much like those of college students
generally. Football is perhaps the
most popular organized sport. Games
are played on the West Point grounds
with teams from many colleges, and
the season closes with the annual
army-navy game, when the West
Pointers meet the midshipmen from
Annapolis on Franklin field, Philadel-
phia. Basketball follows during the
winter months, many contests with
teams from other schools occurring
during the season, and then. in the
spring, comes baseball. of course

Soft Answer.

In a part of New York where the
conductors on the street cars still
come around to collect fares, George
Cohan recently jumped on car The
conductor collected fares and went to
the rear Of the car. Mr.. Cohan, wish
ing to be next the exit, left his seat
and took another nearer the door. The
conductor, meantime, on the lookout
for passengers, saw, as he thought, a
new man taking a seat, and went to
collect his fare Mr.. Cohan put his
hand in his pocket and offered the
conductor a coin. This is only one
cent" said the conductor, handing
It back. Yes" said George slowly.

was in the other seat This time 1

Banker Not Einancier.

No successful banker was ever q
great flnancier in the broad political
sense Of the term. Creative finance
Is always the work Of the Hamiltons,
the Gallattns, the Chases, not the
work Of the money lenders. Neverthe-
less, technical banking experience is
not to be despised in national affairs.
One Of the just complaints directed
against the new currency bill IN its
administrative features is that only
one member Of the seven members
of the federal reserve board is to be
a banker. This~is plainly a defect,
and the bankers who call attention to
it are performing a useful public serv-
ice.-New York World.

No other product of the soil needs
more reform in selling methods than
apples. A certain western grower
traced a shipment to the consumer in
order to find out what that worthy in
dividual paid for his product. This
investigation brought to light the in
teresting fact that the apples had
passed through no less than five
hands before reaching the consumer,
and while the grower had received
only 85 cents per bushel box for them
they had been retailed to the con-
sumer at $3.50 per box For this rea-
son we have, every season, apple or
chards full Of rotting fruit, while the
cities are full of hungry people who
would gladly buy this product If the
price was right.-Farm and Fireside

A Self-feeder assists in economical
pork production because it prevents
Saste.
If there are no trees In the hog lots,
it win be necessary to provide artifi-
cial shade.
There is no way we can make pork
fastes than to turn the hogs out into
a field Of clover
A permanent, well-built dehorning
chHte is much more satisfactory than
a portable one.
When pigs are kept free from par
asites it is not hard to get them to
grow at weaving time.
1t would be a good idea for each
farmer 10 raise a few calves and get
the benefit Of higher prices likely to
prevail.
Tobacco dust or stems chopped fine
and placed where sheep and lambs can
always have access to them will help

 CATCHER WILL BE
 ON THE JOB TODAY

Juneau is to have a real up-to- date dog catcher of the imported variety, who knows how to detect dogs even in the bosom of the fire side and take them to the dog pound, when they are unadorned with bone fide 1919 license.
 The young colored gentleman, whose name is Johnny Norman, ar rived on the Northwestern last even ing and in less than half an hour one of the City Councilmen had contracted with him to clean up the dogs" He informed the City Dad that he was the real thing when it came to catching dogs, and today he is on the job.
 According to the new dog ordi- nance the fact that dogs are kept at home does not exclude them from the provisions of the act, since the ordinance provides that every dog in the city must be licensed. Citi- zens will save themselves extra ex- pense by Interviewing A. B. Cole and getting a tag.
 The license fee is $4.00 for males and $500 for female.
