BOOST
THRIFT DRIVE


Next week will be observed az
thrift stamp week" in the schools
of Rock Island. Superintendent
10. C. Fisher is in receipt of let
ter from the government savings
organization OF the treasury de-
partment requesting the coopera-
ton Of the schools In carrying out
the governments thrift program.
Teachers and principals are be-
ing asked to give talks on econ
omy, and there will be special eff
fort made to enlist the interest OF
the children in buying thrift
stamps. Posters will be placed in
the various school rooms, and the
emphasis of the entire week will
be laid on the thrift campaign.
The treasury department asks
that teachers point out to the
school children the great need OF
| the government for the revenue
from the stamp sales, as well as
the moral gain to the individual in
! the lessons Of sacrifice and econ
omy.
Special Speaker.
A special speaker may be pro-
cured for the week to talk at the
schools, on the theme of thrift.
While a thrift campaign has
! been conducted in the schools fol
some time, and pupils are respon'
sible for the sale of a l-rge mum
Der of thrift stamps, an endeavo1
will be made to surpass all pre-
vious work along this line this
week.
1t is thought that the enlistment
of the interest of school children
is one of the best ways of spread
ing the propaganda of economy
and converting the nation to the
practice of thrift.

that Thomas p. Gore be dismissed

in an impassloned speech at a meet
ing Of Scott Ferris supporters at the
courthouse, here.
Il am proud that can cast vote

am proud that can vote for man
of the caliber of Scott Ferris. He is
the kind of man women like to sup.
port. He is clean, he is good and
he is true to his principles.
Mrs. Choate caused ripple of
laughter when she said that the fact
that Ferris was handsome was not
against him but for him. Women
like a fine picture to have a good
frame, they like for their books to
have handsome binding and so 1t is
that they appreciate an outstanding
in a good man.
Our own family" said Mrs
Choate, gave a splendid bunch of
boys to the army and two of them
never returned. We must keep faith
with the young American manhood
and to do it must destroy Gore politi-
cally We all remember how he stood
in the way of our glorious victory,
how he hindered when he ought to
have helped. Gore must net repre-
sent us again in the United States

Melvin Cornish was another speak

NO DECISION ON
GAME CALLED IN
NINTH WITH ENID
Acting President Brill Says viii
Hand Down Decision Tonight;
Did Not Come to chckasha As
Was Scheduled Today.

That no decision has been made
with regard to the outcome of the
Enid-Chickasha game of Tuesday
July 6, when Umpire Goes called the
game in the last half of the ninth
with the score tied and Chickasha
man on second, was the statement
OF Chas. j. Brill, acting president or
the Western association in tele.
phone conversation today.
Brill was to be In Chickasha today
to meet the baseball men here and
to collect evidence in the case but
he stated by phone that he could
possibly do no good here as he had
talked with Chickasha representa-
tives in his office, had taken the re-
port of Manager Pettigrew and of
Umpire Eddie Goes and was waiting
on the report OF Manager Ted War
ing.
The acting president stated that
he was considering an order placing
the players in the same position
that they were when the jumps called
the game That is, with Campbell
pitching for Enid, with one man out
for Chickasha, with Kitterman on
second and with Kennedy and Petit
grew following in the regular bat
ting order. Now that Kennedy has
left the club, it is not known who
would be sent in to hit for him, or
whether his time at bat would be
passed allowing Pettigrew to hit
with McMullen following. II this
decision is reached, Brill said, the
teams would be ordered to play the
game out If another decision is
reached, the game will have to be
played over from the start.
Brill criticised the action of the
umpire in calling the game when he
did, stating that 1t was mighty poor
Judgment He stated however, that
the time for calling the game as an
nounced by the umpire to the Off
cial scorer would have to stand.
The umpire stated to the official
scorer, not at the opening of the
game, but about the fifth or sixth
inning, that the game would be call
ed at s o'clock. Brill also admitted
that the umpire had no right to an
nounce the time for calling the game
without first having reached decis-
Ion with the managers of the two
clubs, wherefore, his announcement
to the official scorer doesn't amount
to much unless it can be establish
ed that this was the agreement
reached by the rival managers and
the umpire.
In this, Chickasha will have one
against two. That is, Manager Pet
tigrew states that the game was to
be called at 5:15, the usual time.
Umpire Goes states that the agree
ment was to call the game at 8 and
will without doubt declare
that the time for calling the game
was o'clock
Brill made no announcement as to
The disposition OF the cases of Pet
tigrew and Umpire Goes for fighting.
