Battle For

East Side and Fairmont
High School Playing
At South Side

With bands playing, rival stu
dent bodies yelling themselves
hoarse and before the largest
crowd that has assembled at South
Side park since the Wesleyan.
West Virginia game, Frank Ices
Fairmont high school eleven and
John McEinney's East Side war
riors are battling this afternoon
for the city scholastic football
championship OF the season OF
1921.
Following a big parade and
various other "thuse" stunts, the
followers OF the two schools ar
rived at the ball yard shortly af-
ter 8 O'Clock, OF q little more than
30 minutes before the scheduled
time for the kickoff. While the
teams we're getting eleventh hou.
instructions from the coaches and
while they later warmed up pn
the field, the old South Side echo
cd with the spirited cheers OF the
high school boys and girls.
Close followers Of the gridiron
sport who have seen the teams in
action we're unable to venture
prediction on the outcome. One
man declared:
at looks like $3.50 proposition,
and the team that gets the breaks
OF the game will win.
This is the first time that East
Side has had a football team In
the field and the first meeting be-
tween the two schools on the
gridiron. Both teams nre very
highly keyed up for the event.

previous several hours, but after
hearing the story he turned back
and drove home again with Clinton
perched proudly on the seat be-
side him.
Clinton had started out to see
the world, as near as could be es-
timated, about two o'clock yeSter-
day afternoon. He must have gone
down Morgahtown avenue, over
Water street across the old river
bridge where after admirlng tho
shipping in the harbor and wonders
ing very much thereat, he started
to climb the Madison street hui.
Half way up the hill he paused and
gaxed wtstfully Mt the tempting
piles OF big red apples In front OF
a fruit stand. He was long way
from home, was Clinton, and he
was hungry. And there didn't seem
any back door anywhere to which
he could go every half hour OF SO
and get some bread and butter and
jam, which he is accustomed to do
ing ut homo as the spirit moves
him.
AS he stood gazing at the fruit,
q woman noticed him and asked
his name and where was going but
Clinton was tired and hungry and
very shy and only looked down at
his bare feet. A moment he stood,
thus, then tho lower lip began to
dufver and as the tears came, he
was gathered into pair Of mother
ly arms, and taken to the police
station, with q big red apple In his
hand and the pockets OF his over
alls stuffed with peanuts BY the
kindly Italian who presides over
the fruit stand and had witnessed.
the little scene.
a don't know what I'm going to
do with that boy" said Clinton's
mother this morning as she worked
in her kitchen keeping q watchful
eve on Clinton the while as he sat,
perched on the high seat Of daddy's
coal wagon, driving team OF fiery.
untamed steeds, OF his own sizo
and age. Only last week, she said
clinton wandered away and was
afterwcrd found on Pittsburgh ave
nue..
bNt the mother smiled a happy
smile that showed how well pleased
ate was at the return Of "mammaE
boy''-too happy, in fact, to infllct
any punishment on the little run
away who had caused her such
bad couple of hours yesterday.

NcTOBER 27 is the anniver-

viirile man ever in American public
life Theodore Roosevelt.
One Of the. finest things he wrote:
When home ties are loosened, when
men and women cease to regard a
worthy family life. with all its duties
fully performed, and all its respOn-

That, written by T. r. in 1906,

WARTLESS POTATO STILL COMPOUNDS SCIENTISTS,
 MAY ENLIST THE OCCULT I
By Associated Press

Washington, Marchl2.-Mystlc rites of childhood for wart removal. involv- ing shivery midnight visits to lone some spook infested graveyards, the use of a ribbits left hind foot with proper incantations, and the like, may vet be necessary to chase warts off potatoes.
 At least the department of agricul- ture has not so far found other means to do the job. It's official witches have steamed, boiled, dosed and otherwise assailed the wart with inconcluslVe results, according to report just published They have not given up, how ever and still hope to eradicate the plant disease from the country.
 Potatoe wart infection is now liml ted to a small area in Pennsylvania due to a 1912 importation of "spnds which later proved to be undesirable aliens. The experts have tried all sorts of chemical treatment of the soil and even steamed the ground before planting, but without complete sue cess.
