Must Make Shifts,


Turing the meeting here further
shifts in games will be made to
allow Michigan and Ohio to play
in the finale Of their seasons. The
Buckeyes and Michigan are among the
oldest rivals in the Big Ten. and their
game always can be counted on to
draw tremendous crowd, regardless Of
the records of the teams. Heretofore,
the game has been played in mid
October to insure spectators good
weather, but alumni of both schools are
demanding 1t be made the climactic con-
test Of the season. In 1884 Michigan
and Ohio meet in November and there
after in the final game Of the campaign.
II the proposed merger of Northwest
ern and Chicago Universities mate
rallies, 1t will eliminate the Puppies
search for an attractive closing game.
since the Illinois game naturally would
be assumed by the team that probably
would be known as Northwestern Chi
cago. Should plans for the consolida-
tion fail, then Northwestern probably
will arrange to close its gridiron sea-
sons with Notre Dame as an opponent.
Iowa, OF course. is left out in the cold
In so far As conference opponent for
closing games Is concerned. But the
Hawkeyes could do very well with their
neighbor, Iowa State College at Ames,
or even Nebraska, as a foe. There is
intense intra-State rivalry between Iowa
and Ames and also good spirit between
the Hawks and Huskers. So in either
case Iowa would have q good gate at
traction.

TRADITIONAL T|LTS

Big Ten Yields to Demands

)HICAGO, December o.
I During its annual meeting
~ now being held here, the
Western Conference hopes
to rearrange its foot ball sched-
ules so that, starting in 1885,
traditional Big Ten games will be
played on the final Saturday of
the season.
Semi-rotating schedules have made
it dificult in the past for the conference
to have all its traditional games played
at the conclusion of the season. Last
Spring q start toward that end was
made and it likely will be completed
this week.
The traditional games In the Big Ten
are Ohio State and Michigan, Illinois
and Chicago, Indiana and Purdue and
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Neither
Northwestern nor Iowa has played an
unbroken series with any conference
rival sufficiently long to warrant 1t being
termed a traditional game. So the
Purple and Hawkeyes are more or less
out on limb as regards a conference
game.
As the result of efforts made last
Spring, Illinois and Chicago, Indiana
and Purdue and Wisconsin and Mime
sofa now meet in final games of the
season. Indiana and Purdue have met
in the final game for many years, and
Wisconsin and Minnesota have as
rule. but with some breaks. For many
years Illinois always closed with Ohio
State. but that game now is being played
in October, in order that the Illini can
meet Chicago in late November.

Potafoes Are Trucked

NNE type Of farming Is moving In closer 70
the urban centers. Economists of the De-
partment of Agriculture have noted q tendency
in the last few years for potato growers to
concentrate their efforts in areas within
trucking distance Of the ultimate consumer.
The tme-honored system Of shipping potatoes
by carload lot from areas far back IN the
agricultural centers of Maine and other potato
growing States has given way to the modern
method of shipping direct from the farm by
auto truck to dealers who are in position to
deliver almost from the farm to the consumer
This year, despite a curtailfng of acreage
planted in potatoes, it Is estimated that the
crcp will be as large as last year. Altogether,
3.270,000 acres are expected to be used for
potato growing

HE idea that Uncle Sam is a sort of Santa
Claus in 50 far As young trees are concerned
still seems to persist despite the denials issued
each year that the Federal Government has
free trees for distribution.
The only trees grown by the Forest Service
are for planting in the national forests. State
nurseries. however. do supply trees in lots of
500 or 1000 for planting on farm land
in reforestation programs and these young
trees are sold at low cost but there are no
foundation planting trees nor fruit trees avail
able for public distribution by the Federal
Government

that consumption of American cotton is ex-

was running as high IS $4,000 q year..
THEN he married Mrs Emily Pacheo, who
ran the rooming house where he lived. She
is said to have advanced him the money with
which he started his magazine.
The marriage was not a success: and in the
Spring Of 1929 they separated. Burns having
fallen in love with a young music student OF
Minneapolis Mrs. Burns promptly told the
police of Burns record, and presently he was
arrested, sent back to Atlanta, and put in the
chain gang again.
This time he stayed in prison more than a
year. In the FAN of 1880, however he again
succeeded in breaking away and the posses
that chased him could find no trace Of him.
After wandering about trying to get work ne
settled down in East Orange. N. ].
Presently he wrote a book describing his ex-
periences, calling it "I Am a Fugitive From a
Georgia Chain Gang" and a little later the
book was made into movie.
This was almost his undoing Emboldened.
by the success of the movie, he moved about
more freely, and his place of hiding became
sort Of open secret and at last he was arrested,
and Georgia officers came to demand his re-
turn.
The publicity his case had been given, how
ever, had aroused great deal Of sentiment IN
his favor, and when extradition hearings were
held before Gov Harry A. Moore, Burns was

Then, one day, a city detective identified him

Twenty-four hours after Van Pelt's arrest
petition in his favor was circulated and signed
by more than score of responsible business
men. It was addressed to the California au-
thorities and asked that Van Pelt be parol-d
and allowed to remain in Hutchinson-or II
that was not possible, that he be given lenient

In Dover, which is in the Fifth

majorities in all three election dis
tricts over the May 27 election. The
total Tuesday was 1910 for license
and 315 against license, while at the
special election in May the totals
were s35 for the vets, 346 for the
drys.
Heavy Vote POlIed
In the Seventh district in Kent
Tuesday the total vote was 647 for
license and 209 against while May
27 the vote was 567 for the vets and
231 for the drys. A heavy vote was
polled Tuesday in the Ninth district
as compared with the vote on May
27. On Tuesday the totals were 568
for license and 293 against while at
the previous election the vote was
453 for the vets and 316 for the drys.
The total vote in rural New Cas-
tie county Tuesday showed a falling
of as compared with the total num-
ber of ballots cast at the special
delegate election on May 27, but in
Kent and Sussex counties the bit
terness of the struggle to keep these
districts as dry as they have been

increased number of voters whol
went to the polls Tuesday in prac-
tically every district in each of
these counties.
In New Castle on May % the total
vote polled was 1859 while Tues
day the total was 1908, a decrease

While the election Tuesday was
