1 will be greatly disappointed if my
club fails to win the National League
pennant. With the best infield in
either league, an outfield that will be
by the addition of O'Cou-
nell, good catching, and pitching that
will measure up TO the standard. l
see no reason why my club should not
repeat. The one thing that must be
guarded against is over-confidence, as
a result of previous successes. Hold.
ing the opposition too weakly is a
grave fault that often proves costly to
pennant hopes.

discouraged from any lawful recrea-
tion-such. as dancing, either men. or

ELK's HOME AT WASEcA
PROPOSAL Made at Meeting of Con-
tinoent In That City ~,

Waseca, February ia site for
the proposed Elks club house on the
shores of Clear Lake was the pr1nci-
pie topic under discussion at the
Elks smoker in the Odd Fellows
hall. l. Jenson of the club house
committee told of the sites under
consideration on what was formerly
the Charles Clement farm, east OF
the golf grounds. An acre tract a
few hundred feet back from the road
at this point appeals quite favorably
to the committee provided they can
secure a deed to it. Parties in Min
neapolis having an option on this
land have offered the tract to the
club free, providing the ground sur
rounding it can be named Elk's
Park.
Charles Ward proposed a tract at
Clear Lake Heights, a short distances
north of DR.. Lynn's cottage. 1t Is
claimed for this site that it is on the
electric line, is within walking ds-
lance Of the city and is near the
golf links and Lakeside club. There
was a. general discussion of the
question but no definite action was
taken. The committee has full au-
thority to act, and the ten members
present from Owatonna, and the
Waseca members gave assurance
that they were back Of the project
and ready to put it across as sooD
as a suitable site was secured.

AMERICAN MINERS BEST
One Coal Digger In This Country
Equals Three In Britain
IAssociated Press Dispatch1


Washington, February 12.-One
coal miner in this country produces
as much in a day as three miners in
Great Britain's coal industry, ac-
cording to statistics compiled by w.
w. Adams, of the United States
Bureau of Mines.
One American miners speed in
production, however, is shown by
the report to be Offset by the loss
OF almost twice as many lives and
by three times the number Of acci-
dents suffered by British miners.
English employees about million
men each year in coal production,
about one third more than the
number employed in this country,
while the English output, Mr..
Adams shows, Is only about 300,-
000, 900 tons less than half the pro-
duction in the United States, The
British accident rate in coal mining
varies from LOO to 1.30 for every
1000 men employed while in this
country the rate ranges from $50
to 4 4.60. Fatalities in Great Britain
in the industry number from 1,100
to 1000 a year, as compared to g.
900 a year as compared to 1000 to

MARION HALE

The synthetic face"-look out for
it!
1t will warn the revenue officers
that you patronize bootlegger-or
operate your own still. q
It's a result of prohibition.
Indulgence in what passes today
for potable liquor is running peoples
looks.
This is the story that a Chicago
plastic surgeon tells.
"Hooch" Is wearing away its de-
votees' facial tissues, drying their
skins, relaxing their muscles, slow
ly and surely ringing beauty's death
knell-so he says.
Fanny Hurst's View
The synthetic face" is the badge
Of the poor sportsman, according TO
Fanny Hurst, the novelist and short
story writer.
"To me-" she says, there's some
thing very undignified and disillu-
sioning about a nation that whines
as we do over frustrated appetite,
and resorts to the measures that we
resort to, to appease our thirst.
Perhaps prohibition does ruin
peoples faces. Certainly it has ruin
ed their conversation.
Il went to a dinner recently,
knowing beforehand that many of
the fntelligensia' or the 'sophisti-
Gates would be present. l looked for
some stimulating discourse from this
gathering of wits.
What happened!

When and where to get the next
supply was the sole topic of discus

Personally l think prohibition the
greatest sociological event OF any
time. .-
81 believe good is bound to come
from it.
81 have tried to get the antis'
point of view. But they seem to have
no arguments. They merely rail
against the constitution, and what
they call violation Of the principles
of freedom for which this country is
supposed to stand.
Limit on Wives
Let these same people submit to
restrictions on the sale of drugs.
Men are satisfied to be limited to
one wife at time Yet l can imag-
inc that the appetite for wives
might be as great as the appetite for
liquor.
F I'VE don't care particularly about
whisky and we don't want the sa-
loon. Give US light wines and beer
and Wen be satisfied. That's what
they moan. How's that for logic!
They denounce prohibition, but
they're perfectly satisfied to accept
SO per cent OF it.
II think it most unfortunate that
the intellectuals have set themselves
against prohibition, When q coup-
try's gray matter is against pro-
position, the chances are that the
