about farming is In harvesting
and threshinP.
You never see stone here un.
less it has been hauled. This re.
minds me OF ex commissioner l..
K. Cline, when here last summer,
seeing a Jack Rabbit sitting near,
he commenced hunting for a
stone to throw at IT. This also
reminds me to say, we have the
best roads l ever saw. They are
as level and as solid as floor.
The climate here has been delight
full since we came, with the ex-
yception of two or three stormy
days. We are 3St degrees north
latitude, while Knobsvllle is about
40 degrees, making us about 100
miles south of you, which, think,
has great deal to do with our
fine climate, although they tell
me 1t gets pretty cold here some.

Now, few words as to our
selves. We arrived here about
the middle of July. l went west
into Scott county and purchased

two weeks behind my neighbors,
and had three miles to go to work
each day, | managed to plough
and seed 143 acres in wheat.
About the first of October we
com menced building a house,
barn, and other buildings, which
we just completed last week, hav.
ing had from four to ten men EN-
plOyed on them for more than
three months. OF course, this
gave us all plenty to do, and you
may know we have not spent
much idle time. We are now oc-
cupying our new house, which,
we think, Is one of the cosiest in
the country. 1t is situated one
mile west of Ransom, upon
quarter of land purchased since
coming here, l now have three
quarters (480 acres) of land. We
would be pleased to have any of
our Fulton county friends pay us
a visit at any tune they can make

both like the country very much;

THE FOOTBALL HERO

Although he had romped with the year
lings and guided piow through the
lOam
The boss OF the 'leVen was speechless
when Rustcus doomed on the scene.
What mattered the fact he was shabby?
What mattered the fact he was green2
Could ever "a team get lineup twould
stand for center like that2
The ranks of the foe would vanish ere
one could articulate Scat
He rushed to the Reuben and nailed him
and led him away to a room,
Where trainers and rubbers proceeded to
marvel and fondle and groom:
And when at the close of a fortnight the
wonder was trotted in sight.
The gTandstand and bleachers went daffy
and howled themselves-hoarse with
delight
What next? Ask the worried kodaker,
who skirmished in vain for a shot!
The Reuben-led phalanX proceeded to
score with loose-jointed trot.
The foe faded fast as a snowflake in
Tophets most tropical pit
While RusticuS rOmped through the rout
like a mastodon having a fit
And when all the team that opposed him
lay mangled and dead on the field
The mob went mad as a Mullah and
hOOted and beloved and squealed
Then Rusticus, bordered with Iasses,
who called him a hero and prince
PTanced off with his halo of glory and
hasn't been worth cuss since.

AUTO POKER IS
LATEST GAME

has struck New York, and is spreading
from the sea to the YOnKers line. Along
the avenues approaching Sheepshead Bay

playing automobile poker" on Fifth
avenue, Broadway, Madison avenue and
all auto favored thoroughfores, automO-
bile poker is INDUCED in. evidencing that
the new bug has taken hold, for the
time being. at least.
The game is played thus: Stationing
themselves on an auto haunted thor
Oughfare. the "bOokmakers' and the play
ers lay bets on the highest possible hand
to be found in the next devil wagon
which may come hOnktng along. The
auto comes and passes in a cloud Of dust.
The number, say, is 1l651 One equals
an ace, so the hand showed three aces.
Those who guessed nearest TO the value
of the hand win. If the auto number is
21,24i the hand is two pairs. four high.
In the same way the number may re-
veal three or four deuceS, trays or fouTs.
The bOOkmakeT takes all bets on any
old number but pays off only TO the hold
er of the highest hand.
But the game is destined TO put the
bookmakers out of business, for the
chaUffeurs and their friends are next"
and the game is being already plugged
by them. Knowing the number of their
own automobile, they send their friends
along the line to get down bet. and
then comes the automobile. the number

HARD WORK AHEAD
FOR CAMP BELL
Prospects None Too Bright for
AggieS' Football Team
This Season.
Especial to The HeraId)

Logan. Sept. 22.-Footban prospects at
the Agricultural college this year are not
of the brightest A great many of the
old players, it is said. will not return. and
Coach Campbell is facing the prospect of
having TO develop practically a new team.
Captain Alva Hansen OF last years team
and Quarterback Mitchell are the only
old men now IN. although Halfbacks
Stewart and Andrews are looked for.
If they and FTew and JamisOn return.
Campbell thinks ne can develop a pretty
stiff team. but Frew is uncertain, and
Jamison has not been heard from. Cap
tain John Nelson Will return to school.
but not until Jan. I, being too busy to get
in before then, il Is reported. He is a
giant. and Campbell relied upon him for
the line. and is therefore greatly disap-
pointed over his failure to come back in
time.
a newcomer who looks good is a young
fellow named Lund. who captained the
team of the Elmira On. y High School
last year. He strips at 40 and plays
tackle. MCGOWAN, a last years sub, is in
school again. and il is figured will make
a powerful lineman. Preston Peterson, an
Oregon boy, is a candidate for quarter.
The AggieS' manager is negotiating with
Colorado teams with view of arranging
a trip for his team. Two outside teams
the Montana university and Montana
School of Mines-will play the Aggies
here.

From the jaws of the jungles Of Jayville
the Jasper hil5ed out of his lair;
The barn breath breathed balm from his

His mouth hung ajar like flytrap. each

His freckles, a leepard-like legion, his

His clothes were those mother had made

A "ha-ha' arose from the campus that

But Reuben was big-he was husky; his
legs were like saplings of oak;
His arms were like Steel. and he'd often
made two-year- old steers take a joke;
His back was the back of a Samson

His neck would have served as a bumper

His proweSs had never been tested quite

that they are daily practicing to get in
