KENNEDY AND
BLOCKER IN
BIG BATTLE

Hammond-essentiall a football
town--is a divided city today. The
question is not; who are we for. Pur-
due or Chicago? but, shall we root for
Blocker or Kennedy?
This town has never before been rep
resented on both sides of a gridiron
battle as important as the Chicago
Purdue game this afternoon 1t is ac-
cepted as certain that Walter Kennedy
of the Maroons will play and Frank
Blocker of Purdue is a regular at
guard.
Plum Not Eligible.
Had not Bernard Plum. a Purdue
student also of Hammond failed in his
German while making excellent grades
in all other studies, Hammond would
have three men in the big game. Plum
is the equal of Blocker In all depart
ments of the game according to fans.
He was in Hammond this morning
visiting his parents and though barred
from the game he is as enthuiastic as
any.
Plum will be able to play next year.
He has allowed himself to be used as
a buffer for the varsity this fall and in
many cases has lead the scrubs in at
tacks that made things very uncom-
Portable for the regulars.
About a hundred went to the game
from here. C. NJ. Mcdaniel, superin-
tendent of the schools was missed al
noon and as he is the greatest football
fan of all it Is rumored that he left fol
the big battle.

The following has been received by
The News with request that the same
be published:
The cotton crop Of 1918 will soon be
thrown on the market and the question
I is shall we dump it on the market re-
gardiess of price or conditions, or are
you going to control your crop so It
1 win bring 10 you the cost Of production
and a profit. The Southern States
Cotton Corporation stands ready to aid
you lin holding your cotton off the mar
ket till it is needed at fair price, Civ
ing to the farmers all the unnecessary
expense that has heretofore gone to
the middle man. less the contract fee.
II the Corporation was not a safe
proposition or was illegal 1t would
have been exposed in all the papers,
but the fact that only praise from all
who have investigated the object
sought for through this system OF mar
keting the betterment and upllft OF the
400 million dollars annually to the
south should enlist the support of
everyone no matter what his calling or
profession may be, for all will receive
their share directly or indirectly of
this vast saving that has heretofore
,Aqe to enrich other people and built
ub other countries at the expense of
the south
The farmers are looking to the bank
ers and merchants to take the initia-
tive in backing up this system OF mar
keting and II there is anything that Is
wrong with this system they should
come out in the open and expose it. II
conditions should arise this fall sim
liar to 1907 and 1911 1t will be neces-
sary for the Corporation to have
enough cotton contracted to control
the market
The. Southern States Cotton Corpora
ton is not an experiment or a theory
but an assured fact and will be reck-
oned within the cotton markets in the
future and already the large financial
atd cotton firms of Eurnpe have recog-
nized this fac', and are offering all the
needed help they may require to carry
on the'- operations.
Bankers, merchants farmers OF
Bryan county, are you going TO help
or will you hinder in this great sys-
tenn? 1t will mean about one million
dollars more annually to the farmers
of Bryan county than has been receiv-
ed under the present system of mar
keting. This means more home own
ers, less mortgages and credit and
more business done on a cash basis.
Witha monopoly of one of the greatest
products that cannot be duplicated it
will make of the south the richest and
most prosperous country in the world.
The Southern States Cotton Corpor-
alton Invites the fullest investigation
as to its method of doing business and
are never too busy to answer any
questions that may be referred to
them.
