THE FARM NEVER
SAW THEM AGAIN

Brown was prosperous Iowa farmer
His fields were fertile and well TILED
His buildings were the best in tic
neighborhood. He had large family
of boys, but his specially was hogs.
The hogs had clean pens, steam heat,
and fresh water. They prospered, and
Brown as bank account grew according
ly
One day a'scrub SOW strayed off, and
had litter of pigs. She killed all but
three and Brown told Jimmy, who was
too young to work in the fields, that
if he would take care Of the SOW and
the three runts he could have the pigs.
Jim was tickied. Other boys in the
community had calves, colts and pigs
of their own. Now he could talk of
his stuff. That the pigs did not die of
gout is seven days wonder The boy
was feeding them almost constantly
Jim planned to sell two, buy his moth
.er and sister Christmas presents, and
put the rest of the money in the bank.
When he became aNman he would make
purebred hogs his business.
The pigs lost their runtiness and
Brown watched them with a glad eye.
Ono day he was shipping a load and
needed few to fill out. SO Jim IS
three went along. The lad said nothing
for he thought his fathef would give
him the money. But he didn't. Jim Is
mother spoke to her husband about it,
but he was indifferent. He did remem-
Der something about giving the boy
the pigs, but as for giving him the
money, that vs. liffereat thing.

there was money in cattle and hogs and
they wanted to pick up few head.
They. tried to persuade him to buy new

They argued that with riding tools

too much risk in cattle, and it cost too

would hold the navy to q close score,
the Redmen having played the best
football during the early weeks OF the
season OF any OF the small elevens.
Experts were OF the opinion that
Coach Harris had developed a for

The question of staging an Army
Navy Rridiron battle for the con-
elusion Of the present season is caus-
ing no little discussion among the
officials at Uncle Sans service
schools. Although Secretaries Baker
and Daniels have ordered that all
branches Of intercollegiate sport
should be continued by the future
generals and admirals during the
duration Of the war, permission to
hold an Army-Navy contest has not
been granted.
Secretaries Baker and Daniels
would make q popular move by CIV
inE permission for the annual grid
iron game between the middies and
their West Point rivals. The fact
that the sport IL being INDUCED in at
both service schools with outside ag-
sregatIons should serve as precedent
enough for the lifting Of the official
ban against this seasons game.
would Aid war Charity.
The fact that Yale, Harvard and
Princeton have abandoned the sport
would make a game between the ser
vice elevens the classic OF the sea
son. BY charging q liberal admis-
sion fee q sum close to 100000 could
be raised for some OF the many
worthy charities. Thousands OF DOL
lars which would not otherwise hnd
q resting place In the treasures Of
these charitable funds would be
realized.
A game staged under favorable con-
ditions at the Polo Grounds. or the
Yale Bowl, would attract = record
gate. Even the Yale-HArvard at
tendance at New Haven last season,
which established a new record mark,
would be eclipsed by the assemblage
that would surely attend an Army
Navy game under the present cohdi-
tIonB.
1t is likely, too, that such q con-
test would DO much to arouse en-
thusIasnf for both branches Of the
service. Thousands OF lads who
would attend the game might be won
over to either the army or navy.
The Academy authorities believe
that the annual gridiron contests
have done much TO attract the best
youths OF the country TO West Point
and Annapolis. We all have great
admiration for the men who wear the
west Point gray or the Annapolis
blue, but after witnessing such an In
spirinE spectacle As is annually Of
fered By the corps OF these Rcade-
mics at their gridiron game the feel
ing of admiration is increased a
thousandfold.
No one could possibly attend an
Arny-Navy game and not be stirred
by the appearance and discipline OF
these lads.
MIddIes Eager for Game.
The middies have never been more
anxious to clash with their army
rivals than they are today.
The superb work of the Annapolis
aggregation against Coach Harris
Carlisle Indians on Saturday speaks
volumes for the quality OF football
that IS being played by the future ad.
