TWENTY-FIVE MEN
OUT FOR BASKETBALL
Coach Jones Drilling Players
in Speed and Team
Work.
CHANGES IN RULES
About -Four Weeks Remain
Until First Game Is
Played.

The University OF Missouri basket
ball team is now holding scrimmage
practice daily. The squad is worked
about two hours each practice, and the
work out is made faster every day.
Several new candidates for the team
have Joined the squad in the last two
days. About twenty-five men are now
trying out for places on the Tiger
five.
Only about four weeks remain to get
the team into shape before the first
game, which will be played here a
week after the Christmas holidays.
Owing to the fact that most of the
men have been doing light work for
nearly a month. much of the prelim-
mary practice will be omitted this
season and the time can be given to
wedding out" the squad and perfect
ing team play.
Coach Jones said last night that the
men showed more life in their work
than at any time before. He is de-
termined that the team this year must
be fast and must show good team
work, and his coaching is directed
along these lines. Some of the men
who have been showing up well in
the work so far are: Cohen, Parker,
Conklin, Perkins, Leverette, Castillo,
Edwars.
About three quarters of an hour was
devoted to scrimmage last night be-
tween two teams of the Varsity squad,
after fifteen minutes spent by the
first team in running signals. The
teams which started lined up as fol-
lows. First team: Left forward, Co.
hen; right forward, Todd; center,
Parker; left guard, Conklin: right
guard, .Leverette. Second team: right
forward, Miller; left forward, Steifel-
man; center, Ford; right guard,
Pearse; left guard, Taafe.
After practice Coach Jones gave the
men lecture on what will probably
be the new rules for this year. The
Missouri Valley Conference has not
yet met, but other conferences have
made these changes this year and the
NJ. V. C. will more than likely make
the same changes when it meets. This
year when a crowd, in the opinion of
the officials, delays the game by its
conduct, a free throw will be given
the visiting team Four personal
fouls instead of five will disqualify
aplayer this year and put him out OF
the game. No warning will be given
him. Time may be taken out only
three times in game this year with
out 2 penalty. Last year the number
was tx. The home team will in all
cases be held responsible for coaching
from the sidelines or rowdy actions
ON the part of the crowd, and will be
penalized in such cases.

WIZ ESCAPED

Fatal Injury

Tiedemann's elevator is a busy place
these days with the shipping OF large
quantities of grain to the eastern
markets added to the regular run of
business and the machinery which is
propelled by a gasoline engine OF 100
horse power is kept In motion the
greater part OF the time. Up to last
Friday there had been no accident to
record since the big elevator was put
in commission about year ago.
Friday afternoon while cndcavoring
to clear an obstruction in the long
worm conveyor, Charles Schlonnegger.
one OF the employees, made Il misstep
and his foot caught in such a way as
to drag him bodily into this augcr-
shaped piece OF machinery. His
screams for help we're heard by Mr..
Tiedemann. who stopped the machin.
cry and began the work OF rescue with
the aid OF others near at hand. Had
it not been for q loose belt which
began slipping when Schlonnegger's
leg wedged tightly, there would have
been an accident OF more serious na-
ture to chronicle.
Working hard for twenty minutes
the rescuers finally succeeded in re-
leasing the unfortunate fellow and an
examination showed badly lacerated
leg and foot. an ankle bone shaved OF

Tho Asparagus Bod

When we see our neighbor picking
strawberries we say, Next year l am
going TO have strawberry bed J"
When the time comes to set the
plants, we hayc forgotten all about it
or are busy with something else so do
not think of it till next strawberry
time.
Asparagus Ia now selling on the
market for lS cents a pound, and
there Is still time to set bed this
year. There Is no crop that can be
grown In this climate that will give
bigger returns from the garden In
food or satisfaction than the aspara-
gus bed. No vegetable requires less
care after IL Is once started.
II you are planning to make Il bed.
remember that IL Is to last for an in
dchnitc length of time. Put 1t next
TO the fence or In some place where it
will not be necessary to plow or where
II will not be disturbed in other
ways.
The bed may be started either by
sowing the seed or by setting plants
from Il nursery, or from an old bed.
II seed are sown, they must be grown
one or two years In the nursery row
before setting in the permanent bed.
Too much care cannot be given to the
preparation OF the land before setting.
First, determine the amount Of land
to be set. For one family one row
from twenty-five to iifty feet long
will be ample. The soil should be
spadcd or deeply plowed and have
mixed with 1t a heavy coat Of we'll dc.
composed stable manure. After the
soil is thoroughly pulverizcd, make n
trench not less than six inches deep,
In which set the plants. 1t is impor.
tant that the plants be set from
eighteen inches to two feet apart in
the row. II more than one row is
set. the rows should be five feet apart.
Cover the plants with from one to
two inches OF fine soil, and after the
tops get above ground, cultivate It
gradually until the trench is filled to
the surface. Cultivate frequently dur.
ing the season. No grass should be
cut during the first or second year.
After that 1t may be cut from early
spring until June or July: then the
tops must be allowed to grow during
the remainder Of the season to store
up plant food for the next years crop.
After frost comes the tops should be
mown Off and burned and Il heavy
coat of manure applied to the bed to
protect the plants and to supply the
needed fertility to the soil. Rcmcm
her the asparagus plant IS IA vOracious
feeder, and the more fertilizer applied
the more and bigger stems may be cut
from the bed. f. r. BENNETT,

a dozen gentlemen were called to-
gethcr on the evening of April 3l>t To
discuss Il business matter. The bus
ness being over, they spent an hour
or more socially. After Il while "corns
and bunions" came up as Il topic Of
conversation then it changed to shoes
and footwear generally. One man
said: Gentlemen, l used to order all
my shoes, both for myself nd family,
from Chicago as l could get them
cheaper there than from any Kansas
City order house. But" he said. "a
year and u half ago | began buying
our shoes from Kropf brothers and |
have actually gotten better shoes and
more comfort for less money than |
had been getting from Chicago "
And the strange part OF 1t was that
nine out OF the twelve men present
had had the self same experience in
different lines Of trade, both groceries
and dry goods. The other three of
the twelve laughed at their cnmpan-
ions. aying, 'you have learned by
experience what we knew to start
with, namely, that l<ropf Brothers
store Is really necessary to the well
being Of this community. All agreed
that this was true and they closed

On May 18th Hallcy's comet will at
tempt to shoe the flies or the earth
with its Tail. Sevcnty-hvc years ago,
when this comet appeared, We remem.
Der distinctly that it wore its tail
banged, but since then it has become
the planets, lashing the Milky Way,
and behaving itself in an unseemly
manner. Moreover, it has been dis
covered that this tail Is composed OF u
gaseous formation very much like the
laughing gas we take when we have
tooth pulled. 1t Is probable that
when IL cnvclops the earth on May
18th. the human race will breathe

themselves to death. II you notice
someone ticklcd nearly to death on
May 18th, you may rest assured that
he has brcatheda u part OF Halley's
comets tail, aud unless relieved Ut
once lie may laugh himself up that
spout from which no traveller returns.
We would advise our readers to secure
some scientific work on "First Aid TO
The Tickled," and study It carefully
before May IS. But seriously, the
comets tail may asphyxiate every
mothers son OF us or swish Us of the
