BASKETBALL SERIES
FOR F.H.S AND FMS.
Three Games Will be Play
ed Between the Teams
This Season.

Arrangements have been completed
by the Normal and High schol man
agements to have the two local teams
play series Of three basketball
games during the coming season.
The dates have not been definitely
decided upon and will be announced
later.
For several years the High school
and the Normal team did not meet,
last year playing two games with the
High school victorious in each. The
series Of games this year will serve
asa means OF connecting the athletic
relationship OF the two schools not
only for the fiscal year, but for ath.
letic meets in years to come.
There' doubtless is a stronger rival
ry between the Normal and the High
school than any other two local
teams that could be selected.

FAMOUS THROWS
MADE By lee KING
Pittsburgh Baseball Writer
Talks About Monongah
Lad.

y
Charles S. Doyle in his "Touch Of
Barney" column in the Pittsburgh
Gazette Times. this morning had the
following to say:
Touching on the subject of great
throwing arms in the Quilted without
referring to Lee King would be a Sc
eious offense against ethics OF the
Commonwealth Of West Virginia, or.
more specifically, the Fairmont dis
trict.
The healthy boy from the coal
fields In one season was the central
character in enough side-splitting in
cidents to fill a book, but his wonder
full native ability was just as promi-
nent.

after Intentionally loafing on a single.
Chase Is one OF the smartest veterans
In tire game, but his wit was baffled
by the country boys smartness and
strong arm.
Major league managers might fine
q boz for a play OF this kind, but any
time the Monongah youth resorted to
The dangerous practice he was more
than half sure of his ground.
Perhaps the greatest throw King
made all summer did not bring him
at assist which he earned.
: Walter Schmidt was working be-
hind the bat for the Pirates at Oak

situation was not ordinary owing to
Lees arm.
The youngster backed up cautious
ly, made the catch and in moment
the ball was burning the air on its
way to the home plate.
Schmidt saw the throw was coming
as straight as an arrow and set him
self for close play. The ball struck
the ground just about the right spot
for bounding throw, but the bound
skidded high.
The active Pirate catcher. who is
an adept at diving putouts, straight
ened up like flash, caught the ball
and dove for the flying feet of the
runner.
Hank o'Day was umpiring, and his
decision indicated that the runner
was safe. which appeared to be just,
but the spikes of the runner had nip

fore the ytouched the rubber.
Schmidt exhibited his bleeding
hand as proof that he had not missed
the runner. o'Day had given his rul-

Schmidt carried the mark. for a
week or SO. He insisted that the
throw from the oetGeld was one of
the greatest he had ever seen.

Revival Work"

Was the subject OF Pastor w. A. Boyd's
sermon on Sunday morning in Emmanuel
Church. He said in part, that the pres
ent condition OF the to ~,nspeople and Their
relation to the municipal, social aud re-
ligious life OF the community was foreseen
by st. Paul A. d. IS, and prOphecied by
him in his second letter to Timothy, Sd
chapter, l-5.
''Ih the last days p~erilOus times shall
come. Men shall be lovers Of their W
selves, covetous, boosters. blasphemers,
disobedinet to parents, nnthankful, un'
holy, without natural affection, truce
breakers, false aecusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers OF those that are good,
traitors, heady, highminded, lover oil
pleasure more than lovers OF God, having
a form of goodness but denying the pow
er thereof"
Being selfish, self-centred, self-induced,
everything is made to bend your way by
your grasping, cankeripg spirit Of greed.
The club, the lodge, the social, the home,
the business is given first place III youI
life. God will smite you with his curse
unless you reform. The church must put
God first. He'll is actual, hell is prepared
for the Devil, but unless you repent of
your sins God will cast you into he'll.
Christians, put on the zeal OF the
Lord. Stop lying about people. 80 pay
your debts. Go speak to your enemies if
you want God to bless you. Go save some
boy or girl from sin. 1t is our part now
to play the missionary. Let's pray and
labor to send some boy back home to his
father saved from hell and cleaned mp for
God"

FIRM GROUND FOR PLANTING
Plants in Loose Soil Cannot Draw suf-
ficient Moisture to Make Them
Thrive Well.

Ground for planting. whether seeds,
plants or trees. should be fairly firm.
Too often the garden is plowcd up late
and the seeds planted in the loose soil
without giving it any firming, and then
the seeds are blamed because they do
not gern1nate. Plants set in such
ground are often supposed to be poor
ly rooted or have low vitality. when i'm
reality neither seeds nor plants can
draw sufficient moisture from the
loose ground to make them grow. A
garden roller is as necessary as a plow
If the pillow is used late.
III the ground is plowrd early enough
so it can settle well before being
planted and then lightly cultivated on
the surface to keep the weeds down
and form :: dust mulch until it is plant
ed, both seeds and plants will start
much better and grow faster. Deep
fall blowing, with the surface left
rough, and then light culture before
planting in the spring. is the ideal
method. provided you do not want to
give it two or three plowings during
the winter, with light applications of
manure.

Your HEALTH
and the WAR
By DR.. SAMUEL. c. DIXON
CommissioRer Of Health Of Pennsylvania

Since we are at war, let us have the
lesson of the tremendous bearing Of
health problems on our armies in
camp and our citizens ut home we'll
learned. so that we may not have to
learn it by bitter and calamitous ex-
perience. 1t would seem to be late
date to point out the almost self-evi-
dent fact that sickness will decrease
the national efficiency by just so
much. whether it be among soldiers
or noncombatants, but the general
public does not give enough attention
to this aspect of wars demands. the
accent being placed on more spectac-
ular elements of preparedness.
Each individual must consider him
Self unit of our great population to
be kept able to meet whatever comes
along. If there was over Il time when
the individual had the duty of taking
thought of how he could keep in good
health, it is now.
One Of the first clements of the
health of 81 nation ut war--or at peace,
for that mattcr-is it's food. 1t cannot
be healthy an! strong without good
food, and plenty of it. Therefore az
ricrlture and gardening must lie intel
ligently and intcnsivrly stimulated,
so that larger crops shall be brought
forth.
The housewives task will he to
economic the food supply and cook 1t
With skill. so as to make her meals
tasty and digestihle
The streams from which our tlomcs-
tic water supply comes should he care
fully guarded against pollution, 50
that communities shall not run the
risk Of being infected with some
deadly disease.
Vaccination against typhoid is a
valuable step in preparedness under
conditions as they are ut present.
The time has come to consider these
matters in spirit of patriotism. 1t
is the duty of every citizen to attain
physical fitness, and Of the people as a
whole, to take measures for the in
creased production of food materials.
WantOn destruction of food is an
injury to our country Just as positive
ly as destruction of munitions or arms,
for in the last analysis a nation that
Is well fed is the nation that will pre-
vail. These are matters already claim
ing the attention of the federal gov
ernment.
Hand to hand with the mobilization
Of factories and munitions must 20
the mobilization of agricultural prod
ucts, the planting of as many acres
Of land as possible with grain and veg
etablcs. and the distribution of the
crops in the most economical way.

Campaign for Improvement
OF Health Among People of
Rural Districts Is Started

One of the most important conScr-
Walton campaigns undertaken in the
United States is that started by the
committee on health problems of the
National Council of Education, under
The guidance of DIR. Thomas ID. Wood.
professor of physical education in
IrachrrS' college, Columbia univer-
silly. The campaign has for its pur-
pose the Improvement of health in the
rural districts of the country.
After careful investigation, Doctor
Wood has found country school chill
irrn less healthy, on the average. than
rity children. The reasons he believes
To be largely found in careless disposal
If waste matter in the country, in con-
Eliminated water, in insufficient vcnti-
Iation, in unbalanced ratiOns, and III
failure to have children examined by
physicians and dentists.
Doctor Wood and his committee
purpose to remedy these conditions
through campaign of education in
the rural schools. The Improvement
IF conditions will he ACCOMPLISHED
through pointing out just what is
wrong with present modes of living,
In the cities health regulations have
been enforced largely through police
power. and are still ev;ldcd by some,
who do not realize the Importance of
sanitary conditions. In the country,
thinly settled as 1t is, the careful on
forcrment OF minute regulations would
be impossible. Improvement there will
come through education, and improve.
mrnt based on education is Il much
more settled, more beneficial matter
than Improvement based ON law.

Butter in Cold Storage.
Approximately one-tenth of the but.
ter received in the larger markets is
placed in cold storage, the bulletin

1t is pointed out by the specialists
that the establishment of brands is
essential for effective advertising,
craftsmanship is also Il vital factor in
successful market distribution. 1t is
highly important in marketing a
branded product that sanitary and
attractive package be used and that a
certain standard of quality in the
product be maintained.

USES FOR THE DISK HARROW
One OF Most Valuable Farm impIe.
ments-IndispensabIe in Preparing
Sod for Potatoes.

The disk harrow is one Of the most
valued implements on the farm. 1t is
almost Indispensable in the prepare
ton of sod ground for potatoes or
corn.
one of the most important uses Of
this implement is to break up the sur
face soil q few days in advance of the
pillow, so that capillary attraction of
moisture will be readily established
with tho subsoil.
1t etlcrtually seals the surface Of the

consequently plow easier in case a
