Topeka, Kan.-Many Kansas wOm-
en- are turning to agriculture and to a
life out of doors Within the last two
years a score or more of young wom-
en- have chosen the farming vocation
in preference to teaching and TO clerk
ships in stores and stenographic posi-
lions. Some of them declare that
much of the work may be done by
women now that modern machinery
has lightened the burdens of the farm
er. But the greatest benefits come,
they say, from the needed exercise
and the life in the open air.
Prominent among the young women
of Kansas who are making a success
at farming are the Misses Ruby and
Olive Herd of Hodgeman county.
These two sisters own farm seven
miles west of Jetmore. Preferring a
life of independence, they bought the
land and built modest cottage and
turned their attention TO small farm
ing, poultry raising and fruit growing
There are no Saturday half-holidays
with the two Herd sisters. for they
are not seen at the county seat or
the local trading place on that after
noon talking politics.
These two young women were for
merly school teachers Their little
home is comfortable. and it shows
every evidence of refinement
Miss TiIlie Rheinschimdt, eighteen
years old. has demonstrated this year
that she knows how to run a farm.

Sumner township Reno county. but

serious accident and the burden fell

/ MADISON EVOLVES NEW IDEA
Compulsory Football is lnaugurated
at University of Wisconsin for
the Freshmen.

Eighty University of Wisconsin
freshmen caromed around the lower
campus at Madison the other day,
kicking footballs and tackling the
dummies and taking evident enjoy
ment in every move 1t was the first
trial of compulsory football there or
at any other college or university. The
idea originated with DR.. WE. Mean
we'll of the physical training depart
ment
The freshmen were first put
through calisthenic drill and were
then lined up and allowed to punt
back and forth. Nine footballs were
used and the supply was short at
that.
They seem to find the greatest en-
joyment in kicking the ball. said DR..
Meanwen Make them kick indoors
and you'll find them doing it in a
mechanical fashion lacking interest of
purpose. It's psychological fact that
games and sports and not caIisthenics
are the real developmental forces for
the body and bear out my theory that
games should be conducted out of
doors as many days in the year as the
weather permits"

rolled up their sleeves and made full
hands on the farm.
The three of them plowed corn,
MIXED COWS, delivered cream, har-
vested wheat and oats. cut 80 acres of
alfalfa three cuttings, put up lot OF
prairie hay. raised corn that made so
bushels TO the acre and performed
every bit of the farm work unassast-
ed. Not a man was seen on the Griem
place all summer. When their father
was able to be out they pointed to
granaries full of corn and wheat, the
barns housing fat cattle and sleek
horses, and the bank account intact.
They were proud of the fact that they
did not pay out a dollar to men to
achieve this record.
Generally the women of Kansas who
have turned erom the cities to the SIM
pie life out in the country are not
concerned about marriage. They are
women of mature years and Judgment,
to whom marriage relation does not
appeal unless it carries with it energy
and the ability to make a living.

FOR SUCCESS IN FOOTBALL
Instance Is Cited in Yale-Princeton
Game Four Years Ago-"Use
Your Own Brains"

THE team that goes into game
with only the coach's brain in it's head
stands only half chance against the
eleven that carries its own brain with
it as WE'LL" writes George Jean Nathan
in Harper's Weekly. He instances
the game between Princeton and Yale
four years ago, when. at the end of
the first half, the score stood at ten
to nothing in favor of the orange and
black. Between the halves something
was happening in the dressing-room
of the eleven of New Haven. The Ell
team was being lectured by the men
who had been coaching it and de-
veloping it into a machine which,
they hoped, might plough its way
through everything that stood be-
tween it and the victorious goal The
something that happened there
caused the Yale eleven to score two
touch-downs in the second half and to
win the stubborn, uphill contest" The
most salient words Sanford shouted
at the blue team were, use your OWE
brains"

Los Angeles. Cal.-That Ragtime

Your ragtime air jars the nerve

the roll and thump of ragtime is ex-

COOL HEAD KEY TO SUCCESS
Earl SprackIino, All-American Quar-
ter Back Last Year, Tells Of
Many Football Faults.

Keep a cool head" is one OF the
leading tips that Earl Sprackling, ALI
American quarter back last year,
gives to aspiring football players.
Sprackling recently handed out few
bits of advice which will no doubt
prove of value to schoolboys. He
cited several instances Of where play
ers had forgotten even the simplest
things about football in the excite
ment of a game because OF the fact
that they got ratified. Goodness, he
said, was one of the main requisites
for a player running a team.
Sprackling laid some stress on the
need of good kickers this year, There
are many kinds OF kicks in footbaii
and as many ways 20 make them

most common is the long, high punt.

in the east the long. low punt is
gaining favor. The ball travels about
ten yards high, and is hard to handle.
Pennsylvania quarter back had this
kick down fine last year. His kicks
would travel through the air for
twenty yards, hit the ground, then
roll forty to fifty yards more.
The drop kick and place kick will
be more important this year. for there
is a lack of scoring plays within the
twenty-yard line A team must have
a man who can make field goals. The
place kick gives more distance. but is
less accurate than the drop kick. be-

SEE CRUCIAL POINTS
Few Baseball Fans See the ReaI
Plays.
First Game Between Giants and Ath
Ietics Won and Lost on a Play
Lost to Many Of Special
ors-Fear Wins Out.

Do you imagine that you ever sat
and watched game of baseball won
and lost without knowing it?
You never did?
Then you have seen few ball games,
writes Bill Bailey in the Chicago
American. For almost any man who
has seen a half dozen games has wit

lied 1t.
Take the first game of the worlds
series between the Giants and the
Athletics The game was won by the
Giants on a play lost to ninety-nine
out of every one hundred spectators,
And that game was won because OF
the fear that Red" Murray would hit
into double play. He is what Muggsy
McGraw has to say of it:
1--WE won that first game, and ]
dare say there were not 100 persons
who witnessed the play who could
have told after the battle the play
which made us the victors," said he.
THE turning point came in the fourth
inning. And | am willing to admit
that it was my fear which resulted In
our winning.
"Snodgrass was on first with none
out. Murray was at bat. Bender got
Murray in the hole with two strikes
so quickly that the New York players
were dazed | was on the first base
coaching line. Now, the thing that
was afraid Of was that Murray would
hit into a double play.
II slipped Murray the hit and run
sign and told Snodgrass to go down
on the next ball pitched. AS Bender
drew back his arm Snodgrass was off.
Murray swung hard at the ball and
hit sharply to Collins.
THE ball bounded rapidly and
straight to Collins Had Snodgrass
waited until Murray hit into that ball
he would have been forced at second
and Murray would have been doubled
at first AS it was Murray was thrown
out, but the instant start which the
hit and run signal gave Snodgrass
saved him. Collins fumbled later In
that inning and gave Snodgrass the
opportunity to score.

How lucky that Murray and Snod-

RELIGIOUS HOAX IN INDIA
People Drink From Stagnant Pool
Scented With Stolen Perfume and
Story Spreads of Spring.

Calcutta.-One of the most extra
ordinary religious hoaxes ever record

according to the local inhabitants, to
emit sweet perfume which had a
lovely lemon flavor Many people
came, smelt, and were conquered, and
the rumor spread that the pool was
holy and that a new goddess would
soon rise from its waters to redeem
the world
The pool became place of pilgrim
age. Diseased people bathed in it
and drank of it, and those of uneasy
conscience washed away their sins in
it. The water was carried away in
jugs and bottles and brisk trade
sprang up under the aegis of an astute
young Bengalee in selling the holy
water in all parts of the city at as
much as $3.50 bottle.
News of the holy perfume came to
the ears of Bose G Co, scent manu-
facturers, who sent connoisseur to
investigate His nose Immediately
provided him with a clew to the mys-
terious disappearance of several cases
of essential oils belonging to the firm
The police found that several broken
bottles of the oils had been thrown
into the pool. This was the explana
