 legitimate alibi for defeat but she had none yesterday. She went into the game az to 1 favorite, outweighing the Tigers and with the better record; she emerged from the battle outgeneraled, outplayed and outfought.
 Alabama's line was ripped to shreds, her ends boxed and the backs shaken off by the Sewanee interference and pe- culiar revolving motion which the Tigers adopted in broken field running. In fact, the Crimson came out of the battle with little else than bruises.
 The game yesterday afternoon was strongly reminiscent of the one two weeks ago, only this time Sewanee usurped the role of Alabama In the first 10 minutes of play the ball was carried over the Alabama line as the result of a tumble and line plunges by Parker of Sewanee. After that 1t was only question or now big the score would be.
 The ball was in Alabama territory the greater part of the time and Sewanee's goal was threatened but once, when Ala bama was held for downs and the ball booted out of danger. The Crimson was on the defensive continuously. and could advance the ball only a few yards before they were held for downs or lost on a tumble.
 vandeGraaff was repeatedly called upon to kick, and kick in a hurry, as his line was no protection This was the only de- partment in the game in which Alabama manifested any superiority. VandeGraaff outkiclsed Clark from 20 to 25 yards on every punt.
 Clean and Fast
 The game was clean and fast, but not an especially pretty one to, watch from the grandstand. There was too much mass play. In fact, but four forward passes were attempted in the entire game, and all of them were broken up. End runs on the part of Alabama were occasionally tried, while Sewanee shifted her attack from one side of the field to the other, relying upon Tolley and Parker to ad- vance the ball
 The game opened brlskly. Captain Tol- ley won the toss and elected to defend the west goal. Both quarters tried out the opponents line, and for a few minutes the struggle went on in mid-field with little advantage for either. Sewanee made first down on line plunges and Tol- ley skirted right end for IS yards.
 Standing on the 20-yard line. Tolley att tempted a IOTWdTu pdSSs HUI WdS AiitVi- cepted by Long on his 10-yard line. In a great run he brought the ball back 40 ya~Ss to mid-field. On the second down Alabama fumbled and the ball went over. Tollev continued to hammer at the Ala bama line but found no openings, and called for kick. The ball was run back 10 yards and on the 30-yard line, but on the first down Alabama fumbled and the ball went over.
 Sewanee's Score
 Then came Sewanee's score Parker took the ball. and hammering away on both sides of the Alabama line, bucked 1t over. It was great work. Clark missed goal.
 There was no further scoring in the re- mainder of the half, but the impact of the Sewanee backs on the Alabama line be- gan to tell. and gradually the Crimson defense crumbled. and gave way, and the disntegration of the eleven was com plete. In the early part of the second quarter Love was put out of the game for too vigorous protesting to the referee,

would seem encouraging, but
looking forward, we are able to
house less than one-third of the
crop and warehouses without a
credit system lose 90 per cent of
their usefulness. The problem is
a gigantic one-too great for the
farmer to solve unaided. He must
have the assistance of the bank
er, the merchant and the govern
ment.
In production we have reached
the high water mark of perfection
in the worlds history, but our
marketing methods are most
primitive. In the dawn of his
tory we find agriculture blowing
with a forked stick but with a
system of warehouses under gov
ernmental supervision that made
the Egyptians the marvel of civ
ilization, for who has not adj
mired the vision of Joseph and
applauded the wisdom of Pharaoh
for storing the surplus until de-
manded by the consumer, but in
this age we have too many Jo-
sephs who dream and not enough
Pharoahs who build.

APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for
Relief-President Wilson Di-
reefs Attention of Public to
Their Needs.

The committee of railroad ex-
ecutives, headed by Mr.. Frank
Trumbull, representing thirty
five Of the leading railroad sys-
TENS of the nation, recently pre-
scented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing
the difficulties now Confronting
the railroads of the country and
asking for the cooperation of the
governmental authorities and the
public in supporting railroad
credits and, recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the
railroads be given additional rev.
enues. ,..e
The memorandum recites that
the European war has resulted in
general depression of business on
the American continent and in
the dislocation of credits at home
and abroad. With revenues de-
creasing and interest rates in
creasing the transportation sys-
TENS of the country face most
serious crisis and the memoran-
dunn is strong presentation of
the candle burning at both ends
and the perils that must ultimate
ly attend such conhagration
when the flames meet is, apparent
to all. In their general discussion
the railroad representatives say
in part: "By reason of legisla-
ton and regulation by the Fed
eral Government and the forty
eight states acting independently
Of each other, as we'll as through
the action Of strong public opin-
ion, railroad expenses in recent
years have vastly increased. No
criticism is here made Of the gen.
eral theory Of governmental regu-
lation, but on the other hand, no
ingenuity can relieve the carriers
of expenses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmit
ting the memorandum of the rail-
road presidents to the public,
characterizes it as "a lucid state
ment Of plain truth" The Pres
ident recognizing the emergency
as extraordinary, continuing, said
in part:
"You ask me TO call the atten-
ton of the country to the imper-
alive need that railway credits
be sustained and the railroads
helped in, every possible way,
whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies
and am glad to do so because I
think the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and
the President is to be congratu-
lated for opening the gate to
new world of effort in which
everyone may cooperate.
There are many. important
problems in Our complex civili-
cation that will yield to co-opera-
ton which will not lend them
selves to arbitrary rulings of
commissions and financing rail-
roads is one of them. The man
with the money is factor that
cannot be eliminated from any
business transaction, and the
public is an interested party that
should always be consulted and
happily the President has invited
all to participate lin the solution,
of our railroad problems.

ton hold the calloused hand and
soothe the feverish brow of her
sex who sows and reaps the ma
TONS harvest or will she permit
the male of the species to shove
women-weak and weary-from
the bread-line of industry to the
back alleys of poverty?
Women and Children First.
The census enumerators tell us
that of the 1,514,0O0 women who
work in the fields as farm hands
100000 are sixteen years of age
and under. What is the final des-
tiny of a nation whose future
mothers spend their girlhood
days behind the plow, pitching
hay and hauling manure, and
what is. to become of womanly
culture and refinement that grace
the homie, charm society and en-
thuse man to leap to glory in
noble achievements if our daugh-
tiers are raised in the society of
the OK and the companionship of
the plow?
In that strata between the ages
of sixteen and forty-hve are o50,-
600 women working as farm
hands and many of them with
sucking babes tugging at their
breast, as drenched in perspira-
ton, they WELD the scythe and
guide the pillow. What is to be-
come of that nation where power
ty breaks the crowns of the
queens of the home; despair
hurls a mothers love from its
throne and hunger, drives inno-
cent children from the school
room to the hoe?
The census bureau shows that
Is, 900 of these women are forty
five years of age and over. There
is no more pitiful sight in civil
cation than these sanity mothers
of Israel stopped with age, drudg-
ing in the field from sun until
sun and at night drenching their
dingy pillows with the tears of
despair as their aching hearts
take it all to God in prayer. Civ
ilization strikes them a blow
when it should give them a
crown, and their only friend is
He who broke bread with beg
gars and said: Come unto me
all we that are weary and heavy
laden and l will give you rest"
Oh, America! the land of the
free and the home of the brave;
the worlds custodian OF chivalry,
the champion of human rights
and the defender of the oppressed
shall we permit our maidens
fair to be torn from the hearth
stone by the ruthless hand of
destiny and chained to the plow?
Shall we permit our faithful
wives, whom we covenanted with
God to cherish and protect, to be
hurled from the home to the har-
vest field, and Our mothers dear
to be driven from the old arm
chair to the cotton patch?
In rescuing our citizens from
the forces of civilization, can we
not apply to Our fair Dixieland
the rule of the sea-"women and
children frst?"
There must be a readjustment
of the wage scale of industry so
that the woman can be taken
from the field or given reason
able wage for her services. Per-
haps the issue has never been
fairly raised, but the Farmers
Union, with membership of ten
million, puts its organized forces
squarely behind the issue. and we
now enter upon the docket of civ
ilization the case of "The Woman
in the Field" and demand an i'm
mediate trial.

DAYLIGHT HoLpuP

The report comes from Geneseo
Sargent county, that a daring day
light holdup was perpetrated near
there the other day.
Clarence Boydas, who works
for John Kchinsky, Just south
west of Geneseo was just leaving
the corn field for dinner when he
was accosted by two we'll dressed
individuals and commanded to
throw up his hands. Not comply
ing at once one of the robbers
struck Boydas in the face with
some blunt object, inhicting a
very deep wound and stunning him
for a minute, after this blow he
reached for his pocket intending
to hand over his pocketbook and
the men took fright and vanished
into a nearby field.
The blow that was struck at
him landed fairly on the nose. cut
ting both nostrils through and
bruising the bone badly. He at
once started for the house and
was hurried to Cayuga where DR..
Hubbard dressed the wound and
made the young man as comfort
able as possible.
