LINDSBORG, Kan, Dec. l2, = Bethany College is not lovers para disc. nor is it matrimonial bureau, and gay young Lotharios will have to hie themselves to some region other than around classrooms and dormi- tories to pour forth their sentiments to beautiful co-eds.

CAMPBELL WAS FREED
 BY VICIOUS BEAR

TACOMA, Dec. 12.-The old joke about being treed by a bear some times is true, as Bert Campbell, Sumner. Wash, can testify. Camp bell and Lewis Williams, also of Sumner, were hunting deer and birds on the Mowich river when Camp bell, alone at the time, came face to face with bear.
 The bear was peevish, and as 1t was growing dark and Campbell's gun loaded only with birdshot, he climbed tree and began to shout for help.
 : When Williams arrived the bear was stationed under the tree, his eyes glued on Campbell Williams killed the animal, which weighed 400 pounds.

NO DRY FIGHT ON INDUSTRIAL
 ALCOHOL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The in dustrial alcohol trade, with its op- portunities multiplying through new chemical and scientific discoveries, is destined to become one of the greatest of American industries, ac- cording to Wayne B. Wheeler, gen. eral counsel of the Anti-Saloon League.
 More alcohol for industry and less in the individual spells safety, prosperity and law enforcement that's the way MT. Wheeler looks at it.
 Encourage industry
 "The attitude of the friends of the Eighteenth Amendment Is not an tagonistic, but friendly to the larg- est development of this great indus try" he declared. "The National Prohibition act specifically recog- nizes and encourages the industrial alcohol trade. National prohibition is aimed at the beverage traffic. Legitimate industrial alcohol trade does not cater to the beverage traf- fic. The success of this industry depends upon its being confined to the scope of it's legitimate purpose" "
 Some prohibitionists, according to Wheeler. need to know more about the value of the industry, while some representatives of the trade need to consider more carefully the conditions which are essential to an honest enforcement of the Volstead act"
 Affects Three Glasses
 Prohibition affects three classes of industrial alcohol dealers" he said. The first class handles de- natured alcohol and should have the largest freedom possible in the manufacture and sale of their pro- duct The second class handles spe- cially denatured alcohols. None of these are intended for beverage use, but some are capable of beverage use, and strong regulations are ne- cessary to prevent illegal diversion. The third class represents those who are willing to violate the law, use fake permits, product fake medicines and divert the liquor from it's legi- innate course. Against such there must be an unceasing warfare both by the trade and by public officials.
 "The future of the industry lies in the hands of the men who are investing their money and brain power in it. If they will cooperate in. keeping their products within the law there is no industry that has a brighter future
 "The industry came to the nations defense in the last war by convert ing industrial alcohol plants and chemical industrial factories into agencies for the supply of poison gas, power, high explosives and other products essential to the sue cessful prosecution of the war.
 with reasonable encouragement this industry can be the greatest of it's kind in the world. Industrial al cohol will be an increasing source of fuel supply. Alcohol for motor fuel is possibility. The products manu- factured from it, such as ethyl al cohol, are making manufactured silk and leather a success"

NO GREAT BACK FIELD STARS
 THIS YEAR

NEW YORK, Dec 12.-For some reason, not altogether clear, the 1922
 football season produced no great, outstanding figure in the field of back field men, as has been the case with every other year within memory Good enough as class, there were, never theless, no Killingers, no Coys, Brick leys, Mahans, Gipps, Thorpes and play CTS of this pronounced type among the lot.
 Az a matter of fact, the season was a famine so far as the development of truly great players in any position was concerned. The average was req ! sonably high, but individual perfor- mances of lasting memory were so few as to be almost negligible. Two Mentioned
 Perhaps Kipke, of Michigan, and Castner, of Notre Dame, represented the nearest approach to backfield greatness, but neither had quite the finesse and punch that Killinger was able to muster as late as 12 months ago, while most certainly they hardly figure in the same class with immort- als of the type of Jim Thorpe, Ned Mahan and the late George Gipp. Of course, Cornell men will wish to take issue with this writer with out further ado, assuring him that the psychopathic ward is very restful for those who do not believe Eddie Kaw is the greatest thing that ever hap pened. In our humble opinion Eddie is nothing of the kind.
 A big, fast man, true enough, with splendid straight arm and remark able facility for changing direction at top speed. Yet Raw is not flaw less by any means. He can be and has been stopped by good ends, for he is only effective when he is able to get loose beyond the line of scrim- mage.
 Lost Opportunity
 Many of the leading backs played on minor teams and hence never came into the prominence their work de- served. There were, for example, Beck. of Vermont; Simendinger, of Holy Cross, and Koppisch, of Column bia. They would have been headline fodder had they elected to attend one of the colleges in the Big Three. Other backs of more or less prom thence were Covington and Roberts, of Centre College; Cleaves and Cor i man, of Princeton; Cullen and Bar chet of the Navy; Pfann, of Cornell;
 Brunner, of La Fayette; Wilson, of
 Penn. State; Lee Parkin, of Iowa; Williams, of Wisconsin; John Thomas, the Chicago line cracker; Erickson, of w. and J.; Smyth and Wood, of the Army; Miller, of Pennsylvania, and Hewitt, of Pitt.
 On past performances, Owen ana Buell. of Harvard, might have quali- fled for the elect, but they ~staked themselves to an indifferent season and were seldom consistent

| PARDON sought
FOR SLAYER
IF BEARDSLEY

On Wednesday, April 5, Governor
John j. Blaine heard the plea for pa
role of Mortimer Wilson, former Wis
consin Rapids man, who is serving
a sentence of life Imprisonment at
the State Penitentiary at Waupun
for the killing of Grant S. Beardsley
here in 1912. County Judge W. J.
Conway appeared before the Govern
or in behalf Of the young man to pc
tition for a reduction of sentence from
life Imprisonment sufficient to make
him eligible for parole now or in the
near future.
Wilson has already served nine and
one-half years He started serving
sentence after conviction here on Oc-
tober 3, 1912. Since being committed
he has acquitted himself we'll, has
taken advantage of every opportun-
ity to learn useful occupations and
has carried on an extension course
of study from the University of Wis
consin, to better equip himself in the
event Of a pardon or parole. He was
highly recommended by the warden
at Waupun for his conduct during the
time served and is regarded as a safe
member of society and one equipped
to be returned to normal living after
his long sentence.
1t is understood that objections to
the parole of Wilson were removed by
the Beardsley family and friends who
have given their consent to all work
done in Wilson's behalf. Many local
people have taken up his cause and
have worked to secure the reduction
of his sentence. 1t is also under
stood that if the reduction of SEN
tence is granted by the Governor, and
a parole is recommended, the young
man will be given employment III an
other locality, where he will have an
opportunity to live useful life
His mother is now living in Eau
| Claire. A brother of Wilson was
killed in an automobile accident about
two weeks ago, and he was allowed
by prison officials to attend the fu-
neral
An early decision on the hearing
is expected from the Governor.

FINAL GOVERNMENT
TESTS TO DETERMINE

Washington, D. -C.-The final Sc
ries of tests on one of the largest
and most comprehensive road expert
ments ever attempted began March
9th. This experiment is being con-
Quoted on two miles of highway at
Bates, I'll. This stretch was designed
and constructed by the Illinois High
way Commissioner and the United
States Bureau Of Public Roads. It
includes sixty-three different sections
representing as many different meth
DDS and kinds of construction and
having various kinds and thicknesse5
of highway building material. This
road was completed April, 1921, and
highway engineers have been making
observations ever since for the effect
of temperature changes, etc. The
road viii now be subjected to the
final test, that of heavy truck traffic,
for the application of which a fleet
Of ten motor trucks Of the War De
partment will be used. The results
are expected to show definitely the
types of pavements thai can be ex-
oected to support heavy traffic. All

Someone may say, "Ail very fine,
but why all the selfish service ?" We
reply that it IS just as great an OBJ
legation to furnish service that Of ne
cessity must be prompted by self-in-
terest as to furnish service of dis
interested and unselfsh nature.
The Need of Today
The crying need of the motorist Of
America today is coordination of pur-
pose and efforts, the consolidation
of all these interests into one gigantic
and powerful service organization.
The American Automobile Asset
alton is unreservedly non-political.
However, many of the questions with
which it must deal require that from
time to time it consult with public
officials.
Our own membership is kept in
formed as to questions affecting mo-
florists, questions which of necessity
call for action by Congress or State
legislatures or city councils.
But the A. A. A. feels that it would
be reereant if it did not also see that
the members of Congress and the
state legislatures as we'll as other
public bodies, were also kept in
formed as to the bearing these same
questions have with reference to the
individual motorist
The divisional and district Offices of
the A. A. A. would have many duties.
These duties range all the way from
looking after conditions in the home
town of the motorist up to the big
constructive problems confronting
Congress and the Nation. And it may
be added, that the American Auto
mobile Association will always be
found cooperating with Drawn, brain
and heart to further the principles of
the greatest good to the greatest
number" Although it speaks for a
class, and that class the motorist,
nevertheless the public good ever has
been its first and foremost ccnsidera-
ton.

new POWDER
MAKING GOOD

Wilmington, Del, April 5.-Reports
from various parts of the country
show that "Dumorite", the new eX-
plosive recently put on the market,
is effecting reductions in blasting
costs amounting to one-third and
more. Statements from users show
that this is especially true in quarry,
farm blasting and other open work,
because the new dynamite frequently
shoots stick for stick with regular
forty per cent dynamite while at the
same time, each case contains at least
one-third more cartridges.
A quarry company III the Middle
West reports that in their operations
Dumorite is materially reducing costs.
In eastern quarries, equally good re
suits have been obtained.
Experimental work in stump blast
ing had already shown that Dumorito
was an important money-saver for
the farmer. A blaster of WOrsham,
Virginia, is using it and reports:
II want to advise that | find it as
good stick for stick as any forty per
cent dynamite l have ever used and
as it has thirty three percent more
sticks per case than any forty per
cent dynamite I have ever used, it
cuts the cost of blasting stumps just
thirty-three percent. Besides there
was no headache caused from using
it, and this feature alone appeals to
the farmer"
In states where large stumping op-
erations are under way, experience
is also showing that the new eXplos-
i've is great boon to farmers, since
it enables them to make an import
ant slash in blasting costs.
These reports follow out the state
ments made concerning the eXplOs-
i've at the time it was perfected. The
Du Pont Company then announced
that "Dumorite" was manufactured
on double base of modified nitro
glycerin and guncotton, that it could
not freeze and would not produce
headache This last advantage, com
bined with the saving in blasting
costs, is causing it to be regarded as
the most advantageous explosive on
the market at this time.

elect a new Chairman.
The request for the resignation of
Thomas is a result of the manner in
which the affairs of the town are
conducted, and a protest against the
large increase Of taxes in the county.
The people Of Sherry feel, as do a
great many others in Wood County,
that it is high time for the Town and
County Officials to realize that nine
ty percent Of the taxes paid by them
is levied and assessed for local, that
is Town and County purposes, and
that if the taxpayers of this county
are to be allowed to exist the officials
must practice strict economy in the
expenditure of public money"
