BLAME HIGH MEAT PRICES
ON THE PUBLIC

Indianapolis, July Retail Meat
dealers of Indianapolis who are al
legged to be maintaining certain prices
they demanded before the price of
beef cattle dropped at the local stock
yards, have answered the charges,
declaring that it is the public's fault.
They say the demand by the public
is for porterhouse and other expen-
sive cuts. They say the price on
these should be. increased in order to
force more general buying of the less
cuts. Porterhouse is now
being sold by some dealers at Csc
a pound. Round and sirloin steaks
retail at from S5 to 45 cents pound.
Th fice on boiling beef and ordi-
naryt 5asts, it is said, has been re-
duceke. <The cheapest cuts are sold

SOLDIER BROTHERS MEET
IN TAYLOR HOSPITAL

A ward in the base hospital In
Camp Zachary Taylor was the scene
of the reunion recently of two Ken
lucky brothers who had been separ-
ated in battle.
Before the war Ernest A. Good
and William r. Good "batched it" in
a little farm house near Nevada, KY.
When the call came they both went
together, privates, in Company C.
168th Infantry, 42nd Division.
Time and again they went over the
top together, and on the Chateau
Thierry front were in almost contin-
uous action for nine days at stretch
and at one time they went for seven
ty-two hours on half pound Of corn
beef.
During an advance just year ago
Williams arm was shattered with a
fragment of shell. "Go on back to a
first aid station" Ernest called to
him, and the two brothers separated
as Ernest continued in the attack.
From Chateau Thierry Ernest went
to st. Mihiel, where he took part in
the big drive. From there he went
to Verdun. In October he was gass-
ed during an advance, and was taken
to a hospital. During his shifting
from one place to another he had
never heard whether or not his broth
er had recovered from the wound he
received at Chateau Thierry.
During his convalesence from the
gas attack, Ernest was given an oper-
alton for appendicitis, and was nov
ed to Camp Zachary Taylor He was
placed in bed in Ward C. AS he
settled himself in his new bunk" he
rolled over and looked down the
row of white cots. There in bed Is
which is supposed to be unlucky, he
saw his Brother Bill" from whom
he had been separate since the
ordeal in bloody orchard in France.
The two brothers have just been
and the farm house near
which neighbors have watch
ed during their absence, is ready for
the "bunkies" to begin "batchin' it'
again.-Courier-Journal.

DEFEAT
PADU|CAH
HOpkinsviIIe Independent Team Beat
Fast Padueah Team t2izh
Hard Fought Game.

| Sunday afternoon the Hopkins
vile Independent Baseball Team ad.
ded another victory to its already
long list, by defeating the /. C. Tig
ers at Paducah in their own lair by
the score of 8 to 2. The Tigers
claimed to have the best independent
team in Kentucky for they had de-
feated the best teams they could in
duce to come to Paducah and had
won eleven straight victories before
the locals stopped them.
With "Big Jack" Long who will be
remembered as the star pitcher for
the Asylum team several years ago,
on the hill, Hoptown held Paducah
in check all the way. "Big Jack" has
just returned from the army and was
in fine shape.
The old Kitty league stand at Pa
ducah was crowded to its full capa-
city. The bleachers had its full quo
ia of fans who took great pleasure
in trying to rag" Mike Kelly on first
base. The ladies got in free and
there was quite a crowd of them, too,
though they did not all root for Pa
ducah, Taken as whole the setting
was ideal for real ball game and
it was real ball game from begin
ming to end. The locals began in
the first inning. Means and Wadling
ton got on. They attempted dou-
BILE steal and when the Paducah catch
let the ball get away from him all
hands were safe. "Big Jack" then
won his own game by lining the ball
to the left field for two bases scor-
ing Means and Wadlington. In this
half of the first the Tigers filed the
bases with nobody out and Long
proceeded to fan three men. In all
he struck out fifteen. He was the
heavy hitter of the day, for his sec
ond double drove in the winning run
in the fourth inning. Kelly at first
base for HOptown was the fielding
star of the day, making two seeming
ly impossible barehanded stops of
hard hit ground balls. He also hit
the ball on the nose every time up.
The feature of the game was the
pep" displayed by both teams. Ev-
erybody was out there fighting to win
and it was anybody's game until
Long struck out the last man in the
ninth.
BY winning this game the local
team rose several notches in the rank
of ameteur teams in West Kentucky
and large crowd should be on hand
TO pull for them the next time they
have a game on the home lot.
