to and the High School girls won
from the girls of the Darlington High
School by the tune ofl8 to 8.
jacksonville started off with great
pep" and tried to use their rough
style of play. Mr.. Steinhouser of Pa
ducah refereed and he allowed no
rough playing. Before the game had
been in progress many minutes the
jacksonville team saw they were
beaten and endeavored in vain to
stop the basket shooting Of the locals.
Brown of the local five was the
star of the game. He threw ten field
goals and his work in the team work
was splendid. Breathitt's and Rob-
erts work at forward was great Rob-
erts made five field goals. Torian
and Moseley both played steady games
as guards, always being in front .of
the passes that were intended for the
jacksonville forwards.

AN APPEAL
FOR TOBACCO
Growers in Kentucky Asked
for Donations of Leaf Tobac-
co, for Soldiers.

Among the many appeals in con-
n ,ction with the War Relief work
done in Europe by Americans, the
call for tobacco comes with such pc
cular insistence to the people of Ken
lucky, that the courtesy of the Press
is requested for brief statement to
Growers Of tobacco, from the War Re-
lief Committee operating in Louisville.
During the war of 1870 between
Germany and France, tobacco was is
sued as part of the soldiers daily ra-
tons. At the present time this is inn
possible, yet the need is greater than
ever before, and must appeal to ev-
cry man accustomed to its use. To-
bacco steadies the nerves, takes the
place of stimulants and food, and is
the only thing which allays for. a time
the sickening stencil of putrefaction
which pervades the battlefield.
The call comes from the soldiers of
many nations. Some lie suffering in
hospitals, blinded, manned or dis
figured for life; others crouch within
the narrow confines OF trenches,
listening to the thunder of guns, the
din of battle, the cry of the wounded.
Shall not we show our pity and our
comradeship by responding to their
appeal in a manner BETTING the dig
/ nifty and honor of Kentucky as a to-
bacco growing State?
Notwithstanding the fact that the
sale of tobacco is Government mo-
nopoly in France, the following letter
has been received:
Louisville, KY, Nov. II, 1915.

'MRS. GILMER S. ADAMS:
Dear Madam:-I have the honor to
inform you that all restrictions are
lifted as to sending of tobacco to the
Allies. You can therefore send all
tobaccos you desire to donate direct
to the Intendence Militaire at Bor-
deaux, France. am instructed at
the same time to thank you and your
friends in the name of the French
Government as we'll as in my name
for your generosity.
Very respectfully yours,

HERMIT'S FARE COSTS LITTLE
Reputed "Hoiy Man" of Japan SUBJ
sists on Laurel Leaves and Few
Raw Potatoes Daily.

A. hermit who has set up his private
shrine by the wayside calls himself
the incarnation of Fudosama, the god
of fire. This mysterious man makes
his abode in little coop near the
botanical gardens, paying monthly
rental of $2.25. On the plaster just
below the paper window is written:
1.-THE worshiping place Of the wood.
eating hermit"
Day and night one can see the flare
of fire on the paper window and low
voice can be heard, says the East and
West News. Every passer feels a
queer sensation as he goes by. The
visitor knocked at the dismal-looking
entrance. The one who came to an
swer was the mysterious man. He
looked to be about fifty-five and in his
brawny and reflective features he
showed magnetic smile.
1t seems he began his pious life by
scorching his body with a lighted
candle to save the life of his sick
child. He tasted 81 days and prac-
ticed water meditation. The child re-
covered. His faith grew stronger. For
30 years past he has touched no rice
or other cereal. Before the visitor he
chewed some laurel leaves. Fifty of
these, five raw potatoes, little salt
and water. were his daily fare. He is
said to effect miraculous cures.

DENoUNcE ALCOHOL.

"There is no physician who will
speak friendly word for alcoholic
liquor, either tosbe used as medical
substance or as beverage, and sci
entific men now are unanimous in the
opinion that 1t is harmful to the hui
man body" asserted DR.. Frederick r.
Green, secretary of the Council of
health and Public Instruction Of the
American Medical association, at its
recent convention at Detroit, Mich.
"At one time, within the past ten
or twelve years." said Doctor Green,
"there was a belief that alcoholic
liquor taken in small quantities was
remedial in some cases, or at least was
not harmful. This opinion has
changed and today booze is recognized
generally throughout the medical pro-
fession, not only as being not rem
edy, but as being poisoner Of the
system, cell destroyer and deter
rent to efficiency"

IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
German Idea That Makes Their
Trenches Only Little Way From
Being lmpregnabIe.

In the Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Edward
Morlae describes very clever i'm
provement the Germans have made In
their barbed-wire defenses. The
wires are usually fastened to wooden
posts, of course, but the Germans have
found better support for them. He
writes:
after we had taken the German
trench, our men set to work to remodel
IT, shifting the parapet to the other
side, building little outpost trenches
and setting barbed wire. The latter
job was done In a wonderfully short
time, thanks to German thoroughness
For the wooden stakes to which the
wire is tied they had substituted soft
iron rods, ihree-quarters of an inch
thick, twisted five times in the shape
of great corkscrew. This screw twist
ed into the ground exactly like cork
puller into a cork. The straight part
of the rod, being twisted upon itself
down and up again every ten inches,
formed six or seven small loops In a
height of about five feet. Into these
eyes the barbed wire was laid and
solidiy secured with short lengths of
tying wire.
First cutting the tying wire, we lift
ed the barbed wire out of the eyes,
showed small stick through one, and,
turning the rod with the leverage of
the stick, usncrewed it out of the
ground, and then, reversing the proc
ess, screwed 1t In again. The advan-
tage of this rod Is obvious. When
shell falls in the midst of this wire
protection, the rods are bent and twist
ed, but unless broken off short they
always support the wire, and even
after a severe bombardment present
serious obstacle to the assaulters. In
such case wooden posts are blown to
smithereens by the shells, and when
broken off they let the wire fall fiat
to the ground"
