Parasites.

What g pity that new sciences and
discoveries always attract swarm Of
parasitic takers! They are like the
gambling cars, hooked onto many old
time circuses so that al the end Of the
season the performers wages were back
in the box office wagon.
That part Of spirituahstic and psy.
chic phenomena that eventually will
have great scientific value has been
set back many years by the grating
quacks who discredit whatever they
touch.
The only useful quacks in history
were the patent medicine takers. They

WOMEN'S FANCY Is
HURTING THE TRADE

WASHINGTON. - China's export
pigtail industry is threatened by
the preference Of American women
for double hair nets, according TO a
report 10 the commerce department
from Consul Gauss at Tsinan.
Manufacture of double hair nets,
the report said, threatens to reduce
the human hair net business very
much as the double net long out.
wears the single net and advices in
China indicate that an association
OF hair net importers has been
formed in the United States, one OF
its objects being to discourage the
making of double nets. 1t is esti.
mated, the report added, that unless
the double net is driven off the
market the hair net business in
China will decline by Is or 50

LAW ENFORCEMENT.

AT the head of the editorial col
umn, just above the editorial you
notice The Ardmoreite's platform
for the city and county. The first
and foremost policy advocated by
this paper, you will further notice.
is strict law enforcement.
The Ardmoreite places law en-
forcement first because we oelieve
that upon this depends the whole
framework of our community ex-
;stence. Without it little good OF
a permanent worth can be accom-
plished.
There are many Of US who believe
in law enforcement-for the other
fellow-who are willing to see JUS
tice done so long as it doesn't al
feet us-but that isn't what law
enforcement means. Literally, law
enforcement signifies blanket and
universal upholding OF all reguia-
tions and restrictions as well as a
wholesome respect for them by all
citizens.
It's a poor rule that won't WORK
both ways, an old axiom declares
and likewise it's poor law that
does not affect all alike.
As The sArdmoreite sees it, It IS
not lack of energy or willingness on
the part Of officers, nor deho-
crate lawlessness on the part oi
citizens that is our most serious
menace at this time, but an intol'
erance from many sources OF laws
which happen to offend some per
sonal likes and dislikes. To put i
more tersely, the thing that is tear
ing down our civic system OF law
enforcement is a disregard Tor those
laws which we don't want TO obey

Death.

That is the confession Of DR.. Royal

His admission sums up nearly every
thing in life. AL OF US have wisdom,
but we ignore it, as when we spend
more than we know we can afford, or
eat more than we know is good for US.
We seek mythical panaceas, knowing
in our hearts that we already have
them in simple, old-fashioned horse

Company X of this community
have signed through their represen-
tatives, contract for series of five
dances to be held in the Stevens

five dollars for the set of dances. 1t

for the year so that good music
would be guaranteed and dates
known in advance so that confusion
ande trouble would be eliminated.
This was all threshed out in a meet

Columbus Day October 18th

On next Thursday, there shall have
passed 40 years since Columbus
missed a watery grave by the dis
covery of what he thought was an old
continent. History has been made
rapidly since that time, tremendous
advances have been recorded and the
whole world revolutionized both geo.
graphically and politically. 1t is on
ly natural that each year people
should pay homage to Columbus who
made this possible, who persisted in
his idea that the world was round
and had the courage to face unknown
terrors and mutiny to reach his goal.
On another page of the Tribune is
number of 'caricatures of the Incl
dents in the life of Columbus, which
while used in commercial way, yet
are full of interest and give a fair
picture of his life.

FIRST GAME ENDS
In MORRIS DEFEAT
Bensop Scores Touchdown In Each
Quarter Saturday For $50
Victory over High School

Costly fumbling by the Morris lads
in the football game at Benson. Sat
urday, took away chance to score in
the early stages of the game and
shook their confidence so that Benson
scored in the first quarter and in
every quarter thereafter One point
was added under the new rules for
adding a point after a touchdown by
Benson, which brought the total up
to 25. Morris did not score once.
Captain Johnson of Morris won the
toss and chose to receive. Johnson
plunged through for eight yards and
Musselman added three more for first
down. Morris then fumbled and
Benson recovered and completed sew
eral passes mixed with a fake line
buck for a. touchdown. This fake
plunge apparently had the local boys
befuddled and Benson gained easily
on this play. . Inexperience stood out
strongly as the deciding factor in the
defeat of the Morris boys. z..ss q
Quite number of fans and high
school pupils and teachers. drove
down to the game, taking advantage
of the splendid weather for fine
trip and to give the boys encourage
ment.
This Saturday, Morris will play the
team from Renville at RenvilIe
in a game which promises to
be an interesting contest.
