THE POLE COUNTY OBSERVER, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1915. DALLAS WINS VICTORY DALLAS HIGH DEFEATS SILVER- TON ON GRIDIRON. Game in Marion County Town Last Saturday Results in Score of Thirty-Four to Fourteen. The Silverton High school football team fell before the fast and snappy onslaught of the Dallas high school boys in the game at Silverton on Sat urday, and went off the field with a score of 34 ito 14 marked up against them. Dallas won the kickoff and within four minutes after the refer ee's whistle started the game, Ray Scott carried the ball over the Sil verton goal line for Dallas' first touchdown. Throughout the first two quarters of the game the Dallas team plainly showed its ability by virtually playing their opponents to a stand still. But after the beginning of the second half the local warriors felt the effects of their fast playing and toned themselves down considerably. The boys do not observe training l ules un less the coaches are at hand, and this fact proved a severe handicap in that it cut their power in half by winding them before the game was done. Balderee kicked a successful goal after the first touchdown was made, leaving a score of 7-0 in Dallas ' favor. Just before the end of the first quarter Eatl Cutler intercepted one of Silverton 's forward passes and made a touchdown. Balderee kicked goal and the quarter ended with the seore 14-0. An intercepted forward pass, with Balderee at the receiving end, was carried 20 yards for another touchdown by the interceplor, who al so successfuly made the goal, and raised the score seven points. Within a few minutes, by a series of long gains through the Silverton line and around end, Ted Berg' made the fourth touchdown, Balderee kicked goal, and the score increased to 28-0. Although the Silverton boys were a fairly good match for the local team as to size, the Dallas boys found it no great task to tear through the opposing line for good gains, and the ends made good get-aways sever al times. The score in the first half represents .fairly the advantage the Dallas team had while it held its wind, but early in the second half the steady work of the silverton team had a telling effect. After the kick- off, received from silverton, the local boys tried twfjee for yardage and fumbled the ball. Silverton recovered .and lost the missle again to Dallas. Silverton intercepted a forward pass the next play and raced over the Dallas goal for the first touchdown. By making the goal Silverton amass ed 7 points on the small end of the score. After a series of fumbles Sil verton lost the ball to Dallas by a fumble on the letter's fifteen yard line and Ray Scott put it on the . scoring side of the goal line. Balder ee made his first unsuccessful try at goal and the score stood at 34-0. Silverton kicked to Dallas in the last of the third quarter and the local team, after failing to make yardage by line bucks, gave the ball to its opponents. It took Silver ton 's left end only a moment to make a touchdown and a well directed boot put the ball over the goal post. With the score standing 34-14 in favor of the visitors both teams played hard, though they were played out, but fail ed to make the play interesting or effective. No score was made in the final period. Most of the play was in the center field during the final quarter, but when the game was call ed Silverton had the ball on Dallas' 20-yard line and was working well toward another touchdown. Earl Cut- ' ler brought Silverton 's end to earth in a tackle that saved the Dallas boys having another score against them. With a great deal more attention to detail and a little more diligent practice the Dallas team should build itself into even a better group of next Saturday on the home ground will probably be arranged with the Mute school team. Prof. W. I. Ford and Coaches French and Rudder ac companied the team to Silverton. Rud der acted as umpire in the game, the lineup was: McCann, R. E.; Brock, R. T.; Martin, R. G.; Captain Dennis, center; R. Wilson, L. G.j A. Wilson, L. T.; Beebe, L. E.; Earl Cutler, Q.; Ted Berg, L. H. ; Irving Balderee, F.; Ray Scott, R. H. Other players who made the trip to Silverton were Er. Cutler, Elmo Bennett and Clifford Helgerson. EDISON TO HAVE SPECIAL DAY. Great Inventor Will Hear Self Prais ed at San Francisco. Thomas A. Edison, the inventative genius, will be in San Francisco on Thursday of this week to hear his name and his fame eulogized and to receive a medal of horioi' because of his many accomplishments. The par ticular event to draw Mr. Edison to the const, in spite of his natural predjudice to such affairs, will be the celebration of Edison day at the ran-ama-l'acific exposition. Until Mr. Ed ison was actually enroute to the fair his associates could not be sure that he would be on hand for the ceremo nies in his honor. Prominent men will lecture on Mr. Edison's inven tions on that day and in recognition of his favorite invention, the Diamond Disc, his new instrument for the re creation of sound, particular promi nence will be given that instrument. Miss Christine Miller, the celebrat ed contralto and a great admirer of Mr. Edison, will journey to San Francisco in order that her own voice may be heard in comparison with Edison's laboratory re-creation of it, so that scientists and musicians may judge whether or not Mr. Edison has in fact realized his ambition to re create music so perfectly that it can not be distinguished from the origi nal. Mr, J. C. Uglow is arranging to give several demonstrations of this new Edison invention in Dallas dur ing Edison week. CHRIS. RISSER LAID AT REST.

The services at the church were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Erskine, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Gates. Mr. Risser spent many of the most fruitful years of his life in this community- and his friends are numbered by the hundreds in all parts of the county.

"Never Mind the Rain, Son' The germ-proof, dust-proof, moisture-proof wax sealed wrapping keeps the The germ-proof, dust-proof, moisture-proof was-sealed wrapping keeps the New Post Toasties in perfect condition. But more importanfc-these flakes are made by a new process that gives them a new form and a distinctive flavour, entirely different from other corn flakes. In this new process, intense heat expands the interior moisture, producing little pearl-like puffs," a distinguishing characteristic of the NEW POST TOASTIES. These flakes have a body and firmness that don't mush down, even when cream or milk is added. Toasties come factory-fresh, as crisp and delicious as when they leave the big ovens. Try Them and Note the New Flavour Your grocer has them now. WHAT'S DOING IT? Strange, isn't it? But it is true, isn't it? The way some of your old friends and customers send their money to folks they do not know and for goods they have never seen. Yon would naturally incline to the belief that people would prefer to buy goods after having had an opportunity to inspect them, and to make the purchase from people whom they know. There was a time when shopping was largely a matter of personal contact. Today the distant store and the mail order house get into close touch with thousands, who are made acquainted with their goods and their methods of doing business. How is this done? Advertising con stant and effective advertising. Many arguments are used to make customers out of the readers of advertising. These advertisements draw business from yon and the other local dealers. Consider the results obtained by the national magazine advertisers, and yon will cease to wonder what is the magnet that draws to the city department store and the catalogue house, hundreds of miles away, the trade that yon should enjoy. It is surprising that they do not take more dollars ont of this community than they do. Now mind yon, The Observer is not talking just for its business but for yours as well, and for your neighbor's. For if yon do not thrive, The Observer will not. Naturally, and somewhat selfishly, The Observer is in terested in this community.
