Some people say that farming is
somewhat of a gamble, in that
no one knows what to raise this
year to make the biggest profit
because the market on the arti-
Gle at harvesting time cannot be
forecasted. But that cannot be
so, because many farmers are
now reaping the benefit from a
little study of the market con-
conditions, and now have the

which are bringing the highest
prices. But there is one way a
farmer can almost insure a good
profit on a years work. and that

All Indians Not Western.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press is
unable to believe the Tran
cript's statement that one will
see more typically Indian faces
in Eastport, Me-, than in any
city of Oklahoma The Pioneer
Press is evidently unaware that
Eastport is the home of the Pas
samaquoddy tribe of Indians,
and that they are very much in
evidence on the street.
Few Indians are ever seen in
an Oklahoma city-even in Mus
kogee, which is probably the
most Indian city in that state.
The nomad was once in Oklaho-
ma City several days and saw
only one Indian in all that time.
In Muskogee one might suppose
that all the tribes of Africa were
set loose, but he would never
suspect the presence of an In.
dian tribe.
There are plenty of real In
dams in Oklahoma, but they do
not frequent the cities. The
Passamaquoddies, on the other
hand, like to frequent the streets
of Eastport.
There are also a good many
Indians in Nova Scotia. One of
them satirized the points of the
compass a year or two ago by
joining a Wild West show

Ezra Moved His Well.

There is an old story about the
man who pulled up a well and
took it to a more desirable loca-
ton and another about the man
who took up a we'll, sawed it
into sections and used one of the
sections for a land roller, says
the Youths Compaion. They
were exagearations, but the ex-
perience of Ezra Tetlow proves
that a we'll cannot always be
classed as a permanent fixture.
Ezra had a well in front of his
house. 1t had never been a sue
cess as a well. Ezra wanted it
filled up. One way would have
been to haul stones or earth and
use the material to fill it. But
Ezra had no team.
So he went at it with a shovel.
Working on the side of the well
next to the road he began to dig
and to throw the the dirt into
the well, which was not a diff
cult job as the we'll was rather
shallow.
But when the task Seemed fin
ished Ezra found that he had
made new hole by the side of
the one he had been filling. There
was but one thing to do-he pro-
ceeded to fill it in the same man.
ner. Of course this resulted in
still another excavation, which
in turn received similar treat
ment.
AS all of Ezra's digging has
been on the side of the we'll near
est the road the result was that
the hole in in the ground was
finally moved out to the high
way.
Judson Tolliver was comment
ing on the exploit one day down
at the corners. "Queer thing
Ezra did," he remarked. "You
know that old well that stood in
his front yard? Well, sir. he
moved it 80 feet from where il
was-moved it clear out into the
road!"
How'd he do it?" inquired
another representative citizen.

BIRMINGHAM TEAM
 LEAVES FOR FINAL GAME AT GREENSBORO

The Birmingham College Panthers de- parted early this morning for Greens boro, where they play the Southern uni versity football team this afternoon.
 This is the last game of the season for the Panthers and they feel confident that they will ring up another victory, thereby having a very successful schedule The eleven has only lost one game and that
 to the University of Alabama in their initial contest. Much credit is due the team, which is the strongest eleven whlca has ever represented the Method1sts
 Coach Charlie Brown deserves much praise for his untiring efforts in develop
 ing such a powerful machine He has been a favorite with the players all sea son and has taught them much football.
 His work will go down in history as a
 record year for the Old Gold and Black. Never have so many strong teams been defeated by the Partners with as much
 ease a the teams played this season.
 Southern university is very quiet about
 their strength and little can be learned about them Rumors report that they
 have strengthened in the past two weeks and are using every effort to score a
 victory over the Partners. A number or Southern players, including the coach were present SalurOdy, "Heii i'li hiiiiS ham defeated Howard, but they did not gain any information as to the style of play which will be used against them. Again Southern university figures that

.VANDY-S Y-SEWANEE
 CLASH SPECULATION

Nashville, November 29.-With "Rab- bit" Curry, Vanderbilt's brilliant quar- terback, still lame from a wrenched aiikIe, sustained in the Auburn game, and indications of a slow field, the outcome of the twenty eighth annual meeting between the Commodores and Sewanee admittedly is purely mat ter of speculation. Curry Is certain to start at his position but that it will be impossible for the Vanderbilt of fensive star to stand up under the grind of more than one period is an accepted fact.
 Outside of Curry for Vanderbilt and Herring for Sewanee both elevens are reported to be in excellent condition Fears for a slippery field have been partially dispelled through weather forecasts of fair and moderately cold weather, which should afford both teams an opportunity to rely to a greater extent upon their aerial at tack. which Is expected to provide the chief ground gaining dependence since both elevens possess rugged de- fense

Not in recent years has interest in any high school game reached such point. Bessemer has chartered several special cars and over 2OO0 will attend. Central followers will also be out in full force. Centrals spirit in the game was shown by a parade by members of the school yesterday afternoon In which fully 300, headed by the drum corps of the Boy Scouts, paraded the downtown streets.
 Bessemer occupies the favorite end in the betting, but at that Central is expect ed to upset the dope. Bessemer's chief advantage over the Central warriors lies in their weight, having an advantage of over Il pounds to the man over the Pritchard machine. The speed of Central is, however, expected to overcome this handicap
 NO ALIBIS TO OFFER
 Coach Pritchard has practiced his men faithfully for the past two weeks for the game and stated yesterday afternoon that if defeated he would have no alibi to offer. Coach Collier of Bessemer has been drilling his men on Central plays for the past three weeks and has them on edge for the battle. He, likewise, stated ttat he would have no alibi to offer in case he was defeated.
 Bessemer places great hopes in Charlie Scott the fleet footed halfback. Scott IS, without 8 doubt the best halfback in high school football today and the sue cess of Central depends upon the ability of the Central eleven to stop his rushes around the Hanks. Bessemer is also ex- pected to use the forward pass consid- erably.
 In case neither team should be able to penetrate their opponents goal line, the battle may be decided by field goal. Snyder is fairly accurate drop kicker for Bessemer while Jackson has demon- strated his ability in Centraps games thus far. Both men are good for high school teams and must be watched.
 CENTRAL ON EDGE
 Central is in better condition for the game than at any time previously this year. Coach Pritchard has several good substitutes in case any of the first string men should be knocked out.
 Neither team has been defeated by a high school team this season and the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-11-30

result of the game holds In doubt the championship of the state. For this req son, if none other, the game would be hard fought, but together with the fact that rivalry exists as far back as ten years ago, means that the game will be the hardest contested in years.
 Despite the fact that the betting odds are on Bessemer, Central should win the battle Their wide gathering of trick plays is expected to baffle the Bessemer boys, while should they fail Coach Pritchard has other plays he can work.
 Officials have not been announced for the game.

With Georgia crippled, the two eleV- ems will enter the battle practically even ly matched. The fact that Georgia out weighs Alabama causes the betting odds to favor the former, but at that the Crimson is expected to win.
 Coach Cunningham has completely re- modelled his team within the past few days and should Georgia win, it would be big feather in the popular coach s hat. He has shifted Neville, the big fullback, to a guard position and has filled this place with Moore, freshman, who has shown well thus far. At the other guard Bull Garmany, the big cen ter, will be stationed, while Pew will be pulled in from end to play the pivotal position.
 Dezzendorf has been taken from the backfield and placed on one of the Hanks with Tate, who has been playing splen- did game Captain Thrash and McCon- nell will appear at tackles as usual. At quarterback Donnelly, a good kicker and general, will occupy the lmelight. Cole man and Ferst will play the halves. both being excellent offensive players. Moore will play fullback, as stated above
 BACKFIELD STRONG
 The backfield will be exceedingly strong and if they can play together with any consistency, it will be hard quartet to SlOp. HIS, however, IL very dllLiSulI to do with but little practice. Coleman has been out of school for the past two weeks but returned in time to round into form.
 Donnelly is a dangerous kicker. He is good for a field goal anywhere within the 30-yard line. Against the Navy he booted the oval from the 42-pard line for Geor- gia's only score. His punts average 5O yards.
 Coach Kelley will make several chan ges, but whether he will offer new formation for the approval of the specta- tors remains to be seen. It is quietly rumored around Crimson followers that Kelley will startIe the fans with new formation-even more than he did with his formation which gained prominence by its successfulness in the Sewanee game.

The Georgia squad, 22 strong, ar rived in. Birmingham late last night and at once went to the Tutwiler ho- tel. Coach Cunningham stated that his squad was in fairly good condition, but would be greatly handicapped by the loss of Jim Reynolds, the star half back, who suffered broken leg in practice last Saturday.
 The Georgia lineup will be entirely different from any previous this season. Coach Cunningham has been forced to make numerous shifts in his line and backfield to cope with the Alabama style of play The Georgia line, it is under stood. is the heaviest to represent the Red and Black in the history of the school.
 ALABAMA OUT-WEIGHEDs
 Georgia will outweigh Alabama and by a good margin. The followers of the Crimson are of the opinion that the speed of their team will offset this ser1- ous handicap. Alabama displayed won- derful form in the games against Sewa- nee and Tech and provided they can re- peat, Georgia is almost certain to suffer defeat
 The Cunningham eleven is demoralized as is the Crimson. The fact that Georgia suffered defeat from Tech and Alabama from Tulane on the same day causes the followers of both elevens to predict their team will "come back" In regard to this the odds favor the Crimson, Their poor showing against Tulane and con sequently their defeat was due to the desire of several members of the squad to take in the bright lights of New Orleans.
 A number of the squad have had their letters held up, pending their showing in the game today. If they fail to "come back they will be denied their emblems, while if they do. Alabama will feel sat isfiied and so will they. Crimson fol- lowers point out that their boys will "come back

CTS have had more bad luck through injuries to players than any team in the south this year and will be com pelled to play without Jim Reynolds al half. Alabama is expected to stage comeback" from the poor showing against Tulane. The Crimson is strong and by taking advantage of a team weakened by changes in the lineup should be returned the victor.
