AS a fitting close to the 1917 ath-
ietlc season The A. A. U. has allowed
nine new records in track and field
events and n in tidal and tank swim.
ming events.
Practically all of the latter were
made in the fall swimming carnival at
Honolulu where American mermen
and mermaids set up new standards
in many distances.
The most remarkable of the new
marks is that of Clinton Larsen of
L'righam Young University who set a
record of feet I IS inches on the
high jump in an exhibition at Provo,
Utah, in June.
Johnny Overton of Yale set two
new marks for the year in the 1000
yard and mile runs. The record for
the former was PA, made indoors in
March. The new mile indoor record is
4.16.
Joije Ray set up new standards
for the two-mile indoor by covering
the distance in OIL 2-5.
Other running records were:
60-yard dash, indoor, .06. 20, Joe

Olga Dorfner hung up standards in
the so, 100, 22O, 800 \and 500 yard
swims in 20 foot tanks; Miss Dorothy
Burns of Saon Francisco is credited
with new marks in the so, 100 and 22(
yard swims in tidewater, and Miss
Claire Galligan for the 440 and 500
yard swims, the latter being made
under different conditions than
those which governed Miss Dorfner s
reccld-breaking effort.

There will be some decided changes
in the big league baseball when the
16 major league clubs take the field
next year.
The changes will be due to war, a
large number. of players having been
called into service by the draft and
more will go when the second draft
is made.
To the New York Giants goes the
honor of sending the first we'll known
baseball player to France. Harry
Mccormack, who few years ago was
regular with the Giants, went to
Plattsburg during the first days of
the war and was with the first con-
tingent to be sent over.
- Eddie Grant, another former Giant,
was also in Plattsburg and is now a
captain at Camp Upton.
Other Giants in service are Out
fielder Kelly who joined the colors in
California and Dave Robertson, who
was in the first draft and is making
an effort to get in the medical corps.
Robertson recently finished course
in medicine.
Kauff, Perritt. Schupp, McCarty,

,Paris.-Paris cabmen have not yet
decided whether the American SOL

welcome addition to their patrons.
When the men from across the sea first
arrived they were all hailed by the
cabmen as millionaires and the tips
they received were in keeping with the
reputation thus bestowed upon them.
But trust the Paris cocher to kill the
goose that lays golden egg.
He practiced his old game Of taking
the most indirect route to reach his
destination and never had any change
when rendered payment. At night If
no policeman was in sight he always
baked at taking an American uniform
without first extorting promise to
pay fixed price for the course,
which was at least twice his legal fare.
The Americans stood this imposition
for time but finally got tired of being
continually blcd. Now they give no
more than the French as tip and as
they become better acquainted with

he attempts to take them by round

Observation-Disclosures.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-Michigan played
its first game in the western confer
ence in IL years today, and the re-
suit was the biggest surprise of the
season. The light, speedy Northwest
ern team, outweighed nearly 10
pounds to the man, dQwned the VOL
verines, 81 to -, in game that thrill
ed capacity crowd Of 1900 spec
tatOrs.
Northwestern took the field with the
expectation of being buried under a
heavy score, as Michigan had lost only
one game this season, and beaten Me-
braska and other powerful teams of
the west. But after the first five min
utes of play there was no doubt of
'NOrthwestern's superiority. The Evan
ston squad 0utplayed the Wolverines
in every department. Every one of
Northwestern's three touchdowns were
earned, while one of Michigan's was
fluke and the opportunity for the
second was afforded by penalties.
The Michigan eleven, which tri-
umphed over Cornell in one Of the big
intersectional games of the year, was
somewhat weakened through the loss
of Weston, the star quarterback, and

ers developed in the west this season

All in Same Direction

Indeed all the methods of our So
called modern efficiency" tend toward
the cities and larger towns. Even our
school systems are dragging from the
country cityward. Many back country
farms are deserted or are for sale at
low prices because the district school
has been abandoned and children
transferred anywhere from two to four
miles day to the larger district which
is made up of several former smaller
ones for the purpose of increasing the
attendance and of paying for better
teachers.
The evidence Of the tendency is so
voluminous as to be almost limitless.
Our whole modern life is toward rest
and recreation" We are looking for
shorter days and more time to devote
to the movies and the thousand and
one amusements to be found in the
cities and towns The long days on the
farm arc unattractive, even repellant.
The young escape. and the old are dis
contented Modern American life is one
of indulgence and search for amuse-
ment The farms afford neither that
gratifies modernly perverted tastes.
Perhaps the war will make us over
without the necessity of solving our
present problems.

But boards of trade do not join hands
to guarantee q fund that is available

of his product in the great business

by the spectators that canvas the

The Penalty of Human Folly

Each days news seems to pile up the
problems of the nations and the world
as if, in the great scheme Of things,
the very climax In world history were
at hand-thc last chapter and the last
page of the tremendous story of hui
man events. The commission to the
United States. which the government
of France sent to consult with US con-
brings fears of world food famine
which the stupendous folly of Europe
has all but, if not quite, inflicted upon
the world. Perhaps it cannot be head
ed off even by the foresight. and the
devotion Of every energy to the pro-
duction of food outside of the vast ter
ritories now occupied by millions Of
men in the service of Destruction.
With half dozen of the leading pow
ers Of the world bending every effort
toward the accomplishment Of devasta-
ton in the last three years. productive
nations have found themselves stump
ed, in the processes of making up the
deficiency. With the coming of the sea-
son when all nature is springing into
life and promise of everything that
man was expected to desire, forty mill
lions CT men, each supported by the
war labor in some form of at least five
other persons. are devoting themselves
wholly to the prosecution of the bus
mess Of death.
And yet, every morning as we open
our daily papers, and note the reports
of new disasters, new tragedies new
terrors that are just appearing, we
wonder why we have tolerated the
growth Of systems of government, and
greed, and ambitions for power that
have made such conditions possible.
Lloyd George points to the rapidly
growing need Of foodstuffs in England
and prays for the prompt solution of
the submarine problem. In the little
Islands which he represents as premier
are forty-five million people who de-
pend for subsistence upon the main
tenance Of sea traffic. They are not
self-suprorting at home. With the sub
marine problem solved as the most
immediate menace to England, produc-
Ing countries are still confronted with
the increasing needs of at least two
hundred million people in Europe
whose surplus food supply was long
ago exhausted, who are living on
shortened raticns of necessities, and
who have been largely incapacitated
Tor normal production of food this
year. even should the war end TODAY.

ers and business men refuse to take
the chances which I have cheerfully
taken in the past and which I would
take again if it were possible. I can
buy neither seed nor fertilizer. Ny land
will lie idle unless somebody will come
forward with the funds. I am ready to
make any sort of reasonable arrange
ment with any person or organization
that will attempt what I cannot do for
lack of funds. They can have the field
and cultivate it for all it is worth, or,
if any organization or firm will fur
nish the fertilizer and the seed. will
do the work on shares. under any ar
rangement that is equitable and just;
or, if they will furnish the fertilizer
and seed. will do the work at day
wages, and they may take the entire
crop. What more can 1 offer?"
From our mails and from personal
touch with farmers in various parts OF
the State, we have no hesitancy In
saying tndt the Worus VI lAS Aoi iiie'
represent the position Of great num-
Der of farmers in every county of the
State. We believe that prompt and
radical measures must be adopted by
government and by financial and bus
mess interests to deal with a situation
that, at this time, not only imperils
the prosperity of the American people,
but the very safety of this country
and, in great measure, that of other
nations largely depending upon us.
