Southern Wholesale Grocer:
Challenge Statement of
Packers

The following open letter under
date, of September 9Th was addressed
to Senator AISLE Gronna, Senate
committee or Agriculture aaM Fores-
try
The American Institute Of Meat
Packers recently spread; broadcast to
THE press through the powerful pub
icity bureau which it is maintaining
IN Washington. a statement to the eT-
feet that out of ninety witnesses who
had up to that time appeared before
the Senate Committee on Agriculture.
SS were opposed to the Kenyon and
Kendrick bills, and two appeared in
favor of some such legislation as sug-
gested in those measures.
The Southern Wholesale Grocers
Association, with a membership OF
nearly two thousand, and representing
thirty States, cannot let this state
ment pass without reply.
we are replying III an open letter
to you and your committee since the
five big packers chose the method
used by them TO put out their state
ment through their dominated meat
institute
OF the Lightweight witnesses who
have. testified against the Kenyon and
Kendrick bills there are three chief
classes: C3 the paid employee Of
the big packers, (2) the packer sub
sidized witnesses, and CD the witness
es who are afraid Of the big pack
ers Of the eighty-eight witnesses
against the Kenyon and Kendrick bills
a majority have come here to testi-
fy at the expense Of the>fIve big
packers, so I am informed.
In this connection, and to prevent
injustice, 1 would suggest that the
committee call Mr.. Brooks of Swift &
Co, put him under oath. and ask him
how much money the five big pack
ers have spent or have become obll-
gated to pay, to date in railroad
fares. hotel bills, ETC.. for any of the
devoted Lightweight witnesses.
The Southern Wholesale Grocers'
Association realizes that there is a
fight on for the life Of competitive
business as against monopolistic con-
troll. but it realizes that, if any indie
pendent interest starts out to spend
even one twenty-ifth Of the many
millions that the big packers are
spending in propaganda, this expen-
dit,1re will ultimately be saddled on
the consumer.

Fountain City Team Shows
Material fol Championship

Fountain City will play New Lisbon
at Fountain City tomorrow night.
These teams are evenly matched,
and fast, we'll played game is ex-
pected. Each team has won from the
other by the same score and this
game will decide the better team.
The Fountain City team bids fair
to give Richmond a hard fight in the
district tournament here on March z
and 8. Last year in the local district
tourney Fountain City upset the dope
bucket by defeating the fast Liberty
quintette in the second round. The
Fountain team was defeated in the
semi-fnals however, by the Richmond
team.
1t is hoped that Richmond will have
a chance to play Fountain City in the
last game of the tournament, as this
will probably be one of the fastest
games of the tourney.
The complete Fountain City sched-
ule follows:
Feb. S-New Lisbon at Fountain
City.
Feb. 12-Farmland at Fountain City,
Feb. 14-Farmland at Farmland.
Feb. 19-Mooreland at Fountain City.

CONNERSvILLE GAME
EXPECTED TO Be
EASY FOR LOCALS

Only 125 persons will be allowed
to see the basketball game at Con-
nercville tonight when Richmond
plays the Connersville high school in
the drst game between these two
teams this season.
The reason for the limit is because
the town is just getting over an in
fluenza epidemic, and the authorities
are taking no chances. The first game
OF the Richmond schedule was to have
been with Connersville here on No
vember %, but was called of because
of the epidemic.
Richmond, it is believed, will have
no trouble to win, as Connersville has
not made much of a showing this sea-
son.
Ernie" Porter, who has just re-
tuprned to school may get into the
game tonight. Van Allen, Stegman,
Dollins, Eversman and Price will
make the trip as regulars.
No enthusiasm is shown in Corners
vile tonight. Many games away from
|, the Coliseum this season have beer
lost by the local team because there
were no hackers to urge them on.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. Basket
ball Is the premier high school sport
In Indiana. There is practically no
football, little track and less baseball.
But there is scarcely a high school!
In the state, whether it be situated
in a. city, town, hamlet or crossroads,
thatsis not represented by a basket
ball squad in which the entire popu-
lace in the community in which it
plays is not interested.
With the sectional tournament, to
be held in twenty Indiana cities. loom
ing UP little more than month of,
the enthusiasm of the basketball fans
is running rampant, and it is predict
ed that this will be banner year in
the annals Of the great high school
sport.
Twenty Districts.
March and 8, 275 basketball teams
will play at Anderson, Bedford, Hunt
lngton, Columbus, Charlottesville, In

lowing week the twenty sectional
champs will compete in the ninth an
nual tournament, which will be held
at Purdue University, Lafayette, to
decide the champion high school bas-
ketball team in Indiana, which is
great honor since high school basket
ball in Indiana compares favOrably
with the brand of basketball played
by the high school quintets in any
state in the union.
While the coaches and players of
the teams in every section of the state
are hard at work conditioning so as
TO make the best possible showing at

best state tournament in the history
Of the classic.
