ALL GRID TEAMS IN ACTION
Practically Every Important Eleven In
Middle West Plays Today.

Chicago. Oct. 9.-Practically every
important football eleven in the mid
dlewest got into action today, several
playing their first game of the sea-
son, but the Minnesota-N Northwestern
contest at Evanston and the Chicago
Purdue clash here were the only ones
with any bearing on conference or sec
tional championships
These two games easily were the
most important of the day, for the
loser in each would be virtually elimi-
mated from the western conference
race. Minnesota was considered the
favorite over Northwestern, while in
the Chicago-Purdue match there was
little to choose between the two teams.
Michigan and Illinois, last years
title winners, opened their seasons to-
day, the former facing Case at Ann
Arbor and the latter meeting Drake
at Urbana.
Iowa, which put Indiana out of the
race last Saturday. was pitted against
Cornell college.
Other games found Notre' Dame
facing Western Normal, and Nebraska
playing the Colorado Aggies.
Miss university resumed athletic re-
lations with st. Louis university in a
game at St. Louis, Kansas takes on
Washburn and Ames plays Grinnell.

TO where 1 had to lay off from work
every few days My appetite was
practically gone and my stomach was
so disordered that I could not find
a thing hardly could digest. To tell
tho truth 1 was nearly afraid to eat
for I would fill up with gas so bad 1
could hardly stand it. There was an
awful pressure against my heart and
at times it nearly cut my breath off.
Headaches why, had a headache
every day that came and black spots
often came before my eyes and 1
would get so dizzy I could hardly see.
Right across the small of my back
there was dull, aching pain and it
was all L could do to get up out of a
chair without having somebody to
help me.
Several of my friends had been
telling me all along that 1 had better
try Tanlac, SO finally I commenced
taking it. Well, sir. it took hold of
my case right now and began to
straighten me out. The gas stopped
forming and my appetite came back
bigger than ever and it wasn't long
until I was eating anything on the
table without it hurting me in any way
whatever.
THE headaches disappeared and SO
did the dizzy spells and that pain left
my back. This was some time ago
but have been feeling fine ever since
and haven't missed a minutes time

Attic heayter''
BY III.


AT the Grhn0s
Two voices and one song stood out Wv
idly in the Sonora Opera company's pre-
sentation of Verdi's Rigoletto last night.
They were the tenor of Giuseppe Dori and
the baritone of Eduardo Lejarazu, the
former as the Duke of Mantua and the lat
ter as Rigoletto the buffoon, about whom
the opera was written. Doris voice had
all that youthful Tilt and gaiety the part
naturally calls for and he put an inter-
probation into la Donna Mobile that
carried the little audience off its feet. Lee
jarazu had what in less high brow" stuff
is called fat" it gave him every oppor-
tunity for display of his histrionic abil-
ity and he let no chance to show his
ability to act get by.
The crowd that greeted the opening per-
Torrance by this company was woefully
light as far as the high priced seats was
concerned, there being but q handful in
the downstairs seats" Indications are,
however, that larger crowds will hear
Lucia" this afternoon and Carmen" this
evening.
The opera was well staged and we'll sung
on the whole, tho the women's voices did
not show up any too well. Consuelo
Medina as Gilda sang a sweet true So
prano, but showed very little volume and
almost no life or any real acting. Possibly
the fact that this piece was written chiefly
for mems voices had something to do with
it. The ensemble numbers were all well
received and deserved the applause given.

The crops ranking highest in value are
wheat. corn, hay, sorghums. oats and
barley.
The states 1920 corn crop-151,-
$4,000 bushels-was the largest since
1912 and ranked first in value. It was
worth $112.2S6. 500 more than the rec
ord Kansas production of 274,000. 900
bushels in 1889. This years oats crop
was largest in yield and first in value.
Only in the value of miscellaneous
farm products-consisting mainly of
animals slaughtered or sold for
slaughter, butter and eggs0and In
livestock, was there a decrease for the
year. The 1920 estimate placed on
miscellaneous products is $3.50. 900. 900,
as compared to $1s0.000.000 in 1919.
Livestock is valued at $300,00O,000. as
compared to $40, 100000 in 1919.
Lower prices for these products is re-
sponsible for decreased valuation, as
the quantities are practically the same.

Is Dicky Suspicious?. ?.

 l He snapped off the light. and took
 his station by the door. which he | opened only crack. and peered out | attentively. l saw that ho had cum ntngly arranged hts position so that only an unusually o5servant passen- ger could know there was any one l watching. and I wondered at his sud- den interest in his fellow pa asscngers. lt was unlike Dicky to give any thought to casual neighbors unless they disturbed him.
 A sudden disturbing thought struck
 me. He was acting fer all the world as If he were watching for some face ho knew. some one bv whom he did not wish to be seen. My imagination described another fantastic arc. Had this scrutiny anything to do with the contents of the telegram?
 Dicky turned abruptly from the door and put an effectual stop to my spcculations with the announcemest:
 Everybody gone who's going to get off, and-here's Grantland, now" us q knock sounded on the door.
 Dicky opened il. and the army officer bowed courteously to me.
 Everything is ready now. Mrs. Graham" he said as unhurriedly as if he were not holding d whole train for my convenience. Are you able to walk"
 "Oh, yes! Thank you" returned, and Dicky interposcd with words that sounded queerly to my sharpened curiosity.
 "Will you go ahead?" he said. Coast is clear this side"

 Very well. I'll jus stand at the aisle here until you turn the corner. then I'll cut in ahead of you"
 blessed his thoughtfulness as saw that hts tall, massive figure standing between our door and the aisle cffcctually shut out any curious inspection of my faltering journey out of the door with Dickys arms aroused me. I found that I was al- most too weak to stand. but managed to get around the ccrner into the 1 corridor. where I found myself sink | ing into Dicky's arms, thoroughly | spent.
