ATHLETES FORM
AN ASSOCIATION
High School Students Perfect
Plans for Year

Members of the faculty and students
OF the Hancock high school held an inn
portant meeting yesterday afternoon
when the organization OF an athletic
association was perfected and the fol-
lowing officers were elected:
President--Richard Martin.
Vice president-Edward Merke.
Treasurer-John Hosking.
Harry Fisher.
The aim OF the organization will be
to further the interest in athletics and
other activities IN the high school. In
past years it has been the custom to
form an athletic association at the be-
ginning Of the school year but it has
never been as successful as desired.
This year ii is expected the organiZa %
ton will be a success in every respect
and every student and the instructors
as well, have pledged their support to
the association. To date 207 teachers
and students are enrolled as charter
members while it is likely this mem
bership will be increased to $50 before
a short time.
one OF the propositions that has
confronted the association Of former
years was the lack Of funds. This year
the organization will start with a tidy
sum that was secured from athletic
events i'm the past year and the mem
bership dues and other means Of rails
ing money will place the treasury on
"A firm basis.
Football Schedule Announced.

JEWISH new YEAR WILL
BEGIN ON SUNDAY, SEPT. 20
RoSH hASHANAH WILL USHER
IN YEAR 5675 ON HEBREW
CA LEI D r.

The feast of Rosh Hashanah, or New
Years day. which inaugurates the most
solemn season or the Jewish religious
year, will begin this year on Sunday
evening, Sept 20. The reformed Jews
observe but one day, while the feast
is celebrated for two days by the or
thodox Jews Of the world.
Rosh Hashanah, which is New Years
day, this wall opens the year 5675 for
the jewish race. Following Rosh
Hashanah comes Yom Kippur, or the
Day Of Atonement, the hottest day of
the year. which falls on Sept 80 and
then lastly, Succotl, or the Feast Of
Tabernacres, which starts on oct. 4
and continues for eight days.
Observance Commanded.
The observance OF New Years day
as a holy season is commanded in two
passages Of the Five Books of Moses.
namely Leviticus xiii, "a and 25 and
numbers xxx, /. In neither passage
is there any specific command as To
how the day is to be observed beyond
the injunctions to blow the trumpet,
gage in no servile occupation.
1t is 10 be noted that this day is
the first day Of the seventh month or
the day OF the new moon of that
month. The new moon was observed
as a holy season by the Jews Of old;
the seventh month was a particularly
holy month, as the seventh day was
no hp1,s 1oN pf utaglys hanga "a
new moon OF the seven month was
invested with "A significance of far
holier import than the other new moon
days of the year. AS in all holy sea-
sons no servile work, no gainful occu-
patton was 10 be followed.
Trumpet Calls People.
The injunction to blow the trumpet
on this day was to call the people to
remembrance before the Lord. In the
course of time, this ceremony Of blow
ing the shofar became the central fea-
ture of the elaborate religious service
conducted on the day. Just as the sho-
far called the people to remembrance
before the Lord, so also were it's
sounds TO arouse the people TO their
SHORTCOMINGS anu " llltli hulltS III
which they may have failed. The day
is called on this account Yom Hazik-
karon-"The Day of Memorial"
Another idea which in time came TO
he associated with the day was that
on this day God weighed mems actions
i'm the scale Of justice. For this rea-
son another designation of the day is
Yom Hoddin The Day Of Judgment"
The days intervening between New
Years Day and the Day of Atonement
are called THE Ten Days Of Peni-
tence." during which the opportunity
is had to reflect finally on ana repair
the wrongs done during the year; If
the repentance is sincere. forgiveness
is gained on the eliminating day OF
the holy season The Day Of Atone
ment"
The New Years day i'm the passing
OF the centuries has thus come to en-
body the great religious ideas Of di-
vine justice and human responsibility.
AS the beginning Of the Jewish reli-
gious year it emphasizes the religious
un!queness OF the Jewish people, the
servant of the one God, the priest of
humanity

TEA MERCHANT
SEES CHANCE
FOR The u. s.
v. l. Tissera Predicts an Era of
Prosperity Is Coming

According to V. l.. Tissera, Chicago
tea agent and the only Ceylonian citi-
| zen Of the United States, the European
war presents to the United States an
opportunity to better conditions in this
country Mr.. Tissera is one of the
best known statesmen that visit the
copper country and since the European
conflict began he has been a close fol-
lower of every development. Mr.. Tis-
sera has been fishing at Huron Bay for
the past few days and returned yester-
day. He decided to rest before resum-
ing his duties and was in the right
mood for a discussion
The majority of the people I'm this
district will contradict your state
ment," said reporter for The News,
FOR at present the conditions existing
almost everywhere are any but the best
and the prices OF goods are soaring
every day. This surely cannot mean
better conditions. at least not until the
war is concluded at any rate.
THAT probably is the general trend
OF opinion" continued Mr.. Tissera 'but
by studying the various phases OF the
situation you can easily see that my
statement is correct In the first place
the many products obtained in Europe
can be secured in the United States but
as it has always been the custom to
have them imported there never has
been an~attempt made to get them at
home. Then again the manufacturers
OF this country especially those manu-
facturers Of electrical apparatus and
goods OF this variety will now have an
opportunity to supply the consumers Of
the world. This is fact and the fol-
lowers OF such condition will verify
my statement. Now is the time for the
larger manufacturers, in fact the lead
ers Of industry Of the United States, to
cooperate and conditions in this coun-
try will be better than they have ever
been before. Cooperation is all that
is necessary and | am certain that it
will not be long before the leaders will
grasp the situation and follow this
plan.
Some people probably will say:
money is scarce and nothing can be
done without money This is not the
right light to look at the matter for
things have been done without money
and can be done again. When the
United States fought England to gain
her freedom money was certainly IA
scarcity but just see what the fathers
OF our country did to n nation that was
far superior in strength and also a ma
tion that had the backing Of the treas
ury OF the king. Money is not all that
counts in prosperity; brains added to
a little forethought go a long ways. OF
course some money is necessary but
money conditions are not az bad in the
United States today as most people
think.
The chance OF "A lifetime is present
ed today and probably will be present
ed for some time The fighting ma
lions will need provisions and equip
ment to continue the struggle The
first part gives the farmers a chance
for they can supply the provisions. The
latter gives the manufacturers
chance for they can supply the equip
ment. II is time for the people OF the
United states to wake up to the pos
sibiities presented and get busy"
