Y. NJ. C. A. WIN FROM BERLIN
The v. M. c. A. Basketball Team
Defeated Berlin Mills Team
Saturday Night by a Score of
1921,

In the fastest and roughest game
of the season the Y. M. C. A. defeated
Berlin Mills Saturday night by
score of 80 to 27. There was not
dull moment in the whole game.
Evidently no one regarded his op-
ponent's feelings as of much account.
The score was so close throughout
that neither side could be sure of
victory. At the end of the first half
it was 1913 in favor of Berlin. In
the first of the last half they in
creased their lead until Stevens took
things into his own hands and shot
seven baskets, winning the game for
Island Pond. The only casualties
were q broken window, a bloody
hand and shattered electric light
globe. Evidently the Berlin boys
thought they had a picnic and only
had to play an exhibition game, but
got up against the real article and
with all their science and rough-house
were not able to land ahead in the
final. Taken altogether, the game
was a fitting climax for the season.
The lineup was as follows:

List Next Week

The County Fair at McCrory this week showed a great inn provement over that of last year. The exhibits were more numer- ous and a better selection of ar ticles in all departments were to be seen.
 Large crowds attended each day and it has already been an- nounced that another fair will be held next year, the first step toward same being an appropri- ation Wednesday by the Quorum Court of $10O.OO.
 A complete list of the prize winners will be published next week in the Home News and other items of interest concern ing the fair this year and next will be mentioned.
 Everyone who saw the fine display of the great resources of Woodruff County were surprised and expressed themselves as be- ing highly pleased with same. The only fault one could find was that Cotton Plant, Hunter, lille mann and other places in the county failed to take the part in the exhibits that they were ex- pected to and which we hope they will do next year.

be filled by younger men, and this should be made the permanent policy of the country"
 Billie's mother, Mrs. Graham, had overheard the conversation. She came out and said: "Really, Brother Dan, are you serious as to the dangers of our country? If it is as bad as that, 1t is high time for us to wake up and do something about it."
 Exactly" replied Uncle Dan. "Tt is better to wake up now than to be rudely awakened later. We may as we'll understand, sister, that this is our war and we must win it or God help America. Everything that we have or hope to have-our liberties, our blessings, our opportunities are all in- volved in the great issue before us. Nothing must stand between us and winning this war. It is a question whether the peoples right or the kali sers might shall dominate the world. If there ever was holy war, this is it. We are fighting for world liberty. We are fighting for the freedom of humanity. We are fighting for the right of men to govern themselves in- stead of being governed against their will by war-mad overlord. Perilous times are ahead of us. We must be prepared to make any sacrifice, to per- form any service that may be required of us."
 ooh, Uncle Dan," exclaimed Billie, may I bring my chum, Jimmie Coll lins, when we have our next talk? He is bug on this war business and just crazy to see you"
 Certainly" said Uncle Dan, with hearty laugh. 'If we are to have more talks, shall be glad to have Jimmie join us.'
 Billie clapped his hands and ran to the phone and told Jimmie to be over lat seven o'clock the next evening.
