HOW MANY CENTS IN 8USREL?
That Is Question Asked Treasury De-
-artnen+ by Pjttsburu Man.

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a Pitts
burg man has put new one up to
the Treasury Department. The an
5wer may not add materially to the
.otal Of useful knowledge but it will
be sure, as nj the case of other fool
things, to excite the usual human
curiosity until it is forthcoming
Here's the question:
How many cents are there in
bushel?"
The mint bureau has many queer
questions asked ii. This bureau
works month in and month out on
lrithmetical problems dealing with
the gold and silver supply OF the
world, and hard problems in figures
are not rare by any means. But
never before was the bureau called
upon to tell how many cents there
are in bushe!.
The Pittsburg man who want an
answer to this question will be told
that the government and its mint
bureaus, although handling large
sums of money have never gotten
into the habit of measuring coins by
,he bushel, half bushel, peck or quart.
Until it does so it will be able to
answer questions of this kind.
Mint bureau officials will not under
take to guess concerning the number
of cents in a bushel. Roughly guess
ing, however, one of the clerks said
the total number of coins would prob
ably be something like $4,000, or 1920
worth.

DRIVER is PESSIMISTIC.
Former Missouri End Takes a Knock
at This Years Material.

William Lloyd Driver, athletic di-
rector of the Central High School in
Kansas City, who played left end on
the University of Missouri football
team for three years, is of the opinion
that the Tiger eleven will have to
improve wonderfully if the odd gold
iron Thanksgiving Day.
"Missouri's showing against Mon
mouth last week was as good as l
expected" said Driver to the Kansas
City Star. The Illinois eleven was
heavier than the Tiger aggregation,
bit rot nearly as fast Monmouth
held the University of Illinois to a
10 to 6 score last year, and you see
Missouri's showing is not so bad after
with the eleven which wore the colors
of the gold and black last year.
Il hope Missouri defeats Kansas
Thanksgiving Day, but am afraid
the chances are slim. Kansas has
better material this fail for winning
team than it has had for the last
three years. All OF the crack fresh
men players OF last years team are
members OF the varsity eleven this
fall. The Jayhawkers are heavier
than the Tigers and just as fast.
Coach Roper may develop an eleven
down on Rollins Field before the big
turkey game that will give Kansas a
hard game, but he will have TO build
up team out OF green material.

Many business men of Columbia take

to attend the games but have, in the
past, found it impracticable to do So

then, to schedule one game this sea
