 The Alumni game will be undoubted- ly the game of the season. Both teams carry the laurels of champions of the state, but P. H. $. has a slight advant age over the veterans.
 Burt Doris of the high school kicks only within the 40yard line. Coach Geary has no statement at present to make about his team, but the manager of the Alumni predicts victory. Julian Ganz, an all-star player himself, that was during the prime of his youth, will moisten the veterans with cool sooth- ing water Gang is the most able and efficient man at this work

This is step in the right direc-
ton and one of the main fundament-
ais of any successful business 1t Is
most important to the future success
of a business man that he should
know what his goods actually cost
to manufacture and to sell. If he has
these facts, they will enable him to
present a modern balance sheet to
his bank, and as result he will be
better able to obtain credit with
which to expand and develop his

Your suggestion that trade asso-

and other similar organizations
should be encouraged in every feas-

WASHINGTON, May 17-Presi-
dent Wilson puts his o K on the fed
eral trade commissions encourage
ment of trade associations, manufac-
turers' associations and other SIM
liar organizations in letter to Vice
Chairman Edward N. Hurley, Of the
commission, made public today.
If the United States is to be an
important factor in the markets Of
the world she must be more thorough
and efficient in production, the presf-
dent said. He appeals to the COM
mission to continue to cooperate with
the business men Of the country, to
keep down the mortality rate among
American industries.
The letter follows:
"My Dear Mr.. Hurley:
your Boston speech is before me,
in which you outline some of the work
which the federal trade commission
is doing for the business men of the
country I wish to commend your
efforts generally and in particular

ital now tied up because of inefficient
methods will be released and can be
used effectively elsewhere
IF we are to be an important
factor in a worlds market we must
be more thorough and efficient in
production.
st is my hope that in addition to
the other work which the federal
trade commission is doing, it will
ascertain the facts regarding condi-
tions in our various Industries. If it
finds that an industry is not healthy
it should, after carefully considering
the facts, in cooperation with the
parties interested, suggest a helpful
remedy. In this way many of our
difficult business problems might be
solved
81 am very anxious to see you con-
tinue to cooperate with the business
men of the country along the lines
upon which you are working.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
