WILSON-BIGGS 5
HAD Close CALL
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

Last night the basket bali fans Of
Pensacola Were treated toca rare des-
sert when the High School team
clashed with the Wilson-B iggs in a
wonderfully fast and exciting game,
which pulled the curtain down on the
basket ball season for 1919.
The High School team doubling the
supremacy OF the cham IONS challeng-
ed them to a contest which would de-
eide once and for all which team was
really the more efficient in the art of
ringing baskets. TIE Wilson-Biggs
willingly accepted the challenge and
succeeded in demonst4y. ing that they
could successfully defend their cham
pionship honors against all local
corners.
The latter team had o1sy travelling

nents were unwilling to allow the
game to result in a wc.1-away. and

This is an unimportant rule of he
planets, according to astrology, for all
the stars are feeble in their sway.
Mars is in a place that seems to
promise freedom and good fortune for
soldiers.
The conditions are most favorable for
physicians and all who work. for the
bettermeut Of humanity.
Churches win extend their work, as
has been often predicted, but progress
will be slow and there will be many
conflicts of opinion.
All the signs seems TO indicate that
the old forces Of humanity will protest
strongly against progress. They will
be given the power OF desperation but
will not succeed
Great power will be brought to bear
to overcome prohibition and woman
suffrage, which will be discussed con-
stantly in the next few weeks, but
progress will not be overcome.
The fame of a preacher who will
prove himself an organizer as well as
an orator is prognostlcated.
Neptune Is likely to affect sensitive
persons at this time, doubt, worry and
uncertainty being produced.
The king Of Greece is subject to the
most disturbing sway, for he has the
sun in conjunction with Mercury, with
Mars in square to his Jupiter. An at
tempt may be made on his life and
he will not remain on a throne through
his entire life, the seers declare.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a quiet year with little
that is disturbing, but domestic affairs
may not be altogether satisfactory.
Children born on this day may be
high strung and careless. These sub
jects of Aries are likely to have I'M

cago has this to say Of him;
This organization gives its hearty
support to the candidacy Of Robert NJ.
Sweitzer. Mr.. Sweitzer has been tried
in office as county clerk for eight
years. There has been not one breath of
criticism against his administration of
that great office, with its manifold
duties. The county clerk manages all
the election machinery Of the county
outside OF the city itself. Under him
is spread Upon the books every tax
assessed in the city. He is county
comptroller and clerk of the county
court. No better training could be had
for the office for which he is now a,
candidate.
During the war, in marked contrast
to this opponent, the patriotic services
of Mr.. Sweitzer have been a genuine
help to his country. He served with
high success on the state council of
defense. In the campaigns of the Lib
erty loan and the Red Cross he was
a prominent leader. In the Salvation
Army drive last August the district
under his charge made a remarkable
response.
Robert M. Sweitzer, in his whole
souled integrity, his ability and mental
grasp, is fully equipped to represent as
mayor the people Of this city--to re-
deem 1t from the shame of the last
four years"

through the woods, until he came TO
the place where all the animals have
their diamond rings mended.
Il did not take long to glue the
sparkling diamond back In the ring

in his paw, Uncle Niggily hoped on
10 the ten and eleven dollar store to
get Nurse Jane another and a newer
diamond ring.
Here is a beautiful one" said the
little mousie girl clerk, who waited on
the bunny.
I'm take IT," said the rabbit gentle
man, ana then with two diamond rings,
which made him feel very rich indeed,
Uncle Wiggily started to hop back TO
his bungalow.
He had not gone very far before there
was a rustling in the bushes, and out
stepped Alice Wibblewobble, the duck
girl. AS soon as Uncle Wiggily saw
her he cried:
Why, Alice! What big ears you
"Those aren't my ears!" quacked
Alice, Those are my feathery ear
muffs and the very latest style! Don't
you like them"
Il can't say that | do" spoke Uncle
Wiggily, dryly like R sponge before II

"Oh, just nothing" answered Alice,
II only puffed out the feathers I'VE

now. Why, there are lots larger than
mine, You should see the a puffs OF

spoke the bunny. II don't want to
find fault, Alice, but II does seem to
me that smaller puffs would be better"
They wouldn't be so stylish, -
quacked Alice,
Uncle Wiggily showed Alice the two
diamond rings for Nurse Jane, and
Alice said they were very pretty. Then
the duck girl and the bunny rabbit gem
tleman walked on through the woods
together, when, all of u sudden, Alice
whispered;
quick, Uncle wiggily! Give me those
diamond rings!"
what for?' asked the bunny, in sur
prise,
Don't ask questions! Just give them

So he looked IN all OF Uncle Wig

he trotted off,
Here are the diamond rings, Uncle

was out of the way.
"Why-why-where did you hide
