new KICKOFF RULE
is NOT MADE CLEAR

The alteration in foot ball rule
s. section 3. changing the kick-of
line from the kicker's 4o-yard line
to the center OF the field in order TO
offset the disadvantage to the kicker
resulting from the elimination Of the
"tee," is going to require an inter-
pretation for 1924. and undoubtedly
the rule will be changed for 1925.
AS adopted. the new rule provides
that the kick off shall be made from
the middle of the field or any point
directly behind it," Under that
wording the kick off could be made
from the kicker's 40. so. 90 or 10
yard line. IL il seemed that an ad
vantage could he obtained that way
while no provision was made for the
side receiving the kick TO move UP
as the ball receded
OF course, it was not the intention
of the committee to permit the side
having the kick Off to take any such
advantage as this, the provision hav-
ing been introduced after considera-
BILE discussion of whether a team
should be limited to the exact center
of the field" which on a rainy day
might conceivably be a puddle.
The committee had in mind merely
the granting of permission to move
the ball back few feet.
The situation probably will be
taken care of by the issuance of in
structions from the rules committee
permitting the side receiving the
kickoff to move up to within 10
yards Of the ball.

IT seems to be the idea that Warner

around Nevers-even granting that
this coach is man who iSn not in the

replacements will fill these two holes

(Salvation Army, Butte)
A droopy passenger travelling on
through train in the West just
as winter turned to spring amused
himself for a hundred miles by
counting the number Of farm i'm
plements left deserted and uncov-
cred in the fields. at the mercy Of
sun. wind, rain and snow.
This is the record: Reapers,
SO; mowers. 81: hay rakes, As;
grain drills. 46; wagons, 40; farm
engines, II; hay balers. z; ditch
ers, 5; disk harrows. 33; road
making machines, Z; tractors, 80:
threshing outfits, 8.
These in a strip about half a
mile wide along one side of the
track. It's fair to assume that
there were as many on the other
side. That means, within 100
square miles, 758 pieces OF farm
machinery unprotected-seven and
a half to every GAO acres.
Several men on the train esti-
mated their average value at 5000
Il total of $751;, OOO-and figured
the depreciation due to a winters
exposure at 10 per cent. Figure
it for yourself. Here was loss
of $3.50 for every section OF land,
or q cents an acre.
Multiply this by the number of
acres in America devoted to agri-
culture and you'd have a sum that
would make even Andrew Mellon
jump. And no one gets anything
out OF 1t, except those who make
more machines. TO be sure, lum-.
Der to cover implements costs
money, but not so much as reap.
ers and drills.
Farmers are no more Indifferent
toward thrift than other persons,
but they have more opportunities
to be wasteful than some.
A million motorists never adjust
the carburetor. Singers break the
backs Of songbooks In order TO
have a hand free to pat the hair.
Locomotives blow off steam when
the fireman does not care. Cooks
burn enough soup bones to feed
dAClAopOuo. duCcIS leak anu we
pay by the meter. Shoes crack if
not oiled. The spare room Is
heated-no one shuts the radiator.
We throw paper into the street
and hire men to pick 1t up. Our
dinner plates go back covered with,
food and the garbage man comes
twice a week.
When the wheat farmer neglects
his machinery, everyone pays
more for bread. When the motorist
burns too much gas, We pay high
err taxi fares. When the cook does
not care. hotels charge it to the
guest. Wasted steam and wasted
food show red in every bank ac-
count. Waste is an affair of in
