One of the big games of the sched-
ule will be played by the local high
school football team at Riverside park
tomorrow afternoon. East high school

Mt. Vernon two weeks ago.
The Mt Vernon team has put in a
hard week of practice in preparation
for tomorrow's game and Is in fine
condition to enter the fray. All of
the men came out of the Mt. Gilead
game without injury and last Satur-
days defeat will act only as an in
centive for a desperate attempt to
win over the fast and heavy East eley-

support both financially and in spirit
and indications point to the fact that
they are going to get support in both
ways at the East game.

Rosetas Repairs
Affect Electricity

1t has been necessary Tor the c. d,
Company to turn practically all of the
water out of the Alamo channel from
the Alamo waste northward, as eX-
tensive repairs are necessary at the
Rositas dam. Pile-drivers are being
moved to Rositis and in addition to
other work steel sheet piling will be
driven in order to prevent seepage
which is weakening the structure.
This trouble has caused the Holton
Power Company to depend almost en-

reason of this the service has been
somewhat affected DUNG the past few
