These scholarships are for boys who are planning to begin study this fall at Ames. The scholarships which have been awarded for the past 11 years, are intended to encourage boys of outstanding ability to continue their education in agriculture.

Application blanks are available at the Federal Land Bank Assn, office in Algona, and from vocational agriculture instructors, high school superintendents, and county extension directors. Eleven juniors, and seniors from the local high school were in Ames Wednesday to attend Prospective Teachers day at the college. They were accompanied by Miss Katharine Sorensen, guidance counselor. On reaching Ames they went to McKay Hall where Dr Ray Bryan, head of the Education department, gave a talk on Why Teach. In the afternoon tours of the university were taken.

Students going were Trudy Bartholomew, Ruth Benschotery Allen Bode, Tom Hanni, Diane Malu'eg, Larry Pratt, Patty Schulzj John Schutter, Ann Seger, Marilyn Skbw, and Vicki Steil. taw broken in car accident Mrs H. D. Clapsaddle, injured in a one car accident near Dubuque a week ago, was brought to St. Ann hospital here by plane Monday after several days in a Dubuque hospital.

She was en- route to Willoughby, to help care for her daughter Jill'si husband, recuperating from a car wreck in which he had a crushed kidney, crushed vertebrae and chest injuries. Mrs Clapsaddle's accident happened on a curve when she attempted to brake the car and hit the accelerator instead. Saws finger but hardly noticed it Fenton A Fenton man cut off a finger while at work Tuesday and at the moment didn't know it happened. John Haack was cutting some 2 4s when he noticed blood an electric saw.

It was from his left hand. He had cut off the tip of his middle finger. "I don't know just how it happened it didn't hurt," Haack said. An Armstrong physician trimmed the finger down to the first joint, Haack is a veteran employe of Hantelman building. around the coming Bancroft woman to write new column for Advance Another new feature has been added this week as the Advance proudly announces a new column For the time being" by Mrs Marian Inman of Bancroft.

The new column will appear regularly in the Advance. As the name'indicates it is a substitute for the former Advance column, "Everyday Echoes" by Fran Brien of Whittemore. Mrs O'Brien regretfully dropped her column "for the time being" this fall when she assumed a teaching position at Sentral high school Mrs Inman has a long history of writing and traveling and the Advance feels her new column will be a popular feature for this newspaper. Mrs Inman has been writing a monthly library column for the Bancroft Register and has also submitted a regular column in the Catholic newspaper "Globe" called "Pot-Pourri," In addition, she serves as public relations chairman for the Sioux City Diocesan Catholic women She also wrote a weekly column, The State Chairman Speaks when she served in that capacity for the Iowa Farm Bureau Women several years ago. Welcome to Mrs Inman and we hope our readers hke our new addition.

It is just another way the Ad- yance can add reading pleasure for our Kossuth circulation, which is now larger than any other publication in tlws area! ister admitted Algona was best in football in 1916 Five members still live in Algona (This is the first of a series, three articles telling of three unbeaten Algona school footballs teams in years 1916, and 192fc Stories on the 1925 and 1927 teams will appear coming, weeks.) By Julian Algona high school began playing football in the year 1904 and one of the wins that year was a 5-0 victory over Eagle Grove. No records are available for games played during the years from 1904 to 1911 but after that, the Algona school fielded winning teams in every year until 1914 and 1915 when the locals 1 ended wth 2-4 and 4-4J records. Although a good team was expected in 1916, few could visualize that after eight victories and one tie Algona would be acclaimed as state champions'of Iowa. The season opened on Sept. 30'against a strong Ames high school team.

Christy McCormick Was at the helm of the Algona club and Supt. of Schools Overmeyer reported in, the Advance of Sept. 27: "The Ames boys live in a football (that of the state college) and we therefore naturally expect them to be the foQtbjMl 1 i i i This 1 was the second year that the Athletic park had been used for football, recalls Algona plumber Ray Irons, who was one of the starters on that famous club. The game, reported by C. B.

Laird in the Advance of Oct. 4 ended in a 0-0 draw. This was the only blot oh, an otherwise perfect Algona record. The locals dominated the second half and were stopped on the Ames four-yard line near the finish. Laird reported the Algona defense was excellent and this was only because it was stres- ed far more than the offense.

Coach McCormick believed the defense was the key to the game. Incidently his assistants were Ed Adams and the late "Chuck" Nicoulin. THE NEXT GAME was little more than a scrimmage for Algona as it crushed a light Burt team 61-0. And then the tough games started. The 7-0 win over Spencer the following week was termed a "hollow" one.

The first half ended 0-0 in that game and the Algona play was "erratic." The report said: "Gloom an inch thick shrouded the admirers of the locals between Wen French counted Algona's only touchdown from the two-yard line as the inspired Spencer team battled furiously. The second and last game away from home was played the following week against Emmetsburg and Algona won 20-0. Angus Cotton and Frank Holtzbauer gained much of the ground in this one with excellent interference credited with paving the way. Cotton scored two of the touchdowns and French the other. NEXT UP was a strong Mason City team which promised to give the locals all they could handle.

But the game turned into a walkaway as the locals avenged defeats the previous two years with a 38-0 rout at the Athletic field. One of the stronger teams in the state, West Des Moines, had beaten Mason City, the week before and the locals were out to top that margin. The report after the game said: "The locals took advantage of every Mason City misplay and there were several. Mason's open play and foxy formations, of which so much had been heard in the 'dope', proved in, most cases to be hopeless against the Algona huskies. Line smashes in the first half seemed Mason's surest but after 'Mac' and 1916 team one of Algona's greatest THESE ARE THE BOYS who carried Algona high school to its first state championship in football back in 1916.

Adams had 'gone over' the local team between halves, even this attack failed to gain ground." Thirteen members of the team were cited for fine play in this game. Webster City was next to feel. the Algona wrath and the Lynx fell, 33-0. The report by Laird said that Algona" marched down the field tfSmtfte had the ball and after that it played as if it were a shame "to take the money." "Interference was lacking and the play as a whole was slow, suffering perhaps from the bug of overconfidence." SNOW COVERED the Athletic park for the next game but Humboldt was smothered by Algona 33-0. The visitors gave the locals "little trouble from the first whistle to the last." Humboldt did not make a single 1st down in the contest and only one time did she gain more than five yards, that once coming in the last quarter on a pass." This was the report by Mr.

Nine added inter-city lines are being provided, Claude said. More call handling equipment is needed in each onice, he added. As soon as the work in each community is completed users will be informed of the new calling procedures, Claude said.
