Will Protect Selves From ]. w. u
Burden.

An association TO protect farmers
from the overcharges of high labor
pay and to protect towns from the
incursions of the 1. w. W's. has
been organized at Aberdeen, with a
long list of incorporators interest

of incorporatiors are r. b Ander-

in Aberdeen, but will extend it's
efforts to surrounding country,
and perhaps to even wilder field
in South Dakota.

INDIANS ARE
MADE CITIZENS
Over Fifty Receive Citizen
ship Saturday.

An immense crowd attended
the ceremonies, of giving the In
dians their citizenship at the
Agency last Saturday afternoon.
Maj. Mclaughlin of the Depart
ment of Interior at Washington
was present and presided at the
event. About fifty Indians were
given the citizenship rights. The
shooting of the last arrow
ceremony was used.
This is an important event in
the life of our Indians. For
some tune past Agent MOssman
has been classifying the Indians
and has them divided into three
classes This class stood first
in the ranks as being the most
competent to handle their lands
and business affairs without the
assistance of the agent or the
government. Glass number two,
which did not pass the necessary
qualifications are given another
trial and will try to make good
for next year. 1t is estimated
that this class will have a MEM

Glass number three are incom
petent i'm every respect and it il
doubtful ii they will ever receive
their citizenship rights.
This will put great deal Ot
land in Roberts County on the
tay list, and eventually will cut
down our present tax rate.

Want Million AMI Half

According TO the report of the
state board of regents of education
filed with the governor, thev be-
lieve that the heavy increase in at
tendance at the different state edu-
cational institutions requires an adj
ditlonai expense i'll maintenance
Their advance figures ask for ST,
oS2 ,9l+ for all purposes for the
biennial period which the legisla-
ture must provide for. OF this
they want Sass, 464 for new build
ings and repairs, and the balance
for maintenance uf the different
educational institutions under their
care. These figures are a material
increase over the allowances made
to them at the last session. For
buildings and repairs the appropri-
ations for the last sessions were
234, 500 which is less than half that
asked from the next session The
increase i'll maintenance is increas
ed from $So4 500 allowed at last
session up to 81 1917 ,45O, asked for
from the coming session. But this
includes $50, 600 for agricultural
extension work not included in the
last general appropriation, but for
which special ppro at o n S
mounting to $55, 600 were made.
The heaviest building expenditures
asked are at the University, the
state college and the northern nor
maj, at which new building are
wanted.
The regents recommend that the
Legislature establish a teachers pen
sion system to keep the efficient
educators at wolk in the state in-
stead of allowing them to drift to
other states where they can secure
greater present pay: and also re-
commends therepeal of the act re-
quiring feul to be purchased on the
tlerlnal heat unit system as toe
costly and impractical.

Opportunity for Improvement

A recent investigation made by
the U. S. Public Health Service in
connection with studies of rural
school children showed that 49.3
per cent had defective teeth, 2l.l
per cent had two or more missing
teeth, and only 90 per cent had
had dental attention. Over IL per
cent never used a tooth brush 5S.2
per ceut used one occasionally and
only 274 per cent used one daily.
Defective teeth reduce physical
efficiency. Dirty, suppurating
snaggle-toothed mouths are res-
ponsible for many cases of heart
disease, rheumatism, and other
chronic affections. The children
are not responsible for the neglect
ed state of their teeth. The ignor-
ant and careless parent is to blame
for this condition condition
which hampers mental and physical
growth and puts permanent
handicap on our future citizens.
School teacher can and are doing
much in inculating habits Of per
sonal cleanliness on the rural
school child but this will fail of the
accomplishment unless highest
parents cooperate heartily and
continuously.

CHANGES NEEDED IN
 FOOTBALL RULES
Interest May Be Increased by Doctoring Forward Pass Play

Only two games remain to be played before the football year goes down into history. Next Saturday at New Orleans Georgetown will meet Tulane, While on New Years Day at Pasa- dena, Cal, Pennsylvania will seek new honors against Oregon. Taken all in all, the campaign has proved one of the most interesting and most successful in the history of the sport.
 Records for attendance have gone soaring to heights never before ap- preached. Popular interest has de- Veloped with a wider knowledge of the finer points of the game, but there is still great progress to be made before it acquires anything like an intimate acquaintance with the where fore for everything that happens on the gridiron. It is the duty of the rules committee to simplify and make more explicit certain features of the code.
 The season has developed new and greater possi abilities of football, but it has also brought out the need for changes in the rules especially those concerning the forward pass. As we pointed out some time ago, the rule which provides for penalty Of only fifteen yards for roughing the receiv- CT of a forward pass nullifes a lot of the good of the aerial attack.
 Most often the roughing is passed off without a penalty. It behooves the rules committee to change the rule so that a pass in which the re- ceiver Is roughed should be regarded as completed and an additional pen atty of fifteen yards inflicted. This would prove a boon for the game in general and the lighter teams in particular.
 Another change called for is the prohibition of the practice of cutting down a man from behind. At the rules clarification meeting last Sep tember, Foster Sanford made a plea for that change We have seen nu- merous accidents due to cutting down from behind. The play has no place in civilized warfare and should be eliminated. It is not fair and it is not football
 There is likely to be another as- sault on the goal from touchdown, which was the direct cause for the defeat of several better teams this season. The goal from touchdown seems to have outlived it's usefulness and might be eliminated with little cause for regret

BROWN LOSES 5 MEN
Pollard is Not Among Players Lost by GraduatiOn-YaIe and Harvard Should Be PIeased-What?

Providence, R. l., Dec. 4.-Brown will lose only five men from its foot ball squad by graduation this spring Sprague, Wade, Ward, Jimmy Mur- phy and Ormsby Of these Sprague was the regular center and Wade a regular guard. Ward would unques- tionably have been a regular tackle had not injuries kept him on the hos pital list greater part of the time. Jimmy Murphy was substitute quar- terback and Ormsby substitute end
 With fifty-five of the squad of sixty first and second string men return ing, with three men of absolute var sity caliber in Shaw, Kowalsky and Gordon becoming eligible, and with the usual amount of good material from the freshman class, the pros- poets for 1917 should be the bright est in the history of the college.
 Despite the setback of Thanksgiv- ing day, the season just closed was the most successful Brown has ever ex- perienced Both the Providence and Boston alumni have arranged ban quets for the players and at the hrst of these to be given on Tuesday eve ming in this city gold and silver root balls will be presented to the play CTS. the gold to the men who won their letters and the silver to the sub- stitutes and second team men.
 Browns schedule for next season Is sure to come in for a revision. This years anti-clin1ax with Colgate is sure not to be repeated and the sea- son will wind up with a big contest for which the development of the eleven will be properly worked up.

The AII-ArOund Star

Has any football man this season been developed with the all-around ability of Thorpe, Coy, Mahan or Brickley?" a reader rises to inquire
 Not that we have run across. For all-around worth the most notable have been Oliphant, of the Army; Berry, of Penn; Harley, of Ohio State; Le Gore, of Yale, and Driggs, of Princeton.
 These could all run, kick and pass.
 But, take Mahan for later example. He was also useful in the forward passing game, and with this a valuable man in the backfield, re- ceiving and running back punts.
 Mahan was also a drop-kicker of good ability. Here we have five re- irements-running. bunting, pass ing, drop kicking and receiving punts.
 And there are more than one who still fail to believe that Mahan's all around value was quite as great as that of Thorpe and Coy.

Back to Baseball.

Which brings in another query from a non-combatant, viz: Has any fielder ever starred in as many infield positions as Buck Herzog, of the Giants?''
 Not that we recall. Most of the great inielders stuck to one assign ment. Lajoie, Collins and Evers at second base; Collins, Bradley, and Devlin at third base. Wagner, at third for a brief spell and at first, reached his crest at short.
 Jack Barry was about equally bril- liant at short and second. But Her ZOE was a scintillating luminary at second short and third, where at each job he was far above ordinary play. For one man to play three inf1eld positions is not quite so uncommon But for one man to star at three 1 jobs is another matter

Next?

15,000 to 1S,000 was considered 8 good world series crowd ten years ago, when the Cubs were battling with the White Sox.
 Over 42,0OO saw the Red Sox and Dodgers meet in one game this fall.
 From 25,0Oo to 3o,o00 was ranked as a massive football attendance ten years ago, even for the big games.
 Over 77,0OO saw Yale and Harvard in their recent jamboree.
 And with 77.000 on hand, over 30,- 900 were blockaded through lack of seating space.
 Those interested in sport are grow ing in mum bers each year. The de- mand is increasing season after season. Ten years from now more than likely a world series could draw 50,00O people, if the room was there to pack them away. And what a Yale-Har- ward football battle would draw is be- yond any estimate.
 Has the limit of public accommoda- tion been reached? If so. the scram ble for tickets few years from now may verge upon internal war;, wherein we will have troops and armed guards attempting tp take cer- tain big stadiums by storm.

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Hugh Ward, who with Harry Frazee has purchased the Boston American baseball team and will come into formal possession on December IA, is planning to give Eu- rope some major league baseball as soon as the war ends.
 My plan is to send a couple of baseball teams over as soon as the league season here closes" MT. Ward, who is here today, said. ''As for the expense, it will cost less than to send a team from New Y YOrlI to San Fran cisco. I don't see why these and other teams should not go over to Europe next fall if the war is over by that time."

BLACK WILL RETURN.

New Haven, Dec. At is now defi- nitely settled that Clinton R. Black, captain of this years victorious Yale football team will again be in the gridiron uniform when Tad Jones' charges line up for their seasons work next year. Although Black has been rated in the junior class on ac- count of the fact that he is taking the usual four-year course in three years, he did not know until very recently that he would return to finish his course It Is very unusual, however, for a Yale football captain not to finish, and the action of Black in de- ciding to spend another year at the university will come as a pleasant surprise.

MERIDEN BOUTS TONIGHT
Hennessy Is Taken III and Manage ment Gets Substitute For Waltz. TreybaH Ready For Mccormack.

An eleventh hour change has beenl
 necessary in the Lenox A. c. bonngI
 exhibition in Meriden this evening" owing to the sudden illness of Jeromea Hennessy who was carded to meeti Semky Waltz in the star bout of thel evening. However the exhibition wfIIl go on just uhe same, the management having secured Willie Brown of New5 York to substitute for Hennessy. It1 is said that Brown is a fast boy and should make the mill very interest -I ing. Another boy named CharIesf Hayes was named as a possible oppon-j ent for Waltz, but the latter preferred Brown. It is amusing to followers of2 boxing, to listen to the shouts of theq adherents of the Hooking glass boxer' about his coming back and getting ready to claim the title. AS near as3 can be figured out by boxing fans in Bridgeport, Meriden, New Haven and this city, this has been the best thingN that Waltz does and the only way thatl he ever held the title. Should Waltz defeat his picked opponent this eve- ming, it is surmised that the claims of the championship of the state will again be revived. Should Waltz del reaC BaCJllnB MCiluR8 or henOSha E. Wis. or Kid Mauler of Alberqueruue.T New Mexico, he would be the feather weight champ of New England judg- ing from the ridiculous claims of his followers in the past. -

City is about tho best entry into the boxing game thaf the city has boasted of in years hisM recent showing against Frank Brin- disi of New Haven stamping him as a. sure conner. In Treyball he will faceS a lad who is always willing to mix it up, and who Is a bear for punishme ent~ Treyba11 has trained faithfully for the mill and reports being in excellenH condition.
