OLD ADVICE Is STILL con.
The "Flying Wedge Was Peprir

Years Ago.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 12.-"roc1.
ball is fast becoming the national TN
sport of the American YOUTH" wro(e
H. L. Williams and A. A. Stagg IN i +
book on football published BY them i
1893. The volume has been resources.
ed by followers of the sport here vho
point to the timeliness OF many NJ.
sages set down by the two Yale starr
quarter of century ago.
For II years Stage of the Univers-
ity Of Chicago and Williams Of the
University Of Minnesota have ben
training rival teams and have contrib
uted to the work Of revising the who'll
character Of the game.
When, as team mates. they preparea
their book on football, the snyine
wedge" was the favorite weapon Of IL
score makers and it was this style of
play that for years made life on ne
gridirOn unsafe and brought protes{t
which caused sharp changes in the
game.
The book is repletA with euch
phrases as "center-rusher,' "end-rush.
or" and "snap-back." To carry out )
successful flying wedge" the kxni
was instructed to form ''v" on ths
field at the kickoff Then the man
receiving the ball would wait q mo-
ment to permit the other members q
the team to gather about him. Arms
locked, the whole eleven would swoop
down the field with the toughest chan
of the lot holding the point OF III
mass and the oval-bearer buried ii
the center.
Contained Advice.
The following excerpts from the
book include bits of advice that are a.
timely today as when they were writ
ten:
Try to get the opposition off guard
and score before two minutes of the
game have been staged.
IF you're hurt on tackle. don't
show it. Get up briskly or they'll
throw you twice as hard next time. !.
"The time for conversation with OBJ
ponents is after the game.
EAST play is the most effective.
Make one play follow the other as
rapidly as possible.
when getting ready to tackle watch
the runners hips-they move the least.
GO after the runner-donf wait for
| him.
| KNOCK the runner towards his own
goal.
/ "If the opposition seems SO poweFisi
you haven't chance, keep playing
harder. The rivals may lose star BY
injury or ruling at any moment, and
your chance may como.
Keep your eyes on the ball-ar
ways"

GOVERNMENT TO HANDLE WOOL
CLIP OF THE UNITED STATES

Military necessity has caused the
United States Government to assume
control of the entire wool clip of the
country and to have a prior right
to acquire the 1918 wool clip. The
War Industries Board has issued a
pamphlet which explains the regula-
ton under which the farmer may
dispose of his wool. This pamphlet
has been sent to all parts of the Unit
ed States. There are certain further
particulars which Kentucky farmers
would like to know regarding the ex-
act method of procedure in disposing
of their wool. In order to get these
details and fuller knowledge of the
methods to be pursued, the College
of Agriculture has sent a representa-
tive to Washington to confer with
the Wool Committee of the War In
dustries Board and in the course of a
few days a full and concise statement
will be issued through the public
press by the College of Agriculture,
giving further detailed information
and suggestions to farmers and to
dealers regarding prices, methods of
handling, and other matters.
In the meantime the College urges
that nothing is to be gained by un-
due haste on the part of the farmers
in selling their wool. They are
assured that fair and uniform treat
ment will be given to all parties con-
cerned. In the official bulletin re-
Gently issued by the War Industries
Board, the following advice regard
ing the disposal of wool is given:
Growers who desire to do so will
be allowed to pool their clips in guam
titles of not less than minimum car
loads of 5000 pounds and consign
the woods so pooled as one account to
any approved dealer in any approved
distributing center. Growers are
urged to adopt this latter course
through county agents or others, thus
eliminating the profits of one middle
man."
While under the regulations farm
ers are permitted to sell lots of less
than 1 900 pounds of wool to author
| lied dealers, the College of Agricul-
ture advises that wool be assembled
in county pools or pools embracing a
more extensive territory, the object
being to facilitate handling and give
the largest return to the grower.

Eating "War Bread Will Increase
Average Human Life by Ten Years
Hoovezed Flour Contains the Elements Which Made Possible the
Blood and Tissue of the Prehistoric "Iron Man"

WASHINGTON, d. c., June g.
While many people bewail the fact
that they are Obliged to eat what is
commonly known as war bread"
very few realize that the constituents
of this new -four are such as tend to
greatly increase the life, strength
and health of the average Individual
Equally few appreciate the fact that
the ordinary forms of flour, which
had grown in popularity as civiliza-
ton advanced its stages, lacked the
iron and sulphates so essential to the
human system.
Although purely organic, as
similable iron is found in beets, eel
ery. onions, beefsteak, lamb chops
and a few other eatables in minute
quantities, the food of modern civili-
zation so greatly lacked this prime
essential that it failed to properly
nourish the blood, tissue and nerve
cells of the body. Sufficient quanti-
ties of war bread will strengthen
the entire system and will greatly
aid digestion if eaten regularly, as it
contains considerable organic iron
which not only clears and thins the
blood, but also nourishes and invig-
crates it, thus serving as remarka.
BILE spring tonic" as well.
Very few people, however, will
care to eat enough of this bread to
properly revitalize their system and
thus revert to the type of those days
when man, clothed in animal skins,
sucked the marrow from split bones

What Your Country Expects.


Your country is counting on you to
furnish the sinews of war In this, the
mightiest contest that the world has
ever known. 1t Is counting on your
money. your labor, and your spirit OF
self-sacrifice. World wars can not be
won by talk alone, and they can not
be won by resources unless those 70
sources are 80 directed that, they count
in the actual prosecution Of the war.
America, as we all know, Is the rich
est nation in the world. It has the
most money, the most factories and
the most natural resources. But the
money will not do US any good In the
var unless it is mobilized for the use
OF tho Government.
This Is Why the War Savings Stamp
was devised By the Govern
ment, Il gives every man, every WON
an and every child an opportunity to
do something for tho eoantry they
love. You do not have to be million
atFe and buy lot Of bonds. Your
Your twenty-five cents for q Thrift
Stamp or your $41s for q War Savings
Stamp will help your country and help
1t now. And the fact that you did
without something to get the money to
purchase this stamp will help ever
more, for tho country can not get il
war work done Il the factories are bu-
ministering to your pleasure.

REGISTRATION OF FEMALE GER.
MAN ALIEN ENEMIES.

The registration of German alien
females, to begin Monday, June II,
and end Wednesday, June 26, will be
conducted in cities or municipalities
having 5000 population or over by
the police officials. In communities
having a population of less than s.
600 the registration will be handled
by postmasters.
In general the plan of registration
is the same as that followed in the
registration in February of German
alien males. Each person who must
register will be required to register
her finger prints. This method OF
Identification is also used in the mil
itary and naval services Of the Unit
