Tale of the Road.

A party of Plymouthites, arriving
here Tuesday, relate a thrilling and
unusual experience encountered on
the way. Shortly after crossing into
Villas county they were delighted by
ha wing their dearest wish come true.
They heard rustling just before
them and deer stood in the road
way. The chauffeur, giving up con-
troll of his machine entirely, clurched
his camera, and stepped toward the
deer, which. strangely enough, was
not frightened, but actually advanced
a few feet as If entranced, and then
actually turned and came to a beau
tiful pose, which the camera soon
had on record. We are informed that
this gentleman has just this effect up
on dears Of the other variety, but this
is only another instance that DEAR
and DEER are much alike. 1t is ex-
tremely gratifying to Us to hear Of
one man able to hold his own with
both kinds.

School Boards Take Notice:

One Of the last laws passed by the
1915 Legislature changed the time for
holding all annual district school
meetings. Last year under then
new law, these meetings were held
the 1st Monday in June. Shortly af.
ter the date was changed to the lst
Monday in July, at 500 p. N. Some
districts have called and held June
meetings we understand this year.
They are not legal and must be made
SO by the July meeting.

The eagle, !" the first annual got
ten out by the Eagle River High
School was delivered to subscribers at
the close of school last-week. 1T is a
job rejecting credit on the student
editorial force and the mechanical
and artistic ability that produced it..
Personally. we don't favor the idea
in town Of this size. Taxes are
high enough for the purse of the ay-
erage taxpayer without being expect
ed to contribute by other Indirect
methods. If there must be such a
tax direct or indirect, we would pre-
fer to see it spent in charging the
practical branches Of study for the
boys and girls that will never finish
the four year high school course and
the more unfortunate ones that will
never begin it.

The game was close and interesting the argument in the first half and after F. Nell had scored a goal during the first few minutes of play, the Docena boys lost hope throughout the remainder of the half. Edgewater was chiefly on the offensive during the entire opening half and pressed the Docena goal num- erous times.
 Docena owes her victory to Woods, the goal keeper more than any other man. Woods blocked every attempt of Edge Several times he was in very difficult po- sitions, but always managed to work out successfully. McCrorie and J. Brown also played a great game for Docena in the final half, scoring the winning goals
 Edgewater, after the rush that netted them their only goal in the first few min- utes of play, had numerous chances to score, but the alert defense of Docena blocked every attempt. In the first half the game lacked the thrills and enthus- ia sm that prevailed throughout the final half.
 Edgewater started the second half with a rush and kept the ball in the Docena territory for a short time. After this the ball changed it's course frequently go- ing from one end of the field to the other With only about 15 minutes remaining the Docena forwards worked the ball down the field where McCrorie, by some clever playing, tied the count up
 The game being tied inspired more life

Fezv Changes Probable
 In Football Coaches
Only Change Certain In Entire South Among Most Prominent Colleges In Clemson-Kelly- -Noojin Combination Again At Alabama -McGugin, Heisman and Donahue Fixtures-Need of Competent Coach Fast Being Learned

With the 1915 football season a thing of the past and the records thereof al ready stored away, little remains to be told of the popular gridiron game. The prospects of every prominent col lege has been fully explained, and only one thing is left for the scribe to write Iabout-the coaches.
 Along with this line of chatter comes a consideration of two things to be figured in the product turned out by the favorites for the 1916 season. What of the material and what of the coach? It is generally agreed that practically every prominent eleven in Dixie, in cluding Vanderbilt, Auburn, Tech, Ala bama, Sewanee, Georgia and several others, will have an abundance of ma terial from which to build next years team upon.
 But what about the coaches? From every indication it looks like that not more than two, and possibly only one, change will be made among the inn portant teams Clemson is going to make a change for certain. The Glenn son Tigers terminated their contract with Bob Williams a few weeks ago and already "dickers" are on for his successor. Several men are understood to be angling for the job. Fred Rob bins of Mississippi had rather stormy sailing for his first year. However, the showing may be due to the Missis- sppians, and Robbins will probably be seen again at Mississippfs university at the head of athletics
 As for others who handle Dixie S athletic situation there appears but slight chance for a change. Only one new man was on the job last season. He was Coach Kelly at Alabama. kel- ly was stricken with typhoid fever about the middle of October and is still confined to his bed in a serious con- dition However, the showing of the Crimson eleven during the past season was extremely successful and the hand ling of the situation by the Kelly Noojin combinat tion are practicly sure of another year at the helm or Ala bama's athletics.
 All of the oldtimerS are certain to De back. Coaches McGugin, Heisman and game in the point of service in Dixie. Each has finished his eleventh year in his present job and each appears to be a fixture for that many years to come. Tech and Nandy enjoyed very successful seasons but Auburn dropped off slightly The trouble with Auburn can by no means be blamed on Mlke Donahue and the next season promises to be very successful for the Plalns- men under the leadership of Donahue.
 Of the others, Coaches Cunningham and Cope rank second in the point or service. Cunningham has been at Georgia for six years and the season

Bagging Lions Easy;
 Squirrels Get Away
From the New York World.

From the New York World
 San Antonio, Tex.-John R. Abernathy, companion of Roosevelt, reputed the greatest hunter since Ashurbanipal, can catch wolves with his bare hands. It is said that natives in parts of Africa are so strong that they can choke lions to death.
 But dye ever attempt to run down young red squirrel?
 Once about every two months the DOT ters and bellboys at the Menger hotel try it. About that often a squirrel comes up Crockett street to sport in the palms in the Menger court Employees think it is one of several at home six blocks east of the hotel It travels up the pavement at night when the street is deserted.
 The squirrel appeared in the court re- gently at o'clock. Five minutes later a mob of porters and bellhops filled the yard. The allies joined forces They "beat the bush' Soon the squirrel ap- peared. From this corner to that he darted, up and down the walks, in and out among the palms.
 Half a dozen times some porter or bell hop almost laid hands upon the flying creature. Ivory gleamed 'gainst coral lips. Dusky faces frightened. The win dows of the hotel filled with guests.
 Finally the squirrel ran up tall tropi- cal tree at the back of the court One Senegambian declared the little animal wnked at him going up.
 The negroes grouped themselves around the foot of the tree.
 Why don't you catch him?'' queried a guest.
 Now, boss, dat's difficult matter" re- piled one of the blacks, glancing at Mr. Squirrel sporting on slender bOugh near the top of the tree. His mouth watered
 But what do you chase him for, then?"
 The negro looked a minute at the squirrel at the top of the tall tropical tree
 For exercise he said.

FOUR GREAT YALE PLAYERS DIED IN
 MIDST 0F CAREERS
Tom Shevlin, Latest to Be Called, Was Making Sue cess in Business as Bril-
 liant as His Playing

The passing of Thomas Lee SheVlln adds another name to the list of famous Yale football linemen who have died in recent years when apparently on the threshold of business career as prom ising and brilliant as their gridlron rec ord just a few years back Four great Yale scrimmasers who won thelr ir play since 1900 have died within the pa st decade in F.

A Dual Reputation

From the Saturday Evening Post
 As Grantland Rice tells the story, a certain distinguished English actor, whom we may safely call Jones-Brown, plays a persistent but horrible game of golf. Du'- ing a recent visit to this country the actor in question occasionally visited the links of a we'll known country club in Westchester county, near New York.
 After an especially miserable showing of inaptness one morning, he flung down his driver in disgust.
 ''Caddy,' he said, addressing the silent youth who stood alongside. that was awful, wasn't it?''
 'Purty bad, sir,'' stated the boy.
 'I freely confess that I am the worst golfer in the world,' continued the actor.
 "Oh, I wouldn't say that, sir," said the caddy soothingly.
 Did you ever see worse player than amp
 NO, sir, I never did," confessed the boy truthfully; but some of the other boys was tellin' me yistiddy about a gentleman that must be a worse player than you are. They said his name was Jones' Brown"

GUN CLUB SHOOT

There were nine shooters showed up Day, and some good scores were made. John Fletcher led on both the 50 and 100-target race, breaking 46 out of his 50 and 93 out of his 100. He was closely followed by E. M. Cornwell, who was also shooting in fine form.
 Dr. Sellers got a rather bad start but finished up nicely, breaking 46 out of his last 50. Mr. Hydinger shot well on his last 50, breaking 43, which is very good shooting. c. J. Barr and his two sons came out rather late to do good shooting, but Howard and Charles came near showing father how to break them.

ScWanee had a disastrous year but like Auburn, it cannot be attributed to the coaching. Cope is also slated to guide the Tigers for years to come.
 A coach is wanted at Tennessee ow- ing to the departure of Miller Pontius. Coach Clevenger is a starr all-round athlete, and is sure for another year at the helm, but his assistant for the foot ball work is yet to be named. Neither did Tennessee have successful year.
 Both Shaughnessey of Tulane anc Mcdonnell at Louisiana will stick for another year and possibly longer. AL though neither Tulane nor L. S. U. had a good season, the athletic authori- ties were completely satisfied With their work.

His work over a period of years indicates that he will remain at the helm of the Az gies' athletics for a number of years.
 Two new men were given tryouts among the lesser elevens last season. Zellers at Mercer. Caton at Howard and Johnny Spiegel at Chattanooga showed improvement over the elevens of the previous year. Mercer, for the material at hand made a good showing, while Chattanooga gained prominence by tle- ing both Georgia and Sewanee. Splegel did excellent work and promises to do even more next season.
 Luck was against Caton, but ne made a creditable showing and prom

 Within the past decade southern college athletic bodies have learned some valuable lessons in the matter of coaching. No team in this or any other section had eyer gained any real lasting prominence among its athletic set except where it's teams were direct ed by a competent man who was given opportunity to start in motion ain individual system. Of course, it may be argued that Yale, with a yearly change, stood at the head of eastern entries for years But all the time Walter Camp was there at the head of the advisory board. Harvard had to take Haughton and give him a lew Cornell was ranked in and out until Al Sharpe took charge. Penns mum erous changes are proving the tali- ure of a changing coaching system.
 The solution for the coaching prob lem is to place a competent man at the head and give him time to put his ideas into operation and be left alone. EXperience had proven the problem

 Atchison, Kan.-Albert Armstrong; of this city, who has just returned from a trip to Lane county, says the farm CTS out there are worring about what to do with their money this year, instead of worrying how to get along for lack of it.
 This has been a wonderful year for western Kansas farmers, according to Armstrong. Last spring one Lane county farmer traded heifer for a piece of volunteer wheat for the pur- pose of pasturing his cattle on it.
 The wheat did so well he decided to let it grow and harvest it. Result: He harvested 1900 bushels of wheat. which he sold for s1300. Another farmer bought half section of land for $15 an scre and this years crop paid for the land.
