In viewing the brand of football
as played by the high schools Of
Northeastern Montana, I noticed in
particular that the teams were green
and inexperienced in most cases and
played a very ragged game. There
were also a great many cases of poor
judgment on the part of players
which would have changed material
ly the results of some of the games.
Most of the teams played very errat-
ic, at times some of them playing a
fairly good slashing game at one
time and then playing an entirely
different brand the next time. For
this reason it is quite hard to pick
good dependable players for some of
the positions on the so-called my
thical Eleven"
Few of the teams in this section
possessed strong back-felds but com
p%aratively weak lines. This is not
in accord with good football usage,
which provides, first, for the perfec-
ton of a strong defense and second
y for the development of the often
;ive power. A team which has a
strong defense frequently holds or
down a team which has a fair
lefense and strong offense.
In making the above criticism l

INTERESTING ADDRESSES All
DECEMBER MEETING OF
CIVIC LEAGUE
SAFE GUARD CHILDREN
Phillips Co. Woman and E. Y. Poore
Speakers-League Holds Its
Business Meeting

The Public Health Program given
at the December meeting of the Civ
ic League, Dec. IA, was. both inter-
esting and instructive. The Camp
Fire girls sang a song learned espec-
tally for the occasion, and E. Y.
Poore and Miss Richardson, county
nurse Of Phillips county, gave val
liable talks on health topics.
Mr.. Poore took as his topic "Con-
tagious and Infectious Diseases"
and dwelt upon the value of VAGINA
ton as a preventative measure to
keep people from having contagious
diseases. He said that the majority
of people were vaccinated against
smallpox, but that very few took
the %precaution to thus protect them
selves against taking typhoid fever
and other communicable diseases. He
explained clearly what takes place
in the blood when vaccination
"takes." The inner walls of the blood
vessels are capable of producing myr7
lads of bodies hostile to the disease
germs. The production of these bod
les is continued for some time after
the humiliation of the original germs
is accomplished, and the blood
to have so many of these hostile cells
or ssanti-bodies'' in it that it is not
difficult to overcome any of that sort
of germs that may be introduced IN
OF the body at a later time. Vacci-
nation against one disease does not,
however, render one immune from
some other disease.
Prevention Advice
Miss Richardson confined most of
her talk to the so-called "Chlldren's
Diseases and warned parents
knowingly permitting their
children to be exposed to contagious
diseases. 1t was not only the diseases
themselves, she said, that the child
had to endure, for a short period OF
but the after-effects which are
ant to attend most children's d1-
many of which have a life
.ong effect. She scored the negl1-
renee or ignorance of parents who :
assumed that children had to have =;
,hese diseases and that the sooner :
hey had them the sooner they would '
ret over them. She advised as much :
ISOLATION as possible for a sick child +
md said that it was as much the

BERLIN, Feb. 6.--FieId Marshal Won
Buelow told the LokaI Anzeiger today
that Germans whose names are on the
list of those whose extradltion is de.
manded by the allies "only did their
duty to the tatherland," and that ex.
tradition was ianomy to which mo
German would voluntarily submit" The
field marshal declared he would never
place himself at the disposal offs the
lief that most Of the commanders
named in the allied list would take tive
same view.
1t is understood that meetings Of
army and navy commanders were held
on Jan. Z, and it was unanimously con-
cluded that evasion of the extradition
clause of the Versailles treaty was en-
tirely compatible with German honor
and that no one must voluntarily sur
render Legal objections should be
lodged against orders for the arrest Of
any Of the commanders, it was decided
at these meetings. The government
has issued to the press a proclamation
reiterating its opposition to the extradi-
ton demand, and declaring it can not
be fulfilled by this or any other gov
eminent.

Settlement Of the conflict between
