Stroudsburg, Nov. SO. Some years ago the Monroe county farmer consid ered the vallif- of his corn rrijn prac tically concluded with the husking of the corn. What was left was worth, perhaps, sixty cents an aero as fodder, rather under that figure than over it, as a rule. Science, ever busily seeking uses for by-products, sought to make sugar and alcohol from the stalk of the corn, but unavalllngly. Now, however, experiments along dif ferent lines have established the value of the by-products of the corn crop as probably second to no agricultural pro duct of a similar nature grown in this country, and has almost, If not quite, doubled the receipts of tho corn grow ers, as the stalk Is made practically as valuable as the grain. There is now a home market where the farmer can get from 13 to $5 a ton for cornstalks: that Is, from $6 to $12 nn acre for what has hitherto brought him in sixty cents at best.

THOMAS BOYS ONLY ONE TOUCHDOWN MADE DURING THE WHOLE GAME, Bagley, the Clover Loft Halfback of tho Visltjng Team, Carries the Ball Over In the Last Half After a Series of Hard Bushes Gnmo Was Hard Played from Start to Finish. Three Seranton Lads on the Villa Nova Team Distinguished Them selves Flfteon Hundred Persons Attend. An Ideal day for a football game was yesterday and as a result nt 3 o'clock a huge crowd thronged Athletic park, to see the big Thanksgiving game be tween Villa Nova college nnd tho strong St. Thomas eleven. Fully 1.G00 persons were on the grounds. The crowd was kept well In hand by a um ber of policemen present, and it was only towards the end of tho game that the spectators thronged on the Meld. The game stnrtcd promptly nt :i o'clock, when Left Tackle llannahue kicked off for St. Thomns. Culllnan caught It for Villa Nova, but was downed before he could make any ma terial gain. Villa Nova started off with a rush, Hagley and Kuno being shot into the lino for successive good gains, Hagley, the big halfback, then scored the first sensational play of tho day, by taking tho pigskin under his nrrr. and dashing down the 1e1d for a good thirty yards. It looked as though he would score a touchdown, but Forbes sprinted for him and brought him to the ground by a beautiful tackle. St. Thomas now took a biace and held the Villa Nova men for four downs. They could not make much Impres sion against the Villa Cs'ova defense, however, nnd Hannahue was forced to kick. Culllnan was downed without any gain. St. Thomas now again re covered tho ball and once more kicked. The Villa Nova man who attempted to catch the oval ilroppcd It and Dick Klrkwood fell en tho pigskin for St. Thomas. O'Horo now smashed the Villa Nova line for ten yards, and was followed by Klrkwood. The latter was given the ball nnd made one of tho most sensational runs of the day. He skirted the Villa Nova light end, and had covered thirty yards before he was thrown heavily to the ground. ( KICKING ALL AROUND. Now came a play which caused a good deal of unnecessary argument and bickering. Center McDonnell snapped the ball back and before Quarter-back Forbes could pass It, a Villa Nova player downed him In his tracks. Re feree rteamlsh decided that It was foul playing Innsmuch as the ball had not been passed to a third man. There fore it remained In St. Thomas' posses Ion. Villa Nova now recovered the ball and proceeded to carry it up the field by a series of terlllc, fierce line-plunges, and fnst end-plays. Hagley was the bright particular star In this play ing, taking the ball for good gains on nearly every occasion thai his signal was glvtn. Time was called with Villa Nova dangerously near the St. Thomns goal. For the second half a change was made In the Villa Nova line-up, by Kagan taking Seizor's place at right tackle. Culllnan kicked off for Villa Nova and sent the leather a terrific distance Into St. Thomas' territory, It landing out of bounds. St. Thomas now started towards the Villa Nova goal, and O'Horo was called on tlnn after time to hurtle the Villa Nova, line. Again and again the hard play ing fullback smashed Into his oppon ents' defense and on each occasion made good gains. Villa Nova finally gained the ball and started to rush it Into St. Thomas territory. THK ONLY TOUCHDOWN. Ragley took tho pigskin down the field for ten yards, Kane dashed fierce ly around the end for eight nnd at last the ball was on the St. Thomas flften-ynrd line. Here Left Guard Donahue was forced to retire from tho game and McCnnn tool; his place. Rjg ley now galloped around left end for nine yards and with six yards to go for a touchdown, the St. Thomas line tried its best to withstand the fierce Villa Nova rushes, but Pagley was ngaln called on to take the ball, and this time crossed the line for the touch down. The ball was In a poor placo for a kick for goal, nnd Fullback Culll nan punted the ball out. It fell In Cen ter Foley's hands, but Ilarnahuo made a dive ut the latter to tackle him and as n result the ball was dropped. Um pire Nealon here claimed a foul, saying that his man was trying for a fair catch, and under such conditions it Is not allowable for an opposing player to tackle him. Referee Ueamlsh over ruled this, however, and therefore Villa Nova lost the kick. Score, Villa" Nova, 5; St. Thomas, 0. Hannahue kicked off for St. Thomns, and before tho Villa Nova, man could mnke any gain, O'Hara was down tho field and dropped him Just as he caught itilio leather. A lltjtlo later Hagley started up field on what looked like another long run. His attempt, how ever, was nipped in the bud by Forbes, who downed him In handsome fashion. A short while later time was called with the final score, Villa Nova, G; St. Thomas, 0. GAMK WAS VKRV ROUGH. The game was a fine one and full of hard playing from start to finish, It was probably the roughest game seen ut the park this season, Feveral of tho men uviiik coiisiijeiiioiy uaiiereu nni bruised by the fierceness of the work. Kvery man In the Held played n bril liant game, but the particular bright star of tho afternoon was Hagley, whoso ilerco dashes around the ends caused thrills to palpitate down tho backs of tho St. Thomas rooters, all afternoon. The thrco Scrnnton boys on the Villa Nova eleven (ill played In line style. Captain Nallln ut end, .Joe AVelr at quarter-back and Munley At left end, all distinguishing themselves. On the St. Thomas aide, Klrkwood and O'Horo played magnificent offen sive games, hurdling tho line and run ning the ends In a terrific manner. Thomas, the big guard who formerly played with Hucknell, mado his first appearance In a St. Thomas uniform and put up an excellent game.

Probably 21,000 persons saw tho game. The mighty right leg of Pat O'Dea, the Wisconsin captain and full back, was a big factor In the one sided score of 17 to 5, as he was re sponsible for ten of the points scored by his team. Once he lifted the ball cleanly between the goal posts from the 33-yard line and once his punt went ho far that McLean misjudged It and fumbling, gave Hyman a chance to fall on the pigskin behind Michi gan's goal posts, which he did. The other touchdown by WiHconsln was made on clear hard foot ball In the second half, tlK light but active line men from Wisconsin opening holes In the Michigan forwurds, through which Peele, Larson, Curtis and Ulalr plunged for big gains. Tho defensive work of the Wisconsin cloven was remarkable nnd time and again Sweely and Keena were forced to punt. Michigan's only touchdown was made by McLean In the second half after a beautiful run of forty-five yards. In which the lleetfooted Michi gan man cleared his field without dif ficulty. Other Oames.

Interesting Facts About n Most Popu lar Instrument. From tho St. Louis Olobc-Democrat. The lead pencil, tho most common of all writing implements. Is somewhat over two hundred years old. Tho term "lead pencil," however, Is a misnomer, us, In 11 mlneraloglcal sense, there Is not a particle of lead In Its composition. The lead pencil originated with the discovery of tho graphite mines In Knglund, In 16C4. during the rclgn of Queen nilzabeth. As graphite so greatly resembled galena, tho German name for which was blelglanz. It was given tho name of blel, or lead. In the early days of lead pencil making the graphite was sawed Into thin sheets and cut Into strips smaller nnd smaller until they were of a size to be cov ered with light wooden slips, and thus servo as pencils. The first pencils created much excitement. The graphite mines of Kngland were considered of Inestlmubie value, and were protected by law. nut there waH great waste first, In digging, for many of the pieces were too small for cutting, and again In tho manner of cutting tho graphite, which was so crude that half the ma terial was lost.
