He won the heavyweight wrestling cham pionship at the Olympic games in 1920. For the last year he has been ' hanging his style, learning to han dle the padded mitts.

The Iowa farmers are not | much in field events, yet we find Wilkin vaulting 12 feet, 1 inch in 1917. HI* record was good for five years and was fractured when Captain Rogers of Kansas at the last meet ucsieu i ue mam oy nan a loui In track events and especially in the runs, Ames can always he count ed on to score. This year Melntire and Bierbaum were high men in the mile run. and Hamtnerly in the half, was but a stride behind Gardner, doughty little Cornhusker who won Nebraska's only first. Last year at Lawrence. Ratlibun set a new val ley record in the two mile. Frevert was third in the mile. Higgins, with the aid of W oilers, took the half mile, while Wolters. Western Conference middle distance champion, won the 440 and wum content with second in the half, At St. Louis In 1921 Rath bun won the two-mile. Webb and Hig gins tied at 1:56 in the half and Graham took second in the mile. Ray Watson, Kansas Aggie speed ster. whose tilts with Joie Ray have aroused much comment, won the mile in 4:22 2-5.

In the past four meets in the half, mile und two mile Ames has placed 19 men and has won five firsts, seven seconds and four thirds and as many fourths. Ames distance stars In relay com bines have repeatedly won at Drake and have at least on one occasion showed their heels to the best in the east at the Penn classic. To go back still further. Hawthorne was unbeatable in the two-mile six or seven years ago and in 1913 Far quakar set a record of 4:22 2-5 in the mile, which has since been equaled but once in Conference meets. In cross-country Ames ranks ace high. In 1920 at (Jrlnnell, five Amee men crossed the tape after the five mile grind before anyone else showed up. And they repeated In 1921 Iowa Stale college doesn't win con ference meets, and they lose dual meets regularly, hut when thpre is an Ames man on the scratch in a race where the starter instructs them to go two or four or eight laps, you can lay odds that this sains speed demon, whether engineer, ' ag" or "\et," will come romping home In the money.

The Arrival of Barney Google and Spark Plug in Omaha to Attend the Ak-Sar-Ben Races On the Screen at the Speaker llr^es Interest in Vote Brother of K. M. Landis De clares U, S. Is Playing Role of Rip Van Winkle. "Unless we of the United States be gin to take more interest in voting we should amend our constitution and get our presidents and statesmen from Sears Roebuck." So declared Frederick Landis, for mer congressman of Indiana and noted author, playwright, statesman and lawyer, who spoke at the Ad veitising-Sellfng league meeting last night on "Amerizanizing the Ameri cans." "Our ancestors lost sleep winning our independence and we are mak ing up the sleep for our ancestors," continued. Mr. Landis, who is a broth er of K. M. l^andis, former federal judge. "Never!heless, we should be proud of our record—we are the -only people who ever played Rip Van Winkle longer than Joe Jefferson. "Men who used to go into politics for the good of their country are now going into the money-making business for their own good. The peo ple seem to demand cowards In politi cal office. With a few notable excep tions, such as Theodore Roosevelt, our politicians who show any signs of bravery are penalized. The old fellows who built our nation thought we’d care about it, but we don't seem to." Although insisting that things, par ticularly in politics, are drifting into near chaos, Mr. Landis Is confident the country will have a rebirth. He attributes the decadence of the real American spirit, for one thing, to the vanishing of party newspapers. Suits Against Maternity Art Are Dismissed Washington, June 5.—The supreme court refused yesterday, to pass on the constitutionality of the Shepparl Tow ner maternity’ act, In -cases brought by the stale of Massachusetts and a Boston taxpayer. Both suits were dismissed for want of jurisdic tion. Unanimously the court held that an attack on the validity of the statute by a state did not present a judicial question. As to the suit instituted by Mrs Harriet A. Krothingham. the court declared her status as a tax payer did not entitle her to challenge the law. Discussing questions of jurisdiction taised by the Massachusetts case, the court's opinion, delivered by Justice Sutherland, declared that "looking through forms of words to the sub stance of their complaints. It is merely that officials of the executive department of the government are expecting and will expect an act of congress asserted to be uneonstltu tional; and this we are asked to pre vent." 2 Die from Heat.

Roscpe Showered With ; Flowers in Come-Back; l few Ai'i..cku. ISy 1'rm. cnicago, June a.—Koacoe i:. ir any) Arbuckle, motion picture comedian, appeared before an audience at a summer garden here last night for the first time since his trial on a charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of Virginia Rappe. He was given an enthusiastic ovation by a packed house. Smiling happily at the applause and cheers, Arbuckle in a brief speech said: "I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's the first time I’ve had a real smile in a long time.” The foyer of the garden where "Fatty" has an indefinite engagement in a single act comedy skit was lined with .flowers from his friends In all parts of the world. Telegrams and messages wishing him good luck from his former assoeiates on the screen and a number of his local admirers, were tacked to a bulletin board in the lobby. Witn his appearance here last night it was learned that when Arbuckle first announced his intention of re turning to vaudeville, his friends ad vised him against making his debut in Chicago. They pointed out that Chicago was the birth place of Miss Rappe, and. besides, was a "cold, hard-boiled city." These facts were said to ha\e m-de him all the more determined to make a new bid for public favor here. In Chicago he was quoted a* saying, he would meet the acid teat. It was estimated that a house of 2,500 watched him "come hack." Hunt Big Bootlegger®. N<-w York. June 5.—The big fellows j in the bootleg world will occupy the attention of the small force of federal prohibition agent* in New York from now on. R.

The raid was the most important since the re peal of the slate enforcement law. To Suppress French Royalists, ttv \.«Hrren. Pari*, June 5.—Firm measures to suppress the loyalists' frequent resort to force were approved by the cham ber of deputies this afternoon during heated political maneuvering de signed to compel Premier Poincare to come forth with a strong state ment promising vigorous action against the royalist organisation. "For men who . want to know why ” I KNOW I am safe in saying that most men prefer a mild cigar. I would hold this opinion even if I were not a cigar manufac turer. And there could be no better proof of its correctness than the universal call for I-a Palinas from every town and city in this country. There is no question about the mildness of La Palina, whether you buy it next week, next month or next year. Tobacco crop conditions never affect its flavor—for many years it has been the same—it always will lie the same. The mild, full bodied flavor of La Palina is the result of an exclusive combination of fine imported tobacco. I keep on hand, tit advance of manufacturing requirements, more than three and one-half million dollars’ worth of this tobacco. It is cured and tested and the proper combination made in advance. The varying strengths and flavors of crops of dif ferent years are blended in exactly the pro portions that produce the one flavor you recognize as La Palina. No matter where or when you buy it. La Palina is the same—a full-bodied, satisfy ing, mild cigar.

This was a statement made today by Governor Bryan oil the action taken Mipreau court yesterday in holding the Reed-Nerval language law invalid. The governor, In commenting on the supreme court's action, expressed Itelief that such action would’ meet with more approval now than it would three years ago when war feeling was at its height. "The decision of th» supreme court seemed to be based on the weil es tablished idea of a free press, fr«e speech and a right to worship one s God as his conscience dictates," the governor said. "The Reed Norvsl and Siman laws were passed at the close of the war and action was a result of war feeling and a belief that it was not contrary to our con stitution.” The governor declined to make any definite answer to a question as to whetht^ he believed the bill intro duced and killed by the last legisla ture repealing the Reed Norval law should have passed. , "Inasmuch as my only son served in the world war and commanded col ored troops.
