FOUR WILLAMETTE MENAREAIE STARS Coach Bailey of Albany Selects Non-Conference Star Team Four Willamette men have found places oh the All-Star Non-Conference football team for the 191G season, which has just passed into history. ' oaeh Edward Bailey, of Albany col lege, ..because of his neutral position, has chosen the team. Among the col lege represented are Willamette Uni versity, Pacific University, Mt. Angel oilege, and Albany college. Ooach Bailey named the non-conference all-ifar last year and his selec tions proved to be just and fair. He admits the picking of the team this year was difficult on account of the lack of players of exceptional merit. Coach Bailey said: ''Ag captain of the team, am with out doubt the bast man ou any nou conference team, I havo selected Orosvenor, of Willamette. His open field ruuniug, punting, headwork ami all around -ability demonstrate clearly that he is conspicuously fitted for the position.' ' 'Tico, " as he. is known by the foot ball fans, was the most consistent ground gainer of the Willamette team for this season and had tt-not been for him the scores against Willamette's old rivals would have been gttatly les sened. When "Tied" was in nie game the team had confidence and the root ers had confidence and yardage was gained. Hs is a whirlwind of energy when he plunges the line and is as elusive as an eel when he strikes through a scattered field with the ball tucked under his arm. He is the only man who has equalled the famous runs of Ralph and Luke Kader when they played o Willamette's team. So the choice of ("odi Bailey of Grosienor for the position of captain on the non conference all-stars is especially ap propriate. . Concerning Rexford and Ratliffe, both of Willamette, Coach Bailey says: "The line positions are more bitterly contested, the most conspicuous super iority going to the two Willamette ends) Rexford and Ratliffe. Rexford in particular is entitled to all-star selection as being the greatest defen si ve plaver. ' ' He gives a tackle berth to Tobie, of Willamette, .011 account of his aggres siveness, speed, and good weight. The following is the Xou-eonfercnce AU-star team as picked by ('each liailev: Smith, of Pacific U., center. Krebs, of Mt. Angel, guard. Tohles, of Albany, guard, r.ivesav. of Pacific .V, tackle. Tobie, of Willamette U., tackle. Rexford, of Willamette U.. end. v Ratliffe, of Willamette U., end. Kasbberger. Mt. Angel, quarterback. Was. of Pacific V.. fullback. French, of Albany College, halfback. AMONG THE SPORTS THE COUNTRY OVER . t - Coast League Schedule Given Out Next Month Tenuis Warbhngs Chicago, Dec. 9. Fans were specu lating today whether Joe Tinker would be willing to stay with the Cubs after his retirement us manager. ' President Weeghman has offered to take care of Tinker when he is replaced as pilot, probably at his old job at shortstop or possibly as coach or csout. "Tinker will be taken care of by the Chicago National league club iu some capacity, Weeghman said. At no time did I want to part company with Joe, but some arguments have been ad vanced in ftivor of infusing new blood in the club and there is a possibility that a successor to Tinker will be an nounced Tuesday or Wednesday in New York." , " . Tinker had little to say- after his meeting with Weeghman yestcrdaj-. "1 jam anxious to know what to expect so ,that I can look out tor myself before lit is too late," was his only remark.

Talk of a base ball players' strike in the event that certain things are not done is rampant in tb I... I, l..,at..,ll -llAU. . . evs today. David L. Eultz's demands! ou behalf of the fraternity ; Pan John ston's declaration of war, and his sug gestion that salaries be made lower, have made an ideal setting for such chatter.

In fact, it has been stated by Fultz that be would go to such lim its if necessary to carry out somo of his most cherished plans. But there is no liklihood of such a thing taking place. The magnates simply would not permit it and the baseball players would not carry it that far It's rair sized blutl on each side, with the odds in favor of victory for neither. To. close the gates of the baseball parks, as has been threatened by sev eral of our leading moguls, would mean finuueial annihilation for soma of them. Of course, there will bo, the argument that organised baseball would stand istanchly by the short fellows. But when the recent till' with the Federal league is considered it. doesn't seem quite possible that the magnates would enjoy flinging out a few woro eoins to join the ghosts of those who walked the plank during the troublous reign of James Oilmore. And it would be the funniest thing in the world to see the star ball player trying to earn money doing something Bucharest, Captured i Bukharest, the capital city of Rou- mania. captured by the Teutonic armies of Fnlkeiihayn and Mfukenseii, offered the biggest municipal prize in the Bui kans.

Plan lor Salem Outlined. f To the school children of Salem, I am i going to w rite a slory about you and I for you- In that slory I shall suppose ; you have ilpne certain things, which I ; think Vou can do. and which 1 hope you will do. We nil! suppose the story total a cost be written in the year 1920, and that squabs W it is telling what was done in the lour ! years between 1910 and 1920. When the schools commenced in 1910 the pupils organized as follows: The children in each school room formed a city government, and elected from their own ranks, a mayor, who, appointed all necessary officers. Bach building became a state, and the .pupils chose from the highest grade a governor. All the states formed a country. The president was chosen from the senior high school us follows: Any pupil in the city could put in nomination any one in the senior high. He puts on paper the name of his candi date and the reason why he was chosen and after the matter had been talked ; over called for signatures. If a majority of the citizen" "' city signed, the proposition was pre sented to the state, and if the state 'voted aye the country then took a ; vote. Tlw candidate became i. resident when Vor signed the paper, and all opposed rf trained from doing so. When a majority jof his city signed the paper, the mat- ter was voted upon in the same way bv all the school, and when a majority of Jhe pupils in the school had signed, the paper was rend and voted upon by all 1 the pupils in the country, I Ajl papers with the signatures of 'those voting wen- kept on file so that the action of every child on every pi- position made could be ascertained V v A few days after the orgnnizatb n had been effected one of the pain -handed to his teacher the following: U solved, That it would be to the inti i est of this socictly to form a stock mi pany, making the par value of the stie i. one dollar per share, allowing pupils purchase one share each, and leaehc land other school officials 10 shaiit aeh. Those purchasing titork will pev- 10 per cent cash and as nun h more : they can, and pay the balance as fast ; -convenient. At the close of school in the after noon the teacher read the paper. . -plained the matter to her pupils, si i alter it had been talked over, called for signatures. The vote was unanimous president, who with all due formam prepared copy for stock shares and al'. for bonds, which were to be sold to : 'I parties willing to boost the ;nterprbc. On each shure of stock and en en- h, bond was printed thi following: AV this company is composed of minors if, cau not be legally incorporated, and no-' tice is hereby given that purchaser I bonds or stock have no security exttspt their confidence in the ability and bo - or ot tne naiein. sennni cnnnrcn. Aim i tour thousand pupils bought stock mid most of the teachers invested also. T'r pupils payments averaged a little bvei 20 cents a share cash thus giving t e teachers, ami soon the children in creased the amount by selling bonds; At first one who purchased bonds re garded the amount pa'ul as a gift to tie society rfd not by any moans as :l" vestment, but the children soon ptoved their ability and honesty by paying the five per cent interest and the principi I as it became due. Applied to Industry. The first important industry engaged in by the children vvas the pigeon lio ness. One of the pupils found iu in old paper the following: About 20vvcai ago there lived in Los Angeles a yOUIJg man who had no steady employment, ami less than three hundred dollars ready money and with this small capital he commenced the pigeon business. . n the lot he occupied. The business soon outgrew the roiea he had and he look a large tract along side the Los Angeles river in the city. Tn a few years after hi-s rcmovnl ho was feeding the pigeons more than two and one-half tons of wheat a day nrd had a net income of over twelve hud dle. I dollars per month. This account Was handed, to the preri denl and he appointed an itivesticatii ( committee consisting of one pupil rri each state. Report of the committee. On page 074 in the Farmers Cyeji pe.lia of live stock, we find the f. I lowing: A pair of pigeons produce ?rom five to 12 pairs of squabs per year al a cost of about one dollar.

The plan is to send east and get the running gear for a. quantity o'f coaster wagons, put the bod ies on Sere and sell them al cost to pupils on the installment plan. Those purchasing wagons will havi a district around their homes which I ley will go over every day and colled table refuse. All families will be asked to pat. in a box furnished tltcm, anything that will have value as food for pigeons 'r other fowls, or for pigs. As we expsstt to gr much more refuse than the fowls will cat, we. have considered the pig. bus! ncss. People from the far eastern st;ites ti 'I us that almost every family there ke. p one or more pigs. The pigs are bong! I ill the spring, when about six weeks old ami put in a little pen which they nev r leave until cold weather in the fa", when they dress from 250 to 300 pouio'i each. We advise the purchase of plgi enough to eat all the table refuse t'-e fowls cannot use. We can have the use of the grove not to Mission street on the Bush properly. Here we can have pens for pigs and Or fowls of all kinds that prove profitabte. We have found a number of buildinui that we can have free if we will wreck them and remove the lumber. With lur ber obtained, we can construct nil the buildings needed at first. As every pupil will act as an agent to -ell eg..-, fowls, and other things, we anticipate no trouble in finding a market at good prices for anything we have for sale. (Continued on jago three.)
