VICTORIOUS ELEVEN
 OF COMMODORES| IS
 READY FOR AUBURN

Nashville. November 1S.-(SpeciaL) The victorious Commodores arrived in Nashville little the verse for the tough scrap in Birmingham last week. As Coach McGugin is a firm beliver in that old saying, Make hay while the sun shines" no time was wasted Monday when tho team resumed practice for the game with the Auburn Plainsmen.
 Of course the Commodores are some what jubilant over the fact that Auburn was soundly trounced by the Davidson derbilters are not so foolish as to argue that the defeat of the team by David son necessarily means that the Com. modores can go and do likewise, for 1t must be remembered that while this year Davidson has one of the strongest teams in her history and that she was able even to score on the powerful Tech eleven.
 The game with the Auburn eleven next Saturday will make the third one this season which the Commodores have played with team from the state of Alabama. Howard college and the Uni versity of Alabama have been disposed of and now the question of whether the Gold and Black machine can come out victorious over the PlainsnLen remains to be seen.
 It is conceded, however, that the Com modores faHe ia harder task in meeting Auburn than they did in meeting the Alabama aggregation. Although not ic f,a ae n ba of nff 10 Plainsmen, it is a known fact that their team this year is not especially weak and that they can always be counted on to put up a hard scrap.
 Both teams have been defeated this year and so there will be no champion ship depending on the outcome of this game. but the old d-time rivalry between the two teams will be sufficient to se- cure hard fight. Much interest is be- ing manifested over the playing of the game here, and 1t will be the biggest game of the season on Dudley field.

any time previously this season. Ihe Commodores' fate lies in their offen- sive ability.
 Comparative scores using the Geor' gia Tech results as 9 foundation send the Auburnites in the fray distinct favorite Here's how it works out: Tech beat Davidson B to 10 margin of 25 points. Tech walloped Vandy S3 to Q. Davidson beat Auburn 21 to which gives Davidson a margin of 5S points over Vandy and places the Plainsmen 37 points better than the Commodores Georgia Tech is not expected to have a very hard time with the Carlisle In- dians. The Golden Tornado has yet to face a team which may offer real stubborn resistance to the powerful machine of Heisman, Strupper, Guyon etc.
 CRIMSON BATTERED Alabama journeys to Lexington to meet Kentucky States. The Crimson, battered by hard struggles with Se- vance and Vandy. will have a hard time disposing of the Kentuckians, and a defeat for Coach Kelly's boys would not cast gobs of surprise aloft.
 Other gridiron contests are not of usual importance, possibly, with the exception of the Mississippi Aggies-L $. U. game at Baton Rouge
 Saturdays games will prove the semi-finals for the majority of the terms schedules. The Thanksgiving Day games, which are two weeks from Thursday, will complete the southern gridiron season. Few colleges have games scheduled for the Saturday be- fore Thanksgiving.
 With Tech the undisputed champion, unless, of course, unforeseen develop ments occur, the fight of the remaining southerns is confined to a battle fo4 favorable ranking. And this promises to be some battle.

GOAT RAISING A
PAYING INDUSTRY
Free Grazing Lands On Railroads
Offer Excellent 0pportun-
;tiac
profit by them.


The profitable oppoI tunities for
goat raising on the free grazing
lands along the lines of the various
railroads in Arkansas was told in
an interview yesterday with Chas.
A. Chambers, industrial agent for
the Memphis, Dellas and Gulf r..
r. to an Arkansas Gazette reporter.
Mr.. Chambers was originally from
Nashville, Ark, and recently came
from his home in California to ac-
cept his present position.
90 am surprised at the amount
of free grazing range along the
railroad lines in Arkansas" he
said. 81 am sure if some stock rails
er purchased 100 acres of cleared
land adjacent TO some Of these free
grazing ranges and grew thereon
some good winter feeding forage,
he would become wealthy in a few
years. This is an ideal country to
raise goats just the ordinary kind.
i say goats in preference to sheep,
as the former are healthier and
easier to care for. Goats will thrive
on the underground in the Arkan-
sas forests, and they produce a fine,
rich quality of milk which makes
the best cheese of all milks.
BETTER THAN COWS MILK.
Goat milk is preferred to cows
milk by milk experts, and in Cali
fornia goats are often rented to
families to furnish their milk sup
ply. All one would require to raise
la large herd of goats would be a
good grazing range under the tim
her. a burro or two wearing a bell
and about three good collie sheep
dogs The dogs would protect the
animals from the 'varmints, such
as wolves and wild cats, and in a
short time would, with the aid OF
the belled burro, become trained to
run the goats into a corral at night.
Goat meat is fully as good as
mutton. Out tdil iilNiS lcll Tue
difference, and there is an unlimit-
ed demand for goat lambs III the
big city markets. Hogs could also be
raised with the goats, as one would
not interfere with the other There
is a big future in the goat business
on account Of the extent ofs grazing
ranges.
Here is another matter l wish
to suggest" said MIR, Chambers,
"Tho average Arkansas farmer
should grow at least FIVE acres OF
wheat for home consumption, This
wheat can be ground whole, pro
duoing a very nutritious -four. The
bran can be sifted therefrom and
used for stock feeding. If every
farmer grew small acreage of
wheat he would be Independent of
market fluctuations, and very ma
terially reduce his high cost of
living. With his own flour, a few
hogs and vegetable garden a
farmer could supply himself and
family with his staples, and war
or no war, he would at laest get
by in good shape"

PLUCKY ARKANSAS GIRL

"You can all stay and hear
this old coward, but am go
ing to leave" was the declar-
alton made by Miss Lucille
Mccullough, of Warren, Ark,
to an audience in a church
when the preacher made I'M
patriotic reference to Presl-
dent Wilson.
The preacher, Rev. Pleas
White, made the statement:
"What does President Wilson
care for your mothers and
your children? This war IS
not being waged for humani-
tvs. sake, but for the glorifi-
cation of wilson Thereup-
on Miss Mccullough arose
from her pew, glared at the
"pious" puppy and with a
stamp of the foot blazed her
statement and whisked out OF
the church.
Some of the brethren"
were very indignant at the
girls patriotic conduct and
induced the preacher to have
a warrant issued for her ar
rest which he readily consent
ed TO do, charging her with
disturbing religious worship.
But the preacher failed to
get consolation out of the
courts proceedings. Attorney
Clary came to the girls rescue
by branding Preacher White a
hypocrite, and said it was a
pity no man in the audience
resented the whelp's remarks,
but thank the Lord there was
a woman present who showed
the pure American patriot
ISM" The girl was promptly
acquitted of the charge.

Snakebite Bugaboos.

In 1916, lIO, O00 troops were ulS-
tributed along the Mexican border
from Brownsville, Tex, to San Die
supposed TO be more venomous
snakes and insects than in any 9th
or section of the country. What
they report in the way of harmful
bites should represent about the
last word in possibilities in this
direction. If they found that the
stories about snake bites were gross
exaggerations then you and | can
afford to keep cool if bitten by a
snake or stuns by spider.
Dr.. James Coughlan in the Jour
nal of the American Medical Asso-
citation tells of some experiences
or the New York guard. These
troops were camped in the Magic
valley region in Texas, and in no
part of the country are snakes and
insects larger, more venomous and
more plentiful. Many of the men
were bitten by scorpions. Some of
these were four inches long. | have
read somewhere that scorpion bites
were fatal. DR.. Coughlan says of
scorpion bites: "A small white area
resulted from the bite, which re-
quired as a rule several applications
of tincture of iodine" Evidently a
scorpion bite is a little worse than
wasp sting, but not much.
The worst spider bites were those
of the tarantula. Some of these tar
antulas were five inches long. Now
there are dead men surely. Surgeon
Coughlan says; ''They produced
white raised swollen areas about
an inch in diameter with a smart
ing, singing sensation. The earlier
bites were treated with iodine, but
later more instant relief was OBJ
tanned from the use of equal parts
of spirits of ammonia and water APP
piled as a wet dressing. No consti-
mtional effects were seen" About as
bad as two hornet stings-that is
all.
And then there were centipedes.
The largest seen was six inches
long. THE bites were incfsed and
drained and a wet mercuric chlor-
ide dressing applied. No constitu-
tional symptoms resulted" That is
a little worse but / have seen a
man stung by bees who was more
affected
The rattlesnakes encountered
We're called diamond backed, though
some of them were Texas rattlers
and not true diamond backs. The
largest RATHER seen was IL feet
long and had IA rattles and but
ton. Surgeon Coughlan treated six
eases of rattlesnake bite. All re-
severed.
Here is the history of the worst
ease. A man was bitten on the mid
die finger of the left hand by rat
tier. The fangs struck the bone.
When seen five minutes afterward
a little blood was oozing from the
marks. An incision about IL
inches long was made through each
fang wound. About two ounces of
blood escaped. The wounds were
swabbed out with five per cent
tincture of iodine. The fingers,
hand and forearm were bandaged
with wet bichloride dressing. A
tourniquet was applied to the arm.
