Fine Basket Ball Game.

One of the hottest basket ball
games ever played in Canton took
place in the Armory last Friday v
ming between the Canton High School
team and the Akron athletic associa-
tion team.
Both teams we're determined to win
and they showed their metal from
the first throw of~the ball. 1t was
nip and tuck all the way although
the Akron team was larger and heav-
ier individually than the home team,
but weight and size cut no figure
when the Canton boys got their vic
tory paint on.
The game was a tie at the end OF
the first half 6 to 6 and second half Is
to l6. and it took an extra ten min
utes play to give Canton the victory
the score being Canton Is, Akron Is.
In the language Of the game it was
a red hot hummer, and the Canton
boys won by pure grit and superior
playing. The line up for Canton was
as follows:
Asher Anderson center and captain,
Arthur Goetz and Kenneth Fobes,
forwards, Ernest Rudolph and Joe
Olson guards. Mr.. Montague Of Ak
ron was umpire and Floyd Cooper Of
Canton referee.
1t will be a long time before a bet
ter game will be played in Canton or
anywhere else for that matter.

The Lincoln County Farmers
Mutual Insurance Go.

The secretary and t~reasurer's re-
port of the business of this company
for 1908 is published in this issue OF
the LEADER, and a p~erusal Of the
same discloses the excellent condition
of its affairs.
There is ample proof that the farm
ers of this county have n of the
best, if not the best local insurance
company in the state. Its affairs are
managed by careful and competent
officials, men who labor for the well
fare of the members with a pride
born of a desire to protect, aid and as
sist the them.
Secretary Hanson's books are mod
els of neatness and correctness, and
every detail is given in full. The
company is managed with strictest
economy and every postage stamp is
accounted for.
The total number Of policies In
force on December 81, were 1912 and
and the membership is 1923, with in
%surance amounting to 1885, OBS.
The losses for the year we're 50, $50.
SO, and for 1907 the losses were 49,,
1926, 81. The heaviest single loss fol
1907 was Mount Zion church, $1,000
and the heaviest for 1908 was Mrs
Asper's big barn in Norway town
ship, s1,255.oo.
The treasurer's report shows cash
=. hood To r,,nr, 1Sf 32 C1C 70 oil
most enough to pay the anticipated
losses for 1909. The amount of in.
~surance and membership shows an
increase over 1907.
The LEADER is pleased to note that
the company in annual session Tues
day increased President Deans sal.
ary to $50, and Secretary Hanson's
salary was increased from 800 to $500
This is a hopeful sign. If the 1925
members could fully realize the
amount of work required of Mr.. Han
son to look after the entire details OF
the business, they would have incr-
eased his salary to $500 long ago. The
$50 paid the President is only a comp
liment, it is not pay, but the comp
any will soon begin to appreciate the
worth of their officers.
The following directors we're elect
ed at the annual meeting last Tues
day: ii. L. Fitch, A. j. Rommereim,
A. J>Wimple, H. A. Skie, Herman
Koch, Joseph Shebal, Perry Juel, Ed
gar Dean and Math Hanson, and re-
elected Edgar Dean president, Perry
Juel vice president, and Math Han
son secretary and treasurer.

He Is All OF It..

Hudsonite: Hon. Sander Brynjul.
son came down from Canton Friday
and visited with his many Hudson
friends between trains. He is one Of
our popular legislators, who was re-
elected to office by a very fiattering
majority, and he will do good work in
the legislature this winter, for he is a
man Of the people and for them, and
knows what is needed and wanted by
his constituents. He is one of the
most successful farmers in Highland
township. in private life, a man
highly respected by his neighbors,
and an influential man in the COM
munity where he has spent most of
his life. Lincoln county can con-
graduate herself upon the material
she selected to make legislative tim
Der of, for our legislators without ex-
ception possess that rugged honesty,
and earnestness of purpose which in.
sures their constituents a square deal
every time.

gentlemen invited to the New Years
dinner, had been previously informed
of MI. Wendt's sorrow, and they de-
cided to give him a ''ShOWer,' and
they lowered n SnOWereu.
First came a pair of elegant white
silk hose, then another pair of hand
somely marked silk foot wear came,
and the shower continued until ten
pair of the finest silk hose that money
could buy Vas OF the table and the
recipient of the shower bluShed and
redeemed and smiled and wondered.
Then father Wendt laid down a pair
''such as mother used to make" and
the shower ceased amid general cong
ratulatiOnS.
Mr.. Wendt wouldn't make aSpeech,
but he remarked hat he was mighty
glad Old Santa Claus forgot him at

Cleanliness,

Habits Of cleanliness are not as ex-

when once formed it is believed that
they pay for themselves in ones in
creased standing, reputation, improved
physical health, mental power and
moral worth; all of which contribute
not only to the happiness, but in
crease earning power as well.-From

Game Of Chance,

Good negatives are very largely a
matter of accident, writes Giles Edger-

Of subjects and time, it is nevertheless
true that the novice may secure with
his kodak a more artistic negative
than the trained veteran, and that the
veteran himself will get the most
artistic negatives largely as a result
of chance"
