STORAGE PLANTS
 PUT PRICES DOWN

Chicago, October 30-Cold storage plants are not factors of the high cost of liv- ing; rather they are contributors to lesser cost price of many necessities of life, If the declaration of Frank A. Horne of New York before the National Poultry, Butter and Egg association, be taken as a correct view of the economies of the food situation.
 Cries of cornering the market in yari- ous necessities and raising prices of commodities beyond the reach of the poor is utterly without foundation he said. Instead. we keep prices down at times when, formerly, certain edibles were un- obtainable by the poorer classes.
 High pfices at one period of the year because of storage plants simply means much lower prices than otherwise at ether times of the year,

DOugherity says that he is confident that the Frenchman will get the title '"A l0-round bout Is just the thing for Mandot," says the trainer. "Ad never gets into his stride until he's ham mered away for several rounds, ana .foe will never let him recover from the early stages"
 It is rumored that Mandots friends are trying to make up a big pool to pit against Wolgast's money. It is doubtful whether they will be able ts raise the amount asked for, however
 We will have no trouble raising s5000 or s6000 to bet that Mandot stays the limit" said one of his friends recently" and If Ads supporters are sn confident we would like to hear what odds he will offer that MandQt will rot outpoint the champion

IN BAD SHAPE
 FOR VIRGINIA STRUGGLE

I
 fly and appeared in poor shape for his big game Saturday.
 Sikes, vanderbilt's star fullback, has been i'll with malaria for four weeks and has a bad ankle in the bargain. He will be started in the game against Virginia if he can possibly be patched up, but the chances are that he will not last over a quarter and a half at most.
 Morgan in Bad Shape Hugh Morgan, the 220-pound center was not used in the Mississippi game at all last Saturday, and it is doubtful If he will be worked more than one half of the game with Virginia. The other players who are in bad condition are: Shea, substitute halfback; Gov ington, guard; Porter substitute guard ; Robins, quarterback; Chester. end; Mill holland, substitute end and fullback
 Dah McGugin has not yet decided
 which of his three quarterbacks he will start against Virginia. Robins is in
 bad physical condition; Curlin's work in the Mississippi game was poor and | 1t would be taking a long chance to
 put him in Boensch, the other possi-
 bility, has been out for work but three days in the past four weeks, as he has been held out by the faculty for schol- arship reasons.
 Result Is Doubtful When asked what he thought were the chances of starting all the regu- lars in the game against Virginia Sat-
 urday, Dr. Owsley Manier, assistant coach, said: We may be able to put them all in at first but I don't see how Collins can hold out long. Sikes is very weak from the effects of his illness and will not be able to play over full half if that long. Morgan 1 is some better and if he is. not hurt
 may be able to play three quarters of
 the game, but doubt if he will go that far. On the whole, our men are in
 poor physical condition, and unless Vir- ginia is a great deal weaker than
 think, Vanderbilt will have a hard time
 getting them Saturday" Dan McGugin
 was unwilling to make any predictions,
 and as for the condition of the men, he
 said Manier knew more than he did.
 To Hold Mass Meeting The Vanderbilt students are plan ming to give the Virginia team a great
 mass meeting on Friday night. There will be speeches by pr. W. l.. Dudley
 Chancellor J. II. Kirkland and others
 The university band will be supple
 mented by musicians form the Indus- l trial school and the occasion is ex- pected to be a notable one.
 l A special section in the east side
 stands has been reserved for the Vir- ginia rooters. Among the prominent Virginia supporters here are: Bradley Walker c. B. Wallace, George Swab, F. P. Bond. pr. Lucius Brown, Her bert Morrow, pr. W. D. Sumpter J. l.. Kennedy George Frazier, pr. Thoma | Weaver, Rev. William Lunsford Dr.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Be Kind to Neighbors

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Sit down and let us talk together; and perhaps we may be of mutual ben eft one to the other There are three types of men I dare say if we were put desire to keep company with, and yet we might be among the list. They are the faultfinder, the slanderer and the envious Can we say something that will lead us into higher and more de- cent ways. If we are among this mum Der, can we carry to each other and our neighbors any comfort and pleas ure? Why not be thankful, considerate te and just? hungry man walked into bakery shop and asked for a loaf of bread, and was refused. Can I rest q moment that l may smell the bread ?' Yes. Good morning. I am filled"
 Don't we want others to treat us right? Then we must be thoughtful of our neighbors. Would we like for our good name to be slandered? If not, then We must wash and fumigate our slimy tongues, and keep them clean, and then we will be just. Do we envy the man living In the big house, and riding in a limousine? Remember, If we had worked and saved like he did we could have had these things too.
 Friends. draw close together and clasp hands, and in this quiet and peaceful hour, this heazy, dreamy and beautiful Indian summer day, and make a VOW to our God that we will cease to find fault. to islander and be envious. and give our lives to better and higher purposes.

JOE MAND0T AND AID WOLGAST TO BATTLE FOR TITLE IN NEW ORLEANS

Ad Wolgast, lightweight champion, and Joe Mandot the New Orleans fighter. will meet in a ten round bout in New Orleans next Monday at Pelican park The match is attracting considerable attention all over the country, especially in the south as Mandot is the only southerner in many moons to have a chance for the cham pionship. Mandot is the idol of the New Orleans fight fans, and has shown that he Is fighter of considerable ability. His victory of Joe Rivers after the latter had in the opinion of many, outfought Wolgast placed him in line for cham pionship contender.
 Wolgast on Scene
 However, it is probable that the New Orleans boy will have a difficult un- de.takng on his hands when he er- deavors to outpoint the present cham nion. Wolgast supporters say that Man dot will be lucky if he is not knocked out On the other hand the New Or leans viewpoint is that Mandot will out point the Dutehman further in ten rounds than any man has ever done.
 Wolgast reached New orleans Mon day where he will train for few days previous to the fight The pres ent titleholder Is confident of the out- eeme. There Is absolutely no ques- tion in my mind but that I will wir from Mandot, and win with ease" says Wolgast. Just take my tip--the light weight title is safe and your uncle At
