OUR UNCLE SAN.


Years and years ago. before
we lived here, even before our
grandfathers came. there came
TO our home a rugged, honest,
hearty man. quiet and unassum-
ing. whom everybody soon
learned TO love. Our great
grandfatherS nicknamed him
Uncle Sam. He sort of took hold
Of things right from the start
and in all the family quarrels
he just stepped in and straight
ened things out so that every
body was satisfied. He soon
grew TO he very rich. but that
did not make any difference TO
him. he just kept on doing and
living right and helping other
people He built beautiful cities.
and made them fit 10 live in.
He made everybody equal
whether they were rich or poor.
Several times some outsiders
would get jealous OF his country
and try to sneak in and do
something mean. hut he simply
took them over his knee and
spanked them and sent them
back home
Finally one time. a really big
man who had his family and
relatives all under his thumb.
started a really big scheme,
which at first Uncle Sam did not
quite understand. but soon found
out that he wanted 20 take our
country and put il under his
own rule. Then Uncle Sam got
busy. He got all the young fell
lows together and gave them
guns and clothes and food and
trained them and sent them
over 20 help out the other peo-
pie who were fighting this kaiser
who wanted the whole world.
He even sent food and clothes
and guns over TO the these
French and English soldiers.
Now this cost an awful lot Of
money and il did not take long
before Uncle sam had spent all
OF the money he had in the
bank and so he had to borrow
some more money OF course,
he paid good interest and gave
the very best security, and now
he needs some more money. and
ne wants 20 borrow II, and 7
think nobody ought 90 wait 20

see who could be the first 20

of equal prominence asking for games
for next year, or rather asking if ne

even one-half the teams written for
games can be met, but there is always
so much trouble in agreeing on dates,
place for playing, etc, that it is gen

with more teams than it, is thought
wise TO play.
But, there can be no doubt that at
least four of the teams named will be

as they have come to be annual events
and the arrangement of the actual

no doubt be seen arranged. The Army
too, is practically certain to be met
this year. A game was arranged for
this past season and was shifted twice
by the Army management before it was
finally given up. There is every reason
to believe that another contest will be
arranged for this year the formal nego-
tiations have not been opened between

The University Of Virginia is one
of the most desirable of opponents for
