UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Dec 14.-The grand
flourish with which football in the
East came to a close elevated coach
ing to the highest point it ever has
reached. The boys who declare that

he does, either in baseball, football
q other sports. will have to hold
their peace with such mighty records
as those turned in by Laurie Bankart,
Tad Jones and DR.. Henry K. Will
liams, not to mention the steady plug
sing that has characterized Percy
Iiaughton's work ever since he became
TIE Harvard mentor.
Jones and Bankart, the latter the
Colgate teacher of football, are given
full credit for the admirable perform
ances of their teams. Clinton K.
Plack, captain Of the Yale team, de-
cared after the close Of the season
that o better coach never stepped on
to a gridiron than Tad Jones. And
Colgate students are paying just the
scme homage to Bankart. Minnesota
students always have felt sure Dr..
Williams was the last word in coach
ing, and his showing against WiScon
sin certainly indicates the thorough
ness of his work. More than one critic
in the West will declire it is mighty
unfortunate that Minnesota didn't get
off to the start that marked the work
Or others.
Bankart has been Colgate coacL
for long time, and has sent many
lood teams into action. His victory
over Brown, however, after that team
had thrashed both Harvard and Yale,
brought him out as a real teacher,
Colgate has lost only three games in

A NOTABLE CHILD ACTOR.

How early in life will the human emo
lions manifest themselves? This ques-
ton has been asked by many psycholo-
gists and by nearly every person who has
considered the various emotions to which
the human mind is subjected.
The latest answer to this interesting
inquiry has been made by Lillian Read,
little two and one-half year old miss,
who appears in the big cinema spectacular
production" Civilization She is seen
as the daughter of man who was called
to war, and, during the progress of her
part, is said to register more human
emotions than ever before displayed by a
child of her age. At melville, CAL,
where the scenes in which she appears
were taken, she has been called the Baby
Sarah Bernhardt. She is the daughter
of one of the assistant directors to Thos.
H. Ince, the genius who produced
Civilization" During the progress of
her acting, this little mite registers with
force and impressiveness Surprise, -
..Supplication,'' Alteration Grief !,
...Mirth," go "Uncertainty,'s y, Wonder

pronounced by cinema producers the
most expressive child ever seen in the
movies.

BRING ON YOUR PANIC.

The Republican national committee.
during the weeks Immediately preceding
the election, published flaring, full-page
advertisements in most of the leading
newspapers, warning the people that the
reelection of Mr.. Wilson would result
in industrial and financial distress. Now
that Mr.. Wilson has been reelected,
prices of stocks and bonds continue even
firmer than before election, the railroads
are placing orders for enormous guam
titles OF cars and locomotives with which
to handle their growing business and the
managers of the big manufacturing en-
terprises are planning for enlargement
of their plants.
Evidently these sagacious business
men are not fearing the fulfillment of
the predictions made by Republican
leaders with respect to the results that
would follow a four-year extension of
power to the Wilson administration,
They look for a continuance of pros
perity under Democratic rule.
1t is now up to the Republican lead
ers either to deliver their panic or ad-
NIT that they were false prophets in
their prediction announcements. This
is what they ought in honor to do,
but we have an impression that they
will be even slower about it than MI.

lations, after it was certain that he was

EVENING
WELLS NEW. ULM. AND REDWOOD
TEAMS TO TEST THEIR
FORENSIC POWERS

Friday evening, Dec. Is, the people
of New Ulm will have a chance to hear
one of the best debates ever held in
this city, when the Wells high school
debating team will go up against the
high school team in triangular debate.
The question to be argued is one of the
most important OF the present day is
sues and must necessarily be settled
before the end of the war, as it regards
the immigration OF foreigners. Briefly
stated it is as follows: Resolved:
That immigration to the U. S. should be
further restricted by means of literacy
test"
The New Ulm team will uphold the
negative side of the question and Wells
the Affirmative. Last year Wells won
the district championship by defeating
Redwood Falls The New Ulm team
lost to Redwood Falls by two to one
decision .a-~
The New Ulm team that will debate
here consists of Anne Wager, Lucille
,Schleuder and Joseph Welter, The
bedate will be held in the High School
Auditorium land an admissions price of
25c will be- charged to cover expenses.
The New Ulm affirmative team, con-
sisting of Max Freitag, Ludwig Hof-
meister and Roman Penkert, will travel
to Redwood Falls on the same day
and battle with the negative team of
that high school. If New Ulm wins
both debates she will no doubt have the
district championship.

Fred Pfaender of this city, calling at.
tention to the fact that many residents
of Cottonwood township, this county,
are thoughtlessly causing delay, and in
many instances unnecessary trouble, in
receiving their mail. Some of the people
Of that township date their letters

izing that there is post office by that
name in this state As result their
correspondents, in replying address their
mail in the same way. Postmaster
Schil[lng, for many years was travelling
solicitor in this territory for the St. Paul
Dispatch, and is thus acquainted with
most OF the Cottonwood township people,
and when letter intended for New Ulm
is received in his office he forwards it.
He can do this with first class mail, but
when matter of the third or second class
arrives he is obliged to notify the person
for whom it is intended that the necessary
extra postage may be sent This not
only adds to the delay, but also causes
considerable trouble for the post office
and the recipient, and IS an expense, as
well, to the latter.

100, 600, 600 EGGS HELD
BY FOUR CHICAGO MEN

Four men in Chicago, styling them
selves the ''Big Four" have 10000, 900
eggs in store in that city, which they are
holding for even higher prices than
quoted now. This fact was brought
out at an investigation now being held
by federal officers in that city.
In the meantime the officers are seek
ing evidence that will bring about the
conviction of these men for violating the
cold storage laws. What the result will
be remains to be seen.
1t is alleged that these egg kings keep
a double set of books, one to show the
authorities and the other for their own
use. The discoveries made relative to
the egg corner caused the investigators
to drop their inquiries against the meat
packing houses and devote their time
and energies toward smashing the egg
trust.
The disclosures were made when they
began to question these self-styled 'egg
kings" and nearly staggered the federal
attorneys in charge of the investigation.
Chicago bankers are blamed for the
conditions, it being claimed they are
guilty of financing these unlawful COM
bines; that they furnish the money with
which it is possible to conduct their bust
ness.
''The banks furnish the money to the
warehouse men, and they in turn lend
it to the spectators" says an attorney
for the government. "By this method
they just skirt around the edge of
trouble"
It is charged that food spectators in
Chicago have been dumping vegetables
into the drainage canal by the car load
in order to keep prices up.
Retail prices of food stufs have
slightly declined in the past day or two,
but not enough to cause a sensation.

FLOOD CONTROL HEARING
AT ORTONVILLE SUCCESS

Mayor L. A. Fritsche returned Sunday
evening from Ortonville, Mimi, where a
hearing was held Saturday, by Lieut..
Col. Edward H. Schulz, of the United
States Engineering Corps, relative to
the feasibility of improving the Mime
sofa and Red River valleys, with view
to preventing the floods which almost
annually do thousands of dollars worth
of damage to the farms and other proper
Iy along those rivers. Mayor Fritsche
was accompanied to Ortonville by
Daniel Williams of Cambria, Capt.
Jacob Hindermann of Fort Ridgely,
Alexander Russell of West Newton, and
Fred Fritsche, ST., of Lafayette The
mayor picked up the four other delegates
in | is alto and they drove to Hector, on
the Milwaukee line, where they caught a
train for Ortonville.
sseeFhere were large number of repre-
sentatives from various sections of the
two valleys, said Mayor Fritsche,
land I believe the hearing will be pro-
ductive of much good. Colonel Schulz
was told OF conditions along the rivers,
from the lips of men who have suffered
almost every year from the floods. They
Were men who knew what they were
talking about, were absolutely honest
in their statements, and they certainly
I impressed the Colonel with the con-
ditions from which thousands of people
in this state are suffering.
1.-The only trouble is that too little
interest is being taken in the matter by
people at Mankato and other points down
the river. They no doubt would be de-
lighted at the results, but don't seem to
care to exert themselves to get them"
Mayor Fritsche says that the people
all the way up the two valleys, on both
sid IS of TIE state line are thoroly aroused
ard the matter will be pushed to the end
With the officials of three states working
to the same end, he believes there is sure
to be something done now.
