There was little opportunity for fast work, and another game may be arranged between the two teams. Wesley Greene Says It Amounts to Only 15 PerCent. Wesley Greene, secretary of the Iowa Horticultural society, reports that Iowa has only a 15 per cent apple crop this year. The apple yield is nearly 63 per cent less than lust year, when the estimate was that the crop was 76 per cent of a full The only district where an apple yield of any consequence has been obtained Is In the southern tier ot counties where the commercial orchards of the state are located and where soma good yields are being obtained. Plums and grapes furnished the most prolific yields of any fruits' grown In tha state this year, the crop of each bclns more than sufficient to supply local demands, and much of each form of fruit being wasted for want of an easy market.

According to Mr. Greene, the state of Iowa might easily lead all Its western sister states in the production apples if producers would confine themselves to a few staple varieties Instead of the thousand varying kinds which ere now produced. Ben Davis apples, he declares, may be grown most profitably, and Jona-thans, Grimes Golden, WlneBaps, Wealthys, and. York Imperials are ail varieties which do well In this state and find a ready market In any part of the country. In normal years Iowa produces more apples than Washington and Oregon, where apple raising i a specialty, do combined.

Mr. Oreene states that thus fact Is little known and points out JTiat with so far little attention given to 4uo raising of this profitable crop there are infinite possibilities for the state devoting special effort to expert raising of apple orchards.

EXPECT HARD BATTLE Capt ain Blount and Blind- ley Regarded As Rival Stars.

if. i. Kyos of the liiterscholastlc foot.hall en-thiislasls me turnlns to tha first gamo or tne nty championship series which will bo ilayed nt Drake next Friday afternoon between North and West IliRh. Uoth teams have excep tional players In tho backfield, and iieiiiier wen defeated this season and neither has had Its goal crossed, although Hatcher of Marshalltown booted a dropkick which chalked up 3 points OKalnst N'orth, while a safety Beored by the Indianola team put two more black marks against the I'lnk and Green. With an eleven composed iarsely of mibstltutcB Saturday Xorth HlKh trounced Knoxville at Knoxville by tho scoro of 27 to i.

Captain Hlount, whose recent illness prevented hhu from plHy-Ing- the entire contest, did stellar work urter he went Into tho scrimmage, as did "Vic" Kllincson, last year's captain, whose klrklnu has been one of the features of tlie 'play of the I'lnk and Urcen. At Omaha Saturday West High found little opposition and had no trouble tn I mining- a score of 23 to 0 against the Neimiskniis, who seemed to have little KnowledKu of the gome. Brindley, the fleet ouurtcrback, was the principal performer, w'hile Spronjr, Moss, Evans and Captain Alellor came in for honorable no ntion. Wf.t High Not Iloufili. Coach "Hobby" Evans resented tho Insinuation in ban of the Omaha papers to tlie effect that his men resorted to roumi tactics, and declared that his men not only put up a clean, though hard game, hut that they conducted them, selves us gentlemen during: the entire trip.

Although the team work did not come up to his expectations, Coach Kvans expressed satisfaction with the Individual work of every man who had a chance to get Into the game. "While Mrlndley was the particular star, believe that every player deserves credit for his hard work," said Coach Kvans last night, do not expect that tho practice for a day or two will tie so full of inger us the team did not (ret homo until late and everyone was tired after the fast game. The men were anxious to run up a good score and all of them were In line physical condition, itis week they will be drilled In an rt-lort to improve the team work." Xorlli lliuli Anxious to Win. At North the roaches, Craven and Jlc-' relght, are saying little, but are work-lug hard to get the team In shape for tho 111 important contest. Thn men are eager to redeem their poor showing- of last year.

Captain Blount leads In all departments of the game and his presence puts all kinds of spice Into the work of his eleven. Klllngson and Boston sia also Important factors in the si ength of the team while the general defensive work of the tackles, ends, and backlleld men has been of the first class. Although North's lino Is light, the work of the team as a whole has been good, tho one handicap being the lack of strong substitutes in case one of the regular players Is Injured. Vor the past two weeks the fighting force of North High has been diminished bv tho injuries to Kaston, Sehllts, Turner, StcCauley and Antes. Of the avalhible substitutes Bennett, lluhl and Van Ulnkel have been tlie only ones who have shown up to advantage as there have been barely enough men on tho squad to compose two elevens.

With such spectacular players Captain Hlount and Hrlndley, and with lines so evenly matched, the first game of the city series will be of exceptional interest. Every man of either team will do his best to gain the first advantage In the fight for the high school championship ot Des Moines. Kwst Primes for Hurlington. Meanwhile Coach Van Mew will g-et his team In sliupe for the third and final out of town game at Hurlington. Although the back field has been tested and found strong, the line Is weak In snots and will be given a thorough combing this week.

With (iould and McLaren out with bad knees It has been a difficult problem to fill the gap at left tackle. Adelman, the other tackle, has shown remarkable Improvement and is good at advancing the ball. The Hyers brothers and Iavldon are fast ground gainers, as W'as sliovvn last Friday u-ffalnst Lincoln. In the Lincoln game Swartas surprised his most ardent admirers by his terrific defensive playing. Although outweighed by Ills opponent, Kwaru succeeded in nailing tho quarterback for a loss on mom tliHi one occuslou.

BY FORD ROADSTER Car Driven by Dr. R. W. Soper of Luther Takes did den Tour. CLOSE BETWEEN TWO Paige Machine Pressed Winner Hard for First Place.

Tho Ford roadster, owned, entered and driven by Dr. It. W. Soper of Luther, won the sweepstakes trophy In the Little Cilldden tour, which finished in Pes Moines Saturday afternoon. The decision as to the winners of the event was made yesterday afternoon by the officials of tlie endurance run.

The contest for the sweepstakes prize of tlie tour was close between the Dr. Soper car and the Paige roadster, driven by Ilruce Malcolm of the Paige factory. Both cars completed the MO mile run with practically perfect scores. Their penalties were trilling and the Ford won hy a small margin. Dr.

Soper's only trouble, however, was of an unfortunate nature and was not the fault of the car or the driver. Water in gasoline caused his motor to stop at one point, and It took the Luther plryslelan or? minute to iget the water out of the carbureter and start the engine again. Had it not been for the faulty pa saline, Dr. Roper would have finished with a perfect score. VNo Wins First Prize, In addition to the sweepstakes trophy, Dr.

Soper won the cup huna- up as first prize In his class. His good 'fortune In brinsitur down two of the best cups offered for the various classes demonstrates the possibilities of private owners competing mtccessfully in endurance runs with professional drivers, who make the circuit of such events. The Warren "40," pacemaker for the tour, was awarded tho trophy for Its class. R. O.

Gresham, local branch manager for the Warren factory, decided at the last moment to enter hia car, and the Warren acted In tha double role of pace maker and entry. The Warren took the burden for all the tire trouble on the tour, having started in the contest with a set of tires that had been used for many thousand miles. The fast time made by the car caused the casing to blow up se-'cral times. Tionliles Not Awarded. The Chalmers "3f." a 190n model, took the tirize in itn clnjis Th.

a-a. driven by August Gronau. The manner In which the old "Bluebird" went through tlie run wan credit to the man who handled the mo. chine. The Paige roadster waa awarded the trophy for first prize In Its class.

The same car and driver recently made a ood showing in the Buffalo endurance run In New York. With the exception of the sweepstakes cup, which is held by the winner each year, it has not yet been decided which trophies wil be awarded In the various classes. The White Pole Road association, promoters of the great white way from Des Moines to Omaha, contributed a beautiful stiver loving cnp. The Reg-Ister and Leader and The Evening Tribune donated a loving the trophies. Ralph Plumb of the Plumb Jewelry company hung up a.

cup for the contest. The other dally newspapers of Des Moines also gave trophies. UNEXPLAINED FIRE BURNS SKATING RINK Loss to Building and Contents, $25,000.

Th flames wero rot the re sult of lightning as the electrical storm did not commence until more than an hour after tlm first alarm was turned in at the central station. William Burnett, fire chief, turned In a second alarm within ten minutes after tho initial alarm, but tho tar roof, the heavy paper decorations on the Interior walls, and the combustible materials ot which the floor was composed made any headwuy In checking the flames almost impossible.

Ill" K. K. KILL'S. Two Jllscourl Valley conference football- teams were eliminated from tho reckoning ns championship possibilities for the season of 1M2 by Saturday's contests. Drake's victory over the Kaji.as eleven puts the Jayhawkers out of tlie running, and the doclslve manner In which tha Amos Cyclones disposed of Missouri's hopes leaves tho Tigers little to battle for except sectional honors.

Neither Nebraska or Washington university lias played a conference game ns Jot. Tho CornhuskerB woro hooked up Haturday with Minnesota and got a licking for their trouble. Wasnlngton played ft practice jima with Westminster college and smothered tho smaller school with a f4 to 0 score. The Ames victory wok not amc-vrpectcd. as the have been rated throughout the aon as a powerful combination, likely to be a factor in the fkht for leadership In the conference, while has not been jegarded highly by the critics.

Drake Victory a SiiiiiIm-. There Is no denying tho fact, however, that the result of the lrake-KanaH same was a distinct surprise, not only to the supporters of the Jayhawkor Institution but to the adherent of tho local school us well. Arthur fit. Logcr Mosae, coach of tlie Kansas eleven, had a wonderful Mtuad of material fi-om which to shape his team Rt the outset of tho season. He had an nbundam-s of beof for his line, much of it seasoned material, nnd a strong back field oomblnatlon.

Persistent reports had fieen njade from Iawrenc ami Kansas of tho great team In process of could ruction. Drake supporters had hut little hope Haturday when tho same opened. The Jayhawkers loomed tip fifteen pounds to the man heavier than their opponents in the Bulldog Hue. which. In addition to being iiKht, was made, up In great pari or comparatively inexperieceu men.

There was no (tiiustlon about tlie back-flold or tho ends. Although a majority of the men who filled these positions were new to Missouri alley foottiul It has been an open secret for a year that Drake would have a hackfiold second to iiono In 1ho conference. The whole question of effectiveness rested on tho line. The line not only held when put to the tent, but outplayed tho Jayhawkers mun for man both from an offensive and defensive Kl-untlpolnt. They nmt only repulsed tho attack which Alosse had built eround his plunging hacks, but opened up gaping holes In the Kansas forward wall through which their own backs tore for consistent gains.

Griffith Kiitltloil to Credit. Poach John L. Griffith of Drake Is entitled to a great amount of credit for Haturduy'H victory. His work, in fact, cannot bo overestimated. ith but two Veterans around which to shape a line and a woeful lack of available material with which to.

fill the gaping hok-B ho built a rush lino which proved mora, than equal to 'tho tusk of turning buck what won touted as tho strotiKost combination Of forwards In the conference. Superior physical condition, and a better knowledge of football are the two primary reasons for the undoubted superiority of tlie Itrako forwards. Not a Drake player left the gamu until tho third quarter was well under nay ami both of the players removed then could htive continued. Coach Mouse made no lews than a dozen substitutions. Tho HulldoKH displayed a greater ltriowlcdgo of football 'throughout the mune, They charged and blocked better than their opponents, handled the ball with greater aivurocy, ran with more JinUcment, covered kicks better and tackled more cleanly.

Tonight fodoli Urlfflth will wtart the JtulldOBS at work In preparation for the next Missouri Valley name which will ho played at W. Louis tigtilnst Washington university one week from Haturday. Drake has three conference names yet on tho schedule, Washington, Missouri mid Ames remaining to be played. Tho contests with the two first named schools lire 'hut one week aiwirt, the tlrst belli scheduled for Ht, Louis on Nov. 2.

A few days ago C. R. Scrogrgie, editor of tho Midland Schools, was quoted in The Heslster and Leader as Indorsing the action of the state board of education in restoring Cedar Falls to Its former status as a normal school. Instead of a colleite, and consratulatlnif the state on havltis at least one school to train teachers, oiling attention to the fact that every other state has from four to seven, and that low-a is forty yeurs behind her sisters.

Tho Cedar Falls Record -st once assailed Mr. Serossle, chanting him with being oposed to Dr. Seerley's institution because rund teachers' employment bureau, and calling lilni a soro head competitor. "This," said Mr. v-rnsgle last night when hU attention was called to the Cedar Falls paper attack, "is a sample of the sophistry and mlsrepreseniaiion used by ovrrzealous friends of state Institutions that have been permitted hy boards of regents to overstep thnlr bounds.

According to tint Record own logic, Ave more stato normals woidd put nil teachers' HKencles out of business In flowa. The fact is that nay business is, primarily, publishing- the Midland Schools. I have for years editorially advocated the establishing of ntorts statu normal schools. In order to provide an tnteincent teaching force for Ihe wehools of this state. 1 have done so unseltishly, knowing that my business would be Injured In the advo cacy.

"I neither know nor care how many teachers: are placed through tho office at Cedar Falls. 1 do know, howover. that Iowa needs a better trained teaching force, and would have had more stats normal aohools long ao had It not been for Just such opposition as Is revealed In the article In the Cedar Fall Record. Some of tho partisan friends of some of our state) institutions Beem to bo unable tn credit anyone with an honest motive. The people of Iowa can no longer he frltthtrncd with mo cry ot -iranor or neiiish crafter' when an honn.it effort Is made to raise the standard of the teach ing force of Iowa, ir I had aesiren to increase my agency nuinMs in veuar Vails.

I should certainly not have adopted a critical rnjlicy. as anyone with a trace of sense, even the writer of th artlchv in the Cedar FhIIs Record, should readily see. Personally. I am anxious to i see the state nonowi nnuw. vc.

Falls prosper, but snoiua also no pieoeu to see them in the interests of education in Iowa in favor ot me esiamisniueiu ui at least five more normal schools. More normal schools will hurt my the public welfare is more Important than the Interests of any man or any Institution." Hahm thvnMfrl. llf tnff.Wnff fffttYl I tB-rh 1lra. UiKlant. tileamnt relief.

Beauty Lecture at the Berchel theatre this afternoon at 2:30 Who has not heard of Madame Yale and her wonderful science of Beauty Culture? So closely associated has Madame Yale's lifework been with Beauty Culture as to make her very name synonymous with beauty To say that she has been a sincere, conscientious worker, in the right direction, only mildly expresses her untiring efforts in a work that she believes to be akin to religion. The cleansing and enhancing of the human body, the temple of life, is to her a sanctifying act that all women should lend their very best energies to in behalf of moulding present and future generations. Although the love of beauty is innate in all women, before seeing and hearing Madame Yale, interest has seemed like a mere spark to be ignited by her flame of genius and inspiration. It is therefore desired that every woman and girl who can scure a ticket will attend the wonderful entertainment to be given by Madame Yale on this occasion at the Berchel theatre. Tickets should be secured at once in order to get good seats.

They are unconditionally free. YnokrBiBtlias.
