FARMINGTeNi4; FLAT RIVER IA

Last Saturday afternoon on. the
Flat River grounds the Pennington
and Flat River football teams played
tie-game, the score being 14-14, two
touchdowns each with kicked goals
making tie scores.
In the first two quarters of the
game Flat River had the Pennington
team outplayed. In these quarters it
was that she made her two touch
downs and kicked the goals, the half
ending with the score of 14-0 in favor
of Flat River. The lineup of the
Pennington team was changed some
what between halves and when the
play began in the second half, the
work of the Pennington team
strengthened. The third quarter was
hard fought but neither team was
able to score. In the last ten minutes
of the last quarter the local team
braced up and from then until the end
of the game the football fans were
treated to thrill after thrill. The ball
was worked down close to the Flat
River goal by the Farmingtonians
and after being held for downs and
then recovering the ball on tumble,
Simms carried the ball over for a
touchdown and kicked the goal. Score
l4-7. The second touchdown for
Pennington was made by Ted Graves
when he caught a punt which hit and
bounced off the goal post after being
kicked by the Flat River quarter
back who was kicking out from be-
hind the goal posts. Graves then
punted out to Simms who caught the
ball, and then, Graves holding it,
kicked goal and tied the score.
The last ten minutes of play were
the most exciting minutes of play
witnessed in this section of the coun-
try for some time. The tension was
especially high when the punt-out and
goal-kick on the second touchdown
for Pennington was in progress.
Flat River played hard to win the
game, but the Pennington team was
very determined that they would not
accept defeat from them, and this
accounted for their hard work in the
fourth quarter. Pennington is nov
victor in the series with Flat River
having won the first game and tiet
the second.
Coach Courleaux, of the State
Teachers College at Cape Girardeau
refereed the game, while Harve!
Halle served as umpire.

Farmers Week to be Held January
10th to 23d.

The Missouri College Of Agricul-
ture has arranged its annual Farm
ers' Week to be held January 18th TO
23d. More valuable information of
interest to farmers will be crowded in
to these five days than they would
ordinarily be able to pick up by read
ing during much of the remaining
year. Lectures and demonstrations
of a practical nature will be going on
at ali times on many different sub
iects so that one can choose the sub
iect most interested in and, attend that
lecture. The entire teaching force Of
the College is turned over to be used
by the farmers during that week.
The evening lectures are more than
worth the time and expense spent in
attending Farmers Week, for men and
women of national reputation, from
all parts of the world are secured to
make up the evening program. Last
year, men and women were secured
from both England and France, to ap-
pear on our Farmers Week program

Self-feeders for hogs.
The old method of feeding hogs is
gradually passing. The sooner il
disappears, the better off hog feed
ers will be. There is no question but
that the most economical gains can ht
made on hogs with the 9self-feeder in
stead of the old method of throwing
out SO much feed to thebhogs at GER
tain times each day.
The high cost of food has driver
many city men to adopt the cafeteria
plan. in feeding themselves. Let TIN
same principle apply to your hogs

boxes and let them be guided by thei
