LOCOMOTIVES TIE
LOVELL'S HEAV|ES
Laurel Makes Determined Last
Half Stand-Red Lodge To
Play Here Friday

The Laurel Locomotives made a
determined last half stand to hold
off a heavier, hard charging Lowell,
Wyo., team to earn a 1912 tie last
Saturday afternoon.
The Laurel lads, playing heads-up
football, struck quickly to score
twice in the first quarter. Recover
ing a tumble at about the Lowell
33-yard line, Laurel made a first
down at about the 23-yard line,
with Milligan picking up about 7
yards through line. Then Void
went off tackle from about the 23rd
to score standing up. On the next
kickoff Laurel kicked over the
goal line and it was Lovell's ball
on their own 20. They made two
consecutive first downs, but were
forced to kick from their w AZ
yard line. Laurel returned the ball
to the middle of the field. Then
Laurel begged down and with q
five-yard off-side penalty against
them were forced to kick again.
Over the goal line, again it was re-
turned to the Lowell 20. By a
couple of pass interruptions and one
tumble Laurel regained the ball on
the Lowell 40. Laurel then made
it a first down on the 25-yard line,
from where a perfect executed re-
verse sent "Sonny" Void on his way
again. Score: Laurel IL, Lowell 0.
Both attempted kicks by Kamerzel
were blocked by the hard charging
Lowell line.
The second quarter was played in
the center of the field, with Lowell
advancing the ball at one time to
the Laurel 10-yard line only to lose
possession on a tumble. To start
the second half Lowell kicked off
with Laurel kicking it right back
to them; then Lowell started from
their 81 and made a first down on
the Laurel 48. A long pass placed
the ball on the Laurel ID. An off
side was called on Laurel which
the ball on the Vineyard
inc from where S. Earl rammed

point was blocked.
The rest of the third quarter and
he better part of the fourth were
between the two 40-yard
markers. Late in the quarter Low
took the ball on their own 40
ard line and made three consecu-
i've first downs to the Laurel eight
ard line. On the second play Lau-
ell threw them for a t%wo-yard lose
nd the ball was on the TO-, but
hey picked up On the next play
they had lost.
1t was a tense moment for the
.aurel team, fourth down AMI

ack, hit the line hard and it
,oked like his forward progress

thistle had blown.

and the game was tied up. The
try for extra point failed on a line
play and the game was over a few
moments later.
The charges of Coach Jinx And.
erson, although out-weighed, played
a whale of a game and they really
deserve the support of the town
people. Let's not forget the next
game will be here this Friday
afternoon against Red Lodge. This
is a conference game and as tribute
to the Laurel team we should not

The war had been going on
less than a year when Rex

overseas to the old China

kept as a sentry dog. Rex be-
came a scout and was a Wild
eyed, fanged terror when he
went on patrols into enemy
territory. No one explained
to Rex why they put him
aboard ship last winter; all
he probably knew was that he
had done little work since
August. At Aleshire they
found him to be mighty
sharp" meaning tough, in
clincd to tear some one apart.
They went to work on Rex.

different enlisted men and

snapped or grOWled a strange
handler would yank the leash
and yell MOI"
One of their odd tricks was
to jump at him suddenly from
behind a tree or Whack him
lightly with rolled sack.
After Rex learned to accept
these indignlticS placidly his
asSaIlantS invariably dropped
their sacks and sticks, held
out their arms and invited
him to play. After three
weeks the War-taught mean

morose, yet he played with all
comerS, also the other dogs.
Most graduates could have
gone home then, but not Rex
he could not forget his
wartime handler. Nine more
weeks of association with men
he had never seen before fol-
lowed. weeks in which the
Minnesota owner kept de-
manding by mail that Rex be

April, Rex received his dis

More than $4,000 dogs were
donated TO the Army in the
course of the war. and of this
total some 10000 proved
aggressive and dependable
enough to go on active duty.
Best war dogs were male Ger
man shepherds, 2 to 5 years
old. Deep attachment was
formed between each handler
and his dog. Today, in three
cases out of 10 discharged war
dogs the handlers ask and
receive from the previous
owners permission to keep
their wartime companions,
Aleshire officers say.
Usually prewar owners are
inSiStcnt on the prompt re-
turn of their dogs, and in one
case the aid of a Congress
member was enlisted.
Occasionally, an owner de-
clincs the Army's offer. Thus,
recently at Aleshirc depot. l6
war dogs, chiefly German
shepherds and all thoroughly
"de-agitated," were ready for
sale through the Consumer
Goods Division, War Assets
Administration. Prices ranged
from SIS to $25, depending on
the shipping distance.
For them the war won't be
over until they have found a
civilian job as mans best

Studies now being made at the

Many farmers already are using
the electric hay drier to remove the

Roy B. Davis, jr.. assistant agri-

Research Aids
For Producers
Sought in Act

The Hope Flanagan Research
and Marketing Act provides a broad
national program Of research into
basic agricultural and economic laws
and principles, according to Joseph
H. Blandford, Maryland director of
the Production and Marketing Ad-
ministration.
The act provides for research and
services in connection with problems
of marketing, transportation and
distribution of agricultural products,
he said, and for the development of
new uses for agricultural products.
Mr.. Blandford said farmers, dis
tributors and consumers will benefit
under provisions Of the act
Farmers can look for improved
methods of producing and market
ing their commodities and to ex-
panded markets" he said. More
efficient marketing should lower
costs to consumers. Use of newly
developed food industrial products
should help to raise the consumers
standard Of living. The food trades
and other industries should be able
to distribute an increased range and
volume of commodities to a larger
number of consumers as research
under this act begins-to show results.
Since this act was passed just
before the adjournment of the last
Congress, funds for carrying out its
provisions are not yet available. The
funds authorized under the act in
crease from So, 500 900 for the current
fiscal year to $61 900 900 in 1851.
The National Advisory Committee
for the Agricultural Research and
Marketing Act of 1916 approved the
designation of E. A. Meyer by Sec
retary Anderson to head develop
ment of these plans and programs
in the Agriculture Department under
the act. Mr.. Meyers duties will
include co-ordinating work done
under the provisions of the act with
existing work of the Agriculture
Department. He has been assistant
administrator of the PIMA since
April. The National Advisory Com
mittee meets quarterly and the next
meeting is scheduled for February.
