W. NJ. A. SECONDS LOSE
TO INDEPENDENCE HIGH
The Youngsters Were Outweigh
ed And Outclassed. Their
First Game.

FIRST Odilc.
The lighter second team Of
Wentworth was outclassed by
the heavy independence High
School Team last Wednesday by
the score of So to IS. This was
the first game for the seconds,
but independence had been play
ing all season, having defeated
the Kemper first team early in
the season 7 to O.. The Wentwor-
.thians seemed stage-struck and
did not wake up until the latter
part of the game. independence
greatly excelIed in the aerial
game, and their first three
touchdowns were due to long
forward passes, which they con
tinued to use during the whole
contest with telling effect. Went
worth's line was also unable to
hold, except in streaks.
independence kicked off to
Wentworth but w. NJ. A. could
not hold. The ball was lost on
downs and the forward passing
: game was started. A long pass
) went to the one yard line and
, later it was bucked over. This
| happened twice more in close
. succession-two forward passes
and two more goals for Indepen-
t dence, the score of the LIST quar-
ter being 10 to 0, in favor of In
l dependence.
In the second quarter, indie
} pendence counted again on line
plunges. In the third quarter
= two more goals were made due
to several bone-head plays pull
ed by the Wentworth team, such
: as receiving the kickoff and let
: ting independence recover.
In the fourth quarter, after
Independence had made two

woke up and showed that thu

THE PASSING OF MIR. J. DAVIS
A Tribute by a Friend.

The funeral services of Mr.. Davis
were held in his late home Thurs
dav afternoon at 2 80. The village
suspended business and many out
side friends attended the services.
Such wealth Of flowers we have
seldom seen. The pastor OF his
church, Rev. DR.. w. II. Pheley, Of
ficiated. One prominent business
man from Toledo said, as he passed
out. Il would like to deserve such
a service when | pass to the great
beyond
DIR. Pheley said no one could
think of Mr.. Davis in any direction
without expressing pride. AS a
citizen. business man, church man,
home man and friend, Mr.. Davis
was highly esteemed. He lived in
our midst for nearly 40 years and
left record of which we are all
proud. We think Of him as Chris
tian gentleman, quiet, efficient
business man of sterling character
and square dealing.
In the death OF Mr.. Davis the
community has lost a most worthy
citizen, the church a faithful mem
ber and the, home beloved father,
where his memory would ever be
cherished, and he, himself, had lost
a personal friend. Then DR.. Pheley
paid beautiful tribute to that
friendship. Mr.. Davis was true to
all the integrities of life. True to
all the obligations of citizenship, to
all the claims of church and home.
DIR. Pheley then read a brief
biography of Mr.. Davis, written by
Editor E. l.. Blue OF the Perrys-
burg Journal in 1902, and said that
all the beautiful sentiments ex-
pressed then were true today with
sixteen years of added emphasis.
Five children survive Mr.. Davis
and are walking worthy OF his ex-
ample, and are sure to be, as the
scripture says in substance, - A
crown of glory to their father. y
A FRIEND.

A REMARKABLE
STATE OF AFFAIRS

The American Defense Society,
headed by men whose patriotism
and wisdom cannot be questioned
who have had long service in
the highest offices in the United
States and who Therefore are able
to speak with authority-has done
great and effective service in the
war.
At the very outbreak of war it
held mass meetings in behalf of
the war legislation advocated by
the President. 1t was the first
and only organization to make war
on pro-German soap-boxers. 1t
was the first defense society to eX-
pose the blunders and crimes of
Germany. 1t was the one society
to make the war on German insur-
ance companies which resulted in
action by Secretary McAdoo. 1t
was the first defense society to call
attention to the dangerous
"peace" preachings of w. R.
Hearst, and the first to appear at
Washington in the case against La
Toilette. 1t was the first defense
society to urge the President to
make war on Austria. 1t has
many other notable achievements
to it's credit.
The other day it issued an ap-
peal to the President which op-
posed peace negotiations with an
unbeaten and unrepentant Ger
many, and urged the organization
of the American fighting force to
the full limit of our power.
This action enrages the New
York World, which characterizes
it as "more offensive than pro-
German propaganda" How dare
any body of men, however high
their standing or however great
their wisdom, suggest anything to
the President? This is the atti-
tude of the World. In other
words, the World would have us
believe that this is not the people Is
war, but the President s war, a
monarchial one-man affair. Any
f1ggestions from the people OF
from a great and representative
body of men are "more offensive
than pro-German propaganda y
1t can be seen by looking over
the roster Of the Defense Society
that it has many men whom the

President should now be using as
helpers. The fact that they are
not being used means that a great
American war resource is being
wasted. Knowing the situation as
they do, these men are forced by
their patriotism to speak unof-
ficially, for bitter partisans have
kept them from serving and
speaking officially condition
which is without precedent in the
history of war-making democ-
racies. Is such narrow partisan

New York World, the spirit of CO.

explains why she was disappointed in

ELIZABETH, Nov. 2:-Absolutely
no authority is invested in a county
or a city fuel administrator to order
and compel owners of retail stores
to close their business at 6 o'clock in
the evening, according to John X.
English, Union county fuel adminis-
traitor, who was asked today for an
Interpretation of the rules under
which the administrators of the
country operate.
while It is our policy to encour-
age the saving of fuel in every man
ner possible" said Mr. English, "any
city or county administrator who
dares attempt such a foolhardy COM
mand places himself in the position
of a czar. The idea to practically
force merchants into bankruptcy by
such an early closing order is pre-
posterous. In my opinion the only
person who has any authority to or
der business stores to close is DR..
Garfield in Washington, and you will
notice that any sacrifice which he has
suggested of the public has always
