Basket Ball.

N. H. 8. 50; WINTHROP H. 8. ID.
Norway High had no trouble 10 win
ming it's basket ball game at the Opera
House Friday evening. The visitors,
although they worked hard and were
fast on their feet, were very uncertain in
their shooting for baskets, and did not
show much in the manner of team play.
1t wasa game in which slight accidents
to the players were frequent, and at four
different times the game was delayed to
allow some player an opportunity to re-
cover from an injury. In a collision
with one of the Winthrop players, San
derson injured his right eye, and 1t is
possible that 1t may bother him some
for a while.
Norway was leading at the end OF the
first half BY score of 38 to a, but In the
second half the visitors did a little bet
ter and Norway began practicing team
combinations so that the score did not
run as high. There was nothing in the
line of feature plays and little that call
ed out any enthusiasm from the specta-
tors.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1915-02-23

No lover of basket ball should miss
the game to be played at the Opera
House next Friday evening. Portland
High School will be the visiting team,
and their record this season stamps
them as one of the very best high school
teams of the state. OF course they are
after the state championship and have
been meeting and defeating all Corners.
They are coming here with the fixed in
tention of defeating Norway on their
home floor, and unless Norway play the
best game of which they are capable,
the visitors may make good their inten-
tiOps.

A deer which had been chased by
dogs in the crust was found week ago
Sunday back Of the reservoir near j. Il.
Clark's. Tracks Of the deer and dogs
were discovered by Will Bray, who fol-
lowed them up and found the deer. IL
was a doe, thought to be two years old
and weighing about hundred pounds.
Her nose was considerably lacerated.
She was taken to the buildings of j. ID.
Clark, and given attention, but died
shortly afterward. Game Warden Bark
or Of West Paris was called and gave d.
rections for the disposal OF the carcass.
Those interested in the dog question say
that the dogs which chased the deer
must have come from some other town,
as all of them here were accounted for.

DIXIE HIGHWAY WANTED.

The people of this valley stoulu 10
;,+ansaIy interested in the construct
ion of the Dixie Highway across IL
f-o,r the Tennessee river to this place
via Jasner. and on across Cumberland
plateau to Tracy City The very tact
of it. construction along substantial
lines by the promoters would mean tne
omnlovmept of an army of laborers'
This is esuecially true when the four
teen miles of road to Tracy CITY is
considered, which would have to De
built from bottom mp to make a passa-
hIe road for autos at all times OF tne
year
The mountain road here is splend'
id one. and, with tbs addition OF d
crrsber nlenty of sand rock is avalla-
HE some of it of exceptionable hard
ness A portable crusher would aVoiu
n vast amount of hauling-the rock
beina crushed almost on the spot. "A
n,ant Of this kind would be necessary
n secure rock for the road after reach
ing plateau .L
This road is not intended for a ricn
mans plaything, but to subserve Tue
interests of all. People of moderate
means have autos now, and tnn them
cheaper to keep up and operate than
horse and vehicle. And the number oil
auto owners is constantly increasing
Besides this auto travel means dlstrl'
button of money, often in districts
where money is sorely needed. with
the present Chattanooga to- Nashville
route, via this place added as unit
to the proposed 1OOO-miIe highway
from Chicago to Miami, Florida, tne
number of auto parties passing via tnl'
valley would very greatly increase
and mean a great deal in various way
to our citizens, possibly lead to very
extensive development Every inf1u
ence therefore, should be brought tt
bear to have the Nashville route Sc
lected at the conference in Chattanoo
ga over the matter April 3.

LIME THE SOIL.

Cline in Agriculture, is an inter-
esting pamphlet on the advantages OF
lining the soil, sent out by the NJ,
G. and st. L R'y. This treatment OF
the soil is proving very successful, not
only in tn valley but on the Cumoer-
land plateau. We hope that our farm
ers will wake up to the advantages OF
this process, and thoroughly lime at
least one of their fields and make a
test. A most practical test can be Sc
our,1 by LINING one-half of hela'
and letting the other half remain I'M
lined. The result then, either for or
against, would be very obvious. From
The pamphlet we learn that such lime
can b. secured from parties at Bridge
port, jasper and Pikeville, and there
is no exru.e not to try it.

belief prevails here. based on what is
known of the attitude of officials. that
there will be no arbitration in the Arabic

1t may be stated upon authority that II
the German government in the final
analysis seeks to maintain a policy OF
which the Arabic note and not the Won

atve, the American government Will re-
vert to the stern purposes by which ii
was guided before the Won Bernstorff
note was received.
In other words. friends of the President
say he will break off diplomatic relations
with Germany If 1t is clearly established
that the imperial government does not
intend to stand by her rule not to sink
noncombatan passenger ships without
warning and without guaranteeing the
safety of passengers.
1t is difficult for officials here to be-
lieve that Germany will assume that her
submarine commanders are to be the sole
judges as to whether an attempt to re-
sst capture is made by passenger ships
threatened by submarines. The Ameri-
can government will not assent to such
procedure and will regard insistence by
Germany upon this point as the equiva-
lent of the notification of the German
assurances, officials declare.

Insurance Companies and Savings
Banks May Be Barred from
= Taking Up Big Loan.

New York. Sept. 1.-THE French
financial commission. which arrived in
this country OIL Friday for the pur-
pose of Obtaining a credit of from
$500. 600. 000 to 81 600. .00O. 0O9, did no
work today.

So indefinite is the proposition which
the commission and the American hank
crs will have to WORK ont that the MEM
hers are very rrticCut about their plans.
\ question has been raised whether the
insurance companies and the savings
banks can subscribe 70 a part of the loan
il they 81 desire. 1t IS understood that
the insurance companies can. but the
savinEs institutions are barred. so that
the trust companies. national banks and
private bankers will have 10 be depended
uron to take up the loan II the mission
is a success.
In a nutshell. the whole proposition is
whether it can hc arranged for the
American bankers to grant a large credit
TO London for trad purposes. If that
IS accomplished. it is said. the London
banks will direct their customers to
draw their checks directly on specified
New York banks. resulting in A worlG-
wide dollar exchange instead of rounds
sterling.
