Only Four Members of Team
to be Ineligible Because OF
Three-year Rule.

1t may be the 1910 Junior College
football team that will win the N. j.
C. C. title, for only four members OF
this years sensational newcomer into
the conference circle will be lost be-
cause of the three-year rule. Ten of
the remaining 18 members of the squad
are now sophomore students, so the
caliber of next years club will depend
a lot on whether they return for post
graduate work. If they all return, keep
your eye on the conference title.
Co-captain John Perko, Matt Mayerle
and Joe Pengal, ace linemen, are now
in their third year of competition in
college athletics so will be lost to the
squad. Such is the case with Joe
Novak, main ground gamer and passer
in the backfield. These men will be
difficult to replace.
Also difficult to find substitutes for
in case anyone of them fails to return
to school next fall is the list of soph-
ignores, most of whom played in the
starting lineup.
They include Bob Hall and William
Loushin in the backfield, and Frank
PoVhe, Tony Stukel, Leonard johnson,
Richard Mcfarland, Albert Rom, Wayne
Brownell, Don Butala and William
Lamp in the line.
These men will be eligible for another
season if they register again, and the
strength of the 1910 aggregation will
depend a lot upon how many Of them
show up.
Eight freshmen members of the club
and seven lettermen on the high school
team who will be graduated this spring
may have to be used by Coach Barney
Banks as a nucleus for the team, but
this list includes considerable talented
material.
Heading it are Ed Kun, lineman;
John zaic, a versatile player who saw
service in both the line and backfieldf1
and Albert Banks, back of no small
ability. Leonard TomSich and George
Tuomala, sub backs, and Dale Needing,
Allen McIver and Joe KapSch, sub line
men, saw some service during the year.
Several outstanding members of the
high school team will be welcome ma
terial for Coach Banks if they register
next fall. Paul Prola and Willie Ora
hex will be available for the backfield,
and Dan Mestnik, William Mills, Peter
Handberg, Andrew Luthanen, Tony
Grahek and Frank Kalan for the line.
All of the charter members of the
Junior College squad named above are
eligible for letters.
Starting the year very much in the
role of the underdog, the conference
baby, scoring surprise" wins over Hib-
bling and Virginia, catapaulted to itself
to the top position in the conference, a
spot it held until the final game of
the season. Most surprised over the
record compiled by the club were the
football experts and fans in general on
the Mesaba range who conceived that
a beginner could be nothing more than
mediocre.
Closer followers of the team who were
acquainted with the situation figured

of doing her hair, that brought out it's
good points, she might never have be-
come self-conscious about her appear
ance.
Because this girl is an only child, it
occurs to me that her mother may be
watching over her too closely, all
around. 1t wouldn't be at all bad idea
to let her go to a camp next summer,
and see how the counsellors find she
reacts to other children. Where every
one is on equal terms, as at camp,
where no one has more privileges or
possessions than the rest, each girl must
rely on the strength in her personality,
and is, by means of joint activity, given
a chance to prove that she can be an
enjoyable companion.
If any readers have further sug-
gestions as to how to help this mother,
or questions that you feel she should
answer, won't you write them in?

SniffLes Called Most
Disabling AiLment

The common head cold causes more
illness and disability and is more gen.
orally neglected than any other human
afflication, according to bulletin
issued today by the Minnesota State
Medical associations committee on pub
lie health education, second of a series
issued by the association in November
on respiratory diseases.
There are many types of colds" the
bulletin says, "but the commonest is
the ordinary head cold caused by a
substance called a virus in the nose
and throat secretion of cold victims
1t passed from person to person, usually
in the mouth spray from sneezing,
coughing and talking, and occasionally
by handling contaminated articles or
eating contaminated food 1t usually
starts with sniffles and may disappear
in about a week; but often it merely
opens the way for secondary infections
set in motion by bacteria that are al
ways present in the nose and throat
and would otherwise have caused no
trouble. Chilling may also cause con-
gestion in the respiratory passages and
cold symptoms that may be temporary
or may open the way for these same
secondary infections"
Virus colds are most infectious dur
ing the first three days, the doctors
point out. The best way to protect
others and at the same time to get well
quickly is to stay home in bed In any
case, avoid sneezing, coughing or talk
ing into the faces of others, the doctors
say and wash hands thoroughly before
touching anything that may be touched
by Others
There is no specific drug or treatment
that will cure any kind of cold, the
bulletin declares. The best treatment
helps to soothe inflammation and thus
lessons the possibility of secondary in
lection. A combination of codeine and
papaverine was found to be helpful in
recent studies of cold treatments made
on hundreds of University of Minnesota
students. For sore Threats, gargling or
irrigation with hot salt solution is also
soothing. Medicated oils dropped in
the nose were found to have no value
whatever and they have a distinct
tendency to prolong irritation.

KNOW YOUR
GAME BIRDS
Study of Game Bird Lore Urged
to Keep Minnesota Hunters
Out of the Courts.

Know your birds" That is the adj
vice which not few Minnesota hunters
failed to heed the past hunting season,
according to reports received at the
Office of the director of game and fish.
One result was that many of these
hunters have had to appear in court and
explain why the wardens brought them
there. The plea that it was a mistake
was not accepted this year-not even to
the extent of pheasant hen. Last
year one such mistake per hunter was
overlooked.
New recruits to the hunting army who
had neglected to get posted on game
bird lore soon found, when they got
into the field, that it was not an easy
matter to recognize on sight the kind
of bird which whirred out of the covers
upon their approach. 1t did not take
them long to tumble to the fact that it
took an experienced eye to pick the
bird permissible to shoot in the hurry
required to bag it.
In view of the fact that there are no
less than eight principal kinds of upland
game birds in Minnesota, experts con-
cede that special efforts are required
to distinguish one from the other on
sight. Therefore, division officials and
conservation leaders indorse the sug-
gestion that prospective hunters fam
iliarize themselves with the character
istics of the quail, the partridge, also
known as ruffed grouse, the pheasant,
the two different kinds of prairie
chickens (the pinnated and the sharp
tailed grouse), the Hungarian partridge
and the chukar partridge.
Minnesota had open seasons on all
three of these upland game birds this
lyear-the parairie chicken, the sharp
tailed grouse and the chukar partridge.
The chukar is new addition to Min
neSota game bird stock and it may take
another two years before there will be
| enough of them to warrant an open
season. This last one was the first open
season on Hungarian partridge in this
state and it's propagation mere has not
entirely emerged from the experimental
stage, although prospects of ultimate
ouCSCSS are UI1Sllt, dCCOrQ1lS 10 game
and fish officials.
Prospects of early resumption of
prairie chicken shooting are also de-
clared to be promising. As matter
of fact, officials claim, the sharp tailed
grouse are numerous enough right now
to have justified an open season This,
however, is not the case with the pin
mated grouse, popularity called the
prairie chicken, but since the two are
so similar in appearance as to make
| it extremely difficult for the average
lperson to distinguish between them, it
was thought best to continue the closed
season on both this year.
With such long list of game birds,
and the seasons and hunting regulations
for each varying in several important
particulars, there is an urgent need for
hunters knowing their birds, in the
opinion of the initiated Game and fish
and other law enforcement agencies,
together with conservationists generally,
are hoping that nimrods acquire as

Times Change
PrankSter Gets Paid.

Breckenridge-Ask dad, and he'll tell
you what reward he received for soap
ing windows on Halloween when he
was boy. Yes, kick, or strap across
the seat of his pants, but that was
years ago. The 1889 Halloween pays
the youth who makes the best of a
piece of soap. A group of about ten
boys appeared before the large display
windows of one of the towns stores.
Within few minutes the windows were
completely covered with soap. Bud
Vertin went outside and told the youths
he would give gift to the one who
could draw the best cartoon on the
window. The judges awarded the one
dollar bill to Benton Berg, Jr. The
cartoon he drew was of the proprietor.

GOphers GnaID Through
Underground Gable.

Montevideo-This time it was not the
Golden Gopher football team that
showed its proves, but rather number
of little gophers who had eaten through
an underground cable. This explains
why 80 telephones in Thompson's Ad-
dition and parts of the North Third
and Fourth, were out of order. An
underground cable carries lines serving
Thompson's Addition. When reports
came that phones were out of order the
telephone company's crew of expert
troubleshooters went to work. The men
found that the shell covering the under
ground lines had been eaten through,
presumably by gophers, and as result
moisture entered. Soon, however, SER
vice was resumed.

Pete Succumbs

leader among his fellow mates. Usually
clad in his little lavender jacket, made
from the sleeve of discarded sweater
and fastened with a couple of safety
pins, Pete often attracted the attention
OF passersby. He was favorite among
the members of the Joe Stradcutter
household. Being quite a bit smaller
than the rest of the chicken flock, the
animal was always picked on, in fact
picked Of every feather he ever pos
sessed. That is the reason he had to
have store clothes, something to keep
him warm. However, Pete is no more.

Have Heard II Said
1t Couldn't Happen TO Me
A Story From The HERBTEX Files

Many people unknowingly are
falling prey to the misery and sick
ness which comes as after-effects
of constipation. They have false
feeling Of security because Of the
fact that they experience a SEEM
ingly reasonable bowel movement
practically every day. When the
question of constipation results is
brought up they feel sit can't hap
pen to me-" They are somewhat
like the person who says Of the
gun, 81 didn't know It was loaded"
Constipation can be present even
though a daily movement takes
place. In fact this condition affords
a choice opportunity for its work
because its potential victim allows
things to proceed unheeded. HERB
TEX, with SPINACH, is used by
many regularly, at proper intervals,
to give the bowels and intestinal
tract needed lift or boost so that
a thorough cleansing may be made
more possible.
The HERBTEX theory is one of
prevention as we'll as relief. HERB
TEX starts its work right at the
source or origin of most intestinal
tract diseases-the stomach. It is
in liquid form, all ready for action.
You don't have to wait for it to
dissolve and you don't have to take

any extra pills or tablets to get
results. Many fail to realize, or
seem to forget, the part constipa-
ton can play In such expressions
as "My back is killing me" "My
head is splitting" my stomach
seems on fire" and so on.
HERBTEX, by its laxative aid,
helps prevent and relieve jumpy

acid indigestion, stiff, swollen joints
and rheumatic-like pains and aches.
when due to constipation. HERB
TEX assists in proper digestion,
without which a loss Of appetite

chemical science and In a labora-
tory which makes use Of every rec

The immediate success Of HERB
TEX, which was only recently put
on the market, caused the company
to adopt the policy Of relief or re-
turn of the purchase price. This is
a truthful gesture of faith In our

Ten Per Cent Increase
In Business Volume
Seen for 1910
War Orders and Trade
Goins With Neutruls
Are Predicted
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

0beS1eA NaSS@sSAA w AAsS SSSA'
BOSTON, Dec. 4.-In its special
annual forecast report, issued this
week, the United Business Service
analyses 1910 prospects as follows:
Total volume of business Is ,ex-
pected to be about 10 per cent larger
than in 1899. Stimulus will come
from Cd increasing war orders, (2)
trade gains with neutral nations, (3)
rising domestic purchasing power,
% record spending for national de-
fense. (5) a high level Of activity In
the heavy industries. Soma tempo.
rary decline in the seasonally ad-
justed indexes is likely in the first
half year, but full-year volume
should exceed 1887.
The commodity price trend will
be upward, with most pronounced
gains likely in the third quarter.
Average prices will probably rise
about ST per cent during the year.
Production Rise Forecast.
Industrial production will hold q
relatively high level throughout the
year, and should average at least
10 per cent better than in 1899. A
moderate slackening is likely in
first half, followed by uptrend again
in the fall. Durable goods output
should exceed 1899 by 1913 per cent.
with consumer goods production up
6-8 per cent.
"The dollar volume of retail trade
in 1910 should be about $40 per
cent larger than in 1889. Price
trends will be upward, and physical
volume will probably run ST per
cent greater than in the current year.
1T will be big steel year. Ingot
output should total around $4,000 900
tons, a II per cent gain over 1889.
Full-year operations on this basis
will average about TOTS per cent Of
capacity.
Building volume is expected to
be slightly larger than in 1899. Mod
crate gain in residential and sharp
increase in both industrial and util-
ity construction should somewhat
more than Offset smaller volume
Of public works activity. Rents will
tend upward during the year.
Auto Gains Due.
Automobile output should reach
about 1850 900 units. a 1918 per cent
gain over 1899. War demand will
lift truck production. Exports Of
passenger cars, however. are likely
to fall short of 1899 figures. Rising
purchasing power, both urban and
rural, will lift domestic sales.
Earnings should average substan-
TALLY higher than in 1889, with best
comparative showing in the first
half. Divided increases and resump-
tions will mount. and total payments
will probably run 1920 per cent
above 1899.
Farm income will be increased by
higher crop prices and continued
heavy Federal benefit payments.
Total cash income for 1910 should
approximate $1,000. .00O, 900, 8-10 per
cent more than this year."
