FROM Coach O,Rourke.

Coach Steve O'Rourke of st. Mary's
writes me that he made no statement
criticizing the officials of the Ottawa
WaShburn game Saturday. He further
states that Edmonds and Hill are most
competent officials but at the same
time Steve admits that he used a stop
watch while watching the game dur
ing the last half. 1 can say that Ed
monds is u fine referee because 1 have
worked with him in games, about Hill
/ can't say as 1 have never seen him
work. However, Steve didn't make
the statement previously published;
''-Suff said"
Bennie Owens, not of Norman,
Okla, but the coach of the Union Pa
cific football team, says his team de-
feated the Santa Fe team Sunday af-
tcrnoon by the score of to 0. He
also Gays that the referee gave them
the two points. Bonnie doesn't think
much OF the Santa Fe craftsmanship
from the tone of his letter.

las Real Team.

A real football team has been de-
veIopCd at St. Mary's college by Coach
u 4touIi5e. Starting late the blue and
White squad looked very ragged in
tncir opening game but they are COM
ing along in great shape now. Friends
was defeated last week, 19 to 0, in a
hard fought game. Three men stand
out on the Catholic team as real stars
and are possibilities for the mythical
aH-s.ate team chosen at the end of
the football season; they are Captain
l0lGnd at center, Kelly at end and
Lane at half. Boland makes a real
leader, plays hard all the time, one of
the best defensive centers in the state
and gets down the field on punts with
the ends. Kelly, handicapped with a
bad shoulder, is playing a wonderful
game for the Saints, He is a sure
tackIer and receives the forward pass
in big league style. Lane is undoubt-
cily the start of the team. This boy
is fast and carries the ball for gains
every time his signal is called. He is
also a fine punter and places his
kicks in spots where they will do the
most damage. He is a beautiful drop
kicker and will score many points for
the Saints this year.

MARKET OPENS AT ADVANCE AND GOES
 HIGHER AT CLOSE

New York, Feb. 12.--Thc cotton market opened at the advance today, renamed steady and higher turnout che session and had it's strongest period toward the close, which show ed net gains of 3 to 35 points. The bulges Tn the Liverpool market and the wet weather in the belt were the main reasons for the buying. Buy CTS were rather cautious, however, because of pessimistic dispatches from Washington regarded the fl nancial situation abroad and because of the railroad wage dispute, but at all times the market had an insult ficient supply of contracts to work on.
 Liverpool's bulge of 73 English points on spots the sales of 5000 bales on the spot and imports of 54,- 000 bales of cotton, of which 49,000 bales were on American growth, aroused all manner of business com ment and resulted in good demand as 500 mas the market here opened. The inquiry was further strengthen ed by rains in the belt and especially by the rains in Texas.

CHAPTER XI.
By May Christie

I awoke on the morning following my extraordinary adventures tc a new, radiant world. The sun was shining through the lace curtains of my window, making a cheerful pat tern on the floor and walls.
 In the distance, from the home farm, came the lowing of the cows. The victorious growing of a rooster, too, struck a safe, reassuring note. Could all the happenings of yester- day have been but the Pigments of my own imagination
 I.slipped out of bed, donned some slippers and the blue Japanese Xii mono drew aside the curtains, and surveyed the new day.
 But what difference! Last night from this very window, Iahad watch ed two men carry human figure from the house and smuggle 1t through the shadows to covered cart. The incident held for me a sinister significance. l had been afraid. -. But today mo sign of last nights deed was visible. Upon the contrary everything was bright and cheerful. The morning sun was glittering on the lawns, an devery little blade ot grass held dew-drop frosty as q diamond.
 I flung my window up and took long, deep breath of air. Surely { the blessed sunlight and the sweet country sights and sounds would clear the cobwebs from my brain: It was fresh, breezy morning, full of enchantment-an unwritten page of life.
 "Helene, dear girl, are you awake 2" A quick knock came at my door, Then it opened and Alice's fair head was thrust through the apertufe. May I come in ?" l I turned, surprised. For Alice is notoriously sleepy-headed. It was not yet eight o'clock. What could have made her rise so early?
 "Of course, come in. Pm glad tt see you" Forgetting the injury sh' had done me, momentarily unbent l"Aren't you afraid of catching cold? ?

had various names for it, the Chip pewas calling it "manomin," from which later came the designation of the Menominee or "wild rice" tribe.
 "Manomin" has played an import ant part geographically in the Gen. tral West, the curator notes. He cites the names of numerous geo. graphic units derived from various appellations for the product. Among these are the names of such cities and lakes in Wisconsin and Minneso- ta as Menominee, Lac de Folle Avoine and Rice Lake.
 Better harvesting is at present q prime requirement to increase and improvement of the crop, pr. Gii- more says. The Indians went about the waterways in canoes and row boats to knock off and collect the grains. Modern harvesters travel about the ponds and lakes m launches and motor.propelled fan

ern lake region. Although it is on the market to some extent, it is re- ceiving by no means the attention it deserves from the American people as whole.
 "The Indians considered wild rice a food factor so vital that it was fighting for. The Chippewas pushed the Dakotas out of the Minnesota lake region in order to procure the rice fields, the incident marking one of the first instances in which q tribe used firearms to overcome the spears, bows and arrows, and toma hawks of an opponent"
 Dr. Gilmore reports findings which indicate the Indians used swild rice much as other small grains are now used. It should not be confused with the common variety of rice, he says, because it is an entirely diff ferent genus. It has much the ap- jpearance of oats and was known to 1 the early French settlers as.

 "What do you think of Travis Lloyd? A perfect dear, isn't he? But so wasted!" Alice flung keen glance in my direction.
 "How-wasted? ?"

She climbed straightway into my empty bed, and drew the cider down about her, hunching up her knees in a childish attitude. She looked so young, so innocent, SC simple-and so sweet! No wonder men believed in her!
 "What ghastly evening it was last night!' She pouted petulantly, Don't you agree 7"
 I did, indeed. For moment, my natural feminine instinct was to tell Alice of the sinister events that had occurred almost immediately below my window late last night! But conquered the impulse, thinking that, after all-Travis Lloyd, the owner of this house, was the proper person for my confidences. (
 "I had confoundedly bad luck at cards" went on Alice, drowning, t"Do YOU know, Helene, that l lost thirty pounds last night ?"
