open field runner as well as a fierce
plunger. The generalship 20 neces-
sary in directing Ely's maneuvers
was sadly lacking and killed Wether-
bees chances of occupying the lime
light of popular interest. His notable
backfeld work in the second game
entities him a post of honor at the
entities him to a place in the back
field. Wetherbee suffered through
the lack of ability of his team mades.
Walker was one of the crack half
backs in the district. With inter
ference to clear the way and by using
his head artfully. his uns were long
and brilliant. The McGill half was
preeminent in receiving forward
passes. He could be depended up
ON at critical stages, and his ability
to advance the pigskin on end runs
entities him to a place on the left
extremity.
Jack Morgan is deserving of being
chosen as quarter. He is picked for
that assignment because he display
ed generalship and all-around ability
in handling the team. Although not
a star of the highest magnitude. his
work excels that of the three men
who performed in that capacity for
the lads from the city of courthouses.
The showing of Eberly and Stroup
of McGiIl ON both extremities forces
followers Of the game to give them
great consideration. They were game
clear through. Both had the forward
pass down to a fine point. Eberele
a a line smasher of more than or
binary ability and an adept of the
open style game. The two McGill ends
were strong on the defensive, and
circled Ely's outer extremities in a
way that brought great gains.
Although not a Hercules as to size
Brown had many of the qualifications
of a good tackle. His individual de-
Tense was responsible for quite a bit
of the front that Ely presented when
the enemy's forces were on the Of
fensive. He proved to be the most
difficult man on the Ely team for
opponents to concentrate their attack
upon.
With Bentson as a playing mate
1t would leave the defensive strength
of the eleven unquestionable. Bent
son has a wonderful quick change,
and his speed and aggressiveness on
the field was evidenced on several
occasions when he had opportunities
to intercept forward passes. He al
ways did particular damage wherever
he happened to be.
Westenrider was a bulwark of de-
Tense as a guard. He was a steady
charger who never failed to do his
work in a proper manner, and
proved to be the best man In the dis
trict for that assignment. Gardner
is a heavy line man, and played a
w~ide-awake game. He was a serious
obstacle to the work of his opponents
and quick in breaking through the
line. He showed real ability in that
position.
Lowe stood by himself in the pivot
position. His passing was consistent
and he made more out of the assign
ment than anyone else. His fight
ing disposition on the offensive
would tell in any contest. He ac-
quired the knack of getting the
Jump on the ball and up to date has
outplayed any man that he faced.
The Ely team seemed to be lacking

A happily arranged social affair of

would reduce the damages and would obviate the necessity for calling out the fire department. It would not re- quire much if any effort to acquaint the members of household with the proper method to use the extinguish- CT and it's value would be apparent in the event of fire breaking out ln any part of the building.
 Fire prevention is very important, for once fire is started there is no telling where it will stop It isn't prob- able that 1t will end with such com- plete destruction as in Salem, but it is possible, and it is possibilities that must be guarded against. The greater part of the local calls are for fires in closets, in beds or among some refuse, and when the f1remen arrive 1t is to use a chemical that might be kept in the house and used whenever neces- sary. Such precaution would tend to lower insurance rates, but in any event would be benefit to occu- pants of the building.

lie sentiment now that trolley exten- sion for the public good should be pushed in other directions rather than to have a congestion of tracks in these streets altogether too narrow for double tracking. After the matter was brought up before and too hur- riedly acted upon, some prominent mem bers of the council changed their minds. One who had been active in its favor sought to have the whole matter withdrawn. and another said most emphatically that he did not be- lieve in double tracks in street only fifty feet wide. as that would leave only eight feet wide sidewalk spaces, which is altogether too narrow for thoroughfare. It should always be borne In mind that ninety per cent. of the people walk and should not be crowded off the sidewalks into the street, as in Washington street, Bos- ton. These people and those who drive their own vehicles have 8 right to larger part of the streets than double tracks would give them, for the streets were originally intended for their use alone and would have been made wider if the trolley uses could have been foreseen. Besides, and a matter of the most vital inn portance. if we would have the most beautiful and comfortable .kcity, no trees could then be grown in the nar- row curb space, scarcely eighteen inches wide This Is exactly where the trees should be to beautify the city and afford comfortable shade to those who walk and drive. If planted within the private yards they come too near the houses in most cases and are aHt to be in a helter skelter fash ion so as not to favor the best appear ance of the street When so many cities. as MT. Landers said in the coun- ell, are taking up this matter of tree planting at great expense, we should be careful not to make street for ever treeless. and convert it into lane. This certainly Is not good public policy and could not by any stretch of the term be called .pub lie spirit.

FIRE PREVENTION.

The Norwich Record makes this sensible inquiry: Why wouldn't 1t be a good idea for every holder of an apartment or of house to have at hand some sort of fire extinguisher and see that it is kept in order all the while?" Every person who knows anything about extinguishing fires or how to manage fire department will say that the promptness with which n department reaches the scene of a fire determines to a large extent what the damage will be. It does not re- uuire much effort to extinguish blaze in it's incipiency and if every house were equipped with an extin- guisher it's use when a fire is dis covered would prevent it's spread and

A Nurse From Farm to Farm.
 (Rreo6or'S Soyette


 The federal rural organization ser- vice has helped the people of Chiffon county, Ala. to organize and obtain the appointment of visiting trained nurse. The organization was essen scribe duties and set a standard for nurses. The result was the employ rnent of a woman certified by the Ma tional Red Cross society, and her ap- pcintment officially as an assistant to the county superintendent of schools
 The nurses work and the disburse- ment of money were placed under & committee consisting of the county health officer, county superintendent of schools, county agent and local physician. Her duties are to visit schools, inspect pupils and premises, lecture to teachers and pupils, to hold mothers meetings and in emergencies, when requested by the physician, to visit homes and assist in getting the patient over the crisis. It is reported that the plan Is meeting with favor by the authorities and the residents.
 The employment of a visiting nurse Is a form of community service that for several years has proved its value IT. cities. but the plan has been tried scarcely at all in the country. We begin to understand that there is no great difference between the needs of those who live in the country and those who live in town, in fact, country people and country neighbor- hoods differ more from each other than they do from city folk.

Assault on Gus Iticdcrich Is Ex-
 plained By TT. Cataldo.

Editor Herald:
 Will you kindly publish in your well known Herald the following in explanation of the news appearing in your newspaper Friday night, con- taining the assault on a certain Gus Riederich?
 You printed the news and the pub- lie read it and the same public, or part of 1t, may condemn the man who struck the said Riederich in a public thoroughfare, in front of an officer. But if the public will con- sider the circumstances 1t will cer- tainly modify it's opinion.
 I did not strike Mr. Riederich with my fist but gave him q good slap in his face and not because l am used to doing such things but because the man tried to ruin my reputation and 1t was my duty to safeguard and de- fend my honor. And to that part Of the public who still thinks that my act was not that of gentleman l call their kind attention on the same cases happening throughout the ciril- ized world among people of the best social class who, to defend their hon. such acts but in the meantime per- very nose of the law which condemns such act but in the meantime permits nits them.

LETTER FROM MEXICO.

In another column of the Herald to-
 day can be found a communication
 from a planter in Mexico who has
 been practically obliged to abandon
 his property in that country and flee for his life, the government in this country giving Americans no protec- ton either for themselves individually or for their possessions. The letter reads altogether differently from the newspaper accounts of the conditions in Mexico, and the question may be very properly asked what this country is doing for the protection of its peo- pie in that disturbed country.
 It does not seem as If the efforts toward peace are sufficient to prevent the government from protectins Americans and, as 1t has the troops there ready and no doubt willing to give this protection, 1t is quite perti- nent to ask why it is not done. It Is no small matter to have men who have spent all their lives in one pur- 6ulJ CO Uc COIIp0ll6u IO SlVc It up Uc~ cause of intervention which did not intervene to such an extent as to pro- tect it's own people. Americans in Mexico surely have grievance against the government in this coun- try for neglect in not doing that which 1t should do and which 1t has the means at hand to do If there were the right disposition to do it.
 The Herald correspondent gives plain account of how affairs are being in Mexico and they are in> teresting to say the least, and there are such we'll aimed shafts at the ad- that there can be no mis- taking their meaning. It is very evt-, dent that those who know best what is going on down there are those who have been making their home there, who have been deprived of their hold ings and who have also been deprived of the protection which is due them from their own country. That sounds but it appears to be true.

The Vanished Joys. (Detroit Free Press.)

It's only in your dreamin' that tho
 years of long ago Retain the charm an sweetness an
 the joy you used to know, It's only in the smoke clouds that
 are fioatin' round your head That you ever see the beauty of the
 lanes you used to tread You can't go back an claim 1t once
 you've turned an journeyed on, For there's always something missin'
 that you sigh to look upon. Tn your dreamin' you can see 'em-
 all the boys an girls you knew With their checks as red as roses an
 their sparklin' eyes of blue, You can puff your pipe an join 'em
 in the games they used t play, An every field an lanes the same as
 when you went away. But disappointments wait you when
 you turn an wander back For the joys that you are seekin' all
 the old haunts seem to lack. The little village isn't what you pic
 tured in your dream, And strangers boys are fshin' in
 your place beside the stream: HHu SoiHStHiIS, IOo, ls IHisSlUB, ITOHl
 the lanes you used to tread. And you find the friends you're seekin'
 in the Meadow of the Dead, There are youngsters gayly romping
 where you often used to play But they're different, Oh, so different,
 to the boys of yesterday. The old familiar swimmin' hole has
 lost the touch of charm That your dreamin' seemed to picture,
 an there's somethin' bout the
 farm
 With it's hollyhocks an roses that
 seems whisperin' to you That it misses mothers gentle hands that years ago 1t knew: Oh it's only in your dreamin' that the joys of youth remain. For always when you wander back. the search for 'em is vain.

ought to know better allow their children to take the wheel. This
 phase of devil-wagoning may get an airing now that an accident has come locally with a 16-years-old boy run ming machine in q dangerous place. If the auto-busses continue to follow the street cars on the village streets, sniping passengers at every crossing, darting about in front and alongside of the electric cars, as terriers after lot of confused rats, it will be as much as life is worth to attempt to drive horse on the village streets and keep the right side of the road. Coming up the avenue, meeting both street cars and busses, the most se- date horse will become bewildered at the new order of street travel. The autos in their endeavor to hug the car tracks drive teams in front of the coming street cars or compel an un- lawful passage to the left, to again run the chance of being run into by another auto. By and by the avenue will be surely safe only when if is roped off and announcements put up that the devil cars have the only rights there-the street cars by suf- ferance of pair of rails and some weight

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF DIS-
 TRESS.

There is no clearer evidence of the application of the law of supply and demand than Is now being made in Salem, which has suffered recently from serious confagration, render ing thousands of people homeless. Those who were fortunate enough to save their buildings have raised their rents and as the people have no other place to go they must pay the price demanded or sleep in the open air. And to add to the discomforrs of the situation, merchants have increased the price of their wares and people are practically compelled to pay what is demanded or suffer. This is the natural inclination of people who want to acquire money as rapidly as possible, even though to do so adds to the suffering and inconvenience of others
 There is measure before the Mas. sachusetts legislature known as the homestead bill, and the labor organ. nations in the immediate vicinity are urging its passage with the hope that 1t will put a stop to the extortion in Salem, but some appear to be of the opinion that such a bill cannot be passed without an amendment to the constitution. It would seem, however, as if the house owners of Salem, who are known to about every one else in the city, would not care to add to the sufferings of others by demanding the pound of flesh from them, but would rather pursue the policy of live and let live until at least the distressing conditions of the present have been removed and the people of that blighted city have had ah opportun- ity to recover from the fire and its unhappy results. But this Is another Illustration of the desire of people to make money on the distress of others. These things will happen, in fact they do happen whenever the oppor- tunity presents itself, but in this case, it is to be regretted. The fund for the relief of the Salem sufferers now amounts to approximately $4OO,00O.

The "Darc-devil Wagon"


 An insurance adjuster made a re- mark the other day that the public would be astonished at the number or automobile accidents occurring daily. many of minor importance, but suf- ficient to demand damages so as to get even with an insurance policy. It Is a continuous bump all day long on the road, and the drivers grow more careless day by day as they grow more insolent. Seventy-hve per cent of auto-drivcrs now pay no heed to team, and the horse must go to the gutter or run the chance Of being killed. The reason Is not far to seek. The country Is full of secondhand machines costing from $50 to S2oo apiece, owned and driven by men often drunk, and always insolent, who couldn't get trusted with a rig from any decent livery stable. On Me- mortal day a fellow as drunk as lord went through this village with his feet over the dash, his hat over his eyes, the machine wandering from side to side of the road, in response to his drunken brain. A few minutes later a big load of good d-natured trunks aboard n thrashing machine of the vintage of the '90s. tried to pass a team from the rear on the Montague City road, but the landscape tumbled about so much that the tipsy driver discreetly waited till he got more sea-room.

An Indiana Pioneer.
Indianapolis. News.)

With the death of every pioneer this age is losing touch with that
 period which saw the middle west emerge from the wilderness. Because we have the things which much older communities enjoy and esteem as the marks of civilization the younger generation may feel that the Missis- sippf valley is no longer virgin terri tory. Perhaps 1t is not, but it's be- ginnings and latest developments can be spanned by the lives of few men still known among us. One of these, Brazillia M. Blount, has just passed away at the age of ,eighty-si years. He helped to drive his fathers cattle over a dim trail from Ohio into In- diana. He saw the first turnpikes, the first railroad and the first canals built in this part of the country. He att tended Indiana university when it was a small institution and when higher education was not within easy reach. He received degree from Butler college, with which later he became identified for many years as direc- tor and also for long time as pres- ident of the board of directors. All the years of his mature life he preached and taught. For sixty odd years he came and went before the public. He was one of the early set- tiers of Irvington and in serene, but not inactive, old age he passed away in the house which he built and where he lived. Of such stock as he were the conquerors of the west And not merely were they the conquerors of the physical aspects of a new coun- try, but they brought the school teacher, the preacher, the con- stancy of high purpose and the open mind with them. 1t was great and all honor is due them.

Special to New Haven Union.)
 The statement has been made somewhat carelessly, that there Is an alliance between Senator George M. Landers and Congressman Bryan F. Mahan to control the next democratic state convention. The statement can be denied. and without the slightest qualification, on the best possible authority. The two gentlemen are very friendly in their personal rela- tions and they are neighbors in the same delightful community. It would
 not, perhaps, be an exaggeration to say that there Is an entente cordiale between them. There Is nothing more reasonable than that there should De. But the understanding Is far from being an alliance or even an approach to one. They wish each other well in their political aspirations, but the success of one is in no way depend- ent on the friendship of the other. It would give Senator Landers delight to see his neighbor one of the rep resentatives of the state in the senate of the United States, and the congress- man would smile his pleasantest of smiles if one of the results of the contest next November was the elec- tion of Senator Landers to the chair of chief executive of the state. It is no longer denied that MT. Mahan is candidate for the democratic nom- ination for the United States senate, and 1t Is admitted that Mir. Landers is in the race for the nomination for governor. But 1t is noticed through out the state that the friends of one are not in every instance the friends of the other, and there are some conspicuous instances of this fact. m Hartford county~~there are Landers men ,who do not favor the nomina- tion of Mahan and there are supports CTS of Mahan who do not conceal theara hostility to Landers. 1t is quite pos.3 sible that as the campaign for tho nomination for governor and United] States senator progresses the eau didacy may see mutual advantage m a closer alliance than what exists at the present time. But just now each Is pursuing his own canvass without being hampered or benefited, as the case might be, by the candidacy of the other.
