THE LUMBER JACKS
FAVORITE DIVERSION

They're at it again." dryly re-
marked w. T. Cox, Minnesota state
forester, one day last week, as his
attention was called to a recent news
paper story telling of two Superior
men who were chased for miles by
a pack of wolves.

in their district. They spin the same
yarns year after year, at about this

alive by the last member of the
pack, after all the rest have been
killed and sometimes he staggers
across some friendly threshold just
as the savage jaws snap at his mack
NAV. Still there is no case on re-
cord, SO far as l know, where wolves
have actually killed and eaten a hu-
man being.
Mr.. Cox is near an authority on
the subject for he has tramped, rid

gather up the hops. To them add
ten gallons of tan bark, half a pint
or shellac and n bar of home made

RAPID INCREASE
In CORN And HOGS
(By D. B. Noble)

With the increased acreage of corn
this last year and the large amount
of feed on hand, it is estimated that
the hog production VII increase five
times this year in Roosevelt county.
Never before in the history of the
county were so many brood sows
held over as this year. Many farm
ers + figuring on making the best
use of their roughage, and convert
ing it into cash and at the same time
prepare a perfect seed bed for a
wheat crop another year.
Another fortunate thing in the hog
production in the county IS that a
large per cent of the breeding stock
on hand is of a very high quality,
thus securing the best results that
can be obtained on a hog market.
Another advance in the hog in
dustry is the fact that farmers this
year are going to have but little loss
by hairless pige for they are using
iodine treatment, which is a sure
preventive for the disease. All com
munity committeeman have definite
information on the iodine treatment.
Market Conditions
The market, according to a study
Of prices, for the last fifty years runs
in five and six year cycles on a com
parative high and low scale and it
is expected from study of these IN
ditions, that there will not be any
Improvement in prices. The biggest
in the Montana hog growers
favor is the freight rate, which is
less OF a western market and the de-
mand good, and the competition of
our cheap land against high eastern
and are both in favor OF our farm
ers. It will be the mar that can pro-
luce hogs the cheapest from a labor
standpoint and utilize cheap feed to
he best advantage, that will make
he best in the hog game.
Steps are being taken already to
ret the shipping association in shape
o handle the market end Of the hog
same in the most efficient manner,
md it is hoped by next fall 1t VII lie
bile to put Roose?.ly county hogs
n. the highest mar,,t.
With the addition Of two corn and

ion schools to be held IN Roosevelt

Bricks Have Varied
Uses Even to Grid
PLAYER

It is now getting so that it is
practically impossible to keep
any secrets about the Harvard
system. It has come to light
that during the Yale game at
the bowl last fall, when the
afternoon was cold and windy,
the Harvard coaches fortified
the substitutes against frozen
fingers by giving them all hot
bricks, which were hidden under
their blankets.
When a substitute was sent
into the game his hands were
warm and danger Of making a
tumble was rninimized.
In adopting this method Of
keeping the hands warm the
Crimson coaches, Intentionally
or unknowingly, placed the Yale
team in grave danger.
Think of what might, have
happened # the Harvard PLAY
ers lost their heads and started
to throw the bricks.

Requirements Many
For Successful
Cheer Leader

It is almost as difficult to be-
come cheer leader at college
now as it is a football player.
The competition is close and the
requirements severe. All that
student has to be to make the
cheer leaders squad is q good
orator, a fine singer, an accom-
plished acrobat, q graceful
dancer, and besides that one has
to have the looks.
Up at Cornell there were
forty on the cheer leaders
squad, and the coaches have
now cut it down to a dozen.
These twelve will continue the
competition all winter, and next
spring the four lucky ones will
be chosen.
A successful cheer leader
probably gets more real exer-
else during his sojonrn in coll
lege than any athlete in the in,
stitution.

The pair practically were match

however, that Greb. who now is

West Virginia Basketball Team
Composed of Real
Giants.

! The single bid for attention, by
Keyser, W. Va.--the Keyser Col
iegian basketball five-has arrived
in Washington for q game with the
| Yankees at the Coliseum tonight.
The visitors had a chance, to play
yesterday in Baltimore, but their
wholesome respect for the ability Of
the locals caused them to disregard
this for an opportunity to rest up
before the game.
Those Yankees. by the way. have
been putting id some extra prac-
tee ticks in preparation for tonight's
game. Regardless Of their I;olru.,
tion, the size of the Collegiana
make any outfit put forth its best
at all times
Keyser's two regular forwards are
slightly under six feet In height.
Every other man on the squad is
away, over the six-foot mark, Hoyt
scaling q Horse Haggerty, six
feet four inches Parrish is but q
half inch under that height. These
two are centers. The two regular
guards, Schafer and Montgomery,
are each young giants.
The comparative shortness OF Slo-
cum and Gibson, the two regular
basket men, is more than compen-
stated by their speed, agility, and
ability. Each is sure shot from
any angle and any distance.
This outfit near the close of last
season handed the Yankees the
worst trimming they ever had, wal
doping them 55 to IL, and sthe Yam
KEGS have not forgotten it. They in
tend to more than make amends
tonight. Two good preliminary en-
gagements are being carded to
round out the first triple.header

The break in the relations be-
tween the manager and boxer came
at Tunney's instance and is with
out Ill feeling, it is supposed. Tun-
ney did not believe that his man.
ager was going about in the right
way to keep him busy in the ring
or to pave the way for another
championship match.
Tunney wanted a match with
Floyd Johnson, and the break is
considered an outcome of Bagley's
failure to get Tunney as Johnson's
opponent instead of Tom Gibbons.
Tunney will manage his own af-
fairs from now on. He will go
through with the two fights that
Bagley had arranged for him with.
in the next fortnight.
One IL with Jack RenauIt mt
