meet the representatives of the State
yember 90, in contest which will de-
eide the championship of the state of
Iowa 1t is the tenth game between
the two institutions, the results of the
previous contests having been as fol-
lows:

1908, no game; 1904, Ames s, Iowa TO-;
1906, Ames 0, Iowa s; 1906, Ames 2,
Iowa 0.
In the nine games played, Ames has
won three and lost five, one game re-
manning unfinished. BY virtue of the
victory last year. Ames secured the un-
disputed championship of the state.
The preliminary contests this season
between other college teams of the
state have settled their claims for pre-
mier honors and the contests have
now narrowed down between Ames and
the state university. The record of both
teams has been exceptionally good this
season. None of the state schools have
given them any trouble, and in the
larger contests with outside institu-
tons, both teams have shown them
selves to be high class.
Belief in the strength Of tire Aggfes
is based on their showing made in

to Minnesota by the score of s to O..

OF the argument and while the Ames
men put up stiff contest they were
plainly outclassed. The game with Ne
braska showed that the two teams were
very evenly matched and the victory of
the Cornhuskers was OF very fluky
kind.
Minnesota has since proved its right
to be classed with the strongest teams
in the west, and while the Gophers

Extension of Rockwell Farmers

Daniel Catalan Secures Pledges to
Amount of $4,000 From About Sixty
Business Men and Farmers of
Doueherty-Farmers Taking Advan-
tase Of Promising Situation.
Special to r,mes-Repuplican.

Rockwell, Nov 1S.--As a result OF
halan, for just five days this week,
the extension of the system OF the
Rockwell Farmers Telephone Com
pany into the town of Dougherty,
twelve miles southeast, is practically
assured. In five days Mr.. Catalan
secured pledges to the amount Of ST.
900 from tifty-eight business men and
farmers Of Dougherty, which insures
the establishment of an exchange.
Tersely stated the efforts Of Mr.. Ca.
halan mean that the system now oper.
ated by the Peoples Mutual at Dough-
erty must either be sold to the farm
ers at reasonable figure or an add.
tional exchange will be established. In
of the Rockwell Farmers Telephone
Company will shortly have free con-
nection with Dougherty as well as
with the farmer lines at Gainesville
and Aredale. The farmers are begin
ming to wake up to the fact that they
control absolutely, the telephone stu
alton Of the county. and they evidently
propose to take advantage of this con-
dition.
1t is understood that the next move
will be to interest the farmers on the
south and west of Rockwell, which
means that Sheffield, Swaledale and
Thornton will doubtless soon join
their neighbors in the cooperative
enterprise. With this leverage it is
believed that the business interests Of
Mason City will not turn deaf ear to
the request for q franchise, and per-
haps demand at least that a reciprocal
exchange system be granted by the
company already there. The farmers
take this ground-that they can get
along without any town that can get
along without them. Something, will
be doing in the telephone business in
Cerro Gordo county before the, robins
nest again.

FINDS WATER IMPURE.
State Chemist Analyses Supply From
Old Iowa Falls Surface Well.

Special to Times Republican
Iowa Falls, Nov. 1s.-The water COM
mittee of the city council is in re-
ceipt of report from State Chemist
Kinney, Of Des Moines, on a sample Of
water taken from the old surface well
formerly used by the city, in which
he says the water is SO filled with or
ganic matter that the water cannot be
recommended for public use. He states
that the water indicates it is receiv-
ing contamination from sewage. This
we'll has not been used by the city for
several years, the city's supply being
taken from two deep wells. The old
well, however, was recently cleaned
out, and it was thought best by the
council to have the water supply an
alyzed before any Of it was pumped
into the city mains. 1t seems that this
precaution was well taken, and the
probabilities are that the supply from
this source will not be used except in
case of expediency, such as pro-
tracted fire or other emergency.

against either Nebraska or Ames, the
showing Is all to the advantage OF
Ames. The work of the Iowa team In
the Wisconsin and Illinois games has
been equally satisfactory, tho both of
these teams are undoubtedly weaker
than Minnesota. The Iowa team is be-
lieved to be stronger than 1t has been
any time in the past five years, and
there is no question but that the Ames
team has shown similar Improvement.
On the record Of the two schools to
date, therefore, the two teams appear
to be very evenly matched.
The makeup of the two teams which
will face each other Saturday will be
changed materially from that OF last
season. on the Iowa team there Will
be four new men in the line, Hastings
at center, Elliott at guard, and Car
berry at end being the only veterans of

knowlton and Kirk played against

in the Ames team from the lineup of
last year. Rutledge at center ana
Law at tackle are new men on the
varsity line while Reppert at end, full
back last season, is playing a new po-
sition for him. The veterans on the
line are McElhenney at end, Brugger
at tackle, Nelson and Thayer at
guards Jeanson and Hubbard, tue
two candidates for the quarterback po-
sition, both played against Iowa last
year. The back field with the exception
of the quarterback, will be composed
of new men, tho all of them were on

bert will play the halves and W1llets
the fullback position. The game will
also be contest between the two new
coaches tho both have had Iowa ex-
perience in that department before the
present season.
a consideration of the points of COM
parison between t!e two teams leads to
the belief that during the first half
Ames will direct it's attack outside of
the Iowa tackles and when this fails
the Aggies will promptly kick. Iowa
will lind great difficulty in running the
Ames ends and will undoubtedly at
tempt to advance the ball by means of
the forward pass Williams is sup
posed to be directing all Of his atten-
ton this week to coaching the men
how to break up this formation. While
each team has it's weaknesses and it's
points of strength, it Is believed that
they are very evenly matched and one
of the most sensational games in the
history of the state is expected.

CULTIVATE GRAcEFuLNEss.

The chief distinction in society be-
tween the attentions of the thor
oughly graceful gentleman. and one
who simply knows the rules. is that
the former pays them without at
tracing notice. A lady hardly real
izes that anything is done for her
she only knows that the gentleman
is agreeable.
Does the young man ask how he
shall cultivate this unconscious grace
fnlness? Some men, the reader says,
have the gift by nature. True-but
with rare exceptions. nature declines
to make her gift available without
culture and care There is but one
way to cultivate the ease OF which
we speak. Never willingly allow an
opportunity to pay graceful atten-
