' / 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. HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN DEFEATS ALUMNI WALKS AWAY WITH TWO VICTORIES SAT. NIOHT PROM "OLD BIRDS" SATES BRING CONVENTION REPORT 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 STARTED HOME TUESDAY HEAR MANY NOTED MEN TALK ON TOPICS INTERESTING TO LEGION. 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.

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."

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.
