You cannot keep a good mar down
That's what is often said.
And when his chance presents itself
He stands out at the head.
For instance, in the gridiron sport
A mar is of the mob.
And then he shines serenely as
He gets the coaching job!

All the great coaches don't come
from the ranks of the star players.
In fact. n lot of the top-notch
mentors of today were just ordinary

Some OF the big coaches of today
lacked the necessary luster to make
them shine when they were players.
You never heard of Glen Warner
doing anything wonderful when he
was playing guard al Cornell.
Bob Zuppke was a lowly Sub" In
his Wisconsin football days.
.
Fielding Yost was n very ordinary
player at West Virginia and Lafa-
yette when he wore the moleskins.
o
AlonZo Stage was a better base
ball pitcher on the nine than an end
on the eleven during his Yale stu
dent days.
Coach Roper never caused the
headline settlers n extra work I'M
til he got into the coaching game.
q
John Heisman was Just one OF the
boys on the old Penn teams.

Mount Vernon was just the ordinary

CALIFORNIA RICE DOES WELL
New Agricultural Industry Produces
Crop Worth Millions
of Dollars. g

Washington.-In eight years the
Sacramento valley of California has
developed a new agricultural industry,
rice growing, which this last season
has resulted in a gross production es-
timated to be worth approximately
twenty-one millions of dollars. This
showing is the result of research car-
ried on by the bureau of plant indus
try of the department of agriculture.
Following experiments by the bureau
covering three years, the first COM
mercial rice crop as planted in 1912.
The value of the 1919 rice crop in Cal
ifornia will probably be several mil.
lions greater than that of wheat and
peaches, both of which are commonly
thought of as relatively large crops
in that state.

Washington.-The value of crops
produced in the United States this year
is nearly three times greater than the
average annual value during the FIVE
years preceding the outbreak of the Eu-

of all crops produced in 1919 is $751;

Westinghouse was a neat little

something queer about it. There was
the arched gateway and the customary
weeping willows by it. The clipped
hedge was like most cemetery hedges.
The tombstones were about the aver
age run of tombstones. But, withal,
there was something queer-even
shocking. Then you discovered what
it was. These were truthful tomb

secure enough paper to publish the Congressional Record daily.
Then the vice president said: 1.-THE vice president will be very glad to ask
the senate, if the senator desires him to do so whether the publication of the
Congressional Record shall not be suspended during the famine in print paper"

UNIQUE CEMETERY
TEACHES LESSON

out of life with too heavy a broom
The people who saw that cemetery
and there were thousands of them
may have been shocked for the instant,
but they came away with the thought
that one might be better for seeing
such a cemetery. For, you see, it was
a miniature cemetery, three feet
square, and it was part of an exhibit
ut the Montana state fair. Such levity
with the most solemn thing that man.
kind knows could not be justified
merely on the theory that the things
said were true-but those who saw it
came away with the belief that it was
justified by way of keeping just those
things from being true. And that was
the purpose of the exhibit. placed
there by the agricultural extension de-
partment of the State Agricultural col
lege of Montana. 1t was meant to en-
phasiZe the need for home convent
ences, for lack of which many a farm
woman has gone to her grave before
her time.
Drive Truth Home.
There were other exhibits designed
to drive home the same hard truth.
One was a model showing q bleak
farmhouse on a bare hill. At the bot
tom of the hill ran a little stream, and
by the stream were barns and cattle.
Struggling up the hill toward the house
with two heavy pals of water vas a
bent old woman. And the legend was &:
convenient for the cattle-but not for
mother" Then there was a farmhouse
with the water supply as it should be,
the woman in the yard sprinkling her
flower beds with a hose. And the in
Scription read: Convenient for moth
Grand the cattle, too" Another
model showed a kitchen as it should
be, and another, a kitchen as it should
not be. And there was the legend: "a
!ong-distance kitchen shor Ems life"
The lesson taught by the exhibit is
one that the state agricultural colleges
and the United States department of
agriculture + trying to teach by
every means at their command-great-
er convenience and a larger measure
of comfort in the farm home.
