Defeats Alderman in Rogers Billiard Tournament By Making High Run of 26 Balls.

 The game stood 123 to 94 and for a time it looked as though Alderman, with the 123 chalked up in his favor, was about to clean up. Soccoly made five and left Alderman safe On the next play Soccoly got a break and made the high run of 26. winning the game.

children are generally put back in

This may not be the case where

but they are very few. I know of

whole films we think are too bad
to be shown at all are given with
out restriction to the children of the

However accurate his statement may be as TO the present, We

TIME coNQUERS TWO MIGHTY ARMIES

THE Grand Army o. the Republic opens its annual reunion in In
dianapols, today.
Later. in October, the United Confederate Veterans gather
at Chattanooga.
IL is tragic that these possibly will be the last reunions Of the
Boys in Blue and the Boys in Gray. Old age is sounding taps.
The average age Of the soldiers OF the northern army during the
Civil War was %. In the south il was lower. Fiftysx years have
passed since Lee surrendered at Appomattox. SO the age of Civil
War veterans must average so years.
The g. A. X. was organized in 1866, with all the vigor and en-
fhusiasm Of the American Legion. In 1890 it reached its peak MEM
bership OF 409s4 ASS. In 1917 only 1888 members remained alive.
Now they have dwindled to less than $1,000.
The Boys in Blue are passing, on their march into eternity, at so
rapid a pace that nine years hence the last one may be gone. That
will be taps for a mighty army that had 2T7sy00O enlstments and re-
enliaments
The United Confederate Veterans have dwindled to a member
ship of only SOCIAL that is left Of the Confederate army of 6i0-
DOC, an army so valorous and efficient that is sueeumbed to superior
forces only after four years of conflict and starvation.
As the nation honors the Boys in Blue and the Boys in Gray, il
must be a comforting satisfaction for the old soldiers TO look about
al the powerful Union that has risen since the Civil War. The north
honors the southern soldiers and the south hOnors the northern We
ierans. Time has welded. the once opposing arneis into an indis-
soluble one.
