LINEUP

The cold, drilling rain, which
had been doing a continu Gus per-
Torrance in this vicinity for the
past month, wouldn't even let up
for the big sporting event of the sea-
son-the Normal High school foot
ball game, and as a result the affair
was pulled off on sloppy, slippery
gridiron, to the accompaniment of a
soaking deluge of rain.
The high school players came onto
the field determined to show up"
their observation-disclosures heavier
opponents, and by the same token
the pedagogues were there with the
intention of smothering the little
'uns in overwhelming defeat. High
won the respect and admiration of
the soaked and shivering audience
right at the outset by playing the
pedagogues to standstlll in the
first quarter, not only holding Nor
NAL from scoring, but also having
the best of the offensive play. In
the second quarter Normal went at
it hammer and tongs, and by sheer
weigh carried the ball to Highs 25-
yard line. But here the youngsters
"stone walled" and forced Norm al
to kick, and here a break of luck
gave Normal it's first touchdown.
Foley attempted drop-kick. The
slippery ball went along the ground
through the mass of players and
over Highs goal line. A high
school player picked it up but drop
ped it when tackled and Normal
man fell en- it. Moser added another
touchdown later in the same quarter
and PIERCE kicked the only goal of
the game. The first half ended with
the score IL to O..
Another break of luck in the third
quarter gave the pedagogues the
ball on Highs 10-yard line, from
where couple of off tackle rushes
netted another touchdown, and they
scored two more in the last quarter
the final count being Is to 0 in favor
of Normal.
High may be reasonably elated
over their showing in Saturdays
game. Their offensive plays were
we'll directed and played with a
sureness and snap that would have
surely netted them victory over a
team more nearly their own weight
On the defensive they showed up
like veterans, breaking up the Nor
NAL interference time after time and
mailing the man with the ball before
the play had barely got under way.
The playing of Maier, of the high
school team was easily the feature
of the game.
The high school lineup was as fol
lows: Stanley Baird, T. e.; VIM
Dawson, r. t.; Neal Taylor, r. G..
Robert WATSON, c.; John Kuehnl,
g.; George Manion, |. t.; John Hunt
er and Earl Chinook, |. e.; Jeff
Smith, a.; Ben Maier, f. b.; War
Winton, r. h.; Elliott Fessenbecke
and John Hunter, |. b. The Nor
NAL players were PIERCE, r. e.
Fletcher and Baird, r. t.; Fuller, r
g; Reagan, c.; Chinook, /. G
Cooke, |. t.; Foley, |. e Bliss, q.
Bergh. r. h Moser, f. b.; Condit,
h.
Next Saturday high school will
play Central High of ST. Paul, at St
Paul, and Normal will go to Eat
Claire to play the high school team
of that city. There will be few
changes in the Normal lineup
Max Sherburne is being coached
for center, Reagan going in at RICH
tackle and Keith will probabl,
pilot the team from the quartz
back position, Bliss being shifted
to left guard.

PRICE ON DEAD FLIES.
Woman's Civic League VIII Pay Ten
Cents a Quart.


BALTIMORE, Md, July 20-In
order to bring about the extermina-
ton i'm this city of flies, a recognized
pest and carrier Of disease germs. the
Woman's Civic League has decided to
start an active campaign no Thursday
Two lines of attack will be carried
out mainly by children. The price
of 10 cents a quart for dead flies will
be paid on delivery.
DR.. Clifton F. Hodge has been one
of the prime movers of the campaign
against flies in this and other cities.
Dr. Hodge is professor of biology in
Clark University. He has called at
teution to the fact that nearly one
half million cases Of typhoid occur in
the United States annually. which re-
sult i'm $4,000 deaths and cause a loss
Of $3.50 .OOO, 900. Miss James, Of the
Women's Civic League stated yester-
day that getting rid Of flies was not
merely a fad, but that It was the
means of getting rid OF contagious
diseases, and so save the lives Of
thousands Of infants.
Miss James also exhibited a num-
| Der of traps which, if placed where
flies congregate. will capture a quart
of flies. Fifty stations have been
planned to take care of the influx Of
dead flies. The age limit Of the chill
dren has been set at 16 years, but
everybody will be allowed to hell.
There are special prizes for the great
est number killed. The first award is
s25 to the boy and girl killing the
greatest number. Other prizes will
be of SIS and 81. 1t Is to take care
of these awards and to pay for the
quart loads of dead flies that the
league, through Miss James, secre-
tary. asks for subscriptions.

My Own Sweet Yankee Rose
By Daniel MOnagIe.

There's dear spot in Columbia.
Along the Brandywine.
Where the balmy winds of Spring
time
Sweep through the oak and
pine.
Where midst ambrosial sweetness
The river gently flows,
met my dearest treasure
My own sweet Yankee rose.
Her golden hair was streaming,
The sunset in It cleaning,
With love my heart was teeming.
For my beauteous Yankee rose.
Her cheeks are like the roses.
Her lips the ruby bright
Her skin is like the lily,
Her teeth a pearly white.
To match her peerless beauty,
Her golden hair 1t flows,
In a wealth OF ringlets shining,
To deck my Yankee rose.
And I feel in joyous frances,
AS through It the sunlight glances,
For the beauty IL enhances.
or my beauteous Yankee rose.
I've seen the dusky maidens
OF many a sunny cline,
I've felt their witching glances
And their beauty so sublime.
But you'll find the maidens sweetest
Where the Mississippi flows,
They're queens of all the nations,
My lovely Yankee rose.
I've seen some lovely faces
Uhcc. outline haaufv TRACES
But none possess the graces
OF my lovely Yankee rose.
And often in the cleaning,
And I'm the Philippines.
In roaming in my day dreams,
Among the beauteous scenes.
And in fancy oft I wander
Where the river gently flows,
| And clasp you IN my arms,
My own sweet Yankee rose.
And hear your sweet voice cryins
In accents softly signing
Come Ger the pillows flying.
To your own sweet Yanke
rose.
There was no longing, never
Such as I feel for you,
I've pledged my love forever,
And forever III be true.
My heart is sore I'm anguish,
My yearning no one knows,
Until once more ! meet you
My own sweet Yankee rose.
The time I sadly measure
And naught I'll know of pleasure
Until / claim my treasure,
My own beauteous Yankee rose

SPEND MILLIONS TO.
DRAIN THEIR FARMS
Iowa Land Owners Begin
Vast Reclamation
Project

DIES MONIES. July 2O-The farm
ers of Iowa are spending on a vast
project to drain their swamp lands
three-quarters as much money as the
United States Government is paying
to build the Panama canal They
have already used $4,000, 900 I'm the
work, and the total cost Of the inn
provements when finished is estimat-
ed at SSo7,o0O.0OO
II is expected that hundreds Of
thousands of acres will be added TO
the tillable area Of the State. acres
which during ages have been accum-
ulating richness washed down upon
them from higher land, as well as by
decay of their own swamp vegetation,
acres which need only TO be released
from the embarrassment of too much
water to demonstrate their wonderful
fertility The millions that will thus
be added 10 the value of Iowa are be-
yond the reach of accurate computa-
ton. although sanguine advocates de-
clare that the State will be weather.
by half billion dollars or more when
the work is finished.
The reclamation was begun in 1904
and thus far nearly SS000.000 has
been spent on public drainage bitches
in fourteen out of the thirty counties
in which the work is projected. In
the remaining sixteen counties some
! 100000 more will b. expended So
! that 100000 acres of farms will be
Z improved al an average cost Of IS
an acre. The result Is the throwing
open TO cultivation of swamp and
food land which will he hereafter

estimated total cost of the public
drainage bitches is S60.000.000 These
figures are supplied by the State Con-
servation Board, which calculates that
individual owners will spend S247,-
100000 more out Of their own pockets
in draining wet lands.
BY the Iowa plan large open drains
are first built. then tiled lateral
bitches leading to them, and the
small tiled drains under individual

HINTS BY MAY MANTON
A FASHIONABLE SUIT
OF FRENCH SERGE

French serge, braid trimmed, makes
some of the smartest suits for the
early season. This one is eminently
girlish in fleet. The short and jaunty
coat Is made with peasant sleeves,
there is the big collar that is always
charming and the slight cut-away eff
feet is exceedingly youthful. The
skirt gives Just the necessary straight
slender lines without exaggeration.
No better model could be found. The
serge trimmed with wide braid is In
every way to be desired, but the sea-
son is one of many opportunities and
many materials and this model can be
made from any seasonable suiting
with perfect propriety, while trim
ming always can be varied to suit the
taste and special need. Several rows
of narrow braid could be used in place
of the one wide braid, or the collar,
revers and cuffs could be made of
satin or other contrasting material
and the lower edge OF the coat left
plain. The skirt does not require
trimming, although braid over the
: side portions is both pretty and fash
ionable. Broadcloth with collar and
cuffs of satin banded with the ma
terial would be exceedingly handsome,
dark colored cloth with collar and
cuffs of white cloth makes a fash
ionable and attractive combination
and the model is adapted to both. In
addition to it's other advantages, the
skirt can be made either to the high
or natural waist line. The suit is a
desirable one for small women as we'll
as for young girls.
For the 16 year size the jacket will
require "a yards Of material q,
2 1-2 yards SO or 7-S yards "A In
ches wide, with 2 ID yards Of braid /;
for the skirt will be needed 4 "a

A, with yards of braid.
A May Manton pattern of the coat,
No. 7042, or of the skirt, No. 6SSS, IN

of age, will be mailed TO any address
