the biggest errors. Their offensive
never got under way; their defen-
sive torn to sreds against a bat
tering, bigger Litchfield line, they
showed nothing at all in the first
half-except inexperience.
Leading the strong last half de-
fensive was center Bob Hansmann
for Sank Centre. Hansmann clear
ly showed the way in the defen-
sive. While other boys too took
hold in that last half to muff the
Litchfield attempts to score, Bob
spectacular instances of stopping
what seemed certain touchdown
runs. Light in weight, but spirited
and game, Bob nabbed Bober twice
as he wheeled out over the line
and was apparently on his way.
But aside from these flashes of
defensive punch, Sank Centre show
ed little and coaches went this
week into more intensive drilling
on fundamentals of blocking and
tackling.
Litchfield scored first in the first
quarter. A strong downfield wind
from the south nullified defensive
punting tactics. Litchfield won the
toss, and Sank Centre received at
the north end of the field. Sank
Centre lost ground deep to it's own
twenty on a tumble by Veeder and
q xuida nasc from copter Moopay,c
punt, hung on the wind, was short.

1889 and for 1910, the latest period
for which reports are available,
stood at the highest mark in his
tory of the state.
Savings made in the 1889 reor-
ganization could not be translated
immediately into increased road
building, for the department had
to pay off in 1889 $1,600,000 in un-
paid bills of the previous year and
build up cash reserve for opera
ton under the new encumbrance
system, which requires cash on
hand before contracts are let. The
gains now are beginning to show
up in increased road work, how
ever.

Ltchfield began on Sank Centres
twenty yard line ran up a first
down, massing their interference
behind the running cleats Of both
Bober and Kohl. Bober scored
smacking the line and then con-
verted the extra point.
That old wind tackled UP another
score combined with Sank Centres
failure to get out Of the hole.
MONEYS punt was short again.
Litchfield rolled up two first downs
and then Kohl scored standing up.
And Litchfield had shown nothing
but straight stuff. On the first
play after the kickoff Sank Centre
fumbled again and McCandless re-
covered on the Sank Centre fif-
teen. Bober swung the end for a
first down and Kohl cracked over
the line for five yards. Bober took
over the scoring play. Litchfield
missed the point.
That wound up the scoring.
Litchfield threw a new team into
the battle at that point until half
time. Mooney turned the tide once
with an intercepted pass. The aer-
ial game of either team was nil.
Litchfield tossed four passes
three of them in last half attempts
to hike up their scoring-and took
in all one interception and three
incomplete. Sank Centres passes
were two, one incomplete and one
intercepted.

half of June this year numbered

BIRD IN HAND
Partridge Flies
Through Window;
Others Hunt

There is always something to
disturb a mans reading Of his
Sunday morning paper.
Now it's Of all things part
ridges!
While a lot of the other boys
were tramping mosquite-infested
north country on the opening of
the prairie chicken season, Leo
Jordan was quietly reading his
paper on Sunday morning.
A sudden crash of glass and
there on the floor of his home
on Fourth Street lay a part
ridge stunned by the impact
with the pane. He put It I'm
q box for recovery and It did
apparently. For wlren Jordan
showed It to neighbor Carl
Perry, there was a flutter and
Mr.. Jordan was left with-a
broken window.
But up around Red Lake Falls
and Crookston and other spots in
the open zone on prairie chickens
local hunters braved mosquitoes
and rains and plenty Of mud for
the right to hunt.
In various parties there were
Bill Benson, Russ Shulze, Gus An
derson, DR.. J. F. Dubois, Philip
Steiner and Pat Dubois, L. ]. Dol
son, Leo Hedin, Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
old Gray and Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Peterson who incidentally got
their limits-Dick Bushey, DR.. r.
E. Cooper, Jim Cooper and Larry
Cooper. And a number of others.
Misfortunes that befell the parties
because of heavy rains and a lar
ger than normal crop of mosquitoes
are volume, the boys said. The
Cooper-Bushey party reported driv-
ing through almost torrential rains
and finding mosquitoes and mud
and darned few chickens.
P. s. to this hunting yarns. p.
Hansen, who really has nothing to
do with this story, has been going
to quit hunting every year for
twenty years. He still hasn't.

Al Highway


With the economies effected in
the reorganization Of the depart
ment in 1889 releasing more high
way funds for road building, Min
nesota's state highway department
this year will be able to place
fully $13,451 900 of construction
work on its trunk highways under
contract, Governor Harold e. Stas-
sen reported this week.
This Is more than twice the total
construction work for 1898, before
the reorganization instituted under
Commissioner Of Highways M. ].
Hoffman,, and represents one Of
the largest programs in recent
years. Only once in its history has
the department been able to do as
much paving work operating on
current funds without bond issues.
Total construction placed under
contract up to August % was ST.
091, $3.50. Remaining projects are
expected to bring the total for the
year up to $13,451, 900, compared to
$5,736,166 for 1888, $4,965,751 for
1900, anu 3t,1Oa yZ1O IOT 1ofO.
Abolition of practices in effect
in 1888 and reorganization of the
department along more economical
lines have been big factors in MAX
ing possible the increased build
ing program, Governor Stassen
pointed out. Payment of large
sums to contractors for equipment
rental and purchase of supplies
without competitive bids in partic-
ular were under fire. A legislative
investigating committee, digging
into these practices, concluded they
had wasted large sums in 1887 and
1888 which otherwise might have
gone into road building.
All purchasing now has been
placed on a basis of competitive
bids, rental of equipment has been
reduced to a minimum and other
economies effected to make avail
able more money for roads. Evil
dences Of the change include:

One of the most moving short
stories of the current war, is The
Snow Goose which Mrs P N.
Van Slyck told Monday afternoon
for the Twice Told Tales section
of the Ten Thousand club at its
meeting at the home of Mrs. w.
H Tyler, Jr, 662 Wensley avenue.
This tale combines mysticism and
the concrete reality of war, being
concerned with the strange bond
of affection between a crippled Eng
lishman and a mysterious white
snow goose. The cripple, because
of his grotesque appearance, has
lived lonely life, hidden from his
fellow men, with the wild creatures
of an isolated spot of Great Britain,
and one small girl, as his only
| friends.
With the evacuation of Dunkirk
the cripple is given the opportunity
to play his part as a man, helping
