Aswell has expressed his particular

The United States Government
owns approximately ten billions Of
dollars worth of real estate" Con-
gresham Bloom said, but no one
knows definitely how much. The
United States Government, in its
own name. Is the biggest owner Of
real estate in the world, but there
10 no central clearing house where
these records are kept nor is any
attempt made by the Government
TO keep a control record Of this
vast property"
Throughout the world the Gov
eminent owns property easily equal
In value to the assessed valuation
Of property in the City Of New
York, which totals $40, 500, 000, 900.
In New York City alone, the United
States owns about $3.50, 0O0, 900 worth
OF property, according to records In
the New York City tax office. But
these properties are really worth
nearer $500. 900 900.

Stanford Easy Winner
Over Santa Clara Tteam

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Ca1ifi
Nov. G.-R -.stanford's big Cardinal
football machine blazed a destructive
path through the ranks of the Univer-
sity of Santa Clara eleven today to
score a decisive 33 to II victory A
team composed entirely of substitutes
took up the burden for Stanford as the
game opened and for two periods drove
the Broncos up and down the field
with line and aerial attack which
ended with five touchdowns.
In the last two quarters the Santa
Clarans came back strong to drive the
Cardinals back and twice pierced their
defense for touchdowns, but the earlier
offensive had mounted a total for Stan
ford which the determined efforts of
the opposing eleven could not over
come. Only in the last few minutes
did Coach Warner send in one OF his
regulars, and that was Hoffman, full
back His showing, however, was neg
lfgible against the Broncos.

HIS PREFERENCE

Little Ling Kew, small Chinese
boy living in the up to date section
OF Hongkong, had been brought up
in a family familiar with all the
latest scientific devices and the best
Of medical attention
Ling had many, many brothers
and sisters and it was firmly fixed
in his mind that every time his
mother went to the hospital she
returned with either another tiny
brother or tiny sisteG to add to the
already numerous offspring.
Little Ling himself had never been
to the hospital until one day he
fell down stairs and broke his arm.
Then the American doctor ordered
him taken to the hospital to have
it set AS the doctor placed the
little chap in his motor car the lad
asked: Must it be, do the Gods
decree, that I go into the hospital?"
Yes, my son. said the American
doctor, but worry not, as even your
honorable mother can testify that
it is nice place and soon you viii
be all right again.
But DOCTOR" said little Ling Kew
''if I do have to so into the hospital,
do not want baby-I would like
a chow pup instead

ILORDSBURG ELEVEN
WILL PLAY in CITY
ON ARMISTICE DAY

with the southern conference cham
pionship tucked under their belts, the
local high school football team will
take rest this week, while the sec
ond string players aided by some ex-
college and alumni stars will tackle
the fast moving Lordsburg aggrega-
ton on Armistice Day. This game will
be real thriller as both teams Will
have college players both on the line
and in the backfeld Van Antwerp
and Warren, high school coaches, will
direct the team practice this week and
use Harris, Ruterman, Morris, stevens,
Sanders and other players who show
enough football ability to suit the
coaches.
This is not conference game so
Coach Van Antwerp will use Hohstadt
Young, Williams, Cummins, Flores and
other boys who have been in training
this season.
The Lordsburg aggregation averages
about 100 pounds to the man. They
have some college men in the lineup
who are capable of ripping off long
runs and completing reverse passes
against stiff opposition.
The Skousen brothers, famous ath-
letes of Mesa, Arizona, are playing, and
both are dangerous men with the ball
The team will be in good shape to give
the locals hard tussle. The game is
called at 3 p. m. at the city ball park.
