The fourth and last speaker of the
^evening was Maurice Strohmeler who
talked on "Thrift."    Mr. Strohmnler's
speech was good and  was well liked
I by the audience.
Winner to Qo to Cleveland.
' / When the oratorical contest was
'first arranged each school of Lorain
•county was to send a delegate? to a
county contest to be held ut the county seat, In which a delogate to the district conference in Cleveland would be
Chosen. However, the other schools
of the county failed to put up any
opposition against Amherst and Mr.
Oulld will not only represent Amherst
high school at the district contest in
Cleveland, but also all the schools of
Lorain County. Mr. Plppert will also
go to Cleveland and act as alternate.
The contest in Cleveland will he
held tn about two weeks. Competing
with the Amherst delegate will be
speakers from ull northeastern Ohio,
including seven counties In that section of the state.
There was much class rivalry shown
at the contest tonight. Bach class
was eager for Its representative to
win, but as there could only be one
winner it was awarded to Mr. Oulld.
The entire school and town congratulate Mr. Guild on his victory. They
hope that he will be uble to make
as good a showing in Cleveland in
.two weeks, as he did ln the local
j contest.
• T'ha students and audience the talks
of all the speakers and feel that it
was no disgrace to lose when speeches
of the grade given at this contest
were Judged.
Much   preparation  has  been  made
on the part of each of the speukers.
Those who did not win feel that It
..was excellent training for them and
will   work   harder   for   victory   next
I time.
There was also music to spice the
program of the evening. The girls'
glee club of the high school gave several selections while several solos and
duets were rendered by students of
the school. _
The faculty of the school are well
. pleased both with the efforts of the
speakers and with the interest shown
by the audience. It surely was u
great success and as It was the first
to be held ln Amherst, the teachers
.ara proud of the tact
Tho high school girls have schedulei
a game with the Castalla high school
girls' f*Wf for Saturday night. There
will be no boys' game.
The game has not been extensively
advertised because of the lateness
in scheduling the game, but a large
crowd Is hoped for.
Amherst was defeated at Castalla
several weeks ago but the game was
played In a poor gymnasium and the
locals have great confidence In winning  Saturday  night.

EA&LE8 BUY  BODMANN  PLACE.
The Eagles Lodge has purchased the
Bodmann property on the corner of
Church and Tenney streets.    It was
.*" done for investment. There Is a house
and a soft drink parlor, operated by
Ous Blschoff on the property.
The Eagles will^form a Home club
and stock ln this newly purchased
property will be sold to Eagles only.
It is thought that in time the Eagles
will erect a brick building tor their
'!$ olub rooms, but  nothing  definite has
\ been decided upon.     '
The high school teams proved themselves up to standard Saturday evening when they defeated the Alumni
as they always do. The members of
the Alumni team this year were certain that the matter would look different after the game than ln former
times, but they failed to show the
goods. * .
The girls' game was easy for the
high school. The high guards were
good and allowed but two Held baskets, both made by Grace Purcell, who
played the best for the Alumni. Dorothy Sage of the high school was there
with her usual shooting eye and in the
second half rolled 'em in faster than
the score keeper could mark them
down. Ethel McQueen, center and
Ellse Egll also played fine games at
their positions. -
On the Alumni team. Pauline Purcell and Margaret Bodmann did their
best ut guard while Lucille Delss and
Helen Menz did not have many opportunities to shoot in their forward positions.
H. 8. Boys Prove Mettle.
Before the boys' game started it
was the general belief of the crowd
that the Alumni would have no trouble In defeating the high school, but
when the game was over It happened
that the high school team had no
trouble in defeating the Alumni and
the rooters for the latter went uway
from the gym down at the mouth.
In the flrst half the winners could
not be determined. The score ran almost even, with the high school having u little edge most of the time.
When the second half started the
doom of the Alumni began. Not a
field goal was made in the last half
by the Alumni.
On the high school team the guards
Edwards and Plppert should be given
credit for the victory. Their work
against Chippy Bruce was what won
the game for the high school. Chippy could not dribble i-ast the guards
at uny time of the gume. He made
only 11 points, a small number In
comparison to his usual count.
Hearn at center and Belden and
Monger ut forward positions ulso
pluyed greut gumes. Monger wus
uble to pile up 12 points while Hearn
made 15.    Belden counted 8.
It was a fast game und both teams
were eager. The high school proved
superior, which leans us to believe that
young blood Is better than old, altho
the Alumni team put up a good game
and   did   their  best.
DR. AND MRS.  H. W. POWERS

C. H. Purcell. commander and Dr.
G. M. Parker, War Risk Insurance
officer of the local Post, American
Legion attended a convention of all
the posts and county councils of northeastern Ohio held at the American
Legion clubrooms In Cleveland Sunday. Every post and county council
ln this section of the state was represented at the convention. The Amherst delegates say It was one ot the
biggest of its kind that they have
ever attended. They say that much
knowledge was gained by their attendance and are sure that they have
a big message for the local post.
The flrst speaker ot the afternoon
was Major Chest ley. superintendent
of the war risk Insurance bureau of
Washington. D. C. He talked on the
problems and conditions of the disabled soldiers and how the soldiers
are paid  for their disability.
The next speaker was Mr. Martin,
state secretary of the Ohio American
Legion. He spoke on the different
aspects of the bonus proposition und
the work thut had been done along
that line. He explained the different
offers that are to be given to the soldiers If the bill passes Congress. It
is now in the hands of the Ways and
Means committee of the House of
Representatives.
The bonus proposition is causing
much discussion at the present time.
There ure many who are ln fuvor of
the measure and others who are not.'
At present the lawmakers of our country are at work trying to decide the
measure and amend It if necessary.
Majority Stlckney of the department
of medlcul supervision of the U. S.
Public heulth of Ohio. Ind. und Ky.
spoke to the uudlence of Legion members on the wuy the hospitals were
taking care of the disabled soldiers
in this country. He gave many pointers which help those present to aid
in taking care of the disabled at home.
A complete report will be read at
the next meeting by the delegates of
all speeches and the proceedings of
the convention. The delegates feel
that it was a great affair and wish to
bring ln full detail all tiie proceedings
before all the members of the post
At the next meeting the bonus prop
osition will be fully explained. The
different offers will be brought up and
the Legion members will then know
whut some men ln Congress today are
lighting for.
The American Legion has worked
to bring some sort of a bonus proposition before the law makers ot the
nation and have Anally succeeded.
To what end it will come is not ki.own
but the more optimistic look for u
favorable report "from the House committee. •
In a note written by Dr. H. W. Powers who with Mrs. Powers has been
spending a short time In Nscw Orleans,
La., he says:
"We aro starting for homo Tuesday
and expect to arrive in Amberst by
Friday night. Have hud a good month
of work In the hospital here, the clinics Is wonderful. We have had a good
time on the side sightseeing In this
interesting city. Will tell you some
thing about it when I see you."
The doctor appreciates this change
of scene for a short time and altho
he has been Improving his time, he
will undoubtedly come back to his
work with renewed energy.

Mrs. Vincei.t of South Amherst was
able to return to her home from the
hospital lust  Thursday.

Spring street.
It wus not enough for Allen Dwan,
producer of "Soldiers of Fortune," by
Kichurd Haidlng Davis, to know what
the people of the novel wore or the
geographic location of the story. How-
did Davis' character talk? A story
luiel in South Amerlcu, In a certain province of u certuin country, must be
filmed true to the given place. "If
the shake of the head means, 'yes' to
the natives and no word UBed, substitute the motion for the word," said
Dwan.
How the people lived came in for its
full share of Dwansque scrutiny. Did
the people live on fatty foods? Were
they athletic? Did they have to tight
hard for existence or was nature bountiful'.' Many similar questions came
up which had lo be answered correctly If Dawn would cust true to
type. The theutergoer cusuully observing the film on his favorite screen
will never guess what research meant
in connection with this production.
And the little matter of locations-
thai just, unfold neatly for the spectator on his handy screen! After u
futile search Dwun decided to hunt
for locutions vlu the air route. Accompanied by his associate, Arthur
Kossotn, the trip was made, souring
until suitable locations were sighteel
and   clinched.
The cutting and editing of the picture Dawn trusted to no one. He
Installed a projection room in his summer home so us to give tbls brunch
of the* work all his spare lime.
"Soldiers of Fortune," will be seen
at the Kmpire theater Sunday afternoon and evening.
Suturday   ul   the     Empire     George
Walsh  will be seen lu   "The  Manhat
tan   Knight."
