HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
IS SHAPING UP WELL
Coaches Are About Ready
to Pick the Line
Up.

After ten days of strenuous prac.
tice, Coaches Moore and Carpenter Of
the Fairmont High eleven have begun
to see their team as it will be. seen
on the field when the whistle is
sounded for the first kickoff. Both
coaches have begun to select their
men and keep their eyes on certain
individuals that are showing class.
Clark Brown, youngster Tho Is
this year sophomore and who has
been doing the bulk of the work at
the quarterback position. is probably
showing up the best of the new men.
NJ. "Turkovitch, who last year played
in few games and this year attended
the w. v. U. training camp is show
ing up as real backfield man. The
work OF Sarsfield at end is also stand
ing out conspicuously He is fast and
although beginner at the game is
handling the forward passes like an
old timer.
In the backfeld. which IS to he the
strongest feature OF the team. are six
candidates: Paul Hess. Paul Binns.
n. Turkovitch. Carl Andre. Thomas
Cain, and Clay Mills. They are given
turn about in the scrlmmages and
are all bucking the line in fine fash.
ion.
Probably the only two positions on
the team that are sure are Captain
Arch Meredith and Pete Hamilton
the two tackles. Both are among the
best OF last years eleven and are
even showing more class this year.
Kenneth Hess, Charles Loar and
Joe Thomas are the most favorable
candidates for the two guard posi-
tons. With Sarsfield, Vignoul. Ross
and Aumiller. the conspicuous con
tenders for the end Jobs the team
should be exceptionally strong at this
point. Vigenol. another youngster
with little experience is attracting the
attention OF both coaches.
Because OF wet grounds the team
did, not practice yesterday. II the
weather permits the squad will re-
port for practice at South Side again
this afternoon.

SHEEPSKlN COAT MAY

type of coat failed when put to the
test by the British army in France.
The shecpskin coat is II jacket like
garment, lined inside with warm
fleece and covered outside with wa

larger and more conveniently placed
than an ovcrcOat'>. and are as warm
for the hands ~ mutfs. Ii has no

the back and sides of the head, l. not
the least of iis advantages over the
regulation coat.
The present army oyercoai was
adapted from the Russian by the
British army tailor, who AT President
Roosevelts bidding designed the uni

HESTAMD AND LONG MAKE
GOOD FOR COM. NORDnAUS

Two highly successful farmers last
year were ]. Z. Hestand and Sam
Long, who farmed 40 acres each for
Commissioner F. L. Nordhaus, giving
the owner quarter interest in all
crops except five acres of sugar cane
raised by Hestand.
Hestand raised 80 acres of maize.
five acres of beans and five acres of
sugar cane, and Long had 20 acres
OF maize and 20 acres of beans. both
farms being watered by 10OO-gal-
Ion puInp.
The total value of the crops was
better than $4,000. which brought the
owner over 10 per cent interest ON
800 land, and the renters s34 per
acre on ordinary crops on new land.
How does this compare with north
ern farms!
Mr.. Hestand and his brother will
work 100 acres ON the same terms
this coming year.

BUY LAND
On LAKE SHORE

The Martin property at the north
end of Devils Lake has been pur-
chased by the conservation commits
sion and IS now a part of the state
park. There are Is acres in the tract
and the price paid was $500. The
owners were offered a larger sum
some time ago but by the state grant
ing a concession the land was obtain
ed at what is considered a reasona
Bile price About one half is south
of the railroad track and the other
half to the north. In order to place
station there it was necessary to
have the Martin land This will give
free access to the proposed station
site and adds to the needed acreage
of the state land. For number OF
years a "blind pig" was permitted to
remain there, which was anything
but pleasant to those on the adjOin-
ing property. The purchase forever
removes the nuisance Assemblymar
George Carpenter, who did much to-
ward securing the promise of a rail
road station at the north end of the
lake, has been working for the pur-
chase of the Martin land. Much cred
it is due him for his services In this
respect.
