The work of organizing Is pTc
crossing rapidly. During the wecl

liaries have bcea formed At
Arlington
there Is an active village improve

some fine work by way OF building
side walks. lighting and improving
streets, etc. Now they are going 10
raise funds for the Improvement oi
their roads and Ia addition the men
viii be asked 70 come with their
wagons, spades, ploushs aud other
implements 10 help improve the
roads This Is an idea worthy OF
widespread imitation II 5000 or
5000 people could get out and
spend day or two on the roads
along with the work the state and
towns are doing In the County. the
road problem would be a long way
toward solution. How much better
II would be IL every one would help
In this way and what good and beau
tlful roads would be built. Let
every one stop entering complaints
and go to work cooperating with
town officials In this matter.
The meeting at Arlington was re-
preventative Of theworkers and pub
lie spirited citizens of that place
Those present expressed their inter
est in the larger work Of the County
and their willingness TO cooperate.
Manchester Center
had meeting In the Opera House
Saturday evening. Most OF the peo-
pie signed the book that was pass
ed for the purpose Of securing mem
bers. Later these will meet TO form
local village Improvement association
at Manchester Center. There are
able and willing workers at the
Center and the organization there
should do much for the improvement
of the village. Those present from
Manchester Depot thought best TO
have local organization at the De
pot. The three villages Manches-
ter, Manchester Center and Man
chester Depot can have an Execu-
tive Committee composed of repre-
sentatives Of all three villages to
plan, proceed and develop commun'- :
ty improvement and conditions.
The Farmers
are asking where they are coming in
and rightly so. The work of organ
ization is at present confined to the
villages because the farmers are
busy. Later on efforts will be made
to organize every neighborhood and
to get In touch with Oranges to CO.

CAMPBELL FINDS
 ENCOURAGEMENT
Turner Goes to Baltimore Today to Arrange
 for Club
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, February 3-(Speclal.)-E K. Campbell of Birmingham, who has been in Washington for two days, left for home tonight.
 'T am glad to state that I find every derwood for President in Washington, said MT. Campbell
 'The sentiment Is all right in Ala bama It is about unanimous, and l be- lieve that before the meeting of the na- tional convention several other states will be ready to give him their united sup port.
 "All we need to nominate and elect Un- derwood is to back him up with posi- tive initial support from the south. If the essouth is too timid to ask for its rights, the other part of the country will not be disposed to force it on us. We have the right man to put forward. the time is ripe. conditions are excep- tional and l believe that we will win. It all depends upon our own people,"
 Oscar Turner. who was in Washington tomorrow to arrange for the accommo- ddton or the 2vvo Underwood boosters that he expects to carry to the conven- tion from Alabama and to look after some other details MT. Turner is full of enthusiasm oyer the prospects of MT. UHderwoods nomination.
 "The democrats of Tennessee are again reunited and will bring up a solid sup port for all democratic nominees from state to nation." said Mayor Hillery l.. 1f f. x.,l,. ington today. While Mayor Howse is not yet prepared to say what Tennessee will do in choice for presidential nominees, he declared that Underwood sentiment is strong and is growing rapidly in the state.

Field Judge Eliminated

The field judge is eliminated. The head l.nesman hereafter will keep time and be
 Judge of otfside plays in the linelof scrin- age.
 The number of men allowed on the side
 lines. now three, will be reduced to one
 for each team.
 Provision will be made that d bounding Fall cannoe score d legitimate goal. The interval between the first and sec ond and tie third and fourth periods is iieduced froIn two minutes to one minute. E. K Hall of Dartmouth, chairman of tilo committee announced the substance Of these changes 70 newspaper men to- night. None of them has been put in code form, but Chairman Hall said that they were all unanimously adopted and would be incorporated in the 1912 rules. committee was named to codify tine rev rules and instructed to have them
 ready as soon as possible that they might be circulated and studied before the practice season begins. This commIs- tee includes Walter Camp of Yale, Percy Haughton of Harvard. It was said the changes adopted were the work of TO one individual.
 The principal improvement expected of the new rules is equalization of the chances Of the offensive and defensive teams. It has long been contended that the defense was too powerful and par ticularly when close to it's goal line. The allowing of 8 touchdown on forward
 pass across the goal line is expected greatly to relieve this condition. The
 addition of a point. to the value of a
 touchdown is intended to make the com
 parative values of the touchdown and
 the goal from the field substantially what
 they were before recent high development
 of the latter play.
 In considering the addition of an ex-
 tra down the question arose as to whether
 it would not bring back the old pounding
 attack. but the committee felt that 1t
 was not likely to have that tendency in
 view of he fact that there was now no
 pushing and pulling in the game. One of the minor changes will be pro-
 vision that the loser of the toss at the commencement of the game will have his choice at the start of the second half as to whether his team shall kick off. The committee adjourned tonight. Members of the committee in discuss ing the new rules further elucidated the extension of the forward pass territory 10 yards beyond the goal line. At the present time the ball is dead when fl crosses the goal line on a forward pass. Under the new rule it will be allowed to cross the goal line and become a touchdown if the ball is recovered by the offensive team and placed on the ground. In the case of intercepted for
 ward passes within the 10 yard zone touch back would result.
 The general effect of the changes, said
 one Of the committeeman, will be ten
 dency "to play the ball instead of the player"
