FATS AND LEANS
TO PLAY IN GAME
THE EVENT, STAGED EVERY
FOUR YEARS, PROMISES TO
BRING TOGETHER A NOBLE
ARRAY OF MATERIAL (?)

Under the auspices of the local
post of the American Legion the Fats
and Leans will play basketball here
soon. The Fats are numerous and
the Leans are more numerous. The
game, no doubt, will prove to be one
of the seasons notable events. Such
treat only comes once in several
years; in fact each Leap Year for
the last game of this kind given to
the fans and others was played on
the armory floor on March 18th, 1924.
At this writing the exact date of
this notorious slaughter has not been
decided but is assured for some time
in the immediate future. The money
derived from the game will have its
wellmeaning; in this particular, be-
ing a good sport does not necessarily
mean that one must be basketball
fan-it means rather that one must
have the willingness to assist in
good cause and it is hoped by the
Legionnaires that an exceptional
turnout is assured before showing
the quality and form (?) of basket
ball always desired.
The Fats, headed by the post COM
mander, Burt Zumwinkle, have been
at hard practice for several weeks in
preparation for the event. The COM
mander, with blood in his eye, states
that an early victory is necessary and
assured. Assisting Mr.. Zumwinkle
in the farce are some of the lands
most noted players (not necessarily
basketball players, but players never
the-less) namely: Budik, Showalter,

hand to make every dollar of invest

something.
These illustrations are not given
in ridicule or condemnation for poor

the attention of all farmers the i'm
portance of carefully studying the
farm business and ways of solving
many of the most difficult problems
by prevention rather than remedies,
most of which are of no use. There
