Camp Funston. Kan, Feb. az
With favorable weather it was ex-
pected that $4,000 men would wit
ness today's athletic-milftary meet

day anniversary. Practice an elm
nation contests have been held thru
take part in the big outdoor meet
today are the pick of the camp.
In selecting events for today's pro-
gram, Captain Wilmington chose
those games in which a large num-
Der of men could compete in order
| to interest as large a number as pos
| sible. AT least a hundred companies
are expected to take part in the
| 100 yard dash. \ The men will run
| in squads of 90 to rs each, wearing
| regulation uniforms with the excep-
| ton of leggings and blouse, which
will be removed. The average time
| of all competitors of each organiza-
ton will decide the score
The 3-rnile- cross-country run was
billed os one of the big attractions
on the days program. The race was
| to be scored as follows: First 70
men of each company to score in or
| der of finishing; each man finishing
within one minute of winner to cause
one point to be deducted from his
company's score; each man finishing
more than three minutes behind win
| ner will add two points to his conn
1 pany's score while men not finish
| ing will add five<points to their COM
pany's scores. The lowest score will
| win the event
| Fifty teams of rs men each are
expected to, compete in the inter
| company tug4of-war. "Bulls-in-the-
ring" an old time game, will be re-
| vived. Fifteen men of company
will form the ring, three men of each
| to act as the bulls. Three bulls of
one company will be placed in the
ring of the opposing company. At
the word go" the bulls will at
not be permitted to attack in mass
formation but must act individually.
Bulls that break out in the shortest
| time win for their company.
A company group soccer game is
another event on the days program
There will be fifty men on each side
with five balls in play on the field
hop step-and jump also will have a
place. One hundred men from each
i company will compete in the obsta-
Gle race, which, officers declare, is
good practice for going over the
top" Wrestlers of the various or
CARNATIONS will grapple for the
division championships in the various
classes, 135, 145, $50 and IT'S pound
The military events will consist of q
machine gun contest, a bayonet con
test, rescue race, grenade contest
and a Stretcher race.

Sheep md Farm Labor Problems.

The extra labor required to keep
weeds under control Is probably the
greatest economic loss which they
cause. Labor is too much needed for
other lines OF farm work, and should
not be used in lighting weeds If they
can be eradicated in any other way.
Yet weeds must be controlled II maxi
mum crop yields are to be secured. In
this respect sheep can aid in the farm
labor problem. They will eat most
weeds. and on any farm Will greatly
reduce the amount OF hand labor
needed to hole weeds in check in pas
lures and grain fields. Keep sheep and
arrange your farm so they can help in
the fight with weeds
