Have You the “Bug?” Near the end of the campaign— | just when every one is working to put his or her nearest competitor away back in the last row under the bal- cony—there is very likely to be an epidemic strike some of the club | members.. There is likely to be an| cpidemic that. gets into people’s sys- ter d makes them feel blue and| tie. That microbe is a mighty nzorous bug and the only way to o0 that bug from losing your cam- paign is to feed it large amounts of |real energy. Hustle and energy are sure cures for the disease. Some of the club members become discouraged when a competitor casts a large number of credits, the very ohject of ning these credits being to weaken competitors. Then, some- times forgetful of the moment of the magnificent prizes a club mem- ber will stop by the wayside and be- moan his fate. The result is that those who possess more hustle, am bition and energy go around him whike | he is thinking it over, | CHORAL SOCIETY MEETS | attendanc BIG CREDIT COUNT IN THE PIONEER CAMPAIGN ; TOMORROW; RESULTS TO BE PUBLISHED THURSBAY close of the lecture by the Northern| WEDNESDAY EVENINGS To promote moie interest in music and to provide amusement during the winter months, a Ci unity Choral society is being organized under the direction of Mys.

Vaughn (United Press Staff Correspondent) Rio de Janciro, Oct. 11.—It is gen- erally believed that the next three months will witness the success or failure of the coffee valorization ylan recently instituted by the Brazilian government. Opinion on the outcome of the gi gantic scheme—which is nothing les than cornering the hle coffee sup: ply of the world—varies, Count Alex- andre Siciliano, is confident of its suc- cess and declares that within a few wecks the Brazilian government will be in a position to absolutely control the price of coffee in New York. Opponents of the plan advance these arguments: Coffee is sold in Santos and Rio de Janeiro for paper milreis, and the big New York houses are in a position to hammer down zilian exchange so that the selling price of coffee in gold—or United States dollars—will not vary, no mats ter what the price in milreis. The govBrnment runs the great danger of stimulating coffee produc- tion in other countries—notably Por- , Mexico, Columbia and Ven- Charle s i the Town of Vedn October 12, at 8 o’cloc! ve entertain-| ment is assured all who attend, i a—permanently losing for Bra- 1 the position of the foremost coffee country of the world, , KES TU BRAZILIAN GGVERNMENT IS TRYING TO CORNER WORLD'S COFFEE SUPPLY: SCHEME MAY SUCCEED Chief of Valorization Committee Declares that Within Few Months Brazil Will Be in a Pesition to Control Price of U.

In the meantime, Field Judge Moriarity ruled Mike Gonzales off-side and chased him to the side lines. In the second set the Giants broke through HoyUs delivery and made Ithe count one love. Frisch and Kel- ly’s stroking was par-effective. The Giants had a nice pair to draw !to in the third hand, but Hoyt dealt |them off the bottom of the deck and |they lost their anti. After that, when- ever they tried to bluff, the Yanks nlled them. | In the fourth inning, Bob Meusel| banged the cue ball off the side rail| and two balls dropped in the pockets for the Yanks.

The weather burcau forecast| s partly cloudy and much colder. | s s i e i ST | Outlining the position of the gov- ernment in a speech at Santos, Presi- dent Epitacio Pessoa said: “The valorization of coffee is not| a problem for the state of Sao Paulo (the great coffee-) g state) alone, but for the nation, because coffee con- I stitutes our greatest source of na-| tional income.” The president recalls the silk valor- tion scheme of Japan and other gimilar plans, declaring that no mat- ter what the success or failure of these have been, Brazil is bound to win out in her present plan, because: “We produce 75 per cent of the world’s coffee, and when a nation thus dominates the market for a nec- essity like coffee, she can be certain of dominating the price.” The president said the coffee crop for the season 1921-1922 is estimated | at 15,500,000 bags, and that a short- age is bound to result since consump- tion during the year 1919-1920 was 18,499,000 bags, and that consump- tion during the current year shows a tendency to exceed even that fig- ling first. | Harper. | Shawkey singled to left. inorthwest, interested ure.
