Abundant literature comes to us
from the early days of the Romans
Love and attention was given to agri-
cultural pursuits, and in their for
elgn and military advancement were
always eager to get hold Of more
land It was late In the history OF
the Roman empire when the trades
and the professions were taken up
and then were only Of secondary im-
portance to agriculture. The classic
Roman authors which are studied IN
our colleges and secondary schools
have given their finest work to the
description OF country life.

On the strength of the VICTORIES "a

pionship of this section Of the coun-
try and is ready to meet any team
that protests the claim. Last year
Coach Hall had to make team from
squad of men no two of whom had
ever laid eyes on each other before,
as business college has no chance to
hold football players from one year to
the next and maintain a strictly bona
fide student team such as the Gem
City does, but in spite of having moth
ing but new material to work on he
landed a winner, team that won ev-
cry game of its schedule and claim
the championship of minor colleges OF
Illinois in addition to the sectional
championship of this part of the coun-
try The championship of minor col
Ieges of the state was claimed on the
strength of comparative scores.
The team among actual colleges
which claimed the state championship
beat Illinois college Al to 8, this being
the only score on which compare
son could be made. The Gem City
team beat Illinois college So to . on
Thanksgiving day last year and on
that score, coupled with clean rec
ord of victories for the rest of the
season, the team claimed the cham
pionship of Illinois colleges. Outside
of the universities, of course Most OF
the teams that the Gems have met
have had the advantage of weight ov-
er Halls men but speed. the stiffness
and fighting spirit that Hall has al
ways instilled in his men have
brought home the bacon on every oc
casion to date.
The style of play that Hall has
brought to this part of the country
| has been a revelation to football fans
that have witnessed the games played
i by the Gem City team as it has been
new" and open play in the ex
| IRENE and has opened the eyes oil
some OF the adherents of the old style
of play. So original and completely
mystifying have been some of the
plays taught by Hall that even the
| side lines lose track of the bail fire.
quently and numerous occasions have
occurred this season where referee
has blown the whistle for down over

connections to baseball but is making
things hum in football in his home

only is he making good showing

since he started coaching it two years

claims of the championship of the

one for the Gems. This year games
were scheduled with Lombard, Chris

feat has been met with yet despite
the fact that only two of last years
men were with this seasons squad
Carthage college was beaten in the
first game of the season by score Of
5 to 0, and later in the season when
Hall had the team rounded into shape
Carthage was drubbed numerically in
fifteen minutes of actual play to a
score of 1G to 0, a hail and rainstorm
stopping the game before it was well
under way Indications were that the
4 game would have been something like
40 to 0 in favor of the Gem City team.
Hurdland town team was beaten 4S
to 0 and Illinois college suffered a
to 0 defeat on Illinois field and in
mud and rain that precluded the style
of play that has been the chief stock
in trade of all of the teams that Han
has coached, namely trick plays and
fake formations that require speed
and a dry field.

Mkmsn's milk separates quickly. The butter
fat rises and he solids fall. Milk dipped from a
can is never whole-miik. When that milk gets to
the cooking it is rarely more than half-milk.
Van Camps is the whole-nilk. The milk fresh
from the COW is put into copper vacuum. There,
in moderate heat, we evaporate two-thirds of the
water.
The milk as it comes to you is as thick as thick
cream. 1t is 20 per cent solids, per cent butter
fat tits SO rich that folks always dilute it, even
for coffee and cereals.
In cooking, this milk gives to milk dishes an
amazing richness and favor. Not because of any
addition, for we add nothing a. all. This is simply
the whole. rich milk. But whole, rich milk will
surprise you-you who are used to milk wagon
milk. A single milk dish made with Van Camps
will forever convert you to the use Of this milk.
Until then, your neighbors serving milk dishes
