Bay City Wins Second Game
By One Point—Score
7 to 6.
We believe that all who saw
the football game at Bay City
last Friday will agree that it was
the best and at the same time
our hardest game of the season.
We knew what was before us,
and we started our heavy work
right in our first quarter. Dur-
idg this quarter Bay City made
and also her ex-
tra point. In the second quarter
with our line plunges we went
from one end of the field to the
other and finished with a touch-
down. However, we failed to
make our extra point. In the
last half neither side made any
great plays—only hard and des-
perate fighting. Bay City only
beat us by one point.
We might have taken this de-
feat and set a date for another
game, but a disagreement came
at the close of the game, and we
have written to the State Foot-
ball League to settle the matter.
We do not know as yet what the
result will be.
For the last week several of
the rooms have been wondering
where those sweet, soul-thrilling
melodies have been coming from.
Every morning they have come
floating into the halls and cloak
rooms from seemingly nowhere.
For those who are still in doubt
we would suggest that you turn
your ears toward the Senior
rooms where Flora Lee Sansom
has been leading the Seniors in
their morning songs in the hope
of developing some individual
talent.
We are slowly coming back to
ourselves again since the shock
of last week. When the report
cards were given out our self-
control was forgotten for awhile.
Quite a few of our students held
special sessions with the teach-
ers behind closed doors. Some
of the teachers say the argu-
ments put up by their callers
were fine. A lot of resolutions
and promises were also made,
but how many will be kept re-
mains to be seen.
Word was received by Joseph
Stain brook from his son-in-law,
Paul Trowbridge, that his moth-
er, Mrs. O. A. Trowbridge, had
been run down by an^auto and
instantly killed the afternoon of
October 31st. Mrs. Trowbridge
was returning from a visit to the
hospital where her husband had
but a few days before had his
foot amputated. On one of the
crossings a young man who had
just bought a new car and who
seemed not fully acquainted with
it run over Mrs. Trowbridge,
whose clothing was caught and
the body dragged for nearly a
block before the young man could
get the car stopped. Mr. and
Mrs. Trowbridge Sr., spent two
..winters here when their son,
Paul Trowbridge, had the dairy,
and made many friends who will
be grieved to hear of the tragic
death of so good a woman.

W. C. T. U. Notes.
(Press Agent)
What is the Eighteenth Amend-
ment to the Constitution of the
United States?
The Eighteenth Amendment
prohibits the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors.
Intoxicating liquor is a liquor
that will intoxicate, or addle the
brain of one who swallows it,
causing the drinker to behave in
a foolish or insane manner, mak-
ing him or her a dangerous per-
son to roam at large or at the
very least a shameful nuisance.
Lighf. wines and beer are intox-
icating if enough of them are
swallowed. Therefore to permit
the manufacture and sale of light
wines and beer would virtually
violate or repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment. A dry law is a dry
law. Not easy to enforce, but
there is every indication that it
is being approved and honestly
and earnestly enforced. If it is
claimed that intoxicating liquor
can still be obtained, it can also
be claimed that banks are still
robbed and cold blooded murder
committed in spite of law and
penalties.
The P. T. A. Bazaar committee
ask that if possible those who are
to donate fancy work to the ba-
zaar leave it at the Nester Drug
store Friday afternoon. If you
haven't been solicited you were
probably hot at home when the
committee called and if you have
the good of the schools at heart
will you bring some donation
anyway?

Sunday the 11th, Armistice
Day, was a most beautiful day of
sunshine and springlike air here
in Palacios, but whether warm
or cold the day was no doubt ap-
propriately observed throughout
the U. S. and other lands.
One pretty church here filled
with nicely dressed people, made
a fitting celebration by songs
from the choir and the congre-
gation, the minister's tender,
heart-felt prayer for peace and
his eloquent plea for the World
Court, all combined to inspire
love for the eternal good and
hope for the future.
The great problem of the na-
tions to day is how to bring per-
manent peace to the world.
