The classic for 1916 in football
was played on the Holy Rosary
grounds Monday afternoon, when
Captain McFarland's Wilson's and
Nelson Filzeerald's Marshalls play
ed off their scoreless tie. A delect-
able game, spiced in it's many
courses with a eoodly sprinklins Of
pep and ginger, during which each
side scorned to take minutes for rest
between quarters or halves, gave
the Wilson's rooters at its close the
occasion to rejoice in a "a to II
victory. A charge was brought IL
eainst the time keeper for coaching
his time piece but the penalty was
not allowed.
Most of the scoring for the Wilson's
was done by H. B. Mudd and Nc
Farland.
Paul Powers and Murray Arm
strong hung up the points for the
Marshalls.
Russell Vest efficiently refereed
the game. The record of the games
played so far gives each team a
vicInrv and a scnrelesa tie.

Many mothers of families in Penn
sylVania have reason to be grateful to
the person who recommended Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is
put up fer the single purpose of curing
diseases peculiar to women. Another
point in its favor: it is a temperance
remedy and does not contain a single
drop of alcohol or OF any narnotic. Its
ingredients are printed on the wrapper.
1t banishes pain, headache, back
ache, low spirits, hot flashes, dragging
down sensation, worry and sleeplessness
surely and without loss of time.
Why should any woman continue to
worry, to lead a miserable existence,
when certain help is at hand?
What Doctor Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription has done for thousands it will
do for you. Get il to-day!
The sluggish liver can be cured by
the use of Dr.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
Biliousness, coated tongue, bad breath,

use of these tiny sugar-coated granules
purely vegetable and harmless. They

MASTERLY PEACE
FILM IS SHOWN
Battle Cry of Peace" a Solid
Fact Story Told in Fiction
Style

AS one looks at THE Battle Cry of
Peace" the film being shown at the
one is certainly reminded of a promi-
nent writer's series on preparedness
which appeared in national magazine
6gt sh9Et time fonGed age he tb Battle Cry
"Defenseless America" by Hudson
Maxim, and is. intended as a picture les
Which deals with hard, cold facts. There
is thread of a story running through
the film. which would take in itself but
a, very short time to show; rather does
the story serve as a human-interest
foundation for presenting facts which
otherwise might grow wearisome. }.
Stuart Blackton in writing the story
did not draw extensively upon his inn
agination and thus present a play
which would entertain; rather did he
picturi2e the two forces which are con-
tending to-day for supremacy regard
i'm armament and weave a story which
exploited the situation involved. The
result is what might happen If q hos
tile nation were to invade our land, TAX
ing into consideration, of course, the
present state of armament. Conjecture.
to be sure, is not going to carry either
SIDE very far toward its destination,
but picture such as is shown in this
film, even though one remerebers that
1t is only possibility is going to find
a ready response in every American who
thinks out for himself how his country
should be situated 20 meet eventuali-
ties, be they ever so remote.
As a film THE Battle Cry of Peace"
is mastery. IT isn't tiresome. and
while there are parts which might be
termed gruesome, they are almost in
stantly relieved by touches of humor or
spectacular incidents. Most notable is
the acting of the principals. but even
more so is tho manner i'm which the ac-
tion of the story is interviewer with
the facts that the producers of the film
desired to bring home to the minds of
the audience. Neutrality has been pre-
served in a most approved fashion, and
there can be no doubt that "The Battle
Cry of Peace" n call to arms against
thought to fathom its paradox is a
film intended for purpose that no true
American will disregard, no matter how
opposed he may be to preparedness"
1t is a picture done in fiction style with
a hundred times more weight in con-
scientious effort and actual fact than
fiction.

To Organize Supply Company
THE WORLD NEEDS THE
PRACTICAL DREAMER
Spokane Spokesman Review


An automobile baked. The prac-
teal chauffeur piled his tools and
oiled literally. No use. The auto
refused to run. Finally an old man
who had never seen an auto before
said: Perhaps the gasoline's given
out" That proved to be the trouble.
Gasoline was administered and the
auto moved again.
Gilbert Chesterton, the prince of
paradox, appeals on this basis for
impractical men. Government, edu-
cation and business, he complains,
have been given over to so-ocalled
men until it would bless the world to
have imagination enter these
spheres. Americans especially de-
preciate the man whose Imagination
is not hobbled by probabilities. We
admire the man whom we consider
hardheaded, scorn the fellow whom
we call dreamer. We forget that
Columbus, whom the Spanish schol-
ars styled visionary, proved to be
the practical man and that the
imagination of Jefferson rather than
his hardheadedness dictated the
Louisiana purchase. Yet that seem,
ing folly did more than any other
one act of the 10th century to create
imperial America.
Henry Ford strikingly illustrates
the union of the practical and the
impractical His European adven-
ture last winter appears to have
ueet an Impractical hisionb But
his vision of our fields being plowed
by motor-driven machines is a reali-
Fable vision, WHICH, when fulfilled,
will enrich the United States and the
world. His vision of peace for Eu-
rope ignored facts and rested upon
unrealities. His vision of motor
plows takes account of actualities
and is based in concrete facts.
The so-called practical man, the
man in Imagination or vision, would
have it that fields must always be
plowed by horses. The so-called i'm
practical man, the man who sees
beyond facts into their possibili-
ties of expansion, perceives that one
reaping machine or moving ma
chine or blowing machine can do the
work of many men at once and do il
better.
The despised dreamer often is the
man who. thinks in the large and the
terms Of the future instead of in the
small and terms of today. His
dreams eyentuate in action, and the
is.0n has ener2y to transmute Itself
into achievements. The world doe:
IE1, nod fewer practical men, But
. d. s.ra.y has use for many more o
/ he Impractical men.
