Don't Hamper the Farmer.

Before a year has passed near
ly a million men now engaged in
productive occupations will be
called to the colors in the war for
humanity and decency. About a
fourth of this number will prob
ably be drawn from agricultural
pursuits, cattle raising and the
like. This will put a strain on
our farmers, who have been urg-
ed to do every thing in their
power to make their lands yield
their maximum possible return.
Our farmers have responded mob
ly to the nations call for all the
food they can produce, but of
what use is it to produce food
supplies if they can not be deliv-
cred to market? Corn that stays
in the farmers cribs, as it was
held for months during last win
ter in many parts of the corn
belt, does nobody any good.
Wheat that stays on the farms of
Kansas as it stayed last winter
helps only the rats. What is the
use of the railroads cutting didos
with the transportation system
OF the country, if the feeders of
the railroads, our public roads to
shipping points. are to be so neg
lected that the good work of the
farmers is rendered of little avail
by inability to get the stuff from
the land into the cars? There
are a few hysterical persons in
office who seem to think that
good roads are a luxury because
our grandfather did not have
them. They forget that their
grandfathers did not have to feed
100, 100000 American mouths,
net to mention a lot of hungry
ones among the $4,000, 900 peo-
pie of Great Britain and Ireland
and the 4O,000,000 of France.
All grandfather had to do was to
supply food for 23,000.0O0 per-
sons. HissNays are edifying to
Tread about but worthless to copy
4now Why hamper the farmer
who is working from dawn to
dusk to help win' the war by
making him haul our food sup
plies over roads that grandfather
knew very we'll were wretched?

RATES OF HAMLETS
ORDERED CHANGED
INSURANCE RATING BOARD OF
STATE CALLS HIATT ON
EXPERIMENT.
PROVED TO Be AN INJUSTICE
Upon investigation Twas Discovered
That Rates Were increased To
Greater Extent Than Act Of 1916
Had Anticipated.

rrdnhlorI'
The State Insurance Rating Board
has called halt on the experiment Of
doing away with specific rating of
small towns with less than 200 popula-
tion, or five miles from railroad. 1t
was found that the plan by which local
agents applied the rate from schedule
furnished them in these owns was in.
creasing the cost of in4 n4urance more
than the act OF 1916 contemplated.
These hamlets are money losers for
fire insurance companiesI which make
large returns in the big cities and a
relatively good remuneration in all
towns having fire PROTECTION. They
have no fire protection ahd their mer-
camille establishments, d course, are
Subject to greater risks Than isolated
farm property. TheE ratio of losses
increase the cost of insur hnce in cities.
In addition to this the dcst Of inspec.
tions and rating every time there is a
change of any kind in the risk adds to
the burden.
The act OF 1916 contemplated the
adoption of schedules, which would in.
crease the cost of insurance in such
places about 10 per cent and the board
consented when the insurance com
panies desired to cease tie specific rat
ing Of Ill hamlets and adopt for them
a schedule, which the local agents
could apply without additional expense
to the companies. The latter now de
sireto extend this systep to number
of other small towns. tuI Chairman
Gray, Of the Rating BoasA said inyes
tigation has shown that rates in these
III hamlets have been Decreased b,

FREAK PLAYS RECORDED
In SCHOLASTIC BATTLES

There were several star plays and
one or two OF the freak variety in
the recent scholastic football series
OF more than passing interest. Long
runs. kicks, and passes were Iew
and far between.
The longest run OF the year was
made by Fleming, OF the Georgetown
Props. who dashed from two yards
behind his goal line around Westerns
left end for a touchdown. ]. Long
of Central, romped through the Busi-
ness eleven for a ninety-yard run. as
did Belknap.
A freak play-that is, unusual in
! footbaII-was pulled in the second
game OF the high school series.
Charlie Fenwick. of Western, an I'M
usually long kicker on the kiekof.
booted one across the Business goal
line.
Fell In Field Of Play.
The ball fell in the field of play and
bounced across the line while Raedy
and schatsr, OF Business, watched
Referee GGss. Fenwiek hot-footsd
across the chalk marks after kicking
of and fell On the ball. which lay
neglected by the Business lads. Fen
wick claimed q touchdown, which
was riEhtfully allowed, the Western
players having all been on side when
the ball was kicked.
The longest forward pass OF the
scholastic season was made by New
man, who heaved q twenty-nve-yard
spiral to Thomas. who galloped
twenty for a touchdown on Western.
Adams got away with a twenty
yard pass to Clarke against western.
who went through the team for .
hfteen-yArd dash and touchdown
Only One Place Kick.
Mike Raedy, OF Business. got away
with the only place kick OF the sea
son, a thirty-nve-yard AFFAIR which
counted three points for his team
against Technical.
Another long run was that made
by Dreyfuss, OF Briarly Hail. who
went eighty yards against the st.
Adams team, but was hauled down
on the lO-yard line.

credited with runs OF from thirty to
nifty yards during the games this
season.
For scoring, the season was the
freakiesL ever recorded. Central
champion Of the high schools, re-
corded no less than 35i points dur
ing the year and 221 in the high
school series. 1t was a great year
for scoring. As a matter OF record,
both Eastern and Western. usually
the weakest teams in the series.
totaled more in two games this sea
son than they did during the whole
OF the campaign a year ago.
Was Real Freak Score.
Centrars lead in scoring was III
TO for opponents in the title series.
q real freak record when it is con-
adhered that in one game Central
scored 100 points. Defeats OF 30 or
40 to o are common. but when
team jumps up over a hundred points
the mark is placed in the freak
class.
The Central lads succeeded in
breaking q mark of lis to o set BY
St. Adams against the Brisrly Hall
team three years ago. when ''Cntz-
Brewer. 'aCrawf' Carter. Day wall
lace, and Eric Hauser were among
the stars OF the scholastic world. IN
that game Brewer dashed 107 yards
for a touchdown. the ball being on
the 1-yard line when Brewer went
back ostensibIy to kick the ball. He
ran II, however, and eluded all
tacklers for the record run
A scholastic football record which
has stood for some time is a drop
kick made by fluffy Crane. former
ST. Adams star. in a game with East
ern at American League Park Ia
1910. Crane booted drop<ick
across which won the game from the
46-yard line.
