SOUTH HIGH HOLDS
TO SLIM VICTORY
Basket Awarded When Whistle
Blows While Ball Was
in the Air.
DISPUTE NOT YET SETTLED

The South High school basket ball
team defeated the Central High
school team Friday night by the ap-
parent score Of 50 to 81. AT the close
of the contest Coach Harold Multi
gan Of the Central FIVE challenged the
score, and Referee Bob Hager de-
clared the result open, pending a
conference of officials. Coach Patton
of the South team claims the game
and says he will carry the argument
TO the Nebraska State Athletic asso-
ciation Il necessary.
Captain Corr Of the Souths started
the scoring by placing the first bas-
ket, which was quickly followed by
Graham, star forward. Before five
minutes had elapsed the latter had
added up a total of six goals and
the Packers were in the lead, IA to 0.
First Half the FASTEST.
By a whole lot the FIRST half was
the fastest, although the usual dash
and brilliancy of play died down to
regular business long before the
half was completed. Captain Patty
shot free throw, the first point oi
the Central FIVE, on the sixth minute.
A series OF clever maneuvers in which
the Smith -Logan-Konecky combina-
tion figured, brought bunch Of four
baskets. The half ended with the
score l6 to II in favor Of the South
athletes.
Central came back with spirit in the
second half, and established early a
lead, which was maintained until five
minutes before the close of the half
Billy Graham initiated another mil
and with the ever ready Wilson and
Corr at his heels, series of six bas.
kcts were piled up. A minute before
the half ended Central led by fou
points. Corr and Graham brought
home the bacon with basket each ii
time and when time was called the
score stood so to 80, tie.
Argument Is Started.
A fve-minute continuation was au,
thorized. Patty threw basket which
was soon followed by a free throw
by Corr. AT the last moment, wher
the ball was in the air, the whistle
blew. The timekeeper had not fin,
ished sounding when the ball snapped
through the ring. Hager held up two
fingers as 1000 frantic rooters rushed
pell-mell onto the floor. The game
was over.
An argument among officials imme
diateiy ensaed. Referee Hager de
clarcd he had not heard the whistl,
and had not called the game unit
Timekeeper Hahn tapped him on tn
shoulder. He left the argument t.
the timekeeper, who declared that th'
basket counted. Later II was decide,
to settle the matter at a conference
of officials.
Best Of the Season.
Above and beyond all the game wa
the fastest seen this season on tn,
South floor. One thing marred tn
smooth work Of each FIVE Ray VII
son, 1.-THE forward, who had entere,
the game suffering from a fever, col
lapsed soon after the opening of tn
second half and had to be remove,
from the play. Patton sent in Jacl
Oswald to take his place.

Civilians far from the seat of war
wondered why the allies did not deliver
their smashing blows at the kaiser at

tunity to shift his troops from one
front TO another, instead of taking
turns in hitting him. That is Just what
they did last week, for British, French
and Italians all began offenslves that
developed into the most furious bat
ties of the war so far. The Anglo
French forces near the Belgian coast
vigorously renewed the attacks begun
the previous week and pushed forward.
The British hurled themselves against
the defenses Of Lens and forced their
way further into the outskirts Of that
coal center, repulsing all COunter-at-
lacks. General Petain'S men attacked
along the Chemin des Danes, and then
delivered series of smashes at the
Germans in the Verdun sector, taking
the twin SUBMITS Of Dead Mans hill
and other strong positions that the
crown prince had held for year and
more. In AlsaCe there was lively fight

WHAT THE AGENT cosr.

R. R. Gibson, a farmer and mem
Der Of the agricultural council o!
Lane County, Oregon, was telling
recently what the county agent
had cost him and what he had
gotten out of his services:
81 pay about $3.50 taxes. and
figure that the county agent last
year cost me just nineteen and
one-half cents In figuring the
benefits that I have received from
the office, I gave the agent credit
for the extra profit that I made
on the first beef that | sold
through the public market. He
was responsible for starting the
market, so I gave him credit on
just one Of the animals that |
sold.
s'My sheep were dying, and
Mr.. Robb came out and found that
they had septicemia, and got me
some vaccine and vaccinated the
flock.
"No more Of them died and so !
gave Mr.. Robb credit for Just one
sheep, although I might have lost
the whole bunch without his help.
He told me to take my goats
out Of the swampy pasture or they
would probably get leeches. They
were nice and fat and didn t
think it would hurt them if left
them there; but the got the
aeeches, all right, and some of|
them died. I didn't give Mr..
Robb any credit for that, although
his advice was worth something. |
"He told me how to avoid WIRE
worms in my corn by growing it
after crop on which the wire
worms don't work. / didn t give
him credit for that. In all my

credit as T possibly could, and

money on this basis to pay my

MAKE TOMATO SAUCE WHEN
CANS ARE SCARCE.

Since tomatoes contain a very
high percentage of water, it is of
ten desirable to can only concen
trated tomato products. This il
true especially when cans or Yrs
are difficult to obtain. A Geliciou,
concentrated tomato sauce may
be made and canned as follows
says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Small OF
broken tomatoes and large toma-
toes unsuitable for canning whole,
may be used in this recipe.
Cut the tomatoes into fairly
small pieces and add one large
sized onion chopped and one cup
chopped sweet red pepper to one
gallon of tomatoes. Cook until
tender. Put through a sieve and
add mixture Of 1-3 salt and Is
sugar in a proportion Of one tea
spoonful to each quart of the mix
ture. Cook until it has the con-
sistency Of ketchup. stirring con-
stantly. Pack hot into sterilized
jars or bottles. Adjust rubber
and cap, place the containers on
false bottom in a vessel Of water
sufficiently deep to reach almost
to their tops and allow them to
remain at boiling temperature
For 25 minutes, Then remove the
jars from the water and tighten
the lids immediately. S. u.

One Of the causes of the failure
of local enterprise is the failure
on the part of many people to
comprehend that whatever Injuries
any business in a community re-
fleets injuries upon the people Of
that community. Home enter
prises should be loyalty support
ed by home people. 1t is too Oft
en- the case that a business that is
of incaluculable benefit for L.
cality is hampered or ruined,
through jealousies. Some people
are so constituted that they can
not endure to see an acquaintance
fairly prosperous, while they are
perfectly wiling to contribute to
the prosperity Of stranger. The
person who makes his money here
and spends it elsewhere need not
be surprised to find that others
initiate his example, and that in
the course Of events, crashes re-
suit, which throws him out Of en-
ployment or entail severe losses in
other ways. Loyalty to home and
home interests is essential to the
prosperity Of any community

Some men have greatness thrust
upon them when seemingly unex-
pected. The man who is seldom
known in community or state,
wakes up some morning to discov-
er that he is in the lime light,
brought about by the cunning and
ingenuity of his friends. The
man who adheres to what be be-
1ieves is right, and is not led on
by coterie Of peanut politicians,
will win out in the long run. A
mans greatness should not be
measured by his fat bank account,
and in this day ad age. it seems
that you can have plenty of
friends and become popular, if
you have plenty of money. and
you are boosted accordingly.
However. the tide is turning, and
the day is not far distant, when
the upright and good man will be
honored, regardless Of his wealth.
The leading statesmen Of the Uni.
ted States are comparatively men
of moderate wealth, and have won
their fame by following out the
doctrine Of the golden rule. A
IMAM is man in our Judgment, no
matter whether he is worth ten
cents or a million. His goodness
and greatness should not be meas
nred by wealth when it comes to
holding public Office. and man
who is honored by being placed in
public Office. is in the true sense,
: servant Of the people. Progress
