PENSACOLA LOSES
HARD FOUGHT GAME
Yerser, of Spring Hill High, Makes
Only Touchdown.

At the close of hard fought game,
which should have been nothing to
nothing when the timekeeper's whis-
tie blew for the game to end, Spr1ng
Hill High School walked off the field
with a score Of six points to the Pen
sacola High Schools team nothing.
The game was fight from the time
it started until the finish, and both
teams fought over every incn OF
ground gained. The game was the best
that has been played at Maxent this
year.
The single goal was made during the
last quarter when McAvoy made a
long pass to Gilbert, the play giving
the visitors a clear gain of 25 yrads
At the finish of this play the Dali was
within one yard of Pensacola's goal
A line buck was attempted, and then
another one. Between the two, q gain
of about half yard was made, leaving
the ball within Is inches of Tie goal
line. Another line buck was attempt
ed with little gain. and on the fourth
down the ball was carried over by
Yerger. No goal was kicked and the
play gave the visitors six points
A last desperate effort to tie the
score was made by the Pensacolians
and Wilson made a good forward pass
to Gerald for gain. The same team
worked another one. but by taat time
the Spring Hill aggregation saw the
danger and broke up the next combi-
nation and the ball went over. The
visitors kicked out of danger and the
ball was kicked back and forth with
out any dangerous plays until the
whistle blew for the game to end
With the opening of the game, the
visitors held a slight advantage over
the locals and had a shift formation
which Pensacola could not get next
to during the first half At one time
Pensacola's goal was in danger and
the visitors were gaining on line bucks
for downs. When within a few yards
of the goal, Coach Donahue made some
Illegal substitutions and his bunch
were penalized for half length of the
field. They kicked out of danger and
no goal was neared until the fatal
fourth quarter.
The Spring Hill men were slightly
heavier than the locals and made sew
eral downs on line bucks and end runs,
while the locals made only one or two
downs The locals put UP game fight
however, and work of Johnson, Wilson,
Lempke and Wolfe was especially
good good Pinney was one of the
gamest fighters of Pensacola, though
by far the lightest man on the team
lie covered right end and all his OPP
ponents were taken in turn Wolfe put
up a good fight on the other end.
Strong plays by the visitors were
made by White, in a series of floating
center movements, and Druien at
quarter Both ends played a good game.
The game throughout was one OF the
eleanest Witnessed on Pensacola's
during the season and
Coaches Moore and Donahue have
worked up strong machines.

which are giving splendid service. A
few of the rural districts in Kentucky
have done the same thing for their
children, but many counties have been
backward in giving the country child
a real opportunity for a flrst-class ed
ucatiOn because of laws which have
permitted the schools to be pulled into
local politics.
1T is indeed fortunate that both of
the political parties in Kentucky at
the last session of the Legislature
laid aside all party feeling, got to-
gether and passed a group Of strong
sch6ol laws that will remake the rural
schools. These new school laws will
practically take the County Boards Of
Education and the County Superin-
tendent out of politics and keep them
out Of politics If the voters will think
OF the children when they go to the
polls in November.
every right thinking man and
woman should vote for strong men for
the new County Boards of Education.
These right thinking people should
also urge others TO do likewise that
every small school shall be developed
TO serve the children, and in serving
the children make the State what it
should be i'm the future"

JOBS IN CITIES
GROWING SCARCE
Salvation Army and X. OF @. Find
Labor Supply Equal To
Demand.

New York, Oct. 2.-Reports made
public here tonight by employment
agencies of both the Salvation Army
and knights of Columbus indicated
that jobs soon will be scarce in cities.
Equalization Of labor supply and
demand during the last week was re-
ported by the five employment offices
in this city conducted by the Saliva
ton Army. For the first time in two
years, as many men were found seek
ing work as there were jobs available.
A feature of the week, statement
by the Army said, was a falling off
in demand for unskilled workers
Previously there had been a greater
call for this class of labor than for
white collar" workers. The report
said it was altogether possible that
the near future would see a return
of the condition where there are more
men than jobs.
William j. Mckinley, supreme sec
rotary of the Knights of Columbus,
after a three months survey of
Knights of Columbus employment bu-
reaus, warned young raen from agri-
cultural districts to keep away from
the cities.
MEN are flocking to New York,
Chicago Boston and other large cities
locking for employment" said Secre-
tary Mckinley, "and hundreds of
them are glad to accept mental po-
sitions in hotels where. at least. their
meals are assured.
"The present fall in prices of GER
tain commodities is being accompan-
led by a fall in wages for certain
kinds of labor. Production has had
decided drop in many big industries
and the supply Of help, especially of
the semi-skilled kind, greatly exceeds
the demand"

DON'T SKlMP ON SCHOOLS

Every magazine and newspaper In
the land is printing editorials con-
corning the schools of the nation.
The Youths Companion has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the schools
in America:
"The schools of America were
founded and maintained by sacrifice;
only so can they be preserved. The
teacher must be convinced Of the
value and dignity of his service that
he will not lightly abandon 1t for
some occupation that offers more ease
or excitement or money. And on the
other hand the public must stop being
niggardly. 1t must tax itself more
heavily for schools than it has been
in the habit of doing, and 1t must pay
salaries that do not degrade the
teacher in the eye of the community.
Wherever else a county must skimp,
let II not skimp on its schools"

AMAZING WATER
GLASS TEST
Silent Alamo Light Plant Attracts
Attention at National Farm Light
And Power Week Exhibition

The exhibition of the Silent Alamo
Lighting Plant operating under full
load while standing on three ordinary
drinking glasses is a clincher.
One is not accustomed to seeing
lighting plants upon so ethereal a
base. Usually they have very sub
stantial foundation.
During the demonstration 1t was
explained, seemingly to the entire
satisfaction of the audience, that this
red plant is so perfectly designed and
so accurately balanced that it will OPP
crate efficiently without being an
chored to a special foundation.
The makers claim that the Silent
Alamo has mo Ruinous Vibration"
Operating the plant for an indefinite
time with three drinking glasses as
it's only foundation would seem to
prove it. for certainly even a slight
vibration would shake 1t off so flimsy
base.
National Farm Light & Power
Week is being celebrated turnout the
entire country in an effort to concen-
trate the minds of dealers and farm
owners upon the subject of plentiful
light, running water and electrical la
bor-saviHg home conveniences, which
the Silent Alimo and other good
lighting plants make possible.

tion. Daily exhibitions will be given
