IF the army post bonds carry,
II will mean a whole lot for base
ball In Tacoma, as we'll as other
sports. l most certainly hope that
the bonds carry. both for the bene-
fit of Tacoma as a city, and for
the Northwestern league"
Robert l.. Blewett, president of
the Northwestern league, dropped
into Tacoma yesterday afternoon
on a brief business trip. 1t seems
that Seattle is keeping herself
pretty well in touch with the Ia
coma army post plan, and Blew
EFT knew all about it.
"The 1917 season looks awfully
good" said Blewett. "All cities
are improved over last year. But
II the army post comes to Taco
ma, II will provide a large num-
Der of good fans from the soldier
and officer ranks, and be a boon
to athletics of all kinds. Tacoma
has a wonderful opportunity.

one of the features on the new
Pantages bill.
On the big double feature bill
that will begin the new week at
the Pantages are six standard acts
OF vaudeville, each of widely III
versified character, yet each star
in its line. II is one of the biggest
bills coming over the circuit in
many months and everywhere Ii
has been credited with being an
entertainment of exceptional
merit.
OF the two headline features,
perhaps the biggest novelty is the
performance of Winston's water
lions and diving girls. There are
six water lions ana two pretty
girls who disport themselves in a
huge glass tank.
Sharing the headline position
will be the La Scala sextet of sing
ers--a group of famed interna-
tional opera stars who present an
deliberately staged and costumed
offering that will delight the low
ers of good singing. The stars
OF the organization are Lillian
Blanca and Signor Carlo Bravo,
soprano and tenor.
An old favorite is Joe Roberts.

danger Of foreign competition in the

Every great foreign nation is now
on protective basis. Those at war
will put a wall around their borders

late domestic production. They will
remit taxes on exports to exporters to
enable them to enter the American
market. Every foreign nation needs
gold and there is more gold in the
United States than anywhere else.
The only way to get this gold is to
send cheap goods here, to undersell
