Eagle earned all they got. In spite
of the large odds in the final score,
the game was good, fast all the way
through, with Clintonville putting up
sportsmanlike contest and getting
good deal of appreciation from the
side lines. Both sides were in a little
hard luck on basket shooting. With
that end of the game developed lit
tie better the two teams will meet at
some future date and the score VIII be
more even. Principal Wartinbees boys
play good game; their shots didn't
seem to have the knack of going
through but in the next game the
breaks may be the other way

.Wartinbee'S Warriors
Drop 80 20 4 Tilt Here
LOCAL CUNT EASY WINNERS IN
GAME HERE SATURDAY WITH
CLINTONVILLE HIGH

Showing a decided improvement in
form over their appearance against
Minocqua last week, the Eagle River
high school basketball team smother
ed the Clintonville High quint here
Saturday evening by score of 80 to
4, holding the visitors to one basket
and two free throws.
Clintonville was rated as one Of the
hardest teams on the schedule, and
they are hard fighting aggregation,
but Eagle outplayed them in every
period, showing teamwork and pass
ing that will pile up points over any
team With a little more confidence
in shooting the locals will develop in
to smooth working machine as the
season advances.
Eagle started an offensive game
right at the outset, with Clintonville
covering well and breaking up forma-
tions, which gave promise of close
contest. Bent got a free throw and
dropped in two pretty short shots
near the end of the period. Schauder
Clintonvilie's star forward, made
long shot from the center of the floor
that cleared the ring beautifully for
the visitors two points. Score: Clin-
tonville 2; Eagle 5.
In the second period Eagle picked
up more speed and opened up an at
tack that netted them nine more
points, Giese spearing basket and
free throw, Feary tossing in couple
more and a free one, and Felt max
ing his point on try at the ring. The
speed at which both teams travelled
in this quarter made it a bit rough,
with three fouls being called on Rog
ers, center for Eagle, and three on
Schauder, right forward for Clinton
vile. Schauder, alongside the rest of
his teammates, looks like the pro-
verbal pint of CIDER in fact, he goes
by the name of Cricket but he is a
whirlwind on the floor and gives his
guard man-sized job to cover him.
Playing crouching game and driving
hard all the time, the flashy forward
and Rogers mixed it several times
with the resultant fouls. Shauder
made a couple of his free trys in this
period before his coach pulled him
for final reserve. Score: Clintonville
q; Eagle 9.
! The second half opened with lit
tie less speed on both sides but with
Eagle playing a nice passing game
and working their plays without a
great deal of difficulty against the
visitors. Bent, Giese, Rogers and Felt
each scored a basket. for eight more
points, while Clintonville failed to con
meet Score: Clintonvile 0; Eagle 8.
The final period found Clintonville
struggling hard to add few more
points to their four, but it was Eagles
ball most of the time, with Bent max
ing pretty shot from scrimmage and
adding couple of free throws on a
foul. Rogers dropped in another from
the corner, and Feary pulled a long
one from the center Towards the end
of the period Coach Ammundsen of
Eagle put in three Of his second
strong men, and the speedy Schauder
appeared again for Clintonville, but
the whistle ended the game before any
more nOirtS cOllld he made Score.

divine favor, in contemplating the biess-

we shall reveal the spiritual strength of
the nation.
The year has been marked by contin8
uation of peace whereby our country has
entered into relationship Of better under
standing with all the other nations of the
earth Ways have been revealed to us by
which we could perform very great service
through the extension of financial assist

of neighborly kindness to less favored PEG
pies. We should give thanks for the pow-t

with which we have been able to render
them service to the rest of mankind:
At home we have continually had an

The human brain is capable of I'M
limited development and there is no
such thing as overwork for brain
properly developed. Thinking with in
tense concentration makes the brain
actually grow at any age. The latest
proof is the increase of one-quarter
of an inch in the size of Lloyd
Georges head since 1903.
A quarter of an inch makes a great
difference when the space is filled
with the right kind of brain matter.
Also, thinking changes and in
creases the size of the nose, develops
the chin. We are what our thoughts
make us.

Big steamship companies think more
rapidly than do our United States rail
road companies. At least the big lines
already are planning flying boats for
carrying passengers across the Allan

obsolete they want to own the thing

American railroads seem content to

that in twenty-five years passenger ira

OLD LIBRARY IN NEWPORT
Redwood Institution, That Was
Founded in f747, One Of the
First In America.

One hundred and twenty-seven
years ago the Pilgrims landed on the
stern and rockbound coast" of New
England and Redwood library was
incorporated. The idea of this IL
brary had its inception In the Philo-
sophical society, organized in 173e, Of
which Bishop Berkeley was the lead
er. A similar society of PhiIadel.
phians. known as the American Philo-
sophical society, was according to
Benjamin Franklin, its founder. the
mother to all North American SUBJ
scription Libraries, says the Detroit
News. The Philosophical society at
Newport developed into a library
through the generosity OF Abraham
Redwood, who placed at the 5isposal
Of the society $500 for the purchase
of standard books in London.
At the time the Redwood library
was organized there were only Two
similar institutions in America, the
Library company of Philadelphia, al.
ready referred to, and the Loguni..ii
library in the same city. Part OF the
present building, completed In 1850,
was the second library built in the
country, and is at the present time
the oldest library building in use in
the United States. It was designed
by Peter Harrison, the first profess
sloDal architect in America.

Land Than He Could
Work.

The mining code devised by the men
first in the Western gold fields
whether by unwritten agreement be
tween partners 0. less formal concur
sipns of a miners convention was
most democratic says the Detroit
News. The universally recognized prin-
ciple allowed every man the usufruct
of as much land as he could work to
advantage, and the dimensions of a
claim varied from 10 to 100feet square,
according TO the quality Of the "dirt, "
the difficulty Of working and the num-
Der of miners in the field. The discov-
erer Of the bar was, however, entitled
to first choice to double the usual Inor-
ton.
A mans title held only so long as
he worked the claim. A certain amount
of earth must be taken out each week,
and an absence of five consecutive
days might entail forfeiture. The
claim, if proved valuable, was staked
out and a notice of ownership posted.
But tool left on the spot was sufi-
cient evidence of occupation. Original
ly no man might hold more than one
claim, but purchase made possible the
ownership of considerable tracts.

on the Amazon usually rises without

Composition of celluloid

Celluloid is an artificial substance
made by mixing gum camphor, gun
cotton and other substances and then
subjecting them TO hydraulic pressure.
A kind of celluloid was made In 1855
at Birmingham, England, but the In
vention of ordinary celluloid is usu-
ally credited to John W. Hyatt of New
ark, N. j., who with his brother devei-
oped an important industry. The exact
process of celluloid manufacture is
trade secret. One method is rough
~ as follows: Dry guncotton Is well
washed and dried and ground fine
under water, after which the water Ia
removed and the mass subjected to
great pressure. Then camphor and
coloring matter are added. Celluloid
is used as substitute for ivory, bone,
hard rubber, coral, leather and many
other substances. 1t is not explosive,
but easily lighted and burns rapidly.
