which conveyed the idea that if
he would 20 to that country he would
get an easy livelihood, and not want
ing to enjoy the snap all alone he
impressed his neighbors with the
genuineneSS of the vision and they
became enthusiastic over the matter
and concluded to join the crowd.
Since the night the vision appeared
they have been busy converting every
thing they had into money to pay
their passage. Hardly any one Of
the party had enough money after
paying their passage and providing
for eatableS en- route to take care of
themselves twenty-four hours after
they reach South Africa. They have
an idea that after they reach the
end Of their journey that some one
will be waiting for them and provide
for their living. 1t is very likely
that after they reach South Africa
they will awaken from their dream
and be up against the stern realities
of life once more.

soap That Floats.

A floating soap is produced by the
mass of soap being ''beaten' while it
is cooling, just as we beat eggs or bat
ter. This Incorporates air into the soap
and makes it fioat. a given bulk of
floating soap weighs much less than
the same bulk of soap that does not
float. one hundred pounds of soap
beaten will make many more cakes of
q given size of floating soap no beaten.
1t is due to 40 ingredient. Any soap
will float if beaten. A soap is no better
because it floats. This is no sign Of q
good soap. The only advantage is In
being able to find the cake more easily
If it be dropped into the bath or wash
tub. In soap factories the soap Is
beaten by machinery.

by Wire and Air,

An accidental experiment in the We
locity of sound is recounted by a cor
respondent. He Went to his telephone,
and just as he put the receiver to his
ear he heard the click of another tele-
phone. Another receiver had been re-
moved and the line was open.
Then he heard through the telephone
the Shrek of q locomotive whistle, and
q few seconds later the sound came
through the open window In the usual
way. Looking up, he saw a locomotive
half a mile away, passing the house Of
q friend.
The mystery was solved. The tele-
phone that was open was that at the
distant house, and the sound of the
whistle had come through its trans
formation into an electric current
quicker than 1t had Travelled through
the air.

Bent Water Pipes.

1t is calculated that one right angle
bend in a pipe through which water
flows will make necessary 8 per cent
more pressure for a given flow than is
required for a straight pipe of like size
and structure. With three sharp bends
at right angles the pressure needed is
10 per cent more than that which Is
used in a straight pipe.

coffin is carried outside the house and

A BIO chURN.
Over i2 Feet Long and { Wide: 500
 Gallons Capacity

The boy who used lo pound wenrily at the old up.and-down dasher, with the cream spattering on lis trousers and his mind away on the fish in the brook, wonld have shrunk aghast at the thought of a churn hundred times as big, that was l2 feet and inches Gong by 1 feet and inch in diameter; i; that held 500 gallons of cream aud could produce l5O0 pounds of butter at n churning.
 Bat that churn has no terrors for the small boy now. It is run by steam and could turn out its grist of three quarters of ton of butter every three hours if there was that much cream in the valIey-and never bat an eye. As a matter of fact of does turn out an average of 600 pounds a day, and not only supply all that Imperial eats. but sends great deal away to the "inside as we call the coast country, where it is highly appreciated and they smack their lips over Imperial butter.
 The creamery belongs to MT. Hage, a San Diego man who has MT. Cooper an charge here.
 The daiymen bring in the cream only. separating it from the milk on sheir ranches. By this they save much hanling, for l0-gallon can of cream, weighing about s2 pounds. represents a thousand pounds of milk.
 Tie most of the dairymen supplying the cream are from the country south, near Heber, Silsbee and Calexico.
