Tigers Fight Hard to End.

This touchdown was the measure be-
tween the two elevens. as Captain Hog
sett failed to kick the goal. The Tigers
worked desperately from that point to
the end, but. while two chances came to
even up the score, and possibly to win.
the men could not rise to the call.
Within the last three or four minutes
Captain HOBBY Baker shot four or hve
forward passes around in sheer despera-
ton. but the wet ball and soggy field
operated against their success, even II
the Dartmouth defence had not been all
sufficient. So ended an interesting game.

furnished as TO the true power and aoii-

These openings came. as fumblings there

had three good chances to strike and

victory. The Princeton team had three
equally good chances to score. but lacked
the offensive punch or fImbled them

Making due allowances, then, for condi-

Four hundred undergraduates came all

like a huge patch OF dandelions In early

that they would not balk where their fell

Up near the top of the stand sat Dave

Denver with his wife to see this particu-

How Touchdown Was Scored.

Llewellyn, who alternated with Chico
at quarterback, scored the touchdown for
Dartmouth in the second period. One Of
Giles punts was blocked, and Llewellyn
fell on the ball at Princeton's Z3-yard lire.
Failing 10 gain more than six yards in
three sharp thrusts at the Princeton line
Captain Hogsett dropped back for try
az goal from the field. He had plenty OF
time. but the heavy slippery ball hardly
left the ground, but by quick dive he re-
covered ii himself on Princeton's 25-yard
line.
Then began an assault which Princeton
could not check. Whitney and Curtis
sliced in here or plunged in there for
short gains OF from two to six yards Yin.
Ill the ball was carried to the fve-yard
line. Then the Princeton defence stiff
ened, and not an inch was gained in two
plunges. On the next play. however.
Whitney fairly hurled himself along for
what looked like sure touchdown, but
just as he went over the line the ball
slipped out Of his arms At this critical
moment the tickle goddess turned her
back on the Tigers, and some quick, vigil
liant Dartmouth man fell on the ball af-
ter the wild scramble on Princeton's one
yard line.
II was the fourth down. and the Tigers
braced themselves for another assault
into the line on Dartmouth's last chance.
Llewellyn. with active brain and sharp
perception, saw a chance TO cross his OPP
ponents, and. acting without a moments
hesitation, sent his backs into the line,
but dashed around Princeton's left end
himself practically unmolested, and
planted the ball directly behind the goal
post. The Princeton end was drawn In.

Farm Sale Advertising.

The Abba Republican tells of 9
farmer there who spent $25 adver.
tising his public sale, which is
about four times the amount usual
ly spent. The result was that the
sale brought him over 500 more
than his highest estimate, so he
thinks that it was money well spent
Farmers are just beginning to learn
the value of liberal newspaper adver.
tising for public sales.
A few dollars spent in advertise
ing in the local paper will be read
by ten times as many people as read
the bills which cost nearly as much
as the advertisement and therefore
is much better investment. We
would not advise the dropping of the
sale bill, but 1t should be supple
mented by some vigorous newspaper
advertising.

Young Men i'm Politics.

This is the day of the young man
in business and the professions.
Hoary headed city fathers are found
consulting deferentially some downy
faced engineer from technical
school. Graybeards wait in the an
terooms of highly educated but
youthful medical specialists.
High political success for young
men is still rather unusual. Some
surprise is expressed that John Pur-
roy Mitchell, newly elected mayor OF
New York city. is but "a years old.
Alexander the Great conquered
the known world before he was 29.
Mozart at Is was called the greatest
musical composer. But politics is a
game where neither energy, enthusi-
asm, courage or professional educa'
tion in schools iG enough.
To win large success in politics, a
man must have an almost uncanny
instinct for estimating the way
things will strike the average man
This comes from political experience
The most brilliant business leaders
may utterly fail here. 1t came to
the personal knowledge of the wri-

THE FARMER OF TO-DAY.
Broader Social Life on the Farm
Makes Him Very Different
Man Than q Few Years
Ago.

A few years ago the popular con-
Reuben, who wore a tously beard,
never put on clean collar and bill
ed shirt except Sunday, who said
"b' gosh" with great frequency, and
spat on the floor of his own home
when mother wasn't looking.
The farmer of today is very diff
ferent looking kind of fellow OF
course the rise in price of food pro-
ducts and in land values has put
many farmers In more secure po-
sition financially, where they can
branch out into the graces of life.
But other agencies have been at
work. Prominent among them are
the National and subordinate gran
ges, which are now holding their an
nual convention at Manchester, n.
H.
The annual reports of this organi-
zation make an impressive showing.
You hear about cooperation in buy
ing and selling, legislation secured
and advocated, good roads, better
country schools, etc. But some of
the most notable results are intangi-
bic, not to be tabulated in figures,
nor set forth in annual specifying.
One of the best results has been
broader social life for the farm
home. Time was when most farmers
went to bed every night at eight, or
at the worst nine o'clock. 1t was
not so much that they were tired, as
that there was nothing interesting
to make it worth while to keep
awake.
When the oranges established a
pleasant meeting at the cross roads
hall. with congenial amusements and
stimulating discussion, they struck
blow at the worst of all obstacles
in the way of agricultural advance,
the loneliness Of the farm.
Keen observers of country people
say they are dressing much better
and appearing far neater and more
stylish than they were 10 years ago.
Social life always works that way. II
Reuben has got to go down to
Grange hall and make a speech, the
old flannel shirt won't do.

ADJOINING, for, within few hours of
declaration Of war, it is planned
that all the Mexican cities along the
southern border Of the United States
must be occupied by American
troops. Thus the first fighting
would probably fall on Gen. Bliss.
One telegram, for instance, would
cause several great guns to boom
from the hills behind Ell Paso, Tex.
that is, if the Mericans refused to
surrender Juarez without a fight
Over the roofs of the eight-story
skyscrapers of Ell Paso, over the Rio
Grande and into the brick and dobe
city of Juarez would fall the Ameri-
can shells. Ell Pasoans say that
these big guns nave been hidden in
the hills behind their town for two
years.
In half an hour it is planned,
1000 soldiers of the I'd and 18th
cavalries from Fort Bliss could
cross the Rio Grande-whether
Mexicans blow up the two bridges
or not-and possess Juarez, which is
the terminal of great transconti-
mental Mexican railway leading to
chihuahua and Mexico City.
There are four other regiments of
cavalry along the Rio Grande, and
upon them, as the plans run, will
rest the responsibility of seizing such
, large Mexican towns as Laredo, the
! terminus of another great Mexican
railway; Piedas Negras, another ter
minus, and lesser border places, in
cluding dingy Tia Juana on the Pa
cific coast, south of San Diego.
Under Generals Carter and Bliss,
therefore, in the first move planned
for a Mexican war game, there will
be about 5000 men.
About $1,000 men, however, are
available Immediately for an army
in Mexico, and some of the earliest
movements in the war department
plans provide for rushing $4,000
men to the gulf of Mexico for trans
portation to Vera Cruz and into
! Mexico via the transcontinental lines
at Laredo, Eagle Pass and Ell Paso.
Miiitiamen, too, are included in
the army plans. There are about
2,400 miles of American borders
that must. be protected from gueril-
las and rowing bands of Mexicans
who may spill out of their own coun.
try if American troops enter it, and
| it will be the task of perhaps $780,
600 militiamen to keep the border
cities on both the American and
Mexican sides safe and quiet and al
so TO prevent smuggling of arms and
ammunition.
In the Rio Grande campaign the
plans provide for several important
battles. The biggest of these-so
