SQUAD FRIDAY
Schedule Is Confused and Elm.

Week VIII Come Next.
BY sSPHEROID SLIM

Rock Island High will play Can
ton next Friday night at the Y in
stead OF Elmwood and with this IN
mind the high school squad is hav-
ing a strenuous practice each and
every night. Due to some mistake
In copying the schedule the date OF
the Canton and Elmwood game was
mixed so that Canton will play
Rock Island this week and Elm
wood next, instead of vice versa.
There are two other changes in
the schedule owing to the fact that
the tournament was fixed on March
5 and s. The locals had games
scheduled with Moline and Daven-
port on these dates but they have
been changed to Feb. Is at Daven
port and Feb. Is at Moline.
Coach Kimmel's hopes for mix
ing up a world famous team went
up after the East Moline battle.
Not that the score was so large but
the way Henke threw EN- in from
under the basket and the longer
shots Of Lofgren and Parks and
the guarding Of Dufln and OIL
weller was indeed a wonder to be-
hold. Henke especially showed up
we'll in this contest, and If he con-
tinues to improve during the next
few weeks as he has in the past he
will be a never-miss all-champion
center. His long reach assists him
greatly when it comes to fighting
under the basket for the ball and
many of his baskets are made aft

"GoOd Morning Judge''

IF anybody were to ask me to de-
 scribe MT. Shep Camp, the big
 buxom. handsome, clever. comedian who is playing "The Magistrate" in Good Morning Judge,' I'd say: He could elucidate trusts deep deal
 ings.
 UnraveI dark designs of millionaires, Dance with delight on anybody's feel
 ings,
 Divorces, murders. quaint and marvel
 ous stealings,
 All crimes to him were everyday af-
 fairs.
 His rhetoric was apt, his conscience
 null.
 The only sin for him was to be dull
 Yes-thats the keynote of his char acter-never to be dull-and he just couldn't be-not to save his life-no: not even if he tried with both hands. ' as they say in the immortal Alice"
 I'd never met MT. Camp until yester- day--although I have heard of him from everybody it seems to me that I've ever known-and ohl such wonder ful things as they've said about him for you know everybody knows him that nice Georgia boy with the smiling eyes and the rosy cheeks and the fascinating manners of the true south ern gentleman.
 Listen people; Shep Camp Tve known him five minutes now so we'll leave off the "Mr') came from West Point Ga, and grew up round Atlanta ways where everybody adores him and then suddenly oh! but wait; I'll let him tell you about it himself. for this rol licking, good humored happy, brim- full of-fun comedian is just the same "off the stage as he is 'on' and "on"-wel he is a scream" a real "whoop." ant keeps you laughing from the momen that he yields to the tempting of hi, gay young step-son to see that naught. night life of the town, until the cur tain falls on the last act.
 Didn't know anything about judge or magistrates or anything of tha sort" said MT. Camp when l ask ct him if it came easy to him to portra. the role of Sir Arthur Wing Pinero'a "Night-off, Magistrate ''On the other hand my father was a hotel man. ant !. of course, in that way met all the theatrical folk who came our way ant from the beginning I think a bee mus; have got to buzzing In my bonnet one of those nice stinging little theatri cal bees that wont let go until he ha. stung you good and proper, because always wanted to go on the stage.
 The result was that I started out il a minstrel show.H Mir. Camp continued as he told me tfe sad story of his life : Then I went into vaudeville-black face again--and sang and danced my self to a frazzle-"

And T am not ashamed either of my weight or of the fact that I'm a comedian. I used to sort of hate being called funny be- fore the war, but believe me, my friend for nine and a half months I trayeled round with the show, Love of Mike during the war times, going from can tonment to cantonment and when I saw those poor boys--homesick and heart sick. I was powerfully glad that l had a sense of humor left, to make them smile and forget their troubles

Commission Sets Hearing of Birmingham Water Company

 22l-2 First National Ranh RniIdinn

Montgomery, October S.-(Special )-The Birmingham Water Company today re- quested the public service commission to grant an order permitting it to make increases to the water consumers in Bir- mingbam. The commission immediately set the case for November l and notified the City Commission of Birmingham which will be interested. The companys petition was short and merely recited that it was not obtaining a reasonable return on it's investment, and that it de- sires to have such rates as, in the opinion of the public service commission, are necessary for the continued rendition of the service to which consumers are en- titled. The petition also recited the fact that it's contract with the city of Bir- mingham with regard to rates and charges will expire December 3l 1920. and that it desires to have the new rates made effective January 1. 1921.

but I think that was only on account of my size. Tragedians are lean and hun gry and Cassius like in appearance. bad tempered and pessimistic, while comedians are fat and sassy and have nice homes and wives have a good time and give lots of pleasure to people, ant that's the biggest thing after all"
 Up in the little theatrical colon, where I live" Mir. Camp said, "at Rye New York, where Ethel Barrymore, Vir. ginia Harmed and William Courtney, William Courtleigh and a delightful little coHrie live-we thoroughly en. joy ourselves and after I have playet two or three more plays like Good Morning. Judge, I'm going to retire and live there the rest of my life.''
 And do tell me have you ever en joyed any of those nice litle jamborees like The Magistrate enjoys in youl play7- l asked curiously.
 Have I?'' said the delectable MT. Camp. 'T can't count 'em and maybe that's one reason I have been able to get away with the role as well as ] have, for person who has never done those ethingecertainly couldn't. There is nothing more digIfied than a judgt and to see him out on a lark is simply Ireposterous and too funny for words The play has moral too-'
 And what is it?' I asked.
 Its not a bad moral either Mr Camp said
 ''Then tell me what it is" I begged
 '1f you want to have a good time DON'T" he said promptly.
 Well, it's pretty hard these days tt have one of those old-fashioned good times like we used to-before-be- fore--'
 Yes, know-before prohibition" he supplied the missing word But let me tell you how smart I was. Two years to the day before my uncle, Sena- tor Morris Shepard of Texas got away with that stuff about prohibition ] went on the water wagon He de- clared he introduced the bill for my sweet sake, but I got ahead of him The day Good Morning. Judge opened on Broadway (and by the way. staged the play and have never missed one years ago) I swore off and have care l for prohibitionT'
 Tell me about some of the big shows you've played in after that min : streI show start-back wonder over in Georgia I asked
 well, there was The Travelling Salesman which played for two years taking it to Australia; The Round up following Maclyn Arbuckle, Love O Mine and now Good Morning, Judge. In the mean time I wrote and presented Wine, Women and Song on Broadway and I have a comedy that is ready for production on Broadway now"
