Out-of-town Rooters

CINCINNATI, Sept. 16.-Garry
Hermann, president OF the Gin
cinnati National League club,
said today that the only way
in which out-of-town fans could
get seats at the Cincinnati
worlds series games would be
by having friends in Cincinnati
apply for application cards for
them. He thought it likely that
only a very small percentage of
these would be accommodated,
such was the local demand.

Letters OF protest are pouring into
local newspaper Offices in a steady
stream. The newspapers are being
asked to lend their aid in stamping
out baseball profteering." The fans
! threaten TO boycott the Reds, even for
the worlds series. Bets are being
made today that, il the series goes the
limit, there will be large blocks of
empty seats at Redland Field before
the title is decided
This is fine treatment for Cincin-
natl fans said one loyal rooter
bursting with Indignation. We stick

Pur money and pulling for the team to
win. Why, Cincinnati has a country
wide reputation for supporting regu-
lar 'bloomers' year in and year out
Then what hapens?
Up Go the Prices.
The moment we get a winning
team up go the prices. Not only do
they go up, but up so high that the
average man, the man who has rooted
regularly for the Reds ever since he
was old enough to 20 to a game. can't
find the money.
IF that's the kind Of treatment
we're going to get from the ball club.
then we'll remember il. Hermann
won't always have pennant-winning
ball club. ThereIl come a time when
he'll be begging us to attend the
games at Redland Field. and he'll beg
in vain.
Like everybody else. the magnates
are going out for the money while it's
in sight. They're willing TO forget all
about their loyal fans just as long as
they can get the money. For one, I'm
done. And I know a whole lot more
just like me-"
Six Dollars Per Seat.
Herrmann's scale Of prices for the
series at Redland Field calls for sc,
plus war tax Of 90 cents, for one box
seat. 1t will cost $5 and 30 cents
war tax for a grandstand seat in the
lower tier. To see the games with
spyglass from the center field
bleachers will cost the fans SlIO,
including war tax.
However, the demand for worlds
series seats continues to keep a flock
OF clerks busy in the wilkins block.
A steady stream of fans are putting
down their names and requests for
certain seats, hoping 10 land the
prize. 1t is estimated that not one
in ten will be accommodated.

THE CAREERS OF THREE BOYS
William johnson. High School,
Second Place

Three boys sitting side by side in
their classroom were gazing idly out
over a large lake Their thoughts
were not on their lessons but far on
the other shore where the capital
city lay. They were dreaming OF a
wonderful future in those stately
buildings and factories in which
their fathers and elder brothers
were making their fortunes. Their
parents being on an equal footing
had sent their boys TO the same
school where they could get a SPLEEN
did education both in business and
cultural training.
AS their eyes were fastened on
the sparkling water they saw three
sail boats in a race for the docks of
the city. Just then they were side
by side, but soon one of them. TAX
ing advantage of the fact that the
others veered a little from their
course. put on fun sail and darted
forward in a direct line. Her speed
soon slackened however, because of
the many weeds i'm her path, while
the others, though running around
her. were rapidly gaining. As the
other two were nearing the goal one
put on a sail kept in reserve and
forged ahead, winning the race. The
boys whose minds were called back to
their lessons by the teacher thought
no more about the race. Their race
would be the same.
After a while the eldest seemed
to lose interest in his studies. He
continually kept telling his friends
about his fathers business and how
much the ad-man. bOokkeeper.
manager and others got as salaries.
He said they had worked their way
up from the office boys or appren-
tees. and never bothered with any
education. He asked the others 10
leave with him. and when they re-
fused. boasted that he would make
more money while they were study
ing than they would in ten years
later. His father was opposed TO

While they are out doing nothing
they could get a good education.
A boy that quits school to work
at the age of Il receives IL dollars
when he is 25 years old. while a
boy who quit at IS received 81 dol
lars a week when he was 20.
A soldier who had a good educa-
ton received a promotion to some
higher rank. y soldier learns IN
the army and when he comes back
he will not take his old place, but
get a better one. But if he did not
get educated in the army he would
take his old place back and stay
there ell his life.
If you visit a factory you see
many people working hard for few
cents day while a boss, foreman,
and superintendent have better jobs
and more pay. Why is this? 1t is
because they stayed in school longer
and learned more, while the people
who work on the machines and pick
up jobs quit school at IA and had
no education.
Boys who quit school at Il are
tempted TO spend their money on
good for nothing things such as
liquor. tobacco, gum and amuse-
ments. A boy who has learned gets
a better job and more pay.
Some of our parents want US 70
have a better education than they
had, but some do not care.
Schooling means health People
who quit at the age OF IA go 70 fac
tories and breathe the impure air
that flies around and it gets into
their lungs and they get sick. And
thus they die quicker than they
ought TO.
A boy or girl who quits thinks
that four dollars a week is good
pay for him but later when he gets
older and does not get higher pay
he thinks he ought 10.

his leaving but when ne saw that
opposition was useless, offered him
a job as assistant timekeeper.
The others continued their edu-
cation but in a different way. The
one worked diligently at securing a
business training. He read all the
books on commerce, finance and
business efficiency>he could get. thus
preparing for a career in the COM
mercial world. He entered the bat
tie Of commerce much better pre-
pared than his schoolmate. but sad
~ handicapped in that the classical
training OF his mind had been omit
ted. The last Of the group Of three
continued his preparation. He
studied history. chemistry, law, and
other subjects that the others
thought foolish for one who intend
ed to become a business man.
A decade had elapsed. An i'm
pOrtant meeting Of the officials Of
several textile corporations was held
10 discuss a measure pending in the
legislature which affected their bust
ness. These leaders nominated, be-
cause of his initiative, the president
Of one of the companies as chair
man. First to be called upon was
a superintendent, who told in
hating and embarrassed way about
the condition Of the men at the close
Of a long hour day and the quality
Of the work done in the last hours
Of a working day. He was thanked
for his information and then dis
missed.
Another detailed the benefits. in

and drew up a plan TO be followed
in guarding their interests in this

Are you going 20 school or have
you quit or have you decided to
quit? If you are going to school,
continue TO do so If you have quit
or decided to quit, change your
mind at once. Consider what il
means 10 quit school and what il
means TO continue.
II you are not educated just think
how it affects your country. Look
what has and is happening to poor
Russia because her boys and girls
were not educated. Do you want the
good old L. S a. to go through the
things Russia is going through? OF
course you don't. Then go to school
for your cOuntry's sake.
II YOU are not educated, think
what it means to you. OF course /
see the positions open 90 you, but
did you ever look beyond and see
that the attractive wage is caused
by the war? When war industries
are closed, then look where you will
be, even if your place of employ
ment does continue 10 operate at the
same pace. Did you ever think that
YOU have not the chance for the
better positions which loom up be-
fore you? The boy or girl who
continues his education will. when
he has finished step into the posi-
ton above you: then. alas, too late,
your chance for an education is
gone and you continue TO be the
working man in the lower position.
Then you see your mistake and fol-

do this. Go 10 school for your own
benefit.

At the time of the enlisting and

WHY L NEED AN EDUCATION.
Mike Buntman, Washington school

Education, which in other words
is training mentally, physically and
morally, is the key To success, and
every American citizen needs TO
have an education in order to sue
coed in any kind of work. There is
not a person in the whole United
States who missed an education,
who hasn't at some time in his life
been sorry for it.
There are boys who have quit
school not because they wanted to,
but because it was necessary for
them TO help support their famil-
les. We feel very sorry for these
boys. but the boys who sit in school
and wait until they are fourteen
years of age and then quit when
they don't have to, these are the
boys that have made it necessary
for the United States to have a
Back to School drive. They quit
in order to have some money TO
spend for shows, cigarettes, tobac-
co, and other unnecessary things. II
is like the story of the "Grasshop-
per and the Ant" While the ant
winter, the grasshopper played and
danced and had good time instead
of preparing for winter. When win
ter came and the glasshopper was
starving little by little each day, he
had TO go 10 the ant for food. II is
just the same with a boy who stops
school before he has an education.
If he comes in contact with job
that needs an education he can not
keep il. He will lose out and will
have TO depend on his parents to
help him. or will have TO take job
that pays very little, just enough to
live on from day 70 day. and then
depend on the city TO care for MIN
when he grows too old to work.
When a boy strikes for a job"
as we say, the boss asks him If he
is educated and If he smokes Gig
aretIs. If he says he is not edu-
Gated and smokes, the boss will say
he has no use for such a boy. II he
goes through high school and gets
a good education when the time
comes for him TO go TO work, he Will
have many positions offered.
II you keep yourself in school and
tell others 10 stay in school we will
De ahead OF all the other
countries in education and progress.
II we had not had educated men
like Pershing and Wilson and great
like Edison. we could not
have won this war.

WHY YOU SHOULD KEEP ON AT
SCHOOL.
Jennie SHERMAN, High school,
First Place.


There are many reasons why YOU
should remain in school First, it
is "A patriotic duty The great strug-
gle for democracy has been fought.
Many OF our gallant soldiers have
made the supreme sacrifice: many
others have been wounded. and will
be unable 20 carry on their former
occupations. 1t is up 70 US. the
school children Of today 10 prepare
ourselves. so that when the hour
comes when we are needed, we will
be ready 10 keep the affairs OF the
nation going. and prove TO the GAL
liant soldiers that fought for de-
mocracy, that their sacrifices have
not been in vain. We are the re-
serves that the nation will fall back
upon.
The countries OF Europe have
been devastated: the people Of Eu-
rope are helpless. America must
come 20 the rescue, We must be
ready TO assume all the responsible
ties and perform thoroughly and
well all the duties that will come
20 Us in the new and more closely
related world. To what extent and
how well we may be able TO do this,
will depend upon the young men
and women who are this year gradu-
sting from our high schools. and
upon those who follow in the next
few years
Our soldiers have done everything
10 keep this race free from slavery,
and you ought 20 be willing to do
your bit. and that. at present. is 10
remain i'm school. Our government
asks few things OF the people, but
when it does. its request sshould be
obeyed. And besides, it is for your
own benefit that you should stay in
school. II you have enough fore
sight and wisdom to look into the
future, you viii see that the best
thing for you 20 do is 10 receive an
education.
The school-children OF today are
the citizens of tomorrow. Are you
prepared to meet the test Of true cit
izonship? Get ready now, so that
YOU will be able I'm future years TO
become a true citizen
The second reason why you should
keep on at school is from a view
point OF dollars and cents. Anyone
can go out in the world. get a job
somewhere and make just enough
money TO live upon. but Il takes a
person with education 70 make a
success. Business men do not want
people who cannot speak. think, or
act correctly in their employ. They
want trained. educated workers, and
these only.
Do you realize how much your
schoOl-life means Do YOU realize
that everything rests upon the edu-
cation you receive? Which would
YOU rather live. a life OF poverty or
a life OF comfort. a life of failure or
n life Of success? II all depends
