LIGHT SIGNAL DRILL
PRESCRIBED FOR BISON


Fargo, N. D.. Oct. 18.-(P-Things
day compared to what they will be
Saturday when the University of
North Dakota and the North Dakota
Agricultural College football teams
line up here to renew gridiron rivalry
in the seth meeting between the two
schools.
A light signal drill was given the
squad. and then most of the atten-
ton was given the reserves, who were
shown the double wingbacx formations
of the Nodaks. The reserves will en-
ploy the double wingback methods in
practice this week in an attempt to
permit an effective defense to be pre-
pared for them.
New plays, the nature of which are
secret. also were given the squad, and
these will be featured in practice ses-
sions. All workouts for the Bison this
week will be behind closed gates.
Casey Finnegan, Bison head coach,
looks with more optimism towart Sat-
urday's game than in any OF the three
previous encounters for which he has
prepared his charges for Nodak at
tack.
Hanson has been handicapped by
broken finger this season, but it is ex-
pected that he will be able to take
his part in the passing games this
weekend. He was especially effective
in the throwing end of short forwards
into the flat while on the run in his
freshman year. He also is good eff
fective on either end of laterals and
can receive forward passes.
The Bison came through their
winning success over Oklahoma City
university here Friday with nothing
more serious than few bruises, and
Finnegan looks for squad unham-
pered by injuries to carry the Bison
burden Saturday.

Lafayette, Ind.-To Lafayette be-
longs the distinction of having dis
patched the first mail by air, first in
all the world.
The epochal events occurred 73
years ago-the exact date being Au-
gust IT, 1859.
This interesting fact was disclosed
here recently by Erick Hildesheim of
S217 Blackstone avenue, Chicago, who
came to this country from Denmark
recently to write history of air mail,
and who obtained the story of the first
air mail from the archives in the con-
gressiOnal library in Washington.
John Wise, best-known American
balloonist of his day, was the original
air mail carrier. Thomas Wood was
postmaster in Lafayette in 1859 when
Wise came here for balloon exhibit
tion.
Wise conceived the idea of carrying
mail by balloon and endeavored to in
terest capital in an improved mail
service founded on the idea of bal
looming the mail from the west coast
to the Atlantic seaboard and from
there across the Atlantic ocean by the
same means.

A STORY FOR BEDTIME
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

DETER RABBIT was both happy
1 and unhappy. That is a funny
way to be. isn't it? But it was true.
He was happy because he was trying
to satisfy his curiosity. He is always
happy when he is trying to do this.
And he was unhappy because he didn't
know how to 20 about it. You see
he was trying to find the home of Rat
ties the Kingfisher and he didn't know
just where to look for it. He knew
very little about Rattles. who lives
very much by himself and has little
to do with the rest of the Quaddies.
Peter had been told that Rattles
makes his home in a hole in the
ground. AT first he didn't believe it.
The idea of bird living in the
ground! But when Grandfather Frog
said it was true Peter had to believe
it because he has the greatest respect
for what Grandfather Frog says. What
Grandfather Frog doesn't know about
his neighbors is hardly worth know
ing, for he is very old and accounted
very wise.
He had told Peter that he didn't
know just where the home of Rattles
was, because it was none of his bust
ness, and that if he had known he
wouldn't have told Peter, because it
was none of Peters business. This
was quite true, but l suspect that it
made Peter all the more anxious to
find that home. Peter is always inter-
ested in the affairs of other folks.
He just cannot seem to help it. So
he made up his mind to find the home
of Rattles If it took him all summer.
He began to suspect that it might.

The influx of aliens is diminishing

THE CALL OF
KIND

And beckoned merrily to me
A city sees, city knows

The hot gray pavement here to find.
"YOur Streets" | said, "are like a
flame'
sand yet" Chicago said. you came"
Yes, cities are as maidens are:
They know their charm, they know
their lure;
And men may sail however far,
And breathe an air however pure,
And men may talk of huddled roofs.
And give you facts and give you
proofs
That city walls are prison walls
That cage free men-yet something
calls.
This calls; not roofs nor walls nor
streets;
1t is the calling of our kind;
For here the heart of Demos beats,
And here humanity you find.
The city calls to men who roam,
Whatever city is their home,
For ''home" is not the only word
1t is the calling of the herd

vised as an experience in connection
with an ascension which Wise had
contracted to make here on August 16.
1859. The ascent was a failure on
that day and was attempted on the
following day with greater success.
An immense crowd gathered as Wise
sailed into the air with bag of mail.
Due to lack of wind he was forced
to descend near Charlottesville, 80
miles south of here, but first devised
parachute out of piece of muslin
nine feet square. To this he attached
the mail bag and dropped it over
board. He landed in his balloon not
far from where the mail bag landed.
The mail was then placed aboard a

mainder of what is known of the
event:

remember all the holes of which he
knew, and he knew of great many.
You know he makes use of holes to
escape from his enemies. and so he
makes it his business to know about
all the holes where he is in the habit

else has dug" thought Peter. because

feet as Rattles Kingfisher has dig a
hole? Of course it isn't hole that
anyone else is using, so it must be
an old hole. I'll go visit all the old

member on the Green Meadows and
in the Green Forest. He didn't once
stop to think that never had he seen
Rattles on the Green Meadows or in
the Green Forest, except along the
Laughing Brook. If he had he would
have saved himself lot of trouble
But Peter is that way; he thinks of
only one thing at time. Just then
it was holes in the ground. So he
pretty nearly ran his legs off visiting
all those old holes. Finally he just
had to sit down and rest. He was
tired and he was discouraged, but he
was just as curious as ever, and he
had no idea of giving up. Jimmy
Skunk happened along just then. AL
though Peter didn't know it, Jimmy
had been watching him for some time
Lost something's" inquired Jimmy.
Peter looked at Jimmy with such
look of surprise that Jimmy laughed
right out. "No, l haven't lost any,

You have been running about as if
you were trying to find something. and
so thought you must have lost some
thing" replied Jimmy. who didn't
think anything of the kind but said
it just to find out what Peter would
say.
For a few minutes Peter said moth
ing. He fairly ached to ask Jimmy if
he knew where the home of Rattles
was. but he was little ashamed TO.
