Seeds /!

We have just received from Landretb =
sens large shipment of garden seeds. seeds
that were grown in 1910. Lot old stock but
fresh seeds. seeds that win grow. Remember
that seeds are going to be scarce this YEAR.
Nearly all crops failed on account of the
long drough, SO buy your seeds early while
yon can get what they want. They won't
spoil. and Ii is better TO have them in the
house ready for the first good weather than
il Is to come in town at the last moment and
then find that you cannot get everything you
want. IL is not unnecessary for us to cay
anything about the quality OF Landreth;s
Seeds. They are the oldest house 10 ihe bus-
mess, and II their seeds were not the very
hest then the house would not be in business
today.
We believe that we sell more gard en- seeds
than any other finn in the county, aud prop
eriy so, because we sell the best seeds. So
We are urging You 10 buy early Ia order
that you may not be disappointed. We
bought an extra large supply Tor this year.
but your neighbors garden failed as well as
yours. and every one viii want seeds.
Remember, too, that In spite of the in
creased cost to us owing to the scarcity of
supply that our prices win not be iucreased
over those OF last year.
And we will say that our prices last year
were very low

 Football Corrupt
Assistant Coach of Wisconsin Says Promising Players Are
 Paid Expenses

Madison, Wis, Nov. 22-That col lege football is honeycombed with corruption all over the country and that the whole system should be sub n1tted to thorough house cleaning is the opinion of pr. Charles McCar- thy, assistant coach at Wisconsin for many years. Dr. McCarthy's com ment on the situation, while induced by the Pickering affair of Minnesota University, was directed to colleges in the East as much is not more than Western institutions.
 "I know that never in the history of football,'' he said, twas there more corruption than at the present time. In the East it is even the custom to pick out some heaVy boy with fair intellgence and get some alumnus to see that he gets through prep school and then college. Yhey $are careful not to get plug-uglies; it is systematic and well organized.
 Tn the West as we'll as in the East, alumni associations will loan money to a promising man on a note. If he makes good the note is never collected He cannot 'squeaP or the note will be collected. The giants who are showing up on these teams are evidence enough"

SAILOR DU. K. BEATEN
 BY BATTLING BILL HURLEY

Sailor Burke of Brooklyn, was shown up by Bill Hurley of G.ens Falls in ten-round bout under the auspices of the Royale A. c. in the Clermont Avenue Rink, Brooklyn, last night Burke was whipped, the upstate scrapper having the better of all the sessions except the first and the fifth, which went to the Brooklyn tar by a small margin. In some of the rounds superiority over Burke was evinced from the first to the final clang of the gong.
 It takes two to make a. fight, or the bout across the big bridge would have been a better one. Hurley did prac- the ever-lovipg kid. clinching at every opportunity and doing most of his fighting after each round, when he pursued his usual atctics of showing fight when truce was called. Referee Tim Hurst talked himself blue in the face warning Burke to stop hugging and do some hghting-some day ref cree may get up enough nerve to throw Burke out of the ring unless he learns to fight a fast, clean battle.
 Physically Burke has all the ear- marks of tighter. Against novice Burke can fight like a champion, sh9wing all sorts of boxing skill and a good man Burke fights like novice hitting only to clineh, heeling with his gloves, wrestling and trying to con- queI' his man with the use of con- stant string of unsportsmanlike badi- mage. Hurley paid little attention to Burke's tactics. going along the even tenor of his way, shooting in his punches from all ang es whenever Burke's arms were not intwined around his body.

MANAGER 0F EDGEW 10DS
 COLES BACK AT lIK-VIEWS

Sporting Editor of the Farmer:-
 In justice to the Edgewood team and myself I wish to state that Man ager McMahon of the Lakeviews has bunch of lies he could think of. As Chas E. Mahoney was umpire and 7aw all of the pays that he relates. Dispute 1. The Edgewoods tried q drop-kick on the third down. It was blocked and regained by an Edge the first down. But according to Manager. McMahon it goes to Lake views (Bonehead No. 1. Dispute 2. The econd Lotzko of Edgewoods punts and Donovan secured the ball after it rolled all over the field and Mahon said it had to go 20 yards but there ia no such rule. If there was he would never be able to find it as he never saw a rue book. Dispute 3. Edgewoods ball on their own 40 yard line. Rist punted to Bakos and Merritt and they both fumbled and Flynn of Edgewoods received the ball and went for touchdown. They ran to Umpire Mahoney, but he said the play was alright and they were in hole.
 Dispute 4. Duncan kicked cT t Rayden and he returned the kick. Halk kowitch Jumped on the return and caught ball in the air. The umpire saw it. He gave the ball to Edge woods and they walked off the field.
 Now if anybody that ever saw me referee q game and if they can tell me one decision that ever gave team one raw deci7ion then they have an apology from me. But there is not one. ] wish to state the reason was this with the Lakeviews, they came over and argued before the game was ever started.
 Ia pT that inc Lakeviews were to receive 25 per cent. of receipts and when the game was to start they demanded 40 per cent. or they would not play. Then they argued on me after refereeing one of their games before and they were well satisfied they came around and wanted me put out.
 We wish to state that before they will ever receive more than 25 per cent their own crowd will have 10 buy one CD ticket for 10c to help along.
 Thinking that. I have answered all

Bank President Says AIdrich Plan Benefits Farmsl
Creating Wealth at Rate of $25,- 100000 a Day, the American Farmer, He Claims, Needs the
 National Reserve Association
Special from United Press.) )

New Orleans, Nov. 22.-Asserting that the American farmer was creat- ing wealth at the rate of s25,000,0 900 needed the benefit of some financial system that would leave him a mar gin of profit, Joseph G. Brown, pres ident of the Citizens National Bank, of Raleigh. N. C., today. told dele gates to the American Bankers As sociauon convention, what he con sidered the needs of the farmer and how the farmer would be benefited by the national reserve association proposed by ex-Senator Nelson w.
 Back of all commerce. banking, manufacturing and all other indus tries, lies agriculture as the real basis of prosperity" said Brown. There which the farmer may not only ob- tain funds to make his crop but may also be. sure of facilities for market ing or holding 1t after it is made, so as to get for himEelf fair share of the profits of his labor. Under the ten. to sell under most unfavorable conditions"
 The reserve association, Brown said, would, by a union of forces. strengthen the courage of the country banker, through whom the farmer must secure funds.
 Whether the small country banker becomes member of the reserve as- sociation or not, he cannot fail to eh- joy the benefits of it because of re- serve correspondents, having them selves firm source of supply" said Brown.
 George M. Reynolds. president of the Continental & Comm ercial Ma tionaa Bank of Chicago, in discussing "rediscounts and credits" defended the reserve association policy, saying:
 ''The bill is not a partisan bill and the only hope of it's becoming a law depends upon our ability to keep it out of politics"
 Reynolds asserted fully 95 per cent. of all business was done on credit basis and said:
 "I hope you will get clear in your minds that. under the principle that reserves are held only as a protection to credit, and that, since credit itself the credit large reserves will Justify is given back to members ofathe aJ- sociatiop in thousands of banks throughout the country, thereby de- centraliZing and taking away from ! the control of few that power so vital to business life."
 Tentative plans for the formation | of the reserve association, in Rev. holds opinion. provide such a unioue and officials to direct it's affairs that 1 it would be impossible for any in oividual or clique to obtain control and operate the association to their l own interest and against that of the masses.

LENOX JRS. WILL NOT GIVE
 WALNUTS RETURN GAME

Sporting Editor of the Farmer: |. The Lenox Jrs.. have decided not to give return game to the Walnuts. as it has been said. The reason for this, is, that the St. James, were refused a return game by the Wainuts. If the Walnuts, will not give return games, it is but right that the champions of the city, the Lenox Jrs., give no re- turn games.
 It has been stated in the papers that the Lenox Jrs., were "Cra bbers,'' but that is just a case of soreness by oth- CTS in the S0- 90 pound class. The Len OK Jrs.. have not been defeated this year, having defeated the Walnuts, St. James, Burr Roads, and the Glen woods, the only Runners Up," in the S0-90 pound class.
 If any of the teams in the city think they have chance for the .'cha m- pionship,' they are mistaken. The Lenox Jrs., wish to play the St. James, Sunday. at Hairs lot Here is a chance for the St. James. Thanking you for your valuable space and hop ing you will put this in your paper, we remain,
 Yours truly,

Michigan C!alms
 Penn Played Diny
Relations Between Teams May be Severed Because of Bad
 Feeling

Ann Arbor. Mich. Nov. 22.-There's likely to be a break between Pennsyl- Vania and Michigan. The action of certain Michigan undergraduates in clanbering aboard the Pennsylvania Special" after Saturdays game and ripp ng red and blue bunting from the nandrails has precipitated the out break, long. feared, over alleged un- sportsmanlike tactics by the Pennsyl- vaiia team. The Wolverines claim that the Quakers were out to get" their star p ayers, by plug-ugiy methods. They say the accident" to Wells was pidhned. The entire student body is up in arms agairst Pennsylvania.
 This morning an editorial appeared Tn the Michigan Daily. It began with the crippling of Schulz, the Michigan centre, in the 1908 game and went on to say:
 '"rhis is football of the kind that has enabled Penn. to beat Michigan. It is not the kind played at Michigan. We draw broad distinction between drill ing team especially to stop Schultz and drilling one to hurt
 Even though this statement be without basis, it nevertheless calls our attention to one style of athletics, style with which we cannot have the ,slightest sympathy. If Pennsyl- vania or any other institution has any such attitude toward intercollegiate contests. we say drop that school from our schedules.
 ''To allow a Michigan team to com pete with team that does not hold to the ideal of c can sport is degrading Michigan and her athletics. Now that the time is approaching to arrange our schedules 1t is time to consider these 1 things.
 'We don't care how great an attrac- 1 tien Penn. teams may provide, we do not care how exciting contests they may furnish; if their methods are not characterized by sportsmanship we want none of them. We want to play the game. We want to play it hard, but If roughness is the game we want to compete under rules applicable to the game. It Is the duty of our athletic authorities to see that unfair teams do not find opportunity to insult our sportsmanship now that the time is approaching to arrange our sched- ules. Let us consider our guests be- fore we invite them. Charges of foul play were made on that tragic day in 1908, but we gave Penn., the benefit of the doubt. Let Penn. now take the

 That old warhorse Bunny Ford was given a fancy trimming last night at Eagles hall by Al Ketchell of this city. Ford is said to have invented boxing in this state and it is claimed that he went on in one of the pre- lininaries when George Washington stacked up against Lord Cornwaliis before the Yorktown A. c. Anyway he knows the fight game backward and forward. The. bout was for eight rounds at catchweights.
 Last night, though, it was a case Of Let him up, he's all cut.'' Ketchell waltzed around Ford distributing wal lops like man throwing away hand bills. But Ford was game. To his credit it should be said that he sell dom backed away. Although his vis- the Hyperion theatre after Gaby Deslys show, the New Haven veteran kept coming back for more. He got it. too.
 Ketchell was too fast and clever. He landed two blows to one for his opponent. He saw early in the strug- gle that Ford's stomach might be likely place for a swat and he fre- quently ripped one to the lunchbasket. The result was that he had Ford guessing. When Bunny expected a slam on the map he received soak in the pantry. Before the eight rounds were over Ford was decorated with gore. Ketcheu was also slight ly cut
 From the ringside it looked as if Ford hadn't trained very hard. He appeared fat Ketchell on the other hand was in fine fettle- and was as lively as a kitten at the finish. Ford did his best work in the second and fourth rounds. He came right back

 Veteran In Ring

at the local boy in those sessions but Ketchell had Ford webbing and the New Haven lad was clinchins at ev- cry opportunity.
 ,,1., The ssni-f,nsl .sa fits., was between Eddie Young o'Gara. The bout wsnt six rounds and a draw Is a fair verdict Both boys were tired in the fifth and sixth. When the pair entered the ring the fans thought it would be cur tains for O'Gara. Kelly had his jaw thrust out and he looked as if he fore breakfast. But that was where Eddie was mistaken. O'Gara was shifty and managed to keep out of harms way. Kelly's aim was so bad that he missed many blows. In the third round Kelly managed to floor O'Gara and the latter saw pink zebras for an instant but the bell came to his rescue.
 Frankie Parrish put 1t all over Young Sniitty in a eix round skit. Smitty is built like the Russian Hon but he wasn't fast enough to keep away from Parrish The latter did his we'll known double shuttle about the ring and swamped Smitty with blows.
 Jack Bevans was obliged to quit in the bout with Young Perrone. Bevans stopped a hard one with his face in the second stanza and then decided he had an important engagement else- where.
 A good crowd saw the bouts, which were under the auspices of the Yan- nigan A. c. Perfect order prevailed throughout. Announcer Harry Whit ing took the covers from several new words that belong in the back of the book. Gene Kelly came in with his hat in his hand. He said he didn't want to take a chance on somebody in the gallery dropping . turnip on the scrambled egg hat.
