Mrs. C. '. Hale Gets Returns for
 Knitted Goods for Soldiers

Mrs. C V. Hale, who left a few days on visit to Tucker, Ark, and who has taken a very active part in supplying knitted comforts for our Soldiers, requests The Star, for the information of the other workers, to publish the following letter, which accompanied a formal receipt for i2 pairs of wristlets, scarfs, helmets. i6 pairs of socks and 1 sweater:
 Chicago. Sept. 20. 1917. Mrs. c. V. Hale, Mena, Ark.
 My Dear Mrs. Hale. Your letter of the 18th was followed shortly by your supply of knitted goods, which we were very glad to receive We congratulate you on the quality of the goods sent, as the sweater and searfs were excellent. The socks we would preferred to have finished with our Kitchener toe, but we ap- preciate the difficulty of manufac- turing this without personal in- struction and have, therefore, been very glad to place your contribu- tion in our collection that is to go to our boys in France.
 If you manufacture any more helmets, please make the opening for the face smaller, as the boys wish to be just as closely screened against the cold blasts of the upper air as possible.
 We hope that you will be able to keep up your knitting in your new home, and if you desire any further yarn please let us know.
 Hoping that we shall continue to hear from you, and thanking you for your earnest endeavors in our be- half, Very truly yours.

DObie'S Football Lessons
Ho1U to Make Interference
Bx GlLMoUR poRlE.

There are two kinds of interfer-
ence: in one the shoulder is used,
in the other the man throws his body
horizontally across the lower part OF
his opponents body. 1t is very I'M
portant that football players should
thoroughly master both forms.
Shoulder interference is most ef-
fectively used by the backs in block
ing off defensive ends and in cases
where the men are running too fast to
permit OF the diving interference. In
all cases where the ends and line
men are sent down to get the second
airy defense, ! think the most effec
tive form is the diving interference.
Under the same heading may be
treated the opening of the line by
the linemen.
This is most important and really
is the keynote to successful line-buck-
ing. no back, however fast and pow
erful, can penetrate good line un-
less the line first has been opened
or partially opened by the teammates.
The end should be we'll drilled in
boxing the opposing tackler and this
can Lest lie accomplished by hook
irg the tackle just about waist-high
with. the shoulders and carrying him
either to the right or left, whichever
the play calls for. In cases where
the tackles play directly in front OF

p None of the partisanship or "Non-

Adjutant General Fraser asserts.
1.-THE boards have done their work
with remarkable efficiency, and with
an excellent spirit. | believe every
board in North Dakota has done its
work conscientious!y and to the best
of its ability There is no question
that some men have been held who
should have been discharged. and that
others have been exempted who
should have gone, but the local
boards action in these cases has been
based on affidavits which seemed hon
est and conclusive And these men
have final reckoning coming from
the district board, to which their cas-
es have been appealed" said the adj
iutant general. =,
He referred to the fact that in many
instances where graft has been charg-
ed in the exemption or discharge of a
certain individual, investigation failed
to produce any one who would come
to the scratch and formally file such
charges or present any satisfactory
evidence.
