BASKET-BALL
Last Friday night a large crowd
viewed a lively game between Raven
na girls team and our team. The game
was fast all the way through, especial
ly the last half, when .Ravenna saw
that she was losing and did her level
best to the last. The girls promised our
girls a good fight but they certainly
found out they were not the only ones
and that our girls could also more
•han tear things up. At the end of the
first half the score stood 4 to 8 in our
favor, and at the end of the second
10 to 18 in our favor.
The Boy Scouts also played a game
The teams were not a match at all.
; Ravenna made nearly all her scores
i o* fouls and the score was 5 to 20 at
! ’he end of the first half and 11 to 38 at
| end. We certainly have some
| creditable basket ball teams to be
; proud ot

Moses Warner and his Lyons Mir
ror made such an impression during
the early days that advertising which
was done then is still bearing results.
It is related that twenty years ago a
man advertised in the Mirror for a
watch which he lost. Recently a far
mer living near Lyons found the watch
in his corn field, and took it to the
Mirror office. Warner’s acute famili
arity with primeval days enabled him
to remember the advertisement and
the description and the owner of the
watch. Although the timepiece had
been plowed under and over and had
“watched” the corn from seed time
to harvest for twenty years, it was as
good as new. and when wound, started
off with oldtime enthusiasm, soon prov
ing its ability to keep perfect time. But
the man who owned the watch could
not wait for the advertisement to work
He died seventeen years ago. Mr. War
ner wants to deliver the watch to the
owner, and we believe his resourceful
brain will figure out a way to do it.
Thus, if a want ad does not bring re
sults immediately don't be discour
aged.—Wayne Herald.

The Boy Scouts and Gampfire girls
staged their entertainment on Friday
evening in the auditorium of the new
school building to a crowded house.
Every member on the program brought
a burst of laughter and applause from
' the enthusiastic audience. It was said
| to be the best seen in years in the line
of |ome talent productions. Assistant
Scoutmaster. Robert Haines, deserves
much credit because this production
from the first member to the last was
essentially his own and in its arrange
ment and staging he shows much skill
and genius, for those taking the sevo
rals roles of the production we must
j say it was an all star cast. Each plav
' ed their part almost faultlessly and
with as much class as many profes
sional of years experience. Special
mention must be made of our star co
medians. Wilford Gibson, and Paul
Miller, who kept the audience in a
roar as long as they were on the stage.
You may be sure when the scouts and
campfire girls again put on an enter
tainment they are certain to havo a
full house. We want them to come soon
with another one. An address was giv
■
en by Rev. Troy describing the origin
of the scout movement. See the work
being done by the boy scouts in Eng
land. not as soldiers but doing a man's
rork in government.

send unsigned letters to newspapers.
Before an editor publishes an article
that is in any way a crtttcism. he
wants to know who the author of
that article is. The name need not be
published in connection with the ar
tide, but the editor must have the au
thor's name as a sort of defense shou’a
anyone come in and demand an excla
mation through the barrel of a shot
cun. We receive these unsigned arti
cles every week, and we imagine this
is no less than the nine hundredth
time that we have stated they are
given no attention. If the writer is
afraid to assume responsibility, why
ask us to do so?
