STAY AT HOME is THE ADVICE.
OF DISILLUSIONED YOUNG MAN
WHO ANSWERED CALL OF WEST
On Pacific Slope Are $4,000 Idle I'm
employed Who Have Recently
Gone There From the East.

Gone There From the East.
While it is a fact that the great
west is land all sunshine, gold
mines, alfalfa fields and rich harvests
there is another side of the story
so to speak, which has been purpose
ly omitted. "On to Oregon" or Ne
vada, as the case may be, is the cry
of many young and hopeful man
who later on has looked upon the
glorious Pacific slope hungry and
penniless and has been only too glad
to retrace his journey to the ''slow
old east" 1T is true" says young
resident of the 'slow" but prosper
Gus and comfortable middle west,
who has lately been disillusioned re-
garding western opportunities, that
there have been many opportunities
in the west and further on into the
northwest, especially when land was
cheap, but the prices are now I'M
reasonable and the cost of acreage
places it beyond investment by the
ordinary homeseeker. Real estate
agents are as numerous as merchants
or farmers, and it is almost impos-
sible to meet any one, man or wo-
man, who is not interested, directly
or indirectly, with the sale of prop
erty. Gold bricks are for sale in
almost every shop and office, and
as one old man put it many an
easterner has been nightly tleeced
in his first business venture in the
west.
Everything is for sale west of the
Rockies. The owner puts the price
up and the agent doubles it, and the
easterner, in the mad rush to get
something from the boom, wades
into deep water and usually browns,
1.-THE craze over fruit land seems
to be caused by the unexpected over
production of a few orchards and the
unsatisfied hunger for fruit by the
old settlers. There is some good
fruit grown there, but it requires
time and large capital to hold out
for crops.
"The wheat lands are immense
and quite productive, but the sue
cessful wheat grower needs large
tract of land a small fortune to run
his farm successfully and make the
gains often quoted as Illustrations.
There are more than $4,000 idle
unemployed along the Pacific coast
from Los Angeles to Seattle, and
more than one-half of these have
lately come from the east.
THE climate for warmth and
moderate temperature all the year
round has been one Of the best and
strongest arguments for the settle
ment of the Pacific states. Never
theless, there are about as many I'M
pleasant features and hindrances.
Almost everyone raves about the
roses in bloom the whole year
around. but there are thorns among
the roses, such as are not known to
the east.
Young man, if you have a home
or dad will divide the farm with
you or assist you to earn a neigh
boris farm stay where you are in
the east Better be humble citl-
zen of your home state than Jonah
in the west.

County School Letter.

1t is very encouraging to note
the steady Improvement from year
to year that is noticeable in the
work of many of the teachers of
the county. 1t is evidence of both
an earnest interest and desire to
improve.
The grounds and buildings of the
Daisy Valley school present an all
most model appearance.
The interior of this school is, al
so, one of the neatest, most home-
like, and best equipped schools that
1T is our pleasure to visit. Miss
Katherine Daub who has charge of
this school is doing very good work.
The average school tax paid by
the rural school districts of the
county is 4 mills on the dollar.
The average school tax paid by the
town districts Of the county is is
mills. 1t will be seen from this
that the rural schools can greatly
improve their equipment and eff
cheney and still be paying a lower
school tax than the towns.
Is the country child not entitled
to as good a teacher and equipment
as the town child?
Give the country child better ad-
yantages at home and he will have
less desire to get away from the
farm. When he sees that as a far
mer's child he has as good or bet
ter advantages than the town child.
he will lose his great longing to
move to town.

PHILADELPHIA OCT. determination
Of the injuries sustained by Quarterback
Charles Keinath of the University OF Pen

game against Bucknell recently show that
they were more serious than was at first
believed to be the case. 1t has developed

probable that he will be unable to take
any active part in the game again this
fall. or at any rate until the season is
well advanced.
Keinath was injured while in the act OF
catching a punt. He was tackled and
thrown hard, a crowd of the Bucknell
players piling on him. Although he was
hardly able TO stand when he did come
around. he continued to play for a short
time. but eventually collapsed. II was not
until the doctors at the university hospital
made q thorough examination OF his in
juries that they found them to be Of such
a serious nature. His loss TO the Quaker
team is a heavy one. The Bucknen players
are being roundly denounced for needless

A ring was soon pitched in the center Of

thugs and rowdies, 500 strong, arrived. 1t
was the toughest crowd ever seen at a ring
side, and when the sheriff and his hayseed
deputies appeared and ordered the proceed

The sheriff and his posse soon beat a re-

TIGERS TAKE IowA's MEASURE
Fifteen to Ten in Favor Of MIssour,
University.

Fifteen to Ten in Favor of Missouri
University.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, Oct, 1L~--(Special Tele-
gram.)-Missouri defeated Iowa here today,
10 to 10, scoring the winning touchdown on
an eight-yard run by Alexander, who
blocked an attempted drop kick by Kirk
in the closing minutes of the first half.
Iowa scored first, gaining the ball on a
tumble and carrying it over the line in
twenty-three minut of play. Bluck made
a beautiful place kick from the ~forty-yard
line for Missouris first score. Missourfs
game defense in the second half was the
feature of the closing minutes of play. The
Hawkeyes early in the half carried the ball
into Tiger territory. Brilliant forward
passes by Carberry to Hyland, Perrine and
Fee were repeatedly good for gains of
from fifteen to twenty yards, but as soon
as the teams were within the twenty-five
yard line the defense of the gritty Tiger
eleven would brace and Alexander booted
the ball out of danger. Captain Kirk Of
Iowa was kept out of the game in the
second half and the many opportunities for
drop and place kicks awaited nothing.
Missouri's line, despite the loss Of the
three stars, Captain Miller, Carothers and
Anderson. was proof against the onslaughts
of the Hawkeye backs, but Missouri could
not solve the open style of foot ball. Iowa
came dangerously near to scoring in the
lGst minute of play when Mcdonald, sub
stituted at fullback, after catching a punt
booted the ball over the Missouri players
heads. A lucky plunge by a Tiger back
saved a touchdown, which would have re-
suited in either a tie game or a victory
for the old gold.
Heat laid out the players time after time.
Iowa seemed in better condition. The
charging of the Missouri line was magnifi-
cent. The ends, Driver and Gilchrist, played
a beautiful defensive game, piling up the
Iowa plays continually. Driver was ruled
out later in the game for smuggling, the play
otherwise being clean. Bluck was the main
stay of the line. Many claimed hat Iowa
was ov%erconfident and this accounted for
the ~listless play. injuries to Captain Kirk
| shook the faith of the Hawkeye players
and took the heart out of them. The sub
~stitutes did fairly well, the work of Fee in
Captain Kinks shoes being a feature.
Early in the first half the game. resolved
itself into a punting duel, with the advant-
age in favor of the team at the west goal
N account of a stiff breeze which sweep
