BIG FIVE
MA AYAGREE
IDEAS FOR RETTERING SPORT
ARE DISCUSSED
oecIdental's Prospect for Brilliant
Football Season Materially En-
haneed by Large Squad from
Which to Choose

If the roosters on the fence around
the various college football camps in this
part of the state are expecting a tumul-
tuous session for this season they are
doomed to- disappointment.
When the first noises of the gridiron
commenced to arise elements of squab-
BILE were discovered In the chaos. The
intercollegiate alliance was the cause OF
much discussion and anarchistic patrons
of the sport who had no real part in IL
themselves were rather hopeful of dis
sension and did their best toward the
promotion of turmoil.
Reports entirely without foundation
were circulated, in which Occidental and
Pomona were announced at swords points
with the rest of the high five, U. S. c.,
Whittier and st. Vincents The whole
controversy arose over the alliance whicn
Pomona and Occidental formed at the
end of last season, in which the malp
purpose was to form q unity among tins
colleges of the south which would elm
mate all forms of professionalism ana
bring about purely amateur competition
Occidental and Pomona now stand
firmly together on this basis and the other
institutions have been invited to come
into the association. Their intentions to
comply have been expressed and as soon
as the small points of argument in the
agreements can be arranged the five will
no doubt be enrolled.
1t goes without saying that all of the
institutions are in accord with the spirit
of the rules and any dissension that now
exists is purely subordinate to the main
issue, the betterment of intercollegiate
sport among the colleges of Southern
California.
Occidental Is now hard at work with
the likely squad that has turned out to
support the orange and black. This is the
most enthusiastic year in the history OF
the institution in the football line and
the only question barring championship
team picking is who is really best among
the candidates. Crane will probable cap
tain the team, as he is generally acknowl-
edged as the best man for the job. He
has played on the varsity for two seasons,
is athletic manager of the institution and
is an allaround athlete.
The election will be held some time this
week. Wieman, Petty and Johnson will
probably take care of the halves and
quarter Wieman is an old head and the
others have recruited from Los Angelec
high. Pelican Thomas and the Kellog
brothers have positions in view and are
showing up well, Many youngsters are
drawing attention, among whom Hillery,
10 is noticed. He Is rather light, but
playing fast game.
/. If the present exhibit of enthusiasm Is
kept up Occidental has the best show In
years for the pennant and lively aggre-
gation will be produced at the Presby-
terian factory.

BY Associated Press.
ESSEN. Germany, Sept. M;-The TEN
perance question was again discussed TO-
dav at the Socialist national convention
in this city. Only one vote was cast
against a resolution whose main feature ts e
was an expression of opposition 10 the
,,sa of alcohol in any form during work
ing hours, thus setting the full strength
of the socialist party against the ger.
man factory system of beer drinking at
regular intervals throughout the day.
In. many workshops the drinking OF
eight to ten pints of beer while the men
are at work is usual.
The nreyailing opinion among the dele
gates to the convention was that intem-
perance of the laboring classes VIII grad sr a.
nallv cease with the betterment OF their
the shortening of the hours Of
work and the abolition of night work.
The Bergman electrical works ,,,i, in Ber- r

Teachers Wages.

The weary and care-worn school
teacher will now enjoy a few weeks
OF much needed rest after a term of
eight or nine months of tiresOme
mental and physical labor. Many
persons who have had no experience
IN the teaching line seem to think
that any common school teacher,
whose wages are from $25 to $40 per
month, ought to make an independ-
ent fortune in short time. Let
such one stop and consider what
is expected of a teacher. In the
first place she is expected to be well
dressed at all times, which is no
small item of expense. She is ex-
pected to buy all the latest books,
and subscribe for all the popular
educational journals of the day; at
tend teachers meetings whenever
and wherever held, and to spend
from three to five weeks at an in
stitute during her short vacation.
All these requirements are attended
by no small expense, and the teach
els who comply with them will
find at the close of the year that
they have very small portion Of
their earnings saved up for a rainy
day."
Do not understand by the above
assertions that such requirements
are useless. But when it has
become almost absolutely necessary
for a teacher to attend all such
meetings as those who have super
vision over them shall appoint, it
should also be required Of the
board Of education and directors
that they pay their teachers such
wages as will enable them to attend
and have enough OF their earnings
left to last them until the school
term begins again.

w. C. T. U. Statistics.

The w. @. T. Union is steadily
moving on. Our last meeting, June
9Th was Equite interesting. After
the regular business was finished
we were entertained by the reading
Of some excellent extracts by the
members, some of which I will re-
peat here.
First we will see, according to
statistics) the actual cost of the ma
TONS liquor business for the year
of 1900 was 50, 8O4. 948, 900. The re-
venue from the traffic was $17, O00,-
900 or just one dollar out of every
SIC. so of the cost.
The people of the United State
spend $50, 100000 annually to
support the the churches of all de-
nominations. $175, 900, 900 for public
education; 1870, 900, 600 for flour and
81, 500, 100000 for Intoxicating
drinks.
The life insurance companies are
beginning to see, a difference be-
tween drinkers and abstainers.
The great fraternal orders are also
becoming anti-drink societies, large
ly because of the heavy insurance
risks known to be held in the
moderate drinker. During the past
year, the Odd Fellows of New York
state (Aug. Is. 1906 the Masonic
Fraternity of Kentucky (Oct. %,
1906 and the national conclave of
the order of the Knights of Pythias
at New Orleans in September adopt
ed iron-clad regulations barring
from their ranks drinkers and men
connected with the liquor business
in any way. Without one dollar
revenue from the saloon Maine has
larger percentage Of total popula-
ton in the public school than
New York with It's $50, 900, 900
revenue from the saloons, and more
teachers employed in proportion to
her school population than any
other state in the union.
In Kansas there are thirty-seven
counties without a case on the
criminal docket of the court calendar
and without a single occupant in
the jaiIs. Forty-four counties with
out pauper, and twenty-five coun-
ties without pauper or even
poor house. This extract is from a
Grant county boy written to his
mother.

country has been boiled down TO

What Kind Of a Bath Do You Takeq

Some people take regular killing
baths, while others nse dry flesh
brushes, coarse towels and the like,
but there is woman in Platteville
who gets the greatest satisfaction
out of a cOrncob. She rubs her
self every morning with fresh
cOrncOb and when she comes to
breakfast she looks as fresh and
rosy as 16-year. old girl.
That's nothing though, for there's
a woman in this town who messages
herself every day with a hubbard
SQUASH and then rubs herself down
with whale oil. When she comes
to breakfast she looks so beautiful
and sweet that the family doesn't
have to eat any sorghum on its
grid6le cakes. ladies, if you have
beauty hint that equals this let US
know
A pineapple is good, too, followed
by a curry-comb dipped in pure
dew. Our better half says she
knows of a BoscObel woman who
sleeps between sandpaper sheets.
Every time she rolls over she gets
massage. Just to make the scheme
work we'll, her husband recently
purchased twelve lively black ants
which she takes to bed with her
every might. The next morning
she gets up greatly refreshed, rolls
down Ia nutmeg CRATER and begins
the day as fresh as a mountain
daisy What kind of bath do you
take?
