BASKET BALL

Friday night AT Mclean gym the
locals will have a chance to get re-
venge on the jacksonville team. Sew
eral weeks ago High School played
jacksonville and were beaten, but it
was due to the fact that the Madison
vile gym was much smaller than the
High School team was accustomed to-.
jacksonville has very good team
and will give the local quintet hard
fight. The game will be played ac-
cordmg to the new rules and Madi-
sOnville will have little chance to use
the rough style of play that they used
so effectively in the last game.
The locals are in the best condition
they have been in this season. Their
hoor-work is excellent and after two
weeks hard practice at basket shoot
ing the whole team shows great i'm
provement in every way. The Hop
kinsville lineup will be as follows:
Breathitt and Roberts, forwards;
Brown, center; Moseley and Torian,
guards.
The girls will have their first out
of-town game Friday night They
have been practicing all season, but
this is the first time the manager has
had a chance to arrange a game for
them. The Jacksonville girls have
a strong team and the game promises
to be a splendid exhibition from ev-
cry standpoint. The Hopkinsville's
girls lineup will be-; Misses Camp
bell and Breathitt, forwards; Henry,
center; MADDEN and Hultz, guards.
This will be a very expensive game
as the High School has to pay the ex-
penses of both the boys and girls
teams. 1t will be necessary for the
patrons and students Of the school to
rally to the support Of the team and
help the management to pay out on
this game. Two good games are as
sured and the school will appreciate
the support of the town people in
their athletic contests.

PURE FOOD RECEIPTS GROW

The receipts are from the sale of tax stamps and for the registration of, brands of feed.

If they will wrap the leftover piece in the up-to-date original airtight wrapping paper that will be put into use soon it will Keep as fresh as if never cut. What have said has merely been said in explanation of the situation of the bakers in facing the advance in wheat products. Flour having advanced from $5 to $9 barrel, lard from to F cents, and with yeast up higher than ever before, the bakers reai- ly face crisis, as do the consumers, and we want to help the consumers economize by giving them the big To- cent loaf at the present price
 There are other things than the price of flour that make things look some what ging to the bakers. Since the beginning of the typhoid epidemic in Birmingham several months ago, the bakers trade has been cut 50 per cent due to precautions on account of fever. Then about August 10, an ordinance pro- viding for the wrapping of all bread III sanitary airtight wrapping paper, was passed by the city commission, and scheduled to go into effect about Septen- Der 10. This incurred an additional large expense on the bakers, as those familiar with the present high price of paper will see. The nearest approximate cost of producing a 5-cent loaf of bread, accord ing to figures compiled by MT. McGough, showed that the raw material put into the bread amounted to between 60 and 70 per cent, with only from 30 to 40 per cent left for overhead expenses and profit That is under normal conditions.
 Bakers of Birmingham will not be able to comply with the bread wrapping law which becomes effective September 10, according to MT. McGough. number of letters replying to paper orders, from various large paper houses stated that 1t would require from six to eight weeks for them to fill the orders, Inasmuch as the city commission allowed only about 30 days for the ordinance to be- come effective. it was rendered impossi- ble for the bakers to get in a position to wrap the bread.
 Several bakers attended the meeting of the commission when the wrapping ordinance was adopted, and 1t was at their instance that the ordinance was not made law immediately. Paper could not be obtained then, nor can 1t be by September 10. The bakers are gong to comply with this law. and they con sider 1t a good one. but more time will have to be allowed, unless the special small orders they have sent out bring early relief
 Just how long the bakers VIII continue to bake the small loaf is unknown, as there has been no set time to dis pense with it. However, they are request ing that the housewives assist them by asking for the 10-cent loaf. The small loaf is condemned in Birmingham, and there will be no 6-cent loaf. The 10-cent loaf will predominate.
