The Strong Marion, o. League
Team Will Be Here to Play
Local Aggregation.
HOUGHTON WITH MARION.
THE LITTLE RUSH HAS ELEcTRI-
FLED THE OHIO CIRCUIT AND is
THE IDOL OF THE FANS-OTH-
Err STARS.

Polo fandom, both sexes, will turn
the coliseum between the Richmond
team and the Marion Ohio State lea
que team. For the first time this sea
son Richmond will have an opponent
worthy of it's steel and there is no
reason why the game should not be
worth going miles to see. The Mar
ion outfit is headed by the only KiddO
HOughton, the crack little local rush
who has been burning up the Ohio
state circuit. The Kiddo is playing
the game of his life this year and he
already holds a mortgage on the en-
tire city of Marion. The two Devlins,
Hughey and Eddie. who used to play
in the old Western league, are mem
bers of the Marion team and local
fandom will extend them a warm well
come. The plat for the game is at
the Westcott pharmacy. The two
teams will line up this evening as fol-
lows:

SHAMROCKS WILL
PROBABLY ACCEPT
Decision to Enter League This
Week.

One night this week the members Of
the Shamrock Athletic club will de-
eide on accepting the franchise recent
ly granted by the magnates OF the In
diana-Ohio base ball association. Ac-
cording to the agreement reached at
the Muncie meeting of the association
last Thursday afternoon the Sham
rocks must file their acceptance or
rejection of the franchise before next
Saturday night
The prediction may be safely made
that the Shamrocks will enter the
league as all the members seem heart
lily in favor of such a move In case
the Shamrocks turn down the propo-
sition the league would be willing, it
is said, to entertain other local appli-
cations for the franchise Muncie,
the magnates claim, will support good
league base ball, and that league ball
will Guido Independent teams. With
Muncie's coming, the organization of
the league will be perfected for the
seasOn.-Muncie Star.

Warrants for Three Days
Service in February Were
Issued by Parry.
SERVED UNTIL THE 18TH.
AS CITY ATTORNEY HOLDS THAT
Ex-OFFICER WAS NOT LEGALLY
CLERK, HE MAY NOT GET PAY
UP TO THEN.

Warrants have been issued by City
Controller Parry, on the advice of City
Attorney T. J. Study, for the payment
of ex-City Clerk Taggart for services
to February s. Mr.. Taggart rendered
his resignation on the evening Of Feb
ruary and City Attorney Study is OF
the opinion that his duties as clerk
ceased at the time he handed his res
ignation to council.
Taggart after rendering his resigna-
ton continued to hold office until
Monday, Feb. II, when c. w. Merrills
appointment as clerk was confirmed
by council. Mr.. Study states that Tag
CART cannot receive pay for the work
he performed during this period be-
cause he was not legally city clerk.
1t is probable that Mr.. Merrill will
put in a claim for payment from the
date he qualified for office to the
time he was confirmed as clerk.
1t is certain that Mr.. Taggart will
fight the action taken by Controller
Parry as he has contended that he
was legally clerk of the City of Rich
mond from the date of his resignation
up to the time the appointment of Mr..
Merrill was confirmed by council. He
will probably make a demand on the
city treasurer for payment but his de.
mand will be turned down.
1t is also probable that an ordinance
appropriating to Taggart the amount
due him for services during the per.
iod in question, will be introduced in
council. What action council will take
in such an event is not known. City
Attorney Study is of the opinion that
council would have no authority to
pass such an ordinance.

Basket Ball Game Next Fri
day Night viii Be Great
est of Local Season.
DEPAUW EXPECTS TO WIN.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS, EARL
HAM ALSO FEELS THAT A
CRIMP WILL BE PUT IN THE
METHopiSTS' ASPIRATIONS.

Enthusiasm is at the highest pitch at
Earlham this week. Nothing is talk
ed of but the De PAW basket ball
game to be played Friday night and
the Quakers are going to do their best
to defeat the Methodists The Qua
kers and Methodists have been rivals
for almost ages, in debate, oratOry and
athletics, and the game this week will
be the hardest struggle the Quakers
will have this season.
That DePauw has every intention of
winning from Earlham, is evidenced
by the fact that the Methodists can
celled their game with Wabash, in or
der to be in good trim for the game
with Earlham.
That Butler defeated the De PAW
team must be taken with a grain of
salt. The MethOdistS played the But
lerites in the Butler gymnasium and
this fact gave the Butler team an ad-
vantage of at least 20 points. Pruitt,
the DePauw center, is one of the best
in the state, and Sheets, one of their
guards, chalked up six straight goals
in the last game against Earlham.
The curtain raiser on Friday night
will be played between the Earlham
Reserves and the Kibbcy team of Rich
mond, and will be a good starter for
the struggle which will follow.
In chapel this morning President
Kelly gave over the entire hour to
Coach Vail and to the students. The
coach gave the student body talk on
athletics in general and on the subject
Oh taking care of ones self; how to
breathe. how to walk and how to climb
stair steps.
Happy Wann," the yell leader, then
took the boys in hand and drew forth
from them such yells as have seldom
been heard in the chapel. Several
new yells have been learned and the
100 voices made the auditorium ring.
In the game Friday, the entire body
of the boys will gather in the south
west corner of the rink and will cheer
their squad on to victory. Coach Vail
instructed them in simple manners this
morning, telling them that De Paw
had been invited to come to Richmond
to play Earlham and that no rudeness
would be tolerated towards the visit
ing team. They are our guests, and
we are their host" he said, land a
cheer for them when they come out on
the floor will show quite the proper
spirit"

FLETCHERISM.
What Should One Eat and How
Should 1t Be Eatens


Henry Ward Beecher made the re-
mark once in talking with friends on
helpful Christianity that good eating
and sound digestion were positively
needed to insure the kind of Christian
ity Christ taught"
What shall or dare 1 eat?" is seri-
Gus question with many mothers. Hor-
ace Fletcher tried to answer the ques-
ton with a view to helping the largest
number of people putting the query.
He said:
Eat only in response to an actual
appetite, which will be satisfied with
plain bread and butter.
Chew all solid food until it is liquid
and practically swallows itself.
Sip and taste all liquids that have
taste, such as soup lemonade, etc. Wa
ter has no taste and can be swallowed
Immediately.
Never take food while angry or wor-
ried and only when calm. Waiting for
the mood in connection with the appe-
tite is a speedy cure for both anger and
worry.
Remember and practice the above
four rules, and your teeth and your
health will be fine"
These rules some time ago became
known as 'Fletcherism" and are being
practiced by many who favor them.
They cannot be harmful, and they GER
tainly are helpful. - Mothers Maya

written: II have learned in my long
life two rules of prudence. The first is
to forgive much: the second is never to

"A little forgetting would not detract
from the sincerity of the forgiveness

THE MEERSCHAUM PIPE.
1t Was Invented by KavoI kovates,
n Pesth Shoemaker.

n Pesth Shoemaker.
Kavol kowates, a Pesth shoemaker,
invented the meerschaum pipe. He
died in 1894. A large piece of meer-
schaum was brought to Pesth by
Count Andrassy In 1928. 1t had been
given 70 the count in Turkey. He
fetched it home because, as a piece
of white clay OF extraordinarily light
specific gravity, it pleased him.
kavol Kowates was noted in Pesth
for his skill in carving, and Count
Andrassy took his chunk of light white
clay to him ard said:
Make, fellow, something pretty out
of this
The ingenious kavol, a great smok-
err, thought that the porousness of the
white clay adapted it we'll for pipes,
and accordingly he made two from it,
one for himself and one for Count
Andrassy.
The pipes were charming, and they
smoked superbly. The fame of them
spread. In course of time meerschaum
mining and meerschaum pipe making
became two of the recognized indus
tries of the world.
The original Kavol kowates pipe, the
worlds first meerschaum, is still pre-.
served in the Pesth museum.
