B. H. S. WINS FROM GORHAM
IN FIRST GAME OF SEASON.
In The Opening Game of The Sea-
son B. H. S. Met A Husky Bunch
But Won By Score of 20 to 13.

Last Friday night, B. H. S. and
Gorham Independents matched their
skill in playing basketball. 1t was
an exciting game but, as always,
the High School was ahead when
the final whistle blew. The game
was fast and B. H. S. had to hustle
to beat their opponents, but they
were capable of it and won out
with a good lead.
Stevens proved to be the fast
man, as he got IL points from the
floor and points from free throws,
although Rooney, Marsh, King and
Roby had hand in the affair.
The score at the end of the first
period was IS to in the High
Schools favor. The final score
was 20 to 13.
The attendance was 153, and to-
tai amount taken in was 1925,
which was a good sum, although the
B. A. A. wishes to have more next
time.

Kenneth Hoyt Heard From

Anxiety over the safety of
Kenneth Hoyt of the U. S. S.
Garcia, was somewhat dispelled
when a letter from him dated
"Some mewhere off the coast of
France, July A." was received
here by his mother, Mrs. H. H.
Hawes, last Sunday. He stated
he was we'll and getting along
fine. AS this letter was written
four days after the date stamped
on the letter returned to writer
marked deceased" and received
here last week, it would seem that
a mistake had been made in
returning the letter or that there
is an enemy" in the mail service
who returns letters in order to
distress relatives of American
soldiers and sailors. The matter
has been referred to the secretary
of the navy for investigation.

Cane Poisoned Cows

Lloyd Balloon had three valuable
milk COWS die Monday from eat
ing a few stocks of cane. Last fall
he sowed rye where he harvested
cane. After cutting the rye this
summer some volunteer cane
came up and since the rain grew
rapidly and was about three feet
high. He was blowing the field
Monday when his cows came from
the pasture to near where he was
and began eating the cane. In
a few minutes he noticed one of
the cows to stagger and then fall.
He hitched his team and went to
her but she could not get up. In
rapid succession three more did
the same thing. He called a
veterinary but three died within a
short time, the veterinary saving
the other one. The cause of the
animals death is said to be a very
rank poison, ten drops Of which
is fatal, prevalent on cane stocks
mostly in dry seasons. Other
farmers having fields of this kind
should be cautious about letting
their stock to them as the poison
may be general this year.
