A KANGAROO AT BAY.
Its Cunning Defense When Pursued
Into the Water by Doqs.

uI1O 1Iic WaLeT by Logs
In the kangaroo hunts Of Australia
capture is sufficiently easy, but some
times the kangaroo makes an original
defense.
If possible the kangaroo directs his
fight toward a river. If he reaches
it he enters, and, thanks to his great
height, he is able to go on foot to a
depth where the dogs are obliged to
swim.
There he plants himself on his two
hind legs and his tail and, up to his
shoulders in the water, awaits the ar
rival Of the pack. With his forepaws
be SEXES by the head the first dog
that approaches, and as he is more
solidly balanced than his assailant he
holds the dogs nose beneath the wa
fer as long as he can. Unless a second
dog speedily comes to the rescue the
first one is inevitably drowned. If a
companion arrives and sets him free
he Is glad to regain the bank as quick
ly as possible.
A strong and courageous old kanga-
roo viii hold his own against twenty
Or thirty dogs, drowning some and
frightening others, and the hunter Is
obliged to intervene with a bullet

High School Notes

For the High school, Nichols, Smith,
Hunter and Peterson played good
games, Nichols kicking easily being
the feature of the game. For Cum
berland their fullback was the star.
Last Saturday night the Seniors
gave a party for the rest of the school.
The evening was spent in dancing An
orchestra composed of Almond Chris
tenson, Chester and Helen Nelson fur
nished the music.
The High school is we'll represented

The High school opened it's football
season Saturday with Cumberland
high school. The final score was IL to
6 in favor of Cumberland.
The Cumberland team was heav-
Ter than the locals and used their
weight to good effect. The game open
ed with River Falls receiving the kick
off. After few downs Cumberland
held and got the ball on the thirty
yard line. Using straight line plung
es with punched interference they
soon put the ball down to the half
yard line. Here the high school brac-
ed and held her downs. The High
school punted on first down and Cum
berland got the ball. With their full
bsssk carrying the ball they soon put
over the first touchdown.
The third quarter the teams played
about even, neither team being able to
gain consistently. At the beginning
of the second half the High kicked to
Cumberland and soon held her downs
Nichols then made a pretty drop
kick from the 35-yard line. A little
later in the quarter he duplicated il
from the 33-yard line, tieing the score
The High then tried some passes, one
of which Cumberland man intercept
ed and ran half the length of the
field for touchdown. There was ne
more scoring after this.

"'Peds'' Hold
MaCkmen ScoreIeSS


Holding Manchester to a scoreless
lie at st. Paul last Saturday was viz
.ualIy a splendid victory for Coaches
Swenson and Hayward over Coaches
McGovern and Thacker, for while
me former had practically a green"
team, the latter were rounding out a
cunch of veterans.
The pedagogues put up the gamest
lind of a fight, and but for constant
1t1mbling should have won by large
margin. In the first quarter Macai-
sster brought the ball to NormaPs 5
ard line, but could not put it over
IN three desperate attempts. In
mis- same period Normal worked the
call down to the Macmen's Is yd.
inc and forward pass, perfect and
Easy to handle, slipped through the
ylnner's hands beyond the goal.
Several times after that Normal
made splendid gains, only to lose the
oall on fumbles near the enemy's
zeal. In the third quarter Macalas-
Ter took a sudden squirt and went
from their own Is yd. line for 4O
Yards on line plays that never fell
snort of yard gains. Here their
quarter, who must have been dlscov-
cred by an ivory hunter, called for
ward pass. Fessenbecker intercept
"a the throw and the danger was
last, for throughout the remainder
# the game they could not make
consistent gains.
Near the close of the contest Mac
EASTER recovered a tumble near
NormaI's goal and attempted drop
lick, which missed only by inches.
Morrow, as usual, was the big
y7oise in Normal's defense and by Tar
he star Of the game. Even after
ne was painfully injured he contin-
Led in the fray and was the main
STAY of the line. His work was
praised by rooters and neutrals
Like. Boothby was given chance
at quarter in the last round, and he
rave an excellent account OF himself.
Vezina's punting was another excel
lent feature worthy of special men
ton.
Normal has developed an air-tight
defense against forward pass plays.
Macalaster got away with but one
FOR a short gain, and they must have
tried at least so during the game.
The pedagogues will have to put in
some hard ticks rounding out scor-
ing system. They are strong on de-
tense, but have not developed their
offense. The runner, on Saturday,
was practically without interference.
There are some speed boys in the
backfeld who will cover the ground
if given half chance. We hope to
ind that interference working tip
top at Stout Saturday.

Sheepskin.

Sheepskin was used as parchment be-

it was substitute for vellum, which Is
made from calfskin and Of far finer

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP.

Fellow Citizens: Let us get together and make this town of ours
the most healthful and most inviting in the state. To do this w must
organize our forces, map out II plans and get to work. Other cities and
towns Throughout the United States are finding the efforts along these
lines are bringing excellent results.
If we would have a healthful town we must clear our atics, cellars,
stables, sheds, yards, streets, alleys and vacant lots of trash, dirt JUNK,
filth, garbage, cans, bottles and weeds. We must empty toilets, cover
manure heaps, drain barn lots, fill up mud holes and Shiny, il-smeninA
ponds, open cutters, repair streets and burn rubbish.
Then we must use soap and scrub brushes, brOoms, rakes and shovels.
We must throw lime freely about toilets and stables. Why? Because
disease germs and germ-carrying insects, especially flies and mosquitoes,
breed in filth and spread typhoid. and consumption when they enter III
living rooms, aight N IL food, n bite lis while we sleep.
After the dirt is Gone We must repair our buildings and fix our fences
and then lay o the paint! Paint everything that needs it, inside and
out, for paint is the best known preservatve and its Frightening influence
will make the du1est town in the world look spick and span.
OF course, when we buy paint and lime, we put money into the paint
dealers and lime dealers pockets. But if we get sick and die the doctor,
druggist, undertaken, sexton and tombstone man take II coin. Most
folks would sooner spend theirs n paint and lme-ake your choice.
Come on now, folks. Let's call a meeting, form a clean up and paint
up club composed of men, women and children, and get on the job! The
prize is worth it-heath and happiness.

THE ADVANCE IN DRUG PRICES

War is certainly living up to the reputation given it by General
Sherman.
That is what the druggist thinks when he goes to buy his supplies
from the wholesaler.
The customer. when he buys in retail quantities, thinks the same
thing.
Since the European val began ordinary drugs have gone up in price
from so to 5000 per cent, depending o II the article, according to figures
sent out by the wholesalers.
Want a little castor oil for the baby? Sure, we'll since the a
started the price has increased something like $50 per cent.
How about carboGc acid? The increase is only about 1900 per cen5
Suppose you buy a little boric acid. You pay just 100 per cen more
for it now than you did in 1914.
Srychnine is only a little more than twice as expensive now.
Benzoate of soda costs IS a pound more now than it did two years
ago, while permanganate of potash has scared nearly 5000 in cost.
Aspirin is double the price it used to be.
ticany all the potassium compounds re establishing a lev altitude record
that N aviator nigh envy
Glycerine has trebled in price. EPSON salts are more than double,
and chloroform has nearly quadrup1ed in price.
Acetaniid is 1914 cost 20 cents a pound, now it is well above s..
Bromide OF soda has jumped from below so cents a pound to $475.
Ouinine sulphate is about five times as high o as it a then.
Evidently witch hazel neither comes from abroad or is used in max
ing war munitions for it is only a few cents a gallon higher than formerly
But through a long list Of drugs a big increase in price is seem, and, ac-
coring to druggists, indications are that the top has not been reached
yet.

THE FLAG ON THE SEA AGAIN.

Something like 1000 merchant ships OF nearly 100000 aggregate tom
mage are listed by the department of commerce as having been sunk or
captured or informed since the war began. Approximately half OF the MUM
Der appear to be at the bottom of the sea

World. Immense amounts of tonnage additional have peen withdrawn
from ordinary commerce and from the customary routes of commerce
and diverted to "a purposes. This tonnage after peace is declared will
get back into the old channels only slowly, where it survives to get back
at all.
There are encouraging evidences that American capital and enterprise
ire at last awake to this opportunity. Energies which used to be abb
sorbed in organizing raids on the public treasury as the only hope OF IN
peing for the ocean-going trade are busy in taking a chance on
their own hook. The more they venture to walk alone the better the going
becomes. ~
The company under which n ownership found itself driver OF n
Pacific by the seamens law, is buying under another ownership all the
ships it can find to get back II the Pacific under the same law. Other cont

Since the war began the oversee tonnage under the American flag
has doubled. The end Of the a ought to find it quadrupled. The Dusr
ness is there. We have only to reach out and get it.

ONCE OVERS.

Until the time comes when income and expenditure arep tted against
each other, the married life OF most couples is the dream which poets
write about.
But that money question" drives the dove of peace from acre homes
than does any other agency
1t may be that the wife is the extravagant one; it may be that the
husband is the spendthrift.
Perhaps both are "just careless about money"
Usually such couples are hapIest in early married life and most
wreached when in later years, they realize what may be their condition IN
their old age.
A woman IAN make or break her husband but the saying is equally
true when reversed. Just az it takes VIC to make a quarrel and both rare
to blame" so it is with the family savings and expenditures. Both nus
band and wife must work in perfect harmony II there to be a uccessf
issue for the family of average income.
Begin at once to live within your income. Many a better man than
ror has. Welded TO the temptation to take a few dollars of his employer
