LIFE

is just a priceless, precious piece of personal property Do as you like with it. Spend it all on dance and debts or in a sacred manner, but keep spending. Each day may be the last. way again. Don’t miss anything. My greatest concern in life is an inquisitive one. Where did we come from, what are we here for, and where the heaven or hell are we going? Give me my flowers now. Don’t let my first automobile .ride be one in a hearse. Give me an Oldsmobile to look this universe over with and at leabt I’ll feel satisfied with things as they are and not join the strikers. There’s real satisfaction among Oldsmobile owners. The Sox were ibig legal tender yesterday.—Hugh Kirk.

WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF

Washington, D. C., Oct. 7. With the government facing a deficit this fiscal year estimated at from $2,000,000,000 to $3,5Q0,000,000, republican leaders in congress have abandoned their program for the reduction of taxation and are casting about for means of meeting prospective expenditures of more than $10,000,000,000, the estimated revenue /being little more than $7,000,000,000. Repeal of the soda fountain, movie and other luxury taxes has been halted. —o— Industrial conference adopts set rules designed to hoad off—exr tremists of the “left wing” in all groups —from wasting time with projects unlikely to make headway. Its purpose is to keep sessions from being flooded with panaceas and from “developing into a debating society,” with enough material to keep it talking until the Fourth of July. John Spargo, exs-ocialist, protests it prevents “individual constructive thinking.” Secretary Franklin K, Lane is made permanent chairman.

Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, stirred up a hornet’s nest in the senate when he sought tq link treaty opponents with bolshevists, and he was, in turn, stung by a counter charge of pro-Germanism in the early days of the war by Senator Poindexter, of Washington. Senator McCormick, of Illinois, submitted to the senate protests from Chicago ministers against the league of nations propaganda. —o — Gen. Sibert, chief of the chemical welfare service of the army, urged the house military committee to make provision in army reorganization for retention of the gas service, maintaining that it is of the utmost importance as a permanent department. He attacked the war department bill as putting too much power in the general staff and his criticism drew from Representative McKenzie, of Illinois, the assertion that “the day is not far off when we are going to hold funeral services over the general staff till.”

BATTERED SLAB ACE ON MOUND

CICOTTE TAKES HILL AGAINST SALLEE IN SEVENTH CLASH. - , Redland Field, 2 p. m.—Eddie Cicotte, pattered slab ace of the Comiskeys, ascended the stab today for Chicago in the seventh tilt of the world’s championship series. Although his star has twice been defeated, Gleason felt that he was the one man to carry the burden in such a crucial contest. A win for Chicago today means a chance for them to even the series at Chicago Wednesday. ' Sallee, winner of the second game for the Reds, waS the choice of Manager Moran. A little anxiety is felt by the Red followers as to the ability of Sallee to come through, as he was hit hard in the game which he won. Fair but cooler weather greeted the fans.

He went to the capital city to receive instructions and he may be retained in the regfilar army, he having taken an examination for that purpose.

SOX REMAIN IN FIGHT BY BRILLIANT FINISH.

With the score 4 to 0 against them and elimination as world’s championship contenders staring them in the face the Chicago., White Sox rallied Tuesday, tied the count and emerged the victors in a brilliant tenth inning finish, when Weaver doubled to center, was sent to third on Jackson’s bunt and scored when Gandil singled. Dick Kerr went the route for the Chicagoans, but was lucky ’to escape, as the Red batsmen hit him hard. Dutch Ruether was knocked from the mound in the sixth inning when the Sox counted three. Ring relieved him and went well until the tenth. The victory gives the Gleasons an outiiTde"cliance of coming through, but their chances arq. slim, as they must win three more games in succession. The probable batteries for the seventh game, which is being played in Cincinnati today, are Cicotte and Schalk for Chicago and Sallee and Rariden for Cincinnati.

John G. Culp went to Ottawa, 111., today on business. John Mecklenberg, who had visited with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mecklenberg, of Milroy avenue, returned today to his home in Chicago.

GOODLAND PEOPLE SKEPTICAL REGARDING RECENT ACCIDENT.

•People of the vicinity of Goodland are somewhat interested in the ftfrther developments of the automobile accident which occurred near there about 5 o’clock Friday morning and in which a young man, one of the occupants, was killed. The actions of the other young men in the party after the body of the dead man had been taken to Goodland to be prepared for burial, were 7 somewhat suspicions and have led the people of Goodland to believe that their motives were not the best . 1 As soon as the body of the dead man had been taken to Goodland the restoftheparty lefttown on the"”first"train W Chicago, supposedly to attend the world series, and left their car and the body behind.
