EDDYVILLE AWAKENS
Our Little Sister to the South Will
Build Auditorium.

Eddyyille has awakened to the fact
that short courses, corn and poultry,
and all other sorts of shows are a
good thing for Eddyville, and so the
town is going to buiid a big struc-
ture, for the special purpose OF ac-
commodating all sorts OF big shows
and exhibitions. When town like
Eddyvilfe with perhaps 1900 people,
sees the point, II seems a bit strange
that there should still be large towns
In the state OF Iowa that are explain.
ing: ITO be sure, the corn show, and
the auto show and the poultry show,
the short course, would all be good
things for the town, II We only had
a place where they could be housed. !
II Is again case of the smaller
towns showing the Iowa cities the
way.

The DOings of the Dozen for the
month of March was held Oh the
night of the 22nd at the home Of Mr.
and Mrs. j. NJ. Butler. Bad roads
and bad colds cut down the attenu-
ance, but those who surmounted
these difficulties were well paid for
their trouble. The first part of the
evening was spent in visiting and re-
viewing current events. Refresh.
ments were served and Mrs. Butler
had the pleasure of seeing them dis
appear by the tray load. Contests
resulted in the Hess family taking
every prize. This was to be a 9nusi-
cal number, but several of our best
musicians were absent. Those pres
ent, however, did their best to make
it success. The violin duet by
Misses Cordelia Barnes and Fay noel
deserves special mention. The young
people ushered in the Eastertide by
singing number of good old songs.
All present had splendid time and

WEST POINT WINS
 FROM MlDSHIPMEN
FINAL BIC FOOTBALL GAME oe THE SEASON PLAYED BEFORE
 RECORD BREAKING CROWD.

New York, Nov 29.-Tte Army football team furnished a spectacular and confusing finale to ;ho eastern football season of 1913 by defeating the Navy eleven at the Polo Grounds today by a score of 22 to g.
 Completely outplayed during the opening period of the game, the ca. dets swept the sailors off their feet lin the second half of the contest by a combination of brilliant individual land open team play hat quickly rolled up an overwhelming lead
 With victory in sight for the first time in four years the West Point team scored rapidly and finished tht game with total that has mol been exceeded by either academy in ten years
 Despite the annihilation of the Navys hope of fourth consecutive victory over the Army, the game was fought ont desperately until the clos ing moment and the sailors went down with coors flying.
 From technical football stand point the playing of both victor an, vanquished did not rise above tn, usual callbre of the annual gridirot struggle between the two teams Much of the work of coaches went fo naught when the battle reached it height, and there was the usual man to-nian struggle, with favorable team work more or less forgotten 1 From the standpont of the specta tors, however, the game and its set ting lost nothing of its thrilling sri and interest and as result the i2,00 persons present gasped and cheere by turns at the kaleidescopic scene depicted. The use of the forwar pass. used repeatedly by the cadets opened mp the plan to far greate extent than the more conservativ 1ne attack and runs of the middier thus furnishing the spectators man brilliant football pictures.
 It was in the execution of this pla that the Army advantage lay and tn
 final score demonstrated how success lfully 1t was worked.
