WAGNER'S OWN COLUMN

Brooklyn teams have practically all their men signed and are not wor- rying about Federal raids.
 The Federa1s are always willing, to try a good publicity scheme, anyway. They invited the Fordham and New York university teams to play football at night in Washington park, Brook 1yn. In case faculty sanction could not be secured they said they would in stall their lighting system on one of the college gridirons. It isn't likely the invitation will be accepted.
 Brown displayed a great improve ment last Saturday by rolling up 33 points on Williams. It looked at one time as if Brown would not give Yale much of an argument this year but the Providence boys may surprise the ElI players after all.
 Coach Ready of Lehigh said he never saw better material than there is at New Haven. But declared he wasn't convinced the Yale coaches were making the most of it,
 eleven this season. The shaving stick youngsters have rolled up 101 points in three games and have not been scored upon. They play Yale October 30.
 A collection for Jimmy Dunn, who has lost the sight of one eye, was taken last night at the Casino boxing and among these who passed the hat was Young Cohen, the boxer. When the announcer stated to the crowd that $61v had been collected some body yelled How much kdid Young Cohen get?''

President O'Rourke said this morn ing that he had not yet received a visit from B. w. Wicks, president of the Jersey City club, who has been in Springfield to investigate conditio ions for an InternationaEl league franchise there- Wicks made it plain that he did not intend to try to get the terri tory except in a lawful way.
 "Of course we could set 8 price on Springfield and Hartford if the In- ternational wants those cities,' said President O'Rourke today. But unless we could agree on price they could not take the cities. The mat ter would probably come before the National Board and an arbitration committee of three would be appoint ed to conduct negotiations if the In- ternational thought our terms too high.''

RAT CAMPAIGN
NEARLY FINISHED
Prizes Will Be Awarded
Winners of Contest in
Short Time.

The end of the Swat the rat cam
raign being conducted by the Rat Elk
termination league Of Fairmont IS
rapidly approaching. Already 1925
Of the 1000 rats. which the league set
out to exterminate, have been killed
by boys and girls seeking the bounty
OF five cents for each tail turned in
to the secretary Of the league. The
prizes OF SIS. So and So will be award
ed shortly to the winners OF the
swat the rat" contest.
Twenty-one of the 100 or more
members of the league have as yet
failed to pay their initiation fees OF
81 and this money is needed by the
officers Of the league to pay the ex-
penses incident to closing up the cam
paign. A total OF $14 is needed to
finish the payment Of the bounty on
the last rs rats which will complete
the total of 1000 and to pay the ad-
ditional cash prizes.
The members OF the league who
have as yet failed to pay the initia-
ton fees to which they are pledged
are for the most part prominent bus
mess and professional men Of the
city and the officers OF the league
believe that calling their attention 10
the matter will result in speedy set
tlCPleut of the pledges.
Unless the city or county govern
ment will take over the work Of the
Rat determination league it will be
discontinued as o as the 1000 ro-
dents which the league originally
planned to exterminate have been dis
posed Of. 1t is acknowledged gener.
ally throughout the city that the an
noyance by the Expectations OF rats
has been materially reduced as a re-
suit OF the campaign.
In connection with the work Of the
rat examination league of this city
a report of experiments made by the
Smithsonian Institution at Washing
ton, D. c.. showing how hard it is to
kill rats tails is Of interest.
After a number OF tails had been
dried for eight days and heated for
two hours at a temperature OF 80 de-
grees they were successfully grated
to living rats. The rat tail expert
ment was conducted to find out how
long the living elements Of flesh
would continue and against what ad-
verse conditions.

Teach Your Children.
Il you are a mother, teach your chill
dren TO look for some good thing IN
every one they meet. and for some
happy event in every day. and to speak
Of these things before they sleep.
There is 10 greater kindness you can
show your offspring than to train them
in this mental habit
Begin when they are first able to
talk, and keep at the effort until they
are firmly established in the happy
method Of finding life a picture book
with a bright spot on every page.
Even your grown up children may
be directed by you in this manner. In
stead of complaining about your life.
Of your inability to do what you wish
for them, begin to talk Of your bles-
sings and Of their blessings.
When they are inclined to find fault
with destiny, try to divert their minds
with some amusing incident until you
see them laugh. Then remind them
that it is a great blessing to be able
to laugh.
It is wonderful thought, this
mighty influence Of mother.
The persistent belief Of a mother IN
the ability Of her child TO accomplish
great things has helped many a poor
man and woman to overcome the worst
possible surroundings and to rise above
seemingly insurmOuntable obstacles.
