 The effort Of the Renington-Yos ost eleven to gain the state football cham : pionship may be hindered consider ably by the situation in New Haven In former years the Annex and Wash ington G1ee club teams have had things their own way in the Elm City. But this year the Humphreys and Will Hams elevens have made good show ings that they are demanding to be considered on equal terms with their rivals.
 Manager Everard Thompson of the Yale ticket department has taken sides with the younger teams and de- clares the Washington G1ees and the Annex cannot have Yale field for the Thanksgiving day game unless they consent to an elimination series in which the Humphreys and Williams will figure. A meeting will be held in New Haven tonight at which Man ager Thompson will be present. It is expected that an elimination series will be arranged. If this action is taken it will be late in the season be- fore the Remington-Y osts will get 8 chance to tackle the Elm City cham pions.

BOYS PLEAD GUILTY
TO WHEAT STEALING.

Glendale Record: Oscar Anderson
and Verne Townsend, the two young
men charged with taking wheat from
Pehl's elevator three weeks ago, and
disposing Of it at Forbes, were taken
to Wahpeton last Friday and both en-
tered a plea Of guilty. Judge Allen
sentenced them to two years in the
penitentiary, but suspended the SEN
tence pending good behavior. This
does not mean that they are not to
pay . penalty for their offense, for
they will have to remain under the
jurisdiction Of the penitentiary man
agement. It will also be necessary
for them to secure permanent en-
ployment and one quarter Of their
wages has to be deposited with the
warden, and they also have to make
. written report each month to the
warden. They are not to indulge
in intoxicating liquor or to associ-
ate with questionable characters. If
any Of these rules n. violated they
are liable to be arrested and taken
to the penitentiary. In case such
action should be taken their sentence
would commence 1t the time they were
incarcerated and not from the time Of
sentence.

SUDDEN Death Of
ROBERTA McCuLLEY
Stricken in the Very Prime Of Life
Following Operation.

Miss Roberta McCulley passed aw.y
at 7:3O o'clock on Saturday morning,
January oath.
As the news Of her death swept over
the city there were expressions Of sor-
row from everyone. 1t was not gener-
ally known that she was i'll, and her
sudden death came rs . shock to al.
Apparently she was of strong and ro-
bust constitution. and very few OUT
side of her family knew that she was
not we'll. Always cheerful and never
complained. Last week, however, she
took to her bed, and expressed q de-
sire that DR.. Snyder, q friend Of the
family, be sent for to Spirit Lake,
Iowa. A telegram brought the imme-
date response that DR.. Snyder would
be here on Tuesday. He and DIR. l. r.
Maercklein made thorough examina-
tion, and agreed rs to the cause Of her
illness. An operation was decided on
and Thursday morning DR.. Snyder
performed the operation with the aid
of DR.. Maercklein, with Mrs. Maerck-
lein and Mrs. Deitcher there as
special nurses. The operation was
very successful, and the patient would
have come through all right, but for
the action Of the heart. On Friday
evening Indications for the worse set
in. Everything appeared normal but
the pulsation of the heart, and that
went up and up-and finally gave way.
The funeral was held from the res
idence Sunday afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock. Rev. r. S. Hollett of the Meth
odist Episcopal church preached the
sermon. The house was filled to over
flowing by loving friends, to listen to
the words Of comfort to those left he
hind. The floral offerings were most
beautiful and profuse. and showed to
some extent the last tribute Of respect
to one who had passed from among US.
Sarah Roberta McCulley was born in
Minneapolis, Oct. 26, 1890. When hut
a girl of eight the family moved to
Oakes and here "Bob." as she was fa-
miliarly known, had been reared and
educated. She was a friend of every
body, and was always happiest when
she was doing some act of kindness to
the infirm or aged. The parents, Mr..
and Mrs. W. A. McCullcy, have only
little William left now out of family
of three. They lost a son after their
removal to Oakes. and their eldest and
only daughter is now taken from them.
The family has the heartfelt SYM
pathy Of all in their loss.

the pork before cold weather sets in.
The following data was secured:
Number Of each breed entered:
Poland China LOG; Duroc Jersey
So; Yorkshire II; Chester White
l2; Berkshire II; Mulefoot /;
cross bred %; mixed SO. The average
size of litters raised was: Poland
China IL; Duroc jersey 7.6; York.
shire 9.5; Cheser White ~; Berkshire
10; cross bred ~. Average wight
of litter At close of contest was Po-
land China 1870; Duroc Jersey 1410;
Yorkshire 1924; Chester White 1889;
cross bred 1447. The average weight
per pig was: Poland China 1913 pounds;
Duroc Jersey 1861; Yorkshire 1872;
Chester White 180; cross bred 1873.
The average age when contest closed
was: Poland China 213 days; Duroc
Jersey 227; Yorkshire 2l9; Chester
White 2lO; cross bred PIT. The aver
age weight of the hogs in the "a litters
that stood highest was PIP pounds at
an average Of 213 days.
Corn, barley and oats were the main
foods fed. Shorts, screenings, rye and
speltz were also used. Smty-seven per
cent fed considerable skim milk, while
SO per cent Of the contestants used
pasture. The values given the foods
were as follows: Corn ACC per bushel; |;
oats 32c; barley 45c; rye SIC; bran and
shorts $1,000; screenings $1,000; skim
milk 25c per 100 10; grass pasture
s3.49 per acre, and annual pasture
s5.s4. No charge was made for house
slops.
The average profits per litter, with
pork at six cents, for the Poland China
we're $3.50; Duroc Jersey $42.26;
Yorkshire s4s.33; Chester White
;34.3O, and cross bred $26.3S. The av.
erase profit of the "a litters that stood
highest was s61.04.
The local management was in the
hands of the Better Farming Section
These Is field men kept in touch with
the contestants so far as was possible
The prizes offered consisted of $340
in cash contributed as follows: st.
Paul Union Stock Yards 500; Swift &
Company 500; commission firms $40
Several pure bred hogs were also in
cluded.
The contest demonstrated that there
is sufficient time to raise spring litters
to marketable age before cold wealth
er sets in-that the feeds raised in the
state produce pork efficiently and that
when fed to hogs a much higher re.
turn is secured for the feeds than the
prevailing market price. The hog fur.
nishes one of the best ways for dispos.
ing Of the corn crop. In the North
Dakota Corn Contest, just closed, one
boy, in the southern part Of the state
raised LOG bushels Of matured corn OF
IN acre, while as much as 06 bushels
Of matured corn was produced close Il
the northern border Of the state.
