Some Game Friday.
Something good in the basket ball
line is In store for the fans on Friday
evening of this week, when the WILL
mar and Luther College quints meet
at the Seminary gym. The game will
be called at eight O'Clock, and the
price of admission will be rs cents
for everyone.
II. S. Girls Lose.
The Litchfleld girls kept up their
remarkable record by winning their
game In easy fashion. The score was
"a to 6. The particular outstanding
feature of the game, with the excep-
ton of the remarkable shooting Of
Capitola Youngstown of the winners,
was that not a foul was called on eth
er team during the game. It was the
fastest girls game seen here since the
! Olden times.
City Team Wins.
With the exception of short time
early in the first half, when the Wis.
itors threw a scare into the Willmar
bunch, the city team had little diff
Guilty in winning from Watson, Mon:
day evening by score of Ga to 20. The
middle of the first half saw the teams
battling on even terms, at twelve all
But from then until the end of the
period, Willmar did all the scoring
and covered so closely the Watson
bunch failed to tally again. The hall
ended with the count "a to II.
Watson came back stronger in the
second half, due to some good shoot
ing by Arthur Canton and Joe liver
son. These two players were the btll
wark of the visitors, both on offense
and defense. One encouraging thing
about the play of the Willmar team
was the manner in which each of the
five players shot baskets. Hereto
fore Buck and Bob Johnson have not
attempted many shots, but Monday

Il. S. Boys Con.

One of the largest crowds that ever
attended a basket ball game at the
high school gym. saw the Willmar
boys win from Litchfield last Friday
evening, after a struggle that was
marked by the closest guarding i'm
aginable. Never did more than three
points separate the teams, until the
last part of the game, when foul bas-
Ret gave the locals lead of four,
which they maintained until the fin
ish. AS an exhibition of classy basket
ball, the game was not huge sue
cess, but as an exhibition of gameness
and stick-to-itiveness, on the part of
both teams, it was in a class by itself
When one considers that Erickson
was still out of the game, that Mel on
was in no condition to play hard
grueling game, and that Osmundson
wrenched his elbow during the course
of the contest, the fact that Willmar
won is all the more pleasing. Litch-
field scored after the first tip off, in
less time than it takes to tell it. A.
ter which they were helpless until the
last half. Not until along about the
middle Of the second period, did they
again score from the field. With the
visitors leading 2 to 0, Mint Lund-
quist put his t am on even terms with
a pretty field basket A few moments
later he added point on foul throw.
After missing two free throws, Krueg-
err tied the score with another one.
Another foul on Litchfield gave Lund-
quist his second chance to put the
team in the lead, which he did. Be-
fore time was called, Frye Gagged a
pretty basket from the field, giving
Willmar a lead of 6 to 3 for the first
half.
The second half opened with both
teams still fighting desperately on the
defense. A foul called on Willmar,
gave Kruger chance to bring his
team a point closer After several
moments of hard play another foul
was called on Willmar and Kruger
converted this into another point.
About the middle Of the hail. Miller
put his team one point in the lead,
with a field basket. Edmond Nelson
then contributed the most sensation
al shot of the evening, when he re.
.cefved a pass on the dead run, and
dropped it through the hoop from
near the middle Of the floor. A few
moments later he scored on a foul,
and the other two points were gar
nered by Osmundson, when he slipped
| one thru the net from under the bas-
ket: Kruger and Lundquist were
both off form in their foul shooting
during the last half. Both missed
four shots.
The defensive game put up by Will
mar has seldom been equalled on a 10.
cal floor. Playing the three man com.
b1natfons they broke up the visitors
team work practically every time. No
one man deserves special commenda-
tion for his good work, for they all
played superbly, under very trying
conditions. The fine work of Earl
Frye, subbing for Walt Erickson, was
one Of the outstanding features Of the
evening. He gave his 1913 pound op'
ponent little more than he was look
ing for, and scored field basket, in

FOOD PRODUCTION IN ESCAMBIA
FEELING THE SPUR OF The TIMES
HOG RAISING GETS
BOOST ON VISIT
OF EXPERT

Work in the farm demonstration in
Escambia county received a great
impetus during the past week by the
visit to Escambia county of DR.. A. H.
Logan, of the bureau of animal in
dustry. DR.. Logan remained here
three days, holding meetings at Ferry
Pass, Gonzalez, Cottage Hill, Moline
and Muscogee.
At Muscogee he found a typical
case of hog cholera, and he stressed
the Importance of preventive meas
ures for the disease, as it cannot be
cured, once it has started its raw
ages. By the veto of the governor
to the bill making appropriation for
free hog cholera serum, the progress
of the work receives a slight hanGi-
cap, but with the cooperation of the
individual hog raiser, good results
can be obtained.
As preventive measures, DR.. Lo-
gan stressed the following points:
Provide a system of pastures, and
not allow the hogs to roam at large.
Keep the pens sanitary. Keep hogs
in healthy condition.
For the purpose of keeping the
hogs in good condition, DR.. Logan
recommended the following prepa-
ration, which can be made without
great trouble or expense:
Half bushel of charcoal, five pounds
of hardwood ashes, one pound of cop
peras, two pounds of salt, two pounds
of air-slaked lime. Mix thoroughly,
and keep in box in convenient place
where hogs can eat at liberty.
Hog wallows should be placed in
each pasture, to keep the herd free
from vermin. They can be built at
very little cost, and should be eigh-
TEN feet square for a herd of one
hundred.
A swine breeding association for
Escambia county was grealy urged
by DR.. Logan, who encouraged the
hog raisers to organize, select one
breed which would be developed, and
to provide for cooperative ship
melts.

POTATOES TO

BIG SCALE

Interest in the fall crop was shown
at a meeting of farmers of Escambia
county Friday night held in the Con
zalez Agricultural High School. They
are planning to produce a crop which
will bring good returns, and expect to
plant much larger acreage in Irish
potatoes this year than in the past.
Several present pledged themselves
to assist in growing sufficient acre
age for next year. In order to COM
plete organization and to decide def
nitely on plans to be pursued, an
other meeting will be held next Fri
day night in the same place.

Fulford urges other farmers in the
county to follow the plan adopted at
the meeting. "This is the time to do
something" Mr.. Fulford said to The
Journal yesterday. eve have got

Plans Discussed at Meeting
of Cattle Association
Committee.
STOCK RAISING
MUST BE PUSHED
T rip Through Alabama,
Georgia, and Florida to
Study Farm Methods.

The proposed cold storage and
packing plant for Pensacola was dis
cussed in detail at the meeting of the
special committee of the West Flor
ida Cattle Raisers' Association held
yesterday at the San Carlos hotel.
John W. Greer, secretary and treas
urer of the Brooks Engineering Com
pany, of Moultrie, Ga, outlined the
possibilities of a plant in this city.
his company has erected fifteen pack
ing plants in the South and Mr.. Greer
stated that greatly improved condi-
tons have resulted from their opera
ton. He predicted that within ten
years West Florida would be the
greatest stock producing section of
the country and that live stock would
bring great wealth to the entire Gulf
Coast country.
J. B. Mcneil read q letter from w.
Z. Nereen, president of the Moultrie
packing plant, which stated clearly
and concisely the difficulties over
come by that plant before it was full
by established as a commercial sue
cess, and the danger of failure I'M
less sufficient cattle and hogs are
available to make the undertaking a
success.
P, H. Brock advocated cold storage
facilities for vegetables and other
farm products in connection with the
packing plant and this plan was con-
sidered at length. The committee de-
clded that as the handling of vegeta-
bles would, be a local proposition, it
would not come within the scope of
the cattle raisers' work and it was
decided to handle the two matters
separately.
The packing house committee, con-
sisting of S. A Afford. L. W. Hardy,
c. Fl. Munson and J. H. Malone will
visit all of the packing plants in this
section within the next thirty days
and make report at tine next meet
ing Of the association. The commit
tee will also consider financial plans
for the operation of the plant.
Owing to unsettled general condi-
tons it was decided not to conduct
proposed Cattlemen's excursion to St
Louis and other points as originally
planned, but instead to make a short
educational trip through southern
Alabama, southern Georgia and por-
lions of West Florida where progress
sive development work is in prog
ress. Tentative plans include stops

Heavy attacks by the Germans are

with the Sighting at times assuming

No substantial successes have at
tended the Crown Princes efforts.
The latest bulletins from the front
indeed indicate that the fighting IS

French, whose artillery is proving
that it has lost none of its effective

KILLING GIRL
SUSPECTED ITALIAN BROKE
DOWN UNDER EXAMINATION
AND ADMITTED MURDER OF
RUTH CRUGER OF NEW YORK.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Bologna, Italy, June 23.-Alfredo
CoCchi, the fugitive New York motor
cycle dealer, abandoned today his pre-
tense of innocence of the murder of
Ruth Cruger, and confessed his
guilt. Jealousy was his motive. He
was unable, he declared, to win her
=, -e,'l<'- 1870 curious when she--.s-
buried his persistent attentions.
The admissions of the young ItaI-
ian were made in tears after search
ing Interrogation by Judge Zucceni
broke down Cocchi's reserve. Prior to
this examination, Cocchi had coollv
and insistently maintained he had
known Miss Cruger only two days be-
fore her disappearance in February,
when she went to his shop to have her
skates sharpened and had declared his
conduct toward her was entirely cor
rect.
Under Judge Zucconi's searching
questions today, however, Cocchi fl
nally burst into tears. He became so
agltated as his confession fell halt
ingly from his lips that the persons
surrounding him believed he was
about to have an epileptic fit.
He was granted time to recover and
then resumed the story of how the 49,
year-Old Wadleigh high school gradu
ate met death at his hands in the
building where her body was recently
from the cellar.
HAPPY AFTER COMPOSING
After making up his mind to tell
the truth Cocchi talked freely and
without reserve, gave full details of
his crime, including the burial of Miss
Cruger's body.
After the confession was completed
the judge directed the clerk to read
to CoCchi the written report of his
deposition. The prisoner said it was
correct and later signed it.
On returning to his cell Cocchi said
to the prison attendants:
"At last I feel relieved, have
freed myself from a nightmare which
my conscience. Now I have
told everything and l am ready to
suffer any penalty"
Judge ZuCConi questioned an Am !
erlcan woman, q relative of Miss .
Cruger, who came here for the pur- /
pose of giving testimony concerning
The motive for the crime and the cir /
under which it was COM /
nltted. The name and address of this
woman have not been ascertafned. !
Previous to his examination Coccbi
had been reported to be growing very |
restless in the close confinement IN
Ter which he was held by the italian I.
authorities. He declared that he was T
Il with fever and asked to be sent
% hospital. The prison doctor could
ind no symptoms of sickness and his
request was refused.
Since his arrest Cocchi has shown
great interest in what the newspapers
'aid about him and begged to be al
owed to read the papers. This also
vas refused as against the prison
'ules.
