Football in America

The first football players in
America were the "Oneidas," foot
ball club in Boston, the first organ
ization of its kind In this country,
and the predecessor of modern col
lege football, says an article in
Pathfinder Magazine. According
to an inscription on a monument in
that city the "Oneidas" played all
comers from 1862 to 1865, and never
tasted defeat nor had their goal
line crossed.
American colleges had their foot
ball during that period. The first
intercollegiate game was played be-
tween Princeton and Rutgers on
November 6, 1869. the latter having
26 men on the field to the formers
81. But the first real development
of the modern game came in 1906
when at a meeting of the Ameri-
can intercollegiate football rules
committee the forward pass was in
troduced.

Exhaustion of local resources in

for the decided increase of sufferers,

Director added. Counties designated

(By the Associated Press)

Civil war and internal strife were
laid aside and peace between oppos-
ing factors appeared near in China
as the League of Nations called upon
Japan and China today to withdraw
troops now in the disputed Manchur-
ian area.
While the League was acting on
Chinese appeal for intervention in
the Manchurian controversy, which
has resulted in scores of deaths from
clashes between Japanese and Chinese
troops, peace proclimations between
Chinese factions appeared near.
Chang -Kai-Shek, president of the
nationalist government, told a Nan
king mass meeting that "all internal
dissention must cease" and that the
national government is prepared for
a final and supreme struggle II the
League of Nations and Kellogg pact
signatories "fail to uphold justice"
Leaders of the insurgent govern
ment at Canton issued proclama-
ton, that peace would be made with
the national government In order
that "a united China might deal with
Japan"
At Geneva spokesmen for the two
nations were summoned by the council
Ito consider means of withdrawing
troops without danger to life and
property. The action followed Jap
anese promise that the nation would
abide by the league covenant and the
Kellogg pact.
The Japanese spokesman had de-
MED the Chinese contention that the
attack Of Japan's troops upon Chinese
soldiers had been without provoca-
ton. He said the Chinese caused the
trouble by attacking the South Man
,hurian railway, operated by Japa-
nese.
At Tokyo the government an
nounced it had approved Chinese
proposal for appointment of a Sino-
Japanese commission to consider the
controversy.
Reports of renewed military activ-
ity came from Tokyo. The Rengc
News agency received an uncon-
firmed dispatch indicating japanese
invasion of Manchuria was spread
ing and that troops had been sent tc
Harbin, island metropolis of Man
churia, in response to appeals of Jap.
anese residents there.

Hitches Over Protests From
Other States Cause
These Delays

According to word received at
the County Agents office on Sep
tembcr % indications are that
the Federal Feed Loan which has
been expected to be released in
the drought area is further from
reality at the present time than
it was two weeks ago Since the
regulations were first drafted by
the Department of Agriculture
they have been the subject of
much controversy among the diff
ferent states in which it was to
be administered
The Feed Loan regulations as they
stood on September q are as follows:
The regulations reduced the number
of cattle from forty to twenty head
at SO a month, six horses at SO a
month, two hundred sheep at 30c per
month for six month limit, notes
to be due in the fall of 1882. 1t has
been reported that Washington and
Oregon protested vigorously these
farm entirely with horses, and loan
on six head would not be sufficient
to carry them through the winter.
The second hitch in the PROPOSE
ton comes from the mortgage re-
quirement As per the regulations
requirement on September 81, the
government ag eed to accept wal
yer of prior mortgage in which the
party holding the mortgage or lien
would participate proportionaly with
the government and in that way it
would not be necessary for the
party holding the first mortgage to
waiver complete right in favor of the
government. Some of the authorities
in the states in which the loans was
to be administered contend that this
would make the loan unavoidable as
parties holding the first mortgage
arc not in position to sign waivers
under any condition. They are en-
deavorirg to have the government
take second mortgage on the live
stock to the extent of the Federal
Loan.
Up to date these details have not
been settled and indications are that
the regulations governing the Gov
ernment Feed Loan will rot be settled
for a few days. The Secretary of Ag-
riculture is calling for information
from states in regard to the number
of livestock mortgages in each coun-
ty, the attitude of the bankers in
regard to signing Waivers etc. in
/; order that the regulations may be
worked out satisfactorily. Indications
are that the Feed Loan blanks will
not be received until some time after
