Monday night the Berea varsity
basket ball team met its first de-
feat Of the season at the hands of
the Georgetown aggregation on the
latter's floor. The final score was
1927.
The Georgetown team piled up
the score in the first four minutes
play by fast and spectacular pass
ing After this the Berea boys
came To themselves and played the
better basketball during the re-
mainder Of the game. But they
could not overcome the lead of their
opponents.
This game was harder fought and
better played than the one between
the same teams on the local floor
two weeks ago. The Georgetown
boys realized that they must dc
something to redeem their record
The entire game was clean and
snappy. Hembree pitched seven
fouls out OF nine chances and
Walkers running was spectacular
The Berea boys report a royal
entertainment at the hands Of their
Georgetown friends and earnestly
desire to visit them again when the
opportunity comes.
The Berea students are justly
proud of their representatives.

B"RADSTREETS REPORT

wide area has hampered trade in
some interior regions of the south
west. likewise railway operations and
mail deliveries, but in the larger
sense the meteorological conditions
have acted as an additional tonic to
final distribution. In consequence
heavyweight goods have moved from
the hands of retail dealers in full
volume and, aided by seasonal clear
ance sales, stocks have been further
reduced. Sales of dry goods for flu
ture delivery are exceptionally heavy,
perhaps the heaviest noted at this
season for three years back, and fears
OF deficient supplies from mills al
ready backward in making deliveries,
are very general. Industry In gem
eral Is employed to full capacity,
steel mills are sold six to seven
months forward. prices continue to
soar, mills are not booking far ahead

LAKE COUNTY PAPERS.

Wit and humor IRE two manifestations of that quality of ex-
preston which makes us laugh. Humor is a kindly element indulg-
ing in a breadth of drollery rather than in briliancy of point. Wit
is a swift perception of the homogeneous and is more purely intellec-
tual than humor. Wit. although 1t does lend itself to written work,
is inherently oral in its expression.
American newspapers do not use wit and humor in their head
lines. Such examples as there are ae isolated cases and the reason
seems to lie in the inherent nature of these qualities.
In considering why wit and humor are so are in newspaper
headlines, one must turn his attention to the rules which govern the
making of heads. The head must be short, definite, and must con-
tain action, that is, a verb. Slang. unless exceptionally timely is a
forbidden feature. Headlines contain, according to the number OF
decks or lines, from twenty to forty words, which must cover, in
pthy phrasing, the main content of the article following.
Now wit consists typicaly in a neat turn of speech by which
disconnected ideas n Unexpectedly associated. An unexpected fit
ness seems to form the essence OF wit. but in order to have this fit
ness there must be a background OF associated ideas against which it
the brief space allotted to headlines. Humor requires more
expansive background than wit. Although a pun can be worked in
at times, puns re seldom witty in the keen sense of the word.
A humorous heading in a recent issue OF the New York World
reads, Living Lavish1y on $40 a Week." but an analysis of the a-
tne following shows that this head has failed in its official purpose
of indicating the matter of the story.
The same paper has a n article headed, Spanking a Wife o. X.
in Some Cases" but one finds himself inclined to smile rather more
at the writer than at the head.
A country paper, whose readers are more leisurely and less ag-
gressive than in the city, might indulge successfully in this type OF
heads and In fact such Is often the case, but these papers are not
typical Of the American press in its developed form, and should not
be included in a serious consideration.
We conclude briefly then. that newspaper heads do not contain
wit and humor because these qualities re contrary to the office of
the headline. E

SUNK IN THE MISSOURI
Alcester Man VIII Explore for Boat
Sunk 81 Years Ago.

Alcester, Jan. 17.-George Cole, OF
Alcester, can't give up the idea that
there is a large quantity of good old
whisky inside of that steamboat that
was sunk on a sandbar in the Mis-
souri, river south of Elk Point fifty
seven years ago. George located the
boat some years ago." buried about
twenty feet below the surface in a
bed Of sand and silt. He had work
men dig down to the upper deck. but
he did not have equipment to get be-
low. Everything he found on the up
per deck was as sound as the day the
boat was sunk.
Last week he made arrangements
with the Hawarden Sand & Gravel
company for the use of the machinery
they have been using to pump gravel
out of the bottom of the Big Sioux
river and he shipped 1t to Elk Point
and will install it alongside the old
boat. With this machinery he hopes
to pump out the sand and silt In a
short time and find out what is in
side. 1t is known that there Is q
large quantity of lumber on the boat.
This is In a good state of preserva-
ton and will pay for the e%xcavating
expenses. II those ~57-year-old whis-
ky casks have withstood the ravages
of Missouri river water. Mr.. Cole Is
of the opinion that a moonshiner's
