BRANDED GUTTER
Berry of Pennsylvania Proves
He Is a Real Fighter.
Now He Is the GridirOn Hero
of His Native State.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

Oh. those doctor guys are gleeful,
AS gleeful as can be:
For now we're in the season that
Enriches them, you see.
They're busy mending busted bones,
And patching human frames,
Reassemblfng wreckage from
Those fearful football games"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-11-06

OF course the X. u. dope is largely
based on the results of last week 8
games in which the Cornhuskers nosed
out a victory over Ames by the narrow
margin of three points. while the Jay
hawkers were completely outplaying
the Oklahomans, winning 81 to 10. 1t
seems to be the general opinion that
the Nebraskans are slipping badly
while the Kansans are rapidly find
ing themselves and building up a
formidable machine and that by next
Saturday week the odds will be in IA
vor of Kansas.
Jayhnwkers Wake Up.
There is no doubt but that the Jay
hawkers have made a great deal of
progress since they were defeated by
Ames early in the season 10 to o.
Many will tell you that they are at
least SO per cent stronger than they
were then, and if such is the case they
surely will have a glorious opportunity
unless the Huskers play better ball
than they did against Ames last Satur-
day. According to reports from Lin
coin, the Iowans completely outplayed
the Nebraskans and only the breaks
of the game kept them from scoring.
Certainly 1t was a lucky boot that
Corey maze Wnen ne scored a IlelQ
goal from the 50-yard line, and this
field goal decided the contest.
On the other hand, the Kansans
completely outplayed Oklahoma, de-
feating the Sooners for the first time
since 1910, and showing an aggress-
iveness and a punch that they had not
shown in any previous games this
season.
With the score tied at the begin
ming of the second half, Beau Olcott's
men found themselves in the third
quarter and put across two touch
downs and only once more did they
allow the Sooners to count.
X. U. Stock Scars.
Not only do the K. U. dopesters
argue that their team will have an
excellent chance to defeat Nebraska,
but they now argue that their victory
over the Sooners insures them a vic
tory over Washburn next Saturday and
gives them an even break on the clash
with Missouri which will be the final
game of the season.
Missouri last week had as narrow
an escape as Nebraska did and the
Tigers won from the Texas Longhorns
by the same score. 8 to 0. Interest in
all the Valley conference camps this
week will center in the Missouri Kan
sas Aggie clash at Manhattan, and if
the Aggie win X. u. will do little
worrying about the Tigers and will be
able to concentrate all energies on the
Nebraska battle.
Few dopesters are conceding Wash
burn a chance to slip over surprise
on the Jayhawkers next Saturday, but
the fact that the Ichabods always fight
harder against Kansas than against
any other school, that Doctor Ken
nedy is reported to have something UP
his sleeve to be sprung on the Law
renee lads and the desire of the Jay
aawkers to save their men as much
u possible for Nebraska insures a
game that will be well worth watch
ing.

What Good Box Costs

Doctor williams of Rochester, says that
| the average working man who has re-
| frigerator pays from $40 to $40 for Il. He
spends for Ice during the four or five warm
months of the year from IS to $40.
An Ice box with more Insulation would
cost him more but he would save the ex-
ira ice In few months. He illustrates
as follows: A refrigerator 42x30x18 with
moderately good insulation retalls for $50
To be efficient such n box should maintain
fairly constant temperature of 45 de-
grees To do this would require an ice
meltage of 1853 pounds per week or s4oo
pounds for the five warm months. This
would cost the consumer In Rochester
s14.45.
II the wall of such an icebox should con-
tain an additional inch of corkboard IL
would reduce the quantity of Ice required
to 80 pounds weekly or 1850 pounds for
the summer. This would save 1850 pounds
of ice or S6.15. The added Insulation would
add $500 to the cost of the box Two
inches of corkboard added to the insuIa-
ton would add $3.50 to the price of the
iceoox but II would save 1896 worth of
ice In five summer months. This box to

Somehow or other he expected the future,

Something always did turn up, but as

Still Mlcawber drifted. Things would
surely take leap They did-in the
opposite direction.
Perhaps one of the reasons why the
old gentleman is so beloved by all of us
and why his story never fails in its
humaninterest appeal is because there
are so many Micawbers walking the
earth at the present time. He is true to
nature. But the families OF these actual
Micawbers haven't even the shelter of
the Jail offered them while their lords
and masters dream of something big turn
ing up. Men are no longer Jailed for
debts
In the meantime drifting and letting
the future take care of itself and waiting
for things to take leap is bad business.

content and failure lie that way. Don't
