Inc Bits TOT the Bugs cOlumn OF the
EmpOria Gazette announces that Coach
Wayne Granger is thinking of ipstitut-
ing spring football practice at the Col
lege of Emporia this spring.
Coach Granger believes this innova-
ton will put his freshmen into better
condition and give them a greater
knowledge of the game. Many authorf-
ties think there is little benefit to be
derived from May Flower football, but
in schools like the G. of E., and most
Of the other Kansas Conference insti-
buttons it probably would be a good
thing, owing to the fact that the
coaches do not have a large body of
students to pick from and have to prac-
tically make their star players from
whatever material is available.
Washburn college might also do well
to give the spring training proposition
the once over and the up and down.

All members OF the new legislature
are cordially invited to attend the bas-
ketball game at Washburn college to-
night between the Ichabods and the
team representing Bethany college.
This will be theropening game of the
season for the Washburn players and
fast, scrappy contest is anticipated.
Merrill Ream, captain of the team, will
not be in the lineup and his place will
proba bly, be taken by Scott. Dwight
Ream, McNeish. Myers and Trobert
will probably play the other positions.
Those who contemplate making a po-
sition on the Washburn football team
next season may just as well be getting
into shape for the big grind with the
Nebraska Cornhuskers, as the Ichabods
have been given the date of October 16
on Coach Steihm's schedule.
This will be the third game for the
Nebraskans and it means that they
will be in better condition than last
year when they opened the season
against Washburn and won by only a
narrow nose. Nebraska's complete
schedule, as announced. is as follows:
October 2.-Drake at Lincoln.
October 9.-Kansas Aggies at Lincoln.
October 16.-Washburn at Lincoln.
October 23.-Notre Dame at Lincoln.
October 30.-Ames at Ames.
November 6.-Wesleyan at Lincoln.
November 13.-Kansas at Lawrence.
November 2O.-IOwa at Lincoln (prob-
able).

ally supposed that after the Polk
county case had been decided he
would be dcluged with petitions for
pensions from which he could not get
away. On this subject the Statesman
says:
1T is not the widows mite so much
as the widows might that is worry
ing County Judge Bushey of late.
Since the passage of the law granting
widows pensions the judge declares
it is almost impossible to avoid grant
ing the petitions for pensions that are
ty court has so far never allowed a
widows pension under the name, but
frequently allows an equal amount of
money toward the support of needy
families and charges this sum on the
county books to poor account"
Judge Bushey declares that in a
number of instances where money has
been allowed to widows, where it was
impossible for various reasons, to
make detailed investigation, that the
eiohiS VI ucotitutioii ildNe Detl HIS
represented and in some cases the
funds have gone to the support in idle
ness of grown sons of widows, and in
one case cited by the judge he says
he honestly believes the money went
to supply an older son with a supply
of intoxicants. The last petitioner for
a Widows pension was Mrs. Myrtle
Adams, of this city. The petition was
denied but Mrs. Adams was later al
lowed sum of money, reported
through an error to be $40 month,
for her support. The amount to be
allowed has not yet been definitely set,
according to Judge Bushey.

The deliberations between the Jap

between Japan and China continue. A
big fleet of warships is taking on sup
plies at Sasebo. The japanese in the
province of Shantung are concentrate
ing at Tsing-Tau and those in Man
churia are preparing to take refuge in
the railway zone.
The Kokumin in it's issue of We'd

endeavoring to mediate between ia

reason why the cabinet deliberations

themselves in readiness to withdraw to

FALLS CITY IN BRIEF.

The county rock crusher is about
ready for business, and we expect next
week to see road work going with a
vim. The Starr Transfer company,
which has the contract for hauling,
has two automobile trucks on the
ground and is ready to begin it's part
of the program as soon as the mater
al is forthcoming. Work on the New
port road is progressing very satisfac-
torily, and only a short time will
elapse before it will be ready for trav-
ell to the coast.
Falls City readers of The Observer
are invited to peruse the advertise
ments appearing on this page. Here
appears the announcements of Falls
patronage by the use of printers ink.
DR.. Hellworth's handsome new bun
galow is now well under way.
The Falls City public schools have
made extensive preparations for the
industrial exhibit next fall, and your
correspondent would deem it a mis-
fortune to this place as well as to the
county at large if it were not shown.
Superintendent Haley has made a de-
mand upon the fair board for better
facilities, and steadfastly maintains
that unless they are forthcoming his
schools will not be in the list of ex-
hibitors. What action the fair board
will take remains to be seen, but it is
believed that it will do the right thing
at the right time.
B. C. Mills and U. G. Holdt of Sa-
lem, accompanied by their wives, were
Falls City visitors on Monday. They
are connected with the Spaulding Log
ging company.
The rural highways leading into
Falls City are now in excellent condi-
ton, which has a tendency to increase
trade.
A fire broke out Tuesday under the
floor of the dryer of the Falls City
Lumber company plant at Salem. The
fire had apparently been smouldering
in saw dust for some time. The dam
age, it is thought, will not exceed $50.
A. p. Starr, Dick Gardner and
Lloyd Plaster of Dallas have taken up
their temporary residence here. They
will deliver rock upon the county
roads for the county, the Starr Trans
fer company having been awarded the
contract.
AS a rule times are not as hard as
man tells his wife they are when
she asks for money.
Fishermen may come and fishermen
may go, but Talbot will continue to
sell angling tools forever-if he's per-
mitted to remain on this globular wad
that long.
The electric light company has COM
pleted the construction of a new dam,
and will now be enabled to increase
its facilities, which are now inadequate
to meet the demand.
A party of young people motored to
Dallas last Saturday evening, and were
the guests of Miss Esther Cleveland |
while there.
Mrs. Crawford was the guest of Mrs. |
]. Remington of Dallas last Sunday. |
Mrs. Nita Gilbert and daughter, af- |
ter having visited with Mrs. Fred Hol-
man of Dallas, have returned home.

covered from an operation for ap-
is now seriously ill with pneumonia.

1t has been suggested to the writer
that the Business Mems club father a
plan to give publicity to the new high
way to Newport, via Falls City. 1t
would bring to this place many tour
lists enroute to the beautiful beach
who do not know of the new short
line, and certainly would augur to the
material interests of this community.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of peo-
pie annually visit Newport by way of
Corvallis, and there is no good and
sufficient reason why this travel
should not be diverted in this direc-
ton. A leaflet describing the route,
and incidentally mentioning Falls
City, sent to automobile clubs and
garages throughout the valley would
certainly have good effect.

There was an effort made on Tues
day to get a meeting of the business
interests of Falls City for that night,
the object being to secure Financial
support for the baseball team, but not
a sufficient number responded to the
call to proceed with the undertaking.
