Two More Good p. M. To Go

Saturday the Republican Elk. Com.
met here to help "See" Ellis
Moore out of two more postoffice
muddles-one in Malta; the other
at Stockport. For the former Jap
Barrell was endorsed, and for the
other j. E. Hayes. So far in these
postoffice endorsements. it is not al
ways so much as to which one was
highest on the civil service list, or
who would make the best official.
but which one has worked hardest
in the Republican ranks. The COM
mittee also endorsed H. F. Carter
as a member of the election board
to succeed himself, and gave George
Newman the endorsement for clerk
of the election board.

The first of the week New Way
fixtures were installed in the dry
goods department of the H. White
& Co. store. They are Of quarter
sawed oak, wax finish, and are OF
the very latest design. Fitting in
the shelving are sort of drawers
with glass fronts so not only do
they keep the goods clean, and
handy, but display as we'll. They
utilize the full depth of the shelv-
ing, SO that there is no wasted
shelf room. These fixtures are
made by the Grand Rapids Show
Case Co. They come in sections,
and can be removed, or more added
like sectional bookcase, and in
time 1t is the plan to have the en-
tire store equipped in this handy
up-tO-date fashion.

WAGON co. CLOSES SEASON
WITH HARD FOUGHT GAME

In the hardest fought, closest and
fastest game of the season Wagon
Co., 124 dropped their last game of
the season to the professional Men
del TailOrs of Columbus, here on the
armory floor last Friday night. The
Tailors were first to score with a
field basket, Wagon Co. did not tally
for the first five minutes when F..
Deedrick made his foul throw good.
At the end of seven minutes the
score was tied all. However as
the game proceeded the visitors sue
ceeded in getting in the lead and
holding it, finishing the first half
with score in their favor of 10 to
16.
In the beginning of the second
half with both teams playing their
fastest, and treating the audience to
the swiftest playing, perhaps ever on
the local floor. the Wagoneers not
only held their opponents down but
gained until they tied the score
about the middle of the second half.
The Tailors however soon broke
away and had six point lead. Here
King and Bingham made a couple
of wonderful baskets. This made
the score 27 to 20 in favor of the Wis
itors and with but little time to go
on, it looked as though the game
would finish that way, however in a
most sensational play, Lewis Gagged
a field, thus tying the score 20 all.
1t was during this half that Bingham
had his shoulder put out of place,
which greatly interfered with his
playing But he was game and did
not leave the floor. Had this acci-
dent not occurred, Wagon Co. would
have sailed through with "a, good
safe lead. After short interval the
five minute overtime period COM
menced. The crowd was almost
wild. The Tailors missed their two
free throws. King and Deedrick
each bucketed a field, but Christy,
forward for the Mendels broke lose
and in rapid succession made three
fields The final score was Wagon
Co. 33; Mendel Tailors, 81. At the
game here March the 8th between
the tive teams the company team
won by score of 20 to 26. These
scores give an idea of how close
Gagon Co. comes to being as good if
not better than the Mendel Tailors,
which is a strong professional team.
Out of 18 games this season., some
CT which were with mighty fast
teams, our players won Is and it
is no idle boast to claim for them
the championship of southeastern
Ohio. Good as our boys have play
ed, it was all done without coaching
or training. With proper coaching,
if ia hard to conceive what a record
they would have made and how far
their basketball fame would have
extended.

ARMENIAN MUSIC
TO BE MARKED BY
MOREJOYOUS TONE

Constantinople-A radical change
in the national music of the Ar
menian people is being planned by
the native teachers who are in
charge of the educational work of
the orphanages in the Armenian
soviet republic.
They purpose to eliminate the
mote of sadness and submission"
and substitute a more joyous spirit,
according to L. Ray Ogden, Oak
land, Calf, superintendent of the
American Industrial school where
1900 Armenian orphans are learn
ing native trades.
Many generations of suppress
sion and persecution have left an
indelible impress on, the popular
music and folk songs of the Ar
menian people" said Mr.. Ogden
recently. The native dances,
poems and plays are all in a dis
tinctly minor key which is bound
to have a depressing effect on The
youth Of the country. But with the
dawn of a new freedom, this note
of sadness ought to be changed, so
far as possible, into a spirit of in
spiration and enthusiasm In the
schools, we have agreed to elm
mate some of the most depressing
of the national folk songs, repIac-
ing them with other national mu-
sic revived from the ancient songs
of the shepherds and farmers"
