Comparative showing of the teams

Eastern a rather decided edge, but there
Is nothing, perhaps, more uncertain
than the outcome of high school foot
ball games here and the game may
prove much closer than many expect.
Eastern is bound to feel the absence
OF Jim Munro, stellar center, who has
been lost to the team because OF an
arm fracture. Munro was an aggressive,
fiery player, who LAST Fall earned all
high recognition.
Particular interest attaches to the
Central Eastern game. Fans desire to
see how the Central team shapes under
the direction of Rauber and how East

former Central coach.

THE MAGIC WORD "HONE"

In the last 10 years the societies of Building and
Loan Associations in America have increased their
sources from less than two to more than seven billion
dollars and their membership from four to eleven mil
hon. These amazing figures, presented at the recent
convention of the League of Building and Loan ASsocl
atons in Dallas, Texas, give idea of the Importance
of these home building organizations, but than
that prove that the American people eager own
their own homes
Home building activities touch the very founda-
tons OF national prosperity and the fact that these
associations have proSpered in spite Of easy money
and declining interest rates must bear Importantly
upon any census of American well-being. Helping the
individual to build and pay for his home, they play
ing a big part in national life.
Recent surveys, results of which disclosed
at the convention, show that while nearly 46 per cent
Of American families their homes the per-
centage of home owners among industrial workers is
comparatively small. Some have laid this to the fact
that industrial Wageearners form shifting tide,
ing from city to city and remaining only where work
is good
But one example cited shows that the factory
worker also wants to his home. In large plant

CAVANAUGH SUES

Claims Remuneration of Town
 Clerk for Two Years

Corporation Counsel John II. kirkham and the seven members Of the democratic town committee who are named as defendants in a $7,50O action brought by T. Clay Cavanaugh, who insists he has been elected city clerk, were inclined to- day to view the matter lightly and as one not likely to reach trial.
 Cavanaugh sets forth that he was deprived of the right to have his name on the democratic ballot and for that reason names the town committeeman as defendants; he also sets forth that Alfred l.. Thompson ha. taken over possession of the city clerks office, and he sues the city for the salary of which he feels. he asserts, he has been deprived.
 Should CaVanaugh attempt to have the suit docketed in superior court on the first Tuesday in June, as his writ declares. 1t is expected that | motion will be made to re- auire him to post a bond for prose- cution which, they feel certain, will put an end to Cavanaugh's plan for a day in court"
