 The practice thus far has included instruction and practice in passing and bunting, calisthenic exercises, light charging and sprinting. Due to the extremely warm weather it will be several days before hard work will be started, but as the first game is to be played October first, it leaves only few weeks to get into condition.

BUSTERS CROW SCOUTS


 There were six of them, these war riors of the Crow or Absaroke nation, who rode with Custer on his last march down the Little Big Horn river in Montana that day in June. 1878. When the leader of the Seventh caval- ry asked General Terry for his best Crow scouts In the camp on the Little Rosebud creek, Terry told him he could have Curley, White Man Runs Him." Hairy Moccasin, Goes Ahead" Yellow Face and White Swan. The Crows were glad to serve with the famous Indian fighter and they guided him until they located the hostile camp on the Little Big Horn.
 When Custer divided his command to attack the village, Yellow Face and White Swan were sent with Major Reno and Custer kept White Man Runs Him." Curly, Goes Ahead" and Hairy Moccasin with him. Yellow Face was killed while fighting with Reno, and White Swan was badly wounded, but finally recovered and lived until 1905.
 Today Curley Is the only survivor of the Custer Crow scouts and. ac- cording to his story, he is the last man who saw his commander alive
 After crossing the ridge, Custer turned to White Man Runs Him." Hairy Moccasin and "Goes Ahead" and said to them: You have done your duty. You have led me to the enemy. My soldiers will do the fight ing. You are to go now and save your lives" The scouts left him and made their way to the pack train un- der Capt. Tom McDougall.
 When Curley returned from Reno's position, he was given the same or der. He started and soon found him. self in the midst of hot fight. Find ing . dead Sioux warrior, he took his horse, gun and blanket. Wrapping the blanket about his head to conceal his Crow scalplock from the Sioux, Curley succeeded in reaching a high butte. Looking back he saw that Custer had charged down upon the Indians and was surrounded. Curley says that he watched the battle until he saw Custer. who was the last man standing, fall and then he rode away.
 The next morning the Crow scout appeared in General Terry's camp. He could not speak English and there was no interpreter. Curley took blades of grass, piled them all in a heap. and then, exclaiming "Pouf Pouf!" in imitation of the sound of . gun. scattered them wide apart. By means of this he made the officer un. derstand that Custer and all of his men had been killed. Like the ia. nous Greek, Curley the Crow was a messenger of disaster and he brought the first news of this Thermopylae oi America-Custer's last fight.

SWEET POTATO
 ACREAGE LARGER

Little Rock, Sept. 8.-The Arkansas crop reporting service has accounted for total of 1S,412 acres of sweet potatoes for the year 1921, with an expected shipment of 1900 cars.
 There were several points from which reports were not received and it is believed the total commercial acreage will reach 20,000 About 35 per cent of the crop is grown for selling pur- poses. It is also indicated that 73 per cent of the commercial crop of nearly 6,000,000 bushels will be cured. The capacity of the curing houses is practically 973,000 bushels. This is large increase over last year when the storage capacity was estimated at little more than half a million bushels. During the year number 'of curing houses have been built and in northwest Arkansas a number of the large apple storage houses are this year being used for curing and storing sweet potatoes.
 Arkansas is especially favorably situation for the stimulation of this in dustry,' says C. S. Bouton of the reporting service; ''the future market .ls to the northwest and there the de- mand is increasing rapidly. Arkan- sas and Oklahoma are the nearest states to this market and in this re- spect they have large advantage in freight rates over the heavier pro- duclng states to the east
 "A study of the carloads expected shows that not all points reporting in acreage will ship carloads. This in- dicates that in some cases the crop will be disposed of near at hand; in other cases it means that there is no data on which to base estimates. The total figures indicates that it takes about six and one half acreage yield in this state is not far from 105 bush- els, though in the commercial plant lngs it is doubtless larger. Usually something like 20 per cent of the to- tai yield is culled out or lost, so that of first shipping potatoes there is much nearly an average of 80 to 85 bushels per acre, than more and this indicates practically 61-2 acres to a carload of $50 bushels"

Kitchen Hints

The fruits and cereals you serve
at breakfast may often be combined
in such a way that both are i'm
proved.
Cereals need long cooking no mat
ter what the directions on the pack
age read. Start the cereal the night
before when starting dinner.
Then cook in the double boiler
while getting dinner and until the
dishes are washed. In the morning
relocating is all that will be neces-
sary.
IL dried fruit is added. add 1t the
last hour of cooking. Always have
the water boiling and sailed before
the cereal is sifted in. and stir con-
stantly for the first ten minutes of
cooking directly over the fire.
Allow a scant teaspoonful of salt
to every cup Of cereal.

Cook over hot water for 3 hours
and add raisins which have been
carefully washed and dried. In the
morning reheat and serve very hot.
There are so many wheat cereals
on the market that one has a wide
choice. The same rule holds with
these, they must be well cooked.
However. wheat cooks in a shorter
time than other grains and may be
| entirely cooked in the morning.
Stoned and chopped dates are de-
licious added to any cooked wheat
cereal just before serving.
Graham Mush.
One cup graham flour. az cups
water, ! teaspoon salt, II cup stew
ed prunes.

add flour slowly. Cook over the
fire forty-ive minutes, stirring to
prevent burning. Add stewed prunes

removing from the fire.

Add salt to boiling water and sift

For the sake of her child, the wife
Of a disloyal husband is often expec-
ted to forgive the past Though
many try. few succeed, for terrible
is the ordeal.
Consider the following graphic bit
of evidence concerning n wife's
struggle to forgive. In this letter
layers OF psychology are revealed TO
any student of the human mind and
behavior.
Three years z my husband
found a woman he loved better than
me and he broke all his vows. After
1 discovered the truth, he promised
to live like a gentleman. but last
summer he became infatuated with
a third woman. He had to beg my
forgiveness again and he made the
usual promises.
ST said j would forgive him. He
has been devoted to me since that
time, but somehow I have lost all
confidence in him.
There are times when Z think /
hate him, times when / wish he
would go away, out of my sight for
ever.
And then, when he is sick. and
once when he was hurt in an auto
accident, 1 think how dreary my life
would be alone
He was very sick recently. I
thought that my chance for revenge
had come. I decided not to take
care of him and he needed a great
deal of care. But of course my con-
science would not let me neglect
him, no matter how cruelty he had
wronged me.
