first half, the local high school basket

Ada last Saturday evening by a score

termination to win the game and gave
the crowd an interesting game to
watch. s.a- : :
Ada made the first basket after sew
eral minutes of play, the locals COM
ing back with a basket in few sec
onds. Ada succeeded in making an
other ringer and free throw while
the Warren team could only add an

proved to be the best one for the Wis
itors when they brought their points
up to total Of II and held the To-
Gals to one field basket. The score
at the end Of the half was IL to +
in favor Of Ada.
The second half took on. an added
interest as both CUNTS showed 9
splurge Of real basket ball that lasted
for the remainder Of the game. Two
field baskets and four free throws
were annexed by the local hoop tos-
sers while Ada was held to one field
basket and two free throws, making

for the locals, making five field bas-
kets and getting seven out Of thirteen

BROOKS FLETCHER,
A HUMAN DYNAMO
Thrills and Inspires Large Audience
!. BY His Lecture on Fools at
High School Auditorium =

T This seasons lecture course came
to an auspiciOuss close last night when
BROOKS Fletcher held a large audi
ence spellbound for an hour and q
half by his inimitable and inspiring
lecture on "FoOls" Mr.. Fletcher is
yeritable human dynamo and scin-
thiates thought sparks with every
word that comes in rapid succession
from lis lips, with every twist of the
facial muscles and with every gesture
that he makes to clinch an argument
and drive home a truth AS word
painter we have not heard his equal,
we Will not attempt to give re
sumo or the lecture, which. must be
heard to be appreciated Suffice it to
say that we now have a much great
err respect for "feols'' than ever be-
fore, Including Henry, Ford and Judge
Ben Lindsey, and other eminent men,
who are included in the "fool' class
by many who consider themselves
wise. Many a person whose ideas are
in advance of his time, or who thinks,
and tries to do something different
from what it has been done before,
and for the benefit Of mankind, is
classed as a fool and derided, ostra-
clsed and opposed, and not until they
are dead and gone, sometimes, does
the world appreciate their efforts.
Mr.. Fletcher spoke to the students
Of the High School and North Star
College at the High School assembly
room in the afternoon His theme
was "Grasshoppers'' and pictured, as
he only can, the flashy character of
a 'grasshopper mind" :
& Coming from the same town as
President Harding, Marion, Ohio,
where they publish rival newspapers,
he had only kind words to say of
Mr.. Harding and he told some stories
that showed the human side of our
