1t is an unfortunate truth that there
are some of the golfing clan who re-
quire alcoholic stimulus to their game.
4 story is told Of one who was playing
a round recently equipped with pint
flask. At the rate of sip hole, the
fire water was about gone when he
propelled one from the eighth tee, a
145 yard hole. AS the player neared
the green in an unsteady fashion, his
caddie rushed up to him.
1--WE found the ball. I've found it. =
excitedly exclaimed the boy. Say,
Just c'm have a look at it,
He led the golfer to the hole. pointed
into the cup and exclaimed: There it
is right in the holei"
Leaning over. rather unsteadily, the
player saw through slightly blurred
vision, the shining white ball.
''Thash right, m'boy; y're right, he
mumbled She's in the hole. Now,
whatcha know about that for luck?
Gimme my niblick."
Having lost out with Champion Jess
Willard, Tom Jones has taken another
boxer under his management. The
latter is Sailor Friedman, a Chicago
lightweight, whom Jones expects to de-
velop into another champion. Jones
has had remarkable success with the
men he has handled, three Of them
winning titles while under his wing.
He guided Billy Papke into the middle
weight throne, Ad Wolgast into the
lightweight seat of honor and helped
place the crown on Jess Willard S

whether luck or ability accounts for
Jones remarkable success in picking
winners.
Just five year ago John T. Richards,

TWO QUAKERS
BACK IN CAME
WITH LuTHERANS
Gordon and Brown Will Be
Able to Play Against Wit
tenberg Saturday.

With the announcement that Paul
Gordon. star tackle, will be able to
play against Wittenberg. Earlham col
lege football prospects became consid-
erably brighter Thusrday evening.
Gordon was declared ineligible on
account of studies at the first of the
week. but he has made up the work
and will be able to enter the Witten-
berg contest. Gordon's place on the
team is one that would have been
hard to fill, as there are no members
on the squad that are capable to fill
ing the hole in the line, and when his
ineligibility became known supporters
of the Quaker eleven felt that the Wit
tenberg game was lost.
With hard knockout on Reid field
Thursday night, in which number of
new plays that promise to battle the
Lutherans were tried out, Coach Lew
isN completed the practice for the
game Saturday afternoon.
n. Mills Unable to Play
The Quakers will be handicapped,
however, by the absence of Howard
Mills from the end of the line and Jes-
sup from the backHeld. Mills was
given badly wrenched knee In the
DePauw game and will not be able to
enter the Wittenberg game. His place
will be filled by his brother Sumner,
who has been working with the scrubs
for the greater part of the season.
The loss Of Jessup will be partially
overcome by the return of Harold
Brown to the game. Brown has been
laid up for two weeks with a bad
ankle, but he will be able to resume

Will Play Against
Knightstown Five

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, Nov. o.
Cambridge City High school basket,
ball team will play Knightstown High
school here Friday night. In spite OF
the fact that the c. c.. five was de.
feated by Knightstown last year, they
are ready to come back and promise
to even the score.
The Cambridge City squad has been
handicapped somewhat this week by
the absence of Coach Lockwood, who
has been out Of the game on account
of an operation.
The lineup for Cambridge City will
include Winters, Sewers and Marsor
and Frohnapfel, forwards; Daniels
center; Dolan and Furgason, guards.

contest against the Knightstown
girls team.

Manager Nohr has placed on the
Richmond list the strongest teams in
the state. and the prowess of the Rich
mond five will be determined long be.
fore they enter the state and district
tournaments next spring. Although
not usually classed as first rate
team, Winchester performance
against FIT Wayne last week puts 1t
in a position to claim respect from
the Richmond fans, and the game FRI
day night promises to be closely con-
tested.
Winchester Team Heavy.
Winchester's team is made up Of
men that are much heavier than most
of the players on the r. H. IS. squad
and the results OF Friday nights con.
test will depend largely on the speed
shown by the two teams.
But R. HIS. may we'll stand for Rich
mond's High Speed team as well as
High school, for the squad has shown
unusual speed in practice and their
lack of weight will be made up by
their fast playing on the floor and ac-
curate basket throwing.
At center in the opening game, Shel
Simmons, captain of the team, is the
only man eligible. Simmons, however,
is we'll able to hold down the position.
He is an accurate basket thrower, and
although he lacks the ability for de-
fensive play shown by Parker last
year, the plays of the team have been
so arranged that Simmons will be able
to play to the best advantage to the
team.
Varsity Squad Announced.
VanAllen and Robinson, with a
chance for Stegman and Gardner, have
been named by Coach Mullins as the
men that will probably start the game
at forward Both of these men are

Beginning with our first issue in

all display advertisements for the
front page of our paper.
There is no particular reason, "a
side from the typographical appear
aNce, for this change, but we think
our readers and advertisers will a
gree this is sufficient.
We further wish to announce that
our issue of Christmas week will be
less than the regular twelve pages,

To all of our advertisers and sub
scribers we wish Merry Christmas

The Fulton County Exemption
Board has been bodily fired by order
of President Wilson. There was I'M
doubted proof of favoritism shown,
and the action of the President will
be commended by all right minded
citizens.
The prime purpose of the draft
law was to make sure that every mao
did his duty by the government,
whether the son of the most wealthy
citizen, or the son of the humblest.
Glass or race was to cut no figure in
the selection, and its strongest fea-
ture was it's absolute impartiality.
Equal rights to all, special priyi-
lege to none, is the only rule proper
in such matters. In all cases where
favoritism is practiced It should be
exposed and punished.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

If YOU were walking down the
street late some evening, and found
a small child crying in the dark, what
would you do?
IL you found that the child was
cold and hungry, and had no father
or mother, or home, what would you
do?
If you cared for its wants tenn
porarily, and then sent it to some
charitable institution to be cared for,
would your own responsibility cease?
If that charitable institution had
three hundred such little children. to
feed, clothe and provide for daily,
and had not the means with which
to do it, what would you do?
If you were tn manager of such
institution and the food supply rar
low, would you discharge some OF
them because of hard times? If vol
were the manager, what would you
do?
If you have the means to relieve
want and suffering that is brought to
our attention, if you have not only
the necessaries of life, but the luxu-
ries as well, and then you ''pass by
on the other side," all the honor and
wealth that men can bestow upon
you, will not change your status in
the book of the recording angel where
it will be written in the one word.
Failure"
Throughout our land today are
many such institutions, whose pathet-
ic appeals for help to save the little
ones should not go unanswered.
Just reflect for moment upon
the great responsibility of the mana,
ger of one of these, and put yourself
in his place, as he looks each day
into the innocent faces of these lit
tie children. and sees the bread grow
ing shorter, and the fuel insufficient
to keep out the cold, and finds fund.-
exhausted.
If you were in his place, just whaC
would you do?
There are such institutions, you can
find them if you ask.

FAKERS AND BLUE SKY STOCK
SALES

Hardly week passes but we are
the recipients of some sort of pro-
position from some swindling faker,
who wishes us to exploit the people
of our county for his benefit, and
incidentally let US share in small
percentage of the loot. If you will
just give proper prominence in our
columns to the merits 90 of the
"Sure Pop Get Rich Scheme" which
will pay at least 600 per cent per
year on your investment, asd which
is on a basis as solid as the Rock of
Gibraltar, or Stone Mountain either,
why we will be given ten per cent OF
all stock sales made in Cobb Coun-
ty. Of course if we believed any of
this, all we would have to do would
be to sell out the paper, and buy stock
in the "Sure Pop" company.
They never expect US to believe
it. They only expect us to make our
subscribers believe it, for the sake Of
the little bride they offer, and wheth-
err the bride is little or big does
not interest US, for we are looking
to our own home folks, subscribers
and advertisers, for support of our
paper.
Many states have passed what are
called Blue Sky laws, so called by
reason of the fact that they prohibit
the sale of stocks which have no
more value than would the title to
an acre of Blue Sky have.
If newspapers had always been
careful about the character of their
advertisers, and had been honest in
the exposure of takers, these laws
would have been unnecessary.

PRESENTS IN SCHOOL PROHI
BITED

Professor w. T. Dumas, Superinten-
dant of the public school of Mariet-
ia, announced in the school Tuesday
morning that no child would be per-
mitted to bring to school any Christ
mas presents for the teachers, nor
would they be permitted to solicit
subscriptions for this purpose while
at school. He stated that the prac-
tice of bringing Christmas presents
to the teachers had a tendency to
embarrass children who were not able
to give presents.
Mr.. Dumas position in this matter
is thoroughly right and commenda-
bic.
Every school in the county and
state should follow the example set
by him.

tons, the increase in consumption
caused by the war is 100, 100000
