the indications are that better yields
will result in the present year.
characteristics Of Birds
Each week the subjoined table will
set forth such superficial character
istics as indicate productiveness of
each individual in certain pens. The
characteristics indicating productive
ness are:
1. Color of face, comb and wattles.
2. Length of body.
8. Condition of feathers.
4. Condition of pelvic bones
5. Distance between pelvic bones.
6 Distance between pelvic bones
and end of keel.
These characteristics will be num-
bered, respectively, from l to in the
table. When the expression "2F" ap-
pears, it means that two fingers can
be placed between the edges of the
pelvic or laying bones as they appear
thru slight pressure made by the fin
gers. Thin or thick pelvic bones are
recognizable as indicative of high or
low capacity, coupled with the dis
tance between the pelvic bones and
the end of the keel, or breast bone,
which is also expressed "SF" or
"4BF," etc.

They find it easy to drive, economical to run,

In the vast amplitude of Dodge Brothers closed

studious precision that marks the work OF the
finest custom builders.
Eighteen days are devoted alone to the 18 rub

sble for the unusual brilliancy of its lustre.
Months of seasoning precede the use of the fine,
critically selected ash which gives the body its

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 20.-Plans for
h formation of a new athletic inter-
collegiate conference were to be dis
cussed by representatives of ninc col
leges Of the middle west and north
west at a. meeting here today. 1t is
proposed to call the new organization
the big nine" conference, designed
along the lines Of the big ten
Invitations to have Representatives
attend the meeting, which was called
by G. A. West, director oE athletics
at South Dakota state college, Brook

institutions: Marquette university,

Questions pertaining to the fresh

REPRESENTATIVES. WESTERN
SCHOOLS MEET IN CONFERENCE
TODAY TO DISCUSS new ASSN,
summer to defray his college ex-
penseS-

penses
James O. Murfin, a regent in the
University of Michigan. says that pro-
fessional baseball or football should
not be a deciding factor in establish
ing a mans eligibility to a college
team, and that he would rather a son
of his played professional baseball to
defray his expenses at college than to
teach dancing.
North Dakota Clean.
The faculty Of the University of
North Dakota have never inquired
into an athletes record to find out
whether or not he ever played pro-
fessional baseball before he was al
lowed TO participate in intercollegiate
college. games. That has always been
permitted and vas permitted by the
old Trf-state conference. 1t would be
hard, indeed. to find an institution
with a cleaner athletic record than
the F1ickertail school.
There is. Of course, a doubtful ee-
ment in the proposed Big Nine con-
ference inc that is whether it will so
through or not. but in all probability
some sort of an organization will be
effected. 1t seems to be a pretty big
circuit for the North Dakota schools
to get into, but on the other hand. it
might be just the thing that is needed.
Outside of football, North Dakota
could compete on even terms with
any of the proposed members, but
when it comes to battling on the
gridiron with the Michigan Aggies,
the Tlickertail school is outciassed.

SKI TOURNEY
TO BE HELD
ON WEDNESDAY
Fordville Club Working In
Conjunction With
Locals
Professional Is Expected To
Thrill Crowd By
Stunts

The tournament of ski jumpers
from over this section Of the
country which will take place at
Lincoln park of this city, will be
held on the afternoon Of Wash
ington's birthday, February %.
Ihls announcement was made
Saturday by the committee of the
Grand Forks Ski club in charge
OF the affair. The tournament is
being staged in conjunction with
the Fordville club and plans are
being made in that little city to
move over to Grand Forks in the
afternoon Of the 22nd. Arrange
mcnts are now under way to hold
a banquet that evening, tickets
for which : being sold.
There will be at least two
events, one for Class A jumpers
and one of Class B, for which six
prizes will be given. I. is possible
that still another event will be
added which will take in the jun
iors. This depends or: the sue
ccss of the committee III securing
the prizes.
Fordville to Raise Money
The Fordville club is behind
the proposition heart and soul
and is planning a dance which
will be given this week, the pro-
ceeds of which will be turned
over to the committee here to
help finance the tournament.
1t is probable that there will be at
least one professional jumper to en-
tertain the GROVE on the afternoon of
the tournament. There are several
now in Canada who are returning by
the way Of Grand Forks within a
short time. Among them is Barney
Riley, the great professional who has
thrilled crowds by his daring stunts
IN every part of the country. 1t is
n aim Of the committee to secure
him for the 22nd if possible.
NA~h ALAhU
From a survey of the situation the
committee believes that the number
of entries will exceed any ski tourna-
ment ever held here. Winnipeg will
be represented, and in all probability,
John Benjamin, winner Of the first
place in Glass A at the Winnipeg tour
nament, will take part. Fargo and
Minot will have jumpers in the con-
test and several scattered entries from
over in Minnesota will be received.
Fordville and Mekinock will have
good-sized representations and some
stiff competition from their direction
is looked for. The Fordville club will
be headed by M. Bergh. winner of the
Class B trophy at Winnipeg.
Thompson and Reynolds Coming
Thompson Inc Reynolds will also
have delegations. which together with
the Grand Forks participants, will
furnish q long list of jumpers.
Skiing in Grand Forks has under
gone a big change since the building
of h slide seven years ago. Every
man who belonged to the club at that
time a a native of Norway or of
Sweden. At the present time there are
about fifty jumpers who take the
slide from the top, and Henry Holt is
the only original Norsk among them.
The sport is gaining in popularity
every year as the younger generation
takes it up and there are several
Grand Forks boys who are now max
ing excellent marks at the Lincoln
Park slide.
