WnLISTON AND
DEVILS LAKE
TO End FIGHT
These Teams Will Decide
State High School
Championship.

Williston and Devils Lake high
school teams viii fight for the state
championship next week, either Fri
day or Saturday, as a result of the
outcome of two games played yester-
day, when Williston defeated James
town by a score of 1O2 to o and Devils
Lake defeated Grafton 70 to 0.
Williston cleaned the field with the
jamestown players. After the first
four minutes of the game Williston
began to score and from that time on
until the whistle blew the jamestown
men were showed from one end of
the field to the other and did not
score When the score came nea the
100; mark, wild shouts of make it a
hundred"> came from the spectators,
and just before the whistle blew a
touchdown made the Williston team
a score of 102 points.
The Williston team has been
coached during the practice this fall
by Joe Cutting, a Minnesota star
player last season. Scott and Brueg-
ger .made}use of the forward pass with
excellent results.
The game played at Devils Lake be-
tween the Devils Lake and Grafton
teams was very similar to the Willis
ton game. The Grafton men were
run over at every point Of the game
and Devils Lake finished with a score
of ~ to 0 score to her credit. Dur
ing the first quarter Of the game
prospects looked good for a tight game
but the Devils Lake men got down to
business and played as though they
a no opposing team to play against.
The place for the final game of the
season has not yet been decided, but
Williston wants it and will put up a
guarantee of $500. which is $3.50 more
than expenses. If Devils Lake can
do as good, there will be a fight for
the place.
The Devils Lake men average 140
pounds per mar and the Williston
team averages 1865 pounds per man.
In view Of this fact, Coach Smart
of the Devils Lake team is going to
put his men through the most vigor-
u practice they have ever seen this
week and make an effort to work
trick plays, as we'll as training the
men in tackling and defense.

Or. KENNEDY SENDS
MESSAGE To LOCAL
REDCROSs CHAPTER

In letter received yesterday by a
friend in Pensacola, DIR. S. R. Mallory
Kennedy who is serving with the
British Expeditionary Forces, "some-
where in France" sends a message
to the local chapter of the Red Cross,
urging them to greater effort in max
ing dressings, bandages, etc., for use
in the war.
He says that few people realize the
vast quantities of dressings needed,
and that some are prone to criticise
the work of the Red Cross by saying
that the work could be done so much
faster by machinery. The demand
according to the local physician,
means the use of all machine made,
and hand made too, and that the out
put can only be increased by more
women working to make dressings.
According to the letter received, the
English are greatly impressed with
the work of the Red Cross, in Europe
and through the organization in
America.

One Hundred and Fifty-Second Day of
America in the War.
COMING TOURIST SEASON.

We must prepare now for the coming
tourists.
A Pensacola man who spent some weeks
in the north, stated upon his return that
there are more tourists coming to Pensa-
cola this. season than ever BEFORE and from
one state it is reported that special cars
will be operated to Florida and many of
the passengers are coming to Pensacola.
This report is a call to action on the part
of Pensacola people, for the tourists will
favor the places where there are evidences
of welcome being extended.
Pensacola's attractions are increasingly
large, and because of the hundreds of young
men from every state in the union who are
now stationed at the navy yard and army
post, an increase in tourist travel is not to
be wondered at. 1t would be good idea
70 plan welcome for the strangers. The
Pensacola Tourist Club numbers in its
membership men and women from more
tlan dozen states. 1t behooves us of the
city of Pensacola to offer such attractions
IN the shape of warm welcome, as will
cause the fame of Pensacola hospitality to
go far and wide.
Tourists are coming in large numbers
from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and other
ates. They prefer Pensacola to any other
spot in Florida because of its delightful
climate, more enjoyable than the extreme
heat OF peninsula resorts, and because of
Our great expanse of water with its I'M
equalled boating and fishing. Tourists who
came here last winter said that nature
could not have done more for their enjoy
ment, but they found Pensacola sadly
lacking in the way of entertainment and
serious fault should be made now 1t is not
that the people OF Pensacola are lacking
IN hospitality, but that they have not vet
learned how to make the visitors feel at
home here
An active committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, with committees from the re-
ligious and fraternal organizations could
do much to make this one of Florida's most
important tourist points,

SCHOOLS FACE PROBLEM

Demands of war have brought the
schools of the country face to face with
serious problem.
The pay of teachers has ever been pitt
FULLY small, held at low level because teach
ing has proved so attractive field of en-
dcavor that there were always more appli-
cants than vacancies. When one teacher
resigned dozen were ready to take the
place.
But conditions are now undergoing
rapid and decided change. Vacancies
created in commercial lines by enlistments
IN the army and navy carry salaries that
overshadow the teachers preference for
school work-too attractive to resist-and
many are laying down the text book to take
Up business employment
Civil service has attracted teachers in
great numbers, because of the better pay
and more certain advancement, and the
government seems to have preference for
clerical help with educational training,
while office managers consider themselves
most fortunate when they can replace at
