It Is stated there is no satisfactory method of choosing a ' championship football team among i the high schools of the association. ‘•The scheduling and playing of games as games to decide the state I championship are done without the sanction of the board of control,” the bulletin states. "We believe the best interests of the game of the schools concerned and of the 1. H. S. A. A. are not served by such games when they ' are advertised as state championship ' games. Officially there is no state championship team in football in the ■ I. H. S. A. A." The bulletin states there were 75 ' high school football teams in the state during the 1823 season. Secretary A. L.

This suggestion was made at recent farm life conference her by one of the country's leading farmers, who has put the plan successfully into operation. , "So long aa I let the day drag Into the night, on the succeeding day I was not efficient either in the management of my own labor upon it." declared John R. Howard. lowa farimer. former president of the American Farm Bureau, and now president of the National Transportation Institute. "Country life Is too commonly suppored to be. and too often la, tedious i colorless, made up of a routine, humdrum existence which confines the tanner and his family year in and year out to their immediate environments.” he said. "Such a thing as a farmer taking a vacation might sound an impose ible absurdity to many people. "For my own part I want to asy I consider an annual vacation for the farmer, a business proposition. Suecesstul agriculture Is as much a matter of mental activity as it is of physical. The vacation is a productive investment because the new contacts made and ideas gained are made use of in the betted management of the farm." ■■■»' I 0 11l ll»»—I——, PROPOSE STREET RAILWAY SYSTEM (United Press Service) Washington, Dec. 21—The city of Washington will own and operate a municipal street railway if a pro- !’<’*•! for th* purchase of the private ly owned plant is approved by the public service commission.

The cashier of the town bank, a town trustee, the president of the ■ school board and the postmaster signI ed a petition to the board of registration asking that the one-year require-

Dodge Brothers MOTOR CAR Value so pronounced that you are justified in looking upon'the purchase of a Dodge Brothers Motor Car as the soundest possible investment in transportation. Not a dollar is added to the purchase price to support a free service policy; nor to cover the costliness of numerous body or chassis types; nor to pay interest on borrowed money; nor to maintain a multiple organization of middlemen. Dodge Brothers finance themselves. They sell directly through a single organization of dealers to you. They do not believe in charging in advance for service you may never need. They have developed remarkable economies, and a time-seasoned product, by concentrating on standard types. These facts are reflected, not only in the price of the Car, but in the quality of workmanship and materials that enter into its construction. THOMAS J.
