outplaying the Red and Black in all de-
partments. Clinton seemed to lack the
fine team work which it displayed in It's
two earlier games. Inc Green and
White outpunted. outrah and outplayed
the Red and Black.
Two Chances Go Bcgging.
Clinton at no stage really threatened
Its opponents goal posts. while on the
other hand New Utrecht lost two good
chances> for touchdowns.
One of the chances which New Utrecht
threw to the winds was In the start Of
the second quarter after George Smith
In the first quarter on trick play ran
around left end for forty yards. Tho
whistle then sounded and brought the
quarter to a close with the ball on Cl!n-
tons / 3 yard line. 1t was the first down.
But New Utrecht, instead of trying
line plunges for the necessary fifteen
yards. tried for a goal from the field
which missed It's mark by a wide margin.
Smith did the kicking. Clinton then re-
covered the ball and sent II back to
midfeld by a punt.
quite an argument arose at the end OF
the first half between Coach Sheridan
Of New Utrecht and the referee. II. c.
Curtis. over a decision by Curtis. In the
second quarter, when New Utrecht had
the bail on Clintons 5 yard line, the
Green and White tried a forward pass
which was intercepted by Isenberg, Clin-
ton, behind his own goal posts. Isen-
berg. after catching the pass, stood still
and did not try to advance II. The
referee ruled a touchback, while the New
Utrecht coach declared it was a safety.
VIII Appeal the Ruling.
However, the referee refused to change
his decision. which made Sheridan say
that he would take the matter UP at
the next meeting Of the High Schools
Games Committee.
After New Utrecht had tailed It's two
points It played mostly OH the defeh-
sive. AS soon as Clinton would bring
the ball into play on New Utrecht ter.
ritory, the Green and White would punt
It back to midfeld.
Smith and Hettrick proved big factors
in the Brooklynites' triumph Smith
made end runs for gains OF twenty and
forty yards, while with Hettrick as =
partner the two executed the forward
pass for big gains. Eisenberg. Fried

Special Despatch to TEE SuS.
ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Oct 2s.-In spite OF
The many difficulties which have beset
the team this season. the Naval
Academy presented a fast and hard
hitting football aggregation this after
noon and won from Newport Naval
Training Station by ~ to 4
B One special credit was the fact that
the ccademy team. with many green
players in the lineup, kept its head and
nerve when a tumble early In the first
TIE midshipmen received the kickoff
and Orr fumbled on the third play.
Winchester picked up the ball and
dashed thirty yards for a touchdown.
The midshipmen scored three times
during that quarter and showed as fine
variety Of plays as a veteran team
could be expected to have close to the
end OF the season. A run Just outside
Of tackle was the chief play used by
Gil Dobie's charges. Butler. Severn
and Benoist carried the ball in wide end
runs or plunges alongside of centre.
There was a fair number OF forwar I'd
passes. The latter counted for small
gains at least half the time.
The visitors made a surprisingly
weak showing In view Of their reputa-
ton and made first down from scr.m-
mage only once. Their plays were slow
and most Of their runners failed to hit
the line with any dash. The lineup:

Discovers Plot to Detour the
Tourists
county


Stymest Stevenson, county
consul of Lincoln Highway asso-
citation, says he has discovered a
plot at Missouri Valley from the
Lincoln Highway, sending tour
lists over the Bee line" road to
Blair, Neb., instead Of Council
Bluffs and Omaha.
The Bee line" he says. has
adopted markings similar to
those on the Lincoln highway
AS a result tourists coming from
the east think it is the LINCOLN
highway.
They must cross the Missouri
river. by ferry and are landed at
Blair, much to the commercial
advantage of that city.
Stevenson has a plan to erect
a big sign at Missouri Valley,
showing tourists the Lincoln
highway if they wish to follow it,

A Vital Necessity Nowadays.

No one who looks below the
surface can deny that passenger
automobiles are a vital necessity
to the people of this nation" ac-
cording to Frank l.. Hammer of
Frank L. Hammer Automobile
Co., Allen dealers for this city.
From the farmer to the city
dWeller, the so-called pleasure
car is daily used to accomplish
real work that would remain un-
done without it.
"The question that arises in
my mind is whether automobiles
arc enough used to accomplish
all that they can accomplish to
help today's industrial situation.
.''I'he business man needs a car
so that he can multiply his acti-
'vities and increase his capacity
by making four or forty calls
a day. = N,tAle ~
1.-The housewife should use her
car and group her shopping and
buying of home supplies so that
she can take all her purchases
with her and cut down the load
on store deliveries that is now
"a pressing question.
The farmer needs his ear for
communication with toWIi--for
supplies-for repairs. for farm
equipment--for a dozen errands
that will help him run his farm
at top capacity.
Most earnest people are try
ing to do more and better work
in their particular sphere, than
they did before, for by so doing
they help the general cause. And
right here they are finding the
automobile great assistant"

MISTAKES

When a plumber makes mis-
take he charges twice for it.
When a judge makes mistake
it becomes the law of the land.
When preacher makes a
mistake nobody knows the differ
ence.
When an electrician makes a
mistake, he blames it on induc-
tion--nobody knows what that is.
When a lawyer makes a mistake,
it's just what he wanted, because
he has chance to try the case
all over again.
When a carpenter makes mis-
take, it's just what he expected,
because chances are ten to one,
that he never learned the trade
anyway.

Dedication of Service Flag
st. Patrick's Church.

Promptly at 8 o'clock Sunday
evening, marching to the martial
music of the organ, the Stars and
Stripes, given by the knights of
Columbus, and the Service Flag,
given by the Rosary society, were
borne up the center aisle to the
main altar, where they were then
blessed accordingly to the rites of
the Catholic. church, and raised
to their positions. An electric
lighted star of red, white and
blue, which was suspended from
the ceiling in front of the altar,
made a beautiful effect,
each light representing a soldier
in service. In the center was one
gold star. The. dcdicatoly ad-
dress delivered by Father NJ. +.
Nolan, was eloquent, in Which it
was made manifest that altho
this flag represented only Catho-
lie boys in the service of our be-
loved country, yet III was dedicat-
ed to all Missouri Valley and
Harrison County men Who are in
the service. - ,.
The Service Flag contains 25
blue stars and one gold star. The
gold star to stand in memory Of
the first boy from Missouri Valley
who sacrificed his life that we
might enjoy liberty and the
name and memory of Julius Mill
Ter will live after the lives of
those who placed the star for him
have passed to where his spirit
now dwells.
The names and addresses of
the boys represented on the
flag will be placed in the vesti-
bule of the church and additions
will be made as the members are
called into service.
The sermon of the evening was
preached by Rev. Father g. Ed
gar Gallant, who has the distinc-
ton of being the first priest or
dained in Alaska. He spoke from
the text: Render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars and to
God the things that are Gods.

Iowa Hit Hard by Draft Quota

Des Moines, Iowa, June 22.--
Iowa must contribute 1882 of
its young men to the army before
August 4. A draft, call received
from the provost marshal gener-
al at Washington by Adjutant
General Logan today directs the
drafting of this number in the
five day period beginning July
20.
The men who go in this draft
will not have the advantage en-
joyed by a large proprtion of
Iowans in former drafts, of get
ting their training rlose to home.
Every man of them will go to
far away camps, The provost
marshals order reveals that
1922 will be sent to Camp Cor
don, Atlanta, Ga.,. and 1887 to
Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark.
1t was estimated by officials in
the adjutant generals office when
the call was received, that it was
almost completely Glass 4 in
Iowa.
l. Thousands of new brides will
suffer a double sorrow, and their
husbands just put into. Glass 4 j,
under orders from Washington
must not only put on olive drab
in only little more than month,
but will be taken to training
camps hundreds of miles from
Iowa. 1t was estimated recently
about $4,000 men are in Glass 1
in Iowa. Since then the class has
both reduced and increased. A
call for 5000 who will report to
Camp Dodge, June "a, and num-
erous smaller special calls have
taken new bridegrooms and some
by general re-classifying in dis
tricts where the proportion of
Glass 4 men is inordinately low.

Judge Green has introduced a
bill levying tax on the gross re-
ceipts of mail order houses do
ing business above certain
amount. He believes that those
institutions do not pay their fair
share of taxes and that at a time
like this might well pay further
tax to the government out of their
large proceeds. He does not think,
this would add anything to the.

Mysterious Fire In Harrison Farm
Home.

Logan. Iowa, June 24.--Fire of
unknown origin destroyed the
H. N. Straight farm home eight
miles east of Logan, Saturday
night and endangered other farm
buildings with live stock. The loss
is said to be partially covered by
insurance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Straight and chill
dren were at Starry Point school
house at a meeting and knew
nothing about their loss until
coming in sight of the home. AS
no matches and no stove were in
the part of the house where the
fire was discovered by neigh
bors, the cause is a mystery.
