SCHOOL ELEVENS
READY FOR FRAY
Catholic High Out for Revenge
on West Catholic for
Previous Defeats
THEIR THIRD MEETING

West Catholic and Catholic High will
meet on the gridron tomorrow after
noon In their third annual game. The
contest will take place at Cahlll Field,
and is booked to start at . 80. This
Is the big game of the season for these
two institutions, and from present in-
dicatlons the tussle promises to be the
best Of all.
In their two previous engagements
the boys from Broad and Vine streets
have been unfortunate, as their young
rivals from Chestnut street have de-
featcd them on both occasions, the first
time 40 and last year 1871. Due TO
this situation. Catholic High is surely
out for revenge, and West Catholic IS
equally anxious to win. for a victory
League championship. while a defeat
will practically eliminate the West Phil
adcphans.
The West Catholic lads thus far have
proved themselves better scoring ma
chine than their rivals. Catholic High
is keyed up to u high pitch of expec-
fancy; it IS its first league game, and
they are n | full of fight, which is half
Of the battle.
West Catholic will enter the fray
minus star player, John McConaghy,
left end. who broke his wrist in the
WcnOnah game. and will be out for the
rest of the season. However, Coach
Quinlan is fortunate in having at least
four or five substitute ends, all of whom
are capable.
The choice for McConaghy's place
will BE- between "Pud" McHenry and
Jim Blake. The former is but shade
below McConaghy in playing ability.
while If big Jim Blake uses his 10
pounds, and his six feet three inches to
advantage there will be no stopping him.
The rest of the lineup will be virtu-
ally the same as in previous games with
either Cunningham or Mullin calling the
signals, and Bicrling and Mcdonnell as
helpmates in the backticld. Neville will
be at right end, IIakc and Giblin Mt
tackles, Captain Bcrkcry and Dough-
crty ut guards and Geyer at center.
Catholic High will depend upon the
speedy Vince McNally TO do the greater
share of the offensive work, especially
the end runs and the forward passing.
The fullback, Jim Higgins, vii be n
dangerous man for the Blue and White
forwards to stop, as he is shifty. fast
and knows how to make the best use
of his weight.
Preparations have been made for
big turnout. The Alumni of both in
Stitutions are loyal in following their
teams and this game especially always
draws capacity crowd.

THE EARNING POWER OF MONEY
Communicated
Editor Smyrna Times:
Dear Sir.

Editor Smyrna Times:
Dear Sir:
A few weeks ago you had an article
entitled, "Some Thoughts on Making
Money" which gave me a good deal
of satisfaction. 1t seems to lay the
foundation for an answer to question
l have so aften propounded to myself,
viz: "HOw is it some men grow 1icn ?"
Wages plus interest at a per cent,
savings and bonds at per cent would
never accomplish the fact in many
times the usual earning span of our
lives, and yet men grow rich, and hon
estly so in very many cases. The an
swer must be upon the fact that
money has a rental value and an earn
ing power.
The enormous increase of the ma
tional wealth and the percentage of
those holding that wealth led me to
think more seriously about the matter
and to investigate in my simple way
somewhat further the reason for the
seeming encongruity. / find the de-
posits of the people lying IN the Saw
ings Bank, alone, are over four bill
lion dollars, to say nothing of the five
and six per cent industrial bonds own
ed by the people. | say bonds, not
stocks. These are being utilized by
banks and capitalists, to be used in
investments bringing all the way from
10 to 100 per cent. according to the
opportunity. 1t seems to me in this
new Democracy Of Finance, panacea
for the troubles of labor, an absolute
provision and guarantee for the chang
ing of the tables of success and failure
as bourn out by statistics of banks and
financial experts, that out of every 10C
persons at 25 to 65 years of age 81
are dependent upon funds or charity

The
Star !.
SPa 81 q
B amer

oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's
early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the
twilight's last cleaning,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
thro' the perilous fight,
Der the ramparts we watched
were so gallantly streaming? !?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our
flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled ban,
ner yet wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the
mists of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in
dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, Ger
the towering steep,
AS it fitfully blows, half conceals,
half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the
mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on
the stream;
Tis the star-spangled banner; oh,
long may it wave
Der the land of the free and the
home of the brave!

fighting for his home and his convic-
tiOnS.
But they were organized! They were
trained!
Organization and training, brought
over 5000 miles of sea, kept them go
ing in a strange and hostile country
where they were greatly outnumbered
by the inhabitants and enabled them
to remain there for eight years!
Individually, the Colonials were
better fighting men than the redcoats !;
collectively, they were not.
With $4,000 trained and equipped
men-half the British number-Wash-
ington might have vanquished the in
vaders as quickly as their regiments
were landed. Given equal training
and equipment with the British, and
their spirit and knowledge of the coun-
try and of craftsmanship would have
done the rest. AT the utmost, it is
unlikely that it would have required
more than two years.
But instead Washington had rag
ged Continentals," half starved, loosely
organized, and equipped with practi-
cally only what they could furnish
themselves.

Historic Yorktown.

Yorktown, Va, one of the Oldest set
Elements in the United States, has been
the scene of decisive events both in
the War of the Revolution and in the
Civil war, consecrating it's soil to the
memory of great deeds. Naturally,
Yorktown contains many places of his
toric interest, not the least of which
is the ruins of the old fort which
played a significant part in the sur
render Of CORVALLIS and his army to
Washington. 1t was the 1attle which
closed the War of the Revolution and
created the United States as a ma
tion. A monument marks the spot
where the sword of CORVALLIS was
handed to Washington's representative,
General Benjamin Lincoln. In the Ma
tional cemetery maintained at York

and American soldiers who fell in the

Debt to
Lafayette
. - as5S 8 d .GS s

Whether you have been there or are
planning to 60 here's a story of Val
ley Forge you will want to remember.
l give it as it was told by a writer in
Our Dumb Animals:
The incident am about to relate, oc-
cured in 1924, during Lafayette's last
visit to this country. Forty years had
passed since his promise to Washing
ton to return as his guest. He was
now nearly 20 years old, but his heart
try as in those earlier days when he
had fought for its liberties.
A brilliant reception was under way.
A slowly moving line of stately guests
passed by Lafayette, who greeted each
with courtly grace. Presently there ap-
preached an old soldier, clad in a worn
Continental uniform. In his hand was
an ancient musket, and across his
shoulder was thrown a small blanket,
Or rather a piece of a blanket.
On reaching the marquis the vet
eran drew himself up IN the stiff fash
ion of the old-time drill and gave the
military salute. AS Lafayette made
the return signal, tears started to
his eyes. The tattered uniform, the
ancient f1intlock, the silver-haired sol
1ier, even older than himself, recalled
the dear past,
do you know me?" asked the sol
dier.
mo, cannot say that do" was the
frank reply.
do you remember the frosts and
SHOWS of Valley Forge?"

And where are the foes that so vaunt-
ingly swore
That the havoc of war and the bat
ties confusion
A home and country should leave US
no more?
Their blood has washed out their
foul footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and
slave
From the terror of fight or the gloom
of the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in tri-
umph doth wave
Der the land of the free and the
home of the brave.
Oh, thus be it ever when freemen
shall stand
Between their loved homes and the
wars desolation,
Blest with victory and peace, may
the heaven rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made
and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our
cause it is just,
And this be our motto-"In God is
our trustw
And the star-spangled banner in tri-
umph shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home of the brave.

Mother Rabbit Kills Snake.

Mount Vernon, nl.-That even the
timid rabbit will fight in defense of its
young was proved by NJ. e. Lalby of
Elk Prairie township, who saw a moth
er rabbit in a life or death conflict
with a black snake three feet long.
The snake had attacked the nest Of
young rabbits nearby and the mother
had come to their rescue. Dalby went
after a club to help the rabbit, but
when he returned she had torn the
snake in pieces with her claws and
sharp teeth.

The Spirit
Of 1875


Some 140 years ago, in what was
then the nucleus of the United States,
every man and boy owned a musket
and knew how to use it
They were skilled in woodcraft
knew their own country and could
bring down any game within range
with one shot.
Yet in all the terrible years of the
Revolutionary war it took 250,000 of
them to defeat 10000 invaders.
The British could not shoot as well
and neither did they possess the spirit
of the American colonist, who was

Should Be commemorated.

independence day lives in the hearts
of the people, rather than in specta-

spirit, whether there are parades or
fireworks or pageants of any kind. 1t
requires no noisy demonstration to
keep it active as an influence for good
citizenship. And yet it is good for the
people to get together on that day and
commemorate it in some fashion, to
utilize it as a stimulus to their best
sentiment.

' Moving further east on the world
map, one finds equally unpleasant con-
ditions and prospects, both on the
Russian border and in Turkey. With
the coming of summer soviet Russia
has regained Its cockiness. In the
councils Of the leaders, it is reported,
Lenin and others who were inclined
to relative conservatism were out
voted and Trotzky and his fellow radi-
calls were given their way. If dis
patches from that part Of the world
are to be believed, their way will lead
to another great attempt to invade
and sovietize the countries on Rus
sia's western borders, and already
huge armies are being massed for the
enterprise. These troops are well
drilled, often by former German Off
GERS, and have ample supplies of arms,
ammunition and food Their morale
is said to be fair, owing to the care
given them and their families by the
government.
In what used to be the Turkish en-
pire, both the Turkish nationalists and
the Bolshevists are so active that the
allies are becoming alarmed. This is
evidenced by the change Of their atti-
tude toward the warfare which the
Greeks are carrying on against the
Turks. King Constantine, who was
being left to do the best he could
alone, now is receiving some encour-
agement and indirect aid. The Brit
ish, for instance, have taken over the
Ismid defenses, thus releasing a con-
siderable body of Greek troops to take
part in the new offensive which will
: be launched by the Greeks before
long. Also the allies have given the

Diplomatic settlement Of the vari-
GUS questions pending between the
United States and Japan, without the
necessity of submitting any Of them
to the council Of the League of Ma
tions or any other international body,
is near at hand, according to Wash
ington dispatches. Secretary of State
Hughes and Ambassador Shidehara
have been negotiating to this end,
treating the disputes as an integral
problem. If an agreement is reached,
it is understood, the cable privileges
on zap will be internatiOnalized,
though Japan may still control the
island under her mandate. The basis
for settlement of the immigration is
sue probably will be that of a
strict exclusion of the japanese la
boring class and adequate protection
for japanese property rights already
acquired in the United States. 1t is
believed Japan will promise to get out
