the allied forces held back the

this country completely offset the

The imperative necessity of dis
pelling disquieting reports in the
Far East about the reserves was
due to the importance of silver in
the economic life of the Far East.

The size of this overflow of sil
ver from the United States in the
days when it was considered a
necessity to aid in winning the
! war may be judged from the fig
ures of the director of the mint.
In the six years from 1915 to 1920

his worth by a plunge of eight
yards for a touchrown against the
Chemawans. His ability to block
and interfere will be a great help
in the backficld.
Choc Loughrey of Payette, Ida.,
the only midget player on the
line, bids fair to fill the vacancy
left by Captain Chuck Rose. Toots
Garrity and Okey Taggart, how
ever, are giving him strong com
petition. Although Choc is light,
he tackles hard with considerable
speed.
Dick Oarber of Freewater, an
other pramising sophomore, had
his shoulder torn loose in prac
tice last week. After X-rays were
taken, his shoulder was put back
into place. Another X-ray will be
taken during the coming week.
If the wound is not healed, the
shoulder will be wired into place.
Until he was injured, Dick was
one of the most promising back
field players. It is hoped that he
will be able to return to the game
this season;
Luke dill, star kicker on last
year's rook team, and Ped Hage
dorn, who shows excellent ability
in intercepting iorwaro passes,
are also holding their own in the
backfield.
Bert Winnie, who showed well
as a fullback, has been kept from
practice on account of laryngitis.

promises to make the regular

themselves to be able to cope with

Ev Miller. all-California high
school fullback, looks promising
as a backfield man. He is develop

though Coach Rutherford has at
least found a man who can send
the pigskin over a great many
marks. In the game against Che

the ball 65 yards. If he continues

Candidacy Of
B. F. Irvine
The movement, which was start
ed in Portland by the Democratic
Woman's club, popularizing B.
F. Irvine, editor of the Oregon
Journal, as a candidate for gov
ernor of Oregon, is being given a
decided impetus by their method
of procedure in the campaign. Pe
titions simply worded to the ef
fect that the citizens of Oregon
desire B. F. Irvine to allow his
name to be placed on the primary
ballot are being circulated among
the voters of Oregon.
The club feels they have a can
didate with a peculiar distinction
of appealing to all classes and
feelS no hesitancy in presenting
these petitions for the signature
of all voters regardless of party
affiliation.
Many prominent women are as
sisting in securing signers on the
petition in and about Portland.
Petitions are going forward to all
parts of the state to be placed in
the hands of leading democratic
women who will solicit the names
of representative citizens.

more fortunate brethren this
morning for $5.

Whose fault is it when your

If you frit your thumb

wouldn't blame your

Then why blame your
husband whose nerves
may have been pounded
by coffee, and whose rest
probably has been broken
by the irritation of the
caffeine it contains?
If you stay awake half
the night you don't feel
ay too cheerful.
The caffeine of coffee
nd the them of tea are

is persisted in, sooner or
later the nervous system
may give way.

You can avoid this

Postum is the deli

affords the advantages of
a hot drink, without the

Brownsville Bov Killed.
Brownsville, Or., Oct. 5. Little
Glen Walker, 6-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Walker of Browns
ville, was kicked or dragged to
death by a horse Tuesday evening.

the family horse and did not re

forty shillings more, and I have

I had therefore, a total of 176
shillings to spend.

though that waB not to be, I fell
more madly in love with her than

I was rich and offered to give her

London, Oct. 4. "I cried and I
suffered, stifling my sobs in my
pillow, kissing her photograph and j
eating the last flower that she
gave me, breathing a little of the
perfume which remained to me." j
These were the last words of;
Paul Torlot, a 17-year-old Belgian
boy, who hanged himself in a pic
turesque Kentish wood on account
of his hopeless infatuation for an
actress much older than himself.
They were written to his par
ents, an artistic Belgian couple,
resident in Brussels. Paul, a boy
a sensitive and somewhat morbid
disposition, old for his years, was
studying in England for a commer
cial career.
He became acquainted with the
girl, who was acting in a touring
company. Completely obsessed
with her, although' she did every
thing to discourage him, he be
came imbued with the idea of be
coming an actor in order to be
near her. In this he was unsuc
cessful, and the following letter,
written just before his tragic end,
exemplifies his state of mind:
My dear Mamma and my dear
Papa:
This time is the last I write
you, and when you read the lines
that follow your poor Paul will be
dead.
"But before I die I wish to have
a good timp for the last week.
Any one condemned to die has a
right to a last kindness.

Get More Profits by
Clearing More Land!
"alb
Measure the Profit of
Your Stump Land Cleared!
PLAN right now to clear off more land before planting
and after harvest, too. Use the "off-seasons" to provide
for bigger profits on future crops. One crop usually pays the
entire cost of clearing and leaves a profit besides. All following
crops are dear profit.
The great land -clearing movement that swept the country
in 1920 is even stronger in 1921 farmers the country over
are clearing more land this year than ever before.
The modern way is to use dynamite for blasting out
stumps and boulders, for this method is very rapid, reasonable
in cost and leaves the land in good condition for cultivation.
The majority of farmers use
STUMPING POWDERS
Du Pont and Repauno Brands

This instrument is now in our

It is cased in very beautiful

The tone is full and resonant
very much like a Grand, and
