PRESIDE NJ is BUSY

NEW YORK, Nov s.-The Ma.
tional league is in a big row over the
case of Horace Fogel. The Ph.ia-
delphia magnate evidently knows
what he Is talking about when he
says that he is backed up by C. w.
Murphy. of Chicago and C. H. Eb-
belts, OF Brooklyn. Hitherto 1t has
been stated that 1t would require
seven votes to oust Fogel from the
councils of the league. but 1t was
limited on good authority yesterday
that a majority vote, or five clubs,
would be sufficient. 1t also was
learned that the New York, Bos,on.
Pittsburg. Cincinnati and St. Luis
clubs would stand together, although
1t was admitted that ST. Louis might
be won over by tho Fogel- Murpay-
Ebbets combination.
President Lynch. who has been
visiting Chicago. Cincinnati and Pitts
burg, returned 10 National league
headquarters yesterday with the state
fnen that his trip West had been
eminently satisfactory. Lynch did not
appear annoyed by the latest state
ments from Fogel and said that there
would be no caange in the plans al

violation of the Mann white slavery
act. The pugilist displayed the first
violence since his arrest Thursday by
attacking a photographer at the jail
door.
Judge lands, in examining the
btudsmen, uncovered situation
which he denounced from the bencn
as a brazen attempt to put over
dirty deal on the court that would
have degraded the old police courts
of Chicago In their worst days.

jurists held Albert Charles Jones. one

tempt of court, and sent him to Jail

Virginia Students
Indignant Over
Newspaper Yarn

CHARLOTTESVILLE VA, Nov. 8.
Virginia students. players and. gen.
orally speaking, all those interested In
athletics at the university, were con-
siderably incensed when shown the
article in a Washington newspaper
implying that Virginia athletics were
not as clean as they might be. The
article" exclaimed Elliot. head coach
of the football team, was written
through clear spite and nothing else.
The writer did not pretend to assert
anything based on facts or specific
knowledge. but twisted Ideas merely
to take a slam at our school.
Virginia and Georgetown have an
agreement whereby each can question
the eligibility of players OF the other
team. The evidence in the Rhein-
child case was indisputable. Person
ally. / know rothing whatever about
our questioning the right o. Derby
to play, however, though, when a
man plays last year at Virginia Poly
technic institute and attempts to play
the following year at Georgetown an
investigation sureiy Is not amiss. Fur
thermore, we invite after this spitefnl
Implication, anyone to pull a fnetooth
comb through Virginia athletics"
Coach Elliotts remarks were duly
endorsed by DR.. Albert Lefevre, one
of the faculty advisers. He appeared
vc"v much surprised especially after
the frequent consultations that have
been bad with Georgetown authort-
ties on this question.
Rain fell practically all last night
and internationally during the day, put

dition. Elliott had the team out for

ing short scrimmage. Captain Todd

The whole scheme of play was du-

trouble scoring another touchdown,

Ten Dry States.

Of the forty-eight states now
composing the Union, ten of them
have Statewide prohibition Vir-
ginia voted dry" on Tuesday of
last week by large mojority and
State wide prohibition will go in
to effect on November 1 1916.
The new temperance law will pro-
hibit sale of liquor, even the clubs
and also prohibit manufacture of
spurious liquors. Wine, cider
and beer may be manufactured,
but must be shipped out of the
state.
Virginia's adoption of State
wide prohibition of the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicants bring
the number of such Common
wealths up to ten. The others
are Ma inc, Kansas, Georgia,
Mississippi, North Carolina, Okla

YOUTH AND OLD AGE.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel 6. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Health.

Between youth and old age
there is never ending conflict.
Vitality is continually pitted
against experience and some-
times victory falls to the one.
and again, to the other.
Among the greatest names in
history we find side by side those
of youth and Ole age. Men who
have lived temperate lives and
have escaped the aggravating in
firmities Of age, are often more
than a match for youth in mental
endurance.
The health and efficiency of an
elderly man depends largelyQpon
his mental attitude. The man
who begins to look over his shoul-
der at fifty will be stumbling
through life at sixty, while the
one who is continually looking
ahead and seeking intellectual
advancement, will continue to
Increase in mental capacity. The
brains power grows long after
the maximum ofphysical strength
has been reached.
For the man of advanced years.
simple diet and regularity of
habits are essential. The ply
siological processes are less ac-
tive, and many structures lack
the elasticity of youth and should
not be subjected to undue strain.
Tolerant age is more that a
match for intolerant youth and
the mental poise which should
come with advancing years has
decided bearing on the physical
well-being and mental power.
The infrmities of age are oft
en- less of a handicap to the ac-
complishment of serious and eff
fectiye work than the erratic
of youth.

Peaches, Dinner, Snakes.

We doubt if any man in the
County is getting more for his
money than Sheriff Harris is re-
ceiving in both cash and fun
since he invested in that Ford
touring car. In addition to max
ing a living by running the car
for hire, Jim sees that his family
gets its proper share of travel.
He always sees the bright side of
things while on his trips, and his
latest story is as follows: Last
week he took his family for a
spin to Franklin county by way
of st. Thomas and Mercersburg.
Near the latter place they took
dinner with Doc" Mellott who
has two of the finest farms in
FRANKLIN county. jim informed
our reporter that DOC" then
took them to his big peach orch
ards and told them to, Help
themselves" which they pro-
ceeded to do in way that made
Jim fear and tremble in anticipa-
tion of having to purchase half a
dozen new belts. Just as they
approached a tempting tree of
fruit, eight snakes sheltered for
but all were killed. Jim
swore by the beard of the
Prophet" that it was true.

creases. In this immediate vi
cinity, quail are very scarce, as
the heavy SHOWS of last winter
killed them. 1t will be recalled
that while the larger part OF
Fulton county was covered with
deep SHOWS, surrounding terri
tory was almost free of snow.
Even large feathered game like
wild turkeys starved in this coun-
ty last winter. From reports
from over the County we think
that there is about the usual
number of squirrels. Rabbits
are reported plenty. Pheasants
have not been plenty in the coun-
ty for a number of years, but
there are probably as many as
usual. With the exception of
quail, game including deer
will probably be as plenty (or as
scarce) as hunters have been ac-
customed to find it during the
past few years.

Some Pumpkin.

In the garden around at the
home of Ray and Keyser the pop
ular bakers on east Market street
grew, this year, a pumpkin that
measured in circumference / yd.
2 feet, and 8 inches, and weigh
ed a trifle less than three eight
ieths of a ton. 1t is a great
"punkin." Mr.. Keyser felt so
much elated over his being able
to carry it into the house without
any one helping him, that he be-
came reckless, and boastfully of
fered a quarter to any one who
could carry it out. Mrs. Keyser
quietly picked up the pumpkin
and toted it out, Of course, she
got the quarter.
