KING OFFERS SUGGESTIONS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Phil King.
three times quarterback on the ALL
American football team and now an
advisory coach at Princeton, has for
warded his suggestions for changing
the rules of football to the Intercol-
legiate Athletic association as follows:
Play the backs five yards back of
the line of scrimmage Play seven
men on the line of defense at all times
to offset the line of defense spreading
against the formation, and allow the
quarterback to run anywhere with the
ball. In the event that the forward
pass is retained, remove all restric-
tions, allowing passes over the line and
allowing any player to recover the ball
after it has been touched and fun
bled
Arrange one minute rests at the
end of each 10, 20 and 80 minutes per-
iod, giving the captain ample time to
look over his men and note their con-
dition and fitness to remain in the
game No coach or other man con-
nected with a contesting team t. he
allowed on the field in the period of

AENEY LIBEL SUIT

NEW YORK, Dec. 27-The tOrma'
complaint in the libel damage suit
of Francis j. Heney of San Francis
co against William H. Croker, the
California millionaire for $25O,000 was
filed here today.
Mr.. Heney says he bases his action
on an open letter bearing Mr.. Crock
er's name, which appeared in New
York evening newspaper on December
3, in which Mr. Croker defended his
action in first supporting Heney in
the San Francisco graft prosecutions
and later withdrawing his support.
James M. Beck, counsel for Mr. He
ney, said today:
LAS soon as Mr.. Crocker's letter
was published, Mr.. Heney telegraphed
me to bring, this suit. Mr.. Heney who
nearly gave his life to the cause of
exposing corruption in San Francisco,
desires to settle the question as to
whether he conducted the prosecutions
against the San Francisco grafters
in an honorable and legitimate way.
I'm the heat of the great contest
in San Francisco many charges were
made by irresponsible men against
Mr. Heney but when Mr. Croker as
sumed responsibility for these char
ges and gave them wide circulation
in a responsible organ of public OPP

had come to have a jury of his fell

Whether kept for use on the farm or
sold for veal, there is good money IN
growing good calves now. There is
about as good money at present prices
in veal calves as in fat hogs. Where
one has plenty of separator milk the
net profit is larger. The young calf
grows very rapidly and turns nearly
all of its feed into meat and weight,
so give it about all it will eat two or
three times a day and within few
weeks it will be ready to turn into
ready cash.
The quieter and more comfortable
a Young animal can be kept, with good
feed. the faster it will grow. Calves
like to lie and sleep in a warm, sunny
place BY providing them with such
quarters they will sleep and turn their
feeds to more profit than when con-
fined in cold and uncomfortable quar-
tiers.
