FOOTBALL HISTORY
of All State Teams to Be Put
in Spaulding Guide by
Chambers.

HUNTINGTON. Jan. 26-Coach
Chambers, of the Marshall teams Is
busy collecting data on the last sea-
son in football in West Virginia.
This history will be used in Spauld-
ing's Guide. The standing of the
various teams will be given with a
review OF each schools season and
special mention OF. their best men.
The selection of all state men made
by Coach Chambers in the fall. which
contains two local men, Callahan
and Reezer, will appear in the guide
Coach Chambers says that West
Virginia football history is mainly
a repetition of the feats of Manager
Harry Stansbury OF the Wesleyan
team. He has done more to bring
West Virginia before the public
than any other man, In fact. he has
increased the grade OF football in
the state fifty per cent OF course he
has carried his own team ahead OF
the others. as shown by the fact that
the West Virginia University team, is
the only state team that has scored
on it in three years, but at the
same time this squirt Of the wesleyan
elevens has naturally made the other
schools prepare better teams. While
no eleven has vet been strong enough
70 defeat Wesleyan. there are quite
a few football men who look for the
overthrow of the Stansbury forces
in 1915. -

cities of the country that are really

THE NEW WHALEMAN
By Frederic ]. Haskin

n SHORT time ago, one of the
n oldest newspapers in the United
States wrote it's own obituary.
published brief but dignified account
of its long career, and ceased publi-
cation. 1t was the Whaleman's Ship
ping List of New Bedford, Mass. Ever
since 1912, it had recorded the goings
and comings, the tragedies and success
ses, of the great American whaling
fleet. Slowly, during the last half CEN
tury the Greenland whale and the
wooden ship and the stout New Eng
land whaler have disappeared all to
gether. The Whalemans Shipping
List diminished from a prosperous
eight-page commercial paper to a
single printed sheet, and then expired
because there was no longer any rea-
son for its existence.
The whaling business of the world
at large, however, is by no means over.
In fact, during the last decade it has
experienced something of a revival,
| but the whalers of tradition and story,
who braved the Arctic seas in wooden
sailing vessels and harpooned their
whales by hand from rowboats, are
gone forever.
In the palmy days of the New Eng
! land whaling industry, killing whales
was a sport that ranked with hunt
ing grizzlies. Now it is a business
about as difficult as gathering oysters.
The great change has been due to two
things: In the first place, the right
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-10-28

whales of Greenland and the North
Atlantic, which yielded the oil that
lighted the way of our ancestors and
the bone that formed the figures of
colonial dames are almost extinct. In
the second place, their products are
not the necessities that once they
were. 1T is a curious fact that Just
about the time these whales of Amer
lean waters became almost extinct,
petroleum in it's numerous forms
came to take the place of their oil.
Steel has replaced whalebone not only
in bodices, but in many of it's other
uses.
Still Demand
The demand for whale products,
however. is by no means at an end,
and whales are still being killed by
the thousands every year. They are
not. however, the right whales, but the
humpbacks, finbacks and sulphur
bottoms which range almost all the
unfroZen seas of the world. The bone
of these smaller whales is much short
er than that of the right whales and
therefore much less valuable, but they
yield whale oil Of an excellent quality
Their meat is to some extent used as
food, and their carcasses are ground
up for fertilizer after the oil has been
distilled out of them.
Thus modern industry has made a
good thing out of whales, which the
old-time whalers would scorn to kill.

CoNoDoGUINET CREEK

In his recent report on the Susque-

quehanna at West Fairview, the IA
nous landscape architect, Warren Fl.
Manning, said:
"It Is possible to canoe from Car
Isle down to the river on this creek.

a mile above the Susquehanna, has
been washed out, so that it is diff
cult now to navigate from this point

there is a sufficient. interest in using
this stream, undoubtedly permission
could be secured to establish a suffi-
cient dam to hold the water back for
pleasure boating. There is only a diff
ference of about three feet between
the Susquehanna river and the base
of this dam, so it would be entirely
feasible to make a channel from the
proposed channel on the easterly side
across the river to accommodate the
ferry and also the pleasure boats to the

JAMES COUZENS OF DETROIT
kansas City Star.1

Fourteen years ago James Couzens
was a clerk in the office of a coal deal
er in Detroit. Henry Ford was organ
izing his automobile company and
Couzens had chance to invest in 1t.
He looked into the project and decided
that it was going to be very profitable.
Having once come to that decision
Couzens put into it every dollar he had
and could borrow. He was a poor
man on n small salary. He had saved
s400 and he invested that in the new
business, and 500 he borrowed from
his sister, and $500 he borrowed from
his employer. Also he gave his note
for s1,500, making a total investment
of $4,000. He had embarked his all in
the new venture and had gone heavily
in debt besides.
The new company paid a 2 per cent.
dividend when five months old. 10
per cent. dividend a month later and
q IS per cent. dividend when nine
months old. Last year Couzens got
| S5 900, 900 in cash dividends and S5,-
| 200,0 900 in stock dividend
Couzens did not simply pay back to
his sister the $100 she loaned him,
but he has paid her dividends of S97,-
900 on that 500, and his employer has
made s175,000 on his investment.
Some will says that good buck made
Couzens rich. But good luck had lit
tie 10 40 WIN II. 1OOu judgment,
energy, character and courage enabled
him to take advantage of an oppor-
tunity which a man with these quail
ties in lesser degree would have over
looked. Many men have judgment,
but lack the courage to back 1t. Many
others have courage. but their judg-
ment is so poor that they back the
wrong things and lose. Still others
are wanting in their character which
gives credit and makes it possible for
men to enlist the cooperation of their
fellows. The combination of these
qualities is what counts.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

Nearly three years ago a story of
Edna Ferber's, The Roast Beef Me-

The Fortunes of Garin, by Mary
Johnson. The author of ITO Have

Witch" and other popular works has
produced a story of love. romance and
adventure infinitely richer than any OF
the books mentioned. The scene is
laid in the beautiful background OF
Southern France at the period of the
Crusades. The hero is a happy-go-
lucky sort of lnight-errant, who is
perforce handsome and bold. and in
the approved old-fashioned style wins
his spurs, defeats the villain who is
besieging the castle in which the prin-
cess dwells, and rescues the heroine
in the nick of time. The lover of ro-
nance will enjoy accompanying the
| knight on his adventuresome Journeys
and will appreciate the relief of being
carried out of our own world of hum
drum and business into the refreshing
atmosphere of gentle princesses and
gallant knights. (Houghton, Miffiin

have any fear of supporting the ticket
as presented, from one end to the

In the first place, the nominees are
the unquestioned choice of the Re-

they are one and all honest, un-

This paragraph. quoted by Rear Ad-

Portland, Maine, is about the most
effective statement of the reason for
preparedness that has come to this
office:
THE last year has proved that no
human institution, no government, no
region on the earth's surface, is safe
unless it can defend itself. Treaties,
laws, customs and theories have been
swept away and mankind is defending
his belly with his knife. No knife, no

While the autumn Arbor Day was not
generally observed in Harrisburg. 1t
must not be understood that there
was any failure of tree planting. Many
private citizens have been busy setting
out trees. but there should be a more
general movement before 1t is too late
this Fall. There is still time enough
to place hundreds of shade trees along
the streets of the city and 1t is to be
hoped those who have overlooked this
matter will get busy without delay.
