Green Sunsets,

Green sunsets seen by the Russian
explorers in the polar regions have
been matched in England. Through

the sunsets and afterglows were of
wonderful intensity and varied colors.

Famous Football Player Takes Ur
Motorcycle Game.

Bobby Marshall, one of the greatest
ends ever developed on the University
OF Minnesota football team, will ap-
pear in the stock motorcycle races
open to amateur riders at the Motor
drome, Saturday afternoon.
The bright lights were turned on at
the Midway course last night especial
ly for Marshall's first trial. He nego-
tiated several fast laps on the saucer
and declared afterward that the sport
thrills him. The colored athlete is said
by his friends to be a motorcyclist of
more than average ability. He pos.
sesses plenty Of nerve, uses his head
and has excellent control over his ma
chine.
When he first rode on the 'drome
track last night, contrary to the meth
DDS Of some new riders, he felt his
way slowly. No attempt was made to
ride the red line at the top. The white
line near the runway was good enough
for him. Then, gradually increasing
his speed, the former football star
whirled his machine up to the mid
section, where his speed was declared
to be about eighty miles an hour
This was fast enough for him on his
first attempt, he said.-Minneapolis

In the last days OF the campaign tho

In the last days OF the campaign tho
anti-Kerr leaders learned with sur
prise that Senator McMinitry, their
state boss. was coming to Belmont for
a day. They had not sent for him,
n were at a loss to account for the
visit. He had not taken any one into
his confidence, merely saying he was
coming on business. Why he should
journey from Washington to Belmont
for SO short a stay they could not un-
derstand. He gave 1t out that he was
making a flying visit to his home. but
he came straight to Belmont. Only
two men besides the senator knew his
mission, the emissary who carried the
message to Washington and the man
who sent for him. David Kerr wanted
to see him.
1t was only three days before cleo.
ton when Senator McMinitry visited
Belmont. He went to the Hotel Bel
mont and took a suite of rooms, but
did not register. After talking to Da.
vid Kerr over the telephone, he or
dered an early luncheon for two served
In his private parlor. Kerr arrived
before the table was spread and i'm.
mediately began to explain the situa-
ton. All through the meal the two
men talked, McMinitry questioning
and Kerr explaining.
Practical politics was the business
OF Senator James McMinitry just as
1t was Of Mr.. David Kerr. Jim Nc
Minitry liked to pose before the pub
lie and to make famboyant speeches.
Kerr preferred to sit In his dingy real
estate office and pull the strings that
made the puppets dance. To him
speech making and posing were like
the tinsel On a drum majors uniform.
He cared only for power, 1t was i'm
material to him how gaudy glory was
apportioned.
1T looks like he's got you in bad.

how | can help you this trip"
Kerr slowly set down his glass OF
water and Strengthened up in his
chair. for he knew that the deal was
now under way. He had played fair
with Jim McMinitry and told him Just
the exact situation.
Lots o. things can happen. Jim.
I've decided to get his paper, but l

You amt going to let him play you
