HEZE CLARK GIVES OUTLOOK FOR HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL By HEZE CLARK Indianapolis, Aug. 24. —It would not be surprising if the high school foot hall championship would shift to a different section of the state this year. The ranks of the hign school teams

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1923.

have been so depleted by grid men - entering colleges that coaches are faced with the prospect of using much new material to fill the gaps, which l leaves the football prophet at sea when it comes to predictions regard ing the next champion. Whether Emerson High of Gary, will be able to come across in suck smashing style against the state at it did against the strong Elwood and Warsaw aggregations for the champ ionship last year, is a mooted question. Both teams, it will be remembered, had made fine records until ! they crashed into the sons of the steel city. Some line on the class of football material for the coming season wit be obtained from the work of players in the high school football camp at Camp Crpsley, Tippecanoe Lake. This week marked the opening of the camp under the auspices of the Muncie. Y. M. C .A. the camp is open to all high schpol athletes in Indiana. Pet; Vaughn, of Wabash college, will be l in charge of the instruction of the athletes. In picking a possible champion for this year, a critic connot overlook Central High school of Evansville. ; Wiley and Garfield high schools ,of Terre Haute may prove stitmbling blocks in the paths of many teams while Decatur, Warsaw and Elwood must be remembered for the strong teams they put in the field last year. Clinton, Sullivan, Linton, Brazil and other coal mining cities have good chances to develops a championship eleven. Princeton and New Albany promise to be strong on the gridiron The fighting Sheridan high school teams always give the best in the state and a hard battle. Logansport may have another good team, Peru, Wabash, Marion and the two Fori Wayne schools may prove dark horese Muncie, Greenfield, New Castle and ffoblesville all had teams last year and the strength of these elevens would be hard to determine. Michigan City and Renssalaer may prove surprises to their opponents. I In Indianapolis, Manual Training, city champion last year, has lost many star players, including Floyd, an in j comparable lineman. This gives I both Technical and Shortridge hope for the city championship. Reports from all sections of th< ! state indicate that there will be more high schools represented on the gridI irons in 1923 than ever before in the i history of the game. | * 0 ' FEEBLEMINDED CHILDREN Number in State Increase More Rapid In Proportion Than Normal Ones Indianapolis, Aug. 24. —The numbet of feebleminded children in Indiana is increasing twice as rapidly in pro- , portion to their numbers as children of normal mentality, according to the j report of investigators for the state ' committee on mental defectives. ; The state committee at the annual t

state conferenre on chnrtttes at Anderson late In September will recommend the establishment of psycopathIc hospitals, mental clinics for the courts, and will take a definite stand for state laws to prevent the confltiment of Insane persons In county Jails, The committee will also recommend the mental examination of school children so that feeble minded ones may be placed under supervision ami given the special attention they need. One of the most serious problems confronting the committee Is the development of adequate protective treatment. — „. . New Rank Is Opened At Redkey Thursday The Union State Bank, Redkey's new hanking institution, which takes the plaee of the Fanu-rs Strte Hank and the Bank of Redkey, opened its doors Thursday morning fo r the transaction of regular banking business. - The directors of the new bank are: William Appenzeller, C. C. Ayrea James R. Fleming and Alpheus Adair, of Portland, Albert Lutes, G. H. Jones and Ed Goodrich. The hoard was or ganiied by election. William Appei> zeller, president; C. C. Ayres, vice president; Eugene Shafer, cashier; John Current, assistant cashier and Clara Appenzeller, bookkeeper. The. Bank of Redkey building will be used by the new hank for temporary quar ters. The Bank of Redkey affairs will he gradually taken over by the Union State Bank under proper legal pro eedure, and in order to expedite matters the directors have decided to return checks that were written by depositors to apply to the $35,000 trust fund to ofset the $91,000 worth of notes that had been set out by State Bank Examiner Whicker. These checks are. now in the mail and the letter accompanying states that the plan was not deemed advis-

able at this time and subscribers are thanked for their valued co-operation and assistance in the effort to open the bank. The Union State Dank will not cash checks drawn on either the Bank of Redkey or the Farmers State Bank of Redkey, until further notice as a great amount of detail work is yet to be done to complete preparations according to law, but it was thought best to open the Union State Bank immediately in order to provide the community with hanking facilities which are much needed. o Horses Wreck Automobile Biuffton, Aug. 24.—While threshing was in progress at the Harry Studebaker farm north of the city, Wednesday afternoon, a team of horses belonging to Charles Harvey, fright oned and ran away, stoping only aftei they had collided with an automobil*. belonging to James Curry, of neal Murray. The team was hitched to a wagon and the two animals separated when they came to the automobile, the tongue of the wagon sliding over th« hood of the car and tearing off the wind shield and top. The force of the impact caused the automobiU to be dragged fifty feet. When the horses and automobile stopped both animals had their front feet on the rear fenders of the car.

School Situation At Ossian Growing Acute Biuffton, Aug. 24. —With the open j ing of the township schools as sched-1 tiled for two weeks from next Mon-1 day, the school situation in Jefferson township is becoming acute for high school students, since Trustee Todd and the advisory board still have taken no steps that give assurance that the Ossian high school will be reconv missioned the coming year. The state board of inspection, in a communication to the trustee and members of the advisory board, states positively that there will be no recog | nition of the Ossian high school and no commission issued unless the township school officials have taken steps before April, 1924, giving assurance that a new high school building is t! be erected. This does not mean that a new high school shall be built by that time, but that the state board must have assurance by tffat time ot the purpose to bunild a new sichrol.

In less than two years over 75,000 Durant cars, and in less than 12 months, 100,000 Star cars have been placed in the service of owners. Never before has the public evinc-
