The Boys' Band is progressing rap- idly. There are about thirty boys who have taken up band work and are giv- ing much time to it. All boys have instruments and are being given les- sons by an instructor, from Peoria, who comes to Toulon every Friday and stays over Saturday, giving be- sides lessons a free band rehearsal every Friday night. . The opening of hard road Route 30 was an affair looked forward to-by all students of the High school. Many are the trips that will be taken to Kewanee, Galva and Wyoming that hitherto could not be made because of road conditions. --HalloWe'en passed quietly in our little town, except that the antics of a- few boys who naturally are in the habit of celebrating the event. Most of the boys, however, were out of town, arriving home too late to cause much excitement. A new pipe organ has been install- ed in the Toulon Baptist church. This organ was given to the church by Mrs. Ezra Packer and William E. Cardiff, in memory of their daughter and wife, Mrs. Hazel Packer Cardiff. Pro- -fessor J. Mac P. Wedell, professor of music in Knox College, was or- ganist on Sunday, November 1, and Monday, November 2, giving a reci- tal on Monday night. The dedication services were carried through Tues- day and Wednesday. The organ is a beautiful piece of work, having a set of chimes which give a most pleasing effect. It was installed by a Pekin company, the same company which has installed organs for a great num- ber of our churches in this part of the country. P Armistice Day was observed by a parade at 1.30 followed by a speech and a football game. The feature of the parade was the clown band that furnished noise for the rest of the afternoon. At 2.30 was the football game, and Bradford defeated Toulon by a score of 20 to 0. Bradford seem- ed to get nearly all the breaks of the afternoon. The day ended with a a dance in Lloy'd's Hall, which was well attended. The three churches combined with the High school and gave a social Fri-- day, November 13, at the Baptist church. The social was in the form of a football party and was enjoyed by all present. JOKES.

A Punting Game. Kewanee came to Toulon and fought a hard game but were over- come by the Toulon gridders who un- doubtedly remembered the 14-12 vic- tory for Kewanee last year. There were no scores until the sec- ond quarter when Montgomery at- tempted to drop-kick a field goal, which was blocked, and the ball was recovered by C. Whittaker who car- ried it 20 yards for a touchdown. The attempt for goal failed. In the third quarter C. Whittaker made a 25 yard drop kick. In the fourth quarter Kewanee tried to play a passing game, but only once were they successful in completing a pass. During one of their attempts, Foglesong intercepted a pass and ran 32 yards for a touchdown. C. Whit- taker kicked goal. Soon after this Fell intercepted another pass on Ke- wanee's 38 yard line and carried it within one yard of the line, which he then took over on an off tackle drive. Whittaker again kicked goal. During this game it seemed to be a regular punting duel, between Fogle- song and Yanuskus, in which Fogle- song got the better of the contest. V C. Whittaker. GENESEO AT GENESEO. ' 12-2. ' Toulon Wins Muddy Victory Over Geneseo. The ball was played in Geneseo's territory a greater portion of the game, with the exception of the first quarter when they held Fluie for a safety in an attempt to punt. In the second quarter, Toulon, af- ter blocking two of Geneseo's punts, recovered the ball and carried it for a touchdown. The attempt for goal was blocked. In the third quarter Fell made a 15 yard run off tackle which brought another score. In the fourth quarter many subs were put in the game and again the ball was carried within one foot of the line when the whistle blew. LeRoy Whittaker. CAMBRIDGE AT CAMBRIDGE. 0-0. Toulon went to Cambridge expect- ing to overwhelm their opponents. Cambridge had a light, fast team, but they held remarkably well. It dis- heartened the team a little to lose C. Whittaker and C. Smith for this game, owing to ineligibility. In the first quarter Toulon kicked off to Cambridge, who after being held for downs, punted. Later Toulon was also forced to do the same. Tou- lon received a 5 yard penalty for off side. During the second quarter Cam- bridge was successful with an 11 yard pass and a 13 yard run. In the third quarter Cambridge tried a 30 yard drop-kick, but it was blocked. Heaton starred in the fourth quar- ter by making two end runs for first downs, one being a 12 yard, and the other a 21 yard run. Cole also re- ceived a 15 yard pass from Foglesong. Foglesong also attempted a place kick which fell short. The game end- ed with the score O-0. C. Whittaker.
