M.ANSFlELD   GUARDS
After Years of Waiting Wo Tinve As-
surance We WHl  (Jet  the
Armory  "If"—
Ap mnny of or." citizens know a movement has been on foot fov years to have the state buiUl an armory in Mansfield for the local members of the National Guanl. Evevv lime the question has come up wo have looked forward hopefully and si'nt in peti¬ tions only to be disappointed aRain. Several times the State Legislaturo has failed to appropriate the monoy for the Armories, although they have twice voted in favor of a bond issue of five millions with which to build them. It was only the last session of the lepislature that has appropriated any money for the National Guard, and here again Mansfield's hope went glimmering, because there were other towns nearer Harrisburg and Phila¬ delphia that wanted armories, too.
Only last week. Major Doane and Captains Palmer and Brazda received a letter from Bripr. Geen. Albert J. IjOgan, Treasurer of the State Ar¬ mory Board, in which he said that he was quite in accord with the fact that our local unit of the National Guard. Ambulance Co. No. 108 of the 103d Medical ReRiment, should have an armory, but he reirreted that there were no funds available. He called their attention to the five million dol¬ lar bond issue to be voted on in the coming election and said that if this amendment is approved there is little doubt but that we would be able to get an Armory. This is the first encour¬ agement the local guardsmen have had and naturally they are taking an in¬ terest in seeing that the amendment is approved.
The local post of the American Le¬ gion, realizing perhaps more than our other citizens, the need of the Guards¬ men, are also getting behind this amendment to urge our people to vote for it.
The Legion is actuated not only by their interest in the National Guard and their knowledge of its needs, but also by that same public-spiritedness that is part of their creed. They can see what an armory will mean to Mansfield, and they want Mansfield to have one
When one considers the difficulties under which the Lacel G^ard have operated since their organization, one wonders why we have any Guard left in Mansfield at all. In the beginning they drilled in the Normal Gymnasium and had a comer of the Y Hut as an auxiliary headquarters. Then they moved into the Grange Hall and had the cloakroom for their office and headquarters, except on t;iG nights ¦when there was something doing there and the people needed the room to hang their wraps. Their equipment was stored in barns or wherever they could find a place for it, and only re¬ cently has a place been made in the basement of Grange Hall for the am¬ bulances. As we looli back on it dur¬ ing the past eight years, it looks as though our Guard unit has been treat¬ ed more like a yellow dog, nobody pays any attention to them, and no¬ body seems to care, but when they are needed they will want them.
A great deal of credit should be given to the officers. Major Doane, Captain Palmer, and their assistants, who have kept up the interest in the Guard, and who have also made a unit that has won distinction in the state. The inspectors that have been here have been gladly surprised at the efficiency our local boys have shown, and have commended them highly. The record of our local com¬ pany is one of the reasons why Gen. Logan states that he is in favor of their having an armory.
Just as a reminder we wish you would read the poem on the first page, entitled "The National Guard," as it seems to state some pertinent truths about the Guardsmen. This was writ¬ ten back in 1918, when everybody was willing to do all they could for the soldier.

The initiation ceremonies were the first thing on the program, which were carried out with neatness and dis¬ patch by the regular degree team. This team has got everything down pat, and when they got through with these five young men, they knew they had been on a journey.

FORMER MANSFIELD LADY IN MIDST OF FLORIDA STORM
Mrs. A. R. Docker received a letter a few days ago from her niece, Mrs. Lina Decker Gruver, of West Palm Beach, Florida, in which Mrs. Gruver says the Gruver's were badly hit by the storm which devastated that state a short time ago. Mrs. Gruver states that the worst will never be known here, or read in the papers. Her son, Charles, and son were in the Caro- linas when the .storm took place, leav¬ ing for Florida on Monday morn¬ ing after getting a radio message Sunday. They were held up twenty- three hours in Savannah, and had much difficulty getting through as the guards were not letting people pass into Florida. Her son-in-law brought in bodies by the truck load. Mrs. Gruver is a daughter of the late L. R. Decker, of Mansfield. Her letter reads, in part:
"None of my dear ones are in im¬ mediate need, although we have all been hard hit in many ways.
We have a wonderful summer homo here, which we shall lose now. Neva, her husband and two boys; Chprles and his oldest boy have been with us (at Flat Rock, N. C.) Neva's hus¬ band had gone home to attend to some business, when news of the storm came to us over the radio Sunday night.
Monday afternoon Neva left her boys with us and went by train, de¬ layed 23 hours in Savannah, and has been through experiences more hor¬ rible than you could imagine."
"She did wonderful relief work at the time of the Miami storm, so noth¬ ing would keep her from going into it now—but this was much worse; you haven't heard the worst.
"Tuesday Charles and his son left in their auto and managed to get thru, though delayed by fallen trees and stopped by guards who were al¬ lowing very few people to go thru."
"Now the National Red Cross has charge. She and her husband were staying with friends while l)oth were on the most nerve-racking relief work, he bringing in the dend by the truck load, she working night as well as day a part of the time.
"We were all badly involved in th? real estate slump; then lost in two bank failures, so felt that we hnd about reached the depths; hut this stoi-m makes financial losses look small in comparison with tho loss of life." Mrs. Gruver also says they have had awfully cold weather there."
The people of Mansfeld sent S12fi.lG to the Mississippi Flood Relief fund. Fifty-three peopl;- in Mansfield have contributed $90.50 to the Hurrican relief fund.
If the rest of our good people will do their share then we will have our quota which is about three hundred dollars. Contri¬ butions are being received at the First National Bank, P. A. Coles Pharmacy and the Post- office.

Virginia Crossley Hit By Auto
While on her way from school this afternoon Virginia, the six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Crossley, was struck by a car while crossing the street in front of Mc¬ Dowell's coal office. The car was driven by James Brown, of Arnot, who had been parked in front of the Mc¬ Dowell office. Mr. Brown was turn¬ ing toward Main street, and just as he swung around, the little girl dash¬ ed in front of the car, the wheels pass¬ ing over her. He immediately stopped the car and she was taken to Meak- ers hospital. Her only injuries were bruises about the face and legs.

The Parent-Teachers Association held its first meeting of the year on Tuesday evening, October 2, in the auditorium of the Senior High School. An unusually large number attended. The meeting was opened by the pres¬ ident, Mrs. Percy Coles, who greeted the new teachers and new members of the organization, and made a strong plea for co-operation in all the projects of the organization, the first being the better understanding of the child and the working together of teacher and parents. The big mate¬ rial undertaking of the organization is jointly with the High School Alum¬ ni association to finish paying for the six hundred chairs ordered for the auditorium. The treasurer reported five hundred dollars paid on that bill, leaving a balance of about .?1,300.00. This amount is due on November 1. This report speaks for itself. Mrs. Straughn spoke for the ways and means committee, who are trying to sel the chairs and otherwise raise money. Benefits are difficult since the High School is conducting a lee-, tuer course which needs the support of the public, and which the public will greatly enjoy. The name plates were on the chairs already sold and made a fine appearance. Let us see one on every chair, showing it has been bought by a friend of the school. Mrs. Belknap reported for the at¬ tendance committee that two prizes were offered to the schools who had the largest attendance of parents at the meetings. A banner for the Senior and Junior High Schools, and a piece of pottery for the Training School rooms. The meeting was then turned over to the program committee, Miss Paluso and Mr. Ackley. Under the direction of Miss Paluso the dramatic club presented two short plays—a serious play of the time of the French Revo¬ lution and a comedy of today. Both were exceptionally well presented and showed what good work is being done in these clubs, which are a part of the extra suricular activities of the school.
Following this a social hour was en¬ joyed and light refreshments were served. We have every resson to be proud of our high school; let us boost for it.

Took no degrees up at Plattsburg, Needed too soon for the game; Ready at hand to be a.sked for, Orders said "Come"—and they came.
Didn't get mark on their shoulders. Or three months to see if they could; Didn't get classed with the "Re^'Iars," Or told they were specially good.
Just got a job and got busy. Awkward they were, but intent. They filed no claims of exemption. Orders  said "Go"—and they went.
Didn't  get .farewell  procession. Didn't get newspaper praise; But didn't escape  the  injunction To watch out and mend their ways.
Work bench and counttTr and roll-top Dug in and minded their chance; Orders  said,  "First-line  trenches"— They're holding them "Somewhere in France."

As was uttered, Mansfield's tactic;- for yardage gain were confned to line plunging, with passes and ond runs.
Mansfield's iron wall did all in its power. The iron wall, which consist¬ ed of coal diggers, and slingers, did its best.
On the offense the Ironers opened up hole after hole in the Yellow and Black line for many downs.
On the defense, the Horsemen plow¬ ed through the visiting aggregation, messing up the plays, blocking and intercepting passes.
Only two first downs were gar¬ nered by the Clarionites, these result¬ ing from passes.
Mansfield scored in two periods, two in the second, and one in the fourth.
"Chuck" Hartman, the galloping hu¬ man, recovered a fumble and provid¬ ed one of the thrills of the tilt, mak¬ ing an end run for 30 yards to a touchdown. "Tom" Lloyd was the sport that set

WELLSBORO WILL HAVE CLINIC FOR    CRIPPLE!)  CHILDREN
Letter has been received by J. H. Williams, president of the Crippled Children's League of Tioga County, telling of the approval ly the board of orthopedis surgeons of the state of Pennsylvania of the ap]iointment of Dr. Tom Outland, who will be ortho¬ pedist of this unit of the department of welfare.

Orthopedic clinics will be held at state intervals in Tioga coun¬ ty and it is hoped that all crppled children in the county will be brought to the clinic for examination. Early diagnosis and treatment are the im¬ portant factors in the cire of crip¬ pled children.

respected citizens, died at his home on Normal Avenue, Monday morning at the age of 81 years. The funeral i.s being held at 2 p. m., this Wednes¬ day at the late home. Reverend John H. Stanton officiating. The interment will be in Prospect Cemetery.
Mr. Wood was born in Sylvania May 26, 1847, where he spent his ear¬ ly boyhood. At the age of sixteen years he enlisted in Company C, Sev¬ enth Pennsylvania Volunteers, Caval¬ ry, to fight for the preset^ation of the Union. Mr. Wood rode a horse in that celebrated "Sherman's March to the Sea," of which we read in history. He received his honorable discharge in August, 1865, but did not get home for some months afterwards, being detained from one cause to another until cold weather.
On October 10, 1866, he married Miss Helen Davis, a Mansfleld girl of charming personality. To this union were born four children:- Dr. F. G. Wood, who was a popular physician of Mansfield for a number of years, until his death in 1917; George Wiley Wood, who died at an early age; Clara May, who man-ied Prof. S. S. Leonard, who in 1890 was a teacher in the Mansfield Business College, now residing in Elmira; (Mrs. Leonard died some years ago); Mrs. Nannie Wood McClure, mother of our towns¬ man, George McClure, manager of the McClure Motor Company. Mrs. Mc¬ Clure's husband died several years ago.
George Nelson Wood was one of the most upright men we ever met. Being of a free-hearted and optimistic nature, he always held absolute con¬ fidence in his fellowmen in all deal¬ ings, and ever nourished the hope that all his business records might, when finished, bear the stamp of in¬ tegrity and real manliness, instead of the transparent seal of ill-gained success. Truly, Mr. Wood seems to have lived up to these higher hopes, for where he has been known the long¬ est, his name is above reproach. A legacy which mere money, no matter how much, cannot touch.
NEIL PATERSON CONCERT CO.
The Neil Paterson Scotch Concert Co. is all "Pure Scotch"—and there are f our members in the organization. The program is different from any¬ thing that has ever been presented here before. There are ninety minutes of music, Scottish Folk Dances and side splitting fun.
Neil Paterson leads this talented group of entertainers. He is assisted by Helen Cuthbert Place, Scottish so¬ prano; Gladys G. Graham, Scottish dancer :.nd winner of many prizes in competition; and Doris F. Kimball, ac¬ companist.
Neil writes songs and puts them over, plays tunes you know on the bagpipes, tells the humorous side of tho instrument and also the serious side, plays by way of contrast the softest music on the latest instrument —a common or "garden" saw, dances the fling and throws his natural thrift overboard when handing out laughs.
This company will appear at the Teachers College October 29, in the college gymnasium.

whelming victory. Lloyd is a "frosh," but he made things burn Saturday. Webster and Allis Plunges Count With Webster's and Allis' savage plunges at the line, these darts gave Mansfleld a great culmination of yardage. Allis and Webster tore through holes like bullets, and con¬ tinued to speed on when they hit the secondary. It was in one of these plunges that Allis took the oval over the line.
Harkness, Gilvary, Hrycenko and Burr did fine end work; messing and crushing the <i.":ir little Yellow wand Blacks. Gilvary, on rushing a forward pass, blocked the ,pass, knocking the ball into the air, catching it and chalking up a touchdown. This unique catch brought hundreds of spectators on their feet during the spectacular feat.
Through the liveliness of their char¬ acteristics, to much cannot be said of former Captain Mudge, Captain Obelkevitch, Allis, School and Simms; their courage, zest and vigor paved the way for Mansfield's initial vic¬ tory.
Hill and Pish, two big 'ground lain- ers for Mansfleld, to their ill fo t-ne, were injured shortly after the stnt of the game. The flashy backs .^u!'- fered severe muscle bruises on their legs.

WELFARE A   SOCIATION
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY
The Mansfield Welfare Association is no longer an experiment,    it    has fulfilled   a   yoar  of  service,   and   ac¬ cording  to  the   reports  presented   at its first annual meeting Tuesday eve¬ ning, October.Oth, has entirely justi- iied its existence.   Full reports of of¬ ficers    will appear in a  later  issue. New  officers were elected    and    six new   directoi's.    Dr.  Straughn   spoke briefly on the good that had been ac¬ complished, saying the public needed only to have heard the reports of com¬ mittees  to  become convinced  of the need  and  accniplishment of the  or- ^ranization.    Cojnmittees have worked ' (in the basis of assistance, rather than charity, unless you consider charity in its greater meaning of Love for your fellow mon.    Dr. Straughn then asked , the privilege of introducing Dr. Klon- ! ower. Director of the Teacher Bureau of the Department of Education, who I spoke briefly on the far-reaching re¬ sults    of what sometimes seems only j small   assistance offcrv.'J, illustrating by a true sco'v of a small rascal once ' saved from t!ie ref.ivm  nchool  by    a I group    of teachers i : a public school ^ and having become :; h  ppy man and a ' useful citizen.    Miss Lownsbery's I'e- I port of v); its to   our   two    children's homes was equally appealing, and in itself gives  the organization inspira¬ tion to continue and grow. Mrs. Trella Wilson reported for the State Clinics for Crippled Children, one being held in Wellsboro several times a year.  The organization can help in this work by giving information   to    parents    who have children needing such care.    The clinics are not alone    for    those who need   free   treatment,   but    are   con¬ ducted as a matter    of    convenience, bringing a capable orthopedist wth- in reaching  distance  of    those    who need    such    a   specialist.     F'ollowing the    reports    Mr. Ackley    sang two songs and Mr. Baldwin gave two vio¬ lin numbers.    Thesee gentlemen   are great favorites in Mansfield and their music is specially appreciated.     They were both accompanied by their wives. It is regrctable that the meeting was not  larger as  the reports were alive with human interest and it is an or¬ ganization    of which any town  may well be proud.
