IN THE NAME

The conference which it Is proposed to hold next May between President Roosevelt, the governors of all tho states and the members of congress, is Bomething for which the country has been aching for a long time. Those who keep themselves posted on conditions, have realized with growing alarm that without certain restrictions many of the natural resources which have made this country take rank with the greatest nations of the world, must surely become extinct. This is true with reference to certain minerals and deplorably apparent in the case of timber. The demand for lumber, the encroachment of the farming industry In timber countries, the great number of forest fires which have swept over vast areas of the finest wood lands in the country, have devastated the forests which a few years ago seemed Inexhaustible, and depleted the output of lumber so that it is now almost as cheap to build a house of brick and stone aa of wood. Railroad companies are confronted by a shortage of

ties and thus far have been at a loss to find anything that will serve as an equally good substitute for these necessities. Tho coal is practically exhausted In various sections that some years ago were rich in in this product, and while there are still great quantities of it throughout the country at large, with manufacturing increasing as it is, even it may not last forever. Game is becoming well nigh extinct in many hitherto famous hunting regions and natural gas, which lias been an important factor in a large section of Indiana, Is gradually dwindling until it has ceased to occupy a conspicuous place among the sources of the state's revenues. The gold mines are becoming exhausted and there seems small chance for the discovery of any more of the precious metal within the boundaries of the United States. Many of these natural products are apparently done for, once they are exhausted, though there is no telling to what length science may go toward their replenishment if put to it. On the other hand, the depletion of certain resources has given rise to the discovery of substitutes, which had the need never arisen, would probably never have been brought to light. For necessity Is ever the mother of Invention. Mammouth plants are utilizing now with great profit, what formerly was regarded as pure waste and doubtless there will continue to be new discoveries which will, to a certain extent, take the place of the prime natural products. But it must be always kept in mind that all artificial and all by-products owe their origin to the natural products and that once these give out, there is an end to something definite and tangible. A bird in the hand Is worth two in the bush, as long as there is means to conserve the present natural resources of the soil, which there must bo in the case of the forests, game and incidentally furs, and the crop-bearing qualities of the soil, which has become almost barren in many of the one time richest and most fertile sections of the country, such means Is worth taking into account. If a movement looking to that end is prosecuted with sufficient vigor it must be productive of good results. Not the least important in tho hitherto partially overlooked natural resources of tho country, which are not subject to exhaustion, but have been simply ignored, are the inland waterways, which are of late the subject of agitation the country over. While for a generation or two it seems Impossible for the country to feel to a very appreciable general degree, the drains it has been forced to recognize as a growing menace, the welfare of posterity as the invitation which summons the governors to the proposed conference suggests, must be taken into account. The prosperity tho country has enjoyed between brief Intervals of dullness, ever since its settlement, can not last forever, without some safeguard Is thrown about it. Something has got to be done to preserve to posterity, its rightful inheritance, else the United States can look forward to a decline which will eventually land it In a position with some of the practically bankrupt countries of Europe. The conference of governors may bo the means of restricting immigration which would servo to limit in a measure the demand on the countries' resources. Or it may go still further and provide for some means which will make it possible for the inhabitants of this country to enjoy the products of the land, both natural and manufactured at as reasonable a cost as they are to be had for in foreign countries. It is a known fact that in certain commodities American made goods are sent abroad and sold for a less cost than the price exacted for them at homo. The time may be ripe when a little tariff regulation

would bring this desirable condition about without causing any corresponding evils. There is no tolling what results might be achieved by a conference of

the sort contemplated, If everybody who attends can for the nonce forget pontics and strive for the best interests of the country at large.

Cat's Peculiar Notion. A cat belonging to Mrs. Martin Robertson of Swanbillo Center, Me., has a litter of four kittens. The little ones were born in the woods a quarter of a mile from the house. For some unexplained reason the old cat will not have the whole family in the house at one time, but brings in two, which are allowed to remain for two days. Then these are taken back to the woods and the other two brought to the house. She has yet to get the two sections of the family mixed. Japanese School Appliances. South China is being covered with Japanese educational appliances specially adapted for Chinese use school bocks, maps, globes, anatomical and other charts all helping to rescue the people from their ignorance. Every school teaches physical and military drill. In every town of any size, and often in villages, there are now schools with foreign fittings for teaching western learning.

"M Gold h:" inaugurated at lI'.iuw University lust Saturday prove. 1 to he a great suee.-ss. C!as scrap had bet n an unknown thing at Pel'auw University tor live years until last Saturday. The faculty decided to set aside a day for a class day contest between the fresh men and sophomores some two week. ago and Saturday wan the day decided Upon. However. Die freshman and saphoinore classes were imt the only people who enjoyed the day, as tho Hcl'auw football team defeated Farlham college ior the state secondary championship. The con testa consisted of a game of basketball which was won by the Sophomores after a bitter battle by the small scon, of 1 r, to 14. A game of football followed the basketball and resulted in a tie, neither side scoring. I loth teams were exceptionally strong for tlass teams and showed up some good material for the "varsity" team next year. "The Serum lle." The football game was followed by the official class ".scramble." Kach class was represented by thirty-live men and the tight was pulled off on the football gridiron, under the super vision and umpiring of the facuUy members. A football stuffed with rairs was tossed up between tho captains of each team and the classes then endeavored to push it over their goal line, livery time the ball stopped motion for thirty seconds it was again put Into play between the two captains. Ihe time of the contest was twenty minutes. Each goal counted five and one-half points. The sophomores scored two touchdowns to tho freshmen's one, defeating them 11 to 52. The "scramble" was an experiment and proved a gerat success, no rowdyism or hard feelings being shown by either class, and will be adopted by the university at its official freshmansophomore fight. The first contest of the afternoon was a football game between DePauw academy and Plainfield academy, which proved to be a walkaway for the DePauw academy who won by a score of 27 to 0. At 3 o'clock the big contest of the day was pulled off before 2,000 people, many of whom were students in "Wabash and Indiana . It was the last game of the season for DePauw and clinched the secondary college championship, of Indiana for her. In the most spectacular game that has been seen on the McKeen field this year, 1) Pauw cinched the secondary football championship cf Indiana and Illinois this afternoon by defeating Earlham college by a score of 19 to 12. The game was intensely interesting at all points and the immense crowd of rooters was on their toes during the entire game watching the mess of kicks, forward passes and end runs. For the visitors "Happy" Wann, Herrell and Wilson played a star game, while for the Methodists Tucker, Schultz and Harmon were easily foremost. Earlham (12) Position.

BASKET BALL AT WETTING. Imperial to l.uke County Times.) Whiting, Ind., Nov. IS. Two games of basket bail were witnessed by an enthusiastic crowd at Mcttier's hall Saturday night. The first game was between the Methodist Atheltie. association and the High School Alumni team of East Chicago. In this game the locals were victorious, the score being 20 to 10. The second game was between the Methodists' second team and the White Eagle Twin Juniors of Chicago. The visiting team was the winner in this by a score of 31 to 26.

Captain I.ubo, in explaining the Gopher game, said tho reason tho furward pass and other intricate plays were not pulled off with such success as in the past, was due to tile absence of Hendricks and Payne, two men who have been the principal figures in these plays. ILLINOIS VS. INDIANA. Crbana. 111., Nov. 18. Illinois' stock for the game with Indiana on Friday boomed with the splendid showing of the varsity against the fast freshmen Saturday, and it is believed, if the 1 1 1 i ii i keep up their gait, they will prove superior to the Hoosiers. The regulars' performance was all the more gratifying since Van Hook and Wham were out of the lineup. Van Hook says that he will be able to practice today. Wham also will be able to resume his post at tackle. The lllini have only three days to practice on Illinois field, as the journey to Bloomington must begin on Thursday. Sinnoek played in great form yesterday, and the little quarter is' expected to star against the Hoosiers. Hall's subs are all in good shape again. Brown and Wright being able to play Saturday. NOTRE DAME GETS BEST. Notre Dame, Ind., Nov. 18. Saturday was an open date on Notre Dame's football schedule, and the regulars were allowed to remain idle in order to be prepared for the stiff drills they will be put through this week in preparation for tho contest with Purdue on Saturday. The game with the alumni brought out the fact a number of weak spots In the varsity must be strengthened if Notre Dame hopes to win from the Boilermakers. Miller, center, has an abcess on his leg, but this will not keep him out of the coming event. PLAY PRACTICE GAME. East C'hU-nsro Hooters Wltnes Content Hetween Tigers and Improvised Team lu the Mud. (Special to Lake County Time.) East Chicago, Ind., Nov. IS. The Tigers were unable to schedule a game for yesterday and not wishing to disappoint their loyal rooters, played a practice game. Saturday Keenan set about organizing a team, and by 3 o'clock yesterday had nine men brave enough to line up against MeShane's scouring machine. The game was called at 3 o'clock by Referee Williams and the Tigers proceeded to do things to Keenan's aggregation. The field was under water in spots and the way the boys flopped around in the mud and slime furnished great amusement to the rooters. The awkward squad was able to scare up one suit, and justly proud was the wearer thereof Ollie Davis. The Tigers worked the forward pass and end runs at will and piled up a high score. In the second half, Spencer, timekeeper, lost interest in the game and devoted himself to the entertainment of the J. U. G. club, and the boys would have been playing yet if they hadn't woke up. About 250 spectators witnessed the exhibition. Tigers (55). Scrubs (5). Bill iter L. E Carnes L. T Skelly Douglas Jj. G .... . French Silverman C Mitchell McKenna R- G Davis R. E J.

IE EGKERSALLS South Chicago Team Defeated by Score of Twenty-Five to Nothing. MER STAR PARTICIPATES Man Who Made Maroons Famous Takes Prominent Part Bessemers May Protest. (Special lo Lake County TlmrO South Chicago, Nov. is. Walter Eckersall, the former Maroon star, took part in the game yesterday in South Chicago and helped to defeat the locals by the score of 23 to 0. He was the feature of the game and most of the attack was directed against him by the Besemer park boys. This is the first game in which he has participated for several weeks, and it is known that he never plays unless lie thinks the team is in danger of defeat. Two drop kicks which were attempted by him failed, not withstanding the fact that they were tried from the thirty-yard line. All of the South Chicago defense was so well directed against him, however, that there was no chance for him to show his ability. The South Chicago lads semed more anxious to show him up than to win the game. Most of the ground gained by the Eckersalls was made by long end runs and by forward passes. The line stopped them like a Hash when they attempted to gain anything there, but the ends wtrre not so successful In holding tho ileet backs of the opposing eleven. The entire game was played under protest because of the fact that the Eckersalls were over weight, were in fact a heavyweight division team.

Catherine's Lessois. By CECILY ALLEN. Currrlihted, 1307. by P. C. EAstmeaU 4 It was Katherine Morgan's first weeli at the Settlment's house. It was also 6 week of revelations. She was now alive to the fact that, despite her father's wealth, her liberal education, her years abroad, she knew little or nothing of the great mystery of life. Katherine had plunged into settlement work most Impulsively directly after her quarrel with Arnold Gresham. If a war had been lu progress she felt sure she would have gone out as a field nurse. She had thought seriouslj of entering a nunnery, but, being a Protestant, this would have taken time, and at that particular moment Katherine did not want time to hang heavily on her hands. She wanted action, and a different action from the usu.'d round of teas, dances and dinner?. Moreover, she wanted action apart from the world where she would meet Arnold Gresham. and, somewhat bitterly, she remarked to her tear stained Image in the dressing table mirror that unquestionably Arnold never would find time to visit a Settlement house! Neither wealth nor careful chaporonage had been able to protect Katherine Morgan from the shafts of one Dan Cupid. Heretofore the wealth at least had bought her everything that she desired, but it could not buy the slavish devotion which, lu her unthinking way, she demanded of Arnold Gresham. Other men had apparently been willing to spend their days and a large portion of their nights in serving her smallest ends, meeting her least Important desires, but grave eyed Arnold Gresham, who had asked her to marry him and placed the betrothal ring on her finger, had actually Insinuated that he was not sufficiently enamored of her to play the role of doormat. To be sure, it was not Arnold who had spoken those words literally, but Katherine's brother Bob, end the wrords rankled. Arnold had merely refused to break important business engagements to follow her in sudden flight to Mrs. Croxton's house party In the Adirondacks. And on various occasions when she had called up his office on the phone he had been out when he had said that he fully expected to be in all morning. If, during their engagement, he was so Indifferent, what chance had she to queen it over him after marriage? And Katherine down in her willful heart wanted to queen It over hira as she had queened It over all who had come her way since babyhood. Wherefore the Settlement house and Katherine seated In a deep window ledge with Maggie Delaney, discussing Saturday half holidays. "It's fierce to get all your plans laid and then have the boss turn 'em all upside down," Maggie was saying, with tears very close to her big gray eyes. "I wouldn't care so much for myself, but Tom, he's sort of run down, and he needs fresh air. We was going out to Ridley's park, where you can get a boat for 23 cents an hour, and the music's fine. Tom he always takes a nap under the trees, and then we have a row and a bite to eat, and he feels jnst fine for dancing. The dancing pavilion at Ridley's is Just grand." "Are you fond of dancing?" Inquired Katherine mechanically. "Do I love to dance? Well, I guess yes," answered Maggie enthusiastically. "And since Tom and me are engaged it seems sort of different. When the band plays. Td Rather Twostep Than Waltz, Dill,' seems like it ought to be 'Torn' Instead of 'Bill.' I could just dance right through life with Tom. Funny what a difference it makes when you know some one loves you!" She looked up Inquiringly at her companion's lovely face, but there wan no answering enthusiasm. "I really don't know how it feels," replied Katherine as If her body beside the young factory girl had suddenly been unlinked from the soul which answered the question. The mobile face of tho factory worker changed, and her voice softened. "Of course I know It ain't Tom's fault, but if he's ever going to make a home for me and take me outeu the factory he's got to stand In with his boss. Ridley's or no Ridley's, we'll take a trolley ride after supper anyhow, so I guess I'll be moving on and make a new stock out of that lace you gave me. Say, that's a lovely piece. I bad a mind to save it for my trousseau, only it will please Tom If I have something pretty and new on. Might as well chirk him up a bit lie's worse disappointed than me." The daughter of the rich and the factory worker went out of the door together. At the corner they pausea before separating. T wish you'd take this to your Tom," said the Impulsive young heiress. "There's a lovely little restaurant in the park. Tell Tom to take you there for dinner." She opened her gold mesh purse and hauled out a crisp, clean bilL The factory girl fisshea and drew back. "Tom ain't that sort He'd never take money from a woman." The young heiress saw her mistake "Well, "then, give it to some one yoa think might not be able to afford half hniidnv tHrv-sone one who has ' no Tom to take her out And sh I Png on tar,i a waitlnS tTOr7 Car before Maggie could reply. Xna cr "topped at the next corner, "Thi3 car Se3 to Ri(Ley 8 parkr 2 QaD3 aQ elderly am 1 "leS'El. CieD UVCiJ . jcuoi ucvw ductor. "Ridley's park!" Why, that was

where Maggie and Tom had planned to go. Katherine felt a sudden whim to see the pleasure ground of the young people among whom she had worked during the past week. She would go to IliJley's park. Away the car bowled, stopping now and then, but less frequently as tho suburbs were reached. And It seemed to Katherine that at every stop more Maggies and Toms scrambled aboard, all with an air of golden anticipation, that she had never felt at prospect of an automobile tour or garden party. So absorbed was she in watching the half holiday crowd that she did not notice the attention she was attracting from a group of half tipsy youths who

una uuumi ner "the queen" and w-re daring each other fo -pick up the peach." At Ridley's park she felt oddly dizzy with the confusion. Perhaps she had worked a bit too hard at the Settlement house. Ferhaps t.he had not eaten enough. At any rate, when they reached the park entrance, and the crowd shoved her this way and that, and the three youths clustered around her and paid her loathsome compliments, she wondered whether sho should faint or scream aloud. Suddenly a man la uniform shoved the leer ing- youths asido and touched her elbow deferentially. "Where do you want to go. miss?" inquired the trolley inspector, for such ho was. "Home, home," exclaimed the tired girl, with a touch of hysteria In her voice. "Car on the third track," said tho inspector laconically, and he put her aboard. Once out of tho crowd, with tho cooling west wind fanning her face, Katherine felt letter. She understood now why Maggie felt that Tom-big. protecting Tom had given the girl a newview of life. It must be dreadful to be alone and unprotected in the world. Now, if Arnold had only been different, it he had not been so absorbed in business. Thea suddenly a feeling that had never coma to Katherine Morgan before obsessed her. Had Arnold ever really neglected her? Had he ever refused her his attendance save when the willfully changed her mind or made childish demands on his time? She remembered, too, that her father said something about a shaky market, possibilities of a panic, the need of conservatism, etc. They had all been meaningless termaIn her moment of anger, but now sho understood. If Arnold meant to take her "outeu the factory" he must stand in with his boss, too, and Arnold's boss was "the street." Something bright and round fell from Katherine's eye to the gloved hand she raised hastily as a screen, and then It happened crashing beams, crackling glass, shrieking women and groaning men. When Katherine woke up she was in Arnold Gresham's big touring Var and Arnold Gresham's face was very close to hers. "How did you get off?" she inquired dully, feeling as if she had been changed into Maggie Delany and Maggie's Tom had come to the rescue. "I went down to the Settlement house for you, found you had left with one girl, and another told me she had seen you board the car for Ridley's park. I was just following you out when I saw the collision and thought I might be of some service to the injured. Katherine, why In the world did you go out like this alone?" Katherine laid her head contentedly on Gresham's still trembling shoulder. "Because I needed to know that I could not get along without you. Arnold, dear, take me home." Spoonsful and Mouthsfuf. Heaven forfend that with rash hand I should rip open the chronic controversy as to tb.e proper plural of spoonful et hoc genus omne. At present and for the present that controversy is happily slumbering, and I would say non molestar II can che dorme. It Is very sure to wake up ere long and vex us. Tet I cannot refrain from citing one word of that class which, strange to say, has hitherto been overlooked la the controversy and which yet ougbt to be decisive of It That word is mouthful. Now, if the advocates of spoonsful, etc., have any pretensions to consistency they must doubtless maintain that the proper plural of this word is mouthsful.
