"A Wonderful Question Answerer'

about william j. Spillman, chief of
the Office of Farm Management in the

the College of Agriculture.

country about How to Make the Farm

just as much as Spillman about how

NEWS
MI TX and
~ OAN Il COMMENT

Football in 1917 will not be much
different from the way it was played
this year. This is the opinion of c.
L. Brewer, athletic director at the
University. Mr.. Brewer will attend a
meeting of athletic organizations in
New York next week.
Some few points in this years rules
will be cleared up" said Mr.. Brewer.
He mentioned two that were brought
up in Missouri this year. Both of
them concerned the legality of kick
from placement. One kick in particu-
lar happened in Southeast Missouri
and decided the high school champ
ionship of that region. 1t seems that
the man receiving the ball for the kick
instead of placing it on the ground
held it suspended in the air. The
kick was made. 1t was disputed by
the opposing team, with the result
that a telegram was sent to director
Brewer asking his opinion of the kick.
Mr.. Brewer decided that the kick was
illegal as it had not touched the
ground Although the rule does not
state that the ball must be placed on
the ground, common practice has es-
tablished it.
This same point came up on nu-
merous occasions said Mr.. Brewer,
Although it isn't much involved it
should be decided in a definite man
ner" Mr.. Brewer said the athletic
organization would probably straight
en- out several other little details, but
the present rules of the game would
practically remain unchanged.

"Spillman gets more mail than the

cording to the article. "He has big
ger acquaintance on rural free deliv-

look on him as sort OF helping hand

poularly known.
1T is dull day at Spillman's of
Gee when he doesn't have a dozen or
more callers who have come to thank
him for advice that turned the trick"
But Spillman doesn't spend all his
time at helping others farm. Here is
the last paragraph of the article. AT

people how to farm intelligently. Spill

suppose he does? He seeks recreation

JOHN BECKER'S SLAYERS TRACED
Murderers of Aged Couple in Search
for $1,000 Hoard.

BY United Press
PEORIA, Dec. 1S.-Slayers of John
Becker, IS years old, and his wife, SO
years old, were trailed three miles
from the scene of the crime today. A
posse found an empty whisky bottle
which had contained kerosene. The
bottle was splashed with blood and
probably contained oil, which was
poured over the bodies after the kill
ing.
Relatives said that Becker received
$4,000 year ago, and knowledge of
his mistrust in banks is thought to
couple in their search for his gold.

Autumn Preparedness
In the Poultry Yard

By neglecting the hens now we will
fail In having eggs to sell next winter.
The poultry year practically begins in
the fall. No amount of attention given
them next winter will make up for
neglect shown them in the fall. To
be sure, feed is out Of reason almost,
but 1t won't pay to neglect the poul-
plenty of it regularly, together with
all the pure water they want and milk.
too, If 1t Is obtainable.
All the old roosters in the flock that
are not going to be kept for next sea-
son should be fed few days and TAX
en- to market. All the hens that are
not showing up we'll should go along
with them.
When we are preparing for winter
eggs We should not forget the fowls
need grit now just as much as they
did last spring. They must also be
supplied with something that will take
the place of the many insects they har-
vested last spring and summer. Either
skimmilk or buttermilk is good for
this, but beef scrap or some form of
meat should be fed the pullets when
they begin to show signs Of maturity.
Now is the time when there is much
to do to get everything in readiness
for the year to come. The henhouses
that have been occupied are in need
of thorough renovating. The hot
days of summer have bred horde of
vermin, and a good dose Of whitewash
into every crack and crevice of the
house will clean them up. If the floors
are of earth several inches Of this
should be scraped off and fresh dirt
| put in its place.

Good Kitchenware Pays

1t is not economy to buy the cheap
est kitchenware, though in the begin
ming it may cost less than half as
much as the better ware. Pans, ket-
ties, frying pans and the tea and cof-
fee pot are used hard, and these uten-
sils made of the better materials will
outwear many Of the poorer ones.
1t may not oe possible to buy a
whole outfit. but by getting piece at
a time when the set is complete 1t will
stand for a permanent investment,
and if given good care restocking
should not be necessary for many
years.

say that 2O,000,O0O men of the most
