SPECIAL train
TO THIS CITY
A. G.. Students and Band will
team to Grand
Forks Saturday.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 3.-'U. N. d. or
bust" was the slogan adopted by the
students at the agricultural college
yesterday when they held a big mass
meeting in the armory II decided to
advance on the institution up the Red
with colors flying and the band play
ing the Yellow and the Green. After
several stirring speeches b.! students
and faculty, Il popular subscription
was taken up with which to send the
band to the game and the only ques-
ton now is whether there Will be
enough students outside of the band,
go along to insure q special train.
There is hardly a doubt that fully 100
students accompanied by the band
will leave on a special train next Sat
urday morning about s o'clock from
the Great Northern depot with n de-
termination to do all in their power
to aid the team in bringing home the
state championship honors and in up
holding the glory and honor of the
"Old A. c."
In spite of the results of last Sat
urday's game the students are still
with their team to a man and they
have the utmost confidence In their
ability as will be expressed by their
action in putting through the special
train proposition to the university. 1t
is said that the university manage
ment Is not going to allow q student
rate for the agricultural college sup
porters but is planning on charging
them the full admission price. so the
students are entering into negotia-
ttons to try for a students rate for
themselves and the Cadet band.
Two years ago the Aggie supporters
and Cadet band made the trip in a
special train to the university and
there witnessed one Of the greatest
games ever staged In the state. The
Aggies were defeated in spite of the
fact that the university did not cross
their goal, by a score of 80. Last
year the university rooters visited
Fargo on the day of the game and this
year the Aggies want to go back
stronger than eve and show the uni
versity and the people of the city Of
Fargo that eve though the team did
lot make a very wonderful showing
on last Saturday, that they are still
behind them to a mar and will not ac-
knowledge any such thing as defeat.

had made a touchdown and a goal.
and the score stood 6 to 6 when the
denouement came.
Fought Toe to Toe.
Those old boys, Cabot and Colbert,
had fought toe to toe the previous
year, when both were picked for the
All-American team for the first time.
That was another fearful battle, in
which Penn also nosed out the GRIM
son, that time by a score of II to IA.
The men put up such a brilliant game
ranked nearly equals, If not the equals
Of Hinkey. Trenchard, Hallowell,
Hartwell. Warren, Cumnock, Stage
and other great ends Who antedated
them. Cabot M Colbert were almost
unanimous selections as the best ends
of that year., and held their honors
bravely through the following season,
when Camp selected them for the Sec
ond time.
Will Talbot and BALM put up such
a great game this year that they will
be selected again for their high post
of honor? That remains for the fu-
ture to tell. or rather for November
IA to tell.
Rooters footing Balm.
At Princeton they are footing Bal
lin to show up Talbot when the two
meet. But will he? Balm is a
great tackle. particularly on defense.
but at New Haven they say he will
have his hands full and then some
when he assails Talbot. There they
expect Captain Talbot to show up Bal
lin.
The difference in style between the
two men Is slight. Talbot is a trife
taller than Balm, but the latter is
a bit more stocky. Balm is regard
ed by nonpartisan observers as some
what faster than Talbot, but not quite
as greatly endowed in brute strength.

BOON TILE BUSINESS
New Company Takes Over Smith
Property Near st Louis
A 100000 CORPORATION
Smith Bros Have Had a Large and Prosperous
Business

The St. Louis Independent of last
week said: "W. II. II. Smith & Sons,
who have been in the tile manufac-
turing business here for many years,
have sold their entire property to a
new firm. The purchasers are J. ].
Middleworth of Duffield, Genesee
county, and +. A. Wheeler of Ohio.
The deal was practically completed
month ago, but matters were not in
shape for public announcement until
last week
The Independent interviewed Mr..
Middleworth i'll regard to the deal
and the plans of the purchasers. The
new firm not only buys the tile bust
ness, but the entire farm and resi-
dences thereon. They will within a
few weeks proceed TO organize a
stock company, to be capitalized at
$4,000. Stock will be offered for sale
to farmers as we'll as other capital
lists, thus making the enterprise in
some degree cooperative Mr.. Mid
dleworth informed us that the stock
any one individual might hold would
be limited, SO that no one could gain
control OF the company by buying up
the stock
Then it is proposed to greatly en-
large the facilities for the manufac-
/ ture OF tile. The Messrs. Smith have
always had larger demand for their
product than they were able to sup
ply and it is apparent that a larger
, investment could very prohtably be
made. Not only will the present
buildings be put in first class condi-
| ton, but new kilns and new driers
and storage facilities provided to meet
the demand for tile The property
affords an abundance of first class
materials for the making Of tile.
The enlargement Of this already
established industry not only prom
lses well in itself, but may be expect
ed to add something to the general
welfare of the city and vicinity.
Lyle Smith informs us that he ex-
poets to locate on his ranch near Sa-
lem, Oregon, next spring, and his
father, w. r. H. Smith, will perhaps
also go west"
