Each team will have the advantage
of the wind the same length of time.
Friday, Cornell and Simpson will
meet at Indianola in game which
should be an easy victory for the
Cornell team. After their brilliant
showing against Drake, and the pitch
to which they have worked themselves
for that game, Simpson Is certain OF
a gigantic reaction and Cornell will
benefit by the result Last year Simp-
son was easy for Cornell at Mount
Vernon and it is doubtful il the re
suit will be otherwise in this meeting,
coming as it does six days after the
Simpson meeting with Drake while
Cornell has had two weeks to pre-
pare for the event Simpson will
also have to fight the determination
of the Mount Vernon school to make
as good a showing as possible against
all their opponents, as a method of com.
parison against the teams they do not
meet.
The other game of the week also
has large amount of tradition cling
ing to it, Des Moines and Penn col.
lege having been the participants in
hard fought and close battles for
years. This game will also be played
on Friday.

Printers and Society.

A new form of small postal cards
for the convenience of the printer has
been issued by the government. This
postal card Is known as the new NO.

twenty four cards, the sheet
being four cards wide and six deep.
The sheets are in packages of 5000
each. By cutting the cards in this
way the printer is enabled by setting
up his printed matter twenty-four
times, to print twenty-four cards at
one time, instead of one as has been
the way heretofore. 1t greatly facili-
tates the printing of the cards. After
they are printed the cards are cut
a new 1-cent domestic reply card

The portrait OF General Washington
is the subject for the MESSAGE card
and the portrait Of Mrs Washington
is on the reply card Small capital
letters are employed in DESIGNATING
the names of the persons in the
portraits, the words Washington and

This week will see two of the big
gest football games in the state of
Iowa for the year. Drake will meet
Grinnell at the Stadium in the ira
ditional fight between the Bulldogs
and the Scarlet and Black, a meeting
which looms larger with the playing
of each game. Iowa will meet Ames
in the battle to decide the supremacy
of the two teams This meeting will
be staged at Anes.
Grinnell has been the surprise Of
Iowa football this year. With team
which every team whom they met last
year defeated. the Congregationalists,
with little added strength, have come
back and made a far pe,cer showing
thus far than the last years state
champions. Drake humbled Coe %;
Grinnell made it % Drake just
scratched a victory over Simpson 3
to o. Grinnell swamped the same
team 90 TO 5. making three touch
downs and forcing them back to their
goal line for a safety. cedar Rapids
experts who watched the Grinnell
team play there against Coe give
Sherman and Beers credit for being
two of the greatest Stars the team
ever had, while Shinstrum and Ham
mond have added very materially to
the work of the team. Grinnell alum
nj are disposed to give the greater
amount Of the credit for the change
in the team to Coach Arthur Brown,
who took charge of the squad at the
beginning of the year.
The meeting between Drake and
Grinnell will probably pc one of the
most brilliant battles of the year.
Drake has no excuse to offer for
their showing of Saturday. but it is
probable that individ,.-. PLAYERS will
show better the next time they are
allowed in the game than they did
Saturday Grinnell will play the kick
ing game to Che limit. after the ex-
hibition Drake gave Saturday. and
all this will go to make up the stag
ing for one of the bes. games of the
year.
While large amount of the inter
est in the Ames-Iowa game was taken
out of the battle by the untimely de-
feat of the Ames team by Morning
side last Saturday, the two schools
will think of nothing else this week
and the two teams haze had their
thoughts centered in this game for
the last month. Before the Saturday
game the result seemec 20 be toss

Nothing was accomplished at the
meeting of the bowling association
last night, several club members be-
ing unable to attend the meeting on
account of other business matters. A
meeting has been set for Friday night.
An effort viii be made to start the
season on next Monday, although it
will necessitate some skirmishing on
the part of club captains.
Owner Charley Somers of the Maps
has signed every one of his players
for next year. Some of the men, Lar
~, Stovall, Turner and others have
contracts which have not expired.
The others have signed, so the list is
complete. Contracts are usually sign
ed later in the year. but the talk of a
third league has made the American
league owners hustle for contracts.
There is little likelihood of another
match between Champion Frank Gotch
and Zybysko. who has recently direct
ed another challenge to the Iowa
wrestler. Gotch practically became
champion in 1905, when he defeated
Tom jenkins, who was then consider
ed the best in the country, and de-
feated them all. His greatest match
was with George Hackenschmidt the
Russian Lion, who he won from in
Chicago in 1908 This match was ar

prepare our corn and cotton land
thoroughly before we plant; then
cultivate all summer to conserve
moisture and discourage weed

are turned loose to sap what mois-

The subjoned letter froin the
pen of Capt. f. T. King of New
iberia appeared in the Sugar
Planters Journal of date, July
I25th:
see in recent issue OF your
paper an article on Checking
the Atchafalaya,'' which ] was
much interested in reading aad
while evidently written by a man
of ability, l fail to agree with
the writer in the statements AMI
differences made by hlm. For IN
stance. he states that the floods
of the Mississippi river created by
the clearing of the lands of the
delta aud their drainage has caus-
ed a rise in flood height OF the
river of from four to five fest
above what they were in 1874, or
thicty-six years ago, and that this
has. fed to building the leyees that
much higher. Now | have Stats
ties of the floods Of the Missis-
sippi river for nearly one hundred
years back and can prove by them
that the floods of the great river
were just as high previous to 1874
as they have been since at Nat
chez, vicksburg and above. |
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1910-08-06

am willing to admit that the
floods are precipitat"d on us more
! rapidlv by the dra mage OF the
|country. but at the same time
they drain off more rapidly and in
the end they amount to about the
same.
Previous to our civil war and
|up to the establishment Of our
present levee system, the levees
were built and kept up by the
planters and those living behind
them and were built. many of
them. just high enough to keep
out ordinary floods The conSe-
quence was that we had numer-
our crevasseS whenever we had a
great flood. but now. with a bet
ter system. we have adopted reg
ulationS requiring that the levces
be built at least four feet above
| tho highest floods known. and
Major Kerr in his report shows
that most Of our levees from the
Red river down are now built 10
that height and some of them from
one to two feet higher. MAJOR
Kerr states that there are only
one or two places where the
levees are only two feet above the
highest water mark until you get
down on the lower reaches of the
| levee system and even there they
are from one to two feet above
| the high water mark. and he says
| further that they will soon be able
| to bring them all up to the re-
Iouired four feet above the highest
water mark known. THIS ac-
counts for the levees being built
higher and stronger than ever be
fore. instead of it being because of
1.-THE increase in height of the flo9d
mark.
Again. your writer says that
fine floods at New Orleans are
from four to five feet higher than
they were in 1874, and | ask how
can this be so when the Atchafa-
| lava outlet was in existence at
| that time and discharging 20 per
cent. of the flood waters Of the
mississippi? Why is it, | again
repeat. with such an immense out
| let that the flood height of the
river was raised from four to five
feet below the outletg If the out
| let does not lower the flood height

ROAD TO HAPPINESS.

1t is not easy to get out into
the larger life, but it is unques-
tionable harder to stay in the mar
row circle Of your own drudgery
until you are overwhelmed by its
monotony. Women ought to be
happy and dispense good cheer,
bit they cannot do thss unless
fresh streams of life are coming
into their daily experiences. and
these do not flow unless chan
nels are specially prepared for
them. Open all the old avenues
for happiness, get out OF ruts OF
years, live in sunshine, in the lives
of your friends, in the great world
of human interest. Stretch out
earnest hands for bigger blessings
than sou now have, and they will
be filled. The only sure way. TO
keep this bigger life is to give as
yon receive it.-Ex.
