|B|G TEAMS PREPARE
| FOR FINAL STRUGGLE
Harvard, Yale, Princeton and
the Army Are Each In
Line for Pennant
By H. @. Hamilton.

UNITED Press staff correspondent)
New York, Nov 6.--With records be
hind them that denote power in every
quarter, the casts biggest football
teams began today the most important
practice of the season-perparation fol
the games which will decide who is tC
wear the crown of 1916 champion.
Harvard, Yale, Princeton and the
Army stand out in their class. The
Army's feat in whipping Notre Dame
to standstill and the fact that Harv.
ard did as well against Virginia as
Yale, are things that cannot be over
looked. Navy's defeat by Washington
and Lee, team which had been beaten
by the Army, will figure large in the
final reckoning. =.
Up at Cambridge it is now an ac.
cepted fact that Percy Haughton is the
Harvard machine, Mahan's and Brick
ley's Notwithstanding. Haughton has
taken team which bowed to Tufts, has
worked it over, driven it hard ad has
turned out machine that hash given
fine account of itself.
The Army's work in downing Notre
Dame by lopsided score speaks mighty
well for the cadets, for they have trip
ped over the western team several times
The brilliant forward passing of Oil
phant, coupled with Vidal's ability to
catch the passes and cross the Notre
Dame goal line, was almost uncanny.
Yale's defeat of Colgate was pleas
ing one to students and alumni, but il
will not go very far toward boosting the
Eli stock for coming contests.
This week Harvard and Princeton
will clash. Harvard is favorite, but
Princeton has played just hard enough
to win its biggest games of the season
and every one admits that powerful
team represents Old Nassau this year.

The game was interesting throughout,
although Chemawa was heavier and was
able to gain more yardage than the Pa

Minnville. Although the Yamhill coun-
ty boys were lighter than the Salem
team they outplayed them at practically
every stage of the game. The lightness
of the Yamhill boys was to their ad-
vantage in making headway on the
heavy, muddy field, which impeded pro-
gress on the part of the Salem team.

FLORIDA AWAKENING TO
HER OPPORTUNITIES

Rarely day passes without bring
ing news through the state press of
the Importation of thoroughbred
cattle into Florida. Now it is herd
of fine stock from the middle west,
now it is full bred calf of some
noted strain; sometimes it is the en-
terprise of a newly arrived cattle
man bringing good stock to Florida,
sometimes it is that of Florida
ranchman who for years has been
content with the scrub product of
the average Florida range.
The interest lies in the fact that
the cattle growers of Florida are ap-
parently awakening to their oppor-
tunities. They have been reading
comparative figures of cattle values
in Florida and other states where
better stock has been kept, and they
are beginning to be ashamed of the
complacency with which they have
permitted Florida pastures to be de-
oted to scrub cattle and devastat-
ng ticks.
In Illinois, for instance, the aver
sc value of cattle is s73; in Flor
.da, it is 50. The average weight of
Wisconsin cattle is 963 pounds; of
Florida cattle it is 553.
But Florida is to be the greatest
cattle producing state in the Union.
There are millions of acres of fine
grazing land in the state. There
are intelligent measures being takn
against tn cattle tick. There is a
constantly growing tendency toward
the importation of thoroughbred
stock for the improvement of the
hardy scrub of Florida ranches. And
in the meantime, the newspapers are
helping materially in the good work,
with the publicity they are giving
to enterprises for the development Of
the cattle growing industry.-Miami

INDICATE PROSPERITY
Industrial Index

Uncle Sam is very paternal old
gentleman in some respects. When
Americans were stranded in Europe
at the beginning of the war, he FUR
nished them money and brought
them home. Ii you were marooned
on anuninhabited island Uncle Sam
might send a warship for you at a
cost Of several thousand dollars to
him, but he wouldn't supply you
with a one-cent postage stamp upon
any other than spot cash basis.
He is just as particular about money
orders, and all other business of the
postotiice, and so postoiiice receipts
have come properly to be regarded
as reliable barometers of business
conditions. This being true, the
showing made by February postal
receipt in Southeast cities is graft
flying.
In Atlanta, new high record for
February was made, and in Miami
all records for any month were
broken. In Birmin ham there was
a gain of 20 per cent as compared
with February, 1914, and a much
larger gain as compared with Febru-
airy of last year. A gain of more
than 80 per cent was made in Co
lumbus, and the gain at Gadsden,
Ala, was % per cent.
The list might be made longer,
but this is sufficient to show how
postal receipts are demonstrating
the returns of prosperity in the
Southeast.

Attorney General Wins Coupon
Case In Supreme Court

Tallahassee, March 16-Attorney
General West has received a copy of
the opinion of the supreme court of
the United States in the case of Rast
ct al. VS.. Van Deman & Lewis Com
pany ct al, which was recently de-
cided.
The question involved in this case
was the validity of the statute pass
ed By the legislature of 1913 impos-
ing license tax on dealers in mer-
chandise containing coupons redeem
able in premiums.
1t will be remembered that this
case was brought by certain mer-
chants to test the constitutionality
of the act, and all the tax collectors
in all the counties in the state and
all the prosecuting officers in the
courts of the state were made de-
PENDANTS in the suit.
The court below, composed of Fed
eral Judges Call, of Jacksonville;
Sheppard. of Pensacola. and Shelby,
of huntsville, Ala, held the statute
unconstitutional on the ground that
the state had no right or power to
legislate on the subject, and granted
an injunction against all the state
and county officers who were made
defendants. prohibiting them from
taking any action looking to the en-
forcement of the statute.
On the theory that the federal
judges had exceeded their authority,
and contending that a state had full
power to regulate this coupon prem
ium scheme and other similar prac-
tices, If it desired to do so, the attor-
ney general appealed the case to the
supreme court of the United States
for review of the decision.
In its opinion, which is the unani-
nous opinion Of all the judges of
the court, the contention made in be-
half of the state isu pheld, the judg-
ment Of the court below is reversed,
the injunction tying the hands of
the state officers is dissolved and the
suit Is ordered to be dismissed; the
court holding that the state may
deal With this coupon business as it
sees fit, even to the extent of pro-
hibiting it If it desires to do so.
In an interview given to the press
after the lower court had held this
statute unconstitutional and enjoin-
ed the state GERS from enforcing
it, when the case was appealed to the
supreme court the attorney general
said
''In my opinion it was never in
tended that the federal courts
should have or exercise such power
I do not believe that any such juris-
diction is vested in them, and as long
as am attorney general Of this
state this will not be conceded by
the state until affirmed by the high
est court to which the question may
be submitted"
The opinion of the supreme court,
sustaining the contentious made in
behalf of the state, is gratifying to
those who hold the view that a state
should have the right to regulate
matters of this kind without inter-
ference.
The statute involved was practic-
ally lost sight Of because of the i'm
portant principles that arose in the
litigation, and it was repealed by
the legislature of 1915; but this case
settles the question in this country
that state may regulate or prohibit
this and similar matters without
asking the consent of any supposed
superior authority.

PERIOD OF REIMBURSEMENT
THAT WILL FOLLOW THE
WAR WILL RkPEAT his
TORY AND SEND LAND
VALUES SOARING

Jacksonville, March 16-Com-
menting on the general improvement
in business conditions, which is no.
ticeable throus hout the South and
which is especially seen in Florida
Charles A. Brown, Jr., president OF
the Jacksonville Real Estate Board,
says there is every indication Oh
greater activity in real estate trans
actions in the near future.
Real estate, as an investment
promises to receive unusual atten-
tion from those having funds TO
place during the spring and sum-
mer." says Mr.. Brown, "and the
opening of this eason will, no doubt,
bring about the greatest sale of home
sites of recent years. Business con-
ditions in Florida are excellent and
real estate men are unit in predict
ing a record-breaking year.
Cause for Optimism
this optimism, and there is. Bust
ness houses of the state are report
ing an increasing volume Of trade.
and while the war in Europe has
been draining the feverishly fighting
nations, it has been giving a golden
harvest to America. Florida has
been slow in feeling the benefits dis
tributed over the country, but is now
surely beginning to experience that
prosperity, which for several months
has been sweeping over the North.
The farmers and truck growers and
fruit men have been getting good
prices for their produce, while the
railroads are busy and buying new
equipment on a generous scale, be-
speaking in no uncertain terms the
real advent of prosperity.
Il think it is wise to consider at
this time the matter of investing
money in something, which is not
subject to fluctuations of the stock
market, and which is not dependent
on the personal management Of the
other fellow. Real estate as an in
vestment, whether it be lot or
home site. a dwelling or businss
block, bringing sure and constant
revenue, never before offered so
many attractions. AS for unim-
proved country property, it must be
remembered that there is just so
much land in the state, and when it
is divided or sold it offers a hand
some profit, giving at the same time
the maximum OF safety to the in
weston.
