In the second game the Sophomores h’d an easy time with the Seniors, winning by the lopsided score of 37-6. Crow was mostly responsible for the high score wit'x eight field gaate and one free throw. The final game was played between the Freshmen and Sc.phmr.cres. In the first ha’f the Freshmen defense locked like a seive and at the half the score stood 13-3 in favor of i.he Sophmeres. In the second half the Freshmen came back strong and although outplaying the Sophomores 12-8, were not ab! ? to overcome the big lead of the first half and went down to defeat, 15-21, with only the hope fur anotihter chance in 1926The players who we think deserve honorable mention for their respective teams were: Seniors, Kehr and Snavely; Juniors. Connolly; S.op homo re s. Shock and Riddle; Freshmen, Bacriman.

I SYRACUSE WOMAN / CONDEMNS CIGARETTES • ■ The following article was ‘ written and r:t o by Mrs Maude Geiger at the test meeting of the W. C. T- U. We as American people pride our 4 elves of cur country- We are egotistical people. We find fault and see tho shortcomings of other nations of trite world, •while within our own bosom we are holding a serpent deadly to our own national hfe- W^e n a natrn fells below certain ston-d-aTd-t it can no longer exist. The ireat nations of the world whiuh ■’ live gone the way of decay have gone that wi. y because of inWtd decay. We read our destine which is cltearly written without heed, or shall we awake and throw off the evil which is desh-ying our morale and dwarfing cur children—l speak of the tobacco evil. This is no new evil, for over four centuries -we have had to contend with it’. During thte 17th century churchmen and statesmen became alarmed over the spread of the tobacco habit Laws were passed against it and habit has ag : ,in taken a new h|old • people and has a stronger hold upon our nation today than ever bpfore. Last year there was consumed four and cue-half billion pounds of tobacco, making an average of two and one-third pounds per person. Fifty years ago the cigarette -was Mmost unknown, todcy it is being used by not only men, but by wumen and childrenas welt The greatest danger from tobrcco is the nicotine that 0 is found in it, as it is a rank po : rin. We as a nation are slowly committing suicide if we centinue we have in the past. Whet chance will the nation heve for existence, wriat chance •will a child have in life whose vitality has 'been sapped by the evils of tobacco? The child effected by the cigarette habit has not an eQual chann? in as the body i* 7 dwarfed, 4 ihe mind is dulled and at last tbje health is impaired end a life of usefulness is cut short. On the other hand, we are turning out a child unfit .to compete in life, to be preyed upon by the forces of evil, who readily turn them into channels of evil and crime. We stand amazed at the increase of crime todsy and we find most of it being done by the youths of our land. What is. the cause of its alarming spread—we say the cigarette? It gets control of the life the youth kees his self-con-trol. k'ses his interest for the nobles things and drifts into dhan nek of crime. To do away with crime, there must first be done with the cigarette.

The tobacco interests are spending millions .of dollars in advertising their products. They , are using the newspapers and magazines for their deadly course on every hand, and billboards are glaring with the real vrlue of the cigarette. During the war they carried on tHr devifeh propaganda, making the heme folks believe the cigarette was just as essential ?s bread. Todw we are in a measure still reaping the effects of our f "y- When shall we get rid of them? Shall we -wait until our prisms and penitentiaries are full, or shall we figM the cigarette today? On the same ship leaving our ports for foreign shores we are carrying missioneries and cigarettes. both life and death. What can be the result? T fan from the physical side* cf hfe. tfhfe cigarette is a curse.. the c'-dkiren who have not property developed. all because they have been poisoned by the cigarette. Take the smoke of a cigarette and blow it through a handkerchief and it leaves a brown spot> Any one who omstently inhales the fumes through their hmgs. -what do you suppose is tfhie condition of their lungs? Then from spiritual side. The habitual user of cigaretteloses all interest in the best things of life—he has n> use for the cf tirdi and his Creator. He mingles with the rough and criminal element rather thin those seeking spiritual attainments. What greater curate can be thrust among us than the eternal souls of our boys and girte, and we stand idly by.

VOTE OF APPRECIATION BY COMMERCIAL CLUB At a special meeting of the Commercial Club held hrit week the death of Right Rev- John Hazen White, Bubop of the Michigan City diocese of the Episcopalian church, was spoken of and the following note of appreciaticn was voted unanimously. Bisljop White w*s a citizen and resident of Turkey Creek township for many years, during vhirih time he interested himse?f in the seve rJ activities pertaining to the people of Vawter Park.> His valued services, ever at the call of the people, were freely given to the advancement of the material .growth of Lake Wawenjee, as well as to the s rial and religious needs of tirose whom he was -pVased to call his His interest in the* youth of the country was finely exemplified in his ekxpient commencement address to the Syracuse High School Oats of 1909. And again, at the dedication of our public library. When our new; public library was' completed and the library trustees considered what would be a fitting program for the dedicatory exercises, it was decided to ask Bishop White to give tthe address on that important occasion. Those who were present will long remember the fine discourse given by Bishop White and will carry the echoes of the strong elevating thoughts through'their lives. * We recall with deep pleasure has masterful and inspiring address on an Independence Day celebration —held under the auspices of the W. C. T- U. of Syracuse and Turkey Creek township, when the whole country was moved over the dominant question of the day, -which w’as finally settled by the enactment of the 18th Ammendment to the U. S. Constitution. Trie Syracuse Commercial Club, representing Syracuse and Vawter Park land the rest of Turkey Creek township, sincerely mourn the death of our great churchman, our generous aftazen and kindly neighbor.
