MY ONLY BOY
by A. X. Mehl,
Fort Wayne, Indiana

His baggage came, found in it
What books and clothes he had,
A aliing card on which was writ
"l've gone to war Dear Dad"
His pennants and college hymn
And many other things;
The letters had written him
We're tied with silken strings.
They kept my boy to make of him
A soldier, so they say,
To bat lie with the foe men grim
In Flanders far away.
The call came in the month of May,
JUS as his work has done,
The news came al the close of day,
When stars came one by one.
That night l saw him lead his men
Into that awful hell,
heard the fearful din and then
l saw a fash, he fell,
l thought heard another shout
But saw and heard no more,
For then the light of hope went out
On nights plutonian shore.

| O how miss that faithful boy,
My joy is not supreme.
trust my hopes may not be vain,
To m ct again my own,

OLD WEST STILL
HAS FASCINATION

There is a fascination about the
resistible, and stories Of the intrepid
pioneers who made the Winning of
the West" possible never grow trite.
The romance of the old West, how
ever, is giving way to the reality of
the new West. Rowing bands of
Indians no longer attack the prairie
schooner caravans of the pioneers, and
the bandits who formerly held up the
Deadwood coach have adopted the
more scientific method of dynamiting
the express car on the Limited Mail
The old days, nevertheless, still have
fascination for young and old, and
it is this fact which gives primary
interest to the exhibitions of the Jess
Willard-Buffalo Bill Wild West show,
which is coming to Richmond, Friday
Sept. T.
A very considerable interest also
attaches to the announcement that
Jess Willard, the new worlds champ
ion, will be with the show in person
when it exhibits in this city, and this
interest is accentuated by the fact that
he will, it is declared, appear in his
original character as cowboy role
he played in real life in his younger
years-and that he will join with the
other Wild West people in giving color
and verify to the exhibition. Incident
ally, it is announced, he will also ap-
pear in ring costume, and, with a
sparring partner, illustrate how he
gave one Jack Johnson, erstwhile
champion of the world, the blow that
cost him his supremacy among the
worlds pugilists. This, it is announc-
ed, takes place in the big show, and
not in the concert.

Slackers Seeking
to Adopt Children

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.-To pre-
vent slackers from adopting children
in order to avoid drafting into the
national army, the Children's Aid
Society of this city has been forced to
put in operation new set of regula-
lions for the adoption of children.
The general secretary of the society
said today there has been a large in
crease in the percentage of married
men under 81 years who have applied
for the adoption of children.
Under the new regulations If an ap-
plicant for child is subject to draft
no child Is permitted to be placed in
his home unless his wife has independ-
ent means of supporting herself and
the child or unless the man is able to
leave sufficient means for their sup
port in his absence.

TO SCHOOL SPORT
DECLARES N0HR
Coach Says Boys Eager For
Physical Contests-SOcc
Is Planned.
BY DON WARFEL

With the opening Of High schoo
less than a week distant, plans arc
already being made by Physical Di
rector Nohr for the athletics Of the
school during the coming fall and
winter seasons.
Instead of working hardship or
the schools athletics, the war condi
tons OF the country really have bene
flied sports, by giving every High
school boy an incentive for more ex
ercise and better physical develop
ment, says Mr.. Nohr.
Farm work also has made hushes
out OF young fellows that were mere
boys when they left school last spring
and the sports of the school will lack
little in the way Of weight. l could
hardly recognize some of the boys
after they had spent part Of the sum
mer on the farm" Nohr declared.
Soccer May Be Played
Tennis, and probably soccer, will
form the chief sports Of the early fall
season. Tennis players of the school
have been practicing for the greater
part of the summer in small play.
ground tournaments and from the
leaders will be chosen team to rep
resent the school in Journeys with
teams from other cities.
The first interscholastic tournament
will be with Anderson High school on
September 81 at the Richmond play.
grounds. Shell and Burr Simmons
Richard Thornburg and Roland Keys
probably will represent R. H. S. in
this tourney. Other meets are pend
ing with Hamilton, Muncie and New
castle teams.
Efforts will be made to introduce
soccer as fall sport for the first time
this season. Soccer has gained some
favor among the schools of the east
and colleges in all parts of the coun.
try and is a game that can easily hold
the interest Of the players. 1t has an
advantage over bseball in that no spe-
for any one position.
Basketball Starts Soon
Basketball, which will form the chief
sport of the school again this win
ter, will start about the second week
after the opening Of school next Mon
day 1t is the plan of Coach Nohr to
start the basketball season with inter
group games and from these games
pick the men for the varsity and sec
ond team squads.
With three varsity men of last year
to build around, it is promised that
a stronger team than last years will
represent the school during the next
winter.
Shell Simmons, last years center
and forward. will be given first chance
at the pivotal position on this years
first string with Markley Lahrman,
last years second. string center as a
substitute.
Wendell O'Neal and Everett Shell
ton are expected back on the squad
again for the coming season, thus
making backbone for both the often
sive and defensive side of the team.
Several new men will enter the
school next fall and of these, some
may be able to strengthen the basket
ball team. Roy Harding, forward on
Woodward High school team Of Gin
cinnau, has signified his intention Of
trying out for basketball and will
make a splendid mate for O'Neal on
the varsity. Harding is stockily built
and should be able to take Tai Jes-
sup's place on the squad. Shideler
Harte and Frank Albus are other new
names that may appear on the R. H.
S lineup.

Costs Nothing for Opinion Of Your
Own Case.
Everyone recognizes the value of ex-
pert opinion. This is the age of spec
ialism, and when we have work of i'm
portance to be done, we go to an ,ex-
pert in his line.
Years ago it was realized that medi-
cine covered too broad a field for any
one man to master its every branch.
Hence, the doctor who specialized in
some particular branch became the
most proficient and the most success
full.
The wonderful success of the great
blood remedy, S. S. S., is due largely
to the fact that it has not been recon-
mended as cure-all, but strictly for
those diseases having their origin in
