fine Judgment of dramatic values

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 14.-"The ne
gotiations for peace between organ

lowing this peace in baseball will
come. This latter, however, is by no
means certain, but we are hoping for
great things, and they seem probable"

Oklahoma Defeats Aegies.

Manhattan, Kans., Nov. 14.-Playing
aggressive football replete with spec
tacular plays, the University of Okla
home easily defeated the Kansas State
Agricultural school yesterday 80 to 10.
Oklahoma consistently gained
ground with trick plays and forward
passes, while its opponents at critical
moments seemed unable to pass the
ball successfully or to withstand line
charges. The only Kansas touchdown
was made in the third quarter after
two successful forward passes.
In the last period Oklahoma rolled
up twenty-seven points, while the Ag-
ricultural team gained only three, Ag-
new kicking a goal from placement.

lieves the suit in attachment could be
brought in the courts at Dubuque,

Day has stock in Iowa corporations of
the total valuation of $4,000 and he
asks for authority to levy against
this. The receiver suggests TO the
court that if il were necessary to bring
suit in the state of New York it would
be at a great loss to the bankrupt con-
Germ, attorneys fees and travelling eX-
penses being taken into consideration.

STATE DA|RYMEN
AT PEORIA FEB. 3
Some Features of Abandoned
Short Course Will Strength
en- Problem.

The next annual convention OF the
Illinois State Dairymen's association
will be held in Peoria Feb. 3. and D.
The meeting. display room, cattle ex-
hibit and, in fact, the whole conven-
ton will be assembled under one roof.
The Coliseum has been engaged, and
the plans are to have three days or
lectures and demonstrations that will
include all branches of the industry.
The plan contemplated two days
meeting at the University of Illinois
during the short course in January.
The State Dairymen's association had
arranged the program for Jan. 20 and
81 during the short course; but 1t has
been decided to abandon the latter
this year. The danger of carrying liz
lection of hoof-and-mouth disease to
the university herd and other stock
is the reason for abandoning what has
been known as the corn growers and
stockmen's convention, and which this
year was to add the dairymer.
Features and addresses that were
to make up the program at the uni
will be incorporated in the pro-
gram at Peoria.
