HIGH SCHOOL 13
COMPANY { ZERO
FIRST BATTLE OF COMPANY
GRID SQUAD RESULTS IN
TRIMMING BY w. H. S.

Company E of this city lost its
first battle.
However the opponents were not
Germans and there was no firing done.
The company was simply trying to
dispute the football supremacy with
the high school team and the score
was 13 to 0 in favor of the students.
The company boys have not had
a great deal of practice and the loss
of the ball by both teams on fumbles
was the only feature that marred the
contest from spectators point Of
view. The high school carried the
ball to the one yard line twice in
the early part Of the game only to
lose the ball and the chance to score
on fumbles. The high school again
took the ball after Company men
punted and made some good gains by
straight work. A good forward pass,
Bruegger to Greengard then gave the
school boys a chance to score and
Greengard carried the ball behind the
line for the first counter. Bruegger
missed goal.
The second touchdown was made
by straight plays the students work.
ing the soldiers hard and finally
pushing Bruegger across for the Sec
ind touchdown. Ike also kicked goal
making the score 13 for the high
school boys.
Tho there was much hard play af-
ter that there were no more scores
made chiefly because of fumbling.
The high school boys had just an edge
on the Company boys, thru more
practice. On defensive play the high
school boys showed great stuff hold
ing twice on the one-yard line.
Coach Cutting is now giving most
of his attention to overcoming the
fumbling and hopes by hard work to
have this feature we'll in hand when
the state contests begin. Greengard
and Heffernan showed improved form
in getting forward passes and Brueg-
gers passing is getting better each
game. The line men performed we'll,
the holding for four downs on the one
yard line being the feature of the
game and a considerable feat consid-
ering the size of their opponents.

A Habit Stanley Had.

1t was remarked Of the late Sir II. Nj.
Stanley during his last visit to New
York that he stood all the time with
his back to the wall during receptions
instead of standing out where people
would pass behind him.
Lady Stanley laughingly explained
that this was an old habit contracted
in Africa-that Stanley always stood
with his back against tree or a bar
ricade of some sort when brought in
contact with the savages, and it had
become such habit with him that he
took that position no matter where he

UPRUSH OF THE SAP.

Force II Exsrts In Its Mysterious Flow
Through the Plants.
Even now the causes which underlie
the great upward flow of sap in the
spring are not completely understood.
That the movement is accompanied by
considerable force has been demon
strated In remarkable manner.
In the spring season, when the sap Is
rising with great vigor, the stem Of a
grapevine was cut right across. With
as little loss Of time as possible piece
Of bladder was tied over the surface of
the wounded part. As fixed the blad-
der was in state Of collapse, but 1t
did not remain in this condition long.
Within half an hour 1t was obvious
that it contained good deal OF liquid.
As time went on the amount of fluid
matter increased so much that the
bladder was quite full. Two hours
after fixing the bladder was so dis
tended that It was lifted right up. An
hour later the pressure had increased
to such a degree that the bladder
burst, being unable to stand the strain
any longer.
In this connection it is interesting to
recall the experiment Of Dutrochet,
also with a grapevine stem. In this
case bent tube containing mercury
was affixed to the cut stem in such a
manner that any fluid coming from the
plant would have to lift the column Of
quicksilver. In one of his experiments
1t was shown that the sap raised the
column Of mercury to the height Of
thirty inches. Dutrochet calculated
that in such case the force exercised
by the sap was FIVE times greater than
that Of the blood in the crural artery
Of the horse. 1t requires no student Of
anatomy to appreciate the force Of this
decentralization American.

MONSTER BLUE" WHALES.
The Most Gigantic Creatures 1hls
World Has Ever Known.

The Most Gigantic Creatures This
World Has Ever Known.
It has been said that the first duty Of
q whale is to be large. The blue whale
Is then the most successful whale, for
1t is the largest creature which has
ever existed on the earth or In its
waters. Even those extinct giant rep
tiles, the dinosaurs, which splashed
along the borders Of the inland seas Of
Wyoming and Montana 100000 years
ago, could not approach blue whale
either in length or weight.
In 1908 blue whale was weighed in
sections at Newfoundland. The animal
was seventy-eight feet long, thirty-1ve
feet around the shoulders. the head
was nineteen feet In length and the
tail sixteen feet from tip to tip. The
total weight was sixty-three tons. The
flesh weighed forty tons, the blub-
Der eight tons, the blood, viscera and
baleen seven tons and the bones eight
tons.
Exaggerated accounts Of the size Of
blue whales are current even In repu-
table books on natural history, but the
largest specimen which has yet been
actually measured and recorded Is
1877 feet long, stranded few years ago
upon the coast Of New Zealand. It
must have weighed at least seventy
five tons.
Whales are able to attain such an
enormous size because their bodies are
supported by the water in which they
live. A bird Is limited to the weight
which its wings can bear up In the air.
A land animal If it becomes too large
cannot hold its body of the ground or
readily move about and is doomed to
certain destruction. But whale has
to face none Of these problems and can
grow without restraint.
Because whales live in a supporting
medium their young are Of enormous
size at birth, in some instances the calf
being almost half the length Of its
mother. once took a twenty-five foot
baby, which weighed about eight tons,

THE MILESTONE

When we speak of millstones, we
speak of them only in that sense
pictured in the Bible, that they are an
enormous weight fastened to some
bOdy's neck to pull him to the bot
tom of the sea.
As unfortunate as it may be, it is
nevertheless true that in every COM
munity will be found some who stand
eternally against every progressive
hope or measure entertained by that
society of which they are a part.
Thus we may divide every community
into three distinct classes of people
First, those who are progressive; sec
Ond, those who are progressive ;
and third, those who don't give a
continental what happens in the
community And incidentally we will
say that we have forty-fold more re-
sPect for the fellow who stands out
and out against the progressive ambi-
tiOns of the country, than the fellow
who hasn't the community pride. and

make a decision either for or against

must pay the labOrers an unheard OF
price for help. Some were demand
ing as high as forty cents an hour,
which. however would not have ma
terially hurt, but in addition to il
all, when the crops were gathered,
they couldn't obtain either boxes for
the apples, or the cars TO carry the
produce to the consumer
AS a result of all this, such men
as c. l. Pittman, John Baisch and
others are now tearing up a part OF
their immense orchards. The ques-
tons now confronting us, are: are
we to lose that promising and impor-
tant feature of Twin Falls county s
productiveness. With no criticisms
to offer, it is indeed unfoEtunate for
the tract that this has necessarily
happened. Those tearing up parts OF
their orchards are as follows: c. L.
