EN-, and came through with a
touch down and point in the second
quarter.
The touchdown. made by Earl
Corder. was made possible by a

To The Team

Members of the football team
your school is proud of you. Out
OF eight games played in the sea
son, you have lost only one, and
that to a team hat is dreaded
throughout the Basin. The game
you tied with Greybull was a glor-
iously played game=it filled those
who saw it with pride in your
sportmanship, and the. enthusiasm
on the sidelines was greater than
in any easily won game.
1t is n hat with only one OF
two exceptions the weather was to
your advantage. There was not
any great handicap of having to
play in deep snow or mud, but
without something back of 1t, some
courage, grit and playing ability, all
of the advantages would be worth
nothing.
There has never been any criti-
cism as to how you played the
game. Every move has been clean,
clear and sportsmanlike. 1t is
wonderful to have such a record
as you do. but it is still better to
know that it has been made honor
ably.
Now that the season is opening
for a new sport, see If the record
cannot be kept as it has been SO
far. Keep up the reputation that
you have built for yourselves in
football. Remember that your
town as well as the school is back
of you.

FARMS VALUES
DE'PREC''IATE SAY
j. 5. OFFICIALS

WASHINGTON, Sept. lP)-Farm
real estate values continued to tumble
during the crop year just ended,
marking a continual depreciation dur
ing the past seven years, the departv
nent Of agriculture said today add
ing that there are plenty of farms
for sale with buyers few and cautious.
Present values are about at the
level Of 1917 values, being placed
at 119 per cent Nf the pre-war level,
while 1920 values were 169 per cent
above the pre-war figure, The decline
in the last year was not to be
wholly unexpected, according TO the
department, on account of the market
decrease during the year in the price
of certain OF our major farm pros
ducts, the sharp drop in farmers
incomes and a generally inactive farm
real estate market.
The south Atlantic states showed
the largest decline, being 1877 COM
pared with 148 in 1926 and 1913 in
1920.
Values for the United States as
a whole have gone down SO points,
from 169 in 1920 to l19 in 1927.

Three Leading Aviation
Countries Revolt At
Ocean Flights.
ODDS TOOGREAT
Will Refuse to Build Planes
For Hazardous Solo
Flights.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (P)-Strong re-
vllsion against the false Importance
being given long distance flights, espe-
cially trans oceanic, was manifested in
three leading aviation countries today
as fear for the lives of the st. Ra-
phael's crew became sad certainty.
At Buffalo, N. Y, the committee on
air laws of the American Bar as
sociation expressed hope that legisla-
ton might be enacted to halt the
mounting toll The Stinson Aircraft
corporation of Detroit declared no or
derS will be accepted hereafter for
planes intended for solo oceanic hops.
From Washington, navy hydro
Graphers called attention to the strik-
ingly adverse conditions faced by the
ST. Raphael and declared these con-
ditionS might be expected to operate
against other immediate" eastward
flights reported in prospect
Characterizing the ocean flights as
gamblers hazard" influential
being attached to them and urged that
the men, machines and money be bet
ter spent in other lines of development.
In London the government weather
bureau arrived at the same conclusion
that odds lie heavily against successful
ocean flights at this stage of aviation
Not only in the present season, the
analysis held, but for 365 days in
any year, nature opposes the attempts
with her twin weapons of fog and
wind.
Despite the long list of missing,
however, Captain F. T. Courtney was
at Plymouth, Eng, tonight, ready to
take off in his big air cruiser Whale
at dawn.
Some slight hope for the st. Raphael
and it's passengers, the Princess Low
enstein- Wertheim, Captain Hamilton
and Colonel Minchin, was revived in
the report that white light, probably
belonging to an airplane was sighted
by the Dutch steamer Blijdendijk at
sea about 280 Gniles east-southeast OF
New York
The light was travelling in an east
erly direction, however, and if it was
the ST. Raphael, the plane was far off
it's course and going in the wrong di-
rection.
Thick weather held two more planes

is reported to have joined the forces
OF the Nationalist troops in pushing
General Sun Chuan-F -Fang's northern
army back from the Yangtze, where
according to Nationalist accounts, the
general lost 10000 men in combat
during the heavy fighting Of the

General sun Chuan- -Fang's rapid
and spectacular drive to the. Yangtse
from Shantung during recent weeks,
in which he forced back the national
lists to the south of that great water
way, would appear from dispatches
received here to have collapsed COM
pletely. The northerners are said
to be retreating along the TienJsin-
Pikow railway, having reached Gnu
chow, leaving Pukow in the hands
OF the nationalists
The nationaliSts announce that the

General Sun Chuan- -F'Rng's reported
sudden retreat northward is explained
in dispatches as being mainly due
ID the fact that the HankOw forces,
previously announced as planning TO
join the Marking moderate national
lists, are said to be taking an active
part in the renewed nationalist drive.
The Hankow contingent is said to
be pushing through Arllawei province
towards Pengpu.
During the past week the heaviest
fighting has occtATed on both banks
of the YangtSe, from Nankings SO
miles downward. The ilationalists are
said to have defeated the strenuous
attempt of the hortherners to estab-
lish strongholds on the south banks

President Considers
Special Session OF
Senate on Contests

RAPID CITY, S. D., Sept Q E-
Convening OF a special session OF
the senate this fall in order to give
it an opportunity to- consider con-
tested election cases will be considered
by President Coolidge in conferences
with senate leaders upon his return
to Washington. It was stated today
at the executive offices that Mr..
Coolidge is not aware of the exact
standing of the contested cases but
he thinks it might be helpful TO
take these up ahead of the regular
meeting time in December.
Two contests involving considerable
fireworks are pending, for the seats
of Senator Smith, of Illinois, and
Senator Ware, of Pennsylvania, both
republicans. Some senate leaders have
predicted that a long time will be
required to dispose of the contests,
which were started by the campaign
funds committee headed by Senator
Reed, democrat Of Missouri. This
committee charged excessive expendl-
lures by the two senator's in their
primary campaigns.
While special session of the SEN
ate. seems likely if approved by It's
leaders, it was reiterated today that
Mr.. Coolidge has not changed his
opinion about a special meeting 'oi
congress. This opinion is understood
to be that there is no necessity to1
a session for flood relief alone.
Attention was again directed today
at the executive office to the bankers
manifesto Of a year ago which urged
removal of trade barriers in the form
OF tariffs and it was said on behalf
Of Mr. Coolidge that he thought q
recent editorial in the Saturday Eve
ming Post explained his veW-tha'
The manifesto did not refer to Amer
lea and its tariff.
Mr.. Coolidge likes particularly thf
sentence Of the editorial declaring;
1.-The suggestion that discussions or
trade barriers are directed at us ir
We same sense that they are directed
at European countries is gratuitous
and the implications do not operatt
in the direction of improvement II
international commercial relations"
This view has always been held b,
the president, namely, that the mani
festo given out in London and signet
by large number Of internationa
bankers, had reference only to thu
tariff walls standing between .Europ
can countries.
The discussion was brought III

AMERICAN BAR
ASS n. u R GES
AIR REGULATION
Would Empower Govern
ment to Regulate Inter-
Oceanic Flights

BUFFALO, N. *, Sept 2 tR-A
movement aimed at the regulation of
trans oceanic flights to prevent loss
of lives in unairWorthy planes was
launched today at the final business
meeting of the American Bar aSso-
ciation's 50th annual convention
The movement took the form of a
resolution unanimously adopted, that
pledged the associations members to
urge congress to pass legislation ex-
tending the powers of the secretary
of commerce to include regulation
Of such flights.
The resolution was introduced by
Chester W. Cuthell, New York, chair
man of the associations air law COM
mittee, general counsel of the Ma
tional Air Transport company and
the Curtiss Aeroplane company. In
an explanation of the resolution and
the air law committees report, Mr..
Cuthell said:
During the recent trans-oceanic
flights 25 lives have been lost, If all
reported missing are dead. Most OF
these flights were mot of a strictly
commercial nature, the profession
calls them stunt flights. Our COM
mercial aviation law was passed 10
regulate commercial enterprises, ana
therefore is not broad enough to give
the secretary Of commerce the right
to regulating, and in some cases
of preventing such flights"
William p. McCracken, chairman
of the bar associations air law com
mittee and of the aeronautical
bureau of the department of COM
merce, commenting on the resolution
in an interview, said the department
of commerce would be glad to assume
regulatory power, if congress saw fiji
to confer it.
But, he added "the impression
must not be taken that regulation
would prevent the loss of all life
There might be lives lost just tilt

calling of the big meeting was the
figures in the budget which indicated
that money is to be spent in great

members of the road committees felt
