From This Friday A.
tern00n
(Hieh school Correspondentl

Football practice is being contin-
ued at the local high school under
the guidance of Coach Robert S.
Waddell. Workouts will be held
possibly every day until the opening
of the season.
It is the intention Of the coach to
build III a strong machine drilled
in every phase of the great autumn
nal sport. When the team takes the
Geld a week from this Friday all of
the plays planned by the coach
should work to perfection.
Every practice further brings out
the gameness of the respective cam
didates and the coach has been
mighty lucky in regard to injuries
to date particularly inasmuch as
football is being resumed at an In
stitution after a layoff of seven years.
Suits are being ordered for the
varsity squad which will be definitely
picked in a few days. The jerseys
will be of a crimson hue and the
men will be 1ettered as are represen-
tatives of big school and colleges.
To date this week the men have
had twp sessions, one of instruction
in Room LOT at the high school
when the new rules were explained
and the other yesterday when the
first and second teams clashed.

GREAT INTEREST nv BIG SERIES STARTING TO-DAY
Roosevelt Separates TO
Open Court Season
hi Sunday Evening

in the great diamond game since his
high school days. He is considered
one of the most popular players in
Middlesex county today and 1t is
probable he will be reelected cap
tain of the borough quintet before
the start OF the game on Sunday
night.
To Messrs Manner and Jacobowitz
goes the credit for starting the great
court game in Roosevelt. They took
a gamble In attempting the intro
duction of the basketball sport in
the borough and through their man
agerial ability won out. Roosevelt
is one of the greatest sporting towns
in this section of the state, especially
in boxing and baseball and now ia
basketball.
Against the Separates on Sunday
night the Woodbridge team will line
up the strongest possible. Wood
bridge is likewise in the fight for
Middlesex county honors and it is
probable before long an announce
ment will be made regarding the
opening of a home court.

Opens Season at Auditorium
Oct. Ia, Has Work out

The Perth Amboy Five basketball
team displayed a brand of ball at
tho Auditorium last night in a prac-
tice session with a local scrub team
that greatly impressed the large
number of spectators that were pre-
sent. The speed, accuracy of passes
and shooting of the Amboy quintet
dispelled all talk that the Auditor
ium basketeers was q collection OF
individual stars, but on the contrary
stamped the Amboy Five as one of
the best combinations that had ever
played on a local court, represent
ing this city.
Harry Davis, the tall center from
New York City, occupied the pivot
position and after the team had been
informed about the signals was tap
ping the ball at will to the one who
was to get the play. Davis will be a
great asset to the Amboy represen-
tatives, his height and cl%everness
putting him in a class with the best
in the state. Davis, who has signed
a contract for the Perth Amboy Five
declared that he would be seen play
ing in that lineup every Saturday
night for the coming season.
Captain Hank Thomas, Blackis
Regain, Pete Hanson, Rufy Allen and
Charley Sher displayed a brand of
bali that means trouble to all visit
ing teams and in the practice game
last night this combination gave
promise that with a few games under
its belt would be able to stack fore
es with the best.
Hank Thomas and Blackie Regain
occupied the forward positions and
teamed up we'll. Pete Hanson and
Chick Sher held down the guarding
Jobs to perfection. Rufy Allen re-
lieved Sher during the latter part
of the game. Regain, according to
the management, declared las. night
that he also would be seen in the
Perth Amboy Five lineup for the
coming season and that he had nc
intention Of playing in Long tsranch
this season either on Saturday nights
or on holidays.

A PERFECT LADY

The Madison street car was
crowded that evening. The Woman
fortunately had seat. Next to her,
two slender youths, indulging in
pseudo clever remarks with evident
intent of impressing the world with
their maturity, brought an occasion
al smile to the faces of the more
sophisticated passengers. Two girls,
in all the glory of dangling earrings
and brilliant plush turbans, plowed
their way through the massed hu-
mainly until they stood directly in
front of the youths. Said she of the
red hat: you'd think a gentleman
would get up and offer a lady his
seat, wouldn't you, Mamie?"
There was no immediate response
from the youths at whom this was
directed. Then the blonde one said
casually: of / saw lady I'd offer
her my seat, wouldn't you, Bill?"-

The county agent considers
that a goa start has been made
through these meetings toward
the eradication of noxious weeds
and the standardization of our
wheat.
These are two subjects that
should demand the best thought
of very farmer in the county. 1t
is apparent that few men are
really giving these cardinal pro-
blems the attention they should
have. We have a weed law III
the county and notice has been
given by the county commission
ers that the noXious weeds must
be destroyed before they go to
seed. A few men are endeavor-
ing to keep their places free from
this pest but they are fighting
almost a losing battle where they
are surrounded by neighborS
who are doing nothing to con-
troll them. Farmers this is no
trivial matter. We have in this
county some of the worst noXi-
Gus weeds found in the state, and
unless we begin at once to rid our
farms of them we are going to
find our crops materially de-
creasing and the value of land
depreciating. These facts will
be apparent to any of you who
will stop to think of them a min
ute. Weeds scattered through
our grain fields naturally rob
that grain of its required mois-
ture and other substances neces-
sary for its growth and who
wants to own farm muct less
buy one when half the crop each
year is weeds. A little coopera-
ton is all we need now to change
the spelling from failure to sue
cess. We have made a start. A
few men are willing to go if their
neighbors will go with them.

The COW is a nobull and kline

looks after her is called a cowherd.

Cows exist by means Of oxygen in

The COW has been introduced into
song. There is an old song called
the SOLDIERS Steer" This was
written in Beef Flat, as was also
that very pathetic ballad, For
Heifer and Heifer." To call a COW
an OK is to make bull. Clutches
for cows are called acoustics. A
COW likes resting. 1t will sleep in a
shed and lie on the grass, but it
will not stretch itself on couch.
A COW does not carry OH an argyll

well, for even at death they make

A series of three weed control,
and grain Standardization meet
ings were held in the county last
week by r. l.. Spangler assistant
agronomist and weed control
specialist of the university eX-
tension and the county agent.
The first meeting at Ferdinand
was poorly attended there being
only twelve men out. These
men however seemed interested
in the topics discussed and the
county agent was able to enlist
the cooperation of two of them
who each agreed to select enough
heads of wheat of the forty fold
variety to make a bushel of seed
for planting next year in an eff
fort to get a start of good pure
seed. At the meeting at Winona
Friday there were eighteen
farmers out OF hear Mr.. Spangler
One man in this community is

Triplett wheat up to the stand
ard of certification and has al
ready contracted what he will
have to spare of this crop to his
neighbors. Saturday the last
meeting was held in Cottonwood
with a good attendance. The
farmers were all eager to learn
the noxious weeds found in this
county and to familiarize them
selves with methods of control.
Joe Mcdonald of Fem who at
tended the meeting and Edwin
Nelson have fields of Triplett
and Kanrad wheat respectively
which promises to produce some
good seed of these varieties.

'lt is impossible to tell with any

contracts will be completed. When
things seem to be moving along

Expect COunty's Quota of
State Taxes Will Be Cut

Members of the county COM
mittee on state tax equalization
returned from Lansing Thursday
night hopeful that this county
will be given a considerable re-
duction in it's equalized valuation
over the original figure set by the
state tax board.
The four members who present
ed the case of this county's tax
payers to the board were Burt D.
Cady, city attorney, M. N, Petit,
city assessor, Roy 7, Gilbert and
Albert E. Stevenson.
Under the original schedule pre-
pared by the state board at it's
first hearing two weeks ago, st.
Clair county's valuation for 1928
was increased more than any 9TH
er county in the state, which
would have increased the local
tax rate, as increases given in
other counties were smaller.

WORKMEN UNEARTH SKELETONS AT DEPTH
OF ABOUT EIGHTEEN INCHES. .--DEEP
MYSTERY CONFRONTS AUTHORITIES

Workmen in a small gravel pit
on the bank of Mill creek at Old
Brockway, opposite the site of
what was at one time the old
Brockway House, were greatly
excited on Friday last when they
began to unearth the bones of
skeletons. Under about eighteen
inches of dirt the bones of at
least three bodies were found.
Sheriff Maines and Coroner A.
A. Falk of Port Huron, were noti-
fled and were soon on the scene,
The bones were taken to Falk's
undertaking rooms for examina-
tion where it was found that the
corpses had evidently been doubl-
ed up at time of burial and all
placed in one grave, and that they
had probably been buried 25 or
80 years ago.
Inquiries have failed to find
anyone as yet who can remember
anything in connection with the
matter and if it was a crime, it
will probably forever be a mys-
terry.
