Back in the old days, before the
reformers did a sane thing, and de-
brutalized football, and before cracked
ribs and collar-bones were considered
causes for leaving a game, Topeka was
accustomed to witnessing two real bat
ties a year.
Kansas university VS.. Washburn
was one of them. Washburn VS.. Baker
was the other.
In the days to which we have refer
ence, the late sos and early '90's,
women needed strong hearts to attend
games, and men must have even more
weight and stamina than at the pres
ent time to participate.
The three great teams in Kansas in
those days were Washburn, X. U. and

Baker. No other teams were recog-
nized. It was simply 1.-The Mighty
Trio" No one disputed their strength.
The mass-play was the real means
of ground gaining, according to the
old-timers, and the members of 1.-The
Trio mastered the art of mass play
to perfection.
We talked to an old-timer today. He
was just kid when those games were
played, and here's what he said:
Il used to watch the games with a
feeling of dread. But it was fascinat-
ing to me. When one team or the
other would line up for the old turtle
back my blood would run cold. The
great three-sided wedge would FORM
with the man carrying the ball in the
middle, and the teams would clash.
When the play was over, a great pile
OF humanity gave a general idea to
the location of the ball"
So it was in the bygone days. Most
of us are glad the rules changed. Many
men still suffer injuries. but the pro-
portion was greatly changed when the
decentralization of the game was EnalIy
effected. Many followers of the sport
thought football was dead when the
rules committees formed rulings that
forbade much of the needless rough
ness. But they were, of course, wrong.
The popularity of the game increased,
rather than decreased.

Baker team at that time, and described
as a fast player by the fans, decided
that the challenge should not go I'M

game in Topeka. The date was set for
December Z, and when the day ar

showed, and when the time for the
game arrived, nearly a foot Of snow

But the players were undaunted.
Captains GoodaIe of Baker, and w. D.

with the officials. They decided to

sufficient fund for running the de-
partment as that Is double the amount
of what it cost under the old law
where we had to deal with the teach
ers an dthe investment of funds
practically on the same basis as
under the new law. AS / said be-
fore, teachers funds are trust funds
and should be handled as economical
ly as possible.
In connection with this matter and
for your consideration l would like
to suggest, in order to avoid trouble
in the future, that an opinion be OBJ
tanned from the attorney general
or the court on two points. Can
the state, after school board has
entered into contrat with teach
er for certain amount for teaching,
deduct five per cent from her month
ly salary and deposit that in a fund
without her consent? The second
point is this. Can the state levy
a special tax for the special purpose
of providing retirement fund as is
done under this new Teachers Re-
tirement law? / am raising these
points for your consideration. l do
no pertend to have a knowledge of
the law in regard to these subjects
and there may be decisions render
ed by the supreme court bearing up
on them. If SO, my suggestions may
be disregarded.
Yours very truly,

FEDERAL HIGHWAY AIDS

Funds making possible the employ
ment of from 100000 to $4,000 men
for one road building season are ap-
propriated by the Federal highway
bill. The BILL, agreed upon by the
conferees, carriees $4,000, 900 APP
preparation, of which $25, 200, 0Oe is
to be available for distribution among
che States as Federal aid in road con-
struction when the bill becomes law
and $5O,OOO,OO0 six months later. In
addition, $4,000, 900 is to be immedi-
ately available for National Forest
roads and $10,OO0,0O0 more On July
1, 1922.
The Federal aid appropriation will
be distributed and administered un-
der the supervision of the Bureau Of
Public Roads, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. In con-
tinuing the operation Of the plan
the Government is taking a step that
should have far-reaching effect in
relieving the present unemployment
situation and in some States it will
make possible the continued employ
ment Of men who otherwise would be
thrown out of work and thus swell
the ranks of the idle.
The Federal money is to be match
ed by funds under the direct con-
troll of the State highway depart
ment. When so matched-and in
many cases the States have taken
action and are simply awaiting the
availability of the Government ap-
propriation-it is estimated that it
will make possible road work which
will give employment to from &c.,
900 to 100000 men for 6 months
distributed over the period required
to spend the money. This estimate
of employment includes men en-
ployed on actual construction and in
addition men employed in producing
and hauling materials.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT IN THE
WAY OF EMPLOYMENT?

At this time Of the year there are
many people who have odd jobs to
do, such as splitting wood, spading
gardens hanging storm windows,
cleaning chimneys, iaking up leaves
and refuse, hanging storm doors,
and many other odd jobs which take
from an hour to a days time, but
because of the difficulty in finding
persons to do this work are compell-
ed to do the work themselves.
There is also at this time many men
who are seeking employment, and
with a view to 'bringing the persons
desiring odd jobs done and the men
seeking employment together, MIR.
G. L. Knots, safety engineer at the

odd jobs to do will call him up stat
ing the length of time they can fur
nish employment and the kind of
work to be done, that he will have
man on the job to do the work.

for someone, and thus keep the

ports, excluding oil, in July, 1921,
a drop of per cent from the June
figures, according to data furnished
by the Records and Information Sec
ton of the Shipping Board. The
figures are based upon reports filed
by the master of the vessels upon en-
tering and clearing. As the average
percentage of vessels reporting is
around SO per cent of the total, the
figures can be taken as representa-
tivee OF our trade. The totals are
changed slightly from time to time
as delinquent reports arrive. but in
nc case is the correction more than

While American privately owned
ships gained per cent in July,

foreign lines in the same month in

ports, excluding oil. American in

STATE TREASURER
FOR ECONOMY
Objects to- Large Appropriation
Asked For Purpose of Carry
ing on Work of Department.


Madison;, October "a, 1921.
Hon. John j. Blaine,
Governor of Wisconsin,
CAPITOL.
Dear Sir:
At meeting held in your office
on October 18th the Teachers Re-
tirement Board asked from the Emer-
gency Board an appropriation of
$27 500 over and above the $4,000
appropriated by the legislature for
the purpose Of carrying on the work
Of that department. AS member
of the Emergency Board objected
to the excessive amount and you had
the matter referred to me for in
vestigation.
The Teachers Retirement Fund is
q trust fund and should be handled
as economically as any other funds
in the state. / have not changed
my mind on that subject although l
have been told that if the amount
was not forthcoming that the teach
ers in the state would rise up in
arms against me, and on the other
hand that as long as the money does
not come out Of the general fund,
but is the teachers money, |
ought not be so particular.
I am enclosing you statement
furnished me by the board from
which you will see that the amount
Of $4,000 may easily be expended by
doubling up on salaries and employ
ing twenty-five extra persons, as
their statement indicates. Besides,
/ was told that it may be necessary
to employ field agents for the in
yestment of the funds at a cost of
$4,000 per year. If these funds
were turned in to the land commits
sioners to be loaned out the same as
other trust funds for the purpose of
building and improving school houses,
which ought to appeal to the teach
ers, there would be no extra cost
whatever against the fund. The
land commissioners have more ap-
plications for funds for this pur-
pose than they are able to take care
of.
We have carried on Teachers Re-
tirement Insurance for the past eight
years at a cost Of about $4,000 per
year. / have made comparisons
with the State Life Insurance, which
is handled by the Insurance Depart
ment, and find the actual cost of
the latter is 5000 per year. The
State Fire and Tornado Insurance,
which is handled by the same depart
men( carries insurance to the
amount of sixty-seven million dol
lars. Both the insurance and the
investment of funds is less than
$500 per year.
! am satisfied that if the Teachers
Insurance was placed under the SUI
pervision of the State Insurance De-
partmenI which has an actuary, ma
chinery for running insurance de-
partments, with room and vault
space sufficient to take care of the
records, it would not even cost $12,-
600 per year, and there would be no
call for any emergency fund. I be-
lieve that the Finance Committee and
the legislature considered that a
