--- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRANCE BELIEVES IN HER OLYMPIC TEAM European Nations are Actively at Work While United States Quarrels New York, Oct. 10 (United Press) —France apparently has a n唭ing notion that she has a good chance to win the Olympic championship it Homer Baker, one of America's best runners, who is now director of athletics in the Canal Zone, was in Paris recently and he applied for the position of coach of the French Olympic team. He was told politely that France was going to have a Frenchman in charge of her team, so that Americans could not take the credit away from a French victory with a comeback that an American coached them. Baker says that France has a couple of good runners coming up and one good hurdler. Sweden, according to reports, has been working a year with the Olympics in mind and after the present summer season will be ready to put a great team in the field, with two more years for further improvement. Sweden on the showing made at Antwerp will be America's most dangerous rival and a very formidable opponent. Improvement shown in field athletics in the Scandinavian countries was shown recently when Huff, a Norwegian, cleared 13 feet 6 inches in the pole vault and established a new world's record. The pole vault has always been considered Uncle Sam's pet little event. While all of the European nations are actively at work on the development of a 1924 Olympic team, the United States is all tangled up in a petty political fight over the management and selection of the team. Down at the bottom of the fight is a controversy between the Y. M. C. A, which seeks world-wide control of all sports, and the Amatur Athletic Union, which has made some mistakes in the past, but which has been generally successful on a very difficult job. Unless something is done, Uncle Sam is in for a bad disappointment at Paris in 1924. The opinion seems to prevail that all required is to get heads together about March 1, 1924, pick a team off the record books and hunt for a boat. To Determine Policy For Talks on W. D. A. F. W. D. A.F., the Kansas City Star's broadcast station, will send a representative, Mr. Leo J. Fitzpatrick, to a meeting in the Chancellor's office scheduled for 7:30 o'clock Thursday night. Tee meeting will be held for the purpose of determining the policy of the University of Kansas in regard to talks by members of the faculty for radio concerts. The Star has suggested that each lecture be short, consuming approximately ten to fifteen minutes; and that an effort toward greater impact of the subject was because of the large audience. Tonight it will be decided who of the tentative list of speakers will be chosen. The Kappa Sigma fraternity gave a dance at the chapter house Friday evening.

WOODEN PLOWPASSING AWAY IN OLD MEXICO Modern American Agriculture Implements Furnished to Mexican Farmer Now Mexico City, Mexico (By mail to the United Press).—The day of the wooden plow is passing. These implements are being sold by the government at cost and cheaper than they could be purchased by Mexicans from direct sources, because the government purchases the implements in large quantities. The saving to the farmers is very large. Through a government agency the most modern of American agricultural impairments are being furious with farmers, particularly the small farmer, The agency having charge of the implements is known as the commercial branch of the department of agriculture and operates solely to develop agriculture and assist the smaller farmers.

A special freight rate A full line of every modern implement is kept on hand and farmers are given time in which to make payments. Usually twenty-five per cent is paid when purchase is made but if the farmer cannot afford this he is given a certain time to make this initial' payment. At the present time there is approximately $2,000,000 worth of farm implements in government warehouses. The implements are generally purchased through representatives of American firms stationed in cities or rural areas taken care of by a special appropriation for the department of agriculture. A new plan is being projected, however, whereby an agricultural co-operative organization formed by a group of farmers purchases of the implements and will Sharpening wood pencils means loss of time and effort.

A word to the wise is sufficient You are missing something if you are not taking advantage of our 33rd Anniversary Offers in Men's Furnishings "Seventy Years of Service" Threesecore and ten years ago there was born in the Middle West—a railroad, conceived in the spirit of progress and dedicated to public service. That railroad was the Rock Island. It opened the highway of commerce across the Mississippi. Its coming brought in its wake the grain of the fields and the growth of the cities. It has been the Herald of Civilization, the Bearer of Learning, the Friend of Culture. As a pioneer, the Rock Island blazed the way for others to follow. Today, throughout the fourteen states of the Great Mississippi Valley served by this Railroad, thousands of employees and patrons are joining hands in celebrating the Seventieth birthday of the Rock Island and in rededicating the Railroad to the service of the future. It is Service. The Rock Island is your Railroad. With your continued co-operation our ambitions to serve can be realized and your requirements fully met.
