Eever gave up and fought until the last but to no avail
 The locals put up q great game and at times played rings around" the visiting five. Led by the great playing of the two forwards Brooks and Durham, who were at their best. the locals took an early lead which they held throughout
 Columbus seemed to be puzzled at times and often the locals annexed goals while SC me of the Columbus players stood and watcked them. It was clear that the Columbus outfit was greatly off form Their team work was great at times but lacked consistency and for this reason the locals were able to roll up the score. The rough playing of the Columbus team that had been touted failed to make appearance In fact, not a single Colum- bus player showed a tendency toward the fact that he was a "rough-neck." Every player on both teams played as near a gentlemanly game as possible and still remain in the bounds of masculine bas- ketball.
 Columbus offered no alibi for their de- feat. They recognized the fact that they were up against a team that was as good If not better than theirs The advanta ge of the locals of playing their home court also had a great deal to do with the outcome.
 The locals deserve praise for the brand or ball they put up. The lightning guards, Faunce and Estis, played a re- marlIable game. holding the big Cracker guards well in check while their timely shooting increased the score. bowman played a good game in passing but fell down on shooting. However the big boy had plenty of pep and distributed 1t freely.
 assey played a good game for Colum- bus, but like the remainder of the five, vas completely off form. Struppa and McDuffie showed they were two fast for wards but couldn't get away. Patterson and Turner guarded well at different sta gesj of the battle but found Durham and Brooks too fast for them
 Only one reason can be offered for the Columbus defeat and that Is that they were outplayed Other objects can enter into the game as minor reasons. Colum- bus, however, took their defeat as regu- lar sports.
 A game was scheduled with Manager Bridges for game here on Wednes- day, February 16, with the B. A. C..

Phenomenal Tobacco Sales All Over
 the South

Leading tobacco jobbers and retailers
 in all the southern states unanimously
 declare that during the past six months
 they have experienced a tremendous in-
 crease in the demand and sales of Tuxedo
 smoking tobacco
 The manufacturers of this tobacco nave
 published scores of letters of prominent
 southern jobbers and retail dealers, all bearing testimony to the record break ing increase in Tuxedo sales, in the form of double-page advertisement in news papers throughout the south Enterprise like this on the part of man ufacturers should be encouraged. It helps business in general in the south by showing merchants and manufactur- CTS in all lines that southerners have plenty of money to spend and will spend their money for product that possesses merit It inspires confidence by calling attention to the large number of southern merchants and retailers whose business is steadily growing, a sure sign of prosper ous times.
 1 The manufacturers of Tuxedo tobacco are to be compimented on the quality of | their product congratulated on their en- | terprise and initiative, and thanked for 1 their successful demonstration of the principle, cit pays to advertise" because
 Tuxedo is the best advertised tobacco in ! the south.-Adv.

The latest official bulletin from Con- stantinople reports improved conditions for the Turks. who have apparently recently been under extremely severe pressure by the Russians. Although the Ottoman forces around Erzerum seem ngly have not been successful in un- dertaking an offensive, they have been able to repulse all the renewed Rus sian attacks they declare.

WATCHING ROUMANIA

With such a movement in the Bal kans in prospect, reports that come out of Roumania command increasing at tention. Advices from allied sources de- clare that the friction between Rou- mania and the central powers has in- creased and that Roumania supposed ly in view of the reported threatening attitude of Germany and Austria, has collected forces close to the Austro- Hungarian frontier.
 The chief capitals of the entente all lies appear to be impressed with the idea that an important of- fensive is shortly to be begun by the Germans in the west. The belief is prompted largely by the military move ments noted along the Franco Belgian front in recent days.

LIABILITY LAW
may Be CHANGED
Commissioner A. 3. Funk Makes
Recommendations In Biennial
Report Made to Cover
nor Clarke
RAISE MINIMUM PAY
One Dollar Increase Is Suggested
Here With So Raise. on
the Maximum
Amounts.

VI many recommendations for
strengthening the workmens COM
pensation law of Iowa, contained in
the biennial report filed with the gov
ernor by A. B. Funk, Industrial commits
fsloner, perhaps the most important to
the thousands of wage earners of Iowa,
| Is the provision urging that the mini
mum compensation for injured work
men under the law be increased from
$5 to IS week and that the maximum
be increased from $40 to $12 week.
In the two years period from July
l, 1914, there were 31,742 persons in
jured in industrial accidents in Iowa,
the commissioner reports.
OF this number of persons injured,
only 6,769 drew compensation under
the workmen's compensation law.
The remaining accidents were not of
a serious nature.
! The important recommendations for
changes In the workmen's compensa-
ton law made by the commissioner
are:
That provisions be made for ap-
pointment of a deputy commissioner.
That the law be amended to aid in
including the evils of noninsurance
That the minimum compensation be
increased to S. and the maximum to
S12 a week.
be increased from two 20 four weeks.
That in cases of prolonged disabil-
ity, the injured workman in the fourth
fifth and sixth weeks receive compen.
sation for the first and second week.
CAT presen. no compensation is paid
for the first two weeks of disability
That the way of appealing to the
district court from arbitration rulings
be made more clear.
That additional safeguards be pro-
vided in the case OF lump sum settle
ments.
Provision making the loss Of hear.
ing compensate as specific partial
permanent disability.
Exempt arbitration proceedings
from the rules Of common law as to
|evidence.
Exempt employers from reporting
accidents In which persons injured
are disabled for no. more than one
day.
Require all employers who reject
the compensation law and who fail to
insure. to post notice Of such failure.
In asking for a deputy commits
sioner, Mr.. Funk states that .he work
o: the industrial commission has
grown so that it is impossible for one
commissioner to conduct all of the ar
hi.rations arising out of the operation
OF the law.
The commissioner finds that the
failure of employers to insure is one Of
the most serious problems in Iowa.
In many cases when an employe is in
jured. it is discovered that the employ
er is not responsible financially. The
injured workman then fails to collect
anything for injuries received
