Defamation Contest

The auditorium of the Congrega-
tional church was filled last Friday
evening on the occasion of the high
school defamation contest. The pro-
gram opened with two excellent violin
duets by the Misses Velma and Selma
Little. Then followed a series of four
declamations by Abby White, Robert
Armstrong, Lucille Parney, and Alice
Wittenbach. Miss Raynor sang in
very pleasing manner, "The American
Hymn" and Zone Land United" An
other group of four declarations was
given by Gayla Penton, Aileen Arm
strong, Alfredo Wells, and Ruth AL
berts. An organ solo by Miss Ellen
Blair provided another feature which
was enjoyed by all. The speaking
was continued by James Johnson, Al
vim Storey and Gladys Burns. While
the judges were preparing their
grades the High School Girls Glee
club sang several patriotic songs
among which was "Tipperary," with
speaking part carried very creditably
by Miss Lois Smith.
The decision of the judges of the
contest is as follows: First place,
Robert Armstrong, with the dsclama-
ton entitled "Why Are We Fighting
Germany" by Franklin X. Lane;
second, Aileen Armstrong with the
France and the New Com
by Paul Deschonel; and
third, Abby White, with Henry Ward
"The Death Of Lincoln"
Robt. Armstrong therefore will rep
resent the Bedding High school at the
contest.
Everyone did so well that all de-
serve favorable mention. At the close
of the contest words of commentator
were heard on all sides. 1t is to be
hoped that the defamation contest
may become on annual event, and that
these young people may continue to
develop ability in public speaking.
The undersigned regrets that az mis-
take was made in announcing the win
ners Friday night. The above is the
correct report of the Judges.

Bird also struck out nine to Cheng'

outs came at a time when hit would
have meant run. Morgan City's
runs were manufactured in this man
ner:
In the fourth j. Lowman walked and
advanced to second on wild pitch.
Mazerol got life on Curren's tumble
of his first grounder and, to make
his error man sized one, Curren pro-
ceeded to heave the pill over Tudery's S
six-foot form. In the mixup I.oman
scored, Mazerol speeded to third and
scored on Baehor's long sacrifice fly
to right.
In the fifth they garnered four
more thusly: For starter Vega
walked. Bird attempted a sacrifice
that was fielded slowly and all hands
were safe. Dyer scratched an infield
hit, Vega tallying. Tudery spilled j.

roller. All done on one hit.

rought Smith in. Curren also stole

suited in forcing Curren out at the

In the eighth all the damage was
done after two were down. Then fol-
lowed hits by Allshire, Smith and
Brown in quick succession, Allshire
and Smith scoring.

The Sunday fracas started inno-
Gently enough, Morgan City scoring 2
in. the second to the visitors 0. But
the burlesque show commenced pre-
cisely with the third inning, when
four runs were pushed across by the
visitors and the show continued mer-
rily on its way until the curtain fell
in the fundamentally bringing the
nightmare to close. It seemed that
no one had any regard for Charlie
Lowman's feelings The visiting ship
builders pounded him all over the lot,
inning after inning, and his team
mates took no measures to rescue
him from his perilous position until
fter six juicy runs were made in
ie seventh, when Dyer went in to
stem the tide, which he did after two
more taliies came in. Two more were
made in the eighth and the agony was
ended with q scoreless ninth.
It would take a large-sized volume

itors in this memorable game. It
won't take long to tell about the Nor.
gan City doings, as far as score-mak-
ing is concerned. It was all accom-
Slished in the second, except Dupuy's
seventh inning homer. Baehor singled
and Dupuy got on when his grounder
was thrown by Ross to Pelham to
catch Baehor. Pelham fumbled it,
Baehor going to third and Dupuy to
second. Ribiski should have been an
easy out, but Frenz picked up his
roller and proceeded to heave it over

ing into the counting station. Just
before Gallery famed, Ribiski was
caught off third by throw from
Catcher Smith. Vegas two-baser
came to naught, as C.. Lowman was
an easy out, Smith to Cheng.
The seventh inning will live long
in the memory Of Morgan City fans.
In this frame enough was done to
constitute all the ingredients of an
ordinary game. Here they are, as far
as could be recorded without the aid
Of an adding machine: Five singles,
2 two-baggers, 1 triple, / homer and
one walk. All of which netted runs
for the Miissssippians. The homer
represents Morgan Citys participa-
tion in the conglomeration, Dupuy
being the party responsible. All Of
the visitors batted in this frame, three
of them going to the plate twice. All
of them scored during this mixup, ex-
cept Frenz. Somewhere during the
melee Dyer relieved poor; long-suf-
fering C. Lowman, and he stopped the
fun (for MississippD after two more
were showed across.
Two more were coined in the
eighth, but by the time the ninth
came around the visitors were so worn
out with their constant foot-racing on
the paths that they quickly put an end
to the excessive toll of the afternoon
by going out in order.

| Virtually every feature Of the Sum
| day Tribune is now devoted to help
full and inspirational service in con-
nection with our war activities. The
rotogravure section is filled with pic
lures of soldiers and sailors of our
own and allied countries. Most Of
the departments of the woman's sec.
ton are devoted exclusively to war
work, such as Red Cross activities,
economy and conservation in cooking,
etc. In fact, the preponderance Of
ar-work subjects in the Sunday Trf
bune is even greater than in the Daily
Tribune II
In spite of strict office regulations,
against the waste of print paper, and
in spite of rigid economies in its use,
it is no longer reasonable to continue
to sell the Sunday Tribune at the pres
ent prices. =
Effective with this issue, therefore,
the price of the Sunday Tribune in
hicago and suburbs will be seven
cents and the price elsewhere will be
ten cents.
An Example
Worth Following.
This is an example that ought to
be followed by every newspaper in
America, big or little, that has not al
ready increased its subscription rates
so as to cover the increase in cost of
production.
The publishers of the Tribune
know the paper was worth five cents
to its readers before the increase in
the cost of production; they know
that the people who buy it do so be-
cause they want it; they know the
people want it enough to pay what
it is worth, and and they know the
cost of production has very nearly
doubled.
What is true of the Chicago Tri-
bune is true Of every other news
paper of consequence in this contry,
and it is quite as true Of the country
daily and the country weekly news
paper as Of the metropolitan news
paper.
The country newspaper is of just
as much consequence as the Chicago
Tribune to it's readers. If it is a
news paper that is representative Of
the community in which it is pub
lished the people of the community
want it. They pay $1.00 or $3.50 .
year for it because they want it, and
they will pay $500 year or more
for it because they want it.

What Is True OF A Chicago

The Country Daily, Says
A Writer

The following announcement APP
peared on the front page of the Chi
cago Sunday Tribune of June 16:
In May of 1917 the price of the
Daily Tribune was increased from
one cent to two cents, and the price
of the Sunday Tribune outside of the
city was increased to cents. No
change was made in the city price of
five cents, for the Sunday Tribune.
Since that time the manufacturing
cost of print paper has continued to
increase, as has the cost of nearly
every other element in the manu-
,facture of newspapers.
Now newspaper publishers are con-
fronted with heavy increases in trans
portation charges, still further in
creases in the cost of print paper, and
a continuation Of advance in the cost
of other raw materials.
At the same time the publication
and circulation of war news of the
participation of our own forces and
of the cooperation desired of the
people by our government is more
than ever duty and a privilege.
More than so per cent of the news
now published in the Tribune has to
do with the war.
