FOOTBALL TRAINING DID 1T.

We have all heard of the advantages
of manliness, strength, en-
durance, pertinacity and the like.
a more practical advantage of foot
ball training was demonstrated in St.
Louis recently. A former star of the
gridiron was standing beside a police
man. Suddenly the attention of both
was drawn in the same direction and
both spied three 81 bills. Who got
them?
Well, the star made one lunge just
as if the bills were a real pigskin,
lit in heap on top of them and re-
covered said bills without a tumble
The policeman, who had never had the
advantage of football training, came
out of the dust with the complaint
that it was an .off-side play" but re
ceived no satisfaction from a protest
to the chief.

VIEWPOINTS
Should a Man Be an Athlete!

Editor the Missourian:-Doe it pay
to be a college athlete?
There has been much discussion of
the subject. The question is a hard
one to answer because so much de-
pends on the individual. If man en-
ters college only to show his athletic
ability, then it will not pay him to
be an athlete, for his years at school
will be wasted. The helplessness of
some men who make athletics their
sole business causes them to be fail
ures after leaving school. But the man
who makes athletics secondary to edu-
cation is not harmed, but benefited
to make up for what he misses from
books during the season of the sport.
He sees the value of quick thinking,
quick action and determination, and
later he applies them to his business
affairs.
1t is true that many athletes die
young, but these are mostly those who
do not live proper lives after their
usefulness on the field has passed.
Think of the old college athletes you
have known and you will remember
few who are real failures or who have
died young.
Schools have athletics because they
know that bodily development should
go with mental development. Without
football, baseball, basketball and track
it would be hard to keep up interest in
| the milder forms of exercise which
benefit so many. Furthermore, We
must have good athletes to have win
ming teams, and it takes winning teams
to arouse the greatest interest in the
major athletics. For this reason it be-
comes a duty for the capable man tC
represent his school, provided he car
do so without any detriment to himself
We must have athletics. and the mar
who does not make this his sole bust
ness will never be the worse for hav
ing represented his school on the field
If he uses good sense, the athlete
can benefit himself and others. B

At LAST!

At last Governor Ammons of Colo
RADIO has come out with the statement
that the killing of three mine guards
and one striking miner recently in the
Colorado mine strike situation is the
worst sort of murder"
Luckily the governor has hit the
nail square on the head. His state
ment seems to show that he realizes
there is some little disorder in the
mining districts, in which a few sher-
ifs in doing their duty and a few strik-
ing union men have been killed or in
jured., Perhaps before long the gov
ernor will begin to make preparations
to quell this disturbance.

MORE ABOUT MEXICO.

Is the United States on the verge of
another war? For some months past
the republic" of Mexico has been
creating a disturbance to the south of
us and Mexico doesn't seem able to
stop it. Huerta has taken the office
of president into his safekeeping. but
the people refuse to have him for pres
ident and he refuses to abdicate un-
less he can name his successor.
OF course. We can say that it is no
business of the United States, if the
MeXicans cannot get along without
fighting among themselves. But for
eigners who live there both Americans
and others, are endangered. Trade re-
latiOns with other countries are dis
turbed. Such an unsettled condition
of government in Mexico affects all
other countries.
There is another condition that
forces this government to take action
European countries are clamoring fol

HOW A CITY WENT TO CHURCH.

Joliet. Ill., went to church Sunday.
At least. 10000 persons are estimated
to have heard sermons then. Early
Sunday morning members of the Co
to-Church Day" committee called at
every home in the city and reminded
the occupants that the day was at
hand. The result was crowded church
es.
Newspapers, business men and
preachers, regardless of their denOm-
ination joined in the campaign. Those
who were unable to find seats in a
given church were sent to neighbor-
ing churches.
There are regularly 10000 church
goers. The attendance was increased
10000 Ministers believe that the per
manent increase will be at least ,;
per cent.

sCORNS A PUMPKIN-LESS TOWN
Man Arrested in Box Car 'Clears Out
on Learning of Scarcity.

Patrolman D. H. Rowland Tuesday
night picked up man sleeping com
ortably in a box car in the NJ. X. & I.
yards. The man gave his name os
George Hardaway.
At police station he explained to the
officers that he always travelled as a
guest of the road, not because he
wanted to go any place in particular
or because he enjoys it, but because he
loved pumpkin pie and had to have
the pumpkins fresh.
He said he had earned the nickname
of Pumpkin Pete" He had heard
that pumpkins were plentiful here but
on arriving learned of the shortage
and had already made preparations
to leave town. His excuse was so
original that on promise to clear OUT
at once he was released.

to yield. But the United States stands
behind the Monroe Doctrine and keeps
them out. Hence it is up to this Gov
ernment to handle the situation.
The United States has advocated
peace in the past. Let us hope that the
Government officials will be wise
enough to find some way out of the
difficulty without bloodshed.

GRAPES AND SAWDUST

Choice California; rapes are now
coming to the dealer packed in
redwood sawdust. Another waste
product has thus been turned into a
wealth producer.
The sawdust, which accumulates
in such large quantities about lum-
Der camps as to be a positive detri-
ment, is now found to be worth
money to the fruit men, being con-
sidered as efficient in protecting
gaapes as the powdred cork in which
Spanish grapes are packed. The
luscious punches are placed between
layers of the sawdust, which settles
about each berry. keeping them
from rubbing against each other and
acting as cushion to preserve them
from Earring.
This is the second season in which
the new packing has been used to
any extent in California, and the
test has now passed the experiment.
al stage and is declared to be COM
mercial success.
From the county of San Joaquin
alone there are shipped more than
$500 carloads of table grapes every
year: in the past the loss from de-
cay has been so great as to cut
largely into the profits. By the
new method this loss is minimized
and top notch" prices are obtained
because of the perfect condition of
the punches.
Recent New York market returns
mention a price of $2O22 for a car
load of Emperors. Fourteen car
loads of redwood packed grapes
brought $24, 453. 81 the past season,
and large part of this handsome
sum must be credited to the despised
redwood sawdust.

A TROUBLESOME "ALlEN"

The state college is now receiving
numerous letters from persons seek
ing information as to how the Can
ada thistle may be destroyed. Upon
this subject DR.. Ira D. Cardiff, head
of the botany depart ment, issues tbs
following letter:
The name Canada as applied
to this thistle is very misleading.
The plant is not native to North
America at all but was introduced
from Europe, and like other aliens,
when it gets into possession of our
agricultural lands, causes US trouble.
This plant is propagated both by
seeds, which are very numerous and
easily distributed by the wind, and
by underground root stocks which
have numerous shoots, both leafy
and Towering. I would suggest
that the weedy land be plowed deep
during the summer, before the plants
seed; in fact, just about the time
the flowers open. ct would per-
haps facilitate the work to first NOW
the rlants.) Then by repeated
cultivation with broad sheared cul-
tivators for several years, the plants
can be cut down. It has been found
in some parts of the country that
the best method of cropping to get
rid of Canada thistle is three-year
rotation of crops, one of which
should be red clover.
The farmers cannot give too
much attention to the question of
the eradication of this and other
noxious weeds, which annually cause
untold losses to the country. Weeds
are increasing both III number and
variety at an enormous rate"

high state of cultivation, watered
by 25- horsepower pumping prop
