and Navy in Football Classic

the country, we're only waiting for the
whistle that will bring them together.
Official communications from both
field headquarters early today dripped
words OF confidence. Captain Weyand.
Of the Army sees nothing but victory
ahead. Captain Miles, of the sea
forces, realizing that his men are en-
tering the fray with the odds against
them, did not predict victory. but
promised that If the men of the Navy
show all they have. the army must
fall.
Probably never before in the history
OF service clashes. has New York en-
tertained such crowd Hotels are
jammed Fluttering in their Hobbies
and from the fronts of business
houses are the colors of the two
schools. An ordinary American with
out uniform. is about as popular as
an alarm clock. Last night the cafes
and restaurants we're brilliant with
uniformed officers and beautifully
gowned women Tonight, it will be
tho same. Admirals and commodores,
grown gray in service, mingled in
the hotels with veterans OF the army
and told the youngsters how it was
done in their day.
The Army will go into the game this
afternoon a strong favorite. Ten to
eight we're the prevailing odds during
the morning.

The next POULTRY SHOW

When the ninth annual show Of the
4 Diamond State Poultry Asso citation
opens in Turn Hall on December z,
/ the "quack, quack'' Of ducks promises
to be as loud as the cackle of the
chickens. For weeks the committee
has been debating the question, "ls a
duck a duck or poultry?" Dictionar-
les were consulted and 1t was agreed
that this book merely said Ducks
when domesticated were poultry
Poultry raisers in some instances
took. exception to this definition and
as one large duck fancier had ex-
pressed a willingness to compete for
some of the prizes II ducks were in
cluded IN competition, It was decided
to secure an experts opinion.
With the official definition at hand.
the executive committee which ex-
tended the time for the filing of en-
tries until tonight, is busy tabulat-
ing the entries, the duck fanciers
and the chicken raisers vieing with
one another in endeavoring to make
their displays the largest and best.
Judging from these entries the COM
ing show will be the best one ever
held here
An oddity was received yesterday in
the form OF tailless white Leghorn
pullet. This fowl will not be in COM
petition, however The large banner
advertising the coming show will be
extended across Market street within

MoocHERs HANGING AROUND
STATE CAPITOL.

Our attention has been repeatedly
called to the moochings of some curb
stone, jobless politicians at the State
Capitol. There are certain worthless,
joblesS, constituencies Negroes who
daily ply the trade at the State Capt.
tol constantly begging the successful
candidates for "a loan or a hand-out
to help reimburse them for money
they spent in the last election. The
Star severely condemns such unprin-
cipled methods of extortion and liv-
ing by the wits, and therefore warns
the public against these idle, unreli-
able, afraid-of-work political beggars.
The Star hopes that no politicians,
successful or unsuccessful, will pay
these political parasites any attention
and thus force them to go to work.
They are a disgrace to the honest,
hard-working, tax-paying citizen and
a blot upon our race. They stand in
the way for help in some worthy and
deserving cause. The Star again con-
demns the practice and brands these
fakirs as unworthy of belief by any
one. A beggar is beggar and po-
litical beggar is the worst kind of a
beggar.
