Our States

WSSs %ZsU thirty-eight to

four states
were added to the Union in that
year. In 1890 two more states
were admitted, the first of which
was Idaho, so that during these
two years the manufacturer
must have been kept busy turn
ing out new flags with the prop
er number of stars.
Idaho is very mountainous and
the name is derived from the
Shoshone Indian word meaning
gem of mountains"
The first white explorers were
undoubtedly Lewis and Clark on
their memorable trip in 1S04-5.
Idaho was part of Oregon
territory, which was Jointly oc-
cupied by British and Americans
until the Treaty of 1876 definite
ly turned over to the United
States the country south of the
49th parallel. In 1863 Idaho
was organized as territory,
with an area three times the size
of the present state, as it in
cluded Montana and part of
Wyoming. The next year Mon
tana was set off for a territory
by itself, and in 1868 Wyoming
was organized so that in 1890
when Idaho was admitted as
the f0rty-third state of the I'm
ion, its area was reduced to 49,
SSS square miles. Even so 1t
ranks as the eleventh state in
size.
The rapid settlement of Idaho
was due to the discovery of gold,
the same cause which so rapidly
built up the adjacent states. 1t
was in 1882 that gold was found
at Occur d'Alene in the northern
part of the state, and miners Inn
mediately flocked to the state
in great numbers.
There was serious labor trou-
bic In the Occur d'Alene sec
tion in 1892 and again in 1899,
when martial law was estab-
lished until peace between the
miners and mine owners was
effected.
Idaho is fifth from the end in
the list of states according to
population, and accordingly has
but four presidential electors.
But the state is, developing rap
idly.

in the final half of the Tennessee game are pointed out and the remark is heard concerning the game with Crimson tide as the "crooshul" one for the charges of McGugin.
 After the workout today but one more period of practice is scheduled on the local lot and there is a pos sibility that 1t will be the last. The team may depart late tonight but 1t Is hardly probable that they will start for the Slag City until Friday. Coach Daniel is a home grown prod uct and favors staying there as long as possible.
 Squad of 23
 A squad Of 22 will make the trip and Captain Wade will be carried along to sit on the bench. and lend inspiration. Fears are rampant in the McGugin camp that the auburn haired captain may not be in shape for another game this season because of an injury to his spine that has left him in an almost helpless condi- tion.
 Enthusiasm Is running high among the students and they are crying for Riggs Stephenson, who, by the way Is almost as popular at Vanderbilt as he was in his own university, led hls men to the first Alabama victory. A large crowd will accompany the team, both on the cushions and on the rods beneath.

BULLDOGS IN GOOD SHAPE FOR SCRAP WITH THE CADETS
Only Two Regulars Out of the Game at Present-AIford
 Has Returned

From the looks of things these days, the Howard Bulldogs are go- ing to take a much better team to Montgomery for the Marion game than they took to battle the Florida boys last Saturday. When the Bull dogs met the Alligators in the Capi- tai City they were weakened by the injury of five of their most depend able men, and those who did get in the game played little worse than their usual stride, so the Florida boys did not even encounter much opposition in their march for touch downs.
 This weeks practice is being de- voted to elimination of a few of the large number of faults that showed up so plainly in Towards last en- counter and, If the coaches don't weaken, the Bulldogs should do some mighty good work against the Ca- dets Saturday
 Another thing that will make the Bulldogs play better is the return to the team of some Of those who were out last Satur1ay One of the things that has frightened Towards out look most Is the return of Captain <AilOTQ tAlIoIQ Has Dt6l GdQlS AHASSsta from the lineup in Towards last two games, not only for his playing ability but his pep.
 Roberts being back in the game is also pulling the Bulldog stock up. Yesterday he was in the scrimmage for the first time in a good while, and he was so full of pep" that it almost took weights to hold him on the ground. The big problem of the opposing line was to keep Roberts out of the play.
 While the Bulldogs are doing sun dry bits of rejoicing, they also are lamenting the fact that Garrett is iia- ble to be unable to play in the Ma rion fracas. Saturday he had a liga- ment in his knee badly strained and has been unable to practice this week If the Bulldogs lose the serv- ices of Garrett they will have to de some tall looking around to find q man able to fill his shoes, as he has proven himself to be one of the most dependable men on the whole Howard team.
 With one or two exceptions the team is at present in the best shape that 1t has been in for a long time. If the Bulldogs can just hold this condition until Saturday, Marion should have the toughest battle that they have had this year.

drubblng by score of 2S to 13, Talla- dega looms up as a big obstacle in Tuskegee's path of victory. and from all indications there will be hard fight on hand when Tuskegee at tempts to lower the Talladegans' down to defeat.
 White football fans of the city will also be given an opportunity to see this game, as a portion of the right field bleachers has been reserved for white football enthusiasts, who want to see just how much the negroes are doing in the grid game. Tickets will be on sale for this game at Pryor Pumlees and at Hagan- Dunlap's, and every fan who wants to see a real football scrap will probably avail himself of the opportunity to see these two teams play.
 With both contestants teams of long standing rivalry and the interest high all over the city, there should be large crowd at the game at Rick wood Friday.

build his team this year, and in- experience began to tell just as soon as the season got under way. The young backs displayed stage fright, an uncertainness of balance and boise. As the sea- son has advanced. however, the green material has taken on con- fidence and has learned a great deal through Scott's tutoring. Tips coming from the university the past few days have been to the effect that Birmingham fans will see a vastly improved football team from the one that clashed with Sewanee here sev- eral weeks ago, and was forced to bow to the supremacy of the purple Tiger.
 The Alabama-Vanderbilt tilt Is going to draw out one of the big gest crowds of the season. Three games in one week. No wonder Birmingham is coming to be recognized as a hotbed of footballists around over Dixie.

Crimson's Altitude TowardI Vandy Game Is One Of Hope
"Never Say Die" Spirit Has Seized Alabama Warriors, and Crimsons Are Planning Great Time for Vandy
 Alabamians Show Much Improvement

Nashville. November 2.--(Special) All around in southern football cir cles the word Is being whispered that Coach Daniel McGugin is about to develop one of his old-t time teams and that vixen this years squad re- turns with the grid call of next fall the genial senator will have on hand an array of football talent that will not be surpassed in the southland.
 The game with Tennessee was the crucial test" they said, and the more optimistic forgot all about the Ala bama game and let their vision range on the tussle with the Georgia Bul- dogs and prophesied a Commodore victory. But the coaches are not for getting the Thin Red line.
 The Test
 After the gloriously successful in vasion of the Lone Star state, the Commodores returned to Nashville with the proposition that they had not scored what the official scorer would term "an earned run" Two of the markers against the Texas team came by intercepted passes and one was aided greatly by penalties, Against Tennessee the test was whether or not the Gold and Black could take the ball down the field with stoady, machine-like play with out the aid of penalties or flukes. If that was accomplished the critics were willing to admit that Coach Dan had a real football team.
 Despite the fact that two touch- downs were scored against the Vols that were allowed and one perfectly legitimate one which the referee didn't see and therefore didn't allow. those who follow the team in It's sig nals up and down the field are not yet willing to admit that the crucial point was reached in the Tennessee game. "If they score against Ala bama," these critics are saying, then we will believe they have a scoring team Tt is for that reason that the eyes of all of Commodore supporters will be turned towards the score board with eagerness as the details come in.
 Crimsons Improving

Plenty of Attractions


 Those interested in nose guards. headgear. cleats. line bucks, forward passes and the like are not going to suffer for amusement this week. Three games are billed for Redwood field. and each one of these bat ties is going to draw out quite q cluster of fans.
 The negroes start the ball tp rolling Friday ofternoon. when the Tuskegee and Talladega out fits will assemble at the Wood and seek to mangie each other. Grid battles between the blacks are always bone-crushing, blood spattering affairs, and the rivals have never stocked their vocabu- laries with the two words 'un- necessary roughness."
 Quite a deal of interest in this annual battle has been aroused among the white fans as well, and a portion of the stands has been roped off for the benefit of the white enthusiasts who will go out to witness the game.
 A FOrenOOn Attair
 Saturday morning Coach Chris topher of the Walker County Ill battalion will send his charges against Gil Meyers Central High outfit. More interest has been noted on this attraction than any high school performance ever staged here, where one of the teams is an out-of-town at- traction. Grid devotees around the Ham" are interested and are making their arrangements to go. while all of Jasper is planning to come over and root for vic- tory. Only last night Gabby Scott told me that 50 automo- piles from the Walker metropo- lis would trekk Birmingham ward Saturday to take in the biz game.

Kanred is wheat which is resistant
to prevalent forms of leaf and stem
rust, is less liable to winter killing
than the Turkey or Kharkof, and ma
lures from one to four days sooner
than those varieties, which sometimes
means escape from bad weather con
ditions. 1t outyields the varieties
named in the principal hard winter
wheat section by from three to five
bushels per acre. The variety was
developed from a single head of
Crimean wheat selected at the Kan

years ago. from which source 1t is es-

The superior yields of the Kanred va

excuse him only because he has been

one another in the order named, make
the best tamping material. The mate
