SPRINGFIELD. H., Nov. 22.--ln-

when Judge Robert b. Shirley. in the
Sangamon county circuit court, grant
ed their plea for en- injunction re-
straining the head officers from put
ting into effect the proposed rate in

than a million members throughout
the United States. The head Offices
are located In Illinois.
The complaint made by the "insur.
gents in their arguments that the
proposed rate was passed by the head
camp with less than the two-thirds
vote Is not recognized by the court.
Judge Shirley found that the Modern
Woodmen organization Is In pros
porous state financially. and said that
any rate advance that may be needed
should be made gradually.
Upon the future action OF the head
officers will depend the course to be
followed by the insurgents" In other
pending suits. The decision estab

FOOTBALL
STOUT WINS FROM NORMAL

STOUT WINS FROM NORMAL
A bunch of IFS" put Normal out
of the running in the game with the
Stout Training School at Menom-
onie last Saturday Normal kicked
off to Stout and the latter ran the
ball up to the pedagogues twenty
five yard line, successful forward
passes being largely responsible for
the home teams gains Here Nor
NAL held but the Stout full back
put over all excellent drop kick and
the score was to in their favor
Normal came right back and carried
the ball down to Stout's thirty yard
line and Keith tried a drop kick,
but missed. Stout scored touch
down near the close of the first
quarter, when Normal fumbled near
their own goal.
The referee presented Stout with
their second touchdown. Keith
caught Stout forward pass on the
Normal five yard line. He was
down and the play was all over
when Stout player picked up the
ball and crossed the goal line, but
the referee and dmpire put over a
cold one" on Normal by allowing
the raw stunt to go as a touchdown.
The Normal players protests
weren't given any consideration
whatsomever and the stolen score
was allowed.
Although greatly diheartened by
this treatment the Normal boys
went back into the game, and by a
series of off tackle plays took the
ball straight through from their
own forty yard line to the Stout goal
for a touchdown. Stout scored an
other touchdown, on end runs by
their star player, Anderson, and
considerable help by the umpire in
penalizing Normal. The final score
was "a to in favor of Stout.
This week Normal will play Chip
pewa Falls high school on the local
gridiron. A close and exciting
game is assured.

Association the use of the newly
installed DINNERS" device
through which the electric light cur
rent on any of the stage circuits
the footlights and the borders-can
be regulated gradually from COM
plete darkness to their full brilli-
ancy. At the same time some of
the scenery, which had not as yet
been used in any of the plays, was
put into place, and the different
effects of the lights shown. One of
these, the garden scene, is especi-

ciated as something extraordi binary
in beautiful stage scenery. The
company playing here tomorrow
