I ■ - — - - T he Fourth Down By Willie Punt The D.H.S.Yellow Jackets and their coaches. Kidd and Curtis, are putting in some hard licks this week in preparation for their opening football game of the season here Saturday afternoon, despite the many attractions of Old Home Week. One member of the squad. Raymond Heller, is out of practice with an injured shoulder. He sustained a fracture i f the right collar bone in practice last week, but did not learn of the seriousness of (he injury until three days! later. The new gridiron at the Country I Club was being laid out today and it 1 was planned to hold a scrimmage there i this afternoon. What’s This? “Tlie Mclntcsh high school will have the most formidable football team this season since tile reorganization of the sport locally a number of years ag.i. “This first game of the season will I lie played next Saturday with the De-1 catur high school eleven at Decatur. ’’Hany Hathaway will play this year and other students in the lineup include William Huntei formerly of Las Cruces, New Mexico. Ward McCallister formerly of Manitowoc, Wis„ George Kee of Chicago, Floyd McNamara of Kendallville. Clair Tlmberlin of Grand Ledge, Mich., and Fred Quance of Fort Wayne. “Daytcn Rieke, James Huffman, Hip-1 . kind. Murphy ami Groscop are all loi cal players who will contribute toward ! making one of the heaviest lines in ! many years “The six games scheduled for the 1 season fallows: September 15 with Decatur at Decatur; September 22 , Fort Wayne North Side here; Septem- , her 29. Fort Wayne Central here, Oc-i ! tober 6 with Bluffton at Bluffton. Oc-i i tober 13 witli Kendallville at Kendallville and the last game October 201 with Garrett at Garrett.” —Aubqrn Star. Wonder what the attraction is in Auburn. Looks like the immigration bais bad been let down, somewhat. Fifty-three candidates turned out for the initial practice at Van Wert high school this week.

The General Electric band furnisned the band accompaniments in great . vie. Eve;’ patients at the, Adams County Memorial hospi'al were able to hear the band music and they -'-old atter lants they enjoyed every bit of it. I *qhting Effects Splendid Tlie Luge spot'i: ht.-i an I other li r'it,ng e''• cis were lui risked by the city under 'he direction of M. J. Mylott, superintendent <>t the ? ty light and power companv, ami a corps of trv employees. The lighting effects were splendid and helped greatly in the success of the drama. The rowd was handled by a corps of special policemen r.nd Foy Scouts, and those in charge stated that more than 1,500 automobiles were parked in ihe vicinity of the Country Club. Thousands also walked to the scene of the pageant. Officials estimated the crowd it between 7.000 and 9,000. Amid the strains of appropriate music, the spotlights were first thrown on the Herald, France Confer, who proclaimed the pageant, representing the various stages of Adams county history, would start.

■ j Mrs. Dan Tyndall. Mrs. Tyndall, appearing on the top of the hill, walked I slowly down the steps on to the stage, i where she sang an Indian love song | The Decatur Lodges of Pocohontas and Red Men assisted by the Moliroej ville Red Men then came on the scene : representing Indian days in Adams ! county. J Tills setting was particulalry atI tiactive witli the six tepees forming | a background against the outline of the hill and the campfire burning in the twilight hours. One could almost imagine themselves in an Indian encampment as tlie first settlers of the county, danced around their campfire, j met their visiting tribe, and smoked ! the pipe of peace with them. As the Indians set fire to the tepees and made their exit, led by the Indian Spirit, at the close of the episode, they received a big hand from the audience, who lu.’tily expiessed their appreciation of this episode. Tlie second episode was entitled the "Spirit of Wilderness." Mrs. J. 11. Heller, representing the spirit of ! Gene Stratton Porter, Adams county's lieloved authoress, descended the steps, announced by the Herald. The spirit of Mrs. Porter then planted the various flowers and trees. Girls and boys of all ages represented the various plant life. In order, came the daisies, wild roses, butterflies. poppies, dryads, grass hopI pets and blue birds, each dancing or i singing. Following an ensemble dance, the various groups left the i stage and the trees, tree nymphs and

■ mist maidens entered. One of the most beautiful scenes was the entrance of the pioneers and the covered wagon. Hundreds were in the audience who themselves hail j come to Adams county in that same manner or who had heard tlieir fathers talk of that method of transportation. Many tears were wiped from eyes as the pioneers entered, cut down the trees ami settled in Adams county. Following the entrance of the pioneers, the pioneer children danced. The Herald then appeared and introduced the Spirit of Patriotism, represented by Mrs. E. G. Coverdale. Mrs. Coverdale descended the steps onto the stage as tlie pioneers left. Then came the spirit of the state represented by Miss Katherine Hyland. The Little Town interests appeared led bv Flora Marie Lankenau. and fol lowed with a dance, which centered around the Spirit of State and little Town Spirit. The Grown Town Interest, interpreted by Miss Alta Teeple, then entered. Following were the Grown Town Interests, who formed a tableau picture at the hack. The W. C. T. U., represented by 35 members of the i local organization, entered singing "Wind the Ribbon Around the Nation.” I Then came tlie surviving members of the Grand Army of tlie Republic, rep resenting the "Spirit of Yesterday.”

THE CIGAR THAT BROUGHT THE NICKEL BACK Have you surrendered to the idea that five cents can no longer buy an enjoyable cigar? Here’s one that 1 not only disputes that idea, but gives your nickels the biggest cigarbuying power they ever had: Havana Ribbon. So enormous is the production of this widely known favorite that the manufacturers are able to use tobaccos you generally find only in higher priced cigars. Think of it! ... No bitter, raspy under-ripe top leaves of the tobacco plant. No flat, insipid over-ripe bottom leaves. No crumbling “scraps.” Long-filler, fully-ripe middle leaves from heart towrapper! Know whnt that means? A smoke so true, smooth, fragrant, flavorful and mellow-mild you’ll scarce believe your taste. Man, find, beg or borrow a nickel! Do a quick-step to the nearest cigar counter and sail into a Havana Ribbon! Better still, corral a quarter, buy a Practical Pocket Package at five and make the whole day a song of smoke contentment.

One of the finest demonstrations ever given anyone was shown by the crowd as the G. A. R., witli six members, and Hie old drum corps, which appeared in every celebration in Decatur for years appeared. The old soldiers entered to the tune of America and stood through the remainder of the episode with heads bared. The “Spirit of Today,” represented by the Boy Scouts, then entered and a beautiful scene was the presentation of tlie flag and then a flag drill by the "Grown Town Interests.” The "Spirit of New America.” represented by Miss Vivian Lynch, appeared followed by groups representing various nationalities settling in the county, including the English, Scotch. Swedish, Dutch. Russian and French. The recessional included every participant of the three episodes led by the spirit of the episode. Each group of children in the pageant was chaperoned during the evening and each was returned to his home following the pageant. The thousands of people, with hearts still thrilling, ’eft the open air theatre, with eyes misty proud of their affiliations with Adams county, and thus ended the banner attraction of the Old Home Week celebration. The huge success of this stupendous production devolves upon many individuals. It was the co-operation cf those taking part; Miss Elizabeth Peterson and Mrs. Frank Downs and their committee who were responsible | for the beautiful and colo. fill c. stumes

so highly complimented by all: Mrs , J. E. Elberson and M.s. John Tyndall ’ and their group of chaperones, who so carefully ami painstakingly cared f. r the various groups dining rehearsal work and on the night of the production; the property committee, headed by Mrs. Vincent Bormann and Mrs. A. M. Anker, who had charge cf arrang ing for and securing all properties, as well as making the daisy and poppy chains used by the dancing groups; the lighting committee with Mrs. Charles Knapp as chairman, with whom Mr. Mylott and his electricians worked untiringly in securing and installing the immense flood lights and sp.ts, which lighted the pageant grounds; and last hut not least, the Boy Scouts, whose cooperation at the grounds last evening was a splendid example of the training received by the youngsters in their Scout work. The fact that the pageant was free of charge to all made it particularly appreciable, for the committees worked witli limited funds at their disposal and much of the work in connection was d nated by individuals. Many people on the streets today, as well as many of the distinguished guests, expressed themselves that on many occasions they had paid as high as |5, to witness a pageant which failed 1 to equal the one which they were p: ii vilegi-d to view last evening. They highly complimented the individuals ' and children who were so excellent in i their respective parts.
