Winter Returns
As Mercury Drops
From High of 80

The weather up until today has
been more like late spring than
fall, with high of "a degrees on
Tuesday and 30 degrees on We'd

Today the weather settled back
down to a normal low of 40 de-
grees, which seems more con-
sistant with the time of year.
There was a light shower in
the Marysville area last night,
with a total precipitation of .01
inches. Following is the weather

Heavy Vote Is Anticipated Tuesday
Monarchs Hoping
For Return To
Victory Tonight
Bellefontaine Foe;
Clean but Hard-F ought
Game is in Store

After dropping their first game
in IL starts at WeSterville last
Friday, Marysville high school
football team will attempt to re-
sumo their winning ways when
they meet the strong Bellefont-
aine high team this evening.
The game is being played to-
night instead of Friday because
of the annual central Ohio teach
ers meeting in Columbus this
weekend. 1t will be played at
Bellefontaine.
Tonight's foe is one of the old
est athletic rivals which Marys-
vile has. The two schools have
been playing each other in foot
ball, basketball and other sports
for more than 80 years, and their
annual clashes always bring
plenty of excitement.
Bellefontaine's record, so far
as games won and lost is con-
cerned, is not as impressive as
Marysville's, but the Chieftans
have been up against some right
powerful grid combinations.
They opened with 20-12 vic
tory over Urbana, lost to Sidney
20-7, beat Bluffton 1870 and Wa
pakoneta 35-7, lost to Van Vert
14-13, defeated Celina 10, then,
last week, lost to the undefeated
st. MaryS club 26-14.
Seven Letterman
Grid Coach Owen Shirk and
his assistant Richard Flowers
have had seven returned letter
men around whom to wind their
1850 squad. The seven are Bill
Barker, Jerry Ritter, Bill Barlow,
Bob Johns, Jack Richie, Fred
Rambo and Marvin Green.
Thursdays probably starting
lineup will include: Lee Will
Jams at left end, Doug MacGil-
livray or John Downing at left
tackle, Blair Webster or jim
Park at left guard, Jerry Ritter
at center, Gene Palmer at right
guard, Jim Tullis or Mike Carey
at right tackle, Lawrence Rat
left or Fred Rambo at right end,
Marvin Green at right half, Bill
Barlow at left half, Jack Richie
at quarterback and Bill Barker
at fullback. Bob Johns will kick
for the extra points.
So far this season, Bill Barlow
has proven himself the power
house of the Chieftains' camp,
with great support coming from
Marvin Green, Jack Richie, and
Bill Barker. The Chieftains for
ward wall carries a hard punch,
which has held back several good
playing teams this season, such
as Bluffton, Van Vert and Celina.
Evans Still Limping
Coach Paul Wenzel expects
his team to be at full strength
for tonight's encounter with
Bellefontaine, with the possible
exception of John Evans. The
speedy half-back's hip is still sore
from the injury he received in the
London game. He will probably
play on the offense tonight, but
it is doubtful if he will be at full
speed or do much ball-carrying.
The probably starting lineup
will be:
Ends, Charles McCracken and
James Kleiber; tackles, Robert
Dutro and Jerry Ruble; guards;
David Dayton and Edward Low;
center, David Linzinmeir; quar-
terback, James Dayton; half
backs, Gene Wood and Evans;
and fullback, James Hoffman.

Waupon: Will you please give us
the origin and meaning of the name
Wisconsin?-L. l..
A. Wisconsin is of Indian origin.
But, according to the State Histori-
cal Society. the exact form Of the
original Indian name is very much
in doubt. AS to the meaning, it,
too, is uncertain. According to
various theories, the name may
mean, "a good place for a home, -
or "the river" or "the river of flow
cry banks" or gathering Of the
waters" or wild rushing channel" +"

Bucky tried not to show his dis
appointment at the horse Santa had
made him. 1t was finely carved
stick, strong yet slender, with the
end curved forward like a head and
a narrow strip of leather looped
through the notched mouth.
Its great" said Bucky politely.
'It Is a very special horse" said
Santa. For the right cowboy it
might do anything-even win a
race through the Northern Lights"
Santa, said Bucky, Il will do my
best but I do not even know what
the Northern Lights are"
Santa took Bucky by the hand
and led him outdoors. The night
was sharp and clear. Santa pointed
over the horizon and Bucky saw
what he'd been far too excited to
notice before.
Great shafts Of red and yellow
lights almost encircled Santa Land.
Whether they streamed from the
heavens or from the earth, Bucky
could not tell. They moved, some in
arches like rainbows, some straight
like big colored poles.
TITS the Aurora Borealis-the
great Northern Lights" said Santa.
mo one has ever ridden through
them or even been close enough to
touch them. In the race you must
ride in one end and out the other
and then back to Santa Land"
Bucky's fingers frightened on
Santa's hand. He was afraid.
Santa understood. ''If you do not
want to try it," he said, you need
not"
What will happen If do not
win?" whispered Bucky.
II dare not think about it." said
Santa. THE Jindians have Dasher
my best reindeer. They say they
will burn the shops. The Jindians
love no one and would not care at
all if Christmas never came to the
world again"
"a Cowboy Always Wins"
Don't worry" said Bucky soberly.
"I'm sure I can win. A cowboy
always wins"
He was not nearly so sure as he
sounded. Still when Mrs. Claus
finally put him to bed for a few
hours rest he dropped off to sleep
at once for he knew that worry
never did anybody any good and
that tomorrow would take care of
itself.
The next morning in the half
light Of the Northern day Chief
Hurricane and all his tribe rode into
Santa Land. From their midst rode
Lonesome Boy. Bucky's hopes fell
when he saw the strong black horse
the Jindian had. Straight to
Bucky came Lonesome Boy.
Where your horse?" he asked in
q low voice.

old Jindian has!"
So he ran till his breath was hard
to get and his legs were stiff and
sore and ready to crumple. The
cold wind made tears run from his
eyes. A pain in his chest grew
sharper every second.
The Jindians hooted. The fairy
folk moaned. Mrs. Claus chewed
the end of her apron, worriedly.
Santa alone seemed hopeful. His
eyes sparkled. If you had watched,
you would have seen him whispering
strange words to himself.
What words they were I do not
know but surely they were very
powerful. Suddenly the cherry stick
between Bucky's galloping legs was
not stick at all but stalwart
chestnut horse, as fine and strong
and swift horse as you would
ever want to see. The astonished
cowboy leaned over the horses neck.
"Oh, wonderful beautiful Fellow"
he whispered.

That it is not good business to
deposit money in a bank that is
about to close is a generally &C
cepted truth. I say generally ac-
cepted because there are some
card players who apparently do
not subscribe to that view The
West of todays hand was one such
player.
North and South reached a final
contract of three no-trump which
seemed more or less natural, though
1t will be observed that a contract
of four hearts could have been full
filled against any defense. The
game contract in hearts might have
been reached had South chosen to
rebid only two no-trump on the
third round. North might then
have served as clear warning to
South that his partner could not
provide further club shoppers and,
having first and second round tricks,
he might have chosen to go on to
four hearts.
The four of clubs was opened and
East played the king. He was per-
mitted to hold the trick and con-
tinued with the ten. This, too,
declarer ducked and it held. The
third round Of the suit was taken
by the ace and the hearts were run.
With the club suit established
against him, declarer's one hope
was that the ace Of spades was
with East. The ten of spades was
therefore led and, since East was
unable to return his partners suit,
declarer scored 10 tricks.
West had committed decided
error. At the second trick when
A East returned the ten of clubs and
declarer followed with the nine, it
became quite evident that the club
suit could be established in another
lead. But what earthly good would
1t do to store up club tricks when
West knew that the doors to his
hand were permanently closed?
Nothing short of an act of magic
would enable him ever to obtain the
lead to cash the club tricks. Some
other suit must be found in which
to take tricks If the contract were to
be defeated. Obviously, the only
suit that offered any kind of hope
was diamonds. West, should, there
fore, have overtaken the ten of
clubs with the jack for the purpose
Of abandoning the suit. A shift to
the ten of diamonds would have
built up two tricks in that suit for
his partner while he still retained
the ace OF spades for entry.
It rarely pays to plug away at
hopeless suits when it is evident
that declarer will soon have
enough running tricks to fulfill con-
tract.

est, one especially since the pro-
prietor is still living, and perhaps
practicing his profession at the
same location given in the ad of

In the same paper is an ad by a
clothing store, the son of one of the
original partners still being in the
clothing business, although not by
the same name. This is an ad by
McCardell Brothers. Part of which
reads: ELEGANT AND ATTRAC-
TIVE A No. l Goods of the class

''Tll meet you at McCrory's." So
it goes today, for the new store,
especially with its cool air in hot
weather, is a popular place to meet
the rest of the family Not a little
part of this is because of Nhe spac-
iousness, for there is plenty of
room.
But l recently received a pho
tograph and letter from a reader,
Mr.. Harry M. Foreman, of Sharps-
burg, which shows the same store,
or that is to say ''McCrory's" store
as it was in the old days, about
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1950-08-03

As years ago. 1t was located where
part of the present store is, with
the entrance just about where the
set of doors nearest the alley are
today.
By referring to the picture, you
can see that the store was quite
different from the store of today,
in several ways. First as to it's
size. And as to general appearance,
the store no doubt was typical of
all stores of those days. Note es-
pecially the goods stored on shelves
the entire height of the walls. But
it is interesting to see that there
is a great resemblance in the open
display tables, of course minus the
glass and polish Of modern cases.
But one of the most interesting
things of all is the fact that it was
truly a ten-cent store. Mr.. Fore
man says that there was not any
article in the store that sold for
more than ten cents. If you look
closely at the pictures, you can see
the 10f signs. Candy, near the
front, was ten cents a pound. The
dishes and the toy drums, ten cents
And the cuspidors, ten cents each.
Steel-rimmed eyeglasses, ten cents;
dolls, ten cents; and the store had
a surprising variety of goods in
spite of the low top price.
On the second floor, over Nc
Crory's store, there was a photo
gallery, operated by Mr. William
H. King. However, this was quite
part of the ten-cent store.
Now to identify the people in
the McCrory picture. The gentle
man near the front on the left, is
the manager, Mr.. Nathaniel Saner.
Next to him is one of the clerks,
Mrs. Annie (BaechtelD Bonebrake.
Near the center of the picture, near
the back. of the store, is Mr.. Fore
man, the owner of these pictures,
who was at that time warehouse
man for McCrory's In front of Mr..
Foreman is an unknown customer,
a lady of the Plain Faith. To the
extreme right, is another clerk,
Miss Bess Munday, sister of the
Jeweler, Munday. Farther back
is clerk, Miss Helen Zeigler,
who is no longer living. And in
the extreme rear of the store, is
the cashier, Mrs. Lena (Over) Mid
dlekauff, also no longer living.
These six employees make another
interesting comparison with the
McCrory's store of today.
And now about the other pic
ture, which was also loaned by Mr..
Foreman.
No doubt many of you have seen
advertisements in old newspapers,
picturing baby, with the words,
THE Baby's Comfort, and Mothers
Friend" This is DR.. Fahrney's Teeth
ing Syrup. The advertisement reads
further, "Once tried, always used.
