FOOTBALL TEAM IS FAMOUS
Panhandle Eleven Organized Fifteen Years Ago at Columbus, Ohio
 Has Many Features.

The famous Panhandle football team of Columbus, O., organized 15 years ago by Joseph F. Carr, who is still at its head, is one of the leading organi- cations of it's kind in the United States. The team averages 1S0 pounds and has many features that make it stand out as great eleven. There are six brothers playing regular positions on the team and every one of them is a star in his particular position. They are the famous NeSser brothers. They average over 200 pounds each, their total weight being close to three-quar- ters of a ton.
 The Panhandles, during the present season, will play a schedule of IA games that will carry them all over the United States, for it is seldom in any branch of athletic activity that such an organization is found. Another feature of the team is the fact that all of the players are employees of the Pennsyl- vaEle railroad in Columbus and have been for number of years.

SPLENDID SPECIMENS OF BEEF TYPE.
Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Meat and meat animals are marketed by three general methods in the United States, the extent to which the particu- lar practices are employed varying greatly in different sections of the coun- try. The three general methods are: Shipping to the large centralized mar kets, selling~to local butchers and pack CTS and selling in the form of farm-pre- pared meats to dealers or consumers. There are also marked differences in the extent to which the different classes of animals are marketed in the three ways. These facts are brought out in a report of a survey of live stock and mes t-marketing conditions of the country made by specialists of the United States department of agri- culture and recently published as Part V of a comprehensive study of the meat situation in the United States.
 The bulk of the animals from the Central states, it was found, is sold through the centralized markets, while some form of local marketing pre- dominates in the extreme eastern, western and southern sections.
 The great central markets handle four-fifths of the sheep and lambs, two thirds of the hogs, and approximately one-half of the beef cattle. For local slaughter about one-third of the beef cattle, one-eighth of the sheep and lambs, and one-twelfth of the hogs are sold. Nearly one-third of the hogs and about one-tenth of the beef cattle and one-twentieth of the sheep and lambs are slaughtered on farms and ranges. Relatively more sheep are

SWEDES TO VISIT IN SPRING
Prominent Sport Followers Pledge Enough Money to Send Athletic
 Team to United States.

The visit of a small team of Ameri- can athletes to Sweden this fall is go- ing to result in big doings in track sports in this country next summer. The appearance of the five American stars - Meredith, Simpson, Loomis, Ward and Murray-in Stockholm, awakened in the breasts of the Scan- dinavian enthusiasts the desire to send a team to America, which so nearly bore fruit last June. Only a crisis between Sweden and the entente pow CTS, which made it look as though King Gustav's country was about to be embroiled in the big war, prevented the Swedes from sending along a team under Ernie Hjertberg that would have done credit to the northland.
 As matters stand now, there is pledged by prominent sport followers in Sweden enough money to send a team of about 15 men to this country. It is felt that should the invitation of the New York Athletic club to the Swedish athletes be repeated next spring, as seems likely now, there will be a popular subscription ample enough to finance team of twice the size of the one planned last spring. The one factor that would prevent the meet, as it did last spring, is the military situation.

LATERAL PASS NOT POPULAR
Beautiful Play to Watch, a Great Ground Gainer, but Not Tried
 Often This Season.

The lateral pass hasn't been used very often this year. Many teams tried it out in 1915 and found it too dangerous. It is a beautiful play to watch, a great ground gainer when it is properly executed. But when it failS-ruini
 The play is sort of double forward pass, usually worked along the side. lines. The center passes the ball to the quarterback and he f1ips it tS one of his mates-usually an end-who has raced to the sidelines. Upon re. ceiving the pass, MT. End is supposed to hurl it forward to one of his asso- ciates, who, by that time, if on sched. ule, should be 20 or 30 yards nearer to the opponents goal line.
 In this triple handling of the tall with the possibility of fumbling, hides the greatest danger. The next men. ace is in making the final pass. If the man elected to make the real run with the ball has reached his station and is "uncovered' by any of his foes, O. K. But the chances are that one of the enemy is lurking in that neighbor. hood, and when the final heave is made, said enemy leaps into the ozone, extracts therefrom the whirl ing ball and-blooie, blooie!

MOONSHINER CHURCH PILLAR
Tennessee Whisky Maker Concealed His Trade Behind Mask of

Linden, Tenn.-Government agents have captured whom they claim is the king of moonshiners in the vicinity of this place, in the person of James Had dock, an aged and respected citizen. For 40 years, according to the agents, he has been at the head of one of the most successful and elusive distilleries in the moonShine belt.
 Paddock was arrested just as he was finishing a fervent prayer in the Linden church, where he had been a pillar for many years. He was taken to the county jail to await trial at the forthcoming term of court.

shipped in carload lots by owners than any other class of live stock. Cattle, hogs and calves follow in the order named. In sales to local buyers hogs lead, with calves, cattle and sheep fol- lowing in order.
 The study discloseS that the time of buying stockers and feeders and the selling of finished animals is restrict ed too generally to a few months of the year. Should stock-feeding opera tions be better adjusted to market con- ditions, a decided influence toward a more even distribution of the supply would be the result.
 Cooperative associations of cattle laisers are becoming an important fac tor in marketing, the report shows. Seven hundred and fifty organizations which market cattle in a cooperative way now exist in 15 states. Four hundred and thirty of these organiza- tions are primarily livestock shipping associations. The greatest activity of this sort was found in Minnesota, where 215 cooperative livestock ship ping associations are located. The de pdl lhChI SpOCldllSlo uCCldl . b1dI t1ACoO associations bring greater returns to the farmers because of the reduction of marketing expenses and the realiza tion of the prevailing prices at the cen tralized markets, and that they are also valuable because of their educational features.
 The system of centralized livestock markets in the United States is the largest single factor in the marketing of meat animals. It is noteworthy that this system is peculiar to the United States, no other country having de velOped such markets for their live stock. Not only is live stock sold for slaughter at the centralized markets, but a large proportion of stocker and feeder cattle also passes through these market centers.
 The chief Outlet for food-producing animals in this country, the study dis closes, is wholesale slaughtering and meat packing. Such industries usually are associated with the great central ized markets. More than 1,20O slaugh- tering and meat-packi1g establish ments were operating in the United States in 1914 and turned out products worth $1,651, ,765, ,424. The specialists report that one of the striking features

 ''There you are, judge!" cried Mrs. Erb. "That shows you the man. Ever since we've been married he's pestered me for a dollar a week to spend on chewing tobacco"
 Does he spend it all that way?" the court wanted to know.
 q haven't any doubt he would if he got it."
 The stern light had gone out of the judicial eyes. Erb looked into them and saw a brother man.
 ''Please, judge," he pleaded, pressing the advantage, "can't have a dollar week for chewing and little things need?"
 Mrs. Erb, who had miraculously seemed to grow into a commanding figure, objected that part of the weekly dollar might be spent on beer. But Judge Appell was already engaged in dismissing the abandonment charge and entering an order directing that Erb get his allowance.

COACH FoLwELL AND HOWARD BERRY OF PENNSYLVANIA

Colgate, Washington and Jefferson and Penn State are teams that have risen to dizzy heights in the football world because the new game has paved the way for them-removed the weight handicap they had to suffer in the other years of the beef era.
 Those three colleges have a small enrolment, the average being around 500. It's an almost impossible task to recruit from such a small crowd of pupils a team that could match in weight with colleges where the coaches have 5000 or more men to draw from. And so, in the other days, when mass plays were in vogue, it was rarely that

or the industry IS the concentration or ownership. Packing establishments buy directly from the producer in Califor- nia to a greater extent than in any other state or section. This practice, which in the opinion of the specialists, will continue to be important in those parts of the country remote from cen tralized markets, is most characteristic of the western group of states in gen. eral. There is a decided difference of opinion among producers, marketmen, and packers as to the effects of this practice in sections supplied with cen tral markets on the general market prices of live stock and on the pros- perity of cattle raisers.
 Municipally owned or controlled abattoirs are becoming increasingly i'm portant in the local marketing of live stock, the report shows, and are dis placing rapidly the old type of slaugh- terhouse. Public abattoirs have been established in 9 cities and 13 states. Local conditions should determine whether or not city should build it's own abattOir, and thorough eXamina- tion of conditions, therefore, should be made before definite action is taken. Great variations were found to exist in the losses of, and damage to, live stock in transit on different railroads. On one road the claims paid amounted to 19 per cent of the revenue during a certain period, and on another to less than 5 per cent. The total claims for such loss and damage in 1913-1914 on 27 railroads were $1,245,477S1. The average rates on live stock for the years 1911 and 1913 were found to be 10 cents per hundred pounds for east ern or official territory, 11.9 cents for southern territory, and 149 cents for western territory.
 The correlation between average live stock and meat prices over relatively long periods is closer than is generally understood. When the price of live stock rises or falls, meat prices tend to change in the same directions, but the meat prices are not subject to abrupt daily fluctuations, which are one of the most adverse features of livestock market conditions.
 In order to secure information as to the relative cost of the different fac tors or steps in the processes of mar keting animals and the proportions of the final price reaching the farmer and other parties to the transactions, the specialists traced several typical lots of beef cattle from producer to con- sumer, both through centralized mar kets and where the animals were dis posed of locally. In the former case the farmers share of the gross returns ranged from 54 per cent to S5 per cent, while from 2 per cent to 5 per cent went to pay market expenses, per cent to g per cent was received by the packers, and 8 per cent to 33 per cent by the retailers. In the local sales, from 62 per cent to S4 per cent of the gross returns was received by the farmer and from 15 per cent to 3S per cent by the retailer. The detailed fig ures indicate, however, that even when account is taken of the fact that lower grade stock is sold locally the returns from such sales are not as great rela- lively as those from sales through cen tralized markets.

COST OF FARMERS
 MUTUAL INSURANCE
Ry J. O. RANKIN, Missouri Col
 Iege of Agriculture.)

(By J. Q. RANKIN, MISSOURI SOl-
 lege of Agriculture)
 Few now doubt the value of insurance if the cost can be kept low enough to keep it from being too great burden. Of course, for every dollars worth of property destroyed someone must pay. Insurance simply dis tributes this loss so that It doesn't fall so heavily on the man who happens to be unfortu- nate. The efficient company will give the greatest possible protec- tion for the least possible cost in addition to the actual payment of loss. There are said to be farmers mutual companies in this country handling over a mill lion dollars in risks at a cost of less than $2OO a year, excluding, of course, the losses paid. The typical farmers company can do things of this kind because it pays no salaries, or only very small salary to a secretary. Often there is no payment ex- , cept small amount per day to a secretary and adjuster for the time actually given in adjusting losses. In addition to this, there is some slight expense for post age in case members are notified of meetings and assessments by mail, and for paper, envelopes and a few simple office supplies of this kind.
