BUSINESS WESTERN
GAME POSTPONED
Georgetown Field Is Too
Wet for Battle.

The game scheduled between Western
and Business on Georgetown Field yes
terday afternoon was called of by the
Western High School athletic director.
as the field was in poor shape, and the
Red and White eleven did not want to
play. Business was ready to start the
battle.
1t is more than likely that the game
will be played "Wednesday, either on the
Cathedral School gridiron, or at Union
League Park. Business is anxious to
play, while Western would welcome
little delay, SO as to get the new COM
bination working together.
Georgetown field is out Of the ques-
ton for the battle next Wednesday. as
with he Tech-Central game Tuesday. the
field will be in such poor condition that
the game between Georgetown and Le-
high will have to be staged on a bad
gridron.
Should the Western team consent to
play Wednesday. and Coach Nielsen re-
fuse to allow the teams to meet on the
Hilltop, then Cathedral Schools field will
be named as the place.

GALLAUDET PLAYS
MARYLAND AGGIES
Fierce Battle Promised On
College Park Gridiron.

A battle royal is promised at College
Park. Md, when the two ancient rivals,
Gallaudet and Maryland Agricultural
College. line up against each other this
afternoon at $50 o'clock for the final
game of their football schedules.
The Aggies have showed marked i'm
provement in the last few weeks, and
should give the crippled Gallaudet team
a hard battle, although the Bun and
Blue warriors often show up unexpect-
eddy we'll in spite of absence of star
players. Gallaudet will probably use the
same lineup as that which started
against Washington College last week.
The probable lineup: Left end. Farqu-
har: left tackle, Miller; left guard, Du-
rian; center, Decker; right guard, Ar
ras: right tackle, West Ccaptain). right

Boston, Nov. 24-Yale and Harvard will

in a sea of mud or upon morass. A
matter of 5000 or 10000 visitors dropped
in this morning, and are still dropping
tonight.

Of them are for one side or the other,

the experts, but $4,000 peOple--easily SO,oc-
have come from all points of the COM
pass to see It,
There is not as much betting on tht
game to-day as usual probably due TO
the fact that the New Haven men were
pretty we'll cleaned out by the Princeton
students last Saturday. The Yale men,
however managed TO dig up some ready
cash and placed every cent OF II In hopes
of getting back some of their losses OF
a week ago. Although there was Har-
ward dollar for every Yale quarter, the
Crimson supporters insisted on getting
odds of 10 to s. and in some Instances
demandd 10 to :. The favorable reports
from Yale ahead during the past Few
DAYS probably made the visiting eleven
the favUrItes.
Hard Game Expected.
Among the real followers Of the game
to-morrow's struggle is expected to be
even harder fought than last season
Yale appears TO have gained many
| friends by the showing in the Princeton
! game.
Given a dry field last Saturday. the
general impression is that Yale would
have beaten the Tigers by n comfortable
margin. Hereabouts this is regarded as
an Indication that Yale Is stronger than
Harvard \ great many Yale rooters'
however overlook the fact that the 1ar-
ward team that was beaten by the Tigers

sItion before the game was one-Guarter
| over. and even with a substitute eleven
Johnny Harvard scored against the Jer-
sey aggregation by straight rushing. and
In other respects played much better
! football.
I At the ends. Harvard has the better
of the argument on paper. Smith and
FELTON, or O'Brien should be able to out
| play Avery and BOmeisler.
| At the tackles, Yale will have the bet
ter of it with Paul and Scully to face
| Hitchcock and StOrer. Storer played

Old SETTLER
LAID TO REST.
PETER kURTZ WHOSE FUNERAL
WAS HELD YESTERDAY CAME
TO WAPELLo CO. IN 1852.

| The interring Of the remains OF
Peter Kurtz in the family lot in the
Chillicothe cemetery yesterday,
marked the passing Of one of the old
est settlers Of Wapello county. Mr..
Kurtz came to this county in 1852, set
Ting on farm one and one-half miles
north of Chillicothe, where he resided
up to few weeks before his death.
His fifty-eight years residence in the
city made him one Of the early
pioneers. The deceased passed away
Wednesday at the home Of his son
Frank Kurtz near Chrisuanburg. The
services were held at the residence
yesterday conducted by Rev. G. w.
Barber of the Chillicothe Methodist
Episcopal church. A large funeral
cortege accompanied the remains to
the cemetery.
The deceased was born in Little
York, Pa, December 80, 1916, and was
81 years of age at the time of his
death. When about thirteen years old
he moved with his parents to West
Virginia. He was married to Miss
Lora H. Preston, in Hampshire county,
Virginia in 1910. They came to Wa
pello county in 1852. His wife died
nineteen years ago. To this happy
union of sturdy eastern people were
born twelve children, five of whom
survive their father.

PRISON REFORM WAS
TOPIC OF AFTERNOON

The Fortnightly club members at
their last meeting at the home of Miss
! Laura Garner, 424 East Second street,
participated in an interesting study of
, "Prison Reform" Mrs F. M. Hunter,
the leader, showed that there are two
reasons for the reformation of the
prison system in the United States =
first, the reformation of the criminal
himself and second, the safety OF
society There has been a great deal
done in this matter in the state OF
New York, but the most advance has
been made in Colorado. Suspension
of sentence" continued the leader,
"and probation are no longer matters
of experiment, but this principle has
been effectively tried in Massachusetts
and in France, Belgian and England.
The reformatory principle must be
everywhere applied and the grading
and marking system should be intro.
duced in all prisons. The period OF
confinement and discipline should be
followed by period of conditional re-
lease. No one should be absolutely
released until he has proven by per-
iod of residence In society his desire
and capability to live an honest and
law abiding life"
Mrs. F. B. Cresswell read a paper
prepared by Mrs. M. w. Christie on
"Prison Reform in Foreign Coun'
tries" Italy made the first step in
this direction in 1704 when Pope
Clement, XII founded st. Michael's hos
pital in Rome" said Mrs. CressWelL
"There is normal penitentiary
school in Rome where men who ex-
pect to become wardens or overseers
in prisons are taught the principles
Of prison discipline. Russia has ad-,
vanced to a surprising degree but IT.
is difficult to obtain definite informa-
ton here, because the Russian author
tiles will not allow any literature con-
corning the subject to be sent out OF
their country. Some years ago the
Japenese government sent representa-
tives to England; Germany and the
United States to study prison systems
and as q result many improvements
have been made in their country. IN
China conditions are bad. The sys-
tenn in Germany is much like that IN
the United States, where each state
has it's own plan. AS early as 1874
Louis XVI had separate prisons pro-
vided for men and women in France
and in 1886 they began to detaln
Juvenile offenders separately

New Way
-Of-
Selling Clothing

When one store offers to sell goods
at less price than competitors, the
natural question arises, How can it
be done?" -.1
Well, this the way: First, cut of
the terrible loss incident to credit
business. There are over 100000 lost
to Ottumwa merchants every year in
bad debts Cut it out Interest on
money invested in good and bad &C.
counts per year, over $4,000 unneces-
sary expense in doing business by rea-
son of too high rents and unnecessary
high priced help, an immense amount
and in many stores thousands of dol
lars invested for mere show purposes.
All these things make the goods cost
the customer more than is necessary,
and the firm that don't have these ex-
penses don't have to charge so much
for what is sold.
BY cutting out these losses and un-
necessary leaks, the New System
store can sell goods for much less than
those who follow the old method.
BY our system of taking orders, half
our goods, are sold before they ar
rive in the store and there is no ac-
emulation of old or out of style
goods, nor money invested in goods on
the shelf
We are simply the manufacturers
agent and deliver the goods from the
to you without the I'M
necessarily high merchants profit.
This is the New Way. Try it and
see how you like it. 1t will be pleas
ure to look over our thousand samples.
Try the New System Clothing Parlors
for the next suit. Have it built ex-
pressly for you individually. Come and
make your selection from (S500,000),
five hundred thousand dollars worth of
cloth. Suits all wool made any way
you want them made from $3.50 to
$4,000. A suit at any price you want
to pay-$3.50 to $500.
