THE EVERGREEN WILDCATS
Bloomer Beauties Barney Wildcats
CHAPTER xiv.

Evergreen Wildcats to meet a
bevy Of the famous Bathing Beau
ties, on tour.
Sweet parent. What fearful
frofic that promised to be!
I'm thumbs down on any battle
with the suffs, but most Of the
boys were keen for it.
Lester Lloyd Simpson and Ed
gar Adam North possibly were
keener than their brethren. Those
birds had fallen for one bathing
doll with a terrible splash. OF
course, North being a natural left
handler, couldn't help it, I sup
pose; while Simpson was pure
southpaw from the eyes up.
A blond baby who called her
self Ruby St. Revere was the espe-
cial diving diva for whom our two
young heroes had tumbled. l
knew she was just having picnic
and basket lunch with Edgar
Adam and Sirnp. She probably
cared as much for either as a lit
tie neck clam does for higher
mathematics.
Leftheads Excited
But those two leftheads were
all excited. Within "a hours they
were deadly rivals, bitter as ar
senic. The rest of the crowd got
a real kick out of it.

So l told Simp he would have
to catch North. Huffy Doyle
helped things along by crying over

on going out in the field. Growl-
ing like bear with boils, Simp
donned the mask. 1t was a young
riot when North and he chewed
over the signals. The two of 'em
nearly delayed the game trying to

BIZ FRIER M'COLLISTER.

The basketball season in the
quad cities closes this week. Rock
Island, st. Ambrose Juniors and
East Moline finished last week. and
the "Swedes" are now ready to put
away their suits after their defeat
in the state tournament yesterday.
Davenport will end the season this
week in the state tournament at
Iowa City.
The Argus quad-city team this
year has not been selected on the
basis of which team won the cham
pionship but on personal merit. The
men were picked for their records
throughout the season.
The placing of Schick of Daven-
port at right forward will be &C
claimed unanimously. He was one
of the best players seen in these
parts for many years and, without
Schick, the Davenporters would
have been lost. He was sure
shot on a short pass under the
basket.
Biehl a Flash.
Biehl, Rock Islands steady little
forward, is selected as Schick' s
running mate. Although he never
was very spectacular, he played a
consistent game all season. The
Islanders were without the services
of Biehl during the tournament and
his absence was hard felt. Bieil
was never a wonderful basket shot
but played an excellent floor game
j and passed in good form.
Captain Rosenkranz of Rock Is
land is given the center berth and
| captaincy of the mythical team
Hank" was by far the best cen
ter and played good ball all sea-
son. He was a. consistent scorer
and in addition was a good de-
fensive player.
i Schmidt of Moline, and Layder
Of Davenport, are chosen as tht
guards. Layden is whirlwind a
running guard, while Schmidt is {
tower of defense at the standing pc
sition. Schmidt is in his SECOND
year at high school and he is ex
pected to be a whirlwind before
he graduates.
Good Second String.
The men picked on the SECOND
team were almost as brilliant =.
the first squad men, but failed II
play as consistent a game. Duncan
at times was unable to hit the loop
but in other games he was the Is
landers' chief scorer. Lumber.
and First are honored because O
their ability to shoot long shots
Both of these men are poor on de

loop at long range.

DURABILITY OF FENCE POSTS
Not Much Difference Between Split
and Round II Heartwood and
Sapwood Equal.

Some people believe split fence posts
last longer than do round ones. Prob
ably as large a number hold the oppo-
site view. The forestiproducts labora-
tory of the United States Department
OF Agriculture says that one will last
about as long as the other If the per-
centage of heartwood and sapwood Is
the same In both. II the percentage of
sapwood is increased by splitting, the
split post will be less durable, while
II the percentage of heartwood is In
creased 1t will be more durable than
the round one. Exceptions to this
should be made II the posts are of
spruce. hemlock or any of the true frs,
whose heartwood and sapwood are
about equally durable.
If the posts are to be treated with
creosote or some other preservatiye,
the round post Is preferable to the
split. because of the comparative ease
with which the sapwood can be treated.
at the laboratory demon
strate that the heartwood faces on
split POSTS do not, rs a rule, absorb
the preseryative as well as does the
sapwood.

GEESE QUITE EASILY RAISED
keot Generally in Small Floeks on
Farms and Purchased by Expert
enced Fatteners-

,prsosred nv the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
There is a demand usually for young
geese from June to January, although
most of them are sold around Thanks
giving and Christmas. Ten-weeks-olo
! gosllngs of the largest breeds OF pure
! bred geese weigh up TO ten POUNDS
when forced for rapid growth, and
sometimes are prOfitably marketed al
that age as green geese. Large citied
containing a foreign population offer
the best markets for geese.
Geese usually are killed and picked
the same as other kinds OF poultry, bui
are much more difficult to pick than
chickens. Generally the veins In the
back Of the mouth are severed with a
long-bladed knife, followed with q
blow on the back Of the head with a
short club The wings are picked to
the first joint, and the feathers are re-
moved from the neck half way to the
head, pulling with the feathers and not
back toward the head. The soft pin
feathers and fine down may be re-
moved partly by rubbing the body with
moistened hands or by shaving the
skin.
The dry picking of geese Is rather
difficult. The most common practice Is
to scald or steam the goose feathers
before picking. This can be done over
a wash boiler three-fourths full of
boiling water, laying the dead goose
on burlap sack stretched tightly over
the boiler, and steaming first the
breast, then the back, and then each
SIDE The whole process of steaming
will not take more than two or three
minutes, and the goose must be kept
moving to prevent scalding the flesh.
The goose Is steamed until the feath-
ers can be pulled out easily. and the
head usually Is laid under the breast
to keep the breast from scalding After
picking, the bird is singed over an al
cohol flame, the alcohol usually being
burned In shallow tin plates.
Another method for removing the
down Is to sprinkle powdered rosin
over the body of the goose and dip it
into hot water, which melts the rosln
so that 1t and the down can be rubbed
off easily, leaving the body clean. |
Geese may also be steamed by scalding |
slightly and wrapping the body tightly |
'or five minutes or longer In burlap or
10th to allow the steam to work thor
,ughly through the feathers. Some
markets prefer dry-picked geese, while
n other markets no difference is made
n scalded or dry picked
Geese are raised successfully in all
arts of the United States, but are
nost abundant In the South and the
fiddle West. Slightly more than one
enth of the farms in the United States
eported geese In the census of 1910.
