shape of a handsome pork barrel"

The law in question is chapter $50.

The Duea law was passed at the
last session of the legislature, and is
supposed to answer the complaint
made in farming communities, that,
although the farmer spent money in
the saloons OF his neighboring towns.
the rural districts never received any
benefit from the liquor license money
of which his expenditures were part.

more valuable return in the shape of

Marshall county will receive about
$1,000. from the 10 per cent levy on
saloon license money collected within

FOOTBALL REFORM AT YALE.
No Sign of Football RevOlutiOn-Be.
gins With Faculty.

Yale is out for all the football re-
form that is possible. What Yale will
recommend in football changes the
coming winter will probably include
requiring 8 yards in downs to be
made, except when the 15-yard line
of an opponent is reached. Here five
yards in three downs will be all that
is necessary. This will make scores
by touchdowns through the line pos
sible when an opponents 15-yard line
is reached, and it will also open up
the game for punting and a variety
of plays between the 15-yard lines.
Possession of the ball will count for
little, and it will change hands often
and the spectators will see open play
continuously.
Yale wants to see the catcher of
forward passes and the taker of on
side kicks protected, and these de-
tails of safer football will be fav-
ored by Walter Camp, Yale's repre-
sentative at the Rules Committee
meetings.
There are no signs of football reyo-
luton at Yale. such as occurred three
years ago, when the Faculty took
matters into its own hands and re-
Football reform at Yale this win
ter will, however, begin with the
Faculty, That body will discuss the
changes desired in football and in
athletics generally and confer with the
Athletic Committee about seeing that
they are put into effect.

WEEKS MARKET REPORT.
Prosperity Ahead Is Believed TO be
Unexampled.

Speculative confidence appears to
be gradually returning after the yari-
Gus miner upsets encountered of late.
1t is more generally felt that the
foundations of the market structure
have not been in the least impaired,
but rather have been strengthened,
and that the net result of the reac-
tions, inGuced by such episodes as the
Standard Oil decision, the Sugar scan
dal and the fear of politics, has been
to solidify the technical position
Recently the speculative impulse
has evidently been under repression
1t has been the motive of the large
banking interests to keep stock mar
ket activity within very reasonable
bounds while any possibility of mis-
chance persisted regarding the posi-
tion of money. Even those interests
committed by tactical reasons to the
long side of leading issues have pur-
sued temporary policy of inactivity.
leaving the bearishly inclined opera
tors free to do their utmost.
The occasions for restraint in spec
ulation now seem to be rapidly dim
inishing That the outcome will, how
ever, be any violent upward move
ment is rather too large an expecta-
ton. The conduct of operations will
doubtless be marked by the same
power and steadiness that have been
shown for the past eighteen months;
there is wisdom In accustoining the
market thoroughly to each successive
ly high level.
Despite the fact that prices today
seem rather high by comparison with
other epochs, the argument Is plaus-
IDLY made that they are quite war
ranted by entirely new conditions
The prosperity ahead is believed to
be unexampled; If SO, current prices
are in reality low. The steady pro-
gress of Industrial recovery now un-
der way would seem to corroborate
this point of view and to strengthen
the theory that the market Is almost
an impregnably safe purchase on ev-
cry reaction

STATUS Of WOMEN
PAST AND FUTURE
Development of Mod
ern Family Life
Woman VIII Seme Da, Have Full
Political Rights.

Prof. r. J. Sprague gave the last of
his lectures in the general lecture
course at the university Wednesday
The Status of Woman In Ancient an
Modern Times was the title of the las
lecture and the attendance WAS large
as 1t has been through the whole
series
The professor began by naming
some important differences between
men and women. Men use up and Of
ten waste energy and tend to wear
out their lives in over exertion. Wo-
men conserve energy and hold II in
reserve. Men are liberal and sportive
while women are conservative. Men
have greater extremes of development
than women. more of them are born
geniuses and more are idiots than is
the case with women. Women are
neaer the racial type and more rarely
depart from the average standard.
Man becomes insane more than wo-
man and has more peculiar develop
mems generally. There are six per
cent more males born than of fe-
males, but women live longer on the
average and there are more very old
females than males. Men yield to
nearly all kinds of disease more read
lily than women.
In general, men are more special
lied than women and seem to get out
of order more easily. Men are more
intellectual and women are more emo
tional. Women have a deeper grasp
on the eternal, spiritual heart of the
world, more faith and stronger hold
on life through religion. Men suicide
more than women because they can
not stand disappointment so well and
do not have faith in God and His
world.
TYPES OF THE HUMAN FAMILY
l. Loose monogamy. In the ami
NAL world there are all forms of the
family from exclusive monogamy to
polygamy and the herd. There is,
however, no unnatural inferiority of
one sex, although there are great diff
fenes in habits and abilities. Mono
gamy has always been the dominating
type of the family among men, but
the primitive man practised a loose
form of 1t with variations according
to the manner of getting food.
The matriarchal family was the
next to follow primitive monogamy.
Under this type the male was a rowing
hunter and warrior while the mother
cared for the children and supplied
the hut or cave with necessities. She
was the permanent food supply, guar
dian and social center. She taught
the children the customs, language,
traditions and religion. The children
took her name and belonged to her
clan. The father returned occasion
ally to her home and lived with her.
