PULLMAN HIGH BOYS
ARE COUNTY CHAMPIONS
Played Rings Around Their Old
ColfaX Rivals In Annual Football
Game Last Friday

A big crowd of Pullman football
ans went to Colfax last Friday and
watched the local high school team
make monkeys OF their countyseat
rivals. Pullman u, Colfax 0. was
the final score and it about repre-
scented the difference in the teams.
On straight old-fashioned football,
the Cofax team was fairly good, but
when Pullman opened up, their op-
ponents were simply bewildered by
the brilliant assortment OF spread
plays and forward passes. AS an ex-
citing contest the game was a disap-
pointment, but as an interesting ex-
hibition of what the Pullman boys
could do, 1t was a decided success.
Every member of the Pullman team
put up a fine game, but Price shone
like a star Of the first magnitude.
His running in a broken field was
the feature of the afternoon.
BY this victory the Pullman boys
have again won the county cham
pionship, as all the other contenders
have either been beaten or have for
feited. The team is now trying to
secure a game to be played here on
Thanksgiving and has opened negoti-
ations with Occur d'Alene, Walla
Walla, Waltsburg, Moscow and other
high schools.

JACKSON SCORES
DECISIVE VICTORY
Wins by Overwhelming Vote From
Pullman's Three-Times Mayor in
Contest for Nomination
Wagner Beats Olson in
First Ward

The Rev. Harley Jackson, pastor
Of the Christian church, will next
year guide the destinies of the city
of Pullman as mayor, he having won
the nom ination by an overwhelming
vote over Mayor A, e. Shaw, who is
Just completing his third term. in
the primary election of last Tuesday.
More than ordinary interest was
taken in the affair and nearly $50
voters expressed a choice as to
mayor. The victory of Mr.. jackson
assures his election at the general
city election to be held December 3,
as his will be the only name on the
ballot, and "sticker" candidates
would have a hard time getting a
hearing with public sentiment as en-
phatic in favor of the winner as was
evidenced by his big vote of Tues
day. A lively contest developed in
the First ward, where George Wag-
ner, incumbent, and A. f. Olson
were opposed for the nomination as
First ward councilman. Wagner
won the nomination by vote of %
to 10, and will probably be unop-
posed at the genral election, All the
other candidates for the various of
fices were unopposed on the ticket
and all were nominated. J. W.
Mathews received about so "pencil"
votes for city attorney, and d. c.
Dow also came in for his share of
honorary votes for that position. In
the third ward 80 voters substituted
the name of e. l.. McAlister for that
of Frank Burnett, the only an
nounced candidate for Third ward
councilman. Twelve voters substi-
mted the name of Geo A. Bostic for
that of William Swain, ticket candi-
date for Second ward councilman,
and six votes were cast for F. s.
Libby for the same position.
or a total of TAG voters who ex-
pressed a choice as to mayor, 525
voted for Harley Jackson and 221
Tor A. e. Shaw. In the First ward
Jackson received 100 to ~ for Shaw,
IN the Second ward the vote was 1874
Tor Jackson to 65 for Shaw, in pre-
clnct Ga of the Third ward Jackson
received 179 votes to 62 cast for
Mayor Shaw, and precinct No. 70 of
the Third ward gave Jackson 113
and Shaw %.
Six hundred and fifty-three voters
placed an X after the name of w. G.
hruegel, the only candidate for the
nomination for at-large,
and 6S3 votes were cast for Matilda
+. Cannon, sole candidate for the
nomination for city clerk. City
treasurer j. S. Clark proved the big
vote getter with 685 to his credit,
and City Attorney NJ. S. lamar re-
celVed SIG votes, both unopposed on
the ballots.

NEW YORK MIGHT Be
TAKEN IN A WEEK
So Says Colonel Febiger i'm Lecture
to Students Friday--HaS No
Faith in International
Law

Colonel Lea Febiger, 4. S. A.,
formerly stationed at Fort George
Wright in Spokane, last Friday de-
lNered an interesting address in the
college auditorium, taking as his
subject The Military Policy of the
United States
Referring to our military policy in
his address, Colonel Febiger said:
we have not any and never have
had except what one might call
Ieft-handed or a negative one. AS
nation the United States has a
very inadequate military force, was
his contention. A mobile army of
33 900 and a militia of 1875 900 with
in the limits of the country seemed
disproportionate to the colonel in
1000, especially in light of the
fact that we have but one soldier TO
over 1000 inhabitants, while France
has one to each rs, Germany one to
119, and Great Britain one to a little
over 200 inhabitants.
He called attention to the story of
Theodore Roosevelt, in which the
latter alleged that San Francisco or
New York could be captured with
ease and held for ransom. Colonel
Febiger declared his belief in the
truth of this statement, declaring
that under present-day military con-
ditions either Of these places might
be put at the mercy Of a foreign
power within a week.
Our great potential strength
meant very little to the colonel, who
believed that we should have a policy
which would keep in readiness an
army large enough to defeat any
power that might oppose it at that
time. The voluntary army has had
in the past a series OF brilliant sue
cesses after being trained but at this
day and age there is no time for
training an army and putting it into
the field after war has been de-
cIared.
Colonel Febiger lacked faith in
what is called international law, and
referred to it as international
courtesy which can not
be enforced between nations and is
purely voluntary, governments fire.
quently forgetting to turn the pro-
verbal Other cheek"
"Our problem, then" said the
speaker lis the preparation of a
citizen army" around a regular
army, which should be of sufficient
strength to defeat any force that
might oppose it at that time. We
need a policy to do this; other ma
tions have policies. We drop into
war instead of really preparing for
it, and the result is wastefully ex-
trayagant.
Referring to the service, Colonel
Febiger said, THE days of the drunk
en- and licentious soldiery are past. )"
His conception of the service is a
hard worked, honored, and patriotic
profession, one as poorly paid as the
IN odern educator, yet full of that
courageous, patriotic, and self-sacri-
ficing spirit so well expressed by
Major General VIM. p. Duyall in his
farewell address upon retiring from
the active service IN the Philippines.

GRAIN CONTINUES
TO SOAR SKYWARD
Last Weeks Record Prices Eclipsed
by Considerable Margin This
Week-Market Is Steady

Although grain prices have ad-
vanced steadily during the past week
until last weeks record prices have
been eclipsed more than five cents
per bushel, those who have kept in
close touch with the situation main
tain that the peak has not yet been
reached, and many farmers are still
possessed of their entire 1914 hold
ings, although they could release
now at a figure that would pay
handsome dividends on the cash and
labor Investments 1t is noticeable.
however, that the farmers who have
sold their grain, and many of them
at prices around the 70 cents mark,
were those who most needed the big
dividends and those who are still
holding and will reap the benefit of
phenomenally high prices, are those
who least need the big money. Some
of these farmers who were holding
for several weeks for dollar" wheat,
refused to release even when their
figure was reached, and are now
clamOring for $1.10 and S1,15
wheat, with every indication that
their hopes may be realized.
Yesterdays quotations on the
local market were as follows:

LITTLE BOY
WEAK AND S|CKLY
Mother Tells How Her Little Son
Was Made a Strong, Healthy
Boy by Vinol After Severe
Sickness

New York City.--"About five years
ago, my little boy, then seven years old
was very i'll with gastritis, then he con-
tracted measles from the other children
pneumonia soon followed, and there
seemed no hope Of saving his life How
ever, we fought off the disease and he
recovered, but was in very weak and
delicate condition.
'The doctor prescribed cod liver oil,
but his little stomach swelled up like a
drum, and the doctor said there was
no cure for him. decided to try Vinol,
as / had used it myself with splendid
results, and it seemed to agree with him.
That bloated condition soon disappeared,
and now he is a strong, healthy boy,
thanks to Vinol. Mrs. Thomas Fitz-
gerald, 1890 Park avenue, New York
City.
In all cases where the healing, cura-
tive, tissue building influence of cod liver
oil, or the strength creatng, blood
making properties of tonic iron are need
ed, Vinol gives immediate benefit, for it
is easily assmilated and acceptable to
the weakest stomach, because it contains
no oil or grease, and tastes delicious.
