FOOTBALL is HERE TO STAY
Comment Made By President Northror
of the State University.

Minneapolis, Nov 2O.-There is nc
danger of football being abandoned at
the University Of Minnesota, according
to President Cyrus Northrop, in spite
of the fact that from Washington
comes report that some congressman
are anxious to legislate the game out
of all institutions of learning receiving
federal aid. The Washington report
says that football is considerd danger
Gus to serious degree, and the desire
to eliminate it from institutions re.
ceiving federal aid is prompted partly
by the general list of casualties re-
ported this season, but chiefly by the
death of a West Point player The
University of Minnesota would come
in this class, because of federal aid
received in the agricultural depart
ment.
"Such law would affect us, OF
course" said President Northrop, ri
it were passed, but there is not the
slightest danger of it's being passed.
Personally, you believe in football p
Certainly. It's a fine game"
"But it has it's dangers?'
"Of course. In all athletic games
there is an element of risk But there
is danger in ordinary affairs through
life. A man can hardly 90 out into
the street without encountering dan.
gers"
''Do you think, in view of casual
ties this year, that there may be rules
for that modification of the game?"
"That." said President Northrop, ''is
a question to be taken up by the
general athletic authorities. I believe
that football should always be safe
guarded as far as possible, but it is
not conclusive, because there have
been accidents, that the present rules
ere too liberal. We in Minnesota have
never had any serious accidents. Small
mishaps are to be expected in any
M MY sport"
Then you believe that football in
Minnesota is in no danger from threat
ened legisl"+;on :"
81 go cinly do. There = no danger
of such law being PASSED"

of children, only would like for one to
be ten or twelve years old, so they
could milk two or three cows. We
only milk one now, but with that
much family we would have to have
more milk and butter. So give one of
them chance for good home. We
have an eight-room house; the dining
room is IA by 20. So we would get
along fine.

WAITING FOR THE BUGLE.

We wait for the bugle; the night
dews are cold, 3sff
The limbs of the soldiers feel faded
and old;
The field of our bivouac is windy and
bare,
There is lead in our joints, there is
frost in our hair;
The future is yelled and it's fortunes
unknown
As we lie with hushed breath till the
bugle has blown.
At the sound of the bugle each com
rade shall spring
Like an arrow released from tine
strain of the, string;
The courage, the impulse of youth
shall come back
To Danish the chill of the drear biv-
ouac;
And sorrows and losses and cares
fade away
When that life giving signal proclaims
the new day.
Though the bivouac of age may put
ice in our veins,
And no fiber of steel in our sinews
remains,
Though the comrades of yesterdays
march are not here,
And the sunlight seems pale and the
branches are sere,
Though the sound of our cheering dies
down to moan
We shall find our lost youth when the
bugle is blown.

WOMAN CAN TALK
IN FTFTY-FOUR TONGUES

Chicago.-Willlam F. Curtis, writ
ing for the Record-Herald, says:
Miss Elizabeth s. Cotton, a very
agreeable and graceful citizen of West
Hampton. Mass, has a great advan-
tage over the rest of her sex because
she can express her thoughts in "a
different languages, while the most
of them have to get along the best
they can with one. Probably only one
other woman in America at least, ap-
proaches Miss Cotton as a linguist,
and that is Miss Mary Montgomery,
daughter of a Presbyterian. mission
ary in Turkey, who astonished the
faculty of the university of Berlin by
her linguistic accomplishments and
is now editing a dictionary of orien-
tai languages in New York
miss Cotton has studied the live
and dead languages at various schools
on three continents and has recently
returned from stay of year and a
half in India"

Chicago, Nov. 27-Further liquida-
ton in December wheat today carried
the price momentarily to the same
figure as for May delivery, but the
lack of demand for the latter was
one of the reasons why it did not re-
main there. The December premium
however, was at no time over 1-2c.
Commission houses have been absorb
ing the December on scattered or
ders that look like the evening OF
former spreads by elevator interests.
Trade was moderate in volume the
early free and fairly good general Ii
quotation of December.
There was much pressure on De-
cember corn today. This month was
relatively weakest because of its near
approach and the prospect of cold
wave to help receipts next week. All
futures closed little easier than yes
terday.
Oats showed more than the ordi-
nary amount of interest and there
was some fairly important extension
of the demand for scattered sources
There was the usual week end liqui-
dation by various interests, princi-
pally longs.
Provision trade was sharply high
er with shorts buying the January
and reselling for May and longs do
ing the reverse. The days hog re-
ceipts were only little short of last
years

Advance of 30c bushel in the price
of flour, making a total rise of 90c
within 10 days, has aided <he up
ward movement of wheat. No change
was made in export flour values for
the reason that the price is already so
high that the orient is not in a posi-
ton to buy. This accounts for the
record breaking differential between
export and patent flour.
