nary, but takes his afternoon exercise
with the Princeton foot ball team on Os-
borne Field, and for the first time entered
a regular scrimmage. Playing at full
back on the scrub team, he tore his way
through the varsity for three touchdowns
Once, after breaking through the line. he
passed the Sc ondary line for gain OF
40 yards and touchdown. Such line
the days Of Jim Mccormick. but the var
sity line was weak and the big fuliback
had ample opportunity to make good
gains.
The practice was even longer than those
of the two previous days, and consisted
chiefly of defensive work for the VARSITY.
Hammond played star game on the
scrub, and aided materially in the scor-
ing. HIS dashes outside of tackle. as
wei as his wide end runs. netted many
yards. AS usual, the playing Of the var
sity line was sp.ritless. Bluethenthal, who
has been playing the most consistent
game in the line. was In during the first
part of the scrimmage only. Swan took
his place.
Where the regular forwards were weak
est was in getting down under kicks, the
scrub backs always getting a good start
in running back De Wits punts. but the
scrub linemen sifted through the varsity
line much faster. The forward pass was
tried frequently, but it was good luck
when 1t worked. and as rule it gained
nothing.
Princeton is still lacking in a good drop
kicker, and Baker. De Witt and Penfield
all tried field goals. De Witt got his
kicks away quicker than the other two,
but failed to get more than two between

Quakers in Hard Practice.

PHILADELPHIA, October 27.-There
was no let-up yesterday in the hard work
of the Pennsylvania foot ball squad, In
preparation for the game with State Col
lege Saturday. Smith drove the men
through one of the hardest practices OF
the week. big bunch Of coaches was
on hand trying to whip the candidates
into some kind of conditions. but the re-
suits were not altogether satisfactory.
For nearly a half hour the varsity and
scrub struggled In a scrimmage, with
neither side able to score. The first team
was once more without the services OF
Capt. Mercer His injury is not serious.
but the coaches do not wish to take any
chances with him.
Most of the preliminary practice was
devoted to the perfection Of the forward
pass and a defense for the same. The
State College men are known to use this
play effectively. The Pennsylvania
coaches consider this game the turning
point of the season, and are hopeful Of
victory.

The Department of Agriculture

as the Mississippi Valley makes,
while New Hampshire clears over
eleven dollars an acre on oats against
two dollars and thirty-six cents an

The New New ENGLAND

From one point OF view the great

In and year out the yield to the acre
is about forty per cent above the aver
age for the United States. And the
corn is worth more The farm value

IL was a Connecticut youth, n. H..

record was probably exceeded by 7. p.

cd hundred and three bushels Of

Our Polite NeIahbor

Sir Wnirid Laurler has character
lied the anti-American campaign now
being carried on by the Eastern Can
adian foes OF reciprocity as the most
insldious and dishonest fight" he ever
heard OF. II was a master stroke FOR
the tories to appeal to a smouldering
anti.American sentiment at a time
when Sir Wilirids cause is bound up
with reciprocity. Il Is undeniable
that such an appeal is not without It's
effect In Montreal and other Eastern
provincial cities. But the malignity
OF the anti.Americans is hard to ac-
count for.
II IS conceivable that the tory lead
ers might honestly differ with Presi-
dent Taft and Sir Wilfrid haurier
without going the length OF referring
TO the president OF n friendly power
as Tricky Taft or Taft the Swim
der" There is, furthermore, little
OF the "hands across the sea- spirit

Sam as sly, designing villain. a
vulgar coarse creature planning Can
ada's destruction and gloating over

The silent Efficiency Of Advertising.

The silent EHiclency OF Advertising.
One of the principal reasons for
the tremendous growth of modern
advertising is its unobstrusiye eff.
cheney.
Craftsmanship through the person
al presence of one man or woman
talking to another individual often
suffers much from the obtrusive
personality of the seller. 1t is a fine
art to sell goods Few are trained
to do it just right
One person lacks the self assur.
ance to push his arguments to the
point of persuasion Wearied by the
persistent reluctance of the custom
err his initiative fails. The Gus
toner leaves the store unsatisfed.
Life in retail store for the clerks
is a long series of trying contacts.
The doubt and indecision of the Gus
toners, their inability to know their
own minds, irritate the clerks. They
become grouchy, the customer gets
indignant, and the result OF the lit
tie tiff is that the buyer goes off
angry. not to return.
One great trouble is that it Is
hard for customers to make up
their minds what they want on the
spur of the moment They natural
ly hesitate before spending money.
The salespeople do not always have
sufficient patience with this hesita-
ton.
Selling goods by the newspaper
advertisement has the tremendous
advantage that the human personal
ity does not affront the person
whose patronage is solicited. The
advertisement never wearies the
customer, and is never officious
Printers ink is never tired Of tell
ing its story. If the prospective Gus
toner hesitates, she can read over
the facts and figures for 20 times
until she gets some idea what she
wants, where the clerk in the store
would become snappish II he is
asked the same question twice.
The newspaper advertisement
finds people in the mood for think
ing about purchases. They take up.
the paper in the quiet OF their
homes compare the offerings OF the
merchants at their leisure II is
merely up to the merchant to see
that the questions naturally 10 be
expected are fully answered.
Hence it is that large proper
ton of the sales of modern mer-
chandise are practically made to
people before they leave their
homes.-Rutland News.

THE TARIFF

1t is evident every DAY tnat the TAR
if is to be the big issue of next years
campaign and tariff talk is pretty dry
but everybody should become as ia
miliar as possible with the subject.
Below is an interesting opinion on
the tariff from the Saturday Evening
Post-particularly interesting because
it disputes the familiar claim that the
tariff affects wages
British Board.of-Trade investiga-
tons extending over four years show
that, where the British workman
earns a dollar, the German workman
earns eighty-three cents, the French
workman seventy-five cents, the Bel
gian workman sixty-three cents and
the American workman two dollars
and thirty-two cents; also, that the
food for which the British workman
paws dollar at home would cost him
dollar and seventeen cents in Ger
many, ninety-nine cents in France or
Belgium. and a dollar and forty-three
cents in the United States-where, by
the way, the hours OF labor are four
per cent shorter than in England.
Such is the gist of rather cele-
brated report; but in this report the
only workmen considered were those
employed in the building engineering
and printing trades in larger cities.
Thus the American schedule starts
off with city bricklayers and stonema-
sons. working eight hours day and
earning four to five dollars day,
and winds up with city printers get
ting three dollars day for eight
hours work. II is virtually limited,
in short, to our best-organiged, high
est-priced labor.
"As it happens, that labor is engag-
ed in industries which have no direct
interest whatever in the tariff. What
protection, for example, could the tar
if give a carpenter or a printer? The
Bureau of Labor recently reported up
on an industry that is directly inter
ested in the tariff-namely, the steel
industry 1t finds that one-quarter OF
all the employees embraced in its in
vestigation work eighty-four hours a
week, or twelve hours daily. including
Sunday; and one-half of them earn
less than eighteen cents an hour, or
two dollars and sixteen cents for a
twelve-hour day. Highly skilled EN-.
ployees, comprising four per cent Of
the total, receive fifty cents or up
ward an hour. These are the ones
that figure exclusively in standpat
oratory."
1t is unquestionably true that the
tariff effect on wages is very greatly
overrated but there is one way in
which it is apparent to anybody that
the tariff is an important factor.
Even the most enthusiastic free ira
der will tell you that the great bust
ness enterprises of this country have
been fostered by the tariff. Great
and growing industries make a great
demand for labor and the demand for
labor is a most potent factor in de-
terminlng whether labor shall be well
or poorly paid.
We have too much protective fariff
in this country but American work
ingmen know by the sad expeplence
of 1898 and the following yea~' that
protection pays, however beautiful
free trade theories may look before
they are put into effect
