Candidates for the Athletic club football team are taking much inter- est in the game which is to be played with the high school as a county fair attraction next Friday afternoon, and as a consequence a large number of players were out for practice last evening. Practice this evening will begin at 7 o’clock and a captain for the season will be elected. There are several likely candidates for the position, but it is probable that the honor will go to Hal Huffman, the fast and heady little quarter. Huit- man is one of the most experienced gridiron warriors on the club aggre- gation, having starred at the quarter- back and halfback position at the Be- midji and Minneapolis high schools and also won favor at the state uni- versity while playing on the fresh- men eleven, his weight alone keep- ing him from being given a regular berth on Coach William’s machine.

London, Sept. 16.—An Antwérp dis- patch to the Central News says the German force against which the Bel- gians have been operating has been heavily reinforced, particularly with guns. It is believed the reinforce- ments came- from Liege, where a thousand German marines are report- ed to have arrived. The Belgian retirement is said to be due to fear that the Germans would burn Brussels.

Many more prison- ers weretaken. “It is reported from the French headquarters that the German crown prince’s army has been driven back and that he has moved'his headquar- ters from St. Menehould to Mont Faucon.” CROWDS VISIT BATTLEFIELD Parisians Collect Souvenirs of Titanic Struggle. Paris, Sept. 15.—Certain. parts of the field of the battle of Marne, in the department of Oise, were meccas of pilgrimages of curious crowds. The suburban trains of the Northern rail- road carried great numbers of sight- seers, most of whom returned with souvenirs of the great battle. The souyenirs brought from the bat- tlefield consisted of helmets, frag- ments of shells and cartridges, weap- cns, pennants and equipment. All who visited the battlefield were en- thusiastic over the evidence they had seen of their countrymen’s victory. They said, however, that the battle- fields are still a gruesome sight and that the bodies of French and Ger- mans, shattered by shell wounds, are lying thick along the roads and lanes.

That’s why men are glad to find “Right-Cut.” Then when they’ve got it, the natural thing to do is to tell a friend—so he can get the Real Tobacco Chew. Pure, rich tobacco — seasoned and sweetened just enough. ? Take a very small chew—less than one-quarter the old size. It will be more satisfying than a mouthful ofordinary tobacco. Just nibble on it until you find the strength chew that suits you. Tuck it away. Thenlet it rest, See how easily and evenly the real . tobacco taste comes, how it satisfies without grinding, how much less you have to spit, how few chews you take to be tobacco satisficd. That’s why it is The Real Tobacco Chew. That’s why it costs less in the end. It is a ready chew, cut fine and short shred so that you won't have to grind on it with your teeta. Grinding on ordinary candied tobacco &> makcs you spit too much. The taste of pure, rich tobacco does not need to be covered up with molasses aad Licorice. INotice how the salt brings out the rich tobacco taste in " Right-Cut." One small chew takes the place of two big chews of the old kind.
