STORIES or AMERICA AND AMERICANS
All American Teams in Football Game Over Century
Ago at Ottawa Town on The Auglaze River.

Just imagine attending a foot ball
game in Ohio much over a century
ago. Of course, they had no col
lege yells, no cheer leaders, no school
colors. They wore no uniforms, head
gear nor spiked shoes. But the
Aborigines played a game nearer
resembling foot ball, than any other
American game in existence today.
They used ball, played on a level
field and cOntended to cross the goal
of the opposite team with The oval.
No doubt they had a referee. And
it goes without saying that when the
game was on in all i s intensity the
yels and cheers of the assembled
savages would at least equal the eff
forts of any rival University fol-
lowers of football today.
Judge Jacob Burnet of Cincinnati
a practicing lawyer under the old
Territorial Government and who
travelled to Detroit once a year to
attend court after Wayne county was
established in 1876, has lefa the
story Of a game he witnessed at the
Ottawa Indian town on the Auglaize
River. Blue Jacket, the Shawnee
CHIEF was absent, bul Burnet was
the guest of the Delaware chief,
Bukongehalas, who got up the game
in his honor. The teams arranged
themselves in the center of the field.
The bucks played against the squaws
each team facing the goal of their
opponents. The side which succeeded
in driving the ball through the stakes
at the goal of heir opponents were
to receive a purse to be divided
among the victors. The contest
waged back and forth midst great
excitement for an hour. The ball
would be almos1 over the line at one
end of the field and then the other

WIFI lS IRODOGE REV LEW
Butter prices have worked to a
higher level, due to the very good
demand and also to the fact tha3
reserve stocks in storage do not re-
present the best of quality. Present
wea her conditions, however, mean
increased production, which is bound
to cause lower prices within the near
future.
The egg market has remaf ned
firm, with reserve stocks still going
into storage i'm larger quanti les
than for the same period a year ago
In some parts of the country the
flush of the producing season is
past, and general ind cations are
for decrease in the marketing from
this time on.
Live poultry is moving quite freely
for this time of the year, and as
prices of poultry have not declined
in line with her meats, the indica-
tions are for light demand, with
declining market.

WHAT is THE MATTER
WITH AGRICULTURE

II Manhattan, July 30.-What is tn,
matter with agriculture? The farm
bureaus of Kansas, during the pas
week, have been finding out for tn,
benefit of the congressional com.
mission which has been appointed
to find out what is ailing the farm.
ing business.
Most of the counties have sent in
results of their hearings to Kansas
State Farm Bureau, which has just
finished compiling the results. The
testimony is that the main thing the
matter with agriculture is the low
price of farm products, produced at
high costs, while freight, interest
rates, taxes and manufactured goods
such as building materials and ma
chinery which the farmer must buy,
remain as high or nearly as high as
before.
A multitude of factors are as
signed as causes for these low prices.
Chief among these are the restric-
ton of credit and high interest
rates which force liquidation, gamb-
ling and speculation in food pro-
ducts, reduced foreign buying pow
er with low exchange rates, high
taxes, high freight rates, and the
fact that producers are not organ
lied to bargain effectively in mar
keting their products.
/ 1t was shown in the hearings that
the prices of wheat, corn, hogs, cat
tie and other farm products are
practically the same as in 1914,
while the prices of machinery are
fully 100 per cent greater than in
1914. Farm labor has advanced
from $25 month to $40. month.
Transportation costs are practically
double what they were in 1914.
Clothing, such as Shoes overans,
ETC., are twice as high as they were
seven years ago, and building ma
terial, as well as carpenters wages
are from 24 to 8 times what they
were in 1914.
It was pointed out in the hearings
that some commodities, such as hay
and other bulky products, cannot
be shipped because freight costs are
greater than the selling price of
the products.
These hearings showed that the
state farm bureau together with the
different county farm bureaus of
the state, prove excellent machinery
for gathering any facts related to
the farming bushes.
The results Of the hearings, to-
gether with those from other states,
were sent to the American Farm

PLINY CREDITED WITH YARN
Ancient Roman Said to Have origina-
ted Remarkable Story Concern
ing Habits of Tiger.

According to Pliny, when a hunter
wished to catch tiger cubs he must be
provided with very fleet horse, and
have another in reserve. when the
tigress finds her lair empty she darts
forth and tracks them by the smell.
When she comes up to the hunter he
throws one of the whelps to her, with
which she returns to her lair. Then she
rushes back, and he throws another to
her; and this goes on till he reaches
his Ship"
Equally interesting is the account in
the "Physiologus" which explains that
"the hart desireth the water brooks"
because it had been inhaling the breath
of dragons. So having filed its stom-
ach from the brook, it browns the
dragon out of its hole and Stays it with
its antlers.
Unicorns seem to have given much
trouble in those days, and were exter-
minated in most unsportsmanlike
fashion. "The hunters place a virgin
near the spot where the unicorn has its
abode. The unicorn, seeing her, runs
and places Its head in her lap, doing
her no harm" This very natural ac-
ton proves his undoing, for ''then COM
eth the hunter and killeth it."
Here is the reverse of the picture:
"But if she be not pure maid the uni
corn will not sleep, but killeth her."
This legend is also carved at Chester,
England
