POTATO CROP is GOOD
Northern Wisconsin is Pro-
ducing a Bumper Crop
Quality of the Best---Straw-
berries in October.

The crop of potatoes in north
ern Wisconsin, especially Villas
county is a good one, producing
more bushels than was expected
earlier in the season. Many Of
the growers claimed the crop
would be short on account Of
the extreme dry season, but in
this they were off.
While the crop in the central
and southern part of the state
was drying up, that in this sec
tion was humping right along
and we have the goods to show.
To illustrate the adaptabilitv
of soil III this section for pota-
toes, it is vouched for that Theo.
Christianson, a farmer near Con
over, raised from SO bushels of
seed on 234 acres. 657 bushels
of fine potatoes of the Million
Dollar" variety Other farmers
have produced just as good a
crop as is shown by the display
in the Villas County News office
window.
You can also tal& about succu-
lent rutabagas, winter radishes,
beets and so forth, but August
Steffen Of Conover takes the
prize on cowhorn turnips, hav-
ing harvested a carload off
small patch
Some also claim that nothing
will grow upon Villas county
land the first year. The pota-
toes grown by Messrs. Simmons
and Sanborn on their new farm
on Big Bass Lake are prize win
ners.
Strawberries in October in
Wisconsin sounds odd, but it's
the truth. Several report and
show the ripe berries) a fair
second crop and they are of a
good size and just as luscious as
those picked IN the first crop.
Show us something that will
not grow in this section and we
will show YOU fricasseed snow
balls. In the meantime put on
display in the News window
samples of your farms product
iveness. Those who have taken

were the villains of sea romance, and
they are gone, or going, with the sail
ing craft they lived in.
Chief among them in their genera
tions was the boarding master of sail
ortown. Though he never went to
sea, he was the heavy villain in every
plot that delivered the unlucky sailor,
or the unluckier landsman, into the
hands Of captains and mates. Mostly
they were sneaking, brutal, cunning
scamps, these boarding masters, own
ers of low dives along the water
front, which they misnamed sailors
boarding houses. They hung in the
wake of incoming ships, made friends
with the easiest marks among the
crews and baited or bullied them into
their dens. There poor Jack Tar was
kept and entertained with bad whisky
and worse women until his money
was gone. Then he was shipped
aboard some vessel, after signing
away one or more months unearned
wages in payment for an imaginary
board bill and "donkey's breakfast"
sea slang for straw bedtick. "Blood
money" and dead horse" the sailors
called this robbery. The captains al.
ways paid it, taking the sailors "ad-

He was set adrift, almost without

disfavor. He was desperately lone

NEW RULES ARE PUZZLES

burden of work will fall on the guards, wh Il be obliged to run out to the end top runs. In that case the guards il have to be fast tack lers and the ends and tacklers will be the heavier men.
 He agreed with the theory recently expressed by the coach of Cincinnati university, who believes that the quar- terback will have new duties this fall. Dr. Williams states that the rule which permits thu quarterback to go through the line at any point will change that position into a third halfback. Since the men must hit the line alone, pr. Williams believes there will be prac- tically four halfbacks, all light and quick to squirm through openings. He said that the new regulations will make the game very much like English rug by football, and he did not like the change.
 Judging by reports from Yale, quar- terback runs under the new rules will reorganize most every system of de- fense. During the Blues initial scrim- mage the quarterback plunge through the line was responsible for freuuent gains.
 These new regulations are causing more earnest spring practice at the various institutions than has been the case in the history of the game. Cor nell is the only large college which is not planning scrimmage practice, and there are but 15 men reporting reRu- larly for work at Ithaca.

JEFF'S WEIGHT
 IS MADE PUBLIC

Jeffries Training Camp, Rowardennan, Cal, April 25-When Jim Jeffries started on his run to Boulder creek this morning he tipped the beam at exactly 22S pounds. This information was given out by Far mer Burns, who haled the former cham pion into the darkest receses of the gym nasium last night and, after putting him on the scales, got busy with the tape, and recorded brand new set of meas urements. According to the figures given out by the veteran trainer Jeffries stands just feet 115 inches in height, measures IS inches around the neck, 45 inches around the chest normal, and 501s inches expanded; 36 inches around the waist, 26-Inch thigh, 17-ineh calf. 1o-inch ankle. 16-inch biceps, 1S-inch forearm and SA inch wrist.
 This fs the first time Jeffries' official weight has been given out, and the fight fans received the announcement with considerable satisfaction. Manager Der ger declared several days ago that Jef- fries would not find it necessary to take off more than 10 pounds before July 1. If this can be taken as official, the former champion will enter the ring weighing in the neighborhood of 22O pounds.
