GEORGIA BULLDOGS
NOW HARD AT WORK
Athens Eleven to Play First
Game With Mercer on SAM
ford Field September 20

ATHENS, Sept. 19.-With the
arrival here of Coach Frank
Thomas, former Notre Dame star,
the University of Georgia Bulldogs
now are hard at work, under the
instruction of a complete coaching
staff, preparing for a strenuous
season.
The first game this fall will be
played naie with Mercer University
as the opponent on September %.
Then comes Oglethorpe on Octo-
Der 6 and on the following Sat
urday, the big game of the season
on Georgia's schedule will be play
ed in New Haven with Yale.
Scrimmages are the order Of the
day this week and individual play
ers are being fitted into places. De-
spite the fact, Big John Fletcher,
last years All-Southern full-back,
has been shifted to wing position,
observers are not expecting him to
remain there. Special plans are
believed to DC the reason, the
coaches are working him in the po-
sition. When a player rams his
way to an AL Southern position,
the fans contend. he is not liable
to be switched iron that place the
very nCyt year.
Head Coach Woodruff, with
Thomas, is giving special attention
to the backfield men, while Siege
man is working with the line, in
which Jazz Carroll, ineligible last
year, is making a spectacular fight
for center or another place in the
outer defenses.
Bachman is in charge of the
freshman team and is being assist
ed by Coach White, of the base
ball team. This staff of experts is
holding the Confidence of fans and
close followers Of the Georgia
elG@'n md is expected 70 turn out
one of the strongest teams in the
history of the institution. A fair
return of last years stars and an
excellent array of promising ma
terial are giving the gridiron men.

How long has it been since a
champion has repeated in the ma
tional open of the United States?
j. J. McDermott was the last
player to win the United States
open twice III succession. McDer-
mott tied for fist place in 1910
with Aleck Smith and Macdonald
Smith with a score of 298. In the
playoff Smith captured the title
with a II, to rs for McDermott
and II for Smith. In 1911 McDer-
mott again finished in a triple tie
with Mike Brady and George Simp-
son with a score of 307. This time
McDermott won the championship
playoff with an 80, to 80 for
Brady and sc for Simpson. In
1912 he repeated, winning the title
with a scoce of 294. Tom Nc
Namara was second with 296. This
achievement on the part of Nc
Dermott is one of the biggest
things in golf.
What l. the difference in de-
Gliding q tie in the national oran
and tha natlchal amateur,
In the national open when two
or more players are tied for first
honors they play 10 holes, the
player turning in the lowest score
being declared champion. In anna
teur play if it is all even at the
finish the players continue to
play extra holes until one of the
players gains on advantage.
In medal Iiay, on reaching the
green, A finds that his ball is a
trifle farther from the cup than
BIS. The position of BIS ball is
such that he feels that it will han
dicap his next shot. Has A, who
must play first, the right to ask
B to lift his ball?
A has a perfect right TO ask B.
who is nearer the hole, to lift his
pdI Whlle A is playing his next
shot. If B prefers to play his shot
after being requested to lift his
ball, he is within his rights.
Is it permissible to have your
caddie stand at the hole to mark
your line of putt, the condition o.
the green making you feel that it
will be easier to play your next
shot by having the line of putt def
initely marked? Is there penalty
if the ball strikes your caddie, who
is standing at the hole?
A player has a right to have his
caddie stand at the hole to mark
the line of putt. In match plav
if the person at the hole is struck
by the ball, the player loses the
hole, while in medal play he is
penalized two strokes.

SWEDISH HARD TIMES
SENDS IMMIGRANTS HERE

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 19.-The
influence of hard times on Swedish
emigration to the United States is
illustrated by recent reports from
Swedish iron and steel works, and
from L. W. Fagerlund, governor
of the Aaland islands.
The recent labor conflict caused
a number of workers to leave their
homes for America, attracted by
the reports of industrial prosper
ity in that country. 1t appears
that most Of these aemigrants were
skilled workers.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 19-Con-
gresham John Philip Hill, of Marv-
land, is busy making home brew
And when it's ready. he plans to
give Congress- a drink. For he's po-
ing to fill a few jug1 and blow tha
House.
Members of the judiciary commit
tee will be the first invited to taste
the stuff. If there's anything left
other congressman may get a
chance. And there will probably be
a real kick to the homemade wine
out of Congressman Hills cellar.
The Volstead act? Congressman
Hill isn't bothering his head much
about laws. He's more interested in
recipes for mixing grape juice, sugar
and water.
All is in state of ferment-most
of it in crooks and jars in the cellar
of Hills old Colonial home. Just
what the outcoma will be no one is
quite certain.
But most everybody il hopeful
everybody except the federal collect
Ors of internal revenue and the fed
eral prohibition director of the state.
They say they aren't concerned yet.
But Washington officials are watch
ing Hills work with interest.
It's the congressman's purpose to
test the conflicting dry regulations
on making wine at home He wants
to find out how alcoholic a house
holder can allow his grape juice to
become before Uncle Sam steps in
and arrests him.
Does this lawmaker expect to be-
come a lawbreaker?
81 don't know" he says, "but I'll
soon find out"
When the fermentation is over.
Hill expects to let the judiciary com
mittee of the House sip his wine, to
help them decide on a uniform reg
ulation covering home brew.
There are AZ crooks and huge
Ali Baba jar in Hills experiment.
Half of the crooks contain no sugar.

WATER BILLS
T0B'E MAILED
BY CITY SOON
Consumers in the City Will
Get Bills For First Time
After Jan. l
SURCHARGE WILL GO
IS Per Cent Increase Given
Water Supply Company
Will be Ended by Body

Citizens OF Bismarck, within a few
days, will have a new experience
receiving bills from the city for their
wat er.
Meters are being read and shortly
after the first Of the year the bills
will be sent to consumers.
The first months bills, dating
from December l, will contain a re-
ductiOn Of 35 percent, it appeared
certain today after informal confer
ences among the members of the city
commission. The matter was to be
definitely decided either during the
afternoon or at the regular meeting
of the commission tonight.
1t appeared after investigation,
that the city could not we'll charge
the 35 percent increase, which was
allowed the Bismarck Water Supply
Company by the federal court as a
surcharge, without making it in the
form Of the rate. There has been
some discussion of the advisability
month of December, so that the city
would gain cash reserve to be us
ed in the operation of the plant.
There has been agreement among the
commissioners, however, for the dis
+, continuance of the surcharge after
January 1, if not for the first month.
| What the future rates Of the water
department of the city may be will
be determined by the experience of
the next few months. 1t is the plan
of the commission, it is understood,
to have prompt reports upon the
finances of the water department, so
! that the commission and the people
may know at all times how the de.
! partment is getting along financially.
+! 1T is expected by the commission
ers that Il big increase in the con-
sumption Of water will be made pos
sible next summer, after completion
of the filtration plant and the sys-
tenn of mains by the addition Of SER
vices. 1t is the intention of the
J commission to provide special gar
den or lawn rate, if feasible, and
thus increase the consumption of wa
! ter.
! A. J. Arnot, treasurer of the wa
| ter works department, has issued a
/ notice to consumers asking that all
delinquent consumers of the Bis
marck Water Supply Company pay
their bills promptly. A list of the
delinquent users has been turned
over to the city department, accord
ing to the agreement for transfer
and it will be necessary for the city
to make collections.

That's a good joke
The girls accuse the young bache-
lors of being tightwads and declare
the organization is composed of men
no one of whom is willing to spend
10 cents to take a girl out.

Further observations disclose a
large number of sheep and other
stock, silos and consequent acreages
devoted to production of corn, alfalfa
sweet clover for seed only, which has
amplified the farm income materially
at a handsome profit. Wheat is the
least talked of crop in this section
of Kidder county, according to Mr..
Owens.
"The conditions in this area show
a decided Improvement over those
portions committed to grain as a
major income source" said Mr..
Owens. Shortly a tabulation will
be had showing cash returns for the
