FROM THIS CITY
Upstate Football Players Defeat Lo-
cal High School in Hard
Fought Contest.

The expected happened at Algona
last Saturday, and the Algona high
lschool eleven had no difficulty in de-
feating the Webster City team by a
comfortable margin. Algona's team
Of veteran stars as yet unsecured on
this season, outweighed the Webster
City team twenty pounds to the man,
and from the opening Of the uneven
contest, the outcome was never in
doubt. gu
The final score was S3 to for AL
gona. The first touchdown was gain
ed through a series of sweeping end
runs which crumpled the Webster
City defense in less than four min
Iutes after the opening whistle. At
this juncture, the Webster City lads
braced up and for the rest of the
half the two teams were evenly
matched. Another tally for Algona
was gained during the second quar-
ter, making the score 13 to 0 at the
close Of the half.
For time it appeared that the
game might end without further
scoring. Putting up one of the
gamest fights ever displayed by a
Wegster City team, the visiting elev-
en- made up for what they lacked in
weight and experience by their sheer
grit and nerve" The third quarter
ended with the score still 10 to 0,
and for several minutes thereafter
neither team was able to get the
edge on the other. The break was
bound to come, however, and during
the last seven minutes the powerful
dashes of Algona's fleet-footed half
back, Crane, .swelled the total score
by twenty points.
Although decisively defeated, the
Webster City team put up by far
their best exhibition of football of
the year. Captain ironing, as usual,
stood head and shoulders above his
teammates, and in fact the entire
field. His deadly tackling and line
plunging were sensational in the ex-
IRENE. Once he shook seemingly the
entire Algona line off his heels, and
dashed forty yards to the Algona fif-
teen yard line, at which point he was
forced out of bounds. Richardson al

on defense. art Williams, Web

all times in the thick of the battle,

runner was one of the events of the
game which delighted the fans.

straight football, but one forward

The extent Of American interests
in Mexico in the mining game alone
is shown by memorandum handed
to, the American commissioners at
Atlantic City. The document sum-
marizes the opinions of forty-hve
American companies doing business
in Mexico, among them the Phelps
Dodge interests. These companies
have $3.50, 100000 invested in Mex
leo. They employ, in normal times,
more than $4,000 Mexicans to whom
they pay over $1S,000,000 a year in
wages. This money is of real bene"t
to Mexico, though President Wilson
is inclined to regard it as exploiting
country whenever an American
leaves home to develop business In
a. foreign land. Except the bandits
in Mexico, we have no doubt tina:
the people down there would prefer
to have this constant flow of Amer
can wages.

ADVISED TO

Bookings, s. d., Oct. 23.-"It is very
important that farmers who were
roubled with grasshoppers this season
,hould take immediate steps to de-
stroy tho grasshopper ggs in their
Iields," says Prof. H. G. SEVERN, state
sntomologist at State college, because
here are many conditions which favor

Two OF the most important of these
conditions IRE "a a lack OF parasites
OF predacious animals, and CD dry
weather during the early life OF the
hoppers. We know through an exam

parasites and ~predacious animals are
not sufficiently abundant to control the

we shall have during he early life of

Professor SEVERN states that grass
hopper eggs may be destroyed by
blowing, discing. narrowing or culti-
waiting %grasshopper infested fields. The
depth to which the soil need be stirred
Is only two inches, and which Of the
foregoing methods Of eradication is
used will depend, first upon the farmer
and his tools and, second, Upon the
location of the grasshopper eggs. The
object of %cultivating, narrowing,
discing or shallow blowing is to crush

masses and thus expose them to the
drying action of the sun and wind, to
frost action or to the attacks Of molds
and animals.
Whatever implement is used to de-
stroy the grasshopper eggs states
Professor SEVERN, "a thorough job
must be done and the implement should
be run not only lengthwise, but also
crosswise over the fields, after the
erasshoppers have deposited their
egg (after the middle OF October In
1870 and II possible repeated in the
spring. South Dakota alfalfa growers
have found a spiked toothed disc or
renovator desirable because it destroys
the grasshopper eggs with less injury
to the alfalfa than an ordinary disc"
Professor SEVERN states that alfalfa
growers and others whose fields were
bothered by grasshoppers should
examine the ground for g~rasshopper
eggs. looking for them not only In the
fields but in TIE narrow strips Of LAND
bordering alfalfa fields. No great num-
Der OF grasshopper eggs are laid In the
