strength of the wind, for both of
these affect the plays. The wind
should be tremendous factor in
strategy when in possession of the
ball, both in the matter of punting
and dlOp or place kicking as well
as in forward passing.
1t is very important that the gen.
eral realize at all times the position
of his team on the field and know
what plays to make. He should not
work his team into the side line un-
necessarily and thereby limit his
strategy. 1t is needless to say that
he should make every effort to keep
the opponents away from his goal;
therefore he should avoid plays
which might produce an accident
whereby the opponent would get the
ball within striking distance of the
goal. No attempts at forward
passes near your own goal are justi-
fable unless the opposing team is
way ahead and it seems worth while
to take every chance in order to
hold on to the ball to get a score
or to prevent further scores.
In general it is good defensive
strategy to punt the ball whenever
you are within IS yards Of your own
goal, for by so doing you will avoid
all chances of tumble which might
give the ball to the opponent within
striking distance of your goal.
Whenever team is within strik-
ing distance Of the opponents goal
it is advisable to use the strongest
and surest gaining plays by the
surest gaining men.

Outs" who is Guardian of the
Treasure.
If the Guardian returns to the den
without being caught, her side wins
and goes out again for the next
game. But if the Guardian is caught
before she gets to the den, the Ems"
win the game and go out next time.
Whenever an "In" catches an
Out" she is a prisoner. The pur-
suer puts her hand on the prisoners
head and says deliver it." Every
body shouts deliver it," and all
players return to the den. If the
prisoner has the Treasure, she must
give it up. If not, she is released,
and the game goes on.
Slipper Slap.
Girls form in circle. Odd girl
stands in center and an old slipper
or folded newspaper, tied firmly
with a string, is passed around the
circle. The Player, whenever posi-
Bile, advances to Center Girl with
slipper in hand and slaps her with
it on the shoulder or arm. The
Player must not get caught but
must return to the ring and quickly
pass slipper behind her back to
other players. Another player runs
to center and slaps Center Player
who tries to catch the offender. If
she succeeds, she may take place
in the circle and the girl who IS
caught becomes Center Player. Girls
can pass the slipper back and forth
around the rirg very fast to make
the game exciting.

ON A SQUIRREL.

Now that in gorgeous polychromes
The trees hobnob.
A workman In gray Jumper roams
About his job.
From sunrise he maintains top speed
Till darkness lowers,
Nor ever thinks II he exceed
Eight working hours.
So eager he to spot his spoils
And promptly fob them,
He fails to ponder as he tolls
The labor problem.
His sense Of honor's somewhat blunt;
He goes and dimes,
Nor ever bothers much to hunt
'No trespass" signs.
IT'S true a chestnut to his 10
Naught but nut;
That all abstruse philosophers
He'd greet with "Chut."
But though he might not recognize
His Latin name,
He gets---a quality to prize
There just the same.

''Somebody is q Good Liar. Y


Omaha. Oct. 21.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: Somebody is q good
liar! The Omaha Preachers as
ISOLATION pass resolutions commend
ing Dean Ringer .'for his vigorous
and fearless attempt for the en-
forcement Of law and order" on the
night of the riot. The rest of us
would like the preachers to inform
us from what source they draw their
deduction. Certainly not from eye
witnesses, for most, il not all Of
them, were busy pounding their BIZ
bles during the time the riot was in
full swing-the biggest part of
which happened Sunday night be-
tween the hours Of Z and o'clock.
/ will lay down big bet that not
single preacher was within a mile
Of the crowd as a spectator. Exit,
therefore, the preachers opinions.
Dean Ringer may make q fine
Methodist Sunday school teacher,
but he's a mighty poor policeman.
It's time to get man who knows
the police game from the inside and
give him full authority to play 1t to
the limit-the preachers associa-
ton notwithstanding. The public
owes great debt of gratitude to The
Bee for its fearless presentation Of
facts, and here's hoping The Bee
stands right by its guns until the
fight is fought to finish.

A BRAND NEW
PROFESSION
OPENING Up

WASHINGTON Feb. LIN other
days a farm mechanic" was usu.
ally a chap who could solder up the
hole in a milk bucket, repair the
pump or paint the wagon, or tinker
with the clock. Today . the term
means that he is highly skilled
artisan, employed as such by larger
farms. In the plowing season he is
tractor operator, engineer of the mo-
tive machinery which pulls the gang
plows, harrows and seeders, doing
the work at one cut of half dozen
plow teams and men.
He is engineer and superintendent
of the reaping and threshing in
their season. He supervises and
operates the cutting of silage and
filling of soils. He takes care Of the
dairy machinery or the electric light
plant of the farm He looks after
the upkeep of the automobiles and
trucks of the establishment. Such
are in general the duties of the
farm mechanic" for which disabled
soldiers are being re-educated by the
United States government through
the federal board for vocational ed
ucation. Disabled men are given a
support fund of $65 per month,
while studying, and adequate support
for dependents. All expenses of the
course are paid by the government.
War disabled farm boys are pre-
ferred for education along these
lines. Their practical knowledge OF
agriculture being a valuable and al
most essential basis upon which to
build. Large farm and plantation
owners forced by labor conditions
to turn more to mechanical labor
saving devices are eager bidders for
competent men and offer attractive
salaries.
The federal board for vocational
education at Washington is desirous
of getting in communication with
war disabled farm young men who
would be interested in taking train
ing for the farm mechanics and sim.
liar courses.

Schools for war brides and soldiers
fiances are being planned by the
rehabilitation department.
Domestic science, food chemistry
marketing, and care of children will
be taught.
The government will pay all ex
penses Of the pupils.
The schools will be open only to
wives Of soldiers and women en-
gagged to marry soldiers. More thar
100000 young women are eligible
it is estimated.
Department officials explain the
schools are expected to pay fol
themselves as social experiments by
training women to be helpful wives
The schools are needed, it is be
lieved, because thousands Of young
girls left their homes to work in
munition factories at a time when
they ordinarily would have begun tc
learn household duties.
OF 100000 women who entered
industry during the war, thousands
now are jobless through the closing
Of munition factories Hundreds are
unable to find other employment be

got into full swing. The schools are
expected to give occupation to hun

might be said that some of the neg
atives on the pictures aren't alto

presidents first opportunity to see
what some of the embassy and con-
sular officials actually amount to in
active service-and if the expe-

as any criterion, there will be shake
ups on this side TO the water.
1t is no secret that to have some
thing done promptly in the way Of
having passports arranged and so
forth, the British have it all over
the American officials in Europe.
The British have a way of slashing
red tape which, up to the present
at least, seems lost art so far as
the American officials here are con-
cerned.

The poet, w. Lewis, has made
the event the subject of poem

was as a result of his admiration
for the poem and the design so ar
tistically suggestive that Caproni de.

for his new and gigantic plane.
1t is asserted that aviators who
will make the trip intend to follow

sea. They will fly from Italy to
Cadiz, thence to the Azores and
from Azores to the American coast,

to a strange prophecy published here
in 1916, which is attributed to an
English monk of the seventeenth
century. The prophecy asserted
that in the twentieth century there
would be a great world war, started
by the diabolical cleverness Of an
emperor OF the country of Martin
Luther in alliance with another en-
peror, both bearing on their mill
tary uniforms and on their national
escutcheons two black eagles. It
added that civilization would defeat

MOTHER IS DEAD
SOLDIER LEARNS
ON RETURN HERE

Private ,Iohn McGraw of Pocasset,
has returned from overseas, where he
served several months with the
American expeditionary forces
Private McGraw landed in France
in July, 1918, and spent several days
in the front line trenches, during
which time he was gassed at st. Mi
hiel He landed in the United States
on New Years day and was sent to
Ft. Riley, Kan, where he remained
several days on account of his physi-
cal condition.
During four days of my service in
the front line" Private McGraw said,
"our ration consisted of three slices
of bread. A Hoover meal would have
been highly appreciated had it been
available. At other times, we were
given plenty of nourishing food"
Although the war is over and Pri-
vate McGraw has been mustered out
of the service, it was a sad home
coming. His mother died December
3. Two brothers, who are now in
France, have not been advised of
their mothers death.
The returned soldier is a brother
of Tom McGraw, a fireman with the
city fire department.

TIME
PUT SPUDS
IN GROUND

+ The latter part of this month or
the early part of March is the time
to plant potatoes, according to q. b.
Hilderbrand, assistant county agent
Il recommend this time,' Mr.. Hill
derbrand said this morning, because
potatoes planted then will mature be-
fore the Oklahoma drouth. Although
there is every prospect of being no
drouth in Grady county this year, 1t is
always the best policy to arm against
such an occurrence. Care should be
taken in selecting sound seed and
seed that are free from scab, he says.
The potatoes should be cut, leaving
two good eyes to each piece The
ground should be plowed or spaded
deep and the seed planted in rows
two, and one-half or three feet apart.
About eighteen inches space should
be left between each hill and one
piece planted in hill. This should
be covered to the depth of four
inches.
A light coating Of fertilizer or well
rotten barnyard manure spread over
the top viii materially add to the
yield of the crop, he added and where
litter or straw is available good re.
suits may be obtained by mulching
the potatoes with fairly heavycoat-
ing of straw However, city gardeners
must take steps to hold the straw in
place, or the first gust of wind might
transfer it to the front lawn
Tomato, cabbage and pepper seed
should also be sown at once, in Mr..
Donart's opinion, to have the plants
ready for setting out later in the
spring. These should be planted eth
er in cold frames or in window boxes.
Considerable time may be saved by
testing garden seed for termination
before planting, he continued, as oft
en- ten orfifteen days are lost by
planting poor seed.
