TEAMS OF BLIND PLAYERS.

Associated Press t. TIE Eveasag TtMes.
Louisville, KY. Oct. 25-The two
most wonderful football teams of the
country are those of the Kentucky
Institute for the Blind.
Last year the institute placed it's
first football team in the field. At first
1t was marveled at that blind boys
could play football at all. Then they
met the boys of their own weight and
with good eyes, asking no conces-
sions from them, and held them to
such close scores that every one was
amazed.
But this year the blind boys are SO
football crazy that it has been found
necessary to place a first and second
team in the field. They are playing
all around their opponents with good
eyes. The first team, which has play
ed the two high schools here. has not
been scored against, though It has not
been able to cross the goal line of its
in both games. The second team, On
the other hand, has won both its
games, shutting out the opposing
team. They bore the Broadway Stars
down to defeat, II to 0.
A majority of the players on these
teams are totally blind. Those who
can see at all have such imperfect
vision 1t cannot be of much help to
them in the strenuous game in which
they have entered. But all the other
senses of touch, hearing and that
subtle added sense of the blind, are
brought into play in such a manner
that one seeing the blind boys on the
gridiron is not aware that they are
handicapped. The only concession
they ask OF their opponent is that
they call out pass when the ball is
put into play.
Prof. Gregory. the athletic instruct
or of the blind school, to whom is due
much of the credit for their athletic
development, attributes their prowess
to their great self-confidenme, which
is developed in them by their infirm-
ity. He also says the blind boys, see
ing nothing, fear nothing. When up
against line they do not quaver at
the superior size or formidable ap-
pearance of their opponents. In
stead, they plunge into them, think
ing of nothing except to demolish
their ranks. And in most cases they
do.
The blind elevens will play all the
elevens around Louisville this seas
on, and judging from their start, will
have a marvellous record.

Corn in North Dakota.

Further proof Of the advantage to
farmers of diversifying their crops
has been given this year by the re-
markably good results which have been
attained through the cultivation of
corn. This season with its hot weather
has been very favorable to the growth
of corn and the fact that there were
no killing frosts in September gave
opportunity for every ear, including
even the late planted corn, to ripen.
The numbers of ears to a stalk has
been unusually large, and the yield has
compared very favorably with that in
the regular corn states.
The corn Is being used to fatten cat
tie and hogs for market and in this
way is being made to yield unusually
good returns. The experience of the
farmers this year is proof that corn
growing can be made a success in
North Dakota and is expected to lead
to a more extensive cultivation of this
cereal. It should prove q very profit
able crop to the farmer, as good re-
turns can be secured from the sale
of corn which is to be ground up into
meal and the field corn makes the best
possible feed for fattening hogs and
cattle for the market-McIntosh Re-

Up four flights of dingy tenement

poor cigarmaker.
He was tiny mite-wee enough to
make his home in a hat. He was 80
per cent appetite and 10 per cent voice.
Although the cupboard was sometimes
bare, the new entry was never
scratched at meal time. He went to
post at top weight and came away un-
der wraps.
He fattened against adversitv out of
sheer perversity and toodled into the
street to grow up. He was prodigy,
but his way to fame was hard. There
was no little red school house around
the corner-it was monster of brick.
And the rails he split were the broken
pine boxes carried from the Dutch gro

He grew up little bit. At IA he
was the size of doll and tipped the
scales at sixty-five pounds.

the fact that Maine soil is p9rticuIarI,.
well adapted to apple-growine and that
farms long since abandoned as hopclesslv
barren can be made to produce choice an
pies and incidentally handsome profits.
One shrewd business man in the Kcnne-
bee valley who has been quietly investing
in abandoned farms gives it as his opin-
ion that Maine is destined to take tho
place in the apple world which Calicor-
nih now occupies as n producer Of or
angr3 and citrus fruit
Another business man in Lewiston who
has large orchards of his own in the
country, says: IF I mad no other bust
ness / would be an Orchardist ANY man
can make Il competency at apple raising.
1t is Il safe business. il returns big
profits. You never have to seek your mar
ket: for your market seeks you, and year
in and year out will do more for a man
in health, happiness and income than any
other business I know Of at this time.
Deserted farms! There ought not to be y

chards."
The facilities which the New England
farmer possesses for exporting his apples
could not he better. The ports If Port
land and Boston both have fast European
service and have already built up an
enviablc reputation abroad in the apple
trade They are directly connected with
the farmers orchards by the many ram
ifcatons of the Boston e. Maine and
Maine Central Railroad systems whose
low charges and care and experience in
handling the traffic leave little to be de-
sired,

| AS the subject of civic Improvement
| is one that is receiving the earnest
| consideration of Maine club women it
| may be of interest to record what has
been accomplished by their sisters in
| Ohio.
The first work undertaken by the
Civic Improvement committee of the
Ohio Federation of WOmens Clubs
was to establish Civic Improvement
| committees in every club and to place
Civic Improvement topics upon every
proSram.Of the 80 federated clubs in
Ohio. more than $50 have now their
committees and topics. Each club has
been urged to become a member of
the American Civic Association. 1t is
not federated clubs alone that are an
pointing these committees. In Rip
ley. a town of $500 Inhabitants on the
Ohio river. nearly all the church so
| cieties have followed the example of
| the club. The results are clean
| streets. drinking fountains, trash re-
| ceptacles. schOolhOuses repainted and
yards cleaned up, and pictures in the
schools. In Troy. another small town.
| there is not Il chanty left-all have
been replaced by neat cottages
Cincinnati, through the civic i'm
provement department of her Wo-
| mans Club, started the first play
ground i'll Ohio. Last year the club
| did good work against expectOration
| in the streets and cars. and this year
| its members are dcvOting their whole
energy to the suppression of the smoke
nuisance. In publishing the "Toledo
! Club Woman" Toledo has given an
! impetus to the work all over the state
Admirable work in establishing school
gardens has also been done in that
city. Cleveland clubs have taken a
most active interest in home garden
ing, school gardens and Fairgrounds
| Now they are especially devoting
| themselves TO attacking pernicious au-
vertising and much good has been ac-
complished in the way of abolition of
the smoke nuisance Smoke consum-
ers are now in successful operation in
200 boilers of the American Steel G.
Wire Company.
The Womans Club Of Columbus has
| accomplished much, first by "agita-
ton and then by co-opcration with
the Board Of Trade. They have or
ganized Junior civic leagues, eStab-
liShed Fairgrounds, cut down weeds
and obtained new street signs. A
cleaning up day was observed last
April. More debris was collected than
the city could take care of, so bonfires
, were in rcquistion. The smoke nuis-
ancc is also receiving much attention
and smoke consumers have been plac-
cd upon some manufactures and have
given great satisfaction. GAINESVILLE
and many other towns have started
junior civic leagues. Dayton is fam
Gus for school gardens and other civic

Ing that elderly lady's surprise when

evening, noted the absence of the
sheets, but concluded that Culver had
torn them up along with his own odd
sheets and thought no more of the mat
