RUTLAND WANTS TO
MEET ST. ALBANS
High School Of Marble City Expects
Hard Game When it Meets
Bellows Falls

RUTLAND, Oct 20.-The football at
traction for Rutland fans this week will
take place Saturday afternoon on st.
Peters field, when the strong Middlebury
high school eleven comes here to tackle
"0Brien's maneaters. Rutland should
win this game handily.
Coach O'Brien is putting the boys
through strenuous practice as he wants
them in the pink of condition in case the
Middleburyite's should prove little
stronger than advance dope has figured
them.
Rutland is the most talked of school
football team in the state. The decisive
victory over Spaulding high last Satur-
day indicates that the locals have a
wonderful machine.
One week from Saturday on st. Peter 5
field Rutland will meet one of the best
high school football aggregations that
wsS eyer got together. the Bellows Falls
high school eleven. This must be a good
team as last week it scored a victory over
the Brattleboro high school team by the
decisive score of 81 to 0. Bellows Falls
is extremely anxious to win from Rut-
land as it will give them a good claim
ON. the scholastic championship of the
state. which has been held by Rutland
for the past two years
The team with the best reputation in
the northern part of the state is the St
Adams high school eleven. Some prom
ineht Rutland football fans endeayored
to arrange with Principal H. G. Dickin-
son of ST. Albums high school to have his
team come here on ArThistice day under
the auspices of Rutland post, American
Legion.
They were willing to give the Franklin
county school aggregation a good guaran-
tee, but as yet they have been unable to
arrange a game. Many local football
fans will remember that st. Adams us
1ally waits till the end of the season and
then tries to arrange a game. Rutland
is willing and would like to play the st.
Adams team either on Armistice day or
on November %

COPPER URGED FOR
 CAR LICENSE PLATES

PHOENIX. Aug. IA request has come to the office of the secretary of state from the copper producing re- gions of the south for the use of cop per in the making of automobile Ii. cense plates, not only as a means of widening the market for copper, but as an advertisement of one of the pro- ducts of the state and for the setting up of an industry within the state.
 Unfortunately the request came too late. A contract was made last May for the plates. which. it is understood have now been completed and are ready for shipment No doubt Ari zona copper will be used next year in the making of the plates. and is thought that they will cost less than plates now do. considering the high freight rates on them.
 At the Ajo mines. where the cleo trolytic process is used. plates can be made of any thickness desired. so that there would be nothing to do but to stamp them with the designs and figures required That could be done at the mines
 So many plates are now required about s0.000, two for each car-that the bulk and weight of the shipment from far eastern points where plates have been purchased. is enormaus.
