COLLEGE Goes IN
FOR ATHLETICS
Executive Committee at Angus
tana Decides to Engage a
Director.
BE MEMBER OF FACULTY
Some of the Leading Men in the
Work Under Consideration
for the Place.

The executive committee of the
board of directors of Augustana col
lege at a meeting held last night de-
cided to hire an athletic director for
next year who would supervise work
in all lines of sport activity. The
board desires TO put a man in charge
of athletics at Augustana who would
be able to coach the basketball,
track and baseball teams and at the
same time be a member of the fac
ulty.
Several we'll known athletes of
some of the leading universities and
colleges of the middlewest and east
are under consideration. One of the
most promising candidates for the
new position is c. r. Conrad, former
ly Of Earlham college. Richmond,
Ind, and now in charge of the ath-
letic department of the Des Moines
Y. VI. c. A. Conrad is we'll known
athlete and is considered by many TO
be one of the best all around ath-
letes in the United States. He is
especially strong in basketball and
track. While at Earlham he played
on the college baseball team four
years. He is therefore fully quail
fed TO take up coaching work at the
Lutheran institution. AS ira
man il would be hard 10 find his
superior in the country. He has COW
cred the century in 9 AS seconds and
the 22O in 81 1-5 seconds. equaling
the rnllnOfafa rnnnrd aF
States in these events. Besides be-
ing proficient in the dashes he has a
record in the broad jump OF % feet
10 inches and has cleared the bar
pole yaulting at a height of II feet
l rs inches. The students at the
college are hoping that the board will
succeed in securing the services of
this man for next year, as it will
boost athletics at the Lutheran
school fully 100 per cent.
TRACK MEET SATURDAY.
Augustana will run of its first
home track meet of the year on Eric
sson field next Saturday afternoon,
when the local cinder men will match
strength and speed with Hedding.
Under the tutelage of Professor Peter
| Benzon, the local collegians have
been working diligently for the past
few weeks. Coach Benzon is enter
tanning fond hopes that Augustana
will capture the meet Saturday.
The Lutherans will be in much better
condition than when they met Will
liam and Vashti two weeks ago, when
they had only been in training a
weeks time

Farming and Grit.

Making a living on a farm does not
consist solely in sucking in ozone, roll
ing in blossoming clover, and picking
pears. There is a crop of bisters,
backaches. muddy boots, washouts,
bugs, and droughts One never makes
a change in life without giving up some
things he likes and taking some he
does not like. He must strike bal
ance, 90 where he finds the greater
good, and bear with grit and patience
the unpleasant part The city man
who has not pluck should stay in the
shop or desk, for on the farm he will
find a life-size environment that will
hit him with appalling regularity on
every soft spot he owns. He may
resent slowness. physical tiredness,
inconvenience, stiffness. Getting back
to the land is profitable, pecuniarlg
and spiritually, only to those who care
more for independence than for steam
heat and granitoid walks; or think
more of health than of musical com
edy; or would rather accumulate a
competence for their old age than have
the privilege of street ears and jostle.
The successful farmer must be willing
to work until his muscles get sore, and
then work until they get strong; to
learn of simple folk, and be neighborly
with people who have lived in a differ
ent way; to wait for seed time and
harvest. Also he must be able to for
get the amusements he has left behind
and the annoyances he has found, until
the slow current of country life gets
hold of him, and the sweet spirit of
the open places envelops him. Then
he will have found a home, and the
land will have found one more man to
feed the nations. Golfers Weekly.

in their business methods. They keep
open their shops until 10 o'clock at

which leaves them practically no profit.

JOHN D. FIGHTS
SAN JOSE SCALE

John d. Rockefeller. according to a
dispatch from Tarrytown, N. Y, has a
small army of foresters at work on his
Pocantico hill estate trying to save his
apple orchard For three years the
trees have failed to produce normal
crop and tree doctors recently found
that the San Jose scale was respon-
sible.
Immediately Mr.. Rockefeller made
arrangements to have the trees treat
ed and today the men are at work
scraping the bark and removing the
scale. Mr.. Rockefeller himself takes
great interest in the work, spending
long time each day watching the
progress made.
The surplus supply from the Rookie
feller orchard is sent annually to New
York hospitals. MIR. Rockefeller is a
great lover of trees. He never per-
mits one to be cut down, and trans
plants more than any nan in the

Low DEATH RATE
SHOWN BY CENSUS

According to Census Bureau statis-
tics the death rate in the United States
for 1910 was Just about eleven in a
thousand of population, which is
pretty good showing. Ibis is a fairly
healthy country even as things are and
it will be healthier when we have
learned to eat pure food and avoid con
taminated air, milk and water. No
doubt the impure air which we habitu-
ally breath causes more deaths than
any other one thing, but bad water
makes a goud second and poisonous
food is not far behind the twain.
Compared with these allies of the King
of Terrors old King Aichoho is an in
nocent angel, though he has plenty of
sins to answer for.
The old rule that the unmarried die
off faster than the married was not
broken in 1910. The deaths of unmar-
ried persons outnumbered the married
in this country by about 100, 600. The
gre. ter longevity of the latter is at
tributed to the comforts of home,
especially home cooking, perhaps.
Mothers pies and salt rising bread
keep father in good health far beyond
the time when miserable old bachelors
are obliged to pass in their checks.
In 1910 more males than females fin
ished their earthly careers. The ex-
cess, ir fact, was almost l00,0 0e0, which
was pretty nearly the same as that of
the deaths of celibates over the mar
ried. This is another instance where
the established rules of mortality were
followed. Insurance statistics show
that a mans chances of life at a given
age are less than a woman's though
there is a period in middle life when
the proportion is reversed. 1t is said
that men expose themselves to more
hardships than women and incur so
many more dangers that the result tells
apprecably on their prospects of sur
vival at any fixed age. 1t is a curious
circumstance that, in spite of this
well-known truth, the insurance com
panies declined to take women as risks
for smaoy years after they accept
men freely.
The deaths from tuberculosis in 1910
outnumbered those in 1909 by more
than 1000. 1t will be interesting to
learn in due time whether the war
against the great white plague has
reversed this proportion in 1912.

AMERICAN APPLES
GROW in POPULARITY

The consular agents Of the United
Safes grow wide awake TO the great
chances of the American apple to be
sold in Europe at high prices. Consuls
Mahin at Amsterdam, Flemming at
Edinburgh and Washington at Liver
pool now add their expressions Of
opinion to those previously published
from American commercial agents at
other European emporiIms.
American apples ENJOY popularity in
England. They are sold there sun
dried. fresh or evapoFated, and even
cores and skins are purchased. Fresh

packed in barrels Of l50 pounds each,
sold at Amsterdam ON December 4,
1911, for $500 to $3.50 the barrel.
these prices including the al valorem
duty of 3 per cent.
Scotland buys practically all its
apples from Ameriea and Canada
American cased apples, as the New
towns of Oregon and the apples of
Wenatchee, are purchased from Amer
lean shippers through brokers at Lon
do. American apples enjoy two advan-
tages over Canadian apples. Fresh
apples from one section or another of
the United States are exported at
practically all seasons. Apples from
California. Idaho, Maine, Michigan,
New York, Oregon and Washington
excel the best commercial grades pro-
duced elsewhere. American apples in
barrels wholesale at Edinburgh sell
for from 81 92 or S3.40 TO So. 50 or S5. So
the l20 pounds Cased apples range
from 81 50 the 3S pounds wholesale to
S401 the 81 pounds. Il is to be under
stood that the lowest and the highest
prices respectively refer to the poorest
and the best kinds of apples.
Liverpool is the leading port for the
importation of American apples.
