Well, the dope pot was upset badly
Friday and Saturday. Somebody gave
that said pot a terrible kick, and
everything went awry in conference

Teams that were doped for igno-

IA good game" That's the way the
fans describe the Topeka high school
Manhattan high school football game
at Manhattan Saturday. The teams
played to a scoreless tie.
Topekas boys showed the spirit in
every minute of play. The local boys
plunged thru the Manhattan line time
and again for good, healthy gains, but
when striving for a touchdown the
Manhattan line held water-tight, and
the Topekans could not go thru,
Manhattan was conceded the breaks.
The recovery of two punts by the Aggie
youngsters gave them 5 yards on each
oc casion.
The game was disastrous to the To-
peka team, from a standpoint of in
juries. Bruce, quarterback, and Jol-
ley, left guard, were both taken from
the game with banged shoulders and
legs.

Mr.. Edison is wonderful gentle

against himself might easily and
swiftly register him among the min

PUTTING MIR. COOLIDGE RIGHT

Our new and startling ambassador
to England, George i. Harvey, who
claims to speak by the card, informed
the more or less credulous English
that every vote in President Harding's
huge majority last November was a
vote against the League of Nations.
In this he disagrees with the vice
president of the United States. A
few days after the presidential cleo
tion Mr.. Coolidge quietly remarked
that men had Supported the republi-
can ticket from great variety OF
motives, and that tho result could in
nowise be taken as mandate"
against the league But, of course,
he was nothing but vice president.
He had been merely a recipient of the
1000, 900 majority. And any one can
see that it would be absurd to set up
his opinion against that of the am
bassador who conceives it to be his
function to enunciate the policy of
our government, and TO tell England
and the world what's what. We hope
that Mr.. Coolidge will take his re-
buke with becoming meekness.

Arc you planning to hunt big
game in the Yukon this season?
If 50, have you engaged your
guides? If you have not, lose no
more time in doing SO. Guides are
none too plentiful in the far north
and both guides and transportation
are being booked by what promises
to be the biggest bunch Of hunters
that have gone to the Yukon. A
report has just come out from one
Of Yukon's best known guides, to
the effect that caribou are more
plentiful than heretofore known
and are ranging in great droves.
The two principal districts are
the Kluane-White River and the
Mcmillan River sections, the start
for either is made from White
Horse. Mcmillan district is reach

may be done at White Horse. Some
hunters bring along their own am
munition and bedding, but this is
unnecessary as Yukon outfttcrs
know to 1T" just what is needed
and are ready to furnish it. Both
districts are governed by the same
laws, and licenses, costing 500, are
obtainable at White Horse.
From fifty to sixty days must be
allowed for the hunting trip. Any
thing under fifty days demands a
pace that precludes choice Of heads.
In addition to caribou, moose, bear
and sheep, goats may be gotten by
making short side trips to the par
ticular haunts they favor. Plenty
of good fishing may be enjoyed on
either trip.
Yukon guides have no superiors,
but like other choice things. their

number is limited. Intending par
ties should contract for services as
early as possible. Hunting in the
Yukon is an expensive sport, but
this makes it all the more attrac-
tive to the sportsmen who can af-
ford it. The limited number Of
hunters who visit this vast, rich
country are sure to get good bags.
Head guides command from sl2 to
s15 per day, while second guides,
cooks, canoe men and helpers get
from 81 to $40 per day. The cost
Of Yukon hunting trip will total
from $500 to $4,000 for a fifty
day trip. This sum is, Of course,
exclusive of cost of transportation
in reaching the Yukon, which in
cludes a three and 'one-half days

dinner was served in the yard, and
was replete with all the good things
of the land. Mr.. Wallace is in fair
ly good health, and greatly appreci-
ated the gathering which was held
to do him honor. 1t also happened
that the occasion was the 18th ami
