TRUE SPORTING INSTINCT

er boy, looking bit fiustered, allowed
that he'd pay SIS.
The man who owned the pony bid
SIS. After whispering with his room
riate the freshman said $40. The
farmer boy, following two minutes OF
chatter by the auctioneer, raised the
bid a dollar.
A farmer looked the two boys over
humorously and announced in a loud
strong voice that the bid now stood at
S23. 1t stood there for long time
while the freshman looked earnestly
into the pony's large eyes and Won
dered how much money the farmer
hoy had. Finally the freshman made
it S24.
Freshman Is a Sport.
The cluster of bystanders seemed
to be pressing him against the pony
Their eyes were on his every move
He wanted to bolt. He whispered with
his roommate. They looked at the
ponys large eyes again and decided
that the animal was laughing at them.
The farmer boy took out his wallet
and fingered roll of one-dollar bills.
The auctioneer, at wink from the
owner, was barking: Going, going
all in! Going, going, g.
twenty-five dollars" said the
farmer boy in a small voice.
The freshman took a deep breath,
c!utched his roommate by the arm
and went down into an alley to count
the twenty-five dollars. 1t totalled-
minus the sporting instinct.
The roommate thought for two
days and then announced that the in
stinct had been sold at auction.

ARMY LIFE BOOSTS
SIZE OF BOARD BILL
Commons Manager Says Men
Have Bigger Appetites
Than Ever Before.
SERVES 800 MEALS
Price of Average Meal In
creases SO Cents Since
1917.
SERVES 800 MEALS

1t is not the increased cost of liv-
ing but the increased appetites of
students that makes the board bills
higher this year than ever before,
according to Stanley Sisson, manager
of the University Commons.
For example the average cost of a
meal in 1917 was II cents. Now it is
2G.6 cents. This is partly due to the
increased cost in some foodstuffs,
partly by the increased cost in labor,
but largely by the demand for heav-
ier and more expensive meals by the
students, especially by the men who
have been in the army.
For an illustration, more students
are eating meats than ever before.
In 1917 students received 20 cents
an hour for labor at the cafeteria
Now new men receive 25 cents an
hour, while the experienced ones re-
ceive 80 cents. The same number of
employees, about twenty, is used all
the time. This accounts for part of
the increased cost in meals.
The claim that the cost of food
stuffs is more than doubled is denied
by Mr.. Sisson, who quotes prices
from the two years for proof. For
example, bread costs twice as much
as in 1917; salads, pies and deserts
have increased 100 per cent and
cheese, flour products and few 9TH
er foods have doubled in price. But
to counteract it we find roundsteak,
hash and Irish stews the only meats
that have increased at all in price
during the two years. Ham is six
cents cheaper helping. Pork and
liver are cheaper while chops, roast
beef and chicken are the same. Eggs
are 5 cents higher a pair.
Most vegetables show an increase
in price of one or two cents i dish.
Some fruits are the same, while 9th
ers show an increase of one cent a
Gish. Fresh fruits are all l'ttle
higher. Cereals, however, are the
same in price, as is also butter, cream
cheese and few other foods.
This also takes care of part Of
the increased cost in meals, but the

AS you perhaps already know, the
several Goodyear factories are today
at full blast on the heaviest production
schedule they have ever undertaken.
Right now, for example, the output
OF our Akron plants alone approx
mates the astonishing figure of IS ,OOO
finished tires per day.
Yet this enormous total, easily the
largest daily volume ever attained by
tire manufacturer, still is insufficient
fully to satisfy public needs.
The demand for Goodyear Tires con-
tinues to increase and strengthen
beyond anything within our present
power to fulfill.
1t seems to us that nothing that has
been said Of Goodyear Tires Sc power
fully bespeaks their goodness as their
present unparalleled popularity.
This popularity takes on an addi>
tional significance in that it is based
wholly on the virtues inherent in
Goodyear Tires.

What greater tribute could there be

1t is possible you may find it difficult

In view Of this condition we suggest

VETS OF ALL AMERICAN
WARS MAY BE MERGED

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. "A
movement looking to the amalgama-
ton of all organizations of veterans
of American wars may be started at
the twenty-frst annual national en-
campment of United Spanish War
Veterans, which opened here today.
Resolutions proposing such merger
have been prepared for presentation
to the convention. Proponents of the
plan favor limiting each town to one
camp or unit of the central organiza-
ton. Other matters to come before
the Spanish War veterans are:
Reolutions memorializing congress
to grant age and disability pensions
to Spanish War veterans and to make
pensions payable monthly, instead of
quarterly.
Requests for absolute preference
to honorably discharged service men
and their widows in federal, state and
municipal employment.
Proposed amendment of the heme-
stead laws.
The annual election of officers is
scheduled for September 5, the clos
ing day of the encampment. Milton
A. Nathan, of San Francisco, junior
past department commander, has
been given the endorsement of the
California camps for the office of
commander-in-chief Of the national
