BASKETBALL GAMES
Crack Teams in the Y. M. o. A. IeaRue to Clash Saturday Night-High
 School Playing MiddIetown Today.

Saturday nights games at the Y. M. C. A. give promise of being of the tip-top variety when the Wentworth five, the undefeated quintet in the league, will encounter the Pioneers the runner up for league honors for the second time this season. On thee occasion of the initial clash between the teams, the Kenilworths were the victors in rather easy fashion and their adherents are looking forward to a repetition Saturday night. On the other hand, the Pioneers have been coming along at a fast clip recently, them to the limit in the next clash. The game will be the opener of the night and a large crowd is anticipated. The good night game. will bring to- gether the Vikings and the Nutmegs and this encounter will also be hot one. The Vikings by their excel lent showing against the crack Kenil- worths last week, proved that they are to be considered likely opponents for the remainder of the season and the members are anxious to break into the win column.
 The New Britain High school team is playing Middletown in that city this afternoon, and while the River City boys have one of the best teams in the history Of the school, Captain Hib- bard and his boys left here confident that they would be the victor.

PENN FACULTY HAS
 A CHANCE OF HEART
Action to Depose FolWell Is Re- r SCinded-Not Seeking Increase

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-After . stormy conference which lasted more than three hours the faculty commit tee on athletics of the University of Pennsylvania last night rescinded it's action in declaring Robert c. Folwell mot acceptable" as head coach of the varsity football team. Folwell was present at the meeting and was inter- rogated for twenty-five minutes, after which it was announced by Dr. Arthur w. Goodspeed, chairman of the com mittee, that Folwells name had been placed among the tentatively approved candidates.
 Following the committees an- nouncement Monday that FolweN would not be acceptable as coach of the football squad a flood of letters, telegranis. and petitions came to the university from students and alumni urging that Folwell be retained. The {. almost universal protest against the committees action forced the second meeting last night and brought Fol- well a chance to defend himself. Bare Announcement Made. Just what took place at the meet ing and what were the questions asked Folwell were not made public. The l coach left the meeting before 8 Vote was taken and before the committed 1 finally announced that he would be in 1 line for the position. Only the follow 1 ing announcement was made by pr. l Gcodspced.
 1 committed on athletics, at which vari. 1 bus members were represented, Fol- l we'll being present, it was voted that l Folwells name be restored to the list . of the tentatively approved candt- dates for next years football coaches" Following the announcement of the | committee Monday night Folwell is- ! sued a statement in which he denied l that he had asked for $S,00O a year to
 coach the team. He said he was will ing to go back to Penn for the same 1 salary he received in 1916.
 Folwell declared he wanted anothert year on Franklin Field to vindicate his coaching ability. He asserted that one year was not enough for coach
 to build up team and show proper
 results. He declared he was expect
 ing big things from the squad next
 fall and that he felt he should en-
 joy the fruits of victory as much aS
 the players.
 | Made Fine Record.
 1 '"The old guard could not find any,
 thing to pick upon in the teams rec
 ord during the season." said Folwell.
 "I made a better showing than has
 been made at Penn for several years
 and even after that they want to oust
 me on grounds that are wholly untrue
 and absolutely outside of football.
 Folwell could not be reached last
 night to give his views and the meun-
 bers of the committee refused to con-
 cede that the action meant that Fol-
 we'll would be retained as coach.
 However, since the students ana
 friends of Folwell have won the open
 ing victory most of them are cele-
 brating under the impression that 1t
 means Folwell will coach Penn next
 fall.

Stock Shipping Associations
Making Money for Farmers

The farmers around Lansford, North
Dakota, assisted by County Agent
Humphreys, have organized coop
erative Livestock Shipping associa-
ton. This will make it pussible for
these farmers whenever they have a
carload Of stock to market it them
selves and in this way secure all that
the market pays.
When a farmer wants to sell stock
he notifies the secretary who, when
he has enough stock listed, sets a day
for shipping and the stock is brought
in and shipped to st. Paul or Chicago.
The carload or carloads will be &C.
companied by the manager or some
farmer. This brings the farmers in
closer contact with the market so that
they have a chance to learn just what
the market wants and to see just how
much better it pays to market good
stock.
In organizing livestock shippers
association a constitution and by
laws are important. The constitution
requires that name be chosen and
that the object of forming the associa-
ton be set forth. It will also define
who may become members. Member
ship is usually limited to farmers. The
association must have officers and
these are usually president, vice-pres-
ident and secretary-treasurer The
management is left to an executive
committee composed of three or more
members. The entire management. is
sometimes given to the secretary or a

PRESIDENT WILSON ON
THE COMMUNITY FORUM

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE school
house as the community forum will
he President Wilson's topic at the
Park View school, Washington, on
Lincoln's Birthday, Feb IL. The Park
View school is known as the first
school house in the city of Washing
ton designed and constructed for use
as community center This school
was also the first in Washington to be
used for community celebration
The movement for increasing the
use of public school houses as COM
munity centers and forums of citizen
ship has been endorsed by ex-Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Taft, and has re-
peatedly received President Wilson's
enthusiastic support. In 1911, when
ne was governor of New Jersey, he
gave the opening address at the first
national conference on community
center development held at Madison,
Wis. On that occasion he said, 1T is
necessary that simple means be
found by which, by an interchange of
points of view, we may get together,
for the whole process of modern poll
tics, the whole process of modern life,
is a process in which we must exclude
MISUNDERSTANDING, exclude hostilities,
bring all men into common council and
SO discover What is the common inter-
est. This is the problem of modern
l1fe.' Pointing to the opportunity
which the common school houses Of
fer to answer this common need, the
president said, "They are public build |
ings. They are conveniently distrib.
uted. They belong to the communi-
ties. They furnish ideal places in
Which to assemble and discuss public |
affairs. They are just what We need"
According to Major J. B. Merwin, of |
Conn, President Lincoln |
addressed a community gathering in a |
public school house dur
ing his administration. So far as the |
records of the Washington board of |
education show, no president since |
Lincoln has appeared under, precisely |
these friendly, Enthusiastically Amer

weight of stock sold, or so much for
each car Of stock handled. When a
member wants to ship stock he should
notify the manager as to how many
head he has, what kind of stock they
are and the approximate weight. When
enough stock has been listed to make
a shipment the manager orders a car
or cars and notifies the members as to
the day for bringing in the stock. Each
farmers stock is marked so that on
the market each lot is sold by itself.
In this way the farmer receives what
his stock actually brings. And it is
as good price as though he had
shipped a carload. When the returns
are received the manager figures up
all the expenses of shipping, such as
feed and freight, pro rates it and takes
out the amount that comes against
each shipment. He further takes out
2 or cents per hundred for protec-
ton fund. This is used to pay for
animals that may be injured or killed
in transit. The rest is returnable to
the shipper. In this way the farmer
gets all that the stock brings as only
actual expenses are taken out. The
manager accompanies the check with
complete report of the shipment so
that the shipper gets complete his.

books and blanks have been made

It also makes permanent record so
that the history of any shipment

required to furnish bond.
The agricultural extension depart
ment Of the North Dakota agricul-
tural college is ready to aid any CON-
munity in organizing cooperative
shipping association, to furnish in
formation, constitution and bylaws
and bulletin giving full information
There are many cooperative live
stock shipping associations in North
Dakota; nearly all are in county
agent territory. The farmers are
more pleased with the increased re-
turns that they are in this way Sc
curing for their stock. 1t has given
livestock raising quite boost in
these places. The county agents have
been active in urging the advantage
Of this method of selling livestock.
They have found it one of the best
means for creating better interest in
livestock production.
The cooperative livestock selling
association makes it possible for the
farmer with less than a carload Of
hogs or cattle to secure as good pric-
es as though he had a carload.
The cooperative shipping of live
stock was begun at Litchfield. Mimi,
in 1908. This association is still active
and does big business. Minnesota
now has over 200 Of these livestock
shipping associations. The leading
shipping association in North Dakota
is the South End Shippers association
with headquarters at Hope. It ships
more than carload of stock a week.
Every community ought to have a
cooperative livestock shippers asso-
citation. The great merit of the live.
stock shippers association is that a
farmer can ship few animals at any
time and secure as good prices as
though he shipped in carload lots.
