When one who hasn't been to the front lines is asked why football fits a man for the job he has to do lover there, he has to get down to facts to prove the point There are two out standing facts to prove the cause of football in this war.
 First, the wholesale voluntary en- listment of varsity players the coun- try over |.
 Second, the splendid record of these same men as officers and fighting men. Of course, there is the third fact, that the government approves Of football, but this is due more to the record of football men at the front than to a theory that football is c. K.
 Must Be Better Man.
 "Now when we get down to the reason why football is a fine sport for army mon we have to look into the game and the similarity be- tween the sport and war itself. There are a few broad principles governing tho two. Tn each the se- crct of success lies in tho concen- tration of tho most men at a given point at proper time. Ard in each the individual who ovcrromes his antagonist must have reason for do- ing so. He has to be a better man at the game.
 Tn football the tear, is s,eccess- ful because the individual who ar rives- at the given point ct the given time disposes of his opponent by mastery of the rudimentS of the ~ame. He is a fine man in the in- reference, if he is on 9ttack, or hc is a fine man at brea king interference and tocklin@. if he is on defence In war the individual who arrives at a given point at- a given time disposes of his opponent hy a mastery of the bayonet or of m0rllsmapship.
 "AH these points are rot entirely matters of physical trai1inr.r Ccur- age morale which is nothing more than the spirit which permits one to carry on because of the necessity of or lr.-e for the job ill hand are just as necessary.
 American Spirit Fine.
 "One thin@ that distinguishes our army from that of the Roche. is the spirit of the Yanl1s in this flghting. This spirit is nothing if Not patriot ie,'. If is o belief that the cause is just and that one should willingly give his all to it. Now nur Amer ican @an0e of football teaches us nothing if it does not build up onr spirit.

GRAIN Price SLUMP
PLEASES OFFICIALS
Maximum Oat Prices Break Back
of That Speculation.

Chicago. Feb. 23-The Food Ad-
ministration, as well as officials OF
the Chicago Board of Trade, were
greatly pleased as they witnessed the
big break in the grain market to-
day. 1t was a case Of liquidation by
the larger holders and the selling
tors to get out of their lines.
The losses were 1-2 to 4 is cents
for oat futures but only Ia to L.
cent in corn. The maximum price
on corn was fixed some time ago, and
speculators have about deserted that
market in consequence. The maxi
mum price on oats in the Chicago
market, which was fixed at 90 cents
on Thursday, was the straw that
broke the camers speculative back
today. Maximum prices were fixed
at SO cents at Kansas City and at 90
cents at Winnipeg. This action Of
the outside market was a reflection
OF the knowledge that Chicago grain
men stand close to the Food Admin
istration and are in line to do every
thing that is asked by the people at
Washington.
Although the business in oats was
largely in the way of liquidation by
longs 1t showed greater activity than
in many weeks.
The fixing Of price maxinums for
hog products on Thursday not only
caused them to dwindle to smaller
proportions but also some liouidation
and short selling. The mraket on the
whole was lower.

Two gathering centers are dis
tinctively mentioned, and the main
tenance Of a separate autonomy for
the ancient kingdoms OF judah and
Israel is repeatedly affirmed in Scrip
ture, with Jerusalem and Zion as the
respective capitals. In the light OF
modern revelation by which many an
cient passages are illumined and made
clear, we hold that the Jerusalem OF
Judea is TO be rebuilt by the ress-
sembIed house OF Judah, and that Zion
IL TO be built up on the American
continent by the gathered hosts OF
Israel. other than the Jews. Whcn
such shall have been accomplished.
Chsist shall personally rule in the
earth, and then shall be realized the
glad fulfillment: FOR OUT OF
ZION SHALL GO FORTH THE LAW.
AND THE WORD OF THE LORD
FROM JERUSALEM" lisa. 2:3; see
also Joel. 3:16; Zeph., $40.
Book OF Mormon prophecies are
plain in defining the extent and pUr-
pose Of the Iatter-day gathering. Be
Il remembered that IL was the people
who once constituted the kingdom OF
Judah, the Jews. not the entire house
Of Israel, who rejected Jesus as tho
Son Of God and the foreappointed Re-
deemer. BY the Nephites who dwelt on
the American continent, an ISraelitiEh
branch. He was received and worship
ped as the Christ Csee Book OF Nor
mon. Nephi ID; and the tenor OF
Book OF Mormon scriptures warrants
the inference that He was accepted
by the Lost Tribes. TO whom He went
TO minister in person after His several
VisitationE in the reEurrected state 10
the Nephites. (See 3 Nephi l5:l5 and
1918: compare : Nephi 29:l2-l3.D
But the Jews are promised redemp-
tion. and the possession OF the land
given unto their fathers. Their re-
turn to Palestine has already been
we'll begun; and one OF the prospective
results OF the world war Is TO be the
clearing OF the way for their speedy
gathering.
The important part allotted 10 the
Gentiles. those not OF the lineage OF
Israel, Is defined by Book OF Nor
mon prophets. II is the privilege or
the Gentiles TO assist in the gathering
Of the Jews on the Eastern, and the
other branches OF Israel on the West
eTn continent; and so far as they
shall accept the Gospel OF Jesus Christ
they shall be numbered with the cove
nant people and share with them the
plentitude OF blessings. In their own

General market conditiOns-Three warm days,
Que Of which was rainy. helred 10 cause the de-
mand to be very slow and drlggy the first Of
the week. Yesterday, however. II improved a
little. The most Of the receipts were in on con-
dition and Salesmen forced many sales on al
most everything in order to move stock rapidly.
BEEF-Receipts were heavy and the most OF
them wcrs not in very good condition when un-
loaded. salesmcn experienced considerable DIFF
hcllty in their efforts TO move such stocks at
prices much below the market. Sausage manu-
factu-ers bought heavily and that helped to re-
lleys the situation considerably. Beef in good
condition was a slow sale at prices about in line
with last week. Very few good and choice
steers were offered. They brought from 1880 to
gO. The liberal receipts Of COWS consisted
sals at all times. Prices on common and mo
dunn grades ranged from 100 to l40o.
vEAL-The few Western dressed calves offered
uers hard TO move at Il.00 TO 800 on acco'Ipt
Of their poor quaHy. The supply Of local
dressed was liberal. The market was dull and
veal sold at 27.o0 TO 23oo yesterday.
PoRK-AIthOugh receipts Of pork were only
moderate. the demand did not improve any over
last week, and the market showed very little
strength at any time. On sccount Of the poor
condition Of arrivals a wide range Of prices pre-
vailed. Most of the medium and light Ioins
sold at 500 10 100.
LAMB-Until yesterday only Q moderate sup
ply Of lambs were on the market. Prices have
held steady at . good 100 advance over lasa
week On everything that was in good condition;
stale lambs were sacrificed at almost any price
bio
MUTrON-No mutton was on the market.
MARKET CLOSING-By extraordinary efforts
OF dealers, most Of the stocks that needed NOV
ing are being cleaned up fairly well. Late ar
nTals Of beef in good condition are being held
at arm prices. Some beef 10 being frozen. Pork
and lambs are closing about steady with efforts
being made to clean up. Veal will not al Be
sold.

IN new SUGAR CROP
Attractive Terms for Loans Urge
Speculative Impulse.

Attractive terms offered probably
will cause the participation of local

with large New York institutions. by
the Food Administration to form a
syndicate to provide 800. 600, 900 credit
for the movement Of the crop.
Syndicate members will take ninety
day notes or acceptanees at l per
cent above the prevailing effective
basic rate established by the Federal
Reserve Bank Of New York for Ie-
discount of bank acceptances.
The new issue of $5OO,000,000 Treas
ury certificates will be offered to

close March 5. They will bear il-2
per cent interest and will be issued
in denominations as low as 500.
