UNCLE SAM ON THE JOB

The first two foreign vessels
to reach New York under the
new liquor orders were the
Baltic and Berengara. Both had
liquor scaled for the homeward
journey. The government of
hcials broke the seals and con-
fscated the liquor except what
was needed for medicinal pur-
poses. The same policy will be
pursued towards all other YES
sells which do not comply with
government regulations. For
eign governments protest, but at
the same time admit the United
States is acting within her rights
in control of the waters within

ENDORSE PROHIBITION

Prohibition recently received
an endorsement from an unex-
pected quarter. The National
Association of Credit Men at its
recent meeting in Atlanta, Ga,
went on record as opposed to
any tendency to abrogate or
weaken respect for the prohibi-
law. These men look at the
question from an economic
standpoint, and they are in
position to know the great
economic benefits which have
come to the people and the
country as the result of prohibi-
ton.

There was one avowed wet in
the Minnesota primaries last
week when candidates for United
States Senator were selected to
succeed the late Senator Nelson.
This wet was L. A. Fritsche who
sought to be. named as the
e farmer-labor candidate. He
wanted it understood that he
was for the return of beer. APP
proxinately $4,000 votes were
cast for the several candidates.
and out of this number Fritsche
received apparently $4,000 votes,

still in the air, and though the refe-
reefs whistle had sounded when the
ball was unquestionably across, the
Hallowell supporters protested that

beautiful goal after the tally In the
first quarter but the kick was
blocked after the second and final

of the Cony score also came in the
fourth period when Viles in three
successive plays had made first down

Active buying by houses with east

was unchanged to zoe lower.
From the outset wheat displayed

vance, however, came after a bullish

Possibility that railroad freight

were given some notice as bullish
factors in wheat. Besides. word that

The change of pace is executed for
the purpose of battling the tackler.
Good tackling Is largely dependent
upon perfect timing. If the man
carrying the ball in the open field
runs hard and straight, only an
equally fleet-footed tackler can easily
bring him down. But IL this same
back changes his pace ever so slight
1y. he Immediately causes the tackler
to hesitate and guess. and in this
way breaks down the defensive play
er's determination. The runner to
begin with has the initiative and he
can keep it only by changing his tao
tics and avoiding mere straight run
ming. The reason why some very
fast, sturdy runners are not great
backs is due to their lack of ability
to fool the would-be tackler by a
change of pace or similar tactics.
