Whereas. on the date indicated

partial relief of those heroes who, in
time of national and of world peril.

or only 43 per cent of the states
requirements. In 1919 this produc-
ton had increased to $4,000, 900
pounds or As per cent of the state
requirement Since 1919 the pro-
duction of dairy products has in
creased very rapidly, but there is still
room for considerable expansion
along dairy manufacturer lines in
this state. Both the acreage and
yield of hay is increasing in this
state. In 1899 our hay production
per animal unit was so of ton,
while in 1919 our production of hay
per animal was 81 of ton.
''Much improvement also has been
made in the production of corn, as
is shown by the fact that from 1888
to 1892 the average yield per acre
was 1919 bushels, while from 1919 to
1928 the average yield was % bush
els per acre.
From the above figures it can be
seen that although there has been q
steady decrease in the percentage OF
people living on the farms, there has
nevertheless been steady increase
in the production of our principa
food and feed crops and in the per
centage of necessary food require
ments.
Tobacco Yields Increase
There have been similarly graft
flying increases in our so-calle6
money crops. From 1888 to 1879.
our Virginia farmers planted al
average of $4,000 acres of tobacc,
with an average yield of 571 pound
per acre. From 1919 to 1923 on
Virginia farmers planted $4,000
acres of tobacco with an averag
yield of $50 pounds per acre. Dur
ing this same period cotton increase
from 149 pounds per acre, to 1900
with an average of 254 pounds pc
acre.
These figures prove conclusivel
that during the last 80 years, Their

farmers at the present time are be-

COURSES FOR
COUNTY TEACHERS
DIR. Wayland Present At Meeting
Fifteen Have Enrolled

Fifteen Shenandoah County teach
ers met at Superintendent Shoemak-
er's office last Saturday morning, Dc
tober "a, to enroll for the extension
courses that are being offered by the
State Teachers College at Harrison
burg. DR.. John W. Wayland, repre-
@senting the college, was on hand and
met with the teachers present. In
view of the inclemency of the wealth
er, the attendance was considered
very encouraging.
II there is sufficient demand for
the work, the college will give two
courses at Woodstock, the classes
meeting on Saturdays so as to ac-
commodate teachers in service. The
fee is only nominal-the work be-
ing conditioned mainly on a suffi-
cient demand for it. Unless as many
as twelve or fifteen teachers desire
the same course, it will not be feas-
ible to organize the class. The
cOdAoCS mat oCClu6Q ulOSI III demand
were American History and Recent
Tendencies in Elementary Education.
Others that received a considerable
number of votes were Recent Tendon
cies in Secondary Education, Nature
Science in the Elementary School
and Recent Tendencies in Teaching
Arithmetic
1t was stated that other teachers
not present in Woodstock on Satur-
day want this extension work. but
were probably kept away by the in
clement weather. All such should
at once notify the State Teachers
College of their wishes, indicating
in each case the courses of study
thy prefer. Such communications
should be sent to President S. P.
Duke within the next few days, for
1t is most desirable to get the work
organized and the classes going at
the earliest possible date.

Elm City Gridmen
Hang Up Toys for
End of 1925 Season

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Nov. 16-With a VIC
tory over their age-old rivals tucked
under their belts, the gridders of
Waterville high school have brought
down the curtain on one of the most
successful football seasons that the
local school has enjoyed for some
years. There have been rumors OF
more games in the future but au-
thorities at the school put the quiet
lis on these yesterday. A challenge
was extended the fast Lewiston high
aggregation by Principal Mathews of
the school for game in the near
future. Yesterday reply from
was received, which said that his
players had been through a long
hard season and they did not feel
that they could arrange any more
games. The letter also stated that
no such thing as a high school
championship existed and Lewiston
was not claiming it.
The local team has set forth div
ers and sundry reasons why they
should be termed the champions OF
Maine high school gridirons this
year and because there are no teams
to accept their def for a game some
time this month it Is felt that they
can put aside their football toys a
bit nearer the championship than
any other team. Every high school
team that Coach Millett's men have
met this year has been beaten and
the Waterville players boast a goal
line that has not been crossed by
any high school.

ed the convention yesterday and
came out with practically everything
they had requested.
The National senior outdoor
championships in track and field will
be held at the Centennial Stadium
the last week in June and just priot
to that the Junior honors in the state
events will be decided.
Rounding off this stellar event is
the national junior outdoor swim
ming championships for both meh
and women, the junior cross country
championships and the junior boxing
championships. Representatives OF
the largest railroads in the country
conferred with President Murra Y
Hurlburt and agreed to form a ma
tional organization to include the
athletic associations of the railroad.
A meeting will be held similar to
that of the A. A. U. and will be I'M
der the jurisdiction of the amateur
hodv. The association selected Phil
adelphia as the place for the frs
track and field meet. 1t, too, will be
held In connection with the exposl-
ton.
The National marathon will be ir,
Boston, as will also the national
senior boxing championships.

ST, Jeans HOCKEY
TEAM SIGNING UP
FAST PERFORMERS

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Nov. 16.-With the
weather getting cold enough to form
a little crust of ice around the ponds
in this vicinity the management of
the st. Jeans hockey club is already
making plans for an extensive cam
paign on the ice this winter. The
local club will start their training
session at an early date.
Waterville was represented by one
of the fastest sextettes in this part
of New England last year and they
plan to have an even faster COM
bination of ice birds this season. At
least four and possibly five new faces
will be seen on the local team this
year and these performers will be
backed by a capable reserve force
of promising recruits from this city.
Every man in town who feels that
he has chance to make the team
is requested to send in his name to
Manager LaVerdiere before Friday
night.
The club is also planning to put
a junior team on the ice and there
should be enough material in the
city to form a classy organization.
Men who plan to try out for a posi-
ton with this team are also re-
quested to notify the manager.
The schedule is now being ar
ranged and the st. Jeans outfit is
anxious to arrange games with any
fast team in New England and il
by chance any serious contenders
for the New England title have been
overlooked they can arrange games
by communicating with Manager La
Verdiere.
Negotiations are under way to ar
range seven game series with the
clever st. Doms of Lewiston for state
honors. These teams waged an in
teresting series last year and al
though the locals carried off the
honors set of games between these
two teams should draw the crowds
this year.
The locals will do their stuff In
the Community rink. The Commun.
ity rink is large, windproof affair
and has a seating capacity of 1000
in the bleachers, If the present wear
is a success financially it Is planned

Well Balanced Bunch of Bates Harriers Cop n E. College Ii
A. A. A. U. Accepts
200 Records and
FrOWns on Total Sc

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 16-(AP)-
The American Amateur Athletic
Union, in annual session here. late
today approved 200 records and turn
ed down Sc. Some Of these rejected
were because Of the presence OF bet
ter performances in the event In
which they were recorded. Others
for lack of sufficient proof. The
great Paavo Nurmi and Willie Ritola
were denied certain honors because
the distances involved were not re-
cognized by the A. A. u.
Nurmis mark of 10 minutes and 81
seconds for 10000 yards was thrown
out because of the trick distance.
Ritola's mark of Is minutes, 81 sec
onds for ) IA miles went into the
discard for the same reason.
During the session GustaVus u.
Kirby. president of the |. c. A. A. A.
and l. n. Goldsmith, chairman OF the
records committee, engaged in
heated battle of words over the re-
fusal of the committee to ratify the
indoor broad jump record of William
A. Bowling OF Georgetown Univer-
sity, made at New York, February II.
That the veracity of the mark OF
90 feet Is inches made at meet IN
which Kirby was the referee should
be questioned aroused the ire OF the
latter. He insisted that everything
was correct. The committee head
said that member of the board was
present and reported that the pit was
three inches lower than the take-off.
When informed that the commit
teeman in question was Lawson
Robertson, Kirby asked the commit
too 10 WAGON cider itc decision
Robertson reported that he inform
ed the officials on the night of the
meet that the equipment was i'm
proper. President Murray Hubert,
of the A. A. u. interviewed and had
the previous vote of the committee
not to accept the record withdrawn
and then requested that the commit
tee investigate further. The mater
was referred back to the committee.
The 220 yard hurdle record of
Charles r. Brookins of the Univer-
sity of Iowa made in May, 1924. and
which was referred to the committee
for further investigation last year
was today approver. Brookins' time
was % seconds.
Jackson V. Scho1z of the New York
A. c. is the holder of the 100 yard
dash record with a mark of $40
seconds, made at Greensboro, n. c.,
last May.
Joie Ray remains in the record
books, being linked with Nurmi in
possession of the mark 412 for one
mile.
Swimming records for both men
and women drew little protest. Agnes
Geraghty is the possessor of all but
four of the breast stroke marks:
John Weismuller. Arne Borge and
Walter Specie divided honors among
the men natators.

PORTLAND BOXER
HANDS WHIPPING
TO KID CHUbbUCk
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Skowhegan, Nov. 1.-THE second
of the series of boxing matches
staged tonight by Promoter Harrison
of Skowhegan was witnessed by
nearly 800 fans. These matches are
becoming very popular, made more SO
by the refereeing of Bill Potter oil
Newport, who keeps the men In &C
ton all the time.
The main bout was a grudge affair
between Kid Gallant of Portland
Oldtown and various other places
and K. o. Chudbuck of Skowhegan
The first round was a tame AFFAIR
with each man sizing up his OPP
ponent, and in the meantime DONG
the Charlestown. The second round
started the fireworks with Gallant
going after Chudbuck from the bell
In the first minute the local man
went down for the count OF nine bu,
came up fighting. Gallant dropped
him again for the count of eight, the
bell saving knockout.
Chudbuck's seconds worked fran
tically to get their man in shape and
he came up with the bell swapping
punches. Gallant was too good, how
ever, and dropped his man for the
count out in the first minute.
The preliminary between Shorty
Furbush of Newport and Dostie
Richards of Dexter was good. Fur
bush looks like a conner and fights
standing. Both men were willing but
Furbush was the most aggressive
Neither man seemed TO possess q
sleep punch and the damage was
slight. Furbush easily won the fight
on points.
The semi final between Kid Pet
ers of Skowhegan and Kid Yuck OF
Bangor was one of the best seen
here for some time. Yuck could not
seem to get away from a straight
left to the chin but there was not
steam enough behind 1t to do any
damage. In the fifth the man with
the Chinese name commenced to
open up a little and in the sixth and
last round caught Peters dandy in
the mouth, that started the blood
flowing a stream. This angered the
local man and the balance of the
round was a stand up smuggling match
that had Yuck groggy at the bell
Peters had every round by good
margin.
