Fred Leistikow of Winnipeg, who
has competed at local tennis tourna-

championship. He retained his title
by defeating P. B. Bennett, 1-6, 6-3,
6-2, 60.
The Leistikow-Bennett match was
one of the best OF the Winnipeg tour
nament. In the Northwestern cham
pionship event. Bennett eliminated
Leistikow, but, after taking the first
set of the Manitoba singles match, he
was unable to do much against the
veteran.
The secret Of Leistikow's success
was in his solution of Benefits fast
reverse service. After the first set.
which Bennett took easily 6-1, Leis-
tikow stood close to the lin eand took
the service on the rise. Bennett was
unable to get to the net and was fore
ed to play base line game, in which
he is not so proficient.

Property rights, states rights and
any old rights appear to be more
sacred than human rights.
Of course, the right solution of the
minimum wage is to make it national.
If one state adopts a minimum
wage and another doesn't, the one
that doesn't will have the advantage
in competition, because it can pay
lower wages.
Competition is war and war is
waste.
And Gen. Sherman once remarked
that war is hell. y

he will find his ancestors we're no

The daughters of the rich would

tying up to a burned-out sassiety
swell.
Clean blood is worth more than
millions.
1t is something money won't put |
in in the place of rotten blood.
Wilson's canal toll policy gives the |
windy tail-twisters chance to grab |
the British lions tail with big ocean
between them and the lion.
All one of 'em has to do is to get
up in congress and shoot off his
mouth and Willie Hearst will print
their names in his papers.
The same thing goes for Wilson's
Mexican policy.
If the bIue-bIooded English army
officers resign, why not fill their
places with red-blooded guys from

Those bIue-bIoods would rather
tango than fight, anyhow.
