WYNNEFTELD TO
TRY ORANGE
Another Fast Football Game
For Local Fans on Satur-
day

The orange football team will have
one Of the hardest games of the season
mex tsaturday, when the wynneheld
Country Club will be here for a game.
The locals played wynneheld in 1907 and
1908. the visitors winning in 1907 and the
Orange team In 1908. The visitors play
open style football entirely. and af~a a
system of plays identical with the I'aS4
Isle Indians. This kind OF play willfeive
southard and stetser, Oranges fast ends.
plenty Of hard work.
The Orange players came out Of the
game last Saturday with Camden in good
physical condition, not a man being in
iured. The men are therefore in fine form
for the Saturday game and all the play
ers are confident that they will make a
good showing against their rivals. The
team viii practice tomorrow, and only
light signal work will be indulged in.
This season the Orange team has had
one Of the hardest schedules ever ~layed.
and not a team has scored on them on
their home grounds. The players are
hopeful of continuing this record.
Orange played a fast game with CAM
den last Saturday. but they were unfor-
tunate at critical times, penalties ana
failures to make few feet IN gains be-
/ ing the cause. Of not making a touch
down BY the attendance at the local
comes. the interest in football seems to
be on teh increase. and this is undoubted-
ly caused by the open game as played
! this wear.

CENTRAL KENTUCKY SUFFERS
Wheat and Corn Crop Will Not
Make Half Yield.

Lexington, Ky.-The heavy rains
throughout Kentucky during the past few
weeks are believed to have worked havoc
with many of the crops, and it is the
claim of the farmers of Central Kentucky
that the corn and wheat crops will not
yield half as much to the acre as in the
past few years.
Much of the wheat throughout this sec
tion was cut during the past week, and
is still in the shock, and most Of the
damage to this crop will occur because
of the fact that it is shocked and the
thresher cannot be used on il. Others
claim that it will be greatly damaged be-
cause of that fact.
Most of the corn fields in Central Ken
lucky are so full of weeds that the yield
viii be greatly interfeTed with, and the
constant rains have prevented all work.
The greatest amount of rainfall known
in Kentucky in the past twenty years
has fallen during the past six weeks,
and tobacco is the only crop so far not
hurt by the bad weather.

NEAR BEER" SAVES GEORGIA
Tax Will Be Sufficient to Pay Legis-

Atlanta, Ga. - With the treasury
empty and no money in sight to pay
current bills, the legislative and other
officials are saved from going without
salary only by near beer.
Some energetic solon discovered that
there was something like s23O,OOO in
the treasury collected from near beer
tax, but which is supposed to be used
for the purchase of a prison farm. As
the administration has decided not 10
buy the farm now, the funds will be
turned back into the treasury for use
In the emergency.
When prohibition went into effect il
was decided that intoxicating liquor to
be intoxicating much contain more than
4 per cent. of alcohol. As none Of the
American beers contain more than 4
per cent, the sale of them has been
practically unmolested. The state put a
tax of $500 year upon each near beer
saloon in the state.
