one Of the pfettieHt cames of the
season sill be played AZ Jungle Park
Friday afternoon when the wsxa-
haohie highs meet the Corsicana
highs
The waxahachIe highsi have had
hard luck the past week or two. Last
Friday they were rained out oud
could not play the Ennis team &C
cording 10 schedule II Is extremely
unfortunate that the game was not
played as Waxahachie reeded the
practice. Corsicana comes here with
a good record. having already won
two or three games this season. A
we'll known football player OF Wax
ahachie who saw them play last
week pronounced them the best
high school team in this part of
Texas. He reports that their forward
passes and end runs are equal to
those Of any junior collegelin Texas.
The squad averages 1876 ana Is un-
usually fast The quarterback is
one of the headiest youngsters that
has ever been on the Corsicana
team
Naxahachie highs are scrim-
maging each afternoon so as to get
the team in better condition than II
was VIXEN IL played Cleburne. The
green men are gradually all learn
ing the rudiments of football, but
they are not in the best of condi-
tion. Coach Landrum is rounding
his men in shape slowly. His idea
Is 10 perfect his team just enough
TO win each game as IL comes. BY
doing this his men will be in the
pink Of condition by the time they
meet Oak Cliff and sherman.
The rainy weather has been bad
this week on trailing Moreover sew
eral men are on the sick list. Wei
cher and Forrest are sick with Sc
we're colds. Finley suffering from a
sprained shoulder received last week
in training. Long Lanky Louis God
frey has been sick for several days.
Sawyers has so many bolts he is
unable to practice very effectively
Outside of this the squad is in fairly
good condition for this time of year.
The lineup for the game has not
yet been determined but viii prob
ably be different from that which
went against Cleburne. Floyd
Thompson will likely start in the
game as right half, Rutherford hay
ing been transferred TO right end.
The team as whole is fairly well
balanced and is expected to show
some Improvement in team work ov-
er the last game. James Dunaway
as, q recruit from the scrubs will
probably be given chance ut quar-
ter TO relieve Captain Forrest who,
on account of his recent illness, may
not have strength enough TO go
through the game. A number OF
recruits win be given chance in
this game so as to give all good
material chance to show what it
can do.
Ii YOU are lover of good, clean
football do not fail to see the game
Friday, October 20 Come out and
help your home team win this game
SO that it will be able TO defeat Oak

broader charity that consists in leni-

! tween this hall and the living room is
! cased. The entire side wall of the
house in the living room is occupied
by the fireplace and two bookcases.
A wide cased opening at the rear Of
! the living room leads to the dining
room. The Buffet in the latter room,
is built below four windows, in a

The sun parlor is five steps above

The opening on the kitchen side is

There are four bedrooms, all provided

All rooms on this floor are well lighted

Why They EIad Nc Pickles.

Rations in the southern navy were
mighty scarce in 1864. Coffee and
hardtack were the mainstays of Off
GERS and crews. The officers Of q
small gunboat discovered some un-
guarded federal stores and started to
appropriate them. They succeeded
only in getting a large bottle Of pickles.
when they were attacked by Union
troops. They ran to their small boat,
and made the gunboat in safety. All
that afternoon the officers thought of
these pickles, and how good they
would taste at evening mess. The
mess steward was a black field hand,
who knew little about anything but
"cohn pone." When the mess was an
nOunced that night all hands trooped
below in eager anticipation. The mess
table held only coffee and hardtack
no pickles in sight. The lieutenant
in command said to the steward:
Look here, Culpeper, what did you
do with those pickles? Why are they
not on the table?" "Pickrs? PickPs?
All don know muffin bout no pickis.
Suh." "Yes, you do. Don't you know
those small cucumbers in the glass Jar
that we got from the Yanks?" "Oh,
cewcumbehs? Yessir Ah knows bout
dem, but All done frowed um ovah-
bod; dey done turned sOwah."

TYPEWRITER IN FIRST PLACE
Was Actually Invented Before Anyone
Had Thought About the Mod
ern Steel Pen.

Long ago, when Romans and Greeks
wished to write, they used wax tablets
instead of paper, which they knew
nothing about, and their pen was
called a stylus. The stylus is a pen
Gil made Of iron or other metal, sharp
ut one end and blunt at the other. The
sharp end was used to scratch the
surface of the wax and the blunt end
was used as an eraser.
If you had lived in Olden times in
Egypt, probably you would have used
skins on which to write your letters.
At a later time, papyrus, or certain
kind of leaf, was used. The ink was
simply black paint, thinned out, and
the pen was brush. BY and by some
forgotten genius tried reed, which
was used instead.
Our great-grandfathers used quins
for pens. Goose qullls were mostly
used, and quilts Of crows feathers
We're for fine writing.
We have to 90 back only to 1920 to
see the manufacture of the first steel
pens. They were made in London,
and in the form of a tube, but now
they are rolled out of fine steel.
1t is a curious fact that the type
writer, which has so largely taken the
place Of the pen, actually was invent
ed before the steel pen. As early as
the year 1717 a typewriter was pat
ented in England, but it was not until
1929 that a practical machine was
made.
