. R T Rl PO £ R . [ - WONDAY EVENING, DECEMBEK ¢, 1920 'MAN “THE CHEAPEST ANINAL” | Bearer of Burdens, for Simplest of All Reasons. " s Not,a wheeled vehicle is seen in all west bhlna except the wheelbarrow, near Cheng-tu. Thousands of tons of commerce pass over these highways annually, all on the backs of men; and as we approach the centers of population we find"the sewage and the water ‘of the city are on their backs also.’ The “Back of Man” is the unwrit- ten eplc of this land; for, Atlaslike, it beats’the world upon it. The coal and -other minerals from the moun- tains; the cities, with their walls and towers and all that they contain; the ‘wood on the hills and the grain of the plain—all, together with the pigs on the way to market and the men who can afford it—all have ridden or ride upon the back of man. The reason is not far to seek. It1s purely economic. Man.is the most ef- ficient machine and the cheapest an- fmai, and so it comes to pass that he 1s the universal animal, the omnibus of commerce and the pack mule of the race. It is cheaper to wear men down than keep roads up. When he mls,i few care and still fewer pity, for oth- ers are eager to fill his place. Should | we offer to take the burden from his shoulder, he would regard it as taking the rice from his bowl—Dr. Joseph Beech in the Natlonal dcagruphln Magazine.

Such a-match is expected to prove a-reat drawing card. In planning another fighting card, the Legion boxing committee will do away wifh the heavyweight class since on both previous occasions the heavyweight headliner has proven to be the only cause for dissatisfaction. By doing this it is believed that fast bouts will be assured in every in- stance..

C. Patterson in-Collier’s Weekly of December 11. Commenting on tootball in the Western Conference, Patterson says that 400,000 spectators paid between $500,000 and $600,000 to see the conterence games. He attributes the success of-the season to the interest shown by appeal on behalf of them to have the players numbered in the future. ““Man for man,” he says, ‘“Wiscon- sin was unquestionably represented by the best team in the conference, ‘but notwithstanding this, she lost an early game to Ohio State by sheer stupidity on her side and daring brilliancy _on the part of Wilce's scrappy eleven. ,“Ohio State, the champion, was represented by a team without any outstanding stars, but she had a team | where all her men played consistentf football from whistle to whistle. | Their line work offensively was only fair and defensively it was\good, but | they proved themselves to be past masters in the forward passing game with Workman shooting and Stinch- comb receiving.
