From Hannibal Friday
Night.
FINAL SCORE "A TO 16
Local HasketbaIiers Have Everything
Their Own Way-Game
Marked by Rough
ness.

Another victory for the fast 7. NJ.
NJ. c. A. basket ball team was set
down on the books Friday night when
they took the Hannibal Y NJ. c. A.
team into camp by the score of A to
16 on the local floor. The game was
the fastest and most hotly contested
of any seen here this year, although
from the toss up to the last whistle.
The fact that Allen at center was
slightly bested on the Jumps was the
only thing that kept the score as low
as 1t was. The work Of Merriam, Han
nibal center. stood head and shoul
ders above that OF his team mates.
The Hannibal team was not nearly as
well balanced as the local FIVE. Allen,
as usual, grabbed the lions share of
baskets for the city champs. Chuck
King did not play up to his usual
form.
The game was marked for its rough
ness all the way through, although
not many fouls were called. The
Hannibal representatives were &C
curate on the baskets and would have
rolled up a large score had they been
less efficiently guarded.
A game played between these two
teams on the Hannibal floor should
be worth going miles to see A large
crowd turned out to see the fray.

Burn The Thistles,

The following which appeared in last
weeks Guymon Herald shows what
some of the farmers OF Texas county
are doing to help insure their crops
next year and is just what every Bea-
yer county farmer should do. Get
away with the thistles aud rubbish this
winter and you have taken lorg step
in conquoring bugs, grasshoppers and
other pests which will molest crops
next spring unless they are destroyed
now. The article follows:
while passing along the road going
TO Tyrone recently we noticed the far
mers there had raked the Russian
thistles in big piles preparatory to
burning them, cleaning them out
thoroughly from the fences along the
way. This is something farmers all
over the county should do. 1t will
prevent dirt and sand having a lodging
place and burying fences for rod at a
stretch, to say nothing OF killing mil
lions of eggs deposited in weeds by
grasshoppers and bugs. Vacant farms
should be looked after IL the best re-
suits are to be expected. But IL every
farmer will burn his own weeds and
keep his fences clean he will find II a
profitable investment"

Dear Editor:
In your issue of December 18th your

at an article that appeared in the

this association will say that ninety
per cent of his neighbors that raise
broomcorn are members of Clear Lake
Local No, ll5 N, B. @. G. A. 1t is true
that some cannot be talked into join
ing. But il is also true this association
is better OIL by some not being men,
bers. Now ! don't dispute that there
is some good seed not controlled by
this association. Neither do I dispute
that Mr.. Lane has good seed. But
when your correspondent says he is
not advertising that seed by taking
issue | challenge his statement. For
anyone reading the HERALD will see
that he used the same column week
after week TO advertise his sorghum
molasses In the same issue you will
see he is advertising his 1914 sorghum
ana that Ed Lane is his partner. |
claim as secretary of Beaver county of
this association to be better informed
on the questions OF this association than
your correspondent in regard to seed ,
membership and anything else pertain
ing to broomcorn. II there are hun
dreds OF others not members with good
seed why did he NOS at least mention
one or two others il they we're 30 nu-

Hoping you will publish this state
ment in justice to our association and
