Many New Banks in Wyoming.

Thirteen banks, with a capitalization
aggregating $225,O00 have been char
tered in Wyoming during the eight
months since January 1, according to a
report compiled by State Bank Exam
liner l. G. Newlin. AT least one bank,
capitalized for 100000, the First
State Bank of Cheyenne, has filed ar
ticles of incorporation and has not vet
concluded its organization, so is not
included in the report. A few banks
have elected to proceed to operate with.
out n state charter.
That the number of banks newly
chartered and the capital represented
is nearly so per cent in excess of the
figures for the same period in 1916, is
the conviction expressed by Examiner
Newlin, who declared that hardly my
better evidence of the states prosper
ity can be asked than that indicated
by the activity in the organization of
new banking concerns.
The number of banks recently char
tered, distributed over the state gen
orally as they are, is considered all he
more remarkable in view of the estab-
lishment of the federal farm loan bank
which holds forth the promise of lower
interest rates.

SEED WHEAT WARNING.
Farmers Warned Against Extrayagant
Claims of Seed PrOmOters-The
Home Grown Seed is Best.

y warming to American farmers not
to be misled, in their zeal for increas-
ed wheat production, into planting alb
normally high-priced seed for which
~extravagant claims are made, has just
been issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Wheat is attracting, at the present
time greater attention than ever be-
fore, owing to its comparative scarcity
and high price, and h necessity of
sowing IA large acreage this fall" says
the department statement. AS might
be expected, therefore, various persons
are offering to the public varieties
that they describe as far superior to
the kinds now being grown. These va
rieties are usually given some catchy
name and ex%travagant claims are made
for them.
An example of this kind is the Al
aska, or seven-headed wheat, that was
exploited u few years ago. The back
ers of this wheat did not get very far
with it, however, as the ~postoffice de-
partment issued a fraud order II
their business came to a %standstill.
This type of wheat, having a large
branched head, has been Offered at high
prices to the people of this country
many times under II name or another.
Records concerning it go back more
than Il hundred years. Just now an
other exploitation is threatened under
the name Titanic This type of wheat
with branched head should be left
strictly alone by the farmers Of the
country.
"A favorite scheme employed by
those having wheat for sale for which
they wish to obtain eXorbitant prices
but a small amount of seed per acre. A
peck of seed, 20 pounds, and a half
bushel per acre, are amounts frequent
ly mentioned. OF course, the claims of
maximum yields from these small
seedlings are not ~substantiated by facts.
Only on dry lands or under very pc
cial conditions is the seeding Of as
little as even 40 pounds per acre of
wheat advisable. On nearly all the
wheat lands of the country it is more
profitable to SOW from a bushel to two
bushels of seed per acre han to SOW
less than u bushel.
Radical claims of high yields are
made for some varieties Of wheat. 1t
is not uncommon in advertising a new
formed promoter to claim yields four
or five times that of the average yield
of the country. Claims as high as Is
or more times the average yield have
been made in special cases. Such
claims are absurd and no one need be
misled by them. A well-bred variety
in the section to which it is adapted
may yield a few bushels more than the
varieties being commonly grown. Very
seldom, indeed, can Il doubling OF the
yield be expected.
buying seed grown at a great dis
lance from home is another thing that
wheat growers should be on their
guard against. No wheat grown and
bred for California conditions, for in
stance, no matter how good for Califor-
mia, has been found adapted to the
country east of the Rockies. Califor-
mia adapted wheats do not succeed
east Of that state.
In short, homegrown seed should be
used unless the State Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station OF the United States
Department Of Agriculture advise 9TH
erwise.'

Hourless to Race
At Pinlico Track

BALTIMORE, Oct. 27.-Samuel c.
Hildreth, trainer Of the stable of Au-
gust Belmont, is authority for the an
nouncement that reports to the effect
that Mr.. Belmont's great three-year-old
Hourless is retired for the season are
without foundation. Mr.. Hildreth said
to representative of the Maryland
Jockey Club to-day:
"Hourless came to Maryland to start
in the Pimlico Autumn Handicap and
the Bowie Cup at Pimlico, and he will
fill the engagements made for him,
weather and track conditions being
favorable, provided the Handicapped at
Pimlico does not ask him to perform
the impossible.
"Hourless came nicely out of the race
at Laurel Park for the John +. Mclean
Cup, in which he defeated Omar Khay-
yam in the fastest time ever made by a
three-year-o under full scale weight
on mile track in this country, and he
has not missed meal since"

Soldiers Hold
Harvard to Tie
CAMP DEvENs. Aver, Mass, Oct. 81.

CAMP DEvENS. Aver, Mass, Oct q.
The depot brigade football team Of
the 10Th Division played Harvard's
eleven to standstill to-day, the teams
leaving the field without either getting
score after forty minutes Of hard
play.
Both teams were rugged enough, but
their rush lines were so evenly matched
that first downs were infrequent, and
neither came anywhere near scoring by
means of its running attack.
Both sets of forwards were keener to
break through on the other fellows
plays than they were to open holes for
their own, and while Harvard had q
trifie the better of the ground gaining.
this advantage counted for little. The
only chances that either side had TO
score was by the drop-kick route.
Late IN the game Harvard got its at
tack going for gain Of forty consecu-
tive yards, but on the 30-yard line the
soldiers held, and when Grosscup tried
for field goal his kick went over the
line of scrimmage, only few yards.
Harvard twice lost the ball on FUN.

Navy Smothers
Haverford Under
Score of SO to 0

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 27.-Runnins afoul
Of Nays victorious streak OF high
scoring, Haverford went down under
the Blue and Gold steam roller here
this afternoon. The final score was:
Navy, SO; Haverford, o. The compile
tion Of this game, with its big score,
gives the Middies a total of 212 points
to over her last three opponents.
The two other victims were the Indians
and Maryland State.
Although they continued their win
nlngs, the Midd.es did not play so good
a game to-day SIS against the Redskins
last week. Had this been so their
tally would have gone over the century
mark. There was neither 50 much team
work nor machine-like precision in
getting interference together or in
following the formations through.
Coach Dobie, after his varsity had in
the three first periods totalled seventy
five. sent the first stringers to the gym
and made many substitutions from his
scrubs. 1t was not until this had oc-
Cured that the visitors were able to
make first down. Their first and only
covering Of the required ten yards in
four downs followed the iaterception
Of a forward pass.
Only five tines did the Middies try
the forward pass method Of gaining.
Two Of these were good; one Of them
from Combs to Ingram Melted twenty
five yards. Two were muffed and one
was intercepted. All three Of the lat
ter occurred after the wholesale sub
stitutions had taken place. The regu-
lars, after trying out their opponents
for the first few minutes Of play, were
content to resort to line plunging and
end plays, helped out by Perry's punt
ing.
In the latter department they had
great advantage, as all of Perry's four
punts were fumbed. This was to a
degree due to the fact that Leonard
was so hurried by the dash upon him
of the Navy forward, who broke
through at will.

N.Y.U.Union
Play Scoreless
Tie on Cridiron

The New York University and Union
College football teams played to a
scoreless tie on Ohio Field yesterday
afternoon. The visitors were outplayed
by the local collegians in every de-
partment of the game except end
running.
Unions goal was in danger three
times, but in each instance a tumble
or a penalty lost n. Y. US oppor-
tunity. On one occasion the ball was
actsally carried over the goal line,
only to be lost in a tumble.
On the defence the University
Heights line was practically impreg-
nable and allowed few gains of any
account. The ends, however. proved
weak until the last part Of the game,
when they smeared several attempted
end runs.
The light backfeld of the Violet
team demonstrated its ability in plung-
ing through the big Union line for
long and consistent gains, but their
interference in end running was poor.
Union was strong where the Violet was
weak. All the first downs gained by
the visitors were due to end runs.
Egan was the star Of the contest. AT
the beginning of the second half he
caught the kickoff and, after turning
off three prospective tacklers and
running around three more, he was
downed by Whittner on the visitors
40-yard line. In the third quarter
Egan broke loose with thirty-five-
ward gain around end. He also made
his presence felt by his kicking, which
far outdistanced the Union punts.
In the third quarter n. Y. U. lost
fine chance to score. The Violet backs
took turns in rushing the ball and
marched steadily down the field. New,
York was set back by penalty and
was forced TO kick on the last down.
The ball was fumbled by the Union
quarterback and Archie Brinn, the n. e.
i. centre, fell on the ball on Union 8
7-yard line. In three downs the
ball was advanced to the 'one-foot line;
Just then the advance was interrupted
by the whistle announcing the end OF
the quarter.
In the next play Egan dived over the
line. What happened beneath the PIE
of players no one knows, but the pau
was found in the possession OF one OF
the Union men. Referee Thorpe ruled
it was a touchback.
Magnihan and Hochule did the best
playing for Union. Archie Brlnn,
centre on the Violet eleven, showed ms
usual skill in breaking through ana
smearing plays. Gardener. end, had
an off day, for he only succeeded IN
catching two out Of seven forwaro
passes thrown to him.

Army Has Scare
Before Oliphant
Saves the Day

WEST POINT, N. Y, Oct 27.-The
Army won from Villanova. to-day, p
to 7, in a game which, while interest
ing, gave the cadets supporters much
food for thought. Villanova has
habit of causing trouble at the Point,
and to-day was no exception to the
rule. The Pennsylvania collegians
usually score, and a few years ago
they beat the cadets.
1t looked for time to-day as II the
cadets were to be beaten again, espe-
cially at the close of the initial pc
riod, which ended z to in villa
nova's favor. But mighty work by
battle, and the soldiers closed the hrst
half on even terms, at to z.
McGuickin and Ewing starred In
series of we'll executed airline plays,
this combination ringing the score
gong within three minutes after the
opening of the initial period, when
Ewing took one of McGuickin's long
passes over for a score. McGuickin
kicked the goal. Oliphant and Wicks
carried the ball from midield to a
touchdown in the second period, Wicks
going over on a play through the line
from the 10-yard line. Oliphant kicked
the goal. -.
In the opening of the second half
the soldiers displayed their best form;
Here the West Point line played real
football and laid out Villanova's
lighter forwards, the shifty Oliphant
going through for long gains, one of
them a dash of thirty yards. which
Melted him q touchdown. He also
kicked this goal.
Watkins carried McGuickin's poor
boot at the kickoff back to midfeld
and from there Oliphant and Horr
worked overhead plays, three in row,
two of them successfully, until Horr
dashed over the line for a score.
Again Oliphant kicked goals making
the total 81 points. The final period
was q stand-off until Mcclellan inter
cepted an Army pass at midfield. From
this point McGuickin, first to Ewing
then to McGrady, worked passes until
the ball rested on the Army's 20-yafd
line. A penalty for roughing the
catcher took the ball to the Army's
lo-yard line, where the whistle saved
the cadets.

II Howard Miller had been working
with the Columbia boys Boynton might
have found an opponent worthy OF him,
but yesterdays playing revealed no
one of the Blue and White team who
could counterbalance the energetic
little. Williams quarter.
Columbia scored all her points in
the first quarter, when Williams, as the
older fans observed, was futilely try
ing some of Carlisle's old shift plays.
The second quarter gave Williams her
turn at the scoring, and she, too, made
in this single period all the points she
carried away.
Columbia made its score through
Cochran, who booted in a neat place
ment kick after only few minutes Of
play, and directly afterward put across
a drop kick fro mthe 15-yard line.
Safety for Williams
Williams scored first safety, when
Houlihan, one of Columbia's backs, was
tumbled backward over the Coalumbia
goal line by Boynton's tackling. Then,
lust before the end fthe second Pc
Rod, Boynton intercepted Columbia
pass, and then hurled successful one
of his own to Brown, left end Of the
Williams eleven. who made a spectacu-
lar run Of fifty yards for touchdown.
Canapery, who at all other moments
played a frst-rate game for Columbia,
fell and missed the tackle that might
have stopped the runner. Boynton fol-
lowed up with another Of his little
favors to the Purple by kicking the
goal.
Scoring was over when the halfway
mark had been passed, but the play
shifted rapidly from end to end OF the
field all through the last half with a
speed that kept the spectators entirely
awake. A drop kick effort of Boynton's
late in the third period went wide OF
the posts. In the same quarter, after
the appearance Of Coach Walker on the
field had inflicted l0-yard penalty on
the Williams eleven, Cochran likewise
missed a shot at the Columbia goal.
Memmott, substituted in the fourth
quarter for the WORKOUT Canapery,
seemed too dazed TO make the most of a
couple of chances at big gains when he
blocked Williams kicks. Some fine
tackling by Weinstein, Columbia's sub
stitute right end, stopped the gains that
Williams might have made during this
last period.
The kickoff was won by Williams,
which held Columbia TO the 5-yard line.
Shaw, the nimble-footed track man at
Columbia's fullback position, carried
the ball fifteen yards, and series OF
other advances swelled the gain TO
forty.
One of the few successful Columbia
forward passes, from Houlihan to Can
apery, put the ball single yard from
the goal, where il was fumbled and
kicked out by Williams. Cochran re-
ceived the ball, signalled for place
ment kick and landed the first three
points.
Another Forward
Another forward, from Houlihan TO
Rosen, put Columbia on the l5-yard
line only a couple OF plays later. and
here Cochran topped of Columbia's
score with a drop kick.

Syracuse Piles Up Big
Score Against Tufts

SYRACUSE. Oct. 27.-The Syracuse
University football team found little
opposition in the Tufts eleven here
this afternoon and overwhelmed them
by score Of SO to O. After securing
a big lead in the early part Of the
game Syracuse put in second and third
string men in the second half.
Syracuse used only simple forma-
tions, Tufts being able TO check slightly
the continuous onslaught of ofY-tackle
charges and end runs. Forward passes
were frequent. ..0..
The playing of Meehan at quarter for
Syracuse, who booted two pretty drop
kicks for field goals, and Robertson, the
speedy local centre, featured the one
sided engagement.

The Williams line was far from i'm
pregnable, but held together at criti-
cal moments. especially at one time in
the second half, when the Columb ia
quarter tried to push through when
almost on the goal line.
Rosen showed himself a hard-work-
ing, conscientious player, but many
complaints have been urged against his
use of his forces. 1t was especially
noticeable that little opportunity for
open work was given Shaw, whose long
running featured last weeks game.
In addition to Boynton, Brown and
Strong, the two ends, played first
class game for Williams. The Purple
team at all times, however. showed its
dependence upon its clever quarter
back, whose tackling was on par with
all his offensive moves.
