game during the first half. Not
only did he puncture the Staleys
several times, but his defensive
work was little short of marvellous.
Sid Nichols had to be carried
from the field in the third quarter
when his leg was twisted in a bad
mixup. He wanted to return in the
fourth quarter when Walter Brind-
ley, who had relieved him, was car
ried off with leg out of commits
sion, but the Staleys refused to sub
NIT to the request. This brought
Bridgeford into the affray at half
back while Councilman shifted to
quarterback
Among the other Islander casual
ties were Walter Buland, giant
tackle, another victim of an injured
leg. Earps, former Monmouth col
lege center, who was more than
holding his own with Traitor in the
first half, went out from a cut over
one eye in the third quarter, max
ing four Independents who had to
be carried off the field. Rock Is
land took 20 players on the trip and
20 were used by necessity.

Without Sternaman, former uli-
nois halfback, it is doubtful if the
Staleys could have made even a
good showing against the Independ-
ents under any circumstances. This
brilliant player alone covered 143
yards by his great open field run
ming He circled the ends and dash
ed of tackle for gain after gain.
The celebrated Harley-Stinch-
comb combination failed TO mater
ialize to advantage for the Staleys,
at least SO far as Stinchcomb, all
American of last year, was con-
cerned. Pete was relieved from the
quarterback duties at the end of
the first half. His showing had
been disappointing.
Harley failed to gain any sub
stantial distance against the indie
pendents at any stage OF the game.
In fact, he was thrown for losses
number of times in attempting to
circle the ends. In his accurate
passing. however, the StaIeys en-
toyed an asset that told heavily
against the Independents.
Walter Oliver" Pearce, who took
Stnchcomb's place in the second
half. was responsible for the Staley
victory in no small way. He seem

TO GET MASTERY OF GLOOM
Rainy Sunday Should Be Made ocea-
sion FOR Improvement of the Mind
by Reading.

Sunday was gloomy day, as far
as the weather had to do with 1t, but
where there's sunshine In your soul,
never mind the weather." philOSo-
phized the Palmer Rustler in a recent
issue.
"O'er these Understanding plains
shines one eternal day, where God in
light forever reigns and scatters night
away" sang the old hymnist. And why
should the hymnist alone feel that way
about it? Clouds are thin walls just
above the earth. Beyond them is ever
lasting light. Gloom, which has an I'M
comfortable way Of settling down like
fog upon our minds, is even thinner
than the clouds, for the clouds are real,
whereupon gloom is but dark Pigment
Of the imagination. Most people re-
gard a rainy Sunday as the last word
In temperamental depression. but as
matter of fact, II a rainy Sunday Is
properly handled. adequately treated.

rainy Sunday is to first conquer 1t, to
let it know who is master, to COW and
intimidate it. Then get a good book,
or several books, curl up in lighted

those of US who have read hardly any

They spend so much time burrowing

them they must fight for them, so an
ugly giant was set to guard the tree.

wish to find it, too. for the kind of

Approximately One-tenth of the wire
nails manufactured are now cement
coated, according to H. A. Knight, who
writes on the subject to the Iron Age.
The nails are coated by shaking them
up in a hot tumbling barrel with q
compound consisting mainly Of resin
from which they issue with thin,
tough coating which greatly increases
their holding power. The friction OF
the driven nail with the wood melts
the cement and forms a glue, which

Best Grades Really Cheapest.

The purchase of cheap grade of
goods for any serious use. is very poor
economy. Such goods soon give way,
and the service they render, while
they do last, is not satisfactory. To
obtain a given amount of service one
will spend more money on articles Of
cheap grade than upon those that are
better. The obtaining of the same
amount of pleasure and satisfaction
from the use of cheap thing and a
