STRONG GREENv|LLE
ELEVEN BRIN GS
LOCALS 1ST DEFEAT
BELONGS LIGHT ELEVEN UN-
EQUAL TO ATTACK OF
HEAVY OPPONENTS

The local football warriors fell
under the attack of the heavy and
powerful Greenville team, Friday to
the tune of 35 to 0. While there was
never any doubt as to the compara-
tive strength of the teams, the steady
and consistent defence in loosing
game, which made the clever Green
vile backs work for their counters
showed that the green local line is
steadily improving and not at all
likely to go to pieces.
Greenville started with two touch
downs in the first quarter, but the
locals tightenei up and held them to
one in each of the following quarters
Belongs linesmen were faster and
more aggressive than the heavier
Greenvillites, but could not begin to
match them in power. What the vis-
itors lacked is speed, they made up
in the way in which they used their
weight to advantage.
Captain Skellenger's punting help
ed to keep the visitors back from the
local goal line at several points. Oc-
casionally. McKiddie's off tackle
plunges would net his team the need
ed ten yards, but it was always di-
fficult to repeat the trick.
Belding has not seen so powerful
team on its field in years as the
$50 pound aggregation which trotted
onto the field Friday. The locals
were not abe to try forward passes
because they never got far enough
out of their own territory with the
ball in their possession. Greenville
di little fumbling.

Home at Eveningtide

They are bringing them back from over the seas,
Back from the fields where the poppies grew;
Crimson red, Ger the honored dead
Who died that world might be born anew.
You remember the day, when they marched away
catch in your throat they passed you by;
But your heart sang out at their measured tread
For they were of Gods purpose high.
They are bringing them back to rest in the soil,
They sprang to defend when country cried,
For her sons to save in that awful hour
And none shall say that in vain they died.
So we pause and salute their star-draped shroud
And murmur prayer for their resting souls;
Dream on in the land Ger the sunset hills;
JUST boys asleep, while the flag enfolds.

CITY ELECTION
WAS UNUSUALLY
QUIET 0CCURANCE
HEAVY SNOW STORM AND IN
DIFFERENCE is RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE VERY LIGHT VOTE

When one considers that only 81
citizens cared enough about how the
election went to get out and vote, the
real quietness of the election begins
to dawn and while the heavy snow
storm may have had great deal to
cd with the fact that but very few
votes were cast, still the main fact
was apparently the Indifference of
the people as to how things went.
The only contest on the ticket was
that between Dennis Hogan and
Ernest Shawley, running for alder
man. Mr.. Hogan defeated Mr.. Shaw
ley in their home ward, the First,
but the Second and Third rolled out
enough votes so that in the total,
Shawley received a majority of 40:
Other officials elected were Fred
McCue in the Third ward and j.
Edgar Stanton in the Second ward.
The usual run of freak votes were
cast and many man became IA
nous by receiving one vote for con-
stable or some other office.

Armistice day and Thanksgiving day

ANCIENT AND MODERN LIGHT
Users Of Electricity Today Read With
a Smile Of the "Link Boy" of
Old England.

A couple Of centuries ago permanent
street lights in the large cities Of the
world were almost unknown. In old
England link boys" carrying torches,
were hired by gentlemen to light the
way for them when they went out in
the evening in London. When lamp
posts were placed in the city streets
the link boys occupation was gone.
With progress of time lanterns light
ed by candles or by oil were succeeded
by gas or by electric lights. Every
city Of the civilized world normally
has its principal streets lighted at
night, and the link boy today is as su
perfuous as the sedan chair.
In a similar way the famous caves
of the world such as the Mammoth
cave of Kentucky and Luray cavern
in Virginia were formerly lighted by
candles carried by guides who con-
Quoted travellers. But today practical
ly all these subterranean places that
are visited by sightseers are equipped
with electric lights, and instead of car
lying DdS VI CdHuleS llle Sulue lHtIe
ly turns on or off a series of electric
switches as he conducts a party
through the cave.
Railroad tunnels were formerly IN
lighted, excepting the lights in the
trains that passed through them, but
today tunnels, as well as stations, are
lighted by electricity.-Boston Com

LEARNED SECRET OF INDIANS
Boys Chance Discovery Revealed How
AborieInes Constructed Their
Bone Arrow Heada.

Gushing, an eminent authority in
matters pertaining to the Indians, has
told US how, as q boy, he learned the
way Indians made their flint arrow
heads.
He had unearthed a beautiful har-
pooh of bone. He had a toothbrush
with him, and the bone handle Of this
he chopped off and ground down on a
piece of sandstone to make q harpoon
Of his own; but he could not grind
such clean-cut barbs as those Of the
relic.
The boy then took his fiint-scales
and chips and set to WORK with them.
Tie flint cut the bones away, but left
he work rough. Then accidentally
re made discovery, for no sooner
had he begun to rub the bone trans
TerseIy on the flint than the bone cut
Ae flint away. Not jaggedly, as his
a&mmer-stone would have clipped it,
ut in long. continuously narrow sur
ace burrows wherever the edge
as caught in the bone at q certain
angle.
He never finished that harpoon. He
curned it about and used 1t as an ar
row cutter, by tying it to a little rod
ii wood with shoestring. He had
found out how the Indians made ar
row heads.

~Look OLDER THAN LONDON"
Many American Cities suggest ASe

Lucas, Visitor From Europe.

Looking back on It all, I realize
that America never struck me as
new country although Its inhabitants
often seemed to be new people
writes e. V. Lucas in the Outlook.
The cities are more mature than the
citizens. New York. Chicago, Boston,
Philadelphia, Washington-all have an
air of permanence and age The build
ings, even when most fantastic, sug-
gest righteousness or at least sta
bility; nor would the presence OF
more ancient structures increase this
effect.
To the eye of the ordinary English
man, accustomed to work In what we
call the city, in Fleet street, in the
Strand,@in Piccadilly or in Oxford
street, New York would not appear
to be a younger place than London,
and Boston might easily strike him
as older. Nor is London moro than
q little older, except in spots, such as
the Tower, and the Temple and the
Abbey and that little Tudor row In
Holborn, all separated by vast tracts
Of modernity.
Indeed, l would almost 60 further
