Because SO many people get our
church confused with others,
wish to make a few statements to
correct this misunderstanding.
Because Of the name of our church
many people connect their thoughts
with the Utah church. We have
no connection with it. We do not
teach. practice or believe the doe
trine of polygamy, norN have We
ever done so. We regard pOlygamy
as unseriptural, unscientific and
contrary to the nobler sentiments
of manhood, and look upon it with
Unmixed adherence as a menace
to that great cornerstone of civil
iZation, the home. We believe in
God, the Father, Jesus Christ, the
Son, just as those facts are set
forth in the bible.
I'VE believe the book of Nor
mon was written by the Jews, who
came to America 500 years before
Christ, and that these facts are
plainly set forth in the bible. and
these Jews were the tribe of Jo-
seph. The book Of Mormon has.

]. r. Wade, teamster who drove
the mules which were responsible
for the rough and tumble fight be-
tween. Wade and Thor Norberg,
proprietor OF the Norberg music
house, today challenged the state
ment made by MIR. Norberg that
the latter had finished the victor
in the kbattle.
I'm snot what you call an ath-
lete as MIR. Norberg says he is, but
I've got 800 in my pockets that
SAYS that can lick him in a rough
and tumble fight" Wade said today.
Anybody knows that you can't
treat mules like babies when you
are driving them. It's pretty hard
to figure out way that you can
abuse a mule with a whip. The
fact is was in a pretty bad posi-
ton. The team was pulling up
into an automobile and | had to
draw them in. But if Mr.. Norberg
still thinks that he can lick me,
I've got $100sto bet on myself. I'm
a teamster and he's q business

me. saith the Lord Wherefore,
thus saith the Lord, l have led this
people forth out of the land of Je-
rusalem, by the power OF mine
arm. that I might raise up unto
me a righteous branch from the
fruit of the loins Of Joseph.
Wherefore, 1, the Lord God, will
not suffer that this people shall do
like unto them of old Wherefore,
my brethren, hear me, and harkel
to the word OF the Lord: For there
shall not any man among you have

chastity OF women
The book of Mormon does not
teach poIygamy, but it teaches
faith in the Messiah, and conf
dence in the bible, and makes no
pretense of taking its place, but it
tells of the Jews. and also of the
people spoken Of in the 18th chap
ter of Genesis. that they were scat
tered upon the face of all the
earth. These people inhabited an
cient North and South America.
The records and architectural re-
mains of these people prove the
book of Mormon to be true, as does
the prophetic language of Ezekiel
81: 1871, where he says of the
stick OF Judah and the stick of
Joseph they shall be one in mine
hand and the book of Mormon
says, And after the house of Israel
shall be scattered, they shall be
gathered again: or, in fine, after
the Gentiles had received the full
ness Of the gospel, the natural
branches of the olive tree. or the
remnants of the house of Israel,
should be grated in, or come to
the knowledge of the true Messiah,
their Lord and their Redeemer.'
Il can only give a small part of
the evidence that may be added to
prove the divinity of the book of
Mormon in this article, but, sure
ly, in the light of what the book
presents, you cannot afford to cast
it aside as unworthy of notice and
consideration I know its coming
forth is marvellous, but that was
one of the characteristics of the
sealed book Of Isaiah 20. 1t is a
marvellous work and a wonder.
Therefore, write unto you Gen
tiles says t. book of Mormon.
and also unto you. house of Israel,
when the work shall commence.

to return to the land of your in
heritance'
That this great war will result
in the Jews preparing, and the re-
turning again to the land of their
Inheritance, no one will deny"

Of sunset, only the color showed so
far north that this solution seem

bank of high clouds in the north
which. because of peculiar atmOS-

a great distance. The sun, which
is about as far north as il ever

Jack Fullbright, Noyinger, and 9TH
ers whom Columbia rooters will see
in action Saturday are football play
ers are due to fight for first string I'll
ger honors next year.
At a recent football practice on
Rollins Field Captain Stankowsh was
sitting in chair on the sidelines. A
freshman had been detailed to carry
STAINS chair as the ball advanced.
AS the captain was moved to keep up
with sudden dash of Lincoln's he
said: You can't hold that against the
Varsity. That fellow can get away
when there isn't another man in the
Valley can do it."
Coach Woody will have his fresh
man squad at Parsons studio the first
of the week for a freshman picture
and at that time Tiger rooters will
have their first opportunity to know
just who will be the numeral men
this year. The freshman team is be-
ing pointed to the game with Miller's
scrubs Saturday, and the freshman
coach is promising a real football
battle for those who want to keep
fresh on the gridiron sport during
Missouri's "off-week."

SPORT

Hundreds of the most loyal of the
"old Guard" are expected at Rollins
Field every afternoon from now until
next Wednesday morning, when the
team will leave for the land of the
enemy. The adoption of Beat KAN

things: first, that the Missouri rooters
will have chance to see Just how
much of that touted enthusiasm thew
really have; second, that the team
NAV go away with twice as much
fight, because it will know that the
school is behind it in a whole souled
way: third, that the University of
Missouri may inaugurate a custom
which will be the beginning of a new
era in clean sportsmanship in the
Missouri Valley.
The cheer leaders will be there, the
band may come out, but what the
coaches are asking for most strongly
is your own presence, Mr.. Tiger sup

II Was Woody, Not
Savage, That Scored.

Robert w. Jones, Columbia attor
ney, who has followed the Tiger foot
ball team for the last twenty year.
and in that time has been personally
acquainted with more Tigers, perhaps
than any other Missourian writes the
Missourian as follows:
Il attended a football mass meeting
recently and heard some oratory that
was most satisfying, but, to keep the
record straight, want to set right
some statements made.
"One speaker said that Phil Saw
age made the touchdown in the 1917
Missouri victory over Kansas in 1914
1t was Ozark" Woody. This same
speaker said Robert NJ. Graham play
ed against Tony James. He played
against Keeling. and Tony James lined
up opposite Victor H. Drumm. Per-
haps, after all, these little matters
should go unchallenged, but for the
thirty-third degree rooter, they are
of measurable importance. The fact
is, the papers in Kansas City said Sav-
age made the touchdown in that
game because one eagle-eyed reporter
declared that was who it was, and the
rest of us, who really knew better,
allowed ourselves to be talked into it.
Ralph H. Turner, now of Mexico
City, will recall this incident"

Fear Scalpers
Are Busy Again.

The possibility that "scalpers" had
bought large blocks of tickets for the
Missouri-Kansas football game was
suggested today at Rothwell Gymna-
SUM. In the days when the game was
held at old Association Park in Kan
sas City it was nothing unusual to
meet the man who had paid $40 or S12
for a good box seat. 1t was the big
gest game, in point of attendance, of
the year in Kansas City and scalp
ers" in those days reape,l harvest.
The fact that the Lawrence game
will be championship contest, that
it is the first big game in the Valley
since the war ended and the compara-
tive nearness of Lawrence to Kansas
City, may have convinced the profess
sional ticket buyer to enter the game.
In no other way can Columbians ac-
count for completely sold out stadi-
UNI more than a week before the game.

U. H. s. and Kewpies
Clash on Turkey Day.

The University High and the Colum-
Dia High School football teams will
Clash on Rollins Field Thanksgiving
Day for the championship of Colum-
bia. Both schools will be represented
ty good teams. Comparative scores
favor University High slightly.
The Jefferson City High Echool
eleven beat University High 6 to 0,
while it trounced the Columbia High
School team IL to 0. So far this
season the University team has won
two games and lost three. The first
three games of the year were disas-
trous for the home team; it lost the
first game to Jefferson Sity, 6 to 0,
the second to Kirksville, 21 to 0, and
the third to Kemper, "a to 0. Then
the University Highs braced and took
the next two games, winning from
Brookfield, 81 to 0, and from the Full
ton Deaf and Dumb School, AZ to 6.
Next Saturday the team will play the
Fulton High School. The outstanding
star of the team is Fred Stewart,
right halfback. Weir, quarterback,
and Reed, end, are showing up well,
also.
The Columbia High School team has
played but three games this year,
beating Sedalia and the Fulton Deaf
and Dumb team, and losing to Jeffer-
son Cit Moody, at center, and
Lester at end, are playing good foot
ball. Although the past records of
the two teams this season give
slight edge to University High, the
teams are well matched, and a close
game is expected Thanksgiving Day.
