The week end was sad one for the

better team. Marshalltown took the
Oskaloosa team into camp by one

capable Of playing but did not deliver

Dodge had more the earmarks of real
football than any meeting of good

wa secured the contract for the big
bridge which Jefferson county is to
erect over Skunk river at Merrimac

county and has been condemned by
the board of supervisors and also the
Iowa highway commission. It will take
several months to complete the work
as there is large amount of concrete
work to do before the spans can be

OF NEW ASSOCIATION

Chicago, Nov. 2O.-Chicago, Indian

town (Pa), Providence and Des
Moines are few of the speedways
which will send forth teams of racing
drivers in 1917 to joust on the gasoline
circuit for the fame of their respec-

The financing of racing groups to
represent the various tracks has at
last been made possible by the forma-
ton, at the Chicago Automobile club
on Wednesday, November Is. of the
American Speedways association. All
the major and minor speedways were
represented, either in the person of
their manager or by proxy. The asso-
citation has been tentatively under way
for some time, and that it is not alto
sether q matter of financial self in
terest for the speedways interested, is
shown by the amount of time which
has been spent in ascertaining the
opinions of the drivers and that por-
ton of the sporting public interested
In automobile racing. Hitherto racing
events on speedways have had to have
the sanction Of contest board, con-
sisting of members of the American
Automobile association.

IOWA'S CAPTAIN is
CREDITED WITH WIN

Des Moines, Nov. 20. Captain Laun
OF the state university fotball team
won the championship Of the state for
his team Saturday at Ames by one Of
the most superb exhibitions of kicking
seen in Iowa games for some time.
Laun and Reed also held the Ames
back feld most Of the time and looked
far better than the, far famed pair
OF Iowa end men. Except for the con-
stantly changing lead and the breaks,
which kept the crowd on edge, the
zane was slow while poor handling
Of the ball from scrimmage by Ames
and poor handling of kicks by both
teams made the game an apparently
haphazard scrap. Laun's kicking stood
out over every other factor in the
dnal result and was not added to any
very great extent by the Iowa ends,
willing as they were. for the great
Iowa captain generally placed at the
side lines where it was impossible to
return his kicks.

Japan Sent us Fragrant
HoneySuCkle; Now a New
Variety Comes From China

Years ago Japan sent to this coun-
try a vigorous green vine which won
favor through its lavish display Of
fragrant white flowers in late spring.
For time the vine and flowers were
kept with the bounds of gardens,
lawns and parks. Then 1t ran away.
Today you'll find 1t roaming along the
roadside, climbing stumps and hedges.
1t needs no gardener, for it can take
care of itself. It's the honeysuckle.
The japanese variety which ran
away joined some of it's American cou-
sins, who are just as pretty and just
as fragrant There's the coral honey
suckle. for example, a famous porch
climber in the southern states, with
trumpet-shaped flowers, red outside
and scarlet within. In England they
have the wOodbine, q cream-colored
fragrant relative of the honeysuckle.
Recently there came a new variety
from China, where it was found on the
tops of mountains 5000 feet above the
sea. It's foliage is almost evergreen,
and the flowers are reddish bronze.
Another variety has red flowers, with
yellow and buff markings.
There's no need to hunt for the
honeysuckle. Its fragrance will an
nounce itself before you're near
enough to see it.
