Larger Schedule the Rule.

One feature of the season that might
be mentioned was the. departure by
the colleges from the usual routine of
their schedules. Prior to 1917 few COL
]eges have cared to list games with
independent organizations or with
military teams, but during the past
season all institutions that could pos-
sibly make room for one or more
games with service elevens have done
so. And something else. while many of
the great college players departed
continued in the game as members of
service teams. In fact, some of the
best gridironers of the year have been
members of teams representing military
organizations.
1t must not be thought. though. that

FOOT BALL GROWS
IN PUBuC'S ESTEEM
Recognition by Army Authori-
ties of Value of Sport Shows
Worth to Nation.
NO DEARTH OF GOOD MEN
BY n. c. BYRD.

In many respects the loot Dali
season just closed has been one
of the most remarkable since the
game first was played. Generally
speaking, college teams, the
splendid organizations which al
ways have been the solid base on
which the great gridiron sport
has attaind its wonderful growth,
have been somewhat below their
usual standard; also something
of the usual interest has been
drawn from the season by three
prominent eastern institutions
putting a ban on formal sports
during the period of the war; but
never before have so many con-
tests been played, never have so
many teams taken part in gridiron
struggles and never in previous
wears has the real value of the
game as developer of men been
so we'll recognized.
War Benefits Game.
Undoubtedly foot ball owes much to
the war. After the greatest of strug-
giles between nations is finished foot
ball still will be indebted to the stern
er game Many of the great leaders
of the-nation have expressed the
opinion that foot ball offers splendld
methods for the development OF men
and for the building up of the quail
ties that represent true manhood IN
short, the war has forced home to eV,
erybody what only the few recognized
before-that the American boy can mo
on the grfdiron. under the right type
of coach, the greatest known medium
for the bringing out of his latent pos
sibilities and potential powers and for
instilling into him the lessons OF re-
fortitude moral courage and strength
of character. besides building uo MS
physical and mental being. These
things the public now realize, ana oe-
fore this fall the public knew little OF
the real benefits or value OF the game
as a builder of men,
Failure on the part of Princeton,
Yale and Harvard to put out eleVens
last fall undoubtedly detracted from
general interest in foot ball. By the
absence of Yale and Harvard from the
gridiron the backbone of the sport
was almost broken in the New Eng
land states. 1t was the poorest season
known in that section as far as the
collegiate end of the sport was con-
cerned With the exception of Yale,
Harvard and Princeton. though. the
absence of other teams was scarcely
noted. their actions having had moth
ing but a local effect for their sec
tions. Virginia and Georgia were the
two main teams. besides Yale, Harvard
and Princeton, to call of foot ball. and
their absence from the field was not
especially noticeable

Durango, Colo-A five-acre tract OF

dreds of stockmen in southern Colo
RADIO as THE Death Patch" claimed
another heavy toll OF livestock. H..
+. Walker was moving band OF 925
Ramboulliet ewes from their winter
range and inadvertently drove the
sheep across the tract The animals
fed all the way across the tract on
whorl milkweed, a deadly poison plant
ewes were dead. The ewes were
worth s22.50 per head.
A year ago James Gawith drove
band of 625 sheep across this same
patch, being ignorant of the danger
1t contained. A few hours later his
flock had been reduced to little more
than 100 animals, the rest dying from
eating whorl milkweed.
The authorities at the Fort Lewis
branch of the State Agricultural Col
lege, made thorough examination of
the five acres of ground Immediately
after Gawith lost his sheep and issued
warnings to all farmers and stockmen
in the Dolores section to give the
tract a wide berth.
Farmers and stockmen are demand
ing that the state authorities take
some action to place large warning
signs around the tract so that stock
growers may know when they reach
the danger zone. A demand will also
be made that the state take steps to
clear the tract of the deadly plant
for fear 1t will spread to all sections
of the state through the carrying OF
seeds by one agency or another.

Taps Sounded for First
Pine County Soldier.

Henry Olson, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Olson of Friesland,
was laid to rest in the Swedish
cemetery Tuesday afternoon
with military honors.
Henry Olson is the first of the
boys from around Hinckley in
the army to succumb, and altho
he died of a disease in the camp
and not on the battle front, he
did die on the field of honor and
died for his country just as if he
had ended his days in some
glorious charge.
The pathos of this first real
Hinckley sacrifice in the war for
human liberty is that death
came before this willing lad had
a chance to strike a blow for his
home and country. That he
went willingly when his country
called, is proof enough that if
fate had been kind he would
have given a good account of
himself on the field of glory.
The deepest sympathy of the
community goes out to the
stricken family.
The body was brought to
Hinckley and the funeral was
held in the Presbyterian church
Tuesday. Rev. Voris preaching
the funeral and music being
given by the home guard quartet
consisting of Messrs. Stenmark,

and full military honors accorded
the faithful man. --Hinckley

EXPLOSIVES TO BE LICENSED
Dealers and Owners Must all Sc
cure Licenses From County
Auditor at Once.

County Auditor Hamlin has
been supplied with blanks and
appointed by the federal govern
ment to issue licenses in connec-
tion with explosives of all kinds.
Persons selling explosives or
those having them in their pos
session for their own use are
required to have licenses, with a
severe penalty for failure to do
SO. The purpose is to go as far
as possible toward preventing
the possession of explosives by
persons who would use them to
destroy property and to put this
class under the ban of the law if
they should have explosives in
their possession without the
knowledge of the authorities.
No enemy aliens can secure
licenses. They must be taken
out at once. Licenses cost 25
cents and applicants must ap-
pear at the court house in per-
son to get them. Anyone having
any explosives, either in bulk,
cartridges or otherwise, must
have a license. Pine Poker

"A letter was received by the

general interest to our readers
we publish it herewith.
The letter reads as follows:
Camp Funstun, Dec 10, 1917.
Askov American
Gentlemen: | receive your
paper every week, for which
am very thankful. | have been
here in Camp Funston about ten
weeks. We are quite busy Drill
ling, but also have time for
recreation.
The Y. M. C.. A. are doing a
great thing here in our camp;
we are having church services
every Sunday at 10 a. m. and 7
p. M, and they teach us French
three times a week, free of
charge. Besides that we are
having moving picture show
three evenings every week, and
there is also a pool hall where
there are chances to have fun.
We are about 200 men in our
battery, of which quite a few are
Danish-American. Trench mortar
battery is something new in U.
IS. Army, and is an independent
organization. We have infantry
and artillery drills and we will
soon have horses and cavalry
drilling. We have a store which
is doing big business selling all
kinds of cookies, fruit and
candies.
We had a fine dinner Thanks
giving. The last few days has
been rather cold,we have had to
drill with our overcoats on.
Would like to hear from some
of the boys, you ought to see the
pleasant faces when the mail
comes in, and the sad looks on
those who get nothing.
