EX.COV. SANDERS AID.
DRESS WELL RECEIVED

FIX. Coy. J. y. Sanders was here Sat.
urday and at > 80 he addressed a large
gathering of Bienyille Parish citizens
at the court house, on the subject OF
"a League Of Nations Hon. w. D.
Golf acted as chairman of the meeting
and Dr. J. NJ. Mosley with a brief but
eloquent talk, presented the speaker.
Gov. Sanders did not attempt to
take up separately each article Of the
league plan, but laid stress upon the
benefits to the world of a League of
Nations. He said we could not hope
that through such league war
could be abolished entirely from the
world, but rather that the plan Of
fered a way Of settling the differences
that might arise between nations with
out rcsorting to force Of arms.
He stated that the greatest difficulty
in getting the various nations to ac-
cept the plan for league Of nations
is that it is something new. The same
difficulties arose when the colonies
gaining their independence from Eng
land, desired to unite some Klnd of
league to protect themselves, drafted
the Constitution of the United States.
It's ratification by the various indie
pendent colonies or states was fought
as bitterly as the present league plan.
because it was new and untried. Its
adoption did not prevent the civil war,
yet doubtless had not the colonies
bound themselves together under the
constitution, there would have beer
continuous strife and bloOdshed be-
tween the states
Mr.. Sanders stated that the league
plan was an American idea. and
originated by Americas greatest minds.
and should be backed up by American
people, who by entering the war. say
ed the world from Prussianism and
German kultur.
A large crowd was present to hear
Gov. Sanders. and accorded him libcr-
al applause from time to time.
After the conclusion Of his address.
the Bienville Parish Chapter of the
Red Cross. with Hon. W. D. Golf as
spokesman. presented to the Parish Of
Bienville. a large service flag, on which
was a star for every Bienville Parish
soldier who entered the service as a
volunteer or through induction by the
draft Those who were killed or died
from other causes while in service

star; the Others by one of blue In

tween 800 and 900 blue ones.

practice this winter.
According to the announcements
of the coaches in the city the 1920

ing an invasion into Iowa and the
Dakotas. He will have his entire
quintet back this year, among them
are "Chuck" Kearney, Eddie Null
holland, Eddie Haley, Ray Moonan,
Howard Vandiver and Jimmy Con-
don.
The Omaha University's have al
ready started practice and will turn
out winning team, according to
Coach Ernie Adams.

negotiating with schools in Chica-
go and Missouri to fill the open

Harvard Continues
Grind.

Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 2S -Making
Sunday 4 day OF semi-rest both the
Harvard and the Oregon foot ball
teams, preparing for their game here
on New Years day, confined them
selves today to one practice period
each. Harvard players passed the
afternoon sight seeing about motion
picture studios.
To Reduce Weight.
In the hope that his players will
add to their weight between now
and Thursday Coach "Shy" Hunt
ington has decided one light train
irg period will be sufficient, Wilde
Trainer Donovan of the Harvard
squad has ordered two periods of
hard practice for his charges with a
view to reducing their weight.
Much of Harvard's practice will
be secret from now on. according
to official announcements, although
the general style of playing followed
by the fasteners is so we'll known
that the secrecy will be required
principally for a few special maneu-
ve.s in which Head Coach Bob
Fisher is perfecting his men.
Harvard Is Favorite.
If there is any difference in the
public opinion of the two teams
Harvard is probably a slight IA
vorite.
Officials chosen late last night for
the game are:
Referee-George Varnell, Spo-
kane, Wash, newspaper man.
Umpire-Ernest Quigley, National
league umpire.
Head Linesman - P. Lowden
