In all the history of the outdoor
gridiron game there has never been
recorded a season more replete with
fluctuations, reversals and revivals
of spirit and excellence than that
of the fail and winter of 1919, just
closed.
This condition of unrest" due
largely to the unprecedented influx
of good foot ball material hereto
fore unavailable, from the armies
of the United States, has been no.
ticed in all sections of the country
and principally in the east and west
r Two Undefeated Teams.
In the entire country but two
major teams continued throughout
the season without being defeated.
Nearly 100 elevens participated for
konors. These are Harvard univer-
s'tv of Cambridge, Mass, and the
University of Notre Dame of South
Bend, Ind. .,. ;,
In the western conference Chick"
Harley's Ohio state team, after a
clean record lost the conference
championship to Bob" Zuppke's IL
linois squadron in the last week OF
plav. 1t was terrible blow to the
ambition of the Ohio captain. Wis
cousin, Iowa and Minnesota were
close leaders in the final accounting,
Missouri Wins in Valley.
The Missouri Tigers won the Mis-
sour Valley conference, Nebraska
not being included, by defeating
Kansas at Lawrence, Kan. by de-
cisiye score. Both the Tigers and
the Jayhawks had been defeated by
the Cornhuskers in the two weeks
previous. The Huskers also tied
Minnesota.
Summing up the records of the
season in the national arena it is
easy to see that western foot ball
is on a par if not superior to east
ern. Syracuse. Rutgers and the
Army all fell before the attack OF
western combinations. The SYRIA
cuse western invasion is perhaps
most conclusive.
First, Indiana defeated Syracuse.
Then, a week later, Nebraska re-
peated. ...,
Alleged Over Confidence.
Tn both cases it was alleged by
the New York coaching staff, Head
Coach Buck" O'Niell leading II
the argument, that the allegese
champions of the east were bott
"over confident and "out of con
dition." But these very excuses con
tradict themselves.
Eastern critics are coming slowly
to realize the pre-eminence of west
ern foot ball as taught by "un
known" coaches. Knute K. Rockn.
of Notre Dame and Henry F
Schultz of Nebraska, are perhaps
the best example of western coach
ing talent. Yet both, facing ad
versitv at the start OF the season
that can hardly be estimated, pro

IN which he is placed in regard

thanking you for the generous sup
port you gave me four years ago
and to thank you for the magnifi
cent vote you gave me for Sheriff or
August 9Th, which again puts me in
the second primary, to be held
August 26th. / earnestly ask your
support and influence for this most
important office.
The duties of the sheriff are main.
ly clerical and executive. As to the
clerical duties, | claim to be fully
competent to discharge the work to
your entire satisfaction; and my &c
years experience as an executive of
ficer of the City of Amory has emf
nently qualified me to take care OF
that end of the work. During this
time | handled every class of crimi-
nails from the lowly vagrant to the
most desperate murderer and high
wayman that ever outraged and dis
turbed the happiness of any people.
| have chased them over this coun-
try with only faint clues, stood up
under their fire and brought them to
the bar of justice.
Now | wish to remind you that
the returning negroes. having tasted
of social equality in other countries,
and sorry to say. in some parts of
our own country, are beginning to
commit the most fendish outrages
that ever disturbed civilization and
the sanctity of our homes, causing
the most dangerous riots. Your
next sheriff will in all probability
be called upon to deal with just
such uprisings as many sections OF
our country have experienced within
the last few weeks.
Do you want a man for sheriff
who has the courage to stand up in
front of you and your loved ones
and your property? Can John Lew
is be depended upon in such emer-
gencies? Ask those who know me
best. | promise you here and now
to be on the front lines, and that /
will not stay at home and send "a
deputy to cope with such conditions.
| am making this race on my
merits and qualifications. / am
not and will not be a party to any
political ring. | have an abiding
faith in the voters of Monroe county,
and a square deal is all that | ask.
If you will elect me your sheriff,
| shall strive diligently to make you
an obliging and efficient officer land
shall use all means at my command
to uphold the law and maintain or
der. And at the end of my four
years as your sheriff, | shall return
to you my commission unsullied
and unstained. earnestly endeavor-
ing to win your plaudits: Well

Can the Governors Office be
Bought

Russell has no money to make
the fight on, and is relying solely
upon the efforts of his friends to
help him in the fight. On the
other hand. Johnston has behind
him men of unlimitedmeans who
are willing 10 spend their money
to the limit 10 put him in the
Governors chair. The entire
State is being flooded with liter
AZURE in Johnston's interest, and
spell binders are going into al
most every county TO harrangue
the voters and tell them what a
bad fellow Russell is. AS an
evidence of'the extent of this use
of money, a gentleman well
known throughout the State said
10 the Sentinel the other day:
THE mails in Jackson are
being flooded with Johnston lit
erature. Wagon loads of it are
being hauled through the streets
10 the poStofficelike bales of hay.
In Kinds county alone four men
are employed. at a salary of 5000
per month each. and all expenses.
TO do nothing but buttonhole the
voters of that county between
now and the date of theprimary.
This does not take into account
the office force and other paid
help at headquarters, but is for
outside help exclusively"
If they can afford to spend that
much money on ward heelers"
in one county, how much will it
take to cover the State in a like
manner? And likewise. who is
putting up all this money?
Mr.. G. w. Ferguson. former
President Oftthe Mississippi Trav-
elers' Association, offers TO make
affidavit that John Armstrong, a
champanion of. Mr.. Johnston,
told him that money would do
anything, OF words to that effect,
and that quite a number of Mr..
Johnston's wealthy friends of
Clarksdale had a meeting at
which several donated or sub
seribed $40, 600 each to Mr.. John
ston's campaign fund; that SO, 900
or $4,000 was pledged to Mr..
JohnstOn's campaign by his
friends, and that if he needed
more TO win the fight, they would
put il up. Mr.. Armstrong said
he was on the inside of Mr.. John
stOn's campaign affairs, and
KNEW WHAT HE WAS
ABOUT"
As Mr.. Armstrong, or anyone |
10 speak for him, has |
never publicly denied the truth of
Mr.. FergusOn's charge. it must be |
presumed to be true.
Hon. Woods c. Eastland, Gov.
Longino's campaign manager,
on the above as fol-
lows. and If is just as applicable
TO the case today as it was before
the first primary:
Ii is evident to us that
either Mr.. Johnston or some
one else is willing TO expend
money to secure Mr.. John
ston's nomination for Coy
ernor.
Can the voters be SIAM
peded? Are Mississippians
like sheep? Can they be
driven or caioled? Is it pos
sible that the nomination of
a candidate for Governor
can be secured by flooding
the State with circulars and
other literature few weeks
before the election? |,

Beware Of the
Something for
Nothing Fakir

You can put this down as an
infallible rule-there is no such thing
as something for nothing. If you keep
that principle in mind you will be buy
ing real food value with your dollars,
which, of course, means conservation
and saving.
Whenyou see anything offered
for sale cheap" beware. Something IS
wrong somewhere. In the long run you get
just about what you pay for and if you try to
get something for nothing you Will generally
get less than you pay tor.
Some thoughtless housewives
believe they effect a saving by using self
rising flour. In most cases they are buying an
inferior food and paying far more than the
article is actually worth. So the housewife who
thinks she is getting her baking powder for
nothing is mistaken She is paying dearly for
it and instead of getting a pure, plain flour and
baking powder added in the majority of cases
is getting poor grade of -four, cheap grade
of powder containing calcium Sulphate or
plaster of paris

State Tennessee address Atlantic C;, said:
