and find them in good condition
Third. The Grand Jury made care
full examination OF the Public Examin-
er's reports submitted for the years
1915 and 1916. From such examinar
tion we find that 1t has heretofore been
the custom Of the various county
clerks and recorders to retain for their
own use the sum OF twenty-five cents
(25c) for each and every hunting H.
cense issued by the clerk.
|. The supreme court OF the state in
the case OF Ell Paso county vs. Sheldon
has recently decided that these moneys
are the property Of the county. and
not of the clerk. consequently this
Jury recommends that the county com
missioners make a demand upon the
various county clerks for the sum OF
money so retained by them, and II
necessary enforce such demand by
suitable action at law against the clerk
or clerks and their bondsmen.
We further find that up to and in

Tha Grand Jury has not deemed II ad
visable to determine whether the col

in view of the fact that the criminal
statute OF limitations has run against
the acts of this nature.

The Winning Factor
What is the winning factor in war? Here
Is one answer from Emerson.
1--WE reclsoned the improvements of the
art OF war among the triumphs of science.
and yet Napoleon conquered Europe by the
bivouac which consisted of falling back ON
| naked ralor and disencumbering it of all
aids"
There are many factors to be considered
| in any competitive game.
But to find one more important than
"naked valor' is no light task
After
AFTER the war is over. a bystander OBJ
serves. what thrill will a man find in
making a four-foot putt who has fought
his way across No Mans Land from one
shell hole to another?"
He might not find as great n thrill, but
he will at least come upon a more expansive
content.
AS Lieutenant Milne remarked:
when the war is over and the Kaiser's out
of print,
I'm going TO buy some tortoises and watch
the beggars sprint.
When the war is over and at last the sword
we sheath.
| I'm going TO keen a jellyfsh and listen to
il breathe"
This, from one of those at the front, is
at least the essence OF a reply.
We have been invincible for more than
three years"

FOOTBALL REQUIRES MORE DRILLING
THAN ANY OTHER SPORT AND TEAM
WORK IS A MOST VITAL FACTOR
Two Champions Larry Jenkins British Golf Title
holder, and Georges Carpenter, the Boxer,
Have Been at the Front Three Years
BY GRANTLAND RICE

A CORRESPONDENT writes to inquire
"A which game profits most by coaching
football, baseball, rowing, basketball. tennis
golf or track.
There is very little argument to be wasted
here.
The answer is--football.
Football requires coaching above any two
games mentioned through the list,
For coaching Is not only needed in the
way Of individual instruction, but for the
development of team play.
And team play Is a more vital factor III
football than in any other sport.
War and Peace
If any land in the world should know the
value of team play the answer Is America.
In her two greatest games, baseball and
football, hundreds of thousands of her citi-
zens have been shown that teamwork Is
one of the mightiest factors.
This knowledge and this instruction
should help her in war as well AS peace.
She has been taught for several decades
that a team of all stars which failed to
work together could not overthrow Il COM
pact rivalry using the needed team play.
Knowing all this and having 1t proved be-
yond all doubt. America isn't very likely 10
discard teamwork values very long.
4 Few Left
Among the multitude of great athletes
wearing British or French uniforms who
have fallen. there are still "A few notables
left.
Two champions went to the front back
in August, 1914 and have been at the front
ever since, having baked death for more
than three years. One of these is Larry
Jenkins, golf champion of Great Britain
The other is Georges Carpenter. the French
boxing champion.
They remain among the few survivors of
that first Allied army. two of the most not
able who have escaped.
Jenkins won the amateur championship
.he year that America sent Travers. Ouimet
and Evans TO Sandwich in one Of the great
est International fields ever gathered

fifth green in late May. In early August
he was wearing khaki. ready to start for
France.

AMERICAN AV|ATORS
KILLED IN France
These Are 0. H. Chadwick
and c. ]. Bidde---One
Other Is a Prisoner

Paris, Aug. 22.--Death of o. H. Chad
wick of Lowell, Mass, and Aviator
Biddle, also an American, in recent
fighting on the west front, was con
firmed in front dispatches today. Cor
poral Harold Willis of Boston, mem
ber of the Lafayette eseadrille was an
nounced as a prisoner of war of the
Germans.
Recent lists of Americans with the
French aviation service received from
the Paris bureau of the United Press
showed Charles Julian Biddle, of
Philadelphia, and Andlusia, Pa, as hav-
ing recently been in training at Camp
D'Avord. The cable above did not give
initials of the Biddle reported lost.
Corporal Willis has made a distin-
guished record with the Lafayette es-
cadrille. He is 81 and early in the war
served with the American ambulance
field service. His father is j. B. Willis,
ON the staff of the Christian Science
Publishing company, Boston.
On July IA, Willis was reported Of
ficially as surviving five battles with
German airmen in the week just closed.
Three of these combats occurred in one
day.
Chadwick was a graduate of Harvard,
where he achieved distinction in athlet-
les.
