Mr. Hughes Bars Himself

In his speech OF acceptance Mr..
Hughes severely scored President
Wilson for having recalled Ambas-
sador Herrick from France and sent
Mr.. Sharp In his stead.

was Ambassador Herrick. said
Mr. Hughes. or that the nation

the attention OF the world 20 the
inexcusable yielding OF national
interest TO partisan eIpediency.

American Wheat
For Americans

America has much more than
enough new wheat 70 feed itself the
coming year. There are also re-
naming tens OF millions OF bushels
OF last years crop, which was fully
quarter greater than any before
produced In the United States. This
means that our supply OF wheat to
day Ia one OF the greatest on record.
Tho new crop alone will approx
mate zoe, 900 900 bushels. which Ia
much IN excess OF this country's re-
quirements for year In view OF
this vast amount OF wheat, what
possible excuse can there be for
the threats TO increase the price OF
bread? II Is true wheat has ad-
vsnced rapidly In price, owing large
ly 10 foreign buying. But must the
American people be starved for
bread because their own supply OF
wheat n bought up by spectators
and sold 10 warning Europe? Must
every family in our land be taxed
more for bread Just 30 somebody
may reap a profit in selling Amert
can wheat abroad at an outrageous
ly high price7 Obviously tho FIRST
thing 20 do is 20 keep enough Amer.
lean wheat at home 20 feed all
American people with bread at a
reasonable and fair price. Any other
course should call for the instant
action OF our newly created fed.

We Have in Mind the Case
of a Ball Player-His Is
Only One in Thousands!

We have in mind a baseball player
who has just been taken back into the
BIG league.
Two baseball enthusiasts were dis
cussing him
One of them said he had never heard
q him before.
The other one knew all about him
recalled that he played before on a GER
tain American league team, but was
cent back to the minors.
He couldn't have amounted to much
pr he wouldn't have been sent back to
he minors" said one of them.
sOn the other hand" said the other,
Me was a great player. recall, for
cns thing, that he was great hitter"
How'd it happen, then" persisted
d. first man, "that the league let him
or
very easy to explain" said his
ekismd; BOOZE"
And that is what it was.
This man is a fine ball player; as
rood and little better than the aver
age, WHEN HE is RIGHT-WHEN
WHISKY is OUT OF HIS SYSTEM.
After they had sent him back to the
minors, he made up his mind he would
TT hack into the big league.
He Get out to conquer himself, and he
"a It.
He was soon showing his old-time
lcrm.
"A big league manager heard that he
had "cut out" the booze, that he had
gotten back into fit physical trim and
that he was playing his old-time game,
and sent word to him to come on and
Join his team.
We are with this ball player and want
20 zee him make good.
He knows what he's got TO do.
We make it hard for him, Of course,
With beer and whisky signs and invita-
lions everywhere and beer and whisky
ads In most of our newspapers, inviting
him back to the bottle, but if he fights
hard enough, he'll make it, IN SPITE
OF US.

We have in mind this ball player.
Unquestionably you have like case
IN mind-the case, perhaps, of the little
fellow who used to play around your
neighborhood, and who might have
grown to become successful business
man or lawyer or doctor or carpenter or
machinist or engineer or fireman or a
stone mason.
Maybe you have in mind the wedding,
when the belle of the neighborhood be-
came his wife; how prettily the house
was decorated; how beautiful and how
happy the bride looked, and how every
body threw rice when they left for the
train to take them on their honeymoon.
Then you may recall how a year or
two slipped by and you noticed the light
had gone from young wife's eye and
the worried look that had come into her
face, and how you wondered what had
come over her.
Pretty soon, somebody came to you
with the sad story.
Somebody came and said TO you
Her husband is drinking, heavily"
Later you heard that he had lost his
position, or that he had failed in bust
ness, or that he had fallen in his profes
: sion until men no longer would trust
him.
You must have some case Of the kind
h mind, because cases like it are com
mon.
No neighborhood is without one.
No small town is without several OF
them.
You can think of half dozen in nc
