EARLHAM WARRIORS
APPEAR We'll IN THE
FIRST SCRIMMAGE

First scrimmage of the season was
held at Earlham Saturday afternoon,
and the way the team stacked up
shows that they are going to be 4
formidable aggregation before the
close Of the grid season.
The first string squad tore through
the scrubs for six touchdoWns in the
first 20 minutes of play. When the
ball was given the second team to
carry they were continually thrown
back with long losses.
The varsity squad started off with
lookout and L. Nicholson. ends; Cor
don and Pennington, tackles; Johnson
and Chambers, guards; Beasley, cen
ter; Snyder, quarterback; Carter and
Beck, half-backs. and Wenbin, full
back This was shifted after the first
Is minutes and different men tried
out in the backfield.
Wenbin at Full-back?
Wenbin, a freshman from Cincin-
natl, bids likely to put an end to the
worries of Move for a full-back He
weighs about IT'S, and has played some
preparatory school football. He hits
a line fearlessly, and makes a hard
clean tackle.
AnOther thlng that showed up gOod
in practice was the kickoff, lookout
and l.. Nicholson took turns at this
and both sent the ball over the goal
line. Girtin, of Camden, playing full
back for the scrubs, showed up good
He punts exceptionally well, putting
his 220 pounds behind the ball and
sending it So to 60 yards per kick.
Ivey Has Quit Game.
Charles Ivey, track star, has been
forced to quit the gridiron game. A
weak heart which has been botherip g
him for the last two years makes it
inadvisable for him to continue IN
the game. He was making a strong
bid for the quarter position.
Scrimmage will be held practically
every evening for the next week by
the Quakers in order to get in shape
for Hanover in the first game of the
season, Oct. 2, on Reid field.

QUARTERBACK PROBLEM
WORRIES COACH NULL

Practice was not held by the high
school pigskin artists Saturday be-
cause Of a few injuries received in the
heavy scrimmage that was held Fri
day evening. The squad will be lined
up again this evening and Sundays
will be the only vacation days.
A quantity of new suits have been
ordered by the high school in order to
have two fully equipped teams. The
first game of the season is with
Shortridge high school on Reid field
Saturday, Oct. 9.
Men are being shifted around in
order that Null may be able to find
out just where they seem to fit best.
Development of a quarterback is
one of the big problems the coach is
facing. He is alternating Lowman
and Bescher at the pivot job and end.
These men show up fairly well but
both lack football experience.
Brown has been shifted to end and
Loehr put in the full back job. Loehr
has an advantage of about 20 pounds
on Brown and this makes some differ
ence in the way man hits the line.
Brown is fast and will probably make
good showing at the end job.

skin irritation and that makes the skin

MONROE COUNTY REMAINS
U. s. POPULATION CENTER

BLOOMINGTON, md, Sept. 2O.-Ac.
cording to information from Washing
ton, D. c., the center of population Of
the United States for the new census
will again remain in Monroe county.
According to the Census Department it
is located from six to eight miles due
east of Bloomington. Ten years ago
the population center was located by
census experts on the William Steph-
ems farm, eight miles east of here, but
three weeks later the department re-
vised its figures and located the center
on the Showers furniture factory site
within the city of Bloomington, where
it has remained until now. Twenty
years ago the center was near Column
bus, Ind, and this will be the first time
in the history of the United States that
the drift has been eastward instead Of
westward.

Development of Vermont Hotels.
tRutland News.)

Charles Carrigan, former Vermonter
and prominent hotel man, had real
message to bring the Rotarians in par
ticular and the people of the state in gen
eral, when, at the weekly luncheon of the
Rotary club Monday, he spoke of Yer
mont's splendid natural attractions from
the point of view of the man seeking a
site upon which to build hotel. He told
them, in effect, however, that before the
maximum of development could be
reached Vermont must have better roads.
Naturally tourists will not be attracted
anywhere, even though the spot be most
beautiful, unless the journey can be made
with some degree of comfort.
Once given good roads Vermont would
have score more excellent hotels with
accommodations for thousands during a
season. 1t would mean added income to
Vermonters totalling hundreds of thou
sands annually.
1t is an additional strong argument for
a more liberal expenditure of money on
our roads and for getting away from
the penny wise and pound folish idea
that Vermont cannot afford to do more
development work in this direction
Where the state is now saving dollars it
is losing hundreds.

federal government s share in this huge
undertaking is greater than was the
cost of the Panama canal
"The participation of the national
government in highway improvement, -
says the department of agriculture
statement just issued, "marks a de-
parture from a policy which had been
followed for nearly century Federal
cooperation on an approximately fifty
fifty basis has counted more than any
other factor in initiating highway con
structiOn that is being carried on under
adequate supervision and in accord
with a program co-ordinating local,
state and national needs.
I" Second only in Importance to the
size of the present road building pro-
gram is the excellence of the roads
being built. Sixty per cent of the total
allotment of federal funds which has
been approved to date viii be spent
for roads of such durable types as BIZ
luminous concrete, portland cement
concrete, and vitrified brick. These
roads when built will increase by 1900
miles the total of 14,400 miles of roads
of this class which existed in the Uni
ted States before the federal-aid road
law was passed. But these figures by
no means represent the total mileage
affected
aa s'In a1915 thee total expenditure for
roads and bridges by all the state and
local governments was 1867 100000,
while this year the estimated funds
available for main road construction
are nearly three times that amount, or
s633 100000 In all, federal funds to
the amount of $500, 100000 have been
apportioned among forty eight states
without suggestion of favoritism, so
adequate are the provisions for just
apportionment.
S'Up to June 80, 1920, 1855 pro-
iects involving a total of 29.319 miles
of road, had been approved by the sec
rotary of agriculture. The preliminary
estimates of the cost of these projects
is approximately 1884 100000, of which
approximately $163, s41, 900 will be ap-
proved as federal aid. On the same
date Gig projects, representing APP
proximately 1924 miles, had either
been completed or were under construc-
ton. The estimated total cost of these
projects in various stages of eonstruc-
ton and completed is $200.000000.
That Vermont will continue to seek
to do its utmost to take advantage of
every possible federal aid, goes with
out saving. This means that we must
be ready to do our part of the public
road work.

State And Federal Roads.
Burlington Free Press.)

The people of Burlington and the
Champlain valley in general and then
visitors are about to be put in po-
sition to see for themselves the effect
of cooperation of the government OF
the United States with the respective
states in the matter of building. good
roads. As already shown at length in
these columns the bituminous macadam
roadway about to be constructed be-
tween Burlington and Shelburne will
represent this cooperation of state and
nation.
This Burlington Shelburne highway
ought to serve as an excellent object
lesson, in the use of the materials in
question, precisely as the cement road
way past the United States military
reservation at Fort Ethan Allen exem-
plifies that sort of construction. We
shall have abundant opportunity to
compare results and thus be in q po-
sition to adopt for the state in general
that method which seems best as a
supplement, where necessary, to our
gravel roads.
In this connection it is interesting
to note what has already been accom-
plished as a result of cooperation of
federal and local authorities through
out the country. Highway construction
in the United States started since the
passage of the federal good roads act
aggregates in length nine times the dis
lance from New York to San Francis
co, according to Thomas II. Mcdonald
chief of the bureau of public roads of
the department. Of agriculture. The
