The present regrettable situation in the
Western Conference in which three teams
may go through the season indicated
and thus have a three cOrnered tie for
the championship could be avoided in
most instances if it were not for the
method in which Big Ten schedules are
made out. There is \ meeting each win
ter In which the coaches and representa-
tiTes meet and it is in this session that
games are arranged for the next season.
Last winter Iowa was passed up by
some Of the colleges for no reason that
could be- ascertaIned. The schedule
making is always easy for some of the
larger schools which because Of their
strength assume control Of things. This
situation should be remedied in some
manner. In place of the pickering and
bargain making there should be some
system of schedule making that would
be fair to all. Last season Indiana with
one Of the strongest teams in the Con-
ference was forced 10 receive little
recognition because Of its poor list Of
games.

There is always some happening COM
ing along to dispTOve the pet theories OF
the time 1t is as true in sport as in
other walks Of life. Last week, Bill Roper,
the Princeton coach, let eleven men play
a whole game against Harvard. 1t was
one OF the big contests where politeness
Is not the rule and hard tackling and
nerve-racking tension was present
throughout the melee Yet eleven men
played the entire game and came back
stronger In the last quarter than in the
early part of the game. and won the
battle in the final period. The team
became welded together as a unit while
Harvard continually sent in fresh men.
OF course such a thing is not always pos
sible but it seems to disprove, at least,
in this case. that the practice of rush
ing hOrdes Of new men into the game
any time and all the time had better be
given careful consideration before it is
given the final o. K.

GLENDALE
BY PAUL PRY

On Monday the agitation and sus-
pense of our people ran high, when it
was learned that DR.. Pierce of Mil
ford, who was attending Cove Belts
pronounced his case smallpox. The
town board called the doctor up and
censored him, for not placing the
Belts home under quarantine, but the
doctor denied making the statement
while Mr.. and Mrs. Belts stand firm
that he did. Mr.. Belts was walking
around town with his body broken out
with sores. W. S. Dickerson forced
Dr. Lofand to examine him, and the
doctor Immediately quarantined the
Belts home until further develop
ments under his supervision. He then
called for local board of health, and
Mr.. Whitney, J. B. Ennis, and 1. 7.
Baker acted as the board. DR.. Lofand
| in the mean time was attending the
daughter of Dorsey Morgan, and pro-
nounced the cases a violent case of
scarlet fever, and at once quarantin-
ed the premises. DR.. Jones of George
town was attending the family of Mr..
Tom Jester, and a Marker girl at the
home of George Spicer which he pro-
nounced scarlatina, and both places
were quarantined, and the school clos
ed indefinitely. We all feel grateful
to DR.. Lofland for his timely warn
ing, before the danger had spread to
an alarming extent.

absolutely dependent upon US. This is
exclusive Of 63 hospitals with 1852
beds, 12S clinics, rescue homes for
girls and unnumbered thousands of
refugees who are being helped through
our Industrial relief and in ether ways.
"The Near East Relief has during
the past four or five years commission
ed and sent to the Near East more
than 1000 American relief workers, Of
whom 500 are still in the field, all Of
them working at great financial sacri-
fce-the standard of salary being $50
per month and maintenance and
many of them facing great personal
danger and hardship in the perform
ance of their life-saving service. A
score of them have died from typhus
or other diseases more or less related
to their faithfulness in the perform
ance of relief service.
"NOr Is that all. We have raised

POINTS CONSIDERED
IN STANDARD BREEDS
Size, Shape and Color Are Out
standing Factors.
Desirable Uniformity Of Excellence
Gan Be Maintained in Every
Practical Quality by Careful
Selection of Breeders.

Standardized poultry, as the
phrase is commonly used in America,
is poultry bred to the standards es-
tablished by the American Poultry
association. The principal points con-
sidered are size, shape and color, say
poultry specialists in the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Size and shape are breed character
istics and largely determine practical
values of poultry. Many standard
breeds are divided into varieties diff
fering in color, but identical in every
other respect. Color is not pri-
mary utility point, but as a secondary
point often comes in for special con-
sideratiOn. For example, a white va
riety and a black variety of the same
breed are actually identical in table
quality, but because some black birds
10 not dress for the market as clean
and nice looking as white ones, it
)ften happens that they are not as
salable.
When a flock of fowls is kept for
'gg production only, uniformity in
olor is much less important than ap-
roximate uniformity in size and type,
ct the more attractive appearance of
flock OF birds of the same color JUS
lies selection for color as far as it
an be followed without sacrificing
lry material point.
When a poultry keeper grows his
,wn stock year after year. he should
W all means use stock of well-es-
ahlished popular standard breed. BY
hing 9" o. "' ting as breeders
only as many of the best specimens
of the flock as are needed to produce
the chickens reared each year there
is maintained a highly desirable uni
fOrmity Of excellence in every prac-
tical quality and a pleasing uniform
ity in color.

HOT WATER AIDS TREE SEEDS
SproutIng Can Be Hastened by Soak
ing in Water Heated Nearly to
Boiling Point.

Seed coats Of certain hardwood trees
which are almost impermeable to wa
ter often cause delay in sprouting. Fall
sowing or the cold moist storage Of the
seed over winter gives a long period
for absorbing moisture, say specialists
9f the United States Department of
Agriculture. The seed then usually
sprouts promptly the following spring
or summer. SprOuting sometimes is
FASTENED by soaking the seed for sew
eral days in cold water. If stored dry
and intended for sowing in the spring
the bOny-cOated seed of black locust.
honey locust and Kentucky coffee tree
should be placed in water heated near
ly to the boiling point just before
planting. After the seed has swollen
it sheuld be removed and sOwn at
once. The operation should be repeat
d when the seed does not swell at the
irst immersion.

ing of that language into law, Mr..
Gompers thought he had won immun-
ity for any depreciation that he might
perpetrate on a defenseless public in
his campaign to install himself as abb
sOlute dictator to American industry.
But the Supreme Court has put an
end to his carefully laid schemes. Re
garding that portion of the Clayton
Act the Court says: The section as
sumes the normal objects of labor
organization to be legitimate, and de-
clares that nothing in the antitrust
laws shall be construed to forbid the
existence and operation of such or
ganizatiOn or to forbid their MEM
bers from lawfully carrying out their
legitimate objects. But there is moth
ing in the section to exempt such an
organization or it's members from ac-
cOuntability where it or they depart
from its legitimate objects and engage
in an actual combination or conspir-
acy in restraint of trade. And by no
fair or permissible construction can
it be taken as authorizing any activ-
ity otherwise unlawful.
''It is probable that if the Court had
held that the language referred to did
permit a certain class of society to
commit unlawful acts it would havN
decreed the law unconstitutional and
void. All of which is added reason
for congratulation that this is a gov
ernment of the constitution and the
laws, and not of Mr.. Gompers or any
other individual or class"

ANOTHER COLD TURNDOWN
FOR THE REFORMERS

The campaign against tight lacing
has been waged for years by doctors
and artists. High-heeled shoes have
been condemned by people in every
conceivable walk of life. High collars
fall under the artistic ban, wells Gin
jure the eyes," short skirts are an
abomination. The reformers never
weary of reforming and yet never
seem to get anywhere, chuckles the
Dry Goods Economist.
A little while ago every one was de-
claiming against the long skirt. 1t
was germ dissemination, a street
sweeper, they said. The short skirt
has found even less favor, and said
refOrmers now proclaim that the
short skirt is the root of all evil, and
roll their eyes in horror.
Again, the reformers were needing
they knew not what when they howIed
against the iniquitOus corset. Now
that corsets have been abbreviated
to "give great freedom to the body"
and to some extent have been alto
gether abandoned, the reformers set
up wall that women are immodest.
They have no sense of decency, and
are to be everlastingly censured for
just what they were urged to do.
There is no pleasing them, it seems.
Why will the reformers not concede
the dear things the privilege of doing
as they please? American women may
be depended upon to do the right
thing; they are not abandoned crea-
lures, they are not immodest.
The American Beauty" loves her
place in the sum-" She will not sacri-
flee her figure for a fad. 'Uncorseted"

fashion abroad. When word came to
us that Paris, so long recognized as
the highest fashion tribunal, no long

owing to the heavy shade cast by
those crops. The most common cause
of failure to obtain stand of crimson
clover is a period of hot, dry weather
occurring after planting.
Results of Test Planting
The roots of crimson clover are in
oculated by the same strain of bac-
terra which occurs on the roots of all
true clovers; consequently a field
which has produced good stand of
red, mammoth, Alsike, white, hop,
Carolina, rabbits foot, or buffalo Glow
er is usually sufficiently inOculated
for crimson clover. A test planting
yielded 4,O57 pounds of crimson-clov-
er hay on one inoculated plot and g.
100 pounds on another. On two cor
responding areas which were not in
oculated the first plot yielded 761
pounds and there was nothing on the

SUPREME COURT OF UNITED
STATES RENDERS AN M
PORTANT DECISION
AFFECTING
LABOR

"a new and vital chapter has been
written in the economic history of this
country by the decision of the United
! States Supreme Court that labor un-
| ions and their members are account
able under the antitrust laws when
they depart from their normal and
legitimate objects and engage in an
actual combination or conspiracy in
restraint of trade" declares the Re
publican Publicity Association in a
statement issued today through the
President of that organization, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr. For years Mr..
Gompers has been seeking immunity
from our penal laws for himself and
the rest of his clique while they are
engaged in conspiracies against trade
to gain their own selfish ends. Those
efforts reached a elimination in 1913
when there was inserted in the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, in con-
nection with the item making appro-
priations to enable the Department of
Justice to enforce the antitrust laws,
provision as follows: That no part
of this money shall be spent in the
prosecution of any organization or in
dividual for entering into any combi-
nation or agreement having in view
the increasing of wages, shortening
of hours, or bettering the conditions
of labor, or for any act done in fur
therance thereof not in itself unlaw-
full"
"It is to the credit of Mr.. Taft that
one of the last official acts of his adj
ministration was the vetoing of that
bill. Under the law of criminal con-
spiracy,' he said in his veto message,
acts lawful in themselves may be-
come the weapons whereby an unlaw-
full purpose is carried out and accom-
plished. + + + This provision is class
legislation of the most vicious sort.
+ + 1t is because I am unwilling to
be party to writing such a provis-
ion into the laws of this Republic
that I am unable to give my assent
to a bill which contains this provis-
ion.' Although that particular bill
failed to become law, identically the
same provision has appeared in every
sundry civil law that President Will
son has approved.
''Emboldened by the favorable atti-
tude of the President and of the DEM
ocratic majority in Congress, Mr..
Gompers and his friends went a step
further and secured the inclusion in
the so-called Clayton Antitrust Act,
approved by Mr.. Wilson October Is,
1914, of provision reading in part
as follows: Nothing contained in the
antitrust laws shall be construed to
forbid the existence and operation of
labor organizations, = or to
forbid or restrain individual members
of such organizations from lawfully
carrying out the legitimate objects
thereof; nor shall such organizations,
or the members thereof, be held or
construed to be illegal combinations
or conspiracies in restraint of trade,

opposition in Congress, and the writ
