PLUM CREEKS CLUB.

Merely to scan the roster Of the new
ly formed Plum Creek Mothers and
Daughters Club is to convince ones
self that this society will. or, at least.
should, achieve the same success that
has marked the career of its sister Or
ganization in Union township.
Clubs like these make for better
living They help immeasurably to
make country life attractive The
educate. they refine, they endow their
members with culture. In every way
they serve the insistent needs OF the
DAY. Their interests range from care
of the teeth to good roads. They arc
not clubs for the propagation of small
talk and the exchange of neighborhood
gossip but societies which seek to
bring nearer the golden age of rural
nus bandry.
There ought to be such an organiza-
ton in every township in kossuth
county. Why is there none in Cresco?
In Irvington? In Portland? In other
like communities which rejoice in such
mothers and daughters as the wide
world can not excel?
Let US have more OF these clubs. Let
Union and Plum Creek spread the gos-
pei among their sister townships Let
there be a great sorority Of Kossuth
county farm women. In union there Is
strength. Banded together, the mothers.
wives and daughters OF Kossuth far
mers can. if they will, do more for the
uplift OF rural life in this county than
any other agency.

CANADA'S man
bESTED OE|Tz
Local Man Forfeited First
Fall and Lost Second in
Three Minutes

Ernest sunherg, the Canadian wres-
tier, won from Bun Deitz, the local
man, IN two straight falls last night.
The first went 35 minutes. The Sec
ond bout lasted just three minutes.
Sunberg pinning Deitz' shoulders to
the mat with a crotch hold from a
standing position.
For rs minutes. Deitz put up a good
strong fight. He wrestled himself out
of a number Of bad holds, and, while
Sunherg showed more science, he kept
the Canadian man going all of the
time. He showed, however, that he
was not in the best of condition for
the match. Deitz came back for the
second bout in bad condition. In fact
he was in 10 condition to 60 on with
the match, and the result was that he
WAS thrown in three minutes.
The 10-minute preliminary exhibi-
ton between Powers and Willetts was
one Of the best eve seen in the city.
Both men are clever wrestlers. and
they gave last nights audience an ex-
cellent exhibition Of the game. Their
work in securing holds and breaking
out of them was exceptionally good.
Tho double bar exhibition was also one
OF the features of the program.

MUCH
ON MILLER. IAN

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Opportunity
looms up in three and possibly in
four. different positions for aspirants
to regular jobs on the White Sox
squad of 1912. This seems assured.
Judging from the work Of the team
during the closing days Of the race.
Two Of the positions which now
appear as hopeless gaps In the Sox
defense are first and second bases. Cal
admits that the plugging process will
be brought into play here. but this
has been known before. as Cornell
has been sent along his way and
Shane Collins has failed to produce
in the eyes Of the new Sox pilot.
To a degree. the problems finding
the suitable men are already solved,
for the roster boasts of five aspira nts
to the first base Job. three to a place
at second and five to honors at short.
The pitching staff is assured Of two
brilliant additions in Flame" Delhi,
the Los Angeles phenom. and "Pete"
Peters. the Minneapolis sensation.

CARLISLE STAR
IN ATHLETICS
Thorpe's Record For the Sea-
son Has Been VERY
Remarkable

Carlisle. Pa. Dec. 27.-An Indian,
James Thorpe. was one of the sea-
sons football sensations. He was a
Sac and Fox from Oklahoma, a men,
Der of the Carlisle Indian school. In
1905 he enrolled at the government
institute. Then he was straight, rath-
er slender and dark. like any of the
other young Indians who every year
go to Carlisle. Today he's just as
wider Of body-the athlete who has
filled out. Besides he is a member
of Walter Camps all-American eleven.
Thorpe's career at Carlisle has been
unusual. When he went there he had
no knowledge whatever of athletics.
Today he's a stan in football. baseball.
basketball and rack work. He has
approached worlds records in his
many lines of activity. Veteran train
ers are at Il loss to account for his
remarkable feats of strength and en-
Gurance. Fol instance. he's a basket
ball center, a. football halfback, n
baseball pitcher OF outfielder, and
Skilled at hunting, lacrosse, handball
and tennis.
Is Best at Halfback.
At halfback he is probably seen at
his best. whirling. twisting. dashing
and plunging, for one moment be-
wilderfng his opponents with 1.-the
leaps and the mex crushing his way
through a mass of men with ferocity.
one great American coach said after
seeing him play at Pittsburg that it
was worth five times the admission
to a game to zee Thorpe tear down
the field for one squirt.
During his second year at Carlisle
Thorpe was first substitute on the foot
ball eleven. and played in several
games. The next year he played regu-
larly as left 'halfback and began to
and kicked field goals. Thorpe is only
23 ears old. ts six feet tall and aver
ages about 17S pounds in weight. He
gave little promise Of his wonderful
talents until his second year at Car
Isle. when. in a dual meet against
Syracuse university, the aborigines
were victorious by a narrow margin.
Thorpe won the high Jump. broad
jump and was first in the high and
low hurdles. defeating Thor in the
shot put and getting second place in
the hammer throw.
Is Winner of Five Events.
l. The same year. at the PENNSYLVANIA
intercollegiate at Harrisburg, Thorpe
won the high jump. with a jump OF
SIX feet; broad jump, hammer throw
and high and low hurdles. A week OF
two later, In h Middle Atlantic Dis.

at Philadelphia. he took first place In

much better than this in practice. He
can run 100 yards in ten seconds. His
school record is ten and a fifth sec.
