BUSY SEASON AHEAD
Jones and Laughlin Plant at Pittsburg
Crowded With Work,

Pittsburg, Sept. 1S.-Notices posted at
the plant Of the Pittsburg Plate Glass
company at Creighton, which has been
closed since June, state that work will
be resumed next Monday. Operations
will also be resumed Monday, at the

idle most of the past year.
The Jones & Laughlip Steel company

payment it is the custom of the clerks
to pour over the accounts for weeks
at time hunting out the mistake.
Some of the clerks tell about the time
when they worked ten days for an
error of six cents.
Another astonishing fact is that the
payment this time to pensioners is
the biggest payment in the history of
the United States pension agency.
No other pension agency in the
United States has ever paid out the
amount OF this quarterly. The pen
sions amounted to $4,463,3OS.61 or
over 100000 more than has ever
been paid out by any other office.
The chief cause of this is the in
crease in pensions made by the gov
eminent not long ago. Those over IS
were raised to $12. Over 20 to SIS.
Over rs to $40. Another cause Of
the big increase was the new ruling
allowing all widows of soldiers a PEN
sion fee.

HOPE TO DEFEAT X. q.
BenIIie Owens Going to Try and
Develop Such an Eleven at Norman.

develop SuCn an Eleven at norman.
Norman, Okla, Sept. 18.-The foot
ball season is near at hand. and the
25th of this month the season in
Oklahoma will be formally opened
when the Sooners of the University
of Oklahoma meet the Central State
Normal eleven at Edmond.
The coach of the Sooners this year,
Bonnie Owens, is expected to arrive
today from Arkansas City. Owens
has recently been appointed general
manager of athletics for the State
university.
The coach's great hope this season
is to develop a team which will de-
feat the Jayhawkers. Never in the
history of the schools did ever VIC
tory go to the Oklaoma school. The
trouble about the game with the
Kansas university is that 1t comes in
the early part OF the season, when
the Sooners are not in the best of
shape. This year the game takes
place at Lawrence, october II, just
month from the opening of the
Oklahoma university.
The schedule of the Sooners Is as
follows: Sept rs, Central State Nor
NAL at Edmond; October 2, A. and
M at saltwater; OCTOBER 9, King
fisher college at Norman; October II,
Kansas university at Lawrence; Octo-
Der 20, Kansas A. and NJ at Man
haitian; October 80, Arkansas uni
versity at Norman; November IA,
Texas university at Norman; Novem-
Der 81, Paramount college at Wich-
tia; Thanksgiving, Washburn at To-
toEa.

condition. Both of last years guards,
Knight and Baldwin, will work for
the success of the scarlet and gray

guished himself last year at center,
will arrive Thursday. Two old play
ers. Bear, a tackle Of '06. and Adams,
a guard of '04, will don the moleskins

is candidate for tackle. Herndon

for place on the team at end or
half.
Cossey, for three years a star half
back on the local high school foot
ball team, is sure of berth with
Drury this season. Mcconnell and
Wetzel, tackle and center for High

A KANSAS CITY FAN.

Hutchinson Gazette: A good story is
going the rounds in the east concern
ing Beals Becker, the youngster with
Wichita last season, who showed the
other teams of the circuit something
new about the hit and run game, and
the reason he didn't stick with Fred
Clark's bunch. Clark, as is we'll known,
reposes great faith in Wagner and
Tommy Leach, in showing the young
sters some inside pointers about the
game. Beals, so the story goes, thought
he had acquired all the knowledge of
inner work, and possessing an extra
ordinary amount of what bad players
call "guts," donned a uniform and COM
menced to kid Honus about his batting
The Flying Dutchman stood 1t for a
time and finally reported that Becker
was impossible. The Wichita wonder
was deported soon afterwards. The
story is somewhat similar to the young
and sportie freshie. who had attained
wonders at the old high school, and
who appeared on the varsity gridiron
for a workout with a cigarette in his
mouth.
