If the executive committee Of Brindell s
organization. consulted with Brindell
and advised the heads OF the city gov
eminent that there would be no inter
ference with the carrying out of the
terms of the contract by Brindells or
ganization. There had been a rumor
that trouble would develop over the use
Of open shop steel in the construc-
ton.
The fact that James p. Holland
president OF the State Federation Of
Labor. has succeeded Brindell on the
Mayors housing board. from which
Brindell was forced to leave two weeks
ago, was announced Yesterday.
BrindeH's Power Great.
The further the investigation OF the
committee and its counsel goes into the
affairs of Brindell. the larger does he
loom In the organized labor of this state.
and at the present time his influence
and domination are said TO extepd to
numerous organizations which are not
connected with his own.
There is much comment about the
Building Trades Councils book. which is
printed and circulated under special
privilege granted by the State Fedora
ton. and for which the State Federation
is said to receive $500 a year.
This book contains about 800 pages, of
which approximately gao are devoted to
advertising at 800 page. so the total
amount realized from advertising should
be S24 900. or very nearly ten times the
sum which the State Federation receives
from 1t.

% HALL we have football at Park

% That was the big question OF
- the fall season as 1t had been the
big question Of spring and summer
and 1t wasn't answered till the all
round athletic meeting the second
week OF school.
At that time the principal put the
matter squarely up TO the boys Tor
their decision.
Boys" he said. after he had talked
bit about the value OF athletics
You're not very old and you're not
very heavy. and football players are
supposed 10 be both. But II you are
willing to play by the rules; to study
a game that shall be as open as pos
sible. I'm willing to let you try II for
this year. But what we want TO de-
velop at Park Junior High. is not the
heaviest boy who can push his way "a
goal. but the most skillful player
who by his head work can help win

what the boys hoped he would say. for
he turned and called the cheer leader
and asked for three cheers for the
team. And the school gave 1t with a
will too-shouting THE Teaml Teaml
TEAM till the air shook with the Vi
brations.
That cheer was something OF Joke
TOO. for who would ever think OF
cheering for a team that was not yet
formed?
After that football was the one big
topic OF discussion. Boys neglected
"fooling around" at each others
houses and stayed for practice; they
cut out candy and sodas because the
director said no boy was ht 10 get on
the team IL he couldn't keep training
and training rules definitely ordered
no eating between meals.
Albert Hart hadn't much hope Of
making the team. In tho first place
he was new boy" at the school. his
family had moved to the neighborhood
from a distant city and he didn't know

lonesome to have only a classroom ac-
quaintance with the fellows you would
like to know ever so well.
Then too. Albert wasn't very big for
his age. though he was strong and well
and had a finely developed set of
muscles which he knew how to use.

possible.
The game with Grant High was 10

small grandstand at the east end OF
the field was flled and students a-foot
and in car we're drifting In to stand on
the side lines. The first game OF the
season was 10 have a fine crowd. there
was no doubt OF that.
With a cheer as the whistle blew
he game began. Through the FIRST
quarter the boys OF Park Junior High
played carefully. watching signals but
feeling n little TOO excited 20 make
The most OF chances they had while
the ball was theirs.
In the second quarter Grant had the
bail practically all the time and Park
was on the defense. Ut was a good
thing their captain was a general Tor
no needed all the head work he had 10
keep his men lined up and prevent
Grant from scoring.
At the end OF the half the score was
TO 0 and both crowds OF rooters were
yelling themselves hoarso cheering.
The third quarter passed. tough
battle and not score made by either
side.
The fourth quarter was we'll under

three downs had been played without

there was little chance OF getting Il

captain under his breath. Guess II

NOVEMBER


AY OVEMBER frost is in the air
w The harvest hay is mown;
And in the fields lay ripened
grain
Where seeds last spring were sown.
The leaves have turned 10 brown and
gold
And many trees are bare;
The birds have flown to warmer elimes
Where sunshine foods the air.
And all without is bleak and drear
The grass is scared and brown;
And all the ground is Uttered with
Dead leaves that have blown down.
But in the home the fires glow
And near its cheerful blaze
The children plan for winters sports.
And dream Of summers plays.
And to each mind there comes the
thought
OF all the things that bless
Our lives. and there is offered up
A prayer Of ihankfulness.
