Eastern VS.. Somerset

The Eastern boys went down in defeat
Saturday night when they tackled the
fast quintet from Somerset. The game
was fast throughout, but was remark
ably clean and free of fouls. The first
half was extremely exciting, both teams
playing at top speed, and neither show
ing much superiority over the other.
The period ended with score of II to
Z in favor of Somerset.
The last half was even more speedy
than the first, and for time, the East
erners threatened to tie the score. but
gradually Somerset drew ahead and the
game ended 20 to IA.
Broaddus at guard played a great
game, holding his man to three goals
while getting two himself. Simmons
worked like lightning and made some
phenomenal shots. For the visitors
Converse at guard was the particular
star.
As whole the team work and goal
shooting of the Normal boys was fine.
but they were miserable on free throws.

The officials were Prof. McCorkle,

Parcels Post.

All Kentucky farmers can well afford
the time and expense of a letter to Their
Senators and Congressman urging them
to exert themselves in favor Of parcels
post which must necessarily be of great
benefit TO that class of farmers living on
rural mail route who at any time
might desire small packages of mer-
chandise delivered to them by the mail
carrier. A letter similar TO the copy
printed below will do much towards
bringing about this greatly desired legis-
lation. Opposition is hard at work to
kill the parcels past. We must speak
for what we want.

Thcs. II. Paynter and Congressman
Harvey Helm.
GENTLEMEN
You are doubtless aware that pending
legislation in Congress regarding a Par
cells Post is Of great importance and in
terest to the farmers of Kentucky. Be-
cause a liberal parcels post system
would be Of great benefit to the farming
interests Of Kentucky without posi-
bility Of detriment. you must see that
the farmers of the State are much in
favor Of such legislation when the mat
ter is called TO their attention.
Your constituency is at least seventy
five per cent agricultural and ninety per
cent Of it is directly dependent on the
farms for livelihood. Il seems, there
fore, to US who have duly considered
the matter that your influence should
be exerted in favor Of liberal parcels
post system. thing much desired by
those who elected you.
E.B. Moon, Secretary Of the American
League of Associations. aptly voted the
opposition to a parcels post when he said
before the Senate Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads, I'VE are oppos
ed to parcels post of any kind on the
broad general ground that the Govern
ment should not further engage in en-
terprises in competition with its citi-
zens. The ''citizens" referred to by
Mr.. Moon arr not the farmers or bust
ness men Of Kentucky, but the stock |
holders Of the four big express COM
paDies and the railroads that own ex-
press company stock.
Can you hesitate between your own
and the express companies

 That's the funniest thing of all," Bivens whispered. He's not an ex ception. Understand, I'm loyal to the king. He's a wonder. I like him. I like his big head, his big shaggy eye brows, his big hands and big feet. I like to hear him growl and snap his answer-'Yes,' 'No'-that means life or death to men who kneel at his feet. He's dead game sport But he, too, has his little blots in his early copy books at school if you rare to turn the pages
 s'Nop' Stuart Interrupted incredu- lously-
 E'Yes, sir; he turned the slickest trick on Uncle Sam of all the bunch. He was a youngster, and it was his first deal. When the civil war broke out the government had no guns for the volun- teers. He learned that there were 5000 old Hall carbines stored away among the junk in one of the national arsenals in New York He bought these guns lon 8 crediD for song, about $3 apiece, and shipped them to General Fremont, who was in St. Louis bowling for arms. Fremont agreed to pay $22.50 each for the new rifles and closed the deal at once by drawing on the government for enough to enable the young buccaneer to pay his three dollar contract price to Uncle Sam in New York and lay aside a snug sum for rainy day besides
 "When Fremont found that the guns
 were worthless he advised the gov ernment to stop payment on the bal
 ance- It was stopped on the ground of i fraud. And then the youngster show 1 ed the stuff he was made of. Did he crawl and apologize? Not much. He sued the United States government for the full amount and pushed that suit 1 to the supreme court. In the face of 1 the sneers of his enemies he won and
 took the full amount with interest. 1 He's the king today because he was | born king. His father was million | aire before him. He's the greatest
 financial genius of the century,"

The walls were complete ly hidden by painted scenery repre- senting the mountains of western North Carolina.

However, the sta1wart form of Robert Karkunoff, one of the managers of the Eleanor Cleveland company, came along, and grasping the pon11nel and the horn of the saddle, by sheer strength raised the animal from the ground sufficiently to enable others to draw the young man from beneath. The animal had been partially stunned by the fall, and lay for some time before he was able to rise and proceed, with no broken bones; the young man was likewise uninjured, except that he was badly shaken up, and some what bruised.
