HURRY UP" YOST, GREAT FOOTBALL COACH,
INVENTS SIX PLAYS FOR CHICAGO KIDS

You know Yost-he's the man VINO
put hurry up in football. Aside
from that he is the most originally
daring and the greatest one man
football coach that eevr won a cham
pionship. He has done more to make
it necessary to recodify the gridiroh
rules than any man that ever coached
a team.
Yost has invented six new plays
under the 1913 rules, especially for
the youngsters of Chicago. He did
this upon request of The Day Book
that the boys, just getting into the
game, might profit by his expert adj
vice.
The first of these illustrated plays,
made from diagrams drawn by Yost,
will be printed Monday, and one will
be printed each day next week. The
team that masters these plays by
Hurry Up" will be equipped to more
than hold its own with rivals.
Yost is famous for his pepper
sauce talk on the gridiron. He is the
man who told the Michigan players:

Oil Notes

CFrom the Allen Hustler)
+. T. Gilmore was in last Saturday
and reported that operation on five
new wells will be begun in the near
future.-One on T. w. Bells farm, 8
miles east; one on Lee Perkins farm,
212 miles north; one IL miles south
on whose farm we are unable to say;
one, p mile west and one on E. T.
Gilmore's farm (Which is to be com
pleted within six months) miles
west of the present we'll.
When these wells (Which surround
the town in nearly all directions) are
sunk the field will have been thor
oughly tested and the amoua. of oil
known.

WHICH END OF A POST?
Experiments Show 1t Makes Little
Difference How Post is Set

Experiments Snow It Makes Little
Difference How Post is Set.
1t is a very common belief among
farmers that a post VIII last longer
if set in the ground the reverse Of
the way it grew in The tree, in other
words, with the butt end up. Ac-
coldHgly one sees many posts, cs-
peciaIly end and gate posts, with
the small end down.
The sqpposition is that sap in
tree is always ascending, or at least
that it is easier for thes ap to 90
up than down Consequently, it is
argued, turning post upside down
tends to prevent the rise Of water,
helps to keep the wood dry and there
fore renders it less liable to decay.
As matter of fact, sap or water
can flow in either direction with
equal facility and the popular notion
to the contrary is incorrect
Careful experiments of the rela-
tive durability of post timbers have
been made by the Ohio agricultural
experiment station and the above
question was considered. one fence
in particular contained 1876 black To-
Gust posts, of which eighty-siX were
set with the top end up, thirty nine
with the top end down, and thirty
one did not show in what position
they were set.
At the end of twenty years, thirty
posts, or ~ per cent were decayed.
OF this number fifteen were top up,
thirteen top down. and four unde-
termined. In other words, one third
of those set top down rotted off,
as compared with only a little over
one sixth of those set top up.
The decay of a post is mostly at
the ground line, since it is there.
that the conditions as to air and
moisture are most favorable to tho
development of rot causing fungi.
Other things being equal, the larger
the post the longer it will last
Inyerting a post often means put
ting the small end in the ground.
and where this is done the time
required to rot it off is less than,
whore the big end is down.
If both ends are equally sound the
larger should be in the ground. II
one end is defective it should be up.
since the conditions above the
ground are many times more favor
able to durability than just at or
below the ground line.-SCientific

other wells between now and January
10. This is the best proof of Mr..
Kurtz's faith in the field. He thinks
he will find plenty of oil and gas, so
will spend large sums of money in
testing the field.
The present well is a reality and
net a fake as recorded by some news

and take it for granted that it is a
wild cat proposition and pronounce it
so.

LAWTON HAS MUCH WATER.
Five Billion Gallons Available for lr-

Oklahoma City, Dec 15.-"Lawton
has in Lake Lawtonka 5000 100000
gallons Of water which it is anxious
to turn into irrigating canals said
Senator ]. Elmer Thomas of that
place, who was here yesterday en-
route to Washington. THE city uses
about 100000 gallons daily, but this
is not sufficient to reduce the amount
in the lake 50 that our irrigating
project would be materially affected
The city is not willing to give the
water to a private corporation, but
will to the federal government, and
We want the government to make
a canal across the military reserve,
a distance of six or seven miles, to
carry the water and then put in
laterals to the north and west of
the town. The plans call for one
unit of $500 acres According to
the governments survey report our
watershed, feeding the lake, is suf-
ficiont to accommodate IL, 600 acres.
At present the lake holds what is
termed in irrigation arithmetic 1900
acre feet, or one foot of water over
that many acres of gound"
