SCARLET FEVER
TAKES YOUNGLAD
Little Donald Macarthur of FinlaySOn
Neigh bOrhOOd is Victim.
Was o Years Old.

Once again death has entered the
county and taken from us one of our
loved ones. This time little Donald
Macarthur was called to his heavenly
home. Donald was stricken with
scarlet fever on Dec. 22nd and as a
result of complications which set in
he passed away at the home of his
parents. He was born on Jan. %,
1920, and passed away Jan. 6, 1929.
Left to mourn in the immediate
family circle are his parents, sister
Gretchen. his twin sister, Dorothy,
Dwayne, Mrs. >LeOna Schultz of st.
Paul, and brother, Ishmael, of Chi
cagO, the latter two being unable to
come home for the funeral.
Owing to the cause of death, pri-
vate funeral was held at the home
Monday afternoon. The Rev. f. A.
Cooke of Barnum, spoke a brief and
sympathetic sermon. Some of the la
dies of Finlayson gathered at the
grave in the local cemetery, and rend-
cred very beautiful hymn. The
family has the sympathy of the en-
tire community in their hour of sOr-
row.
There was little band in heaven
And it was not complete.
God took our little darling
To fill the vacancy.
This little bud, so young and fair,
Cut down in early doom,
Never more on earth again,
But in Paradise will bloom.

EASTERN ELEVENS
 IN ACTION TODAY
F0ldham Has Chance to Finish
 Season all Undeleated Team

Kew York. Nov. g CPD-As Yale and Harvard met in their 4Sth clash before 5S,O00 spectators at Cam bridge today Fordham deployed against an invading Bucknell force at the Polo Grounds and Lehigh en- tertained Lafayette at Easton in other games of prime importance in the eastern sector. Two intersec- tional games were presented in Phil adelphia and suburbs. where Villa nova played North Carolina State and Temple attempted to halt Drake, champion of the Missouri Valley conference.
 Boston college fought out a city rivalry with Boston university, and Brown, the Army and Navy engaged practice foes in Now Hampshire, Ohio Wesleyan and West Virginia Wesleyan, respectively. Rutgers met New York university at the Yankee stadium in a second metropolitan attraction. Pittsburgh, Dartmouth. Colgate, PcnnGylvania and other high ranking eastern Clevens had a day of rest to fit them for objective games next week.
 Fordham's chance to achieve it's first unGefeated season rested in the balance as Clark Hinkle and his hard running mates from Bucknell charged the Maroon front.
 The vastly-improved Lafayette eleven, coached by G. Herbert Me Cracken of Pittsburgh. remained a favoritc over Lehigh, which began its season with a rush only to crum- pie before Princeton and collapse against Rutgers, an earlier victim of Lafayette. A victory today would give Lafayette ten straight victories in it's objective game.
 NillGnova was favored over the Wolf pack from down south, but Temple faced hard task in meet ing the strong Drake eleven. Drake led Notre Dame for three periods in recent game in Chicago.
 In the remaining games, the larg- CT eleven in each instance was fla vored. but these here upsets were possible. And in such contests an upset" when it does occur, is very genuine.
