doesn't crush or grind it), and the little
oil cells remain unbroken. The. oil
known as Caffeone cannot evaporate
and is preserved indefinitely This is
one reason why pound Of coffee cut in
this mill will make from ten to twelve
cups more of full strength coffee than
will the same coffee ground in the oil

is that you can have your coffee cut as
fin" as the finest sand. aud IL will still be
free from tho iine dust Ihai is produced

BALL GAME.

Last Saturday the first and sec
ond ball teams, of the C.. V. H
S., together with a large Grove
of rooters, went to Campbells
vile to cross bats with the com
bined ball teams of the Russell
Creek Academy and the S. w
Buchanan Institute.
The second teams played a yer.
interesting game in the morning
which resulted in a victory fol
the C. v. H. S. boys by the scor'
of % to 81.
Considering the fact that Thu
was the boys first game away
from home, they played splendie
ball. Mont Page pitched an ex
cellent game for the C. V. H. S
The playing of Russell Beard
Dempsey Beard and Arthur
Hopewell was fine. The boys
were much elated over their vic.
tory.
In the afternoon the first teams
lined up against each other and
a most exciting and hard fought
game was played. The c. V. H.
S. was finally defeated by the
score of IA 9. Our boys had a
comfortable lead up until the 9th
inning, when a couple Of errors,
a rank decision Of Merlin Wood,
the umpire. and the interference
of spectators with our catcher,
gave the Campbellsville team 9
scores and the victory.
Two weeks ago the C. v. H. S.
team defeated the combined
teams by the score of % to 10, so
the games are even. The decid-
ing game will be played at Camp
bellsville Saturday the 18th and
promises to be a most exciting
and interesting game. The fea-
lures of Saturdays game were
the excellent pitching Of Judd,
the batting of Sanders and the
fielding of Smith, Callison and
Wilson. For Campbellsville
Bass, Dorrett and Rakestrau
played the best ball. g
