GRADES DEFEAT
JUNIORS SUNDAY

On Sunday afternoon after most OF
the boys had attended Sunday school
it became noised abroad that there
was to be football game at the Park
between two teams of the younger
aspirants for gridiron honors.
The game was called at 230 and
resulted in victory for the grades
against team made up of the young
er high school boys. The score was
6 to 0.
The teams were evenly matched in
play although the grades outweighed
their opponents by some pounds per
man. The only score of the game
came In the second quarter when .
fake end run around the left end gave
the ball to voytoski who made long
run around the right end and was
downed on the high school two-yard
line. A line plunge carried the bail
across but the grades failed TO kick
the extra point.
The rest Of the game was a seesaw
back and forth up and down the field.
Time and again the ball was lost on
four downs. First down was made
about an equal number Of times by
the opposing teams. Wicky voytoski
was about the most consistent gamer
for the grades while Hugh Grogan
caused the most damage on defense
For the High there was not much
to choose between players. Those
who made the greatest gains had
holes opened for them by the others
and so the honors were about even.
The game was not classic but
among the players were numbered
boys who win be playing on the high
school first team In the next few
years and the experience here gained
will give the high team an advantage
which they have not enjoyed hereto
fore.
For this reason these games should
be encouraged and all the boys urged
to take part in them. Football Is
liberal education in itself and the
boy who goes through this mill will
be slightly more resourceful than he
who keeps out Of 1t. Every man on
football team has his work to do and
If he performs that part well he is as
much deserving Of praise as the man
who actually carries the ball for =
touchdown. Team work wins. This
is the lesson the boy must learn
Newspaper writer's often lose sight
Of this fact in failing to give their
share of the credit to the line players
who make il possible for the backs
to score.

Examiners Notes
Your Treasurer's records are well
kept and il was a pleasure to check
them.
You have ample room in your city
hall to keep all your records and we
urge that you insist upon your city
officers keeping them there. Had this
been the practice Of your former clerk
we could have checked the claims
filed during his term of office. Your
present clerk keeps his records in the
proper place.
Your Park Board is not functioning

on how the finances should be han
died 1t is not necessary that the
Mayor sign the warrants drawn on

interests will undertake there.
Mr.. Pierce wrote that the plan was
to manufacture basic materials al
Priest Rapids, and he gave a list of
the raw products that could be OBJ
tanned in quantity near by. The own
ers of the project, he said had ac-
quired deposit of pure limestone
with ten million tons in sight, and
had also purchased 600 acres of beds
of purest clay containing 40 per cent
of alumina and suitable for the man.
ufacture of aluminium, the clay
metal. Coal and high-grade iron ore
and coke well suited to metallurgical
uses, he said, were obtainable near
the project and could be delivered to
the power plant site at reasonable
prices.
Nearly all the nations supply of
high-grade phosphate rocks, SO valu-
able in the manufacture of fertilizers,
he said, was found in the state of
Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, which
are within easy rail haul of Priest
Rapids.
Among the raw materials to be
found in quantity within 500 miles
of Priest Rapids, besides the ones
mentioned, he listed copper, chrom-
gypsum, kaolin, silver, tungsten, va
nadium, zinc, leucite, marble, mica,
pyrites, clays suitable for making
china, porcelain, pottery and fire
brick, soda, SILICA, diatomaceous
earth, feldspar, flourspar, alunite and
timber in abundance.
The significance Of this lies in
the uses to which the minerals named
are known to be put in the electro
chemical industries and metallurgy.
For example, limestone and coke are
used in the manufacture at Niagara
Falls Of huge quantities Of carborun-
dunn used as an abrasive. Copper and
steel form brass used in huge guam
titles in electrical apparatus. Mica
is used in electrical apparatus as an
insulating material. Manganese,
molybdenum, tungsten and
are used in making the
finest steel for many purposes.
Diatomaceous earth is one of the
of dynamite of which an
other ingredient is nitric acid, which
can be made from air with cheap
Feldspar is used in max
ing porcelain. Pyrites are source of
sulphuric acid that is largely used in
the chemical industries. Silica and
soda are the principal raw materials

would have resulted. The Rocky
Mount player was in a fortunate
position to fall upon the ball
near the goal line and in sim
gle play the ball went over. In
three attempts, to drop kick the
ball bounded into the hands of
Rocky Mount and.during the en-
tire game they got the breaks,
without exception. 1t is very un-
usual when a team is able to
score two safeties, as was done
by Roanoke Rapids, for the score
to be as low as in this game, 1t
was the opinion of some of the
Rocky Mount fans that the 10
calls were the stronger team by
two touchdowns. 1t is probable
that the two teams will meet
again in the first game of the
State Championship series.
