GREATEST GAME
OF THE SEASON
MlNNESoTA-MIcHlGAN sTRUG.
GLE AT ANN ARBOR NEXT
SATURDAY WILL BE OF
DEEP INTEREST.

Not since 1899. when Wisconsin
trimmed Michigan and Minnesota, and
Chicago tied Pennsylvania. defeated
Cornell and Brown and Mir nesota. and
then arranged a post seasoi. game with
the Madison aggregation. has there
been the tremendous amou at of inter-
est centered in a western contest that
is manifested in the game scheduled
for Saturday between Michigan and
Minnesota at Ann Arbor.
Both elevens have clean records,
and the winner will have undisputed
claim to the title. Their will be moth
ing clouded or uncertain. Not only
will the winner be the champion Of the
West, but it will also stand high in the
rating of teams over the country.
From various angles the outcome
looks uncertain and the chances about
even for both teams That fact is
stimulating interest. Not only the
eyes OF the West but also the eyes of
the East will be conferred on the out
erican material i'm both of these west
ern elevens, and the critics who with
naughty disregard have in the past
turned cold and unfceling eye TO the
West will be compelled To pay re-
spectfu attention to the progress OF
play.

DOGS TO Be TAXED
FOB BENEFIT OF FARMERS WHO
WILL ENGAGE IN SHEEP
RAISING.

The house tied can to old Towser s
taa Tuesday, when it passed bill put
ting tax on all dogs at the discre-
tion Of the boards of supervisors of
the various eounties of the state. But
it remains for the senate to tie the
last knot In the string that will make
the dog law a fact.
There was opposition 20 the bin and
there was time when it was political
suicide for man to even introduce
such a measure in the Missi sissippi legis-
lature, but sheep raising IS becoming g
leading industry in the state, AMI
sheep raisers want protection, while
the farmers whose crops are being de-
vastated by insects of various kinds
think, that to eliminate the stray dog,
would increase the notwithstanding
birds, thereby giving them greater
protection.
This bill came from the ways and
means committee, and will prove a
good source of revenue for the schools
as the funds are to be turned into the
county treasury for educational pur,I
poses.
The house was IN good working mood
and much business was transact
ed. When the routine was disposed
of, revenue bills were taken up for one
hour, after whach appropriation bills
were taken up. The first appropriation
was that of the department of archives
and history and Mississippi histori-
cal society, with provision to increase
the salary Of the director of the de-
partment of archives and history. This
bill failed to receive constitutions
majority last Friday, and came up on
q motion 10 reconsider. The bill was
finally passed.
The senate after spending some time
discussing che privilege tax bill, finally
passed the Measure, then took up the
county. attorney bill for concurrence IN
the house amendments. The bill pas
sei the senate several weeks ago, and
was finally passed by the house last
vaek with few committee amend
menrs, and fight was made by Sena,
tor Owen and Others against these
amendments. but the senate finally
concurred in the house amendments
and the bill sent to the governor Tor
his approval.
