GRtNNELL DOWNS LOCALS.
Fast and Furious Game Goes to Or
posing Team, "a to "a.

So'n9 70 <S
Excellent team work, consisting
mainly OF short. quick passing and
very close guarding. enabled the fast
Grinnell team to beat Coach Sanford s
five "a to "a at the high school gym
Friday night before a wildly excited
crowd Of rooters. Marshalltown was
hopelessly behind most Of the time, ex-
cept in the beginning of the second
half. when the local players took a
brace and for a few moments made il
warm for their opponents.
Garner and Hammond. the Grinnell
forwards. were the big stars of the
game, the former caging nine field
goals and the latter six. The team
work Of Grinnell was too much for the
locals, and the short passing game
which they used almost exclusively
could not be broken up. MarshaIltown
on the other hand. had TO rely on long
shots the greater part Of the time.
Boardman made on exceptionally fine
one. but the rest Of the time could not
connect with any amount Of regular
ity. john Smith played a brilliant
game at guard, breaking up the Grin
nell defense several times. Packer was
watched closely, and could not ge.
many chances at the goal. GrinneIl
was ahead q TO 9 when time was up
for the first half. The score:

were almost overcome by the fumes
of gas on entering the house, and. up
on making an investigation of the
matter. found the daughter lying un-
conscious and apparently dead on
the bathroom floor. Physicians were
hurriedly summoned and endeavored
to restore respiration, but without
result, as life was extinct II was
stated by the physicians that she had.
probably, been dead for something
like three-quarters of an hour when
they called.
The door of the bathroom was clos
ed and gas was escaping from the
open burner of a heating stove when
the discovery of the unfortunate oc-
currence was mad. Miss Kirkton had
been a semi-invalid for some time in
consequence of a nervous breakdown
last spring and her seif-destructlon
was prompted by dependency and
ill-health
Following her nervous attack a few
months ago Miss Kirkton went to a
private sanitarium in Pueblo for

fited. Her condition was much i'm

What organization has done for va

the welfare of the farmers and the

Up until 1890 agriculture in the
country WAS carried on as a means Of

concerns in the United States against
the heaviness of farm machinery, par
ticularly h0rse-drawn equipment,
that North American manufacturers
ship into this territory and try to
persuade them to buy.
German manufacturers whose trade
is now cut off, have studied the South
American farmers desires in this re-
spect and gave him what he wanted.
The smaller, lighter German machin-
cry was purchased and the heavy
North American product left alone.

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to
reduce the cost of living. This
they have failed to do; but they
did reduce the opportunities of
making a living. Let US not for
get the conditions that existed
in this country under the new
tariff prior to the outbreak Of
the war. Production had de-
creased, business was languish-
ing, new enterprises were not
undertaken, instead of expan-
sion there was curtailment, and
our streets were filed with the
unemployed. What ground is
there for expecting better con-
ditions when the unhealthy
stimulus Of the war has spent
its force and our Industries and
working-men are exposed to the
competition Of an energized Eu-
roper
It Is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.

acceptance.
