so FAR AS can be determined,
no effort is being made to maintain
a permanent record OF interschclas-
tic league events of the Valley.
Such a record should be kept for
reference purposes. It would entail
a certain amount Of work, but
should be worth 1t. No correct rec
ords have been kept Of the annual
football classics. OF the basketball
championships. OF the baseball title
winners or OF the championship

Westerns and Jackals meeting on
the Fort Brown court al 2:30 p. m
AL indications point toward a heat
ed contest with a large crowd on
hand for the battle. Interest in the
championship is keyed to a high
pitch and both clubs have strong
.lollowings. The Westerns have gone
through the season undefeated,
while the Jackals tel from grace
but once and then to the Westerns

the Jackals have strengthened their

TWISTED STATEMENT
Methodist Leader Says He Did
Not Attack All Of Ameri-
can Legion

Alton, ILL.,, oct. 1.-(R)-Dr. Clarence
True Wilson, Methodist dry leader
said in an address here last night
that the attempt of certain newspa-
per writer's to make it appear I have
attacked all the American Legion, or
soldiers, is Of a piece with the tactics
Of wet newspapers"
Every day statement" he said, "is
warped into something that Is ridicu-
lous or. preposterous
Speaking before the Southern 1lli-
nois Episcopal conference, DR.. Wilson
said "some OF them (the soldiers)
dropped their Americanism, their
Christian standards of decency,
dropped into the French customs and
came back to impose them upon the
United States.
"They are not a majority OF the
American Legion. They are only a
small fraction and their lewdness and
drunkenness at their convention dis
graced their fellow members and all
ex-soldiers. 49,.
THAT is what I said and nothing
but this. The attempt of certain
newspaper writer's to make 1t appear
I have attacked all the American Le-
gion, or soldiers, is Of piece with

to agriculture through harm done the

A statement by Louis j. Taber, ma

The investigation. which Secretary
Hyde said had no connection with the

Some Foreign Bonds
Are Redeemed at Par

New York, Oct. l.-(R-Holders OF
foreign bonds that would bring only
81, ,760, 900 in the open market can re-
deem them today for total Of
$3,550,000
These bonds have been drawn by
lot for redemption at par under sink
ing fund provisions. Some fortunate
holders Of drawn numbers can re-
deem their bonds for cash amounting
to two, three, four and even five times
what they could get for them in the
open market.
Bankers for the Republic of Brazil
are redeeming $413,500 Of that coun-
try's bonds at par. while recent mar
ket prices have been around one-fifth
Of that.
In the more pallny days Of finance,
some spectators, particularly in Lon
don, made practice Of buying q few
depressed bonds just before drawings
in the hope Of holding few lucky
numbers. The chance Of drawing q
number is a long one, for semi-annual
drawings usually amount to only one
or one-half Of one per cent Of the
issue.
