BR0CDEN EXPECTS
TOUGH STRUGGLE
Wilson Cyclones Have Not
Lost On Their Home Field
For Five Years
By GENE WARREN

The New Hanover High School
Wildcats pack up today and leave
town at 200 o'clock this afternoon
to battle the Wilson Cyclones at
the Tobacco City's Municipal Stad-
iurn. The kickoff is slated at 8:00
O'Clock before an expected crowo
of over 5000 fans.
Asked about his opinion OF the
contests outcome, Coach L I'm
Brogden, former Wilson mentor
replied, 81 expect one of the tight
est struggles this season, because
know the Wilson boys are plenty
good. Most of them were my pupils
in my stay at that fine city, and
they all know plenty of football. "
The four top gridders on the Cy'
clone eleven are Co-Captains Bob
Hackney and Archie Wells, Jay
Clark, and Clyde Sullivan. This
bunch played a prominen1 ,prt in
giving the Tobacco City lads the
state championship title last year
and are expected to be in the Han
overians' hair all evening.
Hackney runs from the tackle
post in the forward wall, while
Wells is fine all around end.
Clark and Sullivan, two OF the best
ball carriers in the state, move
from the quarterback and left half
back positions, respectively.
The remainder of the backfield
consists of two fine performers in
Rabbit Overman, a 140 pound full
back, and Moore, very fast right
halfback. The forward wall is very
light, averaging ITO pounds per
man. At the tackle post opposite
Hackney is Mattox, a IT'S pound
lad, who has great driving power
for his size. Handling the guard
duties are Allgood and Switzer,
with Long over the ball at center.
Roaming the flank spots along with
Wells is Anthony, weighing only
l45 pounds, but a good pass recelv'
er and dangerous at all times.
The Cyclones are out to hold up
the record that stands among the
best in football achievements. This
record which the Wilson squad
possesses proudly is that they have
not lost a conference game on their
home field in five years. Their old
coach, who helped establish this
record, may be the one to break
it as he sends his Wilmington line
up into the affray as favorites to
topple their highly-rated opponent.
Brogden believes he has a great
chance Of accomplishing this job
for at his command in one of the
best ball carrying aggregations in
high school history are four boys.
who rank among the best in that
department.
Jimmy Piner, Dave Bannerman,
Louis 'Bubba' Sykes and Kenneth
Rogers, who patrol the quarter
back, right halfback, fullbadS, and
left halfback posts respectively.
Out of this group only Jimmy Pin
err is a newcomer. Piner is short,
husky built boy, who looks like
the best signal caller of the year.
Jimmy runs low and is very hard
to bring to the turf once he gets
away. During the weeks practice
this lad got off for number OF
scoring runs, breaking into the
clear with nice consistency.
In the forward wall the regular
group will start although two OF
the first string linemen are not
expected to take part in much OF
the conflict. These are lanky Don
Hyatt, a fine pivotman who has
nlayed splendidlY on offense

the mattress aud springs. 1t also
provides freedom from flies and

British Coal

England is a coal country; 70qS
Of the islands export tonnage is coal
and it goes all over the world. Eng
lands 706, 900 miners produce 200
million tons of coal year. These
are big figures until you compare
England and America. We have
only $500 miners in the United
States but they produce 586 million
tons of coal year; more than FIVE
times as much per man as in Eng
land.
Coal miners in England draw SIS

$50 week and they earn it. Don't
let anybody tell you that American
workers are super-men who hit

because it's not true. Don't let any
body tell you that coal veins in the
western hemisphere are richer and
better and easier to work, because
that's not true either.
Modern Machinery
In America miners use power cut
tiers. Automatic leaders put the coal
in cars and electric locomotives pull
them away. In England men dig
coal out with picks and pitch it in
cars with shovels. The power that
pulls the car to daylight is scrub
mule with rag over his eyes.
That's how they used to mine coal
in America when grandpa was a
boy.
Getting a ton of English coal TO

labor alone; $1.40 in America. The
manpower shortage, incidental 10

American coal advanced only 60t

worked hardship on the English.
Food and Clothing
England does not raise enough

Average Citizen
Has Answer to
National Welfare

There Is considerable difference
of opinion with regard to the atti-
tude civilians win take during the
next few months. Their attitudes
will largely determine whether we
have recession of several months
duration and the extent Of the re-
covery from such a recession. One
group thinks that in spite of lower
incomes, based on a shorter work
week, civilians win have more
leisure and spend more.
This group would expect a brisk
trade based on free spending. I'm
portant segments Of the federal gov
eminent would seem to favor pol
lcies that would lead to free spend
Ing accompanied by what might be
termed controlled initiation. The
other group expects people to be
cautious and unwilling to spend their
accumulated savings. What will
happen probably WIN be determined
by the extent and promptness with
which civilian industry absorbs the
millions Of men being discharged
from war industries, those Temporal
rily idle, and the discharged men
from the armed services.
The committee for economic de-
velopment has issued a report which
gives business mems estimates OF
postwar markets for manufactured
goods. These estimates are 0pti-
mistic. The committee points out
that the postwar years can roughly
be divided into three periods: first,
short period of reconversion, which
may last through 1916; second, from
1916 or early 1917, for a year of
deferred orders, and the last, period
of self-sustaining.
Although Secretary Anderson in
dlcated that meat rationing was on
the way out, possibly matter of
months, storage stocks are relatively
low, and 1t is expected that the
strong demands for meats win be
maintained long enough to absorb
the rather heavy movement of cattle
and hogs that is anticipated during
the fall and early winter months.
Range conditions have been excel
lent, and cattle men report that the
ranchers are In mood to carry
larger than normal supplies Of range
cattle over winter rather than to sell
them at substantial discounts now.

factors, the prices received for
farm products and the prices that
the farmer must pay for what he
buys. Obviously, if prices of farm
products go up twenty-five per
cent, the farmer will receive more
cash, but, if, in the meantime, the
prices that the farmer must pay
for what he buys have increased
fifty per cent, the farmer has suf-
fered loss of twenty per cent in
purchasing power.
The cash income of farmers dur
ing the first half of 1915 was at a
record high rate, but, because the
price level Of goods which the
farmers buy went up faster, there
was a reduction of 80 per cent in
the farmers purchasing power in
the first half of this year as COM
pared with the first half of last
year. ~,

Diversification Nonsense

THERE is a lot of nonsense,
spoken and written, about the
diversification of agriculture, with
most Of the speakers and writer's
assuming that all that is neces-
sary, in order to diversity, is the
mental inclination to shift crops.
The diversification of agricul-
ture, which means a division of
crops and the abandonment. of a
one-crop system, depends primari-
ly upon the development of ade-
quate markets. 1t also depends
upon adequate financing of other
crops. In securing markets and
financing, the individual farmer is
almost helpless and a complete
fulfillment of these essentials re-
quires the concerted efforts of the
business interests of given area.
