CAVALRY
Wins 9 TO 7
Defeat Wichita Falls
In Semi-F Final Of
Handicap

Continuing their drive for N clean
sweep OF polo titles In the annual
E5id-Winter tournament being con-
Quoted at Fort Brown, the Fifth
Cavalry horsemen led by Capt. Ho-
ger defeated the Wichita Falls Civil
iaas nine goals to seven Thursday
afternoon.
The contest was hard ridden, due
in par. to the rivalry generated be-
tween the two squads through the
close defeat Of Wichita Falls in the
pen event by the Fort Clark horse
men.
The two teams were about equally
well mounted and Fort Clark's adj
vantage seemed to lie chiefly in
close team play in lining up behind
the ball as they carried il down the
field.
Capt. Hoger OF Fort Clark played
a dashing game throughout the eight
chukkers and was high point scorer,
driving four smashes between the
goal posts. His team-mate, Maj.
Robertson, was second high mar
with three points, in addition TO lin
ing I'D we'll in team play. AZ Meek
el, AZ No. 2 for Wichita Falls, was
tied with Major Robenson in second
place with three goals. 1t. Drake
and Featherstone got two goals
each. Coroner and Dickey OF Wich-
tia Falls obtained n each.
Wichita Falls got off to . poor
start scoring only three times in the
first half. Fort Clark forged stead
ily ahead, keeping the ball In their
territory most of the time and had
rank up seven goals mt the halfway
mark.
The Civilians came back strong in
the second half, playing an excel
lent defensive game. They held
the cavalrymen to two goals in the
last four chukkers. The north
Texans best cEukker was the sixth
when Featherstone, Dickey and Cor
der fought their way TO three goals
in rapid succession.
The prettiest play OF the game was
made by Capt. Hogan in the second
chukker when he took the ball from
mid-field through his goal posts
while the entire field stretched out
behind him.

Nickel 49, No. Drake w

Corder took a spill in midfield In
the third chukker but neither he nor
his mount were injured.
The final game of the handicap
event will be played Sunday after
noon at 3 o'clock on the Fort
Brown parade grounds between the
Fifth Cavalry of Fort Clark and the
18th Cavalry or Fort Brown.
Tuesday afternoon a round-robin
will be played between the two
American army cams and the l7th
cavalry Of the Mexican army.
The horse show will get under
way Saturday morning.

OWE NEAL DOW DEBT OF
GRATITUDE

DR.. J. NJ Doran, Federal Prohibition
Commissioner.
The goth of March, 1929, marks the
125th anniversary of the birth of General
Neal Dow, nationally and internationally
known and reyered as the Pioneer Pro-
hibitionist." 1t is, therefore, privilege
to pay tribute to the memory of the
progenitor of the cause which today SO
vitality affects our entire nation.
The history of national prohibition is
easily traceable back to this fearless pio-
neer whose answering adherence to a
right principle resulted in the first big
stride towards a national temperance
movement.
Observance of the effect of liquor on
the Worknen in his fathers tannery, of
the number of inmates of almshouses due
to liquor and the lack of benefit derived
from state and city licensed liquor traffic
gave Neal Dow the practical idea of pro-
noting total prohibition. In 1889 he adj
vocated the principle of prohibition be-
fore a board of Aldermen and twelve
years later in the state of Maine was
passed the first prohibitory liquor 'aW in
the United States This was the embryo
of national prohibition.
The temperance movement has been
and still is one of steady progress. A few
facts will show some of the far-reaching
results of Neal BOWS vision:
The Eighteenth Amendment was
ratified by As of the 48 states, the
largest number of states ratifying any
amendment.
The licensed saloon has been abol-
iShed from our land.
Twenty-Five states do not permit
the sale of even medicinal whisky.
Instead of an average annual con-
sumption during the ten years pre-
ceding prohibition of 130,000,0OO gal
ks%--

THE VISION OF A SEER

Mrs Ella A. Boole, President, National
w. C.. T. u:
Neal Dow, whose 125th birthday we will
celebrate on March TO- 1929 led the cam
paign in Maine which resulted in the
adoption of prohibition by act of the
Legislature and which finally was estab-
liShed through the adoption OF an amend
ment to the Constitution.
With the vision of a seer he saw that
the way to protect the home from strong
drink was TO prohibit its manufacture and
SALE He recognized that education must
precede legislation and must continue
after legislation has been adopted He
believed that this education should be
promoted through literature, through
public speech and through personal ex-
ample
He was not afraid to be a pioneer be-
cause he had a great conviction which
controlled his actions. The beginning OF
a great movement is the hardest and this
brave pioneer pointed the way.
For many years the Womans Christian
Temperance Union has observed the
birthday of Neal Dow as an occasion on
which to call to the attention of the pub
lie his contribution to the prohibition
movement and the fact that prohibition
is the best method of solving the drink
problem The object has been to inspire
the public to create support and defense
of the Constitution.
We are glad to join with the Anti-Sa-
loon League and other temperance or
CARNATIONS in the observance of the
birthday of this brave pioneer.

ONTARIO'S LIQUOR BILL

The Liquor Control Board Of the
Province of Ontario, according to To-
ronto dispatch of February A. reported
that booze sales during the past year to-
tai $49,OOO,O00 with net profits on sales of
$7,019,944. The total sales representing
a liquor bill CT $18 per person in the
Province during the year, taking no ac-
count of the sales made to tourists.
This $49OOO,O00 came from the peoples
pockets The Province figures a profit of
over $7000,0O0 Tt would be interesting
to know how many millions of profit went
to the manufacturer or seller who fur
nished the liquor to the Liquor Control
Board to be retailed to the people.
