creased as never before, since the con-
clusion of the world war. The slump
taken by the game during the years
the men were in the service has gone
bv the boards. Thousands pack sta
diums and bleachers over the United
states every Saturday afternoon of the
football season.
The column believes baseball has
lost its title The National Pastime.'
If it hasn't lost yet, the time is COM
ing. and soon, when football interest
will far surpass the enthusiasm for
the professional game of baseball.
And the interest in football isn't
thru growing yet.
So, what can President Lowell do?
A recent rumor to the effect that
Coach Charley Bachman of Kansas
Aggies had received an offer to take
over the head coaching job at North
western university, was denied by
Bachman today.
During the Christmas holidays

Northwestern with an indefinite prop
osttion of that sort" said Bachman,
but I have received no definite offer
to date"
Bachman was head coach at North

college in 1920.

treme eastern counties are more for
tunate as nearly all wheat fields show
green there.
Some damage was done this week
by high winds in the north-central
and northwestern counties. So far
there has not been much complaint
of damage from alternate freezing and
thawing, tho two such widely sepa-
rated counties as Brown and Greeley
report trouble from this source.
Wheat is not furnishing much pas
ture anywhere, especially the western
half of the state, but all sections re
port plenty of feed for livestock
which is going thru the winter in ex-

IS The CANDIDATE
OF THOSE LOOKING
FOR THE BEST MAN
Dale Cooper Has No Other
Political Affiliations and
Would Be Administrator
On His Merits

Among those who spoke at
the meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce, perhaps there
was none who made a more
favorable impression than Dale
G. Cooper, candidate for the of
flee of Public Administrator.
The good opinion which Mr..
Cooper gained was based upon
the fact that he made claim to
nothing except what he could
fairly be said to have earned.
Mr.. Cooper says in effect
that the people ought to choose
the very best material available
for each and every. one of the
county offices. The county gov
ernmenfis great business and
the departments ought to be
manned with the most capable
people that can be found. In
respect to the office of Public
Administrator, if it can be
shown that he has a record for
efficiency and ability superior
to that of any of the others who
are in the running, then, by the
logic which applies to ALL of
the offices, Mr.. Cooper says
that the people ought to vote
for him. Otherwise, for the man
who is most capable.
The office of Public Admins
traitor is a detail job. 1t consists
in accounting for all oflthe pro-
perty and all of the business of
those who have passed on to
another world and accordingly
cannot make any suggestions
or furnish any information re-
garding the business which
they have left unfinished.
The office of Public Admin
istrator is a great trust. In a
way, it may be said to be
sacred trust. 1t is the business
of the dead held in trust for
those who may have no know
ledge Of their rights.
Mr.. Cooper says truthfully
that he is the candidate of no
lodge, sect, person or corpora
ton. He is the candidate of
those who consider him the best
qualified man for the job. If
they happen not to be in the
maj jority. then he is Through"
from necessity, and would pre-
fer to be so.
Dale Cooper's training has
been such as to qualify him for
the office of public administra'
tor. His business is building
and loan, insurance and real
estate. Also, he. has been a
successful merchant.
He is not merely a book
keeper; he is an expert account
ant. Besides his duties in a
private capacity, Mr.. Cooper is
the ''interlocking" member of
the high school and grammar
school boards of the Holtville
district. He is the clerk of both
boards. While he has been in
this capacity only few
months he is already we'll along
with plans to put the school
business of the Holtville section
on a business basis. He is not
depending on the superintend-
ent of schools or the county
treasurer, but has installed a
system which will show his
trustees where they are and
what they are doing, some
thing which at least is not the
invariable experience of school
boards. Those who have had ac-
cess to Mr.. Cooper's plans
have made the prediction that
the day will come when the
system which he has installed
at Holtville will be in use in
every school district in I'M
perial county.
And so with the office of
Public Administrator.
Dale Cooper will apply mod
ern methods to public business.
Dale Cooper will carry gen
ius for thrift and economy in
to public trust.
Dale Cooper will do this be-

Once more the little fairy went to
call on the little masked shrew to ask
him about himself.
Last time saw you" said the
fairy, "you told me yeu could hear SO
wonderfully and you had very keen
sense of touch, but that you could
not see.
''You also told me how you had to
eat as many ounces or as much as
your own weight is and that you had
to do this every twenty-four hours.
"Then too, you told me that your
whiskers helped you. They could feel
either side when you were running
through tunnels. And you told me of
escapes you had had from bigger crea-
lures than you were. Won't you
tell me some more? For l think you're
such wonderful little creature"

Westminster abbey, London, is going

Prominent experts in old wood carv-

which can be run over the wood of
the old choir stalls and on the alabas-

dirt, without harming the beautiful
work, bringing to light the wonderful
color effects of the old paints beneath
the dirt layers.
A preparation Of lime, which will
give the historic abbey the effect Of
having been whitewashed when first
applied, will be painted on the outside

gray stone back to its original colors.

"The snake was water snake and
he was having fine time feeding on
fishes. Now If he thought he could

snake never fed on me. No, Fairy, that
snake never fed on me. He may have

snake person but wouldn't allow that
