PRESCOTT IS, GUDRON 8

The Prescott Boosters" de- feated the Gurdon team here yesterday by a score of Is to s.
 The game was plainly Pre- scott's from the start. Gurdon's $ team is composed of really good material but the making" is better adapted to games other than base ball
 As we have stated before there are plenty of good amateur ball players in our city, and we ought to have a team that could handle any amateur players in the state
 Other games will be played here and you should attend them. You may see Prescott get an other goat. "

VALUE OF LIFE

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 4.-That human
life is our paramount asset and that
its conservation should be our para
mount issue, was the assertion made
by E. E. Rittenhouse, conservation
commissioner of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society of the United States,
in an address before the National Con-
servation congress. Commissioner Rit-
tenhouse said in part:
"The first right in humanity's bill of
rights is the right TO live. To protect
human life from needless destruction
is the primary purpose of organized
society I'VE nave made progress in
preventing life waste, but it has been
confined to contagious or infectious
diseases. At the same time the death
rate from the degenerative diseases of
middle life and old age against which
we have waged no war, has steadily
increased"
