DR.. Spears at Minnesota is particu-
larly strong in both the line and the
backfleld. One thing is certain to be
noted this year which last season was
lacking. defensive strength.
Will Lay for Friedman.
In 1925 the Doc had time only TO
launch his offensive ideas and the de-
fensive side of foot ball at Minneapo-
lis was pretty sketchy. SO, with
George Little at Wisconsin. both the
Badgers and the Gophers in coming
games will lay hands upon Friedman,
the fiashy Michigan captain, whereas
last year linemen of both teams
seemed to think that breaking
through was all that was required OF
them.
Illinois should be very strong. The
line which in the latter part OF the
season began to give an excellent ac-
count of itself is intact and some of
the regulars will have to fight to hold
their places against players coming
up from last years freshman outfit
and from the ranks of those who were
ineligible last year.
Has Clever Backs.
AS for the backtield. Grange, of
course. will be missed, but DouGher-
fly. who next to Grange was the best
ground gamer on the 1925 team. and
Timm, Peters and Lanun, freshmen
last year, should make a dazzling
combination Timm comes from
Idaho and Peters from Montana.
Peters is the boy who two years
ago as a member of the freshman
team of the University Of Montana
kicked II field goals in one game-a
world record
Iowa and Chicago are dark horses
in the conference, but both will have
good material. Their position is the
enviable one of having al to win
and nothing to iorc. Sta;,g maintains
his usual reticen,c, but there Is no
doubt that material falling IT, hand
will enable him to construct Il team
appreciably better than last years
Northwestern will have the heaviest
line in the conference. Moon Baker
in the backfield is due to show that
his 1924 form was nor q flash in the
pan, while Lewis at fulbaCk IS likely
to be the star of the West in his posi-
ton.
Buckeyes Are Optimistic.
Ohio State, the writer gathers from
a letter from DR.. Wilce, is counting
upon a better team than last season.
Marek, widely heralded last year. was
something of a disappointment, but
he has it in him to shine UNANIMOUSLY.
If he does. the Buckeyes, who always
know how to make full us" Of an ace,
will be dangerous for all corners.
Michigan will be about as strong
as last year if being captain does
not go to F'riedman'S head.
Indiana and Purdue are underdogs.
although Pat Page MAY work the
Hoosiers out of a bad hole.

is to raise the feet so high that they
come above the surface, and this
should be guarded against, as all lev
crage is lost when the feet leave the
water.
Last. but not least, all turning out
ward of the feet must be avoided. They
should always have little inward
twist (pigeon-toeD, for that enables
them to propel forward to best ad-
vantage, while half the applied effort
goes to waste when they point out
ward.
It deserves mention, in concluding,
that after the novitiate, when prof.
cheney has been gained, the major
scissor kicks may be widened bit. up
to 13 or IA inches, but this should not
be done in the early stages, as II
makes more difficult the acquisition of
rhythm.

The Ladies' Aid expressed graft
tude for the generous patronage at
their sale and supper last Friday
Every thing found a ready sale at
satisfactory prices, and the supper
was heartily enjoyed by all. Games
and a we'll arranged program closed
the evening exercises. A net of about
$40 was most gratifying to the
society. AT the church Sunday, Rev.
H. E. Dunnack preached two of the
ablest serm ms we ever listened to.
He expects to be with us Sunday
the 26. Surely everyone should make
an effort to attend the services.
The new Masonic hall is nearing
completion, and it is a structure to
be proud of. All, both in and with
out the order have given of their
labor to help the good work on. The
building is 30x60, 2 stories high, and
is first class in every way, and an
ornament to the village.
The State Highway crew working
on the new Sayward bridge nave
had rather hard time during the
past month. High water and WASH,
outs have rade the work slow ana
expensive. 1t looks as if they mad
winters work before them.
There will be over 200 cars OF po-
tatoes;. over 100 cars OF lumber;
thousands of crates of eggs and
non1try. besides large quantities of
other farm produce shipped from
here this year. There are about H.
600 gallons of milk shipped from
here each week. This is not all pront
as our farmers will purchase over
100 cars of grain from the stores
here. besides hundreds or tons Oh
fertilizers.

Christmas Trees For
American Homes Has
Become an Industry

Washington. Dec. 13--(Pl-Carry-
ing Yuletide cheer with their twink
ling lights, about ten million Christ
mas trees will find their way into
American homes this year. The
Christmas tree bill will be about
S5,000,000 for the growing of the
trees is now an industry.
"Cut your Christmas trees proper
ly for conservation is WISE" says
the American Tree Association. "This
when done properly means a thin
ming which the forest needs. Prop
erlv gathered for the market these
trees do not represent drain upon
our forest resources"
The Nature Association agrees with
Prof. Woodbridge MetcaIf of the
School of Forestry of the University
of California. who says:
because of the wastage and an
exaggerated notion of the influence
of Christmas tr~e cutting on the
future supplies of timber for the
nation some wei intentioned but
misguided individuals have in re-
cent years urged that tie cutting of
Christmas trees be prohibited by law
or at least frowned upon by forward
looking citizens.
1.-THE success of the movement for
forest protection depends largely on
the development of very widespread
appreciation of the forest in the
minds of the American people There
is probably no better way of insti1-
ling a love for trees in the hearts
OF tile rising generation than the use
of the little evergreen as the central
figure of the Christmas Festival

Scrap Book
Contains Story
McKinley's Death

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 13-(H)-The
stirring tale OF the assassination of
President William Mckinley and the
inauguration of President Theodore
Roosevelt is unfolded through col
lection of newspaper clippings,
photographs, records and notes
hidden in a big leather
scrap book in the stately old nome
here of Ansley Wilcox.
Mr.. Wilcox plans to turn the col
lection over some day to a museum
OF historical socity, in order that the
true story of almost every interest
ing incident of those exciting days
NAV be preserved. Some article
have been painstallingly edited by
Mr.. Wilcox, who witnessed most OF
the events described.
Have Roosevelt's Message
Few persons have seen the Ole
volume as it is seldom brought forth
from it's hiding place in the home
where Roosevelt, as Mr. WILCOX
guest, was inaugurated president,
and where he held his first cabinet
meeting
Perhaps the most valuable docu-
ment in the collection consists o.
three sheets of ordinary yellow paper
on which President Roosevelt scrlb-
bled the draft of his first proclama
ton as president on September IA.
1901.
In a. rough and jagged hand it be-
gins:
"a great and terrible bereavement
has befallen our people. The presi-
dent OF the United States has been
stricken down (here several lines
are written--then scratched QUIT. z
crime committed not only against
our chief executive, but against
every law abiding and liberty low
ing citizen of our nation"
Borrowed Hat and Coat
A short time before Roosevelt be-
gan to write this proclamation he
had taken the oath of office in the
library of the Wilcox home, in the
presence of members of the Mckinley
cabinet and a few other persons.
The yellow paper was thrown in a
waste basket, but someone thought
of salvaging it and now Mr.. Wilcox
is proud to possess it.
Other mementoes of those days in
ciude the coat that Roosevelt bor-
rowed from Mr. Wilcox for his in
auguration, which has been given to
the Buffalo Historical Society. The
hat loaned by John Scatcherd, chair
man of the executive committee of
the Pan American Exposition, Is in
the custody of the Roosevelt Mem
orial Association, in New York City.
