SEVERELY BRUISED MONDAY
AlphOnse Bentfeld Is Temporarily
Knocked Out During Football
Practice-Ready Again.

For the first time in several years,
the football practice of the local high
school boys, had distressing results,
when Alphonse Bentfeld, Senior,
was hurt Monday afternoon. The boys
were lined up and were going through
the rough drill necessary to get them
in shape for later team work. One
man was running with the ball while
the others devoted their energies to
stopping him and forming what is ia
mlllarly known as "pig pile" AL
phonse, who tackles everything with
a mighty vim, was foremost in the
fray. He was tackling low and
struck the knee of the man with the
ball with his chin just as he raised it
in the act of running. The force of
the. hard knee cap, intensified by ac-
ton, striking against Alphonse's chin,
jerked his head sharply back twisting
it and causing conclusion. The blow
put the young man. into a half un-
conscious state. A physician was
summoned who announced that it was
impossible to tell the outcome then,
but that injuries of that nature were
often serious and advised sending for
Mr.. Bentfeld at West Union at once.
Alphonse was taken to his room at
Breher's. : He did not seem to be in
great pain, but was delirious. About
ten o'clock he fell asleep and on wax
ing several hours later was normal.
Tuesday he complained only of Sc
we're headache, but was well otherwise
and expressed a desire to get back in
to the game at once.
Mr.. Bentfeld who arrived soon af-
ter the accident was not inclined to
put any blame on the shoulders OF
Supt. Aygarn or the coach. He said
his son was in the game and all re-
allied that he must take what evel
came. He, too, was willing that AL,
| phonse go back into practice as soor
as he was able.
The accident saddened the hearts Of
the teachers and schoolmates of thu
young man, for he is one of the fine
clean type of the younger generation
that has "a way Of winning Close
friends. Therefore, it is not hard t.
realize that Tuesdays encouraging
bulletin meant great deal.

MASONS WERE HOSTS
Informal Banquet and Dance for Sol
der Boys Pleasant Affair.


The informal dinner and dance CIV
en- to the young men called for service
in Uncle Sans army from Sank Cen
tire and immediate vicinity by Star in
the West Lodge at the Masonic Tenn
pile, Monday evening was a most
pleasant affair. Nearly 80 Of the
young men responded to the invita-
tons, and with the Masons on hand,
almost 100 enjoyed the splendid din
ner prepared by the ladies of Naomi
Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star.
Following the banquet Toastmaster
Asa M. Wallace introduced Worship
full Master C. II. Child who very con-
daily welcomed the young men on
behalf of the lodge.
George Ingram, for many years a
member of Star in the West Lodge,
but for the past seven a resident OF
Canada, was next introduced and
brought the boys greetings from their
brothers on the North. He interest
ingly reviewed the experiences OF Can
ada in the conflict showing that they
had played prominent part in the
successes of the Allies from the very
beginning of the conflict. Out OF a
population of 100000 people, Canada
has already sent over 100000 across
the water, and this without conscrlp'
ton. He stated that the conscriptlon
was about to start for the purpose OF
raising 100000 more. He was mighty
glad that Uncle Sam had taken the
stand for democracy and humanity
He did not doubt that the Allies would
eventually have won the war without
Uncle Sans assistance but her entry
would hasten the day when world.
wide peace would come. He predicted
that the American soldier would
reach that standard of efficiency OF
his Canadian brother. 0e5
While Mr.. Ingram is now loyal

the lines of his remarks ore could mot

that way down in his heart he was
