FOR THE BOYS
 AND THE GIRLS

DOA U, ooluy 1SouCC, Via Kingman, Oct. II. To the Editor Miner and Our Mineral Wealth,
 Kingman,
 Dear Sir:-
 l find that each and every one can make themselves useful in helping the army along. Each and every school girl and boy can make themselves very useful. In California they use peach pits for making peach brandy, but now they can use them far better than that. They can convert them in- to material that will save many a young mans life. That is far bet ter than strong drink.
 While strong drink is the ruination of many a home, the peach pits will go to making our homes better.
 Then let each, and every one, make their homes better, by gathering peach pits and let each and every young man help Uncle Sam along by joining the army, and in doing so we can lift up the down trodden nations.
 Not only the down trodden Nat ions but each and every one, indiv:d- ually, alone. In years to come we will never regret, what we have done for our Country. It will be helping each one morally and socially, and fin ancially.
 So now, get in and do your best, boys and girls! and nelp fight for your Country and Germany will regret the day, she ever forced us into this war.
 This is all for the present, and more next time.

years. The MorGantown publicity man
says: When Yost started coaching at
Michigan, he had played only one
gang with Lafayette. whereas he had
played two full seasons at West Nir-

The MOrEantown Mountaineers have
played 1879 football games and have
won 1l3 of them. Football was first
played by West Virginia in 1891. and,
save for 1892. it has been played every
year since. Twelve tie games stand
on the record book, and seventy-four
defeats, which is a mighty good story,

backed away from an opponent mere

The only eleven having any margin

cused today when they slept extra

johnson Didn't Shine.
Walter Johnson didn't shine much
IN his tussIe against Tom Rogers.
IN fact, Walter warmed up for the
first eight innings, never showing his
real power until then. His fast ball
was straight as a string. his curve
was noneXistent, and he was Wild as
a crow for the first six frames. Then
he slowly began to get into shape.
From the eighth inning on Johnson
was himself. and the brownies were
having oodles of trouble all the way.
Occasionally Barney got into trouble,
but he could put on steam and escape
with more or less ease. The visitors
really had small hope of winning,
once Barney got his stride.
Tom Rogers pitched fine bail for
St. Louis. and deserved better luck
The Grif1s could do little with him.
He allowed but eight hits, and Frank
Schultz copped half of these. II was
no disgrace for Rogers to be beaten
in such a game.
