DEFEATS MAQuO-

The football game between Man
chester and Maquoketa High schools
played on Mcintosh field Saturday af-
ternoon, resulted in victory for Man
chester by a score Of IL to 0. Man
chester scored in the first quarter af-
ter a steady advance down the field.
when Walter Hansel got away for IL
yards and planted the ball directly
behind the goal. Grommon failed to
kick goal, the ball striking the cross
bar. In the second quarter Carl Nor
tenson made Manchester's second
touchdown, and again Grommon fail-
ed to kick goal. The first half ended
with the ball on Maquoketa's 15-yard
line. During the intermission the Ma
ouoketa team was treated to some i'm
FASHIONED instructions and returned
for the second half with more fighting
spirit. Manchester, on the contrary,
seemed to be satisfied and failed to
push their attack, although the ball
was in their possession the greater
part of the time.
The game was very creditable

showing the result of good coaching
and executing plays of considerable
intricacy accurately. Manchester fire.
quently employed delayed pass with
success and several forward passes
were successfully made by both sides.
Although there was sleet and rain
throughout the game the fumbles were
few, and the teams played better foot
ball than is often seen on college grid
irons.

Mr. W. C.. Shields, superintendent of the bureau of education, arrived in Nome yesterday with the Nome rein deer delegation from the big reindeer fair at Mary's lgloo. He is wind scorched and brown as an Indian, having been on the trail since Jan uary last.
 Speaking of the reindeer fairs held at Noatak and Mary's Igloo this year Mir. Shields states :hat delegates from every native village between here and Point Barrow, with the exception of Shungnak, were in attendance; five men having made the hard trip from Borrow to be present
 "The district is split up so as to allow of two fairs being held, says Mr. Shields, as the territory em- braced is so large it means long trips for the various delegates, however there are many who care not for dis tancc and make it their business to attend both fairs irrespective of wea- ther condition.
 The Eskimo is a great imitator, saNs Shields, and we wan. to learn hI. to create. He is raturally of an inventive turn of mind and, if once in possession of an idea, works hard to make it materialize. The native is now making all sorts of useful things form the horns of the rein placed on the market. They have taken great interest in the racing of reindeer and keep race times. and

Deadly Raindrops.

The fercest bombardment conceiva-
BILE would not be nearly so destructive
to human life as an ordinary shower
If it were not for the protective cover
ing of our atmosphere. We live. move
and have our being at the bottom of an
air room forty miles or more deep.
Therefore we are safe not only from
falling raindrops, but from meteorites
and other wandering bodies from out
er space. But, supposing that it were
possible for human beings to exist in
an atmosphere that rose only to few
feet above their heads and that storm
clouds could form in the region out
side such low grade atmosphere, then
every raindrop would prove as fatal to
earthly creatures as if it were steel
bullet fired from a dynamite gun. AS
it is, however the resistance of our at
mosphere so materially reduces the
rate at which the raindrops fall that
they are harmless, though were 1t not
for the hindrance they encounter from
the air each drop would fall with We
locity great enough to penetrate the
fall length of a grown mans BODY.

BREEDING DAIRY
AND BEEF CATTLE
SHOULD BE KEPT SEPARATE TO
! SECURE GREATEST
PROFITS.
PREVENT CROSS BREEDING
Pure Bred Animals Should Be Kept
Fer Breeding Purposes and
Net Be Vealed.

College Park, Feb. 22.-The inn
portance of keeping the different
types of grade and pure bred animals
separate is set forth in an article
recently issued to the breeders OF
dairy and beef cattle by s. S. Buck
ley, Animal Industry Extension
Specialist Among other things in
this article, he says: Breeding OF
dairy cattle and dairying, and breed
ing of beef cattle and feeding, repre-
sent two legitimate and distinct in
dustries in Maryland. Each has its
individual and circumscribed sphere,
yet each is handicapped by merging
The result is that neither industry
represents the greatest degree of eff
cheney, nor returns the greatest
amount of profits possible through a
more distinct separation of the two.
"To this end there should be rec
ognized by the breeders of each class
of animals, the distinct and definite
fields of the other.
"The practice of using animals OF
recognized beef characters for dairy
purposes and the use of animals OF
dairy characters for beef production
! is detrimental to the breeders Of each
land to the industries which they repre-.
sent
breeders of each class should get
together by separating their work.
''Dairymen in their own interest,
should never allow grade, male dairy
bred calf to live longer than neces'
sary to produce veal.
Breeders of dairy animals should
never sacrifice to slaughter any
promising or proven valuable pure
bred bull if there is any way in which
it can be disposed Of for breeding
dairy animals.
breeders of beef animals, in their
own interests, should never allow a
grade, male beef bred calf to become
mature unless castrated, nor should
they allow any such calf to be vealed
If possible to prevent it.
breeders of both classes of cattle
for their mutual interests and the in
dustries which they represent, should
discourage in every way possible the
crossing of dairy and beef bred ami
mails.
"The two industries are well de
fined, though closely related. Strict
adherence to the legitimate spheres OF
each will benefit the breeders of both
and rapidly place the breeds in the
positions where the energies of the
breeders are striving to place them"
