I still recall ulieurling not quite
deathless ode to foot ball coach by
the name of A. A. Stagg Just q years
ago.
The theme of it was-"To the only
man who ever conquered Yost.'
1t followed Chicago's famous 2-to-0
victory over Michigan for the first
Wolverine defeat in five campaigns.
Yost and his Michigan machines had
ruled the Midwest year after year when
such stars as Heston, Snow, Sweeley,
Herrnstein, Hammond and others ran
roughshod over all rivalry.
In 1905 Stagg was veteran coach,
who had served nearly 20 years. The
late Walter Eckersall. one Of foot balls
greatest, was his quarterback. 1t was
in this game that Clark of Michigan
was swept back of his own line for
safety, after attempting to run back a
punt.

FIRM ADDS AIR
SYSTEM SALES

The A. S. johnson Company,
of 1910 Ninth st. N. w., who for
the last half century has served
Washington home owners in their
heating problems and needs, an
nounces entrance into the air
conditioning and air cooling field.
In discussing this enlargement
of policy A. S. johnson, president
of the company made the follow
ing statement:
"In keeping up with the trend
of the times we have decided to
enter into cooling and air-cOn-
ditiOning work.
PRICES VERY LOW
Until recently cooling and
conditioning equipment could
only be purchased from the
manufacturers specializing in
this line of work. Now however.
contractors and engineers may
purchase equipment from such
large manufacturers as the Car
rier Engineering Corporation.
American Blower Company,
Buffalo Forge Company and
numerous other manufacturers
of this specialized equipment.
Thus, the buying power, low
overhead and elimination of the
local contractor enables him to
supply this much demanded ne
ceSSity in its fields at prices
that were formally believed i'm
possible.
"Since this field is of a high
ly specialized nature we are
pleased to announce the addi-
ton to our firm of Mr.. A. E.
Bethel, jr., formerly mechani-
cal engineer with the Carrier
Engineering Corporation, who
will have charge of the design
and installation in this new
field. Bethel is a member of
the American Society of Heat
ing and Ventilating Engineers.
and is the author of numerous
technical articles on this sub
ject."
Will Not Interfere
johnson further states the en-,
largement of policy will in no
way interfere with the firms heat
ing, ventilating and general sheet
metal work but is made in re.
sponse to it's desire to more fully
serve the people of Washington.
1t is generally agreed that this
old established institution with
its staff of capable mechanics
and workmen under the direct
supervision of competent engi
neers, will meet with considerable
success in this new field.

The collision occurred after 18

Head of Du-Rite Firm Sees
Return of Buying Mood

One of the Districts largest in
dustrial organizations, the Du-
Rite Chemical Company, headed
by John H. Lawrence, has re-
ported an extremely level of bust
ness maintained since the first
of the year. Mr.. Lawrence, who
is prominent in business circles
here. stated recently that he be-
lieves the public is getting into a
real buying mood through the
country.
In speaking of conditions he
said:
"My firm and myself are be-
levers in Washington and
WaShingtOn's industrial life.
We believe that local purchas-
ers should show a preference
for local made products and re-
main loyal to this principle, es-
pecially during times like this,
when 1909 cooperation is
needed by everyone in the COM
munity in which they live.
PREFERENCE ASKED
Especially so should this ap-
ply to the various public insti-
tutions in the District who
sometimes do not take into con-
sideratiOn the fact that prod
ucts manufactured right here
should be given the preference,
since these same institutions
are supported morally and fl.
nancially by local enterprises.
Speaking further, Mr.. Lawrence
said:
81 believe that we have done
more to pOpuIarize this city's
products than most any other
company here.
"Our chemicals and chemical
speciaIties are used generally
throughout the entire country.
We have been here over 27 years
and all this time have been do

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Aug. 20
G.N.SD Striking farmers today
had won their first victory fol-
lowing settlement of the milk
price war.
Although the farmers failed to
obtain the price agreement they
first sought, at a conference with
milk distributors the price was
fixed at $18O per hundredweight
as against the 81 paid before the
strike started. The farmers orig
inally demanded $2.17.
The milk price agreement, how
ever, did not disturb the farmers
holiday movement, and picketing
of roads was continued today to
keep livestock and all other farm
produce, except milk, out of the
city.
The milk agreement was chal-
lenged by a bloc of farmers who
said they would continue to bar
milk as we'll as other products
from coming into Sioux City un-

MANY HOMELESS
MEN GET BEDS
HERE NIGHTLY

That FL Centro's Chateau de
Ryan, or hotel for the homeless, is
famous throughout the United
States, from New York to San
Francisco, was the boast of Blackie
Ryan, its proprietor, last night as
he waited for the nightly parade
Of penniless transients seeking q
free bed in the sheet-iron building
behind the police station.
Two factors contribute to the
fame of the FL Centre hostelry.
Ryan declared. One is its clean
illness. and the other is the fact
FL Centro has no chain gang this
year.
Among the brotherhood OF the
road the latter fact is considered
most important, according TO
Ryan, who served last year as well
as this in the capacity of hotel
proprietor for a nightly full houss
in the sheet-iron hall.
For the past three nights Ryan,
placed in charge by Police Chief
Frank p. McCaslin, has turned
away applicants for a bed and
place to sleep because there is no
more room. referring them in
every case to the Salvation Army.
When that institution is filled
to capacity, the sleepers are ad-
vised to seek an empty box car,
where police will not bother them
unless some complaint is received,
or unless they are under suspicion.
