DARTMOUTH CAN'T FIND
FOOTBALL RIVALS
Colgate and Big Three Decline to
Meet Hsnoverians Next
Season.

Dartmouth is finding considerabls
difficulty in booking suitable orpon-
ents for next season on the gridiron.
So far, Pennsylvsnis. Cornell, and
Brown are the only strong eicsens
meeting the 1920 Dartmouth aegrecs-
ton
Feelers were put out for games
with Harvard, Yale. and Princeton
but all went astrsy. Yale has not
met the Big Green team since the
'9o's, and has no place for IL on its
schedule. Both Harvard and Yale
claim TO have too many strong foes
now. Princeton has lost Colgate, but
instead of resuminS relations with
Dartmouth, booked a game at Prince
ton with the Naval Academy.
Colgate insisted that Dartmouth
play at Hamilton, y. Y. but the New
Hampshire team declined, prcferrins
Boston or New York as a place lar
the game. SO Colgate has completed
its 1920 schedule without giving Dart
mouth place on IL.
Efforts are being made TO have
Syracuse meet Dartmouth, the cap
tsins OF both teams being brothers.
II this move is successful the Han
overisns will have replaced Colgats
with an equally strong foe.

be in the county for two days, April
the 25th, at Cornish, and the Goth at
Oxford. He is coming to tell the
people the advantages of forming egg
circles for cooperative egg and poul-
tr selling. City produce buyers are
already offering a premium for Egg
Circle eggs, and would like to arrange
for handling the consignments on a
definite basis. Guaranteed eggs with
"4H" brand always command higher
price than unsolicited eggs. Be sure
to hear Mr.. Williams while he is in

morning of Saturday, the Goth of
April. He will speak at II o'clock
at the court house. His engagement
for Cornish is for 1870 o'clock in the
afternoon.
Beginning with Monday, April IA,
vigorous campaign in the interest of

MRS. LUELLA B. RAMSEY.

The week ending Saturday, April II,
brought to a close a campaign in the
interest of Child Welfare. Five COM
munity meetings were held. The
Home Demonstration Agent was very
ably assisted by the physicians of Ok
ford, together with a public health
nurse sent out by the state. The in
terest manifested in this phase of the
work was very encouraging. At every
meeting the mothers with their chill
dren were present, all eager to know
the physical condition Of the child.
Several children in the county scored
100. Others were found to be in need
of care by the family physician. The
meetings were in no sense "Baby
Beauty Shows" II. the children were
well, so much the better. If not, we
wanted to find the cause. Lectures
on Hygiene, Sanitation, Child Welfare,
and Practical Demonstrations in First
Aids, including bandaging were given
in all the communities visited. Foods
for children wer ealso very plainly
outlined. The week just concluded
demonstrates the far-reaching and
varied advantages of Home Demon
stration Work.
The incubating season will soon be
over. The first warm weather is
bringing a demand for infertile eggs.
