44MY TEAM WILL SHOW WELL
AGAINST BIG COLLEGES
So Says Jim Couiflower, Georgetown Basket
Ball Coach, in Discussing Prospects
for important Games
ward Positions Weak.

and is in a measure why the team failed
to run up more points than it did last
night In the game against Loyola. There
was not a forward In the game for
Georgetown last night who made q point.
Although the forwards are generally de-
pended on for the majority of the points
scored by basket ball team. It is a
remarkable fact that practically none OF
SO far this year has been tossed by a
forward. It cannot be expected that tire
guards and center can hold the other
team In check and keep it from scoring
and at the same time make enough points
themselves to win. It was all they could
barely do last night against a prep
school. and against a big team 1t will
be practically impossible.
Much was expected Of Gibson at the
beginning of the year. but SO far he has
failed to show the fern which made him
one of the best players In the west four
years ago. Barr1scelio. who played the
other forward last night. followed the
ball well and did some good work at
times, but his shots for the basket were
away of. He should improve though, in
that department with little more prac-
tice, as Il was in that he did his best
work last year.
Foley was the only GEORGETOWN for
ward to make a goal last night. He was
playing at guard when he tossed the ball
into the basket.

STU1SMAN corn
TRACTS JUDGED
ONE MAN HAS HlTCHED WAGON
TO 100 BUSHELS PER ACRE
STAR.

JAMESTOWN, Oct. 29.--Ex2ert IL.
F.. Borchert has turned III his report
20 the state Better Farming associa.
ton of the results of his judging of
eleven tracts of corn in Stutsman and
adjoining counties. The results of the
corn growing contest have been mark
ed and excellent.
Bigger and better crops Of corn
S the slogan which the growers have
determined upon and one man has set
100 bushels an acre as his goal to
work to. The results Of the contest
have disclosed this:
Lowest yield 41.9 bushels an acre,
of which 36k per cent matured. High.
est yield 66.16 bushels IN acre, Of
which SIS per cent matured.
The percentage of mature corn waH
held down owing to the excessive wet
weather the latter part Of August and
first OF September. The corn then
should have been maturing, but in.
stead, the growers said, it seemed to
get greener.
Ed. Fond, one of the contestants in
Dickey county, has grown and bred a
yellow dent corn on his farm there
for twenty-eiglt years and In that
time has produced a variety which
very closely approximates the famous
minnesota 49," The seed he brought
with him from Wisconsin t~wenty-eight
years ago and each year since he has
made his own selection and has Sc.
cured very satisfactory returns. He
has secured average yields Of about
IS or more bushels an acre of mature
corn. ....
MI. Borchert says the fields showed
great variation. In some the number
ears an acre ranged as low as 1000
to as high as $4,000 and the methods
of planting, cultivation and care as
we'll as the variety Of seed and It's
terminating strength were clearly
evidenced in the tracts OF cor and
the results secured. The tests have
had high educational value to every
grower.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
At SMALL COST
A Simple Remedy Beauties
the Hair. Cures Dandruff,
Stops Falling Hair.

What a pity it is to see 30 many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and fustre if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is NJ zee
sity for gray hair under sixty-five years
of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg-
ling hair, either full of dandruff or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil.
You can bring back the natural color
of your hair in a few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandrutf and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
atoms common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color of the hair; and Sulphur is recog-
nized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment of hair and
scalp troubles.
If you are troubled with dandruf
or itching scalp, or if your hair is
losing its color or coming out, get a
fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist, and notice
the improvement in the appearance Of
your hair after a few days treatment.

Are You Subject
to Constipation?
Here is a Simple Way Of Correcting
II instantly Before II Becomes
Chronic.

. r"'n#r
Very few people 60 Through, life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. ThOus-
ands injure themselves by the use of
strong c%atllartics, salt waters. pills
and similar things. They have tenn.
porary value i'm some cases, it is true,
but the good effect is soon lost, and
the more one takes of them the less
effective they become. :
A physic or purgative is sekdom nee.
essary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained by
using a scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not
hide behind the name of a fruit or a
vegetable, but is what it is represent
ed to be, a mild laxative medicine. 1t
is so mild that thousands OF mothers
give it to TINY infants, and yet it is so
compounded, and contains such def
mite ingredients that it will have
equally good effect when used by a
person suffering from the worst chron-
ic constipation In fact, among the
greatest endursers of Syrup Pepsin
are elderly people who have suffered
for years and found nothing to benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
II is q fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house, homes like those of Mr.. w.
Bert Skinner, Berwyn, Neb., and Mrs.
J.. H. Durand, Grand Rapids, MINI.
The special value of this grand laxa-
tive tonic is That it is suited to the
needs OF every member OF the family.

MARKET FEELS
EUROPEAN war
CIews Is Of the Opinion That
Peace Nay be Declared
Early In December
Bv HENRY CLEWS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-This market
has suffered from heavy European II.
quotation, precipitated by the Balkan
val That event found some Of the
foreign bourses weakened by exces-
sive speculation, particularly III Aus.
tria and Russia. The strain naturally
fell upon all the foreign financial
markets; and American securities.
owing to their strong position and
excellent future, were obliged to take
the brunt Of the attack. AS is now
well known many millions OF our Sc
curities have been returned to this
side of the Atlantic.
The extent of this movement has
probably been exaggerated, but the
wonder Is that the decline did not oc.
cur when the securities were being
dumped on our market instead of al.
thus making the foreign sci.
lers the gamers at this country's eX.
pense. During the past week further
reactions took place IN this market
to the final distribution by over
sanguine holders who bought while
Europe was selling. -.. o.
For various reasons it would seem
as if the Balkan troubles had almost
exerted their full effect on this mar.
ket. There is no weli.grounded rea-
son to apprehend any grave disturb
ances between the great powers re-
sulting from the Balkan outbreak. The
recent reverses to Turkish arms have
naturally had a determined effect, In
asmuch as they weaken the latter's
prestige and tend to l%engthen the war.
But the time is rapidly approaching
when hostilities will have to be sus
