Football Has Been
Spoiled This Season
The New Rules That Became Effective This Season
Has Spoiled Many Good Plays, 1t
Is Claimed.

u e z
That 1t will be a season of surpris-
es, Of flukes and of poor football is
now becoming the unanimous opinion
Of the football coaches all over the
east, and the games that have so Tar
been played have proved this opinion
most thoroughly.
In none of the games, however, has
the play been at all satisfactory as far
as the new rules are concerned, and
all of the large scores have been made
by teams that possessed several bril-
liant players, who could carry the ball
to within striking distance of the OPP
ponents' goal by brilliant runs or by
taking advantage Of fumbles by the
opposing backs when they were re-
ceiving punts. Few of the big teams
have been able to make more than a
few first downs on their opponents
Judging from this record, it is appar-
ent that the game has not fulfilled its
needs this fall, and that there is some
thing very much the matter with the
system played by the teams, or with
the new rules. 1t might be supposed
that the teams are not yet letting out
their best plays and that this is the
cause of there being so few yards
gained in actual football Yet this is
hardly the case, and most of the teams
will start in early to work out their
new plays in actual games so as to find
out just what they are worth.
In all of the games so far played
punting has played the most import
ant if not almost the entire part Of the
game. The teams have been at a loss
to make the necessary ten yards, and
there has been nothing left to do but
resort to punting.
1t seems hardly ideal to have the
weaker teams winning games on FUN
bled punts over which they have no
control, and it will do very much
harm to football to have it develop in
to that kind of game. There seems
to be little doubt of entirely punting
duels that are most uninteresting and
place football in the category of a
one-man team. Only in this case the
game win be played by three men, who
are the men who run down the field
on the punts. In most of the games
so far this year these men have been
the only ones to figure
That the rules committee have
spoiled the game for this season seems
already assured. No coach has been
abba. to solve any plays that will gain
tground and to have game one success
sion of punts is not by all means what
the public desires to see or what the
teams want to do. The new rules
with the ten-yard gain and the for
ward pass provisions looked splendid
on paper, but in practice there seems
no way out of the difficulty. Already
the rules committee is coming in for
its share of criticism and ridiucuIe,
and in the midst of it all it is well to
go about year back to see what caus-
ed the changes in the rules. No less
an authority than a member of this
Iaugust body states that the rules were
changed because the officials did not
enforce the rules last year. How the
new rules win settle an opinion of that
kind one is at a loss to understand. If

Beef Without Corn.

N. ID. Farmer: One of the great adj
vantages of North Dakota as a place
for the production of pure-bred stock
is the abundance of useful feeds other
than corn. On this subject of beef
without corn we are glad to offer the
testimony of Colorado stockman, Eu-
gene Grub, as given in the Denver
Field and Farm. He says:
MANY eastern cattle and sheep
feeders assert and reiterate again and
again that we cannot produce choice
meats without feeding corn. In this
assertion we believe they are greatly
mistaken. Three years ago 1t was
my pleasure to visit Great Britain, the
original home of all meat producing
classes of animals. / made my trip
to that great live stock country with
the object Of studying conditions there
and the practice Of the breeders Of
that country in the production Of
high class animals, and the meats for
which they are so justly noted.
Imagine my surprise and pleasure
when ] found that the nobility of
Great Britain, Including the king, were
almost without exception the most en-
thusiastic and successful breeders and
feeders This fact did much TO ex-
plain to me the reason for the pho
nomenal success and interest shown
by the people. Of that country in this
branch of their agriculture Another
great surprise 10 me as am American
was to learn that the quality Of the
meats as produced In Great Britain
was far superior to anything to be
found on this side OF the water, and
that these meats were produced by
feeding roots and grains other than
corn
The lean meat found in the English
market Is much more tender, juicy
and better favored and the fat dis
tributed much more intimately with
the lean meat giving 1t that fine mar
bled appearance so much TO be desired
but never found In the meat of an
animal finished largely on corn. Then
too, the fat was of different character

How Alcohol is Made.

Dr. Chas. Baskeriield: Alcohol,
usually the product, rather educt, of
fermentation, is made by processes In
volving three steps. The details diff
fer in different countries. First a
saccharine fluid is prepared by the ac-
ton of dilute acids or alkalies, dias-
tase, or other engines on a number
of raw materials, like starch from po-
tatoes Gas in Germany, corn Gin
Americal orany cereal. sweet po-
tatoes, vans, cassava; sugar in mo-
lasses. sorghum. beet-root residues,
maizestalks, grapes, apples, pears,
peaches, figs, berries, mountain ash
berries, melons, gourds: cactus, honey,
milk, etc. Second, the mixture is fer
mented. by which step the sugar is
converted into alcohol. And, third, the
alcohol is is separated by destination.
Roughly, 100 parts of starch or sugar
yield fifty of alcohol. By products are
obtained varying with the raw ma
terial, fermenta and other conditions,
as temperature and the number of re-
Installations. Some residues, as
schlempe, vinasse, etc, are excellent
foods for cattle; some yield potash
salts, an essential constituent OF fer
tilizers. The fertilizing materials re-
moyedfrom the soil by the crops tire
thus returned to it. From Germany,
where apparently the production of
|aicohol and saving of the by-products
have reached the highest perfection,
over 800 metric tons Of fusel oil
largely anlyl alcohol were exported
in one year to the United States, to
be used in the manufacture Of amyl
acetate, varnishes, explosives, per-
fumes, etc
Mr. Mason, the United States con-
sui general at Berlin, has said that
THE enactment Of laws covering all
uses Of alcohol In 1887 (by Germany
was an example of intelligent and
far-seeing fiscal legislation" The
German farmers, at that time felt the
effects severely, Of competition with
the cheaper grown cereals OF the
United states, Argentina, and AUS
tralia. The making OF alcohol for
technical purposes as cheaply as pos
sible saved Germany the profits OF
Teutonlc husbandry Particularly
was It beneficial to those on the east
ern border, where the land is poor but
suitable for the growing De potatoes,
from which much III the commercial
alcohol Is made

A MURDER AT LAKE
BODY OF MAN WAS FOUND NEAR
RACE TRACK.
He Had Been Stabbed in the Back
While Observation-Disclosures Is no Clue
to the Murderers--He Had Been With
Two Companions.

Devils Lake, N. D., Nov. THE find-
ing Of the badly mutilated remains Of
John GEM near the race tracks, sew
eral blocks southwest of town, disclos-
ed the fact that murder was committed
in this city last night.
Shortly after s o'clock a lady resi-
dent of the section of the city named,
in taking q short cut" to neighbor's,
passed through clump of weeds. She
was Mortified when she stumbled upon
the dead body of a man, but at once
gave notification to the police author
ities
Sheriff Mclean and Chief of Police
Hurst accompanied by others, at once
went to the scene. Investigations at
first indicated the possibility of sui
eide, but later and more thorough
inspection of the wounds which were
found upon GEMS body revealed be-
yond the shadow of a doubt that he
was the victim of foul play. He had
been stabbed a number Of times about
the body. twice or thrice in the back,
where It would have been impossible
for him to have made wounds himself
AT this writing there is practically
no clue whatever to the murderer, on
murderers. This much is known, how
ever, that when last seen alive, Mon
day night, GEM was partly intoxicated
and in the company of two or three
strangers who were also drinking.
That he was killed for the purpose of
robbery is altogether improbable for
he was seen borrowing money from one
Of his companions last night
The murdered man was a common
laborer, about 35 years of age, and for
several weeks up till Saturday had
been employed by different farmers
about the county, The remains were
inspected by the coroner. and are now
in holding at the undertaking parlors
of Gilbertson, the funeral director An
inquest win be held probably this aft
ernoon.
The wounds, which marked the
dead mans body. appear to have been
made with hunting knife, and those
in his back were probably responsible
for death. The body and clothing were
q mass Of blood when found.
Whether CAM was murderer at the
point where his body was found or
whether he was killed some place
else and the remains hidden in the
elump of weeds where they were aft
erWards found. is not apparent

Scarcity of Labor.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. Upwards OF
$4,OO0,000 are to be spent on the new
Hartman lines on the North Pacific
coast during the coming winter
months and Chief Engineer Boschl1e OF
the Oregon Navigation is forming the
problem of spending the money, as
there is a great scarcity of labor in
this portion of the country. Notwith-
standing the fact that the climate is
one of the finest in the world, long
service is promised, good pay given
and transportation paid, the coveted
workmen do not appear. In no part OF
the world is the field for labor SO
promising as on the North Pacific
coast.

RENT PAYS FOR LAND
FERTILE SECTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST,
WHERE LAND SELLS FOR SIS AND
RENTS FOR SIS PER ACRE.

One of the most remarkable things
about Eastern Arkansas and Northern
Louisiana Is the fact that cleared land
rents for s. per acre cash, and can be
bought for 81 so To SIS per acre. 1t
costs from So To $40 an acre To clear it.
Other Improvements necessary are
slight and inexpensive.
The soil Is rich alluvial, or made.
1t produces d bssie Of cotton per acre,
worth S45 TO $50 This accounts for
its high rental value. Other crops,
such as corn. small grains, grasses,
vegetables and fruits thrive as we'll.
Alfalfa yields too cuttings, ton
20 cutting, aud brings Sl0 TO sl6 per
ton.
In other sections OF these States,
and in Texas as we'll, the rolling or
hill-land is especially adapted to stock
raising and fruit growing. Land is
very cheap. SIS to $40 per acre; improv-
ed farms $40, Sl5 To S25 per acre.
The new White River country offers
many opportunities for settlers. High
rolling, fine water-it is naturally
adapted to stock and fruit raising.
Can be bought as low as SO per acre.
