REED SPEAKS
IN FULTON
ON MONDAY
(Fulton Gazetteer

Fulton men who observed the trend
of local politics were Of the opinion
Tuesday that Senator Reeds speech
at Pratt's Theater Monday afternoon
tended to tighten the lines between
The Reed and Long forces in Galloway
county but doubted if Senator Reed
had made many votes for himself in
the county.
THE Reed men seem to be pleased
with the results a supporter of Mr..
Long said, "but so far as | have been
able to learn he did not win over any
supporters in u camp. I have no
doubt he strengthened the faith of
his followers, and on the other hand
! am SUR he made all of us who are
against him stronger in our support
of Mr.. Long"
Another Long mar called attention
to the fact that the most demon
strative persons in Senator Reeds
audience were Republicans. at may
be argued by the Reed men that Reed
will get enough Republican votes to
elect him if he is nominated, but any
one who knows much of politics need
ed only to look over the Republicans
n his audience in Fulton and watch
them applaud his statement when
he attacked the things the Demo-
cratic party stood for in 1920 and
note their silence when he talked
about the Harding administration to
know that Reed is not going to get
many Republican votes in Galloway,
unless it is in the primary" another
said.
Zone thing l have tried to do"
said a third man, "and that is to find
a man who had a son in France dur
ing the World War and is now sup
porting Senator Reed. Doubtless
there are some such men, but l just
rcan't hear of them"

Seats WORKING TO
GET IN CONDITION
FOR BERWYN GAME

With the stone wall line and two
perfect backhelds working in mid
season form. the Hammond Scatenas
are expected to make a grand show
ing against the famous Berwyn
Sportsmen eleven at Harrison Park
Sunday afternoon. This years Sea-
tena aggregation shapes up as
strong as any middle weight team
Hammond has had in years. Most
of the players are men of past ex
perience and they are absorbing the
football fundamentals that Coach
Jones dishes out each evening I'M
der the arc lights at Harrison park.
The Scatenas will have to be in
perfect condition when they face
the Berwyn crew, as the visitors
boast of one of the fastest back
fields in the Midwest league. Last
Sunday Berwyn had a tough job
on its hands at Harvey. but when
the contest was over the famous
Harvey team was on the short end
of a to score. Harvey for years
has had a wonderful football ma
chine.
The visitors are coming to Ham
mond with a strong lineup. Such
able performers as Wilson of Penn

Chaplin OF Nebraska and Van Dyke.
an old Indiana grad. have lead the
Berwyn hopes for several seasons
with over two hundred fans always
hacking the sucker town to the
limit.
Several Perwyn spies were out
last night watching the Scatenas in
their regular workout. but they
must have gone away mad, as
Coach Jones kept all his trick plays
and signals to himself. The regular
lineup which started against the
Englewood Crescents was given a
chance to timber up by running
around the rridiron. while the sec
ond crew was given a sound lecture
on what was expected OF them in
all the games. Several hundred
fans who are the leading boosters
OF the Scauena team were out to
watch their favorites.

that a rooters' club of one hundred
will be organized with a fair dam

Big Tim Murchison looks good to
Lowell fans and in fact Crown Point
will send a large delegation who
thinks that with Murchison pitching
Lowell is sure of victory. The press
in general throughout these three
counties have chosen Lowell and
Kouts as the two strongest teams in
Northern Indiana. with perhaps the
exception of the South Bend Singers
and inasmuch as they have not par
ticipated in any games with teams
throughout this section 1t would be
hard to judge, but if they feel that
they wanted to be represented let

HEALTH
DISBURSEMENT AND HEALTH

Many young people begin life full of
enthusiasm, energy and the brightest
hopes of success. A business or pro-
fessional career has attracted the
young man and the prospect of a hap
by marriage has cheered the maiden.
Bright eyes, rosy cheeks. bounding
pulse, eager appetite and unfailiDg good
nature characterize this period of life.
Dreamless sleep and morning cheer are
other evidences of perfect health.
Oh, these wonderful dreams. What
q thing it is to stand at the gateway
of life and to look forward to all its
prospective joys!
Experience teaches conservatism in
the estimate of prospective blessings
and even fear of the future. 1t is a
little difficult to get old folks pleas
antly excited over coming events. They
have had disappointments and natur-
ally prefer not to have their hopes
raised too high.
But to the young people no prophecy
al be too rosy and no prediction too
extravagant.
am glad this is the rule. No one
of us on the sidelines of life can be-
grudge the anticipation of the hopeful
and confident youth. Bless their dear
toils IL Uof duu 4ii', IL souaS
men and women have all the pleasure
they can. and let us help them to re-
alize all their ambitions.
But, alas. Disappointment are in
store for too many of these lovely
young pepole. Loss of parents, loss of
wealth, loss Of position, death Of dear
ones-there are so many disastrous
things waiting just around the conner.
All these things are bad. but there
is one calamity greater than all the
rest. This is disillusionment.
You have founded all your hopes and
ambitions on one thing. You have pic
tured it and planned for it and dreamed
Of it, but when the great time comes
it fades off into nothing. 1nstead of
stepping onto firm rock. you step upon
a cloud of vapor. At the end of the
rainbow is no pot of gold, but merely
a handful of stones. The person you
counted on with all the faith of your
soul has failed you.
The marriage that was to mean so
much has proved an agony 'of, misery.
