Frld'ay night, when it defeated Clinton
by a score of 23-11. The team has
been drilling hard on team work and
although there is still much tr> ba
perfecteid in that line,, we used it. to
.advantage. OUmton's fioo'r is considerably .larger than ours and so we had
to work harder than ever. We ore
being instructed at present on the use
of the pivot.   It was used in ou,r game.
! All members of the first team played
the whole game. One of the peoplp
on the. side-lines kept yelling, "Put
more English on. the ball." (English
is the twist of the ball when a forward is shooting for the basket) The

EDMUND W. GENSIiBY, Treas.
For several years Mr. Houser had
divided his time between Saline .and
HlUman, where he had a 360-a<Xr&
farm- on which he pastured and kept
moire or less stock.
Edward Aaron Hauser was a lifelong resident of Valine, having been
bom here on Octobeir .22,, 1857,' the son
cjf Christopher and Mary Ann Hauser,
pioneer residents of the village.
Our sublet commenced his early
business life as a clerk in the grocery
of B?rt Jones. Later he served at the
store of W. H. Davenport in a similar
position for a time, airte.r which he
and his brothen-inrlaw,, Fred Henne,
opened a grocery. Later Mr. Plauser
styii to his partner and took a hand
in the livery bui'iness. For forty years
he had ba^n -a suceessfiul stack buyer,
,pnrt of that time being associated
with Nathan Bordine and William
Derendinger.. He had also dealt
largely in. wool, being for a long time
associated with C. R. Parsons, and
the.ir'-handlings have heen very large.
In 1902 Mr. Hauser founded the Sa-
lin-^ Telephone Exchange, which h*is
srown u-'til it compl#ely covers the
tprritwy cintigluous to Saline, and
givrs enxT-li-yment to nearly a dozen
persons.        x

Lead to Disaster.

IS PREDICTION FOR U. S.
Paved Plelds Urged for Heavier Commercial Planes';   Concrete Run
ways Used in Europe.
The tragedy hidden behind the
many. "business" marriages of the
rich is dramatically depicted in "The
Tender Hour/' the George Fitzma-ur-
ice piTifluction which .comes as the
•feature aitiraietion at the Liberty theatre Saturday and Sunday.
That the situation as it is shown in
the plfit of the picture is a real one is
proven by at least half a dozen sueh
mar.riage& which have ended disastrously and with much sensational
publicity in the past year.
Particularly does this apply to the
marriages of American girls to European titles, ft is this particular
phase of "bargain marriage" on which
the story of "The Tenid'er Hrtur" is
based. In the picture; an American
financier who" regards his daughter
merelv as a possession to be sold to
the highest -bidder forces her into
marriage with an expatriated nobleman in" order to further business interests. •
Billy Dove and Ben Lyon, play featured Voles in the picture,,--with Alec
B: Francis, Montagu Love and others
in prominent parts. The picture is
based on an original screen story by
Carfey Wilson, and was produced, by
John McCormick, general, manager of
West Coast production for First National.   ' VJ
More than 1,000 .airports, and intermediate field's will dot the United
States from-coast to caosb and from
Canada to the/Gulf of Mexico by the
end of 1927, according to the Aeronautics Branch of the Department of
Commerce.
A survey just completed by the Air
Information Division shows "865 permanent, fields now in use, with 187
.cities definitely considering the establishment of municipal airports. Of
■present fields, 207 are municipally
owned Chambers of Commerce, business iciubs and other ctvic*organizar
tlons are - co-operating in the effort
to build up a complete airway and*
airport system,, it is stated.
Many authorities are .-urging permanent construction for airport buildings and especially for'fields and runways. Planes for projected passenger
lines., carrying as many, as thirty passengers, -audi as the Ford line between
Chicago and Los .Angeles, an(d seven
or eight ton frieght planes will rer
quire rigid landing, surfaces. Turf
and .cinders, it is 'claimed, will not
stand the wear.
Captain Donald E. Keyhoe, flying
aide to Colonel Lindbergh on his tour
of 75 citleyrecomraends _ runways of
conierete 100' feet wide, and Commander Richard E.*Byrd, U. S. N.
suggests that entire fields be of concrete,-particularly-since this permits
landing and "taking-off" regardless of
weather -conldltions.
European fields are leading in the
use of concrete, runways of this material being reported in Service at the
Croydon .Airdrome in -England and
at all ports at Desslau, Germany and
Tempeihof, near Berlin.
