Harvard Bit
 TooGood For Plucky Yales
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Steeped in football lore of genera tionS are Americas traditional football classics bringing another great season 70 a close on most col- lege fronts. tomorrow.
 Cornell, surfeited with success, logged down no little against a surprising Dartmouth array, but Carl Snavely's efficient and we'll drilled seniors should snap out of it against Pennsylvania, and end illustrious varsity careers with a smashing victory.
 Yale made 8 remarkable stand against Princeton, but Harvard appears 10 points stronger.
 A further aerial bombardment, this time by an expert-Dave AL lerdice - figures to tumble Army to another defeat at Princeton.
 Dartmouth, having found the spark, has a fine chance of spilling Brown.
 Penn State and Lafayette should maintain their unbeaten strings against Pittsburgh and Lehigh, re- spectively, the Leopards with no trouble at all.
 Columbia has the goods with which to edge Colgate. George town will bounce back with con- siderable to spare in its match with George Washington. Man. haitian seems to be couple of touchdowns better than Holy Cross, and Duquesne holds the same advantage over Villanova. CARDS WORTHY BOWLERS IF THEY DEFEAT BEARS
 There is no sense in voting against the from-rags- to-riches Stanfords now - in the Big Game .. the gorgeous spectacle that is the Cardinals meeting with California.
 The Golden Bears have come on like Stagehand in the stretch, however, and if Clark Shaugh- nessy's amazing young men get over this one, they will indeed be worthy representatives of the golden slope in the Pasadena Rose Bowl, Jan. 1.
 A splendid Washington squad appears too well balanced for U. c. L. A. Washington State has its hands full at Gonzaga.

MISSISSIPPI BANKS
 ON TOUCHDOWN TWINS

Purdue should keep the Old Oak en Bucket in another low-scoring affair with Indiana.
 There will be stern and im- proved resistance, but Minnesota will continue its unbridled march at Wisconsin.
 Merle Hapes and Junie Hovious, the Touchdown Twins, easily could be the difference between Mississippi and fine Mississippi State outfit.
 Tennessee shouldn't experience too much difficulty with Kentucky and Duke none at all with North Carolina State Alabama takes Vanderbile in stride, but Georgia Tech can't let down against Flor ida.
 It's Southern Methodist at Bay Tor by a gnat's eyelash, and Rice by some distance in its party with Texas Christian.

Bauman playing plenty of tackle, Northwestern is due for Q break, and has grand opportunity of dealing Notre Dame another re- verse. It's Marquette at Detroit largely because the Titans will be lucky to get back from Spokane in time to keep the appointment.
 Ohio State could save a dis astrous season by repelling Michi- gan, but Tom Harmon, Forest Evashevski and other brilliant Wolverines are not the kind to bow out with a defeat.
 Illinois Is another team that could make up for a lot of lost time, but Bill Green, Bill Gal lagher and some more Iowans sud- denly found the range at Notre Dame.

words "Sand Hollow" The resi-
dence which with the farm now be-
longs to Mrs Rosa Smith and Miss
Mabel Wilson, daughters of Mr.
Wilson, and granddaughters of Mr..
Miller, has been unoccupied since
the death of Mr.. Miller, and while
we could in thought see the folks
who then lived thereabouts coming
with their eggs and butter, and go
ing with groceries, dry goods,
boots and shoes, all was quiet. The
merchants are all sleeping as are
most of the customers, in not only
the Silent Cities of Bristol, but in
others of the county and over our

Mechanics
Back in our boyhood, men were
held distinctive-(if that is the
word) from the fact that they were
carpenters, stone masons, plaster
ers, farmers, and so on. Since the
World war, when prices went high
for work of the trades, many men
have bought saws, hammers, paint
brushes and various tools used in
the trades, put on white overalls
and caps and proclaimed to the
world that they were mechanics.
So far as looks are concerned they
have all the appearances We sus-
pect when the world becomes adj
justed, mechanics will not be chos-
en- by the color of their overalls,
but by past record.

An Exciting Race

Not horse-race or a political
race, just a calf race. j. P. Kidd
who lives on a high knoll over
looking the vine-clad valley OF
Lick Run, recently had an unusual
fast race with week old cali
which had escaped from a pen in
the barnyard, and at once started
to explore the surrounding country
Jim discovered the calf being out
started at once to capture it and
return it to the pen, but the calf
saw different, and started off in
high speed in a southerly direction,
with Jim in pursuit. Austin Kidd,
who lives nearby, saw that his un-
Gle was losing out in the race, join
ed in the chase and when they had
reached the Emmett Duvall home
Austin, who was younger and more
supple than his uncle, succeeded in
heading off the calf, but the calf
not yet ready to give up, took bee
line for Meigs creek, jumping into
the icy waters, started for the op-
posite bank, with Austin close to it's
heels. When it reached the oppo-
site bank it became entangled in
the willows, and Austin captured
it. Then the calf started to let out
some loud bellows which reverber-
ated from the hills, while Jim stood
on the opposite shore, giving orders
to rescue. Like a captain of a
great ship, the calf was towed back
across TO the home shores, and the
men soon had him back to the barn
yard enclosure, which is horse-high,
bull stout and pig tight. Neither
the men nor the calf seem to have
suffered any i'll effects from the
experience Jim VOWS that he will
keep that calf confined until it has
enough mother-wit to be content to
stay on the home farm.
Both branches of MeigS creek
were bank full here, Sunday.
The roads through this section
are in a terrible condition. Satur-
day Oscar Hutchins of the Leland
farm was called out with a tractor
to pull an automobile out of the
mud near the Leland farm.
A number of pupils of the local
school were absent last week on ac-
count of illness-mostly heavy colds
and sore throats.
The school busses transporting
pupils from this section to the Rein
ersville high school, have been fore
ed to detour on their regular route,
on account of road conditions.
Jay Barnes of the Dora Nelson
home, was Sunday dinner guest Of
his parents.
Quite an electrical storm, accom-
panied by heavy thunder, and a
downpour of rain, visited this sec
tion about 4:30 p. M, Sunday.
Mrs. Edna Stegner and daughter
Norma. Mr.. and Mrs. Dale Singree,
and Miss Wava Singree, were sup
per guests Sunday of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed Stegner and family.
During Sunday night both branch
es of Meigs creek overfiowed their
banks, covering the lowlands and
the roads were inundated in many
places, but by Monday morning the
creeks were back inside their banks,
and traffic resumed.

While there have been many men
who have lived and are still living
who have done the same things that
Herbert did-that is some did one,
or more of the things, but we DOUBT
whether Bristol ever produced an
other man who could and did all
the things that Herbert did. We
only want to mention few he
was a master farmer; could and
did work all day on the farm, then
in the evening took his place at
the literary society as an entertain

where wit and humor was the pro-
gram, and Herbert, was always a
star. because he was original, made

Lawrence's hog, to get its bladder.
When Lovett came to look for his
hog and found it, he seemed peev-
ed, when Jim said Don't Cry, Low
ett, Pap will pay you"
Sheep
On account of the fine grazing
lands of Bristol township, combin-
ed with the meadow and corn land,
it is ideal for the raising OF sheep,
furnishing pasture through the
summer months, and through the
winter, when the snow does not
cover the ground, then rough feed
through the winter. There has
been a great change in the quality
of sheep, since our boyhood. In
boyhood the sheep had but little
wool compared with sheep Of the
present. At that time sheep had
little, if any, wool on their legs
and head, and what they had was
short and light. The sheep were
much more hardy than those Of the
present, and required but little at
tention. They were fleet of foot.
Very few farmers sheltered, or
housed their focks, even in inclem-
ent weather, and the dogs did not
bother them. At that time no one
had thought of dog tags-no dog
wardens. Not so now. The great
est worry to sheep men today is the
dog menace. While every dog IS
supposed to be tagged and tied, or
shut up at night, the loss each year
runs high
While we have no notion OF be-
coming a law maker, we have long
felt the state has the thing back
ward. Our idea is to have the dog
owner to give bond for 500, before
they are issued license, which
would work two ways. First, they
would be more careful about where

they didn't, collect the bond and
pay the loss. While there are many
valuable dogs in Bristol, there are
far too many worthless ours.
Bristol In War
In some former chapter we told
of the men who fought for the free
dom of our country, and of those
write this the papers are carrying
big headlines telling of the situa-
tion in Europe. Over the radio
comes news every few minutes, but
what we started to tell you: Folks
here while greatly interested they
seem divided on the question as to
the part Uncle Sam should take in
conflict. Some folks who think
they think we should go to war,
change their minds when they find
their husbands, sons, or sweet
hearts may have to go. We had
hoped the world would go to war
no more, but let the automobiles
keep the population down.
While there has been great
change in about everything you can
think of pertaining to rural life,
we have often wondered what our
grandfathers who farmed with
horse-drawn machinery, much of
which was crude in comparison
with machinery of the present
would think, could they see the
tractors drawing more machinery
than all the horses of two or three
farmers could have pulled. Even
Oft hn ochi inc
as the grain binders made their ap-
pearance, it was nothing unusual
to hear the horses being killed by
the heat during harvest. Now,
with the tractor-drawn machines,
the work goes steadily on. The
only stop is to re-fuel, or add an
other ball of new twine, all of
which has rung the death knell for
the blacksmith so far as horse.

Correction
In connection with Asbury B.
Wilson, who started life's career at
Rowland, 78 years ago, we find
Sylvester Hardesty was the first
merchant at Rowland, selling to
Silas Ayres, who we gave as the
first. Our friend A. B. was born as
we said at Rowland. While he no
doubt heard the advice eco west
youg man. he went east instead,
but only a few miles. While he as
a young man left Bristol for short
intervals to get some of the high
prices paid young men who were
not afraid to work, he always call
