Lincoln was now forced to kick and

HARD, FAST CLEAN GAME.

Knowing that much OF the future
Of both teams depended on this game
each side fought hard, but tho game
was as clean q game as any that has
been played on the Hampton Institute
grounds.
The fine spirit and playing Of Capt.
Barbour was excellent, as was the
playing Of Archer.
The Hampton team has improved
greatly since the Virginia Union
University game. The whole Hampton
team played like veterans.
The work OF Paxton and Brooks on
the ends was excellent, as was SON.
erville's at tackle.
The entire backfield was excellent,
Harvey and Rigney playing in old
time form. Owl and Wood showed I'm
usual possibilities.
The lineup was as follows:
Hampton--7 Lincoln %

Thousands Of colorcd people in this
city have been made happy this week by
having observed a simple rule for say
ings. They paid on a little Christmas
Savings Club Card and they were just
as happy getting what was due them
without interest as some of them we're
who drew what was coming to them with
interest. They have learned the lesson
of thrift and they now realize from prac-
teal experience that it brings its reward.
Those who tried saving money at
home, where they could get it when
needed had no money when the pinch
came this week and the snow was on
the ground Some folks try saving in
an old trunk. One of these kind of pco-
pie had man arrested for stealing the
money in the trunk bank, but he did not
get the money back. The person, who
stole it had spent it and the only salts
faction coming is his own punishment
Hiding money i'll a tree hollow, in
hole in the ground meets the same fate.
Patronze some bank, not a sand or an
ash bank, but a regularly Incorporated
institution and when Christmas comes
from year to year and the final Christmas
of old age is upon you, the result will be
as gratifying to you as drawing the
money on a Christmas Savings Club
this year.

FAST PLAYING.

Both Zines strengthened percepti-
bly, and the ball was kicked by both
sides several times before any gains
were made.
Lilcoln's right half back finally
got away for a Is yard end run. The
Penn boys were again forced to kick.
After plunging the line for a first
down, Hampton kicked the ball to
the center Of the field, and the first
quarter ended with no scoring.

MORE BONDS, LESS BLOOD

The relation of the sale of Liberty
bonds to the ending of the war with
out serious loss of American lives is
a phase of the subject that is not SUI
ficiently appreciated by many people.
Plenty of money means victory with
out the death of so many American
boys.
Bennington alone now has more
than $50 young men in the army and
every home is either directly or in
directly concerned. The war can
not be fought without men. Neither
can 1t be fought without money and
the money will enable the work to
be done with the least sacrifice.
The Liberty Loan committee OF
New York City states the case as
follows:
During the first year of the war
the taking of German trench cost
endless lives The fields of France
were soaked with the blood OF
French and British soldiers.
+ VAST week d wounded officer in
New York described his part in
Haig's advance His regiment took
German trench without losing a
single life. The German trench
was demolished.
These are simple facts. Yet they
are facts which go straight to the
hearts of the men and women of the
United States whose boys are going
into the trenches during the mex,
few months.
These facts do not constitute an
appeal. They simply express the
emotion of the human heart-the
love of sons and husbands and
brothers
"The bravery of men, the offer OF
their lives-is the great glory of man
hood today. But the saving of these
men from unnecessary risk is the
triumph OF modern science and in,
vention.
This is the whole story. Let us
give our men the most wonderfully
complete protection that the genius
and power of united America can de,
wise. Guns and shells save lives
Liberty Bonds provide the guns and
shells. Is there anywhere in this
great, young nation man or woman
or child with heart so cold as to
hesitate? Where the choice is clear
between lending our money to our
Government and permitting one un
necessary drop of blood to be shed
by our boys in France-When it is
bonds or blood-who will deny we
will take three. FIVE, yes, fifty billions
of bonds if necessary?
go to your bank today and put
every dollar you can spare at work
saving lives and bringing those boys
home alive and victorious

Poor Road Labor Expensive.

"One reason why road building is
so expensive in Massachusetts was
brought forcibly to the attention of
the writer few days ago While OH
the road between Pittsfield and
Springfield he noted a large force of
men supposedly employed by the
Massachusetts highway commission
to make needed repairs on this much
travelled highway. They were spread
along a considerable distance and,
out of the whole number, only two
were actually working. The others
were sitting beside the road smoking
or standing in groups visiting The
time was about nine o'clock in the
forenoon when the men ought not 10
have been so tired, as to need q
rest. Bennington Banner
Surely the Banner. does not think
1t Is necessary to go into a neigh Dor
ing State to get an example OF lost
motion in road construction. A SINH
lar experience can be recounted for
Vermont. Recently, quite recently,
the writer was going between Rut-
land and Springfield by automobile.
Road work of quite an extensive ma
ture was being done at one place,
and not more than 80 per cent, of the
workmen were on their feet ard at
their tasks. Labor 80 per cent. pro,
ductive isn't very efficient and is ex-
pensive. Then, again, in some towns
and cities 1t would seem that the
manpower for street work was culled
from the human scrap pile, sort of
a pension system. Because of the
comparatively limited sums that are
available for highway and street
work in Vermont it is almost lesir-
able and essential that labor give an
adequate return for its wage.-St. AL

Paying Our State Soldiers.

It is really scandalous situation
If our Vermont guardsmen, mustered
into the national army, have been
obliged to go overseas without the
state pay which the legislature voted.
Is Explanations don't get us any furth-
er forward, and The Herald does not
agree that it is nobody's fault Ger
tainly it would seem TO have been a
simple matter for the former regi-
mental officers to have checked up
their men,, wherever they were finally,
stationed, and to have made report
to the Acknowledgement or the gov
ernor SO that the pay-rolls could have
been made up in Montpelier and
drafts sent out for the back-pay.
Blame will also attach to the new
officers of the Vermonters, who, very
evidently, have not taken enough in
terest in their men to make out their
state pay-rolls and send them in to
