get as any kick l have ever seen.
Anderson had strong wind at his
back, and the ball sailed high. 1t
looked as If it would sail over Pages
head, but when it got close to him it
began to float Page, seeing it would
fall short, tore after it on the dead

Taking everything into considera-
ton, Page has made fewer mistakes

The season was one of the most dis
astrous in many year for Princeton,
and a great deal was done to destroy
the prestige of Old Nassau on the
gridiron.
To start the year with, the Orange
and Black had a squad of experienced
! men, which was considered by many
oil Tiger players to be the best nu-
cleus In the Jersey town in a decade
or more. AS the schedule advanced
there was no show of great ability in
the team, and 1t was decided, dis
appointment in practically every con-
test.
There have been various reasons as
signed for the failure of such good
material to develop into championship
caliber. Thsre are many Princeton
adherents who attribute it to the
coaching system. Another rumor is
that there was internal dissension in
the Tiger eleven this year. More than
one graduate of Old Nassau said he
thought the team would not pull to-

Want Drafting Rule for Umpires.

Some of the smaller league mag
mates are kicking again over the Gus
tom of the more important circuits in
taking umpires without paying any
thing for the process. The little fell
lows want a drafting rule, by which
they can get some money out of an
arbitrator when he goes into faster
company. When an umpire is all right
he is worth something to any league,
but some of them hold their jobs for
so short a time the league presidents
have a hard time keeping track of the
men who are likely to be drafted.

WAGNER IS THE KING
DECLARES JOE TINKER
CUES sHoRTsToP PLACES THE
PITTSBURGER ON HIS ALL.
AMERICAN TEAM.

Joe Tinker, shortstop of the Chi
cago Cubs was editor for one day of a
paper in Butte, Mont, recently, and
had some interesting things to say
about baseball and the players.
Most interesting Of all the several
stories which not only bear Joe's sig
nature. but the earmarks of genuine
ness, is that in which he picked an
All-American baseball team and justi-
fed every selection by practical in
stead of theoretical arguments. Here
Is the team picked by Tinker:
Cobb, right field.
Speaker, center field.
Clarke, left field.
Chance, first base.
Evers, second base.
Wagner, shortstop.
Lord, third base.
Gibson and Archer, catchers.
Brown, Mathewson, Walsh, Overall
and Adams, pitchers.
After discussing the merits of the
others Joe, who is shortstop of the
first water himself, says this about
Wagner:
Nov we come to the greatest ball
player who ever stepped on to the
diamond. There is no one to compare
with Wagner. He is beyond anything
that ever attempted the game. He is
the grandest all-'round ball player in
the business. He is the greatest hit
ter of them all, fields wonderfully and
is one of the brightest stars on the
bases. He is not a player who is a
sensation one year and then fails to

After corn has been pulled for
hours or days it undergoes slight fer
mentation and flavor, if not digestl-
bility, is injured. Pulled and put into
large barrels or bulk, it becomes hot
and may be ruined. Experts look at
an ear of corn and tell all about it, but

caster Nov. IS, '09.
The Herald presents herewith GER
tain salient points in the address de
livered by Rural School Inspector
W. e. Larson at the County School
Board Convention held in Lancaster
week ago.
Mr.. Larson's topic was 'The Rela-
tion of Education to the Development
of the State. - The address was full
of good practical thoughts but for
lack of space we are unable to publish
it in its entirety:
Members of the School Boards of
Grant County The relation Of edu-
cation to the development of the state
is our subject this morning. What
is this education for2 That is the
first thing. What is education ? is
another thought.
Now by developing state, or
developing community is meant
what Briefly stated. it is this: TAX
ing the land that produces nothing
for man, ard making it produce just
as much as it possibly can.
That is one phase of development
and 1 want to cite just one instance.
knew of a good German farmer in
our county, one who knew how to
farm and was not afraid to work.
He had a good farm and was max
ing money.
He hal two sons; one was grown
up and would also have made a good
farmer; no question about that.
Some how or other this young man
conceived the idea that there was
something to farming he did not
exactly understand, SO he went to
Madison and took the short course.
He spent two winters there He
| did not come back from school an
educated farmer; he did not know
all there was about farming.
But he had learned something about
few things. He had gotten
vague idea that COW is sort of
manufacturing establishment taking
in Jaw material and converting it
into the finished product, milk; and
that the more milk we get the
more profit there is. He also
learned that some cows are better
milk factories than others; that some
never pay for their keeping.
He said to his father after his ar
rival home, I'VE are not get
ting all out of those cows that we
can" The father said, II think you
are right. They started chang
ing the food giving the cows a
little more of this, a little less of
that etc. They began to deal
with each individual COW and
find out how much profit they we're
getting.
That was seven or eight years ago
and today they have one of the best
developed farms in the country.
That means; there is more gotten out
Of the soil than from any other 100
acres that know of.
That is what is called development.
TO develop farm, TO de-
velop a community, to develop d
state means to get out of that COM
munity. farm or state all that the
land will produce. But sometimes,
in getting all we can out of some
thing, we rob it. We must not dc
that. We have no right to rob our
children.

The other day in Baraboo l was
talking with a man who was born In
Germany and he said in his native
country near where he lived they are
raising bushel of oats on square
rod. Why, we would almost
think that impossible and yet.
1 believe we can do it in Wiscon-
sin, but we have to study it. l
have seen SO much Of the develop
ment of the land that l believe
almost anything possible.
What we want to do is to get just
as much out of Wisconsin as we pos
sibly can and yet leave the state in
good condition for our children.
We have in Wisconsin two
and one fourth million people.
Since 1870 our population hes
doubled Germany is four times the
size of Wisconsin and think Germany
has sixty million people. That means
that in Wisconsin we ought to have
about fifteen million and in time we
are going to have them. We
will then have to get more out of our
land than at present and if we have
to do it, what is the wayH
We have to study, we have to learn
certain things.
We have to look into the future.
We are not living for Ourselves alone
We ara living for the children and
we have to give our children that kind
of training, so that when they take
our places they will be able to reap
the profits.
I am speaking especially of the
young men of today, those who have
children of their own, those who have
the future in charge. They are the
ones we have to stir up. They
must look after the schools.
