Field Is Shortened.
; Shortening OF the field also made il inn
peIative that on touchbacls that tho ball
be put into play from the 2o-yard line
instead 90 the 25-yard line. This. too.
is a concession to the attacking side.

five yards nearer the goal which IL
had been striving to make than If un-
der the old rules. All of which seems
to make for better foot ball
The value of a touchdown has been
increased to six points instead OF five.
Thus it will be impossible for IA team
with good field goal kicker. by MAX
ing two field goals against one touch
down, to beat an opponent In the
future the best that two field goals can
do will be to tie one touchdown. Two
touchdowns will beat three Held goals

which is not so well equipped with n
drop kicker az its rival.
Tho position al field Judge was abol-
ished partly from matter OF economy
The smaller institutions felt that they
were taxed rather heavily to pay for
four officials at each game.
The rule makers decided that II
bounding kick should not score field

an outcome to a well played game as
that which took place between Dart
mouth and Princeton in 1911. when
Princeton won because the ball, lifted
by an obstruction, bounded over the
goal bar.
While it may take actual play to
ascertain thoroughly how the changes
which are made at the meeting Will
work the intent of the committee
seems TO have been excellent, and So
far as il is possible to look into the
future the amendments are likely To
produce q game in which there shall
be less handicap for the team which
is really superior to another in the
fundamentals of the sport

manage clubs this season.
Within ten years the Athletics OF l'lo
and 1911 may be looked upon as the Old
Baltimore orioles area college for man
ayers.
From that Oriole crowd came Jennings
and McGraw and number of others
whose success was not as pronounced as
that Of the aggressive "Muggsy and
the red-headed Hughie.
The players of the Oriole team who
later became managers carried with
them the spirit Of the Baltimore club
Jennings and McGraw have taught their
men the same fighting spirit that was
the principal stock in trade of the
Orioles. And as Jennings and McGraw
were aggressive scrappers so are Davis
and Hartself disciples of creed directly
opposite
Jennings and McGraw are fighters from
the drop of the hat: Mack is peaceful
reserved and a diplomat at all times.
The pupils of Mack will carry that same
plan of base ball campaign that the tall
and slender McGillicuddy has chosen to
follow all these years.

eastern Europe eat it habitually, be-

small, and so long as the doses Ne reg

customary to give 1t to horses and dogs

-,.recHANT AND HOME
TRADE.

..t;a Mountaineer: The
nstsineer has had q good deal
g about the question of pat
mo home merchants and
'sd;ne up the local community.
y believe our position on this
.t;on is absolutely sound, and
every consumer has a direct
.oral interest in spending his
nav at home. At the same time
hslieye that the local merchants
.s,ld exert every possible effort
make it desirable and profit
III far the consumer to buy in
heal stores. The country
srehant cannot depend altogeth-
mon the loyalty of his Gus
,smers to retain his trade. If he
4 hold up his end he must
rske a study of outside competi-
I'm and plan to meet it. He
mt be alert to the needs and
~snts Of his trade and have on
ina the goods that his custom
g wish to buy. Trade is like
r,ter in that it naturally follows
limo of least resistance. and
EAat line invariably leads to the
,ore where reliable merchandise
handled and where the custom
i is sure Of receiving courteous
|ueatment, prompt service and
|rght values for the money he
amends. The merchants of Koos-
Ria are endeavoring to serve the
oeople in the best manner posi-
|bh. They carry the lines best
|alted to their trade and in every
instance keep the prices down to
a fair recompense for their labor
|snd capital invested. The more
trading done in the home town
|he better it will be for merchant
and consumer. The merchant can
carry a greater assortment of
Foods, and make a better price,
when he knows an effort is be-
ing made to keep home trade at
home 1t is unfair to go into
country store and tell the mer-
chant how much cheaper you can
buy some article In a big depart
ment store two thousand miles
away. This paper has always
that trading at home
j the way to build up a commun-
ity, and we can't see how anyone
can look at this proposition in
any other light. If you can buy
cheaper in Sites than you can
IN Kooskia, go to Sites; if you
can buy cheaper in Kamiah than
you can in either Sites or Koos-
Ela, go to Kamiah. Keep the
money in the community and it
will result in benefit to all. Send
i away and no one is benefited
except the biggest of all big
rusts-the eastern department
