Union H1gh Teams VIII Be Met In Pair
Of Contests This Evening at
McNechen.

What promises to Guido anything be-
fore staged in an athletic line between
the Marshall county representatives
will take place this evening when the
Moundsrille boys and girls play the
Union high teams at the McMechsp
gymnasium These schools are very
bitter in an athletic way, and the out
come of games between them Is always
the subject of rauch discussion down
the river. In previous encounters HN-
eral weeks ago at Moundsville the
Orange and Black won a double vic,
tory, but the Union lads hope to turn
the tide.
Moundsylle has a much larger team
this year than the popular Union high
and despite this advantage there should
be a record breaking attendance. since
the rivalry is keen and the fact that
PLAYING on the Union floor should De
TO the Benwooders' advantage. Union
high boasts OF q very accommodating
gymnasium, while the seating capacity
is much more in evidence than at the
Mound City.

In the Days News

Francis E. Warren, for 30 years a
United States senator from Wyom-
ing, and long a prominent figure IN
national legislative affairs, received
the congratulations of his col
leagues in the upper house today
on the occasion of his 18th birth
day. Senator Warren has been con
spicuous in Wyoming politics for
more than half a century. He was
twice territorial governor and was
the first governor under the state
constitution. and previously mad
been member of the Wyoming
council and president of the
Wyoming senate. He served three
terms as treasurer of Wyoming
His first office in the territory was
as mayor of Cheyenne. Senator
Warren was born in Hinsdale,
Mass, and was educated at Hins
dale academy. After serving in the
union army through the civil war
he went to Wyoming and soon ac-
cumulated a large fortune in the
cattle business. He was the first
United States senator elected under
the state constitution in 1890.

Who Recruited the Army Worm?

Something always is happening to take the
joy out of life for the farmer. 1t may be hog
cholera, bovine tuberculosis or hoOf and mouth
disease. In the growing season there is nearly
always either too much too little rain,
driving storm to lodge the grain, hail some
other blamed thing Just now it is the army
worm which is giving chief concern.
1t has been a number of years since this
pest gave any trouble in this locality, though
it is not new, by any means. 1t is perhaps
the most destructive insect known, for it is
voracious feeder, not especially particular in
its tastes and it takes every green thing it
goes.
If this outbreak had occurred year ago a
good many people would have felt sure that
German agents had planted the insects about
the country. AS matters stand Wen have
to put the blame on the bolshevists and let it

The Break in Germany.

The break seems to have come in German
affairs that makes certain the signing of the
peace treaty. Ousting of President Ebert and
the Scheidemann cabinet and the reported vote
of the assembly at Wemar to accept terms IN
doubtedIy was the result of strong popular
pressure. There is no doubt that the Of
the people of Germany desire the immediate
ending of the state of and that the oppo-
sition to signing has been political, rather than
popular in its nature.
If the public is in position to have
its will correctly expressed by the peace dele
cation the American doughboys still on Euro
pean soil might as. well pack up and come
home. 1t is extremely unlikely that they will
again be needed, at least in the present genera
ton, to impress Germany with show of force.
