Wilmington High School defeated
Milford High School here last Fri

In the third period, by two lucky
breaks 70 the game, Wilmington
scored two touchdowns. The first
touchdown was scored when Co
vatos, Milford's safety man, FUN
bled and Kerrigan caught it ON the

blocked kick. Manion, the Whining
ton fullback, scored the point after
touchdown on line plunge.
Last Fridays game was the first
contest ever to be held between
teams from Wilmington and Milford

undoubtedly the best team ever to
represent the school on the grid
ion, should make such wonderful
showing. The lineup:

At the auditorium in Cleveland,
Ohio. where Calvin Coolidge was
s. nominated for the Presidency in
1924, President Hoover will deliver
his second away-frOm-home cam
paign address next Saturday night,
October Is.
The Presidents intention to make
his second political trip of the cam
paign to Ohio was announced at the
White House shortly before Post
master General Brown and Carmi
Thompson, chairman of the Cuya-
hoga County (Cleveland) Republi-
can organization, discussed plans
with him.
Just as the President did in his
recent swing into Iowa, Brown said,
so Mr.. Hoover probably will stop his
special train at several cities along
the route. By so doing he will be
able to speak briefly to at least half
a dozen audiences from the rear
platform of his car.
The Postmaster General told news
papermen that the Chief Executive

"The political situation there has
been improved very greatly in the

Brown said Mr.. HoOvers3s being
pressed by RepublicanSIeaders in
many parts of the nation to visit

Declaring the Republican party
"the most efficient instrument for
sound popular government ever en-
trusted with the guidance of a great
nation" CALVIN Coolidge told the
American people Tuesday night
they shall be most likely to find
progress in holding fast" to Herbert
Hoover.
The former President address
was three fCld:
An attack Gh pending Democratic
Treasury raids" and a criticism of
Franklin D. Roosevelt for his "si-
lence" on the question of bonus pay
ments.
Praise of Republican policies,
past and present.
A complete endorsement of Pres
ident Hoover's leadership during the
depression.
Standing under mammoth oil
paintings of Hoover and Curtis, with
speech slow and deliberate, the
former President brought the thou
sands in the Garden off their seats
amid cheers and stamps by declar-
ing:
Some people are saying that as
things could not be any worse, we
might as well try a change. That is
a very dangerous principle ID apply
to the discharge of the duties of
American citizenship. Things could
be a great deal worse than they are
and would have been much worse
had it not been for the vision, the
courage and the leadership of Pres

In the history of the Sheridan County Fair one
more mile stone is passed, and with the assured feel
ing that our people appreciated the efforts made to
continue. 1t was made possible by the cash donations
OF our business men and the wonderful cooperation
OF our various communities and towns.
While a disappointment occurred, due to the
failure OF some communities to fill their booths. we
are promised full cooperation in the future.
Your Board wishes to sincerely thank every
person lending a helping hand. We trust that the
community spirit IN the entire county be enrolled in
our next attempt to put on a fair-not only in fill
ing a booth with grains and vegetables, but in the
anusements to entertain our guests. Surely it is all
worth while.
