The fact that the wheat produced
in the county is entirely insufficient
to supply the local market, is proven
by the fact that the Cedar Sheep
Association has found it necessary to
import car load of flour from the
north this early in the season. 1t is
expected to arrive here the first of
the week. The superintendent in
forms us that flour was not obtainable
either in Cedar or Parowan.

ABOUT PUSH BALL.
How This Very Interesting Game In
Played.


How This Very Interesting Game IL
Played.
Push ball is played on a gridiron field
or floor 100 yards long by fifty wide,
with goal posts Mt either end twenty
feet apart and connected by cross
bar seven feet from the ground. Tho
mammoth ball, almost globular in
shape, should measure six feet in d.
ameter and weigh between forty eight
and hf.x.;lapnds.- 49,. usually inflated
with compressed air.
The ball Is placed In the middle of
the field, and the teams line up as fol-
lows: Five forwards on the forty yard
line, two left and two right wings on
the twenty yard line and two goal
keepers on the goal line, eleven men
each. At the sound of the referees
whistle both sides plunge at full speed
upon the ball. and then the fun begins.
IL the ball is caught fairly between
the two human batterlng rams there Is
u rebound from Its elastic sides that
sends the players sprawling like ten
pins.
1t does not take long, however, for
the entire twenty-five men to get
around the sphere. put their shoulders
to the wheel, so to speak, and push for
every ounce of energy In them. The
heavier, stronger team will, of course,
have the advantage, but some trick
plays have been invented which lend
u IN Uau
from being n featureless contest of
mere Drawn and muscle. - National
