HIGH WILL ENTER COUNTY TOURNAMENT Play Their First Basketball Game In Annual Class B Contest On Friday At 4:30 On the Floor of the Y. M. C. A. In Canton—Face Beach City. HOT OLD TIME PROMISED T old Without Varnish By BEN LONG A Fake Newspaper V North Canton High boys' basketball team will play their first game in the annual Class B county tournament at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 20. The tournament will he held at Canton Central Y. M. C. A., starting Friday afternoon at 2:30 and ending Saturday night with the final game at 8:30. North Canton's first opponent will be Beach City and the game will likely be hotly contested. Win Two Games The local high teams enjoyed a successful week-end when they won from Marlboro, Friday night, and Canal Fulton, Saturday night. The North Canton girls experienced little difficulty in defeating the Marlboro lassies in their half of the double bill .Friday night: North Canton led 12 to G at half- time and then continued to widen the margin to finish 25 to 12. This was the last basketball game in which Catharine .Foltz and Fern Heldenbrand, seniors on the North Canton team, will .participate under the high school colors. Catharine has been a main cog in the North Canton olfense for the past three years, playing the forward center position, while Fern has been a very dependable guard for the last two .years. Marlboro Hard Nut The North Canton boys did not find the Marlboro team an easy mark but held but one point advantage at half- time, 5 to 4. The third period continued to be close but the local lads opened up a terrific offense in the final period that swept the visitors off their feet and ended the game 28 to 13. This last spurt gave the spectators a real thrill in basketball offensive. In this last period Nortli Canton scored more points than they did in the first] three together. Defeat (anal Fulton At Canal Fulton on Saturday the North Canton Boys' Reserves did not encounter the tough opposition expected from the Fultonites, but led comfortably throughout, although their lead was cut down just before the end of the first to 8 to 7. The final score of 20 to 13 speaks well for the North Canton lads in the second half, EAR MR. LONG, I have a small newspaper, yellow with age, giving a full account of the death and funeral services of George Washington. It was printed in Ulster, New York, on January 4, 1800, and is called the Gazette. A friend asserts the paper is a "fake," and he says if I think he is wrong, to appeal to you. 1 think the paper is valuable. Answer—Your friend is right, and you arc wrong in thinking the Ulster Gazelle is valuable. Several years ago I exposed that fake sheet in The Sun. Thousands of copies of the Gazette are scattered over the country. The "aged look" is from oil. Unscrupulous f01.me(| printers in the east published the Gazette during the Philadelphia Centennial in 187fi, and peddlers received 25 cents a copy. Copies may be seen in public libraries, but they arc marked "fakes." DR.

LOCKE Widely known Canton lawyer discusses in The Sun today America in George Washington's time and the present, and lie asks: "Have our statesmen kept faith with the people?" OST people are not hard-hearted, they are only inattentive, or confused by various claims, or preoccupied with their own concerns and their own serious troubles. And even in a time like this when so many are in distress for want of opportunity to earn their daily bread, we hardly give our imagination play enough to grasp the seriousness of the time and the meaning of what we so lightly confess is "widespread distress." J t t In such a time we ought lo take the Brotherhood of Man more serious-; ly and give thanks that by some self- denials we can help to lighten some j neighbor's load. Those who have work, or enough to eat and wear, and a shelter for their heads, have special; reason to give thanks and a special obligation to help. Fortunately for, North Canton and the entire district j served by The Sun, there is not much j distress. The few cases reported are; being taken care of by the North Can-i ton Relief association and the American Legion and Legion Auxiliary, t t I ! SPEAKING in a general way, there j is, of course, room and need for our discrimination here. A North Canton clergyman discussed several cases with this writer. Some were pa- ! thetic, some were not.

Mayer, volley ball manager, and Marshall L. Walters, director of phvsical education of the Akron Y. M. C. A. accompanied their "unbeatable team." Akron and Massillon played two games. Akron won both, 15 to 7, both scores. Alliance and North Canton played two games. North Canton won both; scores, 11 to 15, 15 to 7. Editors' Note—This is the first of a series of articles written by John F. Locke, attorney-at-law, of Canton. Other articles from his pen will appear during the year. The Sun has placed no restrictions on Mr. Locke. As is well known, he has contributed to magazines and newspapers of national reputation, and The Sun i.s fortunate in securing his copy. As a free-lance writer, it is understood that Mr. Locke speaks for himself and that his views are strictly his own. SINCE many of our economic ills can be traced to the so-called "foreign entanglements," the 200th anni- j versary of the birth of George Washington brings to mind his advice to : the American people as delivered in ; his farewell address in September of 1794 when this great loader, among other things said: j "The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations, is, in ex- [ lending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political con- { nection as possible." j The key word of this warning is "political"—in other words, trade with foreign nations as much as you desire and have whatever other contacts natural in the course of economic and so-,' j cial relations but avoid connections of politics or government. ! Has America so changed that il would not he wisdom to follow the ■ advice of Washington'.' Let us examine the America of Washington and compare it to the America of today; so as to be able to answer this ques-: tion. I J t t ; H10N these words were uttered by I Washington there wore only thirteen states in the Union. Population was between three and four million. The spirit of nationalism as yet had not become solidified. The people were obsessed by certain jealousies as to state rights, which The Geo. D. Harter Will Resume Business and Thus Aid In Restoring Prosperity If the De- positors Will Promptly Back Their Own Committee. A CLEAN-CUT PROPOSITION Wh games and will have a good start towards next season's varsity. The varsity game at Fulton was as expected, a close one. The Fulton hoys . being- on their home lloor had an advantage which North Canton could not overcome until the last stages of the game. Canal Fulton led 13 to 9 at the end of the first half. North Canton came back in the third period to make the score 12 to 13 but Fulton broke loose with a field goal to again lead by three points. Although tieing the * count several times North Canton^could not gain a lead until the final stanza when with both teams battling furiously, they held a four point lead with three min- , utes ;to go. A little lapse in the defense, however, left Fulton free to score two goals by dribble-in shots. Fans Excited Frantic efforts in the final seconds were of no avail to either team and the end came with the score at 23 all. After the rest the three-minute overtime period began with the crowd extremely noisy, both sides calling for their teams' best efforts. North Canton immediately gained possession of the ball and tried to pass through. After some fine passing and clever pivoting by the boys, [Continued on page six] which we must study to observe.

If the whole world had done as Francis did, Saint Francis and his followers might have : starved. 1 know of few more searching tests of character than this pro- ■ portioning and paying out-of sympathies and means. " I It is a negative mercy if we are spared the helplessness of penury in times of need, if we have anything to give or any power to understand and help. But suppose we fritter away our means or sympathies without discrimination and without careful study of proportionate claims! We might come to be "like Niobe, all tears," or simply by the reckless giving of today cause our names, and the names of those dependent on us, to be written on the list of hopeless mendicants tomorrow. tit ARIGHT summing up of the whole matter, perhaps, is this—that we are to cultivate a spirit of sympathetic brotherhood at every state of our experience, sharing as we have opportunity, with thoughtful study of proportion in our duties and our mercies. Cheer Up, You'll Get To Z In Time "My life is like the alphabet," complained the bored stenographer, "just one letter after another." THANK THE SUN Editors The Sun: I wish to take this opportunity of thanking you for your splendid assistance and co-operation in presenting to the public articles prepared by the United States Commission for the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, and also for the sane original editorials written by members of your stall' on the life and deeds of The Father of His Country.

Editors The Sun: A thousand thanks for the editorials in The Sun on Lincoln and Washington. Too many newspapers "slop over," but not The Sun. More intelligent editorials, such as you write, are needed in these days of sloppy thinking and careless speech. The Sun is in every respect high class. L. T.

Stirred by the whole all'air, Dr. Eddy, at the earnest request of the neutrals in Manchuria, cabled to Geneva, Kngland and America. This aroused considerable resentment in Japanese circles where-it was felt that Dr. Eddy was "taking sides." Dr. Eddy, however, was quick to point out that he bore no ill will toward the Japanese people, but that being "a Christian pacifist who has served notice upon his own government that he will not fight the battles of her militarists, I regard militarism, whether in America or Japan or the world, as a menace." His Campaign In China Dr. Eddy has conducted a vigorous ' campaign among students in China! during the oast five months. In Tientsin more than twelve thousand people attended the mass meetings. In Peiping there was strong opposition, on the part of Communist students; in the Government universities, but the average attendance was around four thousand each day. At one point it was believed that j the prospectus sent for advertising ; TAWM flj AQT7C A T T J7V the Eddy meetings emphasized the re- 1 U II IN vLUDLviJ t\UUh I ligious side too much for local use, but the fear that students would not! turn out was unfounded. For five \ days the attendance grew greater each ,' j day, in spite of the fact that it was !

To these questions there can he but one answer, that there has been a lack of leadership in America—a failure on the part of the leaders to protect the interests of the average citizen— a lack of leadership that is remindful of the warnings of the prophet in Isaiah, "For the leaders of these people cause them to err and they that are led by them are destroyed."

the last two .years.
Marlboro Hard Nut
The North Canton boys did not find
the Marlboro team an easy mark but
held but one point advantage at half-
time, 5 to 4. The third period continued to be close but the local lads
opened up a terrific offense in the final
period that swept the visitors off their
feet and ended the game 28 to 13.
This last spurt gave the spectators a
real thrill in basketball offensive. In
this last period Nortli Canton scored
more points than they did in the first]
three together.
Defeat (anal Fulton
At Canal Fulton on Saturday the
North Canton Boys' Reserves did not
encounter the tough opposition expected from the Fultonites, but led
comfortably throughout, although
their lead was cut down just before
the end of the first to 8 to 7. The
final score of 20 to 13 speaks well for
the North Canton lads in the second
half,
EAR MR. LONG, I have a small
newspaper, yellow with age, giving a full account of the death
and funeral services of George Washington. It was printed in Ulster, New
York, on January 4, 1800, and is called the Gazette. A friend asserts the
paper is a "fake," and he says if I
think he is wrong, to appeal to you.
1 think the paper is valuable.
Answer—Your friend is right, and
you arc wrong in thinking the Ulster
Gazelle is valuable. Several years ago
I exposed that fake sheet in The Sun.
Thousands of copies of the Gazette
are scattered over the country. The
"aged look" is from oil. Unscrupulous f01.me(|
printers in the east published the
Gazette during the Philadelphia Centennial in 187fi, and peddlers received
25 cents a copy. Copies may be seen
in public libraries, but they arc marked "fakes."

.JOHN V. LOCKE
Widely known Canton lawyer discusses in The Sun today America in
George Washington's time and the
present, and lie asks: "Have our
statesmen kept faith with the people?"
OST people are not hard-hearted,
they are only inattentive, or confused by various claims, or preoccupied with their own concerns and
their own serious troubles. And even
in a time like this when so many are
in distress for want of opportunity to
earn their daily bread, we hardly give
our imagination play enough to grasp
the seriousness of the time and the
meaning of what we so lightly confess is "widespread distress."
J t t
In such a time we ought lo take
the Brotherhood of Man more serious-;
ly and give thanks that by some self-
denials we can help to lighten some j
neighbor's load. Those who have
work, or enough to eat and wear, and
a shelter for their heads, have special;
reason to give thanks and a special
obligation to help. Fortunately for,
North Canton and the entire district j
served by The Sun, there is not much j
distress. The few cases reported are;
being taken care of by the North Can-i
ton Relief association and the American Legion and Legion Auxiliary,

SPEAKING in a general way, there j
is, of course, room and need for
our discrimination here. A North

Editors' Note—This is the first of
a series of articles written by John
F. Locke, attorney-at-law, of Canton.
Other articles from his pen will appear during the year. The Sun has
placed no restrictions on Mr. Locke.
As is well known, he has contributed
to magazines and newspapers of national reputation, and The Sun i.s fortunate in securing his copy. As a
free-lance writer, it is understood that
Mr. Locke speaks for himself and
that his views are strictly his own.
SINCE many of our economic ills can
be traced to the so-called "foreign
entanglements," the 200th anni- j
versary of the birth of George Washington brings to mind his advice to :
the American people as delivered in ;
his farewell address in September of
1794 when this great loader, among
other things said: j
"The great rule of conduct for us
in regard to foreign nations, is, in ex- [
lending our commercial relations, to
have with them as little political con- {
nection as possible." j
The key word of this warning is
"political"—in other words, trade with
foreign nations as much as you desire
and have whatever other contacts natural in the course of economic and so-,'
j cial relations but avoid connections of
politics or government. !
Has America so changed that il
would not he wisdom to follow the ■
advice of Washington'.' Let us examine the America of Washington and
compare it to the America of today;
so as to be able to answer this ques-:
tion. I

The varsity game at Fulton was as
expected, a close one. The Fulton hoys
. being- on their home lloor had an advantage which North Canton could
not overcome until the last stages of
the game. Canal Fulton led 13 to 9
at the end of the first half.
North Canton came back in the
third period to make the score 12 to
13 but Fulton broke loose with a field
goal to again lead by three points.
Although tieing the * count several
times North Canton^could not gain a
lead until the final stanza when with
both teams battling furiously, they
held a four point lead with three min-
, utes ;to go.
A little lapse in the defense, however, left Fulton free to score two
goals by dribble-in shots.
Fans Excited
Frantic efforts in the final seconds
were of no avail to either team and
the end came with the score at 23 all.
After the rest the three-minute overtime period began with the crowd extremely noisy, both sides calling for
their teams' best efforts.
North Canton immediately gained
possession of the ball and tried to
pass through. After some fine passing and clever pivoting by the boys,

It is a negative mercy if we are
spared the helplessness of penury in
times of need, if we have anything to
give or any power to understand and

ARIGHT summing up of the whole

amazing story of Japanese militarism
and intrigue in Manchuria.
Stirred by the whole all'air, Dr. Eddy, at the earnest request of the neutrals in Manchuria, cabled to Geneva,
Kngland and America. This aroused
considerable resentment in Japanese
circles where-it was felt that Dr. Eddy
was "taking sides." Dr. Eddy, however, was quick to point out that he
bore no ill will toward the Japanese
people, but that being "a Christian
pacifist who has served notice upon
his own government that he will not
fight the battles of her militarists, I
regard militarism, whether in America or Japan or the world, as a menace."
His Campaign In China
Dr. Eddy has conducted a vigorous '
campaign among students in China!
during the oast five months. In Tientsin more than twelve thousand people attended the mass meetings. In
Peiping there was strong opposition,
on the part of Communist students;
in the Government universities, but
the average attendance was around
four thousand each day.
