HEAVYWEIGHTS TO SHOW
 THEIR BEST GAME.
McIntyre's Team Will Go Up Against
 the Academy Saturday.

When the Heavyweights and the Academy clash for supremacy on the next Saturday a battle royal can be expected.
 Coach Mack is very much encourag- ed with the team work shown by the Heavweights in their last practice and hopes to be able to keep the squad in tiptop condition. so that at the end of the fourth period he can have the Academy'S scalp dangling at his belt With the exception of the injuries contracted by Super and Grady in practice last Saturday every man on the team is in first class condition.
 This will be the first time these two local teams have met, rain having in terfered when other games were scheduled. and the boys are very eager to settle the championship of the city, which can depend on the outcome of this battle.
 Manager Slim Mcintyre has the fol- lowing band of warriors to face Cap tain Gebrath's squad on Saturday, and is sure that the team will live up to its reputation among the fast ones.
 The center position will be filled by Corey, whose record for accurate pass ing and line bucking has yet to be surpassed.
 J. Quinn and Henderson are booked to look after the guard positions, and both can be relied on either on the defensive or offensive
 Jupes Mcintyre and Rydholm will be in the tackle positions, and as both are very speedy are expected to make the crowd sit up and take notice Jupes is due to pull off his 100 yards in 10 seconds stunt if such occasion arises.
 For the end positions Popham and Sweeney have been chosen and these two positions will be well looked after if speed and cleverness denotes any thing. Popham is one of the deadliest tackles on the team, and beware to the team that tries any of it's forward passes with him in the lineup. Swee- ney, who acted in the capacity of cep-. tain last season, can be relied upon to take care of his position on the other end.
 In the backfield the Heavyweights have one of the fastest and trickiest bunch of football warriors that can be found in the city, and under the gen. eralship of Doc Gadle, who will run the team at quarterback, the best that is in them will be brought out. With Su-

SHIFTS MADE IN HARVARD LINE.
Captain Fisher from Guard to Tackle
 Squad Practices Trick Plays.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 7.-Several important changes in the lineup of Harvards varsity football eleven were noted when the team was put through scrimmage today.

Willetts was tried out at fullback with Hunt ington.
 Practice today was of simple order. A blackboard talk preceded light scrimmage. The squad was then taken to the baseball cage, where several trick plays were practiced.
 One of the Harvard coaches said to- day that it is the intention of Head Coach Haughton to start a second team in the game with the Carlisle In dians next Saturday. First string play CTS will be called upon if necessary.

 1t has been thought that the great field for United States car builders in the export trade was in Canada and in England and European countries. The manufacturers, however, appear to be finding a better market in other parts of the world than in Europe, for dur ing the first eight months of this year the exports of American cars to South America exceeded in value those to either France, Germany or Italy, and the exports to British Oceania were not far behind those to the United Kingdom.
 This is the season of year when a great many motorists are preparing to lay up their cars for the winter and in order to aid them in putting the tires away properly, an authority says: When you lay up your car for the them carefully with soap and water, and then wrap them in a strip of pa per or cloth. Store them in a dark place which is kept as nearly as pos sible at temperature of 50 degrees If the tires are to remain on the wheels for a considerable length of time when the car is out of service, jack up the wheels and leave only about five pounds of air in each tIre.''
 Now that the fall of the year is here and the weather is likely to be wet and the roads slippery, a few hints on how to prevent or at least retard Sklddlng might be of some use says Motor Age. The most common error of most experienced motorists is that when the car begins to skid, instead of releasing the brakes and perhaps ap- plying the power. the brakes are i'm mediately set or more strongly applied When driving over a wet or sandy country road at a fair rate of speed, the car generally can be straightened up after 1t starts to skid by keeping the front wheels pointed in the desired direction or straight ahead, and imrne- .diately applying as much power to the rear wheels as pJssible. When driv- ing in the city, on a smooth wet as- phalt pavement, one's only chance for safety lies either in the use of chains or in approaching all crossings with care Above all things, should a quick stop be necessary, apply the brakes gently, very gently so as not to lose the little traction grip that the rear wheels may have on the road surface.

we must not be surprised at the
great difficulty in promoting temper

when we recall what a strong hold the
habit of using intoxicants had upon
our English and American ancestors

almost every home where the family

Not many considered it a very great
disgrace to be under the influence of
liquor, although hard drinkers were
apt to speak with contempt of those
who had limited capacity and were
speedily overcome.
J. Far back beyond those early days,
In the old country our ancestors made
free use of beer and spirits. These
beverages were taken as matters of
course.
The consumption of beer in an ordi-
nary home was enormous. Besant in
his London" tells of a family where
Il quarts were taken daily, nearly 3
quarts for each person. I'VE must
remember that there was no tea, that
people would not drink water if they
could get anything else, and that small
beer was the national beverage, taken
with every meal and between meals,
and that the allowance was at each
ones own discretion" As late as

Drinking in England in the 18th

Gin had grown to be the favorite

pie, some of whom spent much of their
wages in the fiery stuff that brought
speedy intoxication.
When we think how extensively in
toxicants were employed and how the
old-time usages of the mother coun-
try were transferred to this land, and
how general during the colonial Pc

was the free use of liquors, we must
not be discouraged at the slow prog

AVERA.

Avera, Miss, Dec. 25. l910.-As
feel thankfal that we have been bless
ed and life has been spared through
another II months to see an other
blessed Christmas Day and beauti-
ful Sabbath morning, will write a
few lines to the Herald.
There has been a goodlv number of
Christmas days pas sed by us and
gone. Some have been very bright
and happy and some very sad dark
and gloomy, and still we are by the
mercy of God on pleading terms with
him. We don t know why God lets
us stay here but he has some great
purpose, so we should not let an op-
portunity pass without doing all the
good we can saving our own souls
and trying to help some one else save
theirs. If we have relig Oh we should
prove it by our acts and deeds.
Yes boys l say to let. do away
with all the worthless dogs that pill
fer and loaf all over the country e.ss
pecially such ones as go to &C. Balls,
that kills so many chickens and
scratches up all the gates by the
roots and eats SO much grub, But
alack and alas we havn't t all got such
dogs. | have one that | wouldn t
give in exchange for G.. C's. % head
of sheep; he don't kill chickens nor
scratch up the gates and eats but
very little grub; when he wants to
get out of the yard he just jumps
the piclets. Now you know | have
IA nice black dog when he is exempt
from all the above failings. Ii g. G.
Ball will spend next Christmas with
me | will show him some hogs that
don't need d buggy whip 10 keep
them off of him, and if he will go
with me in my cornfield some morn
ing IN July he won't think all the var
ments have been caught in steel
traps.
There are but few things that have
caused as much sin as sheep; they
have caused men to quarrel and peo
pie to be accused of stealing, caused
men to be sent to prison and cause'
hog after hog to be killed that va
innocent and very valuable, while W
know that God in his wise creatio
| made sheep, hogs and dogs for use

If everyone that own sheep woul
