STAR ELEVEN.

The custom of selecting all-star
teams in various phases of athletics
which has obtained among white
colleges in beginning to find way
with the Colored athletic promoters
and followers. It is just in very
recent years that sufficient interest
prevailed among Colored people to
warrant the maintenance of an as
ISOLATION of any sort. But now that
there is an interest it is appropri-
ate that some such custom as has
pevailed among the whitesc in nam
ing and publishing all-star terms
should be adopted among Colored
people. In keeping with this idea,
therefore, l am submitting herewith
a team, which has been selected
after careful consideration of all
this years participants in the sport

Lineup.
Ends-Owens, Prairie View;
Hines, Wiley.
Tackles-Morgan, Paul Quinn,
Pollard, Prairie View.
Guards-McFarlan Wiley;
Green, Paul Quinn.
Center-Dillon, Prairie View,
Half Backs-Carroll, Prairie View
Shepherd, Paul Quinn.
Quarter Back-Western, Wiley.
Full Back-Sedberry Paul Quinn.
When it comes to getting down
the field on punts, stopping your
man and being generally in the play,
Owens and Hines, as far as we have
been able to see have measured up
to the fullest requirements as ends
both on the offensive and defensive.
Their ends could not be turned.
Tackles have great responsible
ity imposed upon them and really
have more to look after in taking
care of the man with the ball than
any other position But Morgan
and Pollard were ever present to
an account of the man with the
bill They tackled with a vehe-
nance that struck terror in the
hearts of their opponents and had
the effect of discouraging the man
whose business it was to carry the
pig skin.
McFarlan and Green appeared as
impregnable as a stone wall. There
was no opening where they stood
at any time; and whenever the play
followed them, 1t simply meant a
gain They were as methodical in
their work as a machine, never
failing to perform just what was
expected of them. They certainly
did guard duty.
Dillon, Prairie Views centre,
easily stood pre- eminent over other
contenders for this position both
bets because of his experience and
because of his remarkable execu-
ton of the responsibility developing
up one in that position.
Half backs are men who can take
a direct drive into the line with a
determination that spells progress
without regard to the opposition;
and in the fulfilling of these re-
quirements, you could not find two
half backs that perform these du-
ties more satisfactorily than Car
roll of Prairie View and Shepherd
of Paul Quinn. Both these men
are hard in every sense of the word.
But with all this, it takes gen
eralship. No matter how smart the
individual units, there must be some
One Governing that can so co-ordi-
nate, and control those units as to
make of them a perfect whole. No
body who watched Western, Wi

eral.

NEW PEST DESTROYS WHEAT
Men Of Science Called to Combat the
Fearsome Creature Known 40
Trogoderma khapra.

Beware of the fearsOme TrOgOderma
dent.
This creature, with the name Of an
oriental villain, is a new insect pest
which has already worked amazing
havoc among stores of wheat and malt.
First discovered in 1917 by Mr.. G. T.
Arrow, Of the chronological depart
mcnt Of the British museum, it is now
reproducing it's species so rapidly that
1t has become a pest Of serious eco
monte Importance.
m. m. in length, the trOgoderlna
khapra eats itself into the heart of
the wheat and malt grain, leaving moth
ing hut the husk.
Many recent cases are reported in
which hundreds of quarters of grain
have been eaten by the vermin, and its
depredations are causing great anxl-
ETY..
A remarkable example furnished by
the board Of applied pestology in
wolves a shipment of malt. A number
OF sacks, containing the malt, were
stacked on the dockside awaiting
transference. A burly workman, en-
ployed on the job, was about to move
cwt. sack and summoned all his
strength for the exertion. He gave a
tremendous tug-and then to his
amazement found that his pull met
with no resistance from the sack. 1t
was as light as air.
This destructive creature is one of
the pests against which the newly
formed board of applied pestology Is
directing its scientific energies.-Mont-

Would Cut the Legislature.

Jefferson City, July S.-A big re-
duction in the size of the state legis-
lature is advocated by several dele
gates in the constitutional conven-
ton. The question probably will be
considered on the floor of the con-
vention next week when Frank H.
Farris presents the report Of the
committee on legislation. The move
to reduce the size OF the legislature
will be in the form of amendments
to the committee report, it was said
today.
The house OF representatives, as
increased by the last redistricting
law, has $50 members and the sem
ate thirty-four members. Those
favoring a reduction probably will
ask thirty-five members for the
house and seventeen members of the
senate.
Each OF the III counties now has
a representative. Under the plan to
decrease the number of legislators,
one representative probably would be
allowed to groups of counties having
small population. The state sena-
torial districts would be made to
coincide particularly with the present
congressional districts.

Sandwiches spread with gold pieces

his son on his marriage. Such we'd

enough when the Douglas ehiefs ruled

there was little actual money. The
ancestor Of Lord Morton was second
chief Of the Douglas clan, and the
greatness Of this family began with
the acquisition Of wide lands In the
Fourteenth century. eliminating in the
fourth earl, the great Regent OF Scot
