Georgetown Eleven Football
Schedule Practically Completed
for Next Fall.

Washington, March a.-With the
time for tho completion of collegiate
football schedules for next season
gradually drawing to a close, George
town University has all but completed
its list of games for the coming grid
iron campaign. as there are but two
open dates, and these arc pending with
Northern colleges. Two >of the teams
that played n very important part II
the football schedule of the West End
ers last sea son will not meet the Hill
top institution during thc coming sea-
son. as the Blue and Gray manage
ment has not arranged games with
either the Army or Lehigh. The rea-
son for these two teams being absent
from the Georgetown schedule during
the coming season Is that the local
management was unable to arrange
a satisfactory date with the Army, and
Lehigh University was unwilling to
play the West Enders Thanksgiving
Dag. as the date comes within the
week of tho Lehigh-L Lafayette game.
The Thanksgiving date has been
filled this season by the Virginia Poly
technic Institute, which team will in
all probability be much stronger
opponent than Lehlgh proved to be
during the last two years. The Poly
technic Institute OF Virginia has been
consistent In putting out good teams
on the gridiron for several years, and
considering the rivalry between the
local university and the Southern
school, the game should be one OF
greatest interest and command atten-
ton not only in this vicinity, but
throughout the entire South, as Il, Will
no doubt have an important bearing
on the South Atlantic championship,
H The complete schedule for next sea-
son will in all probability be an
nounced by Manager Loichot some time
during the week, as the games that
are now pending will no doubt he
finally settled by that time. That
Georgetown should have n schedule
that will prove as great q financial
success as 1t will from the Viewpoint
of the sport itsoIf Is almost certain, as
all the elevens that have been booked
to appear n this city next fall have
a very strong backing in both alumni

National Grange Session

The meeting OF the national body,
Patrons of Iusbandry, is now in ses-
sion at Spokane, Wash, with mem
bers Of the Connecticut Grange IN at
tendance On Friday Of last week, }
a sherwood Of Trumbull reported for
the order II Connecticut, saying that
the growth Of the order had been very
satisfactory although no new oranges
had been formed. He said that the
field is So we'll covered that there are
only a few places where new oranges
could be established TO advantage.
Mr.. Sherwood said that the grange
in Connecticut is working harmon
iously with the farmers Institutes and
the state board of agricultural college
at StorTs and the experiment station.
The state grange is honofed, as one of
its members, l.. IL. Heaey of North
Woodstock, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, national overseer.
In his report Mr.. Healey remarked
that as overseer he might be expected
TO suggest something for the good of
the order. To that he believed that in
matters of national legislation we
should coniine our efforts to those mat
tiers in which every state has direct
interest; thus gaining the Endorsement
and securing the active support of
every patron in each of our state
oranges. Take, for instance, legisla-
ton in favor of good roads. The cen.
sus returns show that in nearly every
case the states having the highest per-
centage of improved roads have the
largest population per miles of road.
Good roads act as retainer TO keep
the boys and girls upon the farm. The
better the roads the nearer our homes
are To the social and business centers.
The value of farm lands is increased
rapidly by improved roads, ranging
from % TO 900 per cent.
Cooperation Is another important
problem for this order to discuss and
determine, The farmer lis getting a
good share of the blame for the high

more people to buy farm produce and
less people To raise it; because false
standards OF living are set up, and
because there is feeling of dissatis-
faction and unrest is no reason why
the blame should be placed upon the
farmer in getting more for the products
ff ha N
taking into account the increased cost
of production, he is getting but very
small profit on his capital invested,
aud only 30 10 40 per cent of what the
consumer pays. To bring producer
and consumer nearer together is pro-
blem worthy of the serious consider
alton of the grange, and Mr.. Healey
suggested that a committee be APP
more especially the methods of doing
business OF the middleman. This
would at least result in campaign OF
education that would enlighlen the
consuming pubhe from the farmers
viewpoint.
Mr.. Healey also spoke with favor OF

high rate of interest on loans, and
