Sorghum Making Prices Go Up.

Knoxville, Ia.-Henry Allen south
east of town, has been operating an
old-fashioned sorghum mill this fall
and has just completed his run for
the season, with an output Of 802
gallons to his credit.
In past years the output has been
from 1000 to 1900 gallons, but
the cane acreage this year was cur
tailed by the corn acreage. Mr..
Allen charged his neighbors Is cents
per gallon for making their cane
into sorghum, but remembers the
time back twenty years ago when he
made the cane for Is cents gal
lon.
In those days he secured help al
from IS cents to 81 day and nut
coal at cent per bushel at the
mine. This year his help cost fac
tory prices and the coal 80 cents
per bushel delivered on the ground

LUTHER WINS As TO II.
Defeated st. Mary's College at Wi
mona on Thanksgiving Day

Luther wound up the football sea-
son on Thanksgiving Day at Vino
ma, Mimi, by defeating st. Marys
College by score of As to IA. The
score as first reported by telephone
was an unfortunate error which was
corrected when the squad came back
and the men gave the report in per-
son.
st. Mary's had two or three play
ers of steller grade whose efforts
aided by a penalty on Luther carried
the ball sixty yards for a touchdown
in the only display of real football
that they made. Their second score
came on a tumble on Luther's part
in catching a punt under the goal
line. st. Mary's recovered and the
colored full back, Hudson, carried
over on the next touchdown.
Luther scored five touch downs in
the first half. On the very first play
after the kick off, st. Mary's full
back dropped back for a pass, but
the center sending the ball back
wild sent it over his head, and Carl
Anderson was right there to pick it
up. He ran rs or 80 yards over the
chalk. Olvin Sorlein failed on goal.
Touchdowns came in quick sue
cession after this opening. The spec
tacular play of the period was a
returned kickoff by Westby, who
was not downed until he had the ball
on the very line from which st.
Mary's kicked. Peterson also merited
his full share of attention by two
difficult gains.
st. Mary's best men were Hudson
at full and Fugle and Martin in the
line. Hudson is a colored athlete of
ability. According to Coach Solem,
every one of Luther's men played
the top notch. The Winona Daily
mentions the whole back-feld among
the stars. Carl Anderson held Nord-
guards place at right end due to the
latter's illness.

CRESCO DEFEATS DEBORAH.
High School Team Lost ThanksglV-
ing Football Game 20 to Z.

The DEBORAH high school football
team were compelled to take defeat
for the first time this season when
they met the strong Cresco team on
their home field last Thursday and
were defeated by the close score OF
20 to 7. Cresco was unable to gain
thru the DEBORAH line, but with per-
feet interference they managed to
circle the ends for consistent gains.
Both teams made frequent use of the
forward pass. Cresco completing 3
out of IL, and DEBORAH 6 out OF 10
attempts. Each team had one pass
intercepted. Glesne who appeared in
uniform for the first time after
two weeks illness played a strong
offensive game for DEBORAH and was
ably assisted by Thomas and r. Oh
son. Bauder and w. Olson played
strong defensive game.
Cresco's first score came during
the first few minutes of play. De-
corah kicked off to Cresco who were
unable to gain and punted. The
punt was fumbled, however, and
Cresco recovered the ball on De-
corah's yard line. The next play
put the ball over for a touchdown.
Neither team could make any con-
sistent gains during the remainder
of the half, and the game was large
ly a punting dual with neither hav-
ing any decided advantage. r. Oh
son, for DEBORAH usually secured
greater distance on his punts than
]. Jones of CrescO, but the return
ing of punts by E. Jones offset this
advantage. Cresco made a strong
bid for a touchdown during the last
few minutes of play when a long
penalty put the ball on Decorah's
5 yard line, but they were unable to
shove the ball over.
Cresco scored twice in the third
quarter on long end runs, and a
beautiful pass from J. Jones to E.
Jones. Several DEBORAH penalties also
helped them to gain ground.
Decorah's touchdown came in the
last quarter. Viste recovered a fun
BILE on the 80 yard line, and R. Oh
son caught pass for a 80 yard
gain putting the balr on the yard
line from where Glesne smashed it
over. R. Olson kicked goal. DEBORAH
threatened to score again in the
last quarter when CrescO lost 20
yards on A plays, and were held for
downs on their own II yard line
The time keepers whistle ended the
game here, however, with the ball
in Decorah's possession on Cresco's
IL yard line.

Poultry Pays One Farmer.

Fort Madison, Ia.-Poultry raising
in Lee county is a paying proposit-
ion, according to John Casper, a
farmer living near this city.
Casper sold $1,000 worth of eggs
in the last nine months, as well as
number of chickens for market.
Thanksgiving dinner this year
will see less turkey than ever before
in southeastern Iowa, he predicts.
Small demand and high cost of food
has made turkey raising an unprofit-
able business for the average poultry
raiser.
