WATCH HIS feet,
FOOTBALL SLOGAN
Just as Important as Is. Keep
Your Eye on lhs Ball

keep your eye on the ball" That
Is one OF the fundamentals OF sport.
For years the wise men OF the ath-
letie world have been shouting that
truth 10 the novice.
In baseball and football II Is most
essential 10 always follow the ball.
Failure 10 do 50 has resulted in many

"Watch his feet" Is beginning To
vie with keep your eye on the ball
for popular favor on the gridiron.
Footwork has become prize asset In
football.
Tip on Their Plays
II is no secret that many players
tin of their intentions by some foot
mannerism. II is often possible 10
sense the direction OF a play by the
way certain players shift the moment
the signal Is called.
Recently little Amherst held CO.
lumbia, coached by the great Percy
Haughton, TO tie. II was huge
surprise. Columbia had looked Tor
a rather easy game. Time after
time Amherst players broke through
and spilled many OF Haughton's choice
formations. So proficient was Am
herst In this respect that the cry was
raised that the Columbia signals In
some way had become known to the
Amherst players. The rumor spread
so rapidly that the Amherst coach
felt called upon TO make statement.
Says the Amherst Coach
Its all piffle about Amherst being
familiar with the Columbia signals.
NV players early discovered that the
Columbia team was tipping off Its
plays by the way the backfield would
shift. The forwards also kept giving
away the direction Of the play.
Knowing these facts 1t was an easy
matter for my eleven to stop most OF
the Columbia plays before they gain
ed momentum"
Faulty footwork had played havoc
with Columbia In its early efforts to
stage q football comeback. No doubt
Coach Haughton has since remedied
the defect.
During the world series 1t was my
pleasure to act as host to Major
Kavanaush, famous coach Of the
Boston College team. When he was
asked what were the prospects for
successful season, he replied:
speed Is the Watchword
excellent. | have fast team.
Perhaps it's trif1e light, but | have
a lot of dangerous steppers. In an
open field, once they get possession OF
the ball, the opposition has consider
able to worry about"
Speed is now the cry OF every foot
ball coach. The forward pass, open
play, demands it. The sluggish eleven
hasn't a chance in modern football.
In an effort to speed up their teams
develop footwork that will dazzle the
opposition, coaches often resort to ur-
usual methods.
Rockne of Notre Dame is strong
for dancing. Bill Roper of Princeton
is a firm believer in boxing. Other
coaches lean to rope skipping and SO
on down the line.
Boxing not only develops speed
but sharpens the eye to fathom
speed" is the concise way Coach Bill
Roper of Princeton puts 1t.
Watch his feet" promises to be-
come fifty-ffty proposition with

football.

WHILE POTATOES ARE RoTTINe
IN THE GROUND.

While people Of the east are paying
10 cents a pound for Idaho potatoes
growers Of these famous and delect
able tubers in southern Idaho are al
lowing them TO rot in the ground be-
cause the price is not sufficient to
cover the cost of digging them and
the freight to market. It is this sit
uation that is responsible to a great
extent for the depression in the agri-
cultural sections. The superiority of
the Idaho potato has won recognition
in the most discriminating markets of
the east and commands a price that
is almost unbelievable out here where
"spuds is spuds" at so much per hun
bred pound sack. The high rating Of
the Idaho potato in the east is indi-
Gated by the following from paper
in Grand Rapids Mich:
Grand Rapids hotels. high class
cafes. and many OF the more par
ticular consumers are paying 10
cents per pound retail for Idaho
baking stock potatoes, while a
few miles away at Greenville the
growers consider themselves lucky
to get 40 cents per hundredweight
at the shipping stations. The
fact that consumers pay at the
rate of So per bushel or $40 per
hundredweight for fancy potatoes
is one more indication that a high
class food article which has won
a reputation does not depend on
general market conditions.
Commission merchants here
say that while the demand is not
heavy, it is improving and that
they are finding it necessary to
handle more and more of the
Idaho stock which comes largely
in half-bushel boxes. Retail
prices for Michigan potatoes at
most Grand Rapids stores are 60
cents and rs cents per bnshel.
Commission men also empha-
size that while not all of the Ida
no potatoes are white the russell
varieties are of a bright color and
attractive, a big factor in devel-
Oping high class demand The
average weights are 10 to 10
ounces The potatoes are perfect
ly graded, in most cases wrapped
and come from the oven in first
class condition"

Liquid Oxygen Explosives for Mining
Compressed Air Magazine)

Nearly two years ago we reviewed
in our news columns the potentialities
of liquid oxygen explosives. At thai
time we pointed out especially what
had been done in this field by the
hard pressed Germans, who were for
some years cut off from a supply OF
Chile saltpeter, so widely used in the
manufacture of various modern high
/ explosives.
It will be recalled that the Teutons,
liquid air for blasting purposes in a
Bavarian coal mine about 1897 and to
tests of "oxyliquit" which were made
two years later during the driving of
the famous Simplon tunnel, realized
that those pioneer essays, although
abruptly halted, offered a possible
solution to one of their grave prob
lens and, therefore. they took up
again the long abandoned work and
tried to develop liquid oxygen explo-
sives for military purposes.
AS the world learned after the cess
alton of the European war, the Ger
mans achieved some success in their
quest and actually employed explo-
sives of this kind in certain iron
mines and in effecting the destruction
of the great French steel mills at
Longwy. The results attained an
swered for the moment; but the sys-
tenn of manufacture and the explo-
sives, themselves, were in a measure
crude and not to be gagged by COM
mercial standards.

this matter served to stimulate the
inventive cunning of the renowned

NEW FIRE STATION is A PRAcTl.
CAL NECESSITY.

There ought not TO be any division
of opinion on the question of bonding
the city for the purpose of erecting a
new fireproof fire station. and it is the
opinion OF this paper that there will
be little opposition recorded against
it. The present frame fire station has
been in service many years and is now
in n condition that requires quite a
large expenditure in the way of re-
pairs and even if these were made
the building would still be inadequate
TO meet the requirements of the de-
partment After giving thorough
consideration of every feature of the
question. Mayor Toole and the coun-
cilmen arrived at the unanimous con-
cusion that from every viewpoint the
city should have a new fire depart
ment building, one that would meet
the requirements for many years and
possibly for all time; that the build
ing should be freproof in order to
afford protection to the expensive fire
equipment and provide accommoda-
tons adapted to more efficient service
on the part of the firemen, including
more comfortable quarters. They
found that such a building could be
erected at a cost of s25 OOO including
an Office for the city clerk and police
magistrate, and where the council can |
meet if found desirable; also a vault |
for the safe keeping of city maps and |
records. and further to include a city |
Jail. Such a building will result in
direct saving of $3.50 a years now paid
in rent for city clerk about 5000
year on insurance of fire station and
will secure a small reduction in the
general insurance rates in the city
thus the direct cash saving to the
people of Wallace will probably be
'qual TO the interest on the bonded
lebt. This with the more efficient
ervice that will result from the i'm
proved facilities present an unan-
werable argument in favor of voting q
he bonds. The city has no bonded !
ebt, and the issuance OF the fire sta O
ion bonds will impose no noticeable
urden upon the taxpayers. T.
