Magazine Football
Sorry Game.

The literature Of sport has become
worth while within the last few years
thanks to Ring Lardner and Charles
Van Loan, who write Of baseball and
golf without forcing new rules and
impossible conditions upon the games
But time ought to be taken out for
| the football literati. Their stuff is
as unlikely as a punt on the first
down inside the enemys fiveyard line.
| James Hopper, who may be remem-
bered as the author Of fantastic tale
| of the spit balls origin, contributed an
exasperating story of football as it
could not be played to Golfers Weekly
recently, and the current issue of the
magazine contains football legend
scarcely less painful by one Octavus
| Roy Cohen. No football fan can read
either story and survive.
/ The Hopper tale introduces with
marvellous ingenuity, twin stars who
| cannot be distinguished One is d
legitimate player; the other a high
school ringer. Together they win
a championship BY combining to beat
the ancient rule which forbade the
quarterback to carry the ball. The tale
is guaranteed to wiring prayers from
any football coach-which is the limit.
Cohen's hero is a marvellous 80 year
old tackle who plays indifferently and
with distaste, yet outclasses all other
candidates for Yale 1disguised)

Itraordinary Harvard team. His moral

Superintendent Herbert Pryor is
excusing High School boys to go
home and work on the farms. They
will get due credit on their grades.
The following enlisted this week:
Alvin Beamer, Clyde Nichols, Leo
Shire, Alvin Vaughn, all going to their
homes. Luther Brown will be en-
ployed with Lester Miller, just west
of Mexico. Emmett Stephens will
assist on VIM. Harrelson's farm,
southwest of Mexico.
The boys are to report at Mcmillan
this fall, showing that they have
made good.
The State Superintendent OF
Schools is suggesting this move to
every high school in the State. We
must get ready to raise sufficient to
eat during the war.

Bro. Simons; and he enjoyed it l
am sure.
We lived at mothers home for a
few months. Then we moved to
Youngs Creek, and began preaching
for a church called, in after years,
Midway. We rented a place from a
man whose name 1 cannot recall just
now. 1t was a very good old house,
good outbuildings, but all old and in
a dilapidated condition. 1t was a
good place for snakes, especially
blacksnakes. We had fairly good
chicken house. My wife encountered
one of the large blacksnakes in the
chicken house one day-large, black
fellow. 1t had taken possession of
the principal nest and was going for
young chicks. My wife went for him
with all her might. She called for
help and we both captured him, dead
of course-for 1 assure you we were
not as afraid of him dead as alive.
But this little episode did up our
chicken enterprise at that place, as
we were both afraid of snakes. We
decided to move to Mexico. I closed
my work with Midway Church. That
was thirty years ago. I had some
grand and noble friends there, among
them, and the best of all, were Jacob
Goodnight and Bro. Thomas Moo
nan, the Bryans, and others, who
were members of the church. I did
not know but little about them. 1
guess gave good satisfaction as I
never was invited to preach there
any more. Jacob Goodnight and al
so Bro. Noonan have been called
home.

STUDENT LOSES SUIT.
Once Tried i'm Audrain--SupFeme
Court Reverses-PlaintifP Now
Lives Near Vandalia.

After five trials in six years, the
decision in the case of c. E. Carey,
B. s. in c. E. '04, against DR.. c. M.
Jackson, former Dean of the School
of Medicine, was completely reversed
by the st. Louis Court of Appeals a
few days ago in favor of DR.. Jackson,
says the University Missourian.
Mr.. Geary, for several years prior
to 1909, was manager of the Univer-
sity cooperative store. In June, 1909,
Mr.. Geary resigned his position and
started the Missouri Store. Some time
later an assembly was called to elect
a new Board of Managers and to dis
cuss business matters. Mr.. Geary
claimed that Jackson there made SLAM
derous remarks concerning him and
his methods of business. He filed
suit for $4,000 damages.
The final trial, June 10, in the
Boone county Circuit Court, resulted
in hung jury, and change of venue
" uo 81 w LhC Auli all w. I'll
cult Court. In the second trial, the
court gave a verdict of $1,000 for
the plaintiff. The court granted a
new trial, and on June 12, 1918, a
verdict of $2,250 was given against
the defendant.
The case was then appealed to the
Supreme Court of Missouri and was
transferred to the st. Louis Court
of Appeals. In a decision rendered
just a few days ago, the former de-
cisions were completely reversed. The
case against DR.. Jackson was dis
missed, and the court costs of about
$500 were placed on Geary.
Doctor Jackson is now connected
with the University of Minnesota, and
Mr. Geary is on a farm near Wanda
liza.

BENNETT CLARK.
Son of The Hon. Champ, Wants to BE
a Soldier at The Front-Quits a
$4,000 Job.

Bennett Clark, only son of the
Speaker and parliamentarian of the
House, has deserted his library of
precedents to devote every spare mo-
ment to the study of military tactics.
Bennett, who is 27 years old, will
apply for a commission in the cavalry
just as soon as he feels that he is
qualified to appear before the Exam
lining Board. If accepted, as he sure
ly will be, he will relinquish his
$4,000 congressional berth for active
service.
Young Clark has had his share OF
military experience. He was a mem
ber of a cadet corps at a Washington
high school in his boyhood days and
later at the University of Missouri.
Last year he was one of 100 men
in Washington professional life who
underwent a course of training un-
der regular cavalry officers at Fort
Meyer, Va. Physically he is almost
as big as his father War Depart
ment officials who have heard of his
intentions say he will have no troub-
lie in qualifying for the Officers Re-
serve Corps.

Chapter vi began my work at
the Slaughter School House under
favorable circumstances. Among the
first accessions to the congregation
that can now recall were John Dye
and wife. People who are here now
remember John. John was nearly
always ready for fight or love-
feast. He got good deal out of
life. But John passed away several
years ago, also his wife. She was a
good woman and, in word, they had
a good, comfortable home. They
were both hospitable. l very often
enjoyed their hospitality.
I also recall old Bro. Simons and
wife. Mrs. Simons was stout old
LADY, mean she was large. The
old man had not been to church for
16 years, but he yielded after about
ten days and nights earnest pleading
on the part Of the preacher, also his
wife. He cautioned me. not to drown
his wife. 1 told him I would not if 1
could help it.
Well, I helped it, and they went
home happy.

Lieutenant Henry Gillespie and w.

brave and good man. He served four
years in the Confederate army. Bro.
BARLEY, good singer and able in
prayer and exhortation, he finally be-
came preacher. I think he is still
living; is in Jefferson City, with one
of his daughters. Sister B. passed
away several years ago. She was a
noble woman.
