GROWS GRIDIRON HERO
Stafford County Given New Cham
pionship by Akers.

Earl Akers, state treasurer-elect, has
put in a claim for fame for Stafford
county as the producer of more good
football players than any other county
in Kansas. Akers lived in Stafford
county many years and still owns
paper there and he has been looking
up the statistics from other counties
to see if any of them had more foot
ball players than Stafford. Here is the
list of Stafford men who have made
good on well known college football
teams:
Chester Magill, William Jewell.
Earl Tubbs William Jewell.
Clarence Peacock, Ottawa univer-
sity.
Glenn Salmon, College of Emporia-
Clarence Wesley, Southwestern col
lege.
Rex Lear. Southwestern college.
Browlee, captain of University OF
Kansas team.
George Fee, University of Pennsyl-
vania.
The Stafford high school always turns
out a fine football team and when the
Stafford and Pratt high school teams
get together for their annual battle
people go many miles to see the scr1m-
mage. Both teams are made up OF
big brawny young chaps, most Of them
sons of farmers and the alumni of the
colleges are always watching the two
teams to pick up some likely material
for their alma mater.

that was a tremendous success at the

The drawing powers of this great play
are said to be extraordinary and the
characters are portrayed by a superb
company of Metropolitan players.
Jack Roscoe, starring this week in
THE County Fair" is playing a part
which is no doubt the most difficult
to play in any bill which is attempted
H. stock company. When he was
handed the part for study he fatty
refused it, saying he couldn't play it,
but after a little elaboration decided
he would try it. In the first place it
is 80 typewriter pages to memorize,
and the second place he is playing a
pure and prim old maid, and a part
which none but the capable actor, Neil
Burgess, ever succeeded in bringing
out the best of it. However, now Mr..
Roscoe says he will never be afraid of
a mere part to play as he is decidedly
clever in the role and the play is one
of the best seen at the Majestic for
several seasons
