between Dresden and M. & M, play
ed on the formers field, NJ & M,
won by score of 26 to S. Dres-
den's only score was made simply
because M. & M. boys were asleep
on the first kick off, when the ball
rolled over the goal line for a
touchdown. Both teams played
ragged during the first Quarter. In
the second quarter the Big Reds
played much better, Clements made
the first touchdown for the locals
when he carried the oval over after
several line plays; a second touch
down was made by him in a like
manner. Glass accounted for six
pointer when he ran so yards over
the stripe. The extra point was
made-~by Clements who sbucked the
line and carried it safely over. The
half ended with M. & M 10, Dres-
den 6. But single touchdown was
made in the last half, and that was
by Northrup who blocked a punt,
which he recovered behind the goal
line.
Saturday the second team was
walloped by Junction City. Score

ing his failing health and the in
roads of this terrible disease, Mr..
Anderson had been working up un.
til about two weeks before he died,
and had looked after business mat
ters and shaped up his affairs be-
fore leaving for the hospital. There
is pathos connected with the un-
failing industry, the faithfulness

lows: Wilmer Gibeaut, Clyde Riley,
Bryant Roberts, VIM. Baldwin, Jud-
son Balding and John Aber. Other
members of Wagon Company, un
der their commander Herbert Lew
is, also attended in body, and at
the grave the military salute was
given. Taps were sounded by Mr..

tives and friends, attested the re-
gard in which the deceased was
held. Burial was made in the Nc

His mother survives him. He was
born in Perry county, Ohio, March
9, 1889, making him in his Add

brought him in contact with
large number of people, giving
him a wide acquaintance, and Great
ing in those whom he met feeling
of kindly interest and regard, and
leaving a keen feeling of sadness at
his passing
