of the Clarksburg team; Hoyt, last
year all-star center with Thomas:
Lashorn. the Piedmont star who has
averaged eight baskets per game this
season; Tenant, the FairYiew cap
tain; and Fuccy, the Weston star. New
men are very likely, however, to carry
away high honors. Previous to the
1915 games Hoyt had never been heard
OF and d. Martin was reckoned as only
an ordinary player. while Knight was
not expected to be the great factor for
his team that he proved to be. Rad
cliffe and Stark alone were in the
lImeIight before the games and many
others were supposed TO be stars but
failed to shine when tho big test came.
This year 1t will likely be tho same

created.

fully three times that many fans and
should rightly be termed the "tourna-

will gather at Grafton Thursday night
and Friday morning, Mariinsburg,

will be Joined at Tygarts Junction by
the Elkins and Thomas crowds. The
Baltimore and Ohio has made ample
provision for the accommodation OF
these teams and their supporters,
however, and 1t is thought that at no

the arrangements that have been COM
pleted looking toward getting all the
teams into Buckhannon on time.

OF Charleston, Buckhannon, Parkers-
burg OF Fairmont winning the laurelg.
None of these teams have played for n
week and their coaches will hold their
men in check so that they will toe Tile
mark for the first game in tho very
best of condition.
These four teams are strong moi only
on team work but on the strength ri
various individuals that make up their
lineups. Probably the most consnic.
unus Of these are Stark and d. Martin,
Of Charleston. both of whom were Sc

LOOKS FOR
YlCTORY FOR GERMANY
Tells Reichstag that Country Will

Assured

Berlin, (Vla London), Sept. o.
Germany will persevere until victory
is here, the Reichstag was told yes
terday by Chancellor Won Bethmann.
HollWeg, according to the full text OF
his speech which was published here
today. The chancellor declared that
this years harvest had made Ger
many's position much more secure
than was the case last year.
In his attack upon Great Britain he
declared that the country was break
ing one international law after anoth-
er and was above all Germany s
most egotistical, fercest and most
obstinate enemy"
"a German statesman" he said,' -
who would hesitate to use against
this enemy every available instrument
of battle that would really shorten
this war-such statesman should
be hanged"
The chancellor protested against re-
ports that for any reason whatever
all means of warfare were not being
used as fully as possible. He declined
! to enter into public discussion which
recently had arisen on this subject,
saying the times were too grave.
The chancellor sad that the Eng
lish starvation blockade had failed
and that the proyisionment Of the
German mutton had been improved by
the recent harvest.
Dr.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg ac-
knowle3ged the heroism with which
the German nation bears its burdens
of war and especially the heroism
with which our sons and brothers on
the front withstand the furious at
tacks of an enemy far superior in
number and projectiles. Every in the
world history has man seen anything
like this"
Continuing the chancellor said:
"Great tasks which await US (after
the war; in all domains of the State
and of social, economic and political
| life need all the vital solid forces OF
l.our nation
After the chancellor had concluded
there was long and generous applause.
After short discussion the Reich
stag adjourned.

AT UNUSUAL SPEED
Pest Said to Be Only FOrty-hVe
Miles West of the South Car

Clemson College, Sept. 2S.-There
is considerable speculation as to the
advance of the boil weevil toward
South Carolina. Prof. A. F. Conradi
81 i'd today thai the State crop pest
commission has kept in close touch
with the bell weevil situation and
that during the past two seasons the
pest had moved eastward at an un-
usual rate. There has been a con-
tinual eastward spread this season and
according to the latest report OF the
State entonoologist Of Georgia, which
has Just been received, the weevil has
betn found As miles west of the South
Carolina border. He thinks that in all
probability the pest will reach this
State by the end of this season.
Prof. Conrad says that the fail

weevils scatter just before going into

Braided Rivers.

A river not confined to a single chan
mel, but broken up into q number Of
channels. which in turn branch and
unite in a complex and confusing man
ner, is called a braided stream. It IS
caused by the slight fall Of the stream.
which prevents it from carrying away
all the sediment swept into it by It's
numerous tributaries.
This material chokes the stream and
forces it to spread into many shallow
and shifting channels, resembling tht
strands Of braid. A good example OF
this is Jefferson river. in Montana
