MINISTER'S COLUMN Before recording the outcome of

the hall game between the Eries and the Iroquois Indians in 1656, played where the city of Buffalo now stands, I shall in considera-tion of the reader and those who love Indian lore give a brief des-cription of how the Indian game of ball was played. Later I shall describe Fort Island in the Cop-lay Swamp, the place to which cur story is leading.

The Indian's game of ball was their cne great sport, It was play-ed by all tribes. To the red sav-age the game was an attractive and popular as our American £ame of baseball is today. A large level tract of land free of growth cf any kind was the most desir-able. Five, ten to one hundred, or more athletes could play on each side. Two goal posts were ar-ranged opposite each other, fifty, one hundred to four hundred yards apart, distance contingent on the number to play the game. The bats used were much similar to the tennis racket, only smaller and with a. longer handle. The ball was made of hair and covered with deer skin. The object of the game was to keep the ball in the air, not touching with hands, and to bat it under the goal rail of the opposing team, i t must have been very thrilling to witness two hun-dred athletic Indians, arranged systematically, intermining, led and

criss-crossed, spread out over a great f ield, foe and f r iend, f r i end and foe. One team in ten t on d r i -v ing the ba l l across the f ie ld, nor th , whi le an equal ski l led team determined to stop the f l y i n g ba l l and send i t back over the players' h e a d to a southern d i rec t ion where team mates are posted to bat i t under the goal. Imagine, now, the t h r i l l when two opposing teams, one hundred each, of sav-age men, keen and f ierce w i t h every w i ld ins t inc t of the ch i ld of the forest. Consider, too, the fact tha t the opposing tr ibes f r o m which these athlet ic, super-men have been chosen are b i t te r ene-mies. Remember, my wh i te reader, t ha t for three years the Eries have chaf fed to defeat the i r foe, and for three years the I r iquois have been humi l ia ted by challenge and taunts of the i r haughty r ivals. Now the fa te fu l day is at nand. Prices were brought fo rward by the chief of the Iroquois, o rna -ments, moccasins, roibes, they were deposited i n a designated spot and were matched art icle by art ic le by the Er ie chief. These prizes to be the trophies car r ied o f f by the v ic -tors. I leave i t to the reader to conjecture the tenseness, the th r i l l , the wi ld fierceness of the contest now to be entered into. The players are assembled, every m a n to his place, the signal given, the game i s on. The bal l shoots l i ke a rocket f r om the force of a war -

New the signal was given to cease playing i,s in evidence. The day is dene and t h e game is ended. The Iroquois are victors, an over-whelming victory for their team.. The- Eric- chief now speaks.

GUILD NOTICE The Ladies Guild meet next

Wednesday, August 2'lst, noon and afternoon, at the home of Mrs.

The Ladies, in place of having the real thing and wearing them-selves to a frazzle baking cakes and' doing the hundred other o d d things that go with such affairs, will this month have an imaginary ice cream social. In our opinion thi s will be more profitable from a financial standpoint than some of the others, that is, if you consider all donated cakes and labor worth anything. Men—buy your tickets to an imaginary ice cream social. They will be on sale soon.

THIS PAPEK Will have a new department be-

ginning the first week in Septem-ber. A questions and answers page. You ask the questions—.Rev. Hulme will answer them. Send questions, preferably of a religious nature, to Rev. Hulme or the Editor, Box 191, R. 3. Kent.

AND The Men's class Sunday decided

to donate two hundred subscrip-tions to this paper. Horray—Now with a hundred news items a week 'from the Ladies' class and 500 more subscriptions we ought to get along fine—more next week about this.

Junior church is functioning at Stow Community church. All small children are most welcome and will be well taken care of during church services.

INDIANS Rev. Hulme is an authori ty on

Indians. Did ycu read his article last week It is the first of a series of four. I t represents some original work and tells us some things tha t have never t e e n pub-lished before. Indian lore is one of our minister 's hobbies. Read the minister 's column.

MUSICAL Last Sunday's musical was a

success. However with the twenty-live or six musicians who took par t we should have had a larger crowd. Mr. Kurinsky deserves much credit for the way his pupils performed and also because of the fact tha t he himself was working under a strain. He has just re-cently lost his fa ther and it is dif-

ficult for one under those circum-stances to put his whole heart into such a work.

Our next musical will be held the second Sunday evening in Sep-tember. and will be equal in qual-ity and interest to past perform-ances.

NOTICE—Everybody please pam-per your flowers and vegetables till August 28th, then bring them to the Flower Show at the High school auditorium. Mary Olson, general chairman.

THIEVES T'he Minister told us last Sun-

day tha t there is a thief who steals our boys and girls away from church and sometimes Sun-day school. This thief is INDIF-FiRiBNCE,

or, "I don't care," or, "I want my dinner," cr, "a fishing trip," cr, "an auto ride,"

This does not include a lot of roads like River road, which are not listed in the Stow directory.

Salt Lake City, U tah Aug. 8, 1935

Dear Mr. Stockman: I will give you a b r W resume of

cur expedition to date which you »nay be able to untangle and a r -range into a column.

We have had a very delightful t r ip so fa r as everything west of Indianapolis has been over roads new to us and there have been plenty of interesting sights all along the way. We stopped a while in Springfield, Illinois, saw Atiraham Lincoln's old home there which he occupied f rom 1844-611. Crossed the Mississippi river at Hannibal, Mo., observed soon a f -ter tha t the fa rm crops in Missouri

looked very poor, due we were told to a late wet spring followed by unusually dry weather. Saw & marker on a street in Hannibal identifying the spot where the house stood tha t was tbe home of Hack F inn , in Mark Twain's books. Cros ed the Missouri river at St. Joseph. Things look bad for the fa rmers i s Kansas also, as it has been very dry there. The western par t of Kansas was very dusty, so dusty in fact tha t the sun was ob-scured for about three hours. It was very disagreeable d r i v i n g through here and was as near to a dust storm as I would care to see. We reached Colorado Springs about noon Monday. This place is one of the greatest tourist centers in the U. S. About 90 miles from Colo-rado Springs, we got our first glimpse of Pike's Peak. Stopped at Ripley's scenic tower f rom which 6 states oan be seen. We drove u p Pike's Peak Monday afternoon, took about 3 hours to reach the top, stopped several times for water and to let the engine cool down. The elevation at the bot-tom is about 6500 feet and 14,109 at the top. T'he road is 18 miles long f rom the entrance to the top. Tha t was the toughest 36 miles I

ever drove, but it was certainly worth it. The motor loses its e f -ficiency at the higher altitudes which makes the going all the harder. The passengers do too for that matter, we were ra ther dizzy when we got out of the car at the top. One woman we saw passed cut, she revived later on however.

It was very cool at the top, we had to put our coats on. Several tmall lakes could be seen f rom the peak, lying at about 9,000 or 10,000 leet elevation, fed largely by mel t -ing snow and ice. The t imber line reaches about 12,000 feet Crass, weeds, flowers, etc. to about 13,000 feet and the balance loose reek of all sizes and shapes.

I used ten gallon of gasoline making the 36 mile trip up Pike's leak, we visited the Garden of the Gods and the cliff Dwellings, Tuesday, then headed n o r t h through Denver, Este s Park and Rocky Mt. National Park. Drove the sky Ride road through Rocky

Mt. Park. This highway runs a t the highest elevation of any in the world, for several miles the elevation is around 12,000 feet .

There was considerable snow ly-< ing in the gulleys and sheltered

places near the top of the peaks. The highway leads up a t a n easy grade, which can practically all 'be made in high gear. One could spend a long time in this pa r t of Colorado, always f inding some-thing of interest . I make no apol-ogy for th i s description, as no wri-ter, regardless of his ability could properly describe these marvels of nature . This is Friday morning I am finishing this document, we are going out on the Great Sal t Desert, presently and look around a lit t le and then head for Yellowstone Park. We have taken some very fine pictures which I hope tu rn out O. K. Hope all the folks back home feel as well as we do.

Yours truly, L. G. PiHELIPS
