Practice of Oarsmen

ITHACA, n. Y, Nov. 15.---Although
all Of the other universities are hold
ing fall rowing practice for varsity
oarsnen, Coach Charles F. Courtney
has decided TO abandon It. He says
he has done this because of lack of
interest On the part of the varsity oars
men, who prefer TO attend football
games Instead Of going down TO the in
let for practice.
IF there were football games every
DAY in the week the crew men woulC
be at each one OF them" said Court

Fultz Tells of Players Requests
Sos .s+ a.:
Petition in Commissions Hands

employ, that his contract has been
terminated, that he is not under sal
airy, he is forced to remain idle for a
period of ten days unless one of eight
particular teams should want him.
Such a restriction upon a mans
right to earn a livelihood needs no
further comment.
p EQUEST 2---When a player signs
IN a contract, aCCodr1ng to the con-
tention of organized ball he obligates
himself to sign with the same team
the following reason, and so on in
definitely. The player is thus bound
for life, or as long as the magnate
wants him, while the magnate is not
bound for the fraction of a second.
Is the player overreaching, there
fore. If he asks for notice of ten
days before he can be cast adrift ?
Should such men as Dusty Rhodes
and Jake Gettman, who had given
years of service to organized ball, all
the while under contracts binding
upon them, be thrown out of a job,
as they were last summer without a
moments warning?
D EQUEST 3-This request means
N nothing more nor less than that
we want a contract to be a contract.
If the magnate to whom a player is
traded or sold is to change the con-
tract to suit his fancy, as he now does,
the instrument, as far as the player Is
concerned, is worthless. The player
is no incubus upon the owner, the lat
ter always has the right to release
him, and this handicap the players
think is quite sufficient.
Organized ball contends that the
player should not get his contract
salary when he is sold to a lower
classification. This theory would com
pei the players to guarantee a high
degree of skill, which. in the nature

For a Better Mineral Point.

Nearly every modern city has some
slogan; a short pithy statement of the
thing in which the city takes pride and
for which its people unitedly strive.
What is oursg We may not hope to
become a great city, our situation per-
mits of no material increase in factor.
les. in wholesale business. in any Of the
lines which make material growth, but
may we not feel very thankful that we
are permitted to live outside of the
maddening whirl that is engulfing
much that was lovely and of good re-
port in our older civilization and life.
What should be the slogan, what the
main object of town like our2 May
we not be permitted to turn away from
the material side of city growth and
development and look to the mental and
spiritual growth?
What hinders Mineral Point setting
an example to other inland towns?
Beautiful for situation; citizens in
comfortable circumstances with little
poverty or wrGtchedness, vice or crime
to hinder; with strong religious con-
ylctions. crystallized, into churches f;
with good schools and other means
of progress, why may we not take
thought for the things that make for
a better Mineral Point
Let us get together and for form a
City Improvement club: Get all the
good women to join the good men; Sc
cure the aid of schools and school
children and with long pub and a
strong pull and pull altogether boost
Mineral Point for the prize of the best
governed and best behaved city in
wisconsin.
We cannot believe there are any who
would be opposed to such plan by
desiring otherwise. Some may differ
as to method if they do let them come
forth with better plan and we will be
glad to adopt it and boost for better
Mineral Point in any way that seems
best.
But, some will say, are we not good
enough No; not until the highest
standards rule supreme in every place.
Not until our schools have become as
good as modern methods and the best
trained teachers can make them; not
until our library has been filled with
such a profusion of books and papers
that every subject can be studied there.
Not until the city furnish clean, enter
tanning, helpful, instructive amuse-
ment, sufficient for the legitimate needs
of all the youth and Others who require
it, free from commercial or money
making ideas, even of churches anc
lodges. Not until bowling, billiard:
and other clean games are placed un'
der the ceanest possible environment
and freed from the baneful commercial
ism of the present.
Not until manual training and ply
steal culture have taken a prominent
place in the curriculum of the pubic
school.
Not until all delecteroes food anC
drink has been rigidly banished.
Not, in fact, as long as any either
can show us where we can improve.
Let US get together and talk the mat
ter over and choose a plan, then tall
it up and work the plan.
Yours for IA Better Mineral Point.

SNOWBOUND
Unwarmed by any sunset light
The gray day darkened into night,
A night made hoary with the swarm
And whirl-dance Of the binding storm,
AS zigzag wavering to and fro
Crossed and recrossed the winged snow;
And ere the early bedtime came
The white drift piled the window frame,
And through the glass the clothes-line
posts
Looked in like tall and sheeted ghosts.
So all night long the storm roared on;
The morning broke without sun;
In tiny spherule traced with lines
OF Natures geometric signs,
In starry fake, and pellicle,
All day the hoary meteor fell;
And, when the second morning shone,
We looked upon world unknown,
On nothing we could call our own;
Around the glistening wonder bent
The blue walls of the armament,
No cloud above, no earth below
A universe Of sky and snow.
From Whittier's Snowbound.

CHURCH LIFE


week. Doubtless the ideal Sabbath is
that in which everybody can get out and
the churches and school houses are full
of eager and delighted worshipers. But
that 10 poor specimen of Christian
to whom stormy Sunday il spoiled
one. There are other ways of keeping
it besides going 70 public services, and
when the better way is denied us by
conditions over which we have no con-
troll, we ought to fall back readily and
thankfully on the next best.
There are three ways of going thru
the great day of the week. The first is
to ignore its character and the claims
Of its giver to q grateful acceptance
and worthy use. All who do that will
place themselves in the class of desc
orators, whatever particular form of
dssecration they may choose.
The second is to remember it, and
avoid active dissertation, but so spend
it as to make it bore, and miss its
blessings, A good many people who
profess Christianity could not be per-
suaded to indulge in anything secular,
but th ey will only keep it in negative
sense, and make it insufferably dull.
BY ten o'clock a. m. they are yawning,
by three they are sleeping, and after
chores and supper they go to bed. Out
of this class they come by and by into
the company of the desecrators, more
by rule than by exception. And there
il little to choose in their judgment be-
tween ignoring the sabbath and keeping
it in that way. They are miserable un-
der the one thru conscience, under the
other thru sheer sloth and weariness Of
it.
There is third way, which should
occur to any intelligent Christian. A
farmer, and most of US are Of that
class, has his necessary work to do, and
the sooner it is done on hard day the
better. Then let the facts be faced
cheerfully and the conversation 1T the
breakfast table include suggestions a.
to the best use that can be made Of the
hour. A little recess for kitchen duties,
then let all the family, few or many,
gather in the most comfortable way
they can devise. II there is an organ
or piano in the home and members to
play it, and even where there is not, let
some cheerful Christian songs be sung,
not at all in contradiction of but only in
contrast with the day. ''There is Sum
shine in my Soul Today" may be quite
true and may we'll be used. for the
gloomiest or widest day cannot hinder
sunshine in the soul; and this is the way
to scatter physical depression. Plenty
of singing; then prayer, not formal or
apologetic, but rejoicing that, while rain
or snow il fulfilling His word and Sc
curing the blessings of harvest by and
by, we are able to worship as truly ac-
ceptably to God and helpfully to our
selves as if in big congregation. Then
the Sunday School quarterlies, and
study Of the days lesson, and much en-
joyment Of the freedom for conversation
about it which could hardly be given in
. school. More singing, next prayer,
then sermon by Moody or somebody
else in whose preaching we may have
interest. Such are always within reach,
published in little books by the Moody
Colportags Institute, three volumes for
Is cents, or in the public journals.
The afternoon nav we'll bo pNt in with
The Keota news., 1913-12-12

be read aloud for the general benefit.
Let there be liberty to call halt for
discussion, as by such means the bright
ness and advantage are greatly in
creased.
In the evening. at the regular church
hour, another service of song and pray
er and sermon read, and song to finish
until the clock says "bed time"
Now this is not fancy picture. We
have spent Sundays in Colorado farm
homes, with the wind bowling, the snow
flying, the drifts piling up, in just this
way, with utmost delight to everybody.
Try it next stormy Sunday. You will
be ready for week Of care and labor,
school and play, and for the next Sum
days public duties and enjoyments in =
fashion that would be impossible by the
other ways described.
The work set forth in last issue will
now be due without change Of plan, a.
soon az conditions will allow. On ad-
vice from the Scott schoolhouse neigh
borhood, Pastor Oliver will not attempt
q service there on the l4th; but will be
glad to meet all who can reach Keota
for school at 10 a. M, preaching to fol-
low.

to the grain stacks at night to feed.
Tired of rabbits, fried, baked, fricas-
seed and stewed, they are now engaged
in drying hams and making sausage,
and they promise picked jackrabbit
hearts for the Christmas menu. The
Kneebone boys and many others have
been killing rabbits in like numbers.
Regular traffic was resumed with q
train each way on the Burlington last
Tuesday. The roads near town are be-
coming broken, but those farther out
are still well-nigh impossible. Sleds
are the accepted vehicles Of conveyance.
Tom Nelson came in from Pawnee with
a spring wagon Thursday, and was
obliged to make runners for the return
trip. Arthur Kneebone arrived from
Lafayette Tuesday, and being unable to
get word to or from Hightower, walked
out with Clyde Stanley. While away,
Mr.. Kneebone sold his half interest in a
threshing outfit to his partner, VIM.
Waneka ST. MIR. Stanley walked back
to town on Friday, and his trip home
must account for the tardiness of this
issue Of The News.
Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad Moore and two
year old son, who had gone to Greeley
to spend Thanksgiving, were caught by
the storm on the return trip, and were
on the way six days, averaging about
eight miles of travel per day. One mile
of road required an hour and half to
cover it.

ber of horses on pasture. He reports
the loss of three head, and says the
snow was considerably deeper there
than on Pawnee. Fred Nelson is said
to have lost one steer, locoed animal
which could not be run into shelter.
Charles Wynkoop has found only three
dead cows, and they were drowned in a
Pawnee water hole. The herd in his
care is being fed two loads Of hay daily,
and q half sack of cotton cake. which
will later be increased to one pound
per head each day. E. G. Perry is said
to have lost several sheep, out of large
