Winners Don't Use Il.

Winners Don't Use It.
I have been asked to tell what !
think Of the liquor question and have
to break over the traces at the jump.
l do not discuss the "IiQuor question"
Spades are always spades with me,
and always call them spades. That
is why use the word booze. l can
talk about booze and its effects, but
such a nice expression as the liquor
question" gets my goat. Giving the
stuff the right handle can grab it and
tell all know about it.
Here it is, in one bunch: Booze
doesn't make winners.
There never was q winner in the
world that built his winning on BOOZE
l don't care what line you get into,
you won't find one winner who used
the stuff to his advantage.
Ask Grover Cleveland Alexander
how much booze has helped to make
him the best pitcher that Charles
| Weeghman could buy to give the Cubs
a pennant.

and ask Coach Stage how much booze

heart if booze ever helped him when
he was first-basing around the coun
try. Or ask him how much booze has
done for Eddie Collins or Red Faber
or that center fielder of his, Happy
Felsch.
You'll get the same answer any
where you go-the old, old answer tt
the socalled "liquor question" Il
doesn't pay, it never has paid, and i
never will pay.
And winners don't use it. They
can't use it and win. And, after all
the Lord must love a winner. Fol
winning means clean living, and clear
living means efficiency, and eficienc.
means decency. None of these thing

LIQUOR on Ships.

"A most interesting thing is the
large and increasing number OF Brit.
ish officers whom one hears speaking
sympathetically, and even approving.
ly, of the total abstinence from liquor
in force on the American ships" says
Lewis R. Freeman, Lieutenant Royal
Navy Volunteer Reserve, writing in
the Outlook on How the Officers OF
the British and American Ships in
European Waters Are Making Ac.
Quaintance" "The fact that the Am.
orleans are practically unanimous in
declaring that they would never favor
going back to the old regime has made
a good deal of impression on the Brit.
ish, and more and more frequently
hear the older Royal Navy officers
saying that they wish they had the
same anti-liquor rules in force on their
own ships.s
in these and score of similar
things one has evidence every day
that, while the British fleet is con-
slant inspiration to the Americans,
the coming Of the latter has not been
without it's 'toning' effects on the form.

The Saloon Outside the Aviation Camp
Senator Overman few weeks ago
exhibited in the Senate brace taken
from an aeroplane and showed that 1t
had been sawed in two, joined to-
gether with lead, painted over, and
then put back. The purpose was to
so weaken the machine that when
that machine went into the air and,
in turning, brought strain on the
brace, the brace would break and an
American boy would 60 down to his
death. That was the work of a Ger
man spy, and If they find that German
spy, they will shoot him to death, and
he ought to be shot to death.
But is the man who builds a saloon
at the gate of the aviation camp and
tries to put into the aviator weakness
where there ought to be strength, any
less an enemy of our country than the
German spy who hampers with the
aeroplane? Surely the man is as i'm
portant as the machine!-Hon. w. J.

When the usually early downpour
began recently, there were thousands
of trays filled with drying prunes laid
out in the orchards. A soaking would
ave ruined them. A great part Of the
crop had been contracted for BY the
government for the army. Frantic
calls for help were sent out by the or
chardists. 1t was then that the boys
in khaki responded. AS If by magic
they appeared and reported in squads
to the vartous growers and asked
how they might be of service.
George NJ. Herbert who owns many
acres Of prune orchards paid the fol-
lowing tribute to the soldiers:
without them we would have
faced a tremendous loss. They're the
greatest and most willing workers I
ever saw. They just took one look

railroad near Geneva, ILL.,, about mid
night last night, was begun today by
federal authorities and agents of the

hurt were expected today to recover
from their injuries, although TWO
were said to be severely hurt. The
train was e%astbound and being be-
hind the time was reported to be run

nine of the thirteen cars left the rails
and tipped over. The accident was
reported to be due to a split rail, over
which the engine and the. first three
cars passed safely; two Of the nine
sleepers that ran off rolled all the
way over and only the last Of the
thirteen cars held~~ to the track,
which was torn up for a considerable

corn MARKET
LOWER TODAY

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Selling on the
part Of leading commission houses
gave the corn market a swing to de-
cidedly lower levels today. Uncer-
tainty which prevailed at the outset
was quickly overcome. Aggressive
support seemed to be lacking. Open
ing figures which ranged from 5-8
cents decline to 3-8 cents advance,
with November 1927 IL to 1923, and
lowed by minor fluctuations and then
a break all around.
Wet weather that appeared likely to
restrict the movement of oats made
the oats market relatively firm. Prices,
however, reflected in some degree the
weakness of corn. After opening un-
changed to "a cents higher. with
November 50 5-8 to rs. values eased
down somewhat. but kept within mar
row limits. .
A report that the Allies had agreed
as to armistice terms acted as the
chief bearish factor. There was also
