KILL MOSQUITOES
While Swalling Flies Don't For
get The Singing Nuisance.

At the last meeting of thu Civic
4 League, attention was called tn the
mousquito nuisance, and The mem
bers asked 10 take it under personal
consideration, and each one resolve
herself into committee of one to see
if she could not envolve some plan
by which we could get rid of this
spest. ] wonder how many people ia
ne city know, including our revert
end city fathers that Hopkinsville
is as much noted for breeding
place for mosquitoes as it is for good
schools? And one is most certainly
an offset for the other. For at
least four months in the year, and
that during the time when outdoor
life should be a joy and blessing
ife in this town is m lde hideouS by
hordes of hungry mosquitoes. and
one is forced to stay indoors or be
devoured by them. If it were an
impossible thing to ge rid of them.
why then we would be resigned TO
our lot, and take it as one Of the
necessary evils of life. But that is
not the case. we CAN and SHOULD
get rid of them and that right now.
We all know and remember what
grand work Governor General Wood
did for Havana and for all Cuba by
Kidding that lovely island of the
death dealing "stigomia" that
caused the germs of Yellow Fever.
Again we remember the grand work
done in New Orleans along the same
lines, and in Panama also. Today,
Havana and New Orleans are
healthy. and delightful residence
cities. and in Panama it is said a
mousquito dares not raise its voice.
In fact, there are none there, and
that fever ridden zone is now as
healthy as anywhere in this country.
What has been done ON large scale
can be done much easier on smaller
one. and it is UP to US. to each one
of us. to make it OUR business to
eliminate the mousquito.
The bulletins issued on the subject
all tell US. that practically we all
raise our own mosquitoes. 1t is a
common fallacy that they breed in
ponds and rivers and large bodies Of
water only. Well. they do to a GER
tain extent. but not in moving wat
err, and 80 adaptable are they that
they breed in almost any damp spot.
A discarded tin can, or a piece of
broken crockery that will hold an
NAV of water becomes a fertile
source Of propagation. and the holes
in and around our homes where
puddles form are also favorite breed
ing grounds. Our cisterns If not
wei and closely covered become in
Tested by them. as all Of us at times
'have seen the wiggle tails drawn up
from them. and these wigglers be-
come mosquitoes.
Like flies. mousquitoes carry
germs Of diseases. II Is well known

EASY FOR TOPEKA II. S.
AT End of First Half the score Is
20 to o.

The Topeka high school team ran
away with the heavier LeaVenworth
players, piling up a score of 20 to 0 in
the first half. The forward pass was a
good ground gamer for the local..
Captain He'll won the toss and chose
the west goal, receiving the kick.
Preussner returned the ball 15 yards
and added 10 on an end run. Two
forward passes to Martin and Malone
carried the ball in their striking dis
tance and Willard went over for a
touchdown, 2A minutes after the
whistle. He'll kicked goal.
Leavenworth received the kickoff
and lost the ball on downs on their
five yard line, Morris taking the ball
over Topeka's second touchdown. He'll
added goal.

lard went over for the third touch
down. He'll missed goal.
More trouble was encountered by
the Topeka boys on the next kickoff
Hossifer kicked over the goal and He'll
attempted to run it in. He was downed
and freed to punt. LeaSenworth was
gaining on passes at the end of the
quarter
Most of the second quarter was re-
quired for Topeka to score again. An
interchange of punts marked the
quarter, Morris going over for another
touchdown and He'll kicking goal.
Dickerson added another touchdown

GAME IS POSTPONED.
More Rain at Philadelphia Delays
Worlds Series.

Philadelphia, Oct 21-The fourth
game between the Philadelphia Ath-
the baseball championship of the
world, which was scheduled to be
played here last Wednesday, was post
poned today for the fourth time and
under the rules will be played on
Monday or the first clear day.
Rain fell heavier today than at any
time since the present wet weather set
in, last Tuesday night.
Umpires KLEIN, Connolly and Dineen
under instructions from the national
commission, went to Shibe park at
1880 o'clock this morning to make an
early decision so that an announce
ment could be made in New York and
other eastern cities within easy reach
of Philadelphia. The umpires agreed
before they left their hotel that there
could be no game
Connie Mack was not at the ball
grounds when the umpires made their
decision but when he arrived and took
a look at the wretched condition of
that it was doubtful if a game would
be played Monday unless the rain soon
ceased.
The wet weather is giving the mana
ger of the Athletics an opportunity to
catch up on his correspondence which
has been unusually heavy since the
Philadelphia team won its second
game from New York Among IeIe-
ton to play one of the games in Ia
coma, Wash.
Players Released Until Monday.
The mem bers Of the Philadelphia
team reported at the grounds as usual
today and were excused until Monday
morning at 10 o'clock, when they will
try to get some much needed practice,
if the weather permits. Reuben Old
ring, the center fielder, returned to
Mt Vernon, n. Y, where his sister will

said his mother was very ill.
AS soon as the game was officially
postponed Manager McGraw of the New
York team released the members of
his team until Monday morning and
they scattered in all directions. Most
of them left for New York at II
o'clock
The two days postponement also
enabled hundreds of out of town peo
PIE who have been here since Wednes-
day to see the fourth game, to go home
over Sunday.

Minneapolis. Oct. 21.-The game be-
tween Minnesota and Nebraska today
is regarded as the most important OF
the season thus far by each team. In
the preliminary games Minnesota's
showing has been disappointing 70 her
followers. Nebraska on the other hand
has run up unusually high scores in
her preliminary games.
Nebraska's back field is said 70 be
unusually fast and shifty while the line
is heavy and strong.
Minnesota is said to have improved
greatly in the last two weeks. but A. is
generally conceded that Nebraska has
about as good chance to defeat
Minnesota this year as she ever had.

game between Chicago university and

anywhere near the capability OF the
two teams. Illinois prepared for the

The charge that the state Journal
has no statewide circulation is too
ridiculous to deny. This paper has
never maintained that it has a larger
outside circulation than that of the
Capital In fact, it always admits that
the Capitals circulation is larger on
the outside, but it denies that the
local circulation of the Capital is as
large as the local circulation of the
State Journal.
