EARLE DEFEATS NILS.
IN A CLOSE GAME

An unusually hard fought game
of football was played last Friday
between teams of the Earle high
and the M.H.S. The teams were
very evenly matched and the out
come of the game was in doubt un-
til the last whistle had blown.
; The Earle boys had US outweigh
ed and that was the reason for the
defeat. Their extra weight was
offset somewhat by the fast work
of the MHS. backs and the better
playing of the whole team. At diff
ferent times our men threatened the
goal of the Earle boys, and at one
time had the ball all but over the
goal line. After Earle secured their
touchdown, the M.H.S. goal was
never in danger. 1t was one of the
hardest fought games of the season,
and even the coach Of the Earle
team remarked, at might have well
have been Marianna's game as
Earle's."
The playing of Panich in left half
was the feature of the game. His
long runs and putting was the saw
ing of the NILS. team on several
occasions. The playing of Woodall
at full and Hoyle at quarter also
showed up well. The playing of SUIT
terfield at quarter for Earle was
their best. The M.H.S. boys feel
like they have jinx following
them and they are going to try and
find it in the game with Clarendon

Earle or Forrest City. Either enc
of these teams should prove q great
game, as the home boys have been
outlucked in games with both. They

BETTER RATES
SOUTH DAKOTA In LINE FOR
CHEAPER OIL.

Sioux City, June 24.-As Sioux
City, Sioux Falls, S. D., and Pipe
stone, Mimi, are the three points
from which the South Dakota oil
supply is forwarded on a local freight
basis, these centers are interested in
the lower freight rate on the products
of the mid-continent oil fields that
has been allowed by the interstate
commerce commission.
A 25 per cent reduction has been
ordered. For a year or more q num-
Der of South Dakota cities have been
battling for the concession finally
granted. While the ease against the
C%odington County Oil company was
originally started in WATERFOWL, al
most every South Dakota town had
become an interviewer before the COM
plant was heard by the interstate
commerce commission. Practically
the entire mid-continent district was
made defendant in the action.
According to the established COM
modify rate, which affects only those
points on a direct line between the
fields and Minneapolis and st. Paul.
South Dakota points, with the excep-
tion of Sioux Falls, We're compelled
to pay the commodity rate to the bas-
ing point and then the local rate
from the basing point to destination.
The interstate commerce commits
sion decision means hat the South
Dakota points will be granted a re-
duction of % per cen in the fifth
class, or local rate, between the bas-
ing point and the destination.
Information received in Sioux City
indicates that South Dakota point:
anticipate that gas, crude oil and gas
oline will be furnished cheaper &c
the ultimate South Dakota towns fol
cheaper gas.

MITCHELL LADIES REVIVE OLD

Mitchell, June 24.-One time

do anything of importance unless
they first held a banquet or love
feast" But since the days of th o
organization have passed, the love
feasts are few and far between.
But the women of Mitchell, who
have formed the Women Voters
league. have taken a leaf from the
old party political books and have de-
eided that in future they will have
monthly luncheons and endeavor to
interest the business women of the
city in the league and the ballot.

BALD HEADS At PEACE TABLE
Many Diplomats Had Whiskers and
Mustaches, but Lacked Hair
on Their Craniums.

An amusing sidelight on the recent
peace conference at Versailles is
thrown by correspondent, who not
only reported the proceedings proper,
but took notes regarding the hair,
mustaches, boards and whiskers of the
peacemakers.
Two-thirds of the delegates were
more or less bald. Perhaps some of
them made up for this by wearing
mustaches: Out of IS men who sat
round the peace table, all had mus
taches but II.
Whiskers, on the other hand, were
not popular. Only three people wore
them, and by a curious coincidence
the names of all these three people
began with V. They were Venizelos
of Greece, Vandervelde of Belgium
and Vassitch of Serbia. The latter's
whiskers were particularly prominent.
In regard to dress, there was less
formal attire than one might have
imagined. The English paid no special
attention to dress. High hats and frock-
coats, once combination that would
never have been sanctioned, were
quite popular; but there were some
countries which put all they knew into
their attire. These were, notably, the
Japanese, and some of the South
American states.
