REPULSES THE ENEMY
One of the business men of the
city who in the days before the war
was engaged in the disposition of
more than Famo and Pablo, had an
experience a few days ago that will
long linger in his recollection and
his opinion of the fair sex as war
riors has greatly risen since his en
counter with thffone in question.
It seems that this family was about
to depart from the city and among
other things that, they had were sev
eral cases of empty bottles that had
once contained more than 2.75 per
cent of joy water and the owner of
the bottles desired to have them re
turned so that he might receive cred
it upon them from the wholesaler.
To secure the bottles the services of
Chief Manspeaker was secured and
the businessman and the chief has
tened to the depot where the family
were departing. In the melee that
ensued the law escaped without in-
Jury but the full fury of the enemy
barrage and counter attack fell on
the unlucky business man and he
was severely shaken by the infuriat-

Nevertheless the team had quite an

joyed the visit in i-pite of their de

for supper after the game which was
much enjoyed in spite the facf that
conversation ran at a low ebb. Ver

Thanks to George Washington

Tuesday morning Mrs. K. II. Wes
cott came over and led one of the
most enjoyable assembly song fests
that we've ever had. An interesting
feature of the incident was the sim
ultaneous singing of "Keep the
Home Fires Burning" and "There's
a Long, Long Trail" by opposite
sides of the assembly. This is the
national community sing week and
Sunday afternoon the music lovers
cf the community are urged to be

Great stuff. Miss Weyrich.
We had quite a little rally Wed
nesday. The Falls City team came
up on the platform where we could
look them over. Good looking bunch
too. It was a shame to massacre
them like we did. but this is to be
said of them: they played a straight,
clean game and fought right up to
the last whistle in spite of our over
whelming lead in points. They are
dandy good sports.
The eighth graders are quite tic
kled over their victory Well, why
not? They deserved it the way they
played.
Rev. Hunter favored us with a
short talk Thursday morning which
was well flavored with pep and

"Getting By and showed that the
world demands more of him who
would be successful than just merely

Tonight is the night we've got to
scalp Nebraska City. They're going
to bring a bunch of rooters and lots

them home a sadder and wiser outfit.
Nebraska City played a stiff game

us. Everybody out tonight and help
turn the tables on them.
