nN NonERT EpGREN


The most important rule change IN
football this year is the elimination
of the placement OF goal Kick after
q touchdown. This will change a
long honorcd custom, and may pos
sibly be objected Co by some OF the
old-timors who think that football
should be- played as IL has been
played Just because II always has
been played that way. if you get
what I mean.
But irs a safe guess that 90 per
cent of the football fans ana play
Crs, old time and new, approve the
change.
There always has been something
unfair about tho final Kick for goal
and tho added point given for the
effort OF ono man. Football Is above
an other games a matter Of team
play when "a team by hard driving
has scored "a touchdown. and the
winning or losing OF the game hap
pens To depend upon the Culmnoss
aud SKIN of tie one man and a large
element of luck, team play doesn't
get its fun credit
There are many situations In
which the Kick for goal is hardly an
oven proposition for both teams.
ono team scores "a touchdown and
the other has not yet scored. The
Kick fOr goal under these ,ircumr
stances is a small nerve strain on
the man who does the Nckiug.
lut suppose the other team, near
the end ot the game, scores touch-
down and must have tho one point
for the goal kick To- oven tho score
ana prevent dcicut--uo other scor-
iug being likely In the short time
remaining
Then there is a tremendous nerve
strain uu the man who tries 20 boot
the bali over the rival cro8sbar. A
slip. slight change iu timing
caused 10y tense nerves, putf OF
wind may mako him miss And
then, although the two teams have
been absolutely equal IN playing
strcuglh aud skin, ono goes down
To uudo-orNcd defeat.
This may hc a small matter TO
Nuuu ut the spectators. But a COl-
lego boy doesn't look at II that way.
I've known college players who
would rather luHD 20 leg than toss utf
the bis game ur tho season to an
hereditary rival And that's no cX-
Uggcrutlou.
Tho substitution or tcam play
from the tNu-yaud lime by the team
that has lust scored. I'm which tho
scoring team Us given ono chance to
score again for a single added point
through any legitimate football play,
ls H'r tu both sides, and viii be
much more exciting tO tho Hpcctu-
tors than tho absolute try for goal
from placement.

CO. OPERATIVE LIFE INSURANCE
PROTECTS EUROPEAN WORKER

La Prevoyance Sociale, the great
Belgian cooperative insurance society,
is making drive with the aid of the
Belgian Labor party and the trades
unions to insure the lives of all the
workers of the Kingdom. The remark
able success already achieved by this
cooperative enterprise is shown in its
report Of December 81, 1921. On that
date it had insured the lives of I31 ,337
workers, besides protecting 1861
homes with fire insurance, and provid-
ing accident insurance policies as well.
The resources of La Prevoyance Soci-
ale exceed sixty million francs, with
cash surplus of two and one-half mil
lion francs in the treasury.
The British workers are securing in
surance without cost through their Co.
operative Insurance Society, a branch
of the great British Cooperative
Wholesale Society. Free insurance
benefits are given to co-operators in
amounts based on the total of their
yearly purchases. Thus the working
man with large family who buys all
his goods from the cooperative store
is protected by insurance much great
er than that given to the professional
mans family of two which makes only
occasional purchases at the co-opera-
tive store. The Cooperative Insur-
ance Society is now extending its pro-
lection to the employees of the 1850
cooperative stores of the United King
dom, the majority of which have al
ready adopted the plan.
Cooperative life insurance, like CO.
operative banking, exists all over Eu-
rope. The Swiss, the Danes, the Firms,
and the Germans show what can be
done when the workers unite co-opera-
lively to secure like insurance at cost.
The Danish Insurance Society "Tryg"
is now doing a business en- which the
premiums alone exceed four million
kroner year, while. the Danish Diaries
and Agricultural Accident Insurance
Society writes policies at cost for the
farmers, with annual premiums of over
two and one-fourth millions.
American workers and farmers are
turning millions of dollars a year over
10 private insurance companies control
led by the big bankers who use the
money thus deposited to cut the work
ers' throats. If European co-operators
have brains enough to run successful
insurance societies. surely American
workers ought to be able to do so, too.

from this
came the name Of the state. A
nickname for the state is the
Blackwater State.
OF the early Spanish explora-
tions little is known, except that
Coronado probably reached the
great plain Of this region in 1541.
More than one hundred and
twenty-five years later Father
Marquette noted the Platte river
on his trip up the Missouri. In
the beginning Of the Nineteenth
century the Lewis and Clark ex-
pedition skirted the boundaries
of the present state and in 1905,
Manuel Lisa established the
first known settlement which was
a fur trading post at Bellevue.
This was just after the Louisiana
Purchase had brought Nebraska
into United States territory.
Omaha was established as a
post of the American Fur COM
pany in 1925 and Nebraska City
the following year.
With the California gold rush
in 1849 many pioneers passed
through Nebraska and some
stopped and settled there al
though there was a law forbid
ding settlements among the In
dians. The real colonization
boom, however, started with the
passing of the Kansas Nebraska I
act in 1854, which arranged that !
these two sections should become
free or slave states at the die I:

Nebraska territory was then or
