Community of Black Cats.

"The Island of Black Cats" is a
name applied to Chatham island in the
Pacific ocean. 1t is overrun with black
cats; indeed, cats of no other color
are seen there. These animals live in
the crevices of the lava foundation
near the coast and subsist by catching
fish and crabs, instead of rats and
mice.

Beat High Cost of Machinery
Do you have any machinery
out in the weather?
Drop the work you had plan
ned for today and put it under
cover. This part of the equip
ment for farming costs more to-
day than ever before in history
This makes necessary greater
care if we will avoid excessive
cost. The machines which we
buy today are much more intri-
cate and complicated and thus
more damaged by weathering
than those of previous years.
One-eighth of the total invest
ment saved each year your ma
chinery is properly cared for, is
a very conservative estimate.
The added satisfaction and
saving in operating tight-ftting,
smooth-running m hinery
needs no argument for its proof,
No machine can stand out in the
weather and then operate effect
lively the following season.
Figure up what amachine shed
would be worth to you. Consult
your lumbern1an, county agent
or agricultural college on the de,
sign and cost Of a machine shed
Do it today, and your machin.
cry costs will come back to nor

PASSED TO VICTORY
In Annual Football Game Went

AL SiiS oAAAAuo.l PACP oNiiOOl 1OQLT
ball classis yesterday between
Wentworth Military Academy
and Kemper Military School of
Boonville, Kemper got sweet REL
venge for many former defeats
by defeating Wentworth by the
luscious score Of 40 to 0. Kem-
per entered the contest with the
best team in her history, while
Wentworth had to rely on a re-
duced percentage of her strength
on account of injuries. The
strength of the two teams was a
ffty-ffty proposition except in
the forward passing game. Kem-
per had this down almost to per-
fection, while Wentworth was
woefully weak. Both lines were
air tight. Neither side could rush
the ball and the first downs made
in this manner could be counted,
on the fingers of one hand with
the thumb missing.
Kemper was expected to be
fast, and she was; but her speed
had been provided for except in
forward passing. Her end runs
with only a few exceptions, were
smothered before they got into
motion, and her attempts IN
bucking the line were futile. But,
they held an ace in reserve
the forward pass--and the speed
of her ends and backs was US
ed to the limit and bore much
fruit. Coglizer at end, and Simms
at half, scintilated in .nabbing
the elusive sphere. Both were
fast and shifty, and could
grasp the ball from any position.
Time and time again these two
players received the pass for
long gains after everything else
they had had failed. A few line
plays or end runs would be at
tempted and fail, and then the
pass. Oh, that passl
i Wentworth's work was of high
order except in forward passing

that spilled the beans.

The first half ended with Kem-
per 26 points to the good. Dur
ing the intermission a Kemper
faculty officer informed the writ
er that Kemper hadn't pulled
their best stuff and that they
would show some real football
in the second half. But this par
ticular officer didn't know Went
worth, and as Kemper made only
Id points in the second half,
they must have saved the good
stuff" for next year. Wentworth
came back strong. They have
played their best football in the
second half all year, and it is
possible that this may be ac-
counted for in the fact that they
always start "cold." 1t has been
noticed that the visitors have a
good limbering up before the
game, while Wentworth's play
ers seldom do anything but run
a few signals before the game
starts.
The game was very capably
managed. 1t was clean through
out. A few penalties for off-side
were inflicted, but otherwise it
was clean and sportsmanlike.
The Kemper battalion arrived
about 1900 o'clock and was
met at the station by the Went
worth battalion and escorted up
town. The two battalions made a
fine appearance. There were a.
bout 800 cadet in line.
A large crowd was out to see
the game. There was probably
5000 people banked around the
field.

dets, and all friends of Went
worth may find much comfort
in the scores of previous games

WASHINGTON HOPES
FOR An EARLY PEACE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-With the red
armies reported almost at the gates Of
Warsaw, state department officials and
diplomats here today waited hopefully
for word from the armistice and peace
delegations at Minsk which would stop
the fighting between Poland and soviet
Russia.
Ofcials hoped that an agreement at
Minsk on armistice and peace terms
would save Warsaw from the boishevik
armies.
While there was skepticism here as to
the permanency Of any peace with soviet
Russia, it was believed Poland may have
a chance of surviving as a nation only IL
the Poles retain their capital.
In possession of Warsaw the bolshe-
Wiki would Immediately sovietlze Poland
and make that country a passageway to
Germany, military men believed.
Prince Lubomirski POLISH minister
here, expected an answer from President
Wilson early this week 10 his appeals
for food and other supplies-
The note from Premier Milleran- Of
France, expressing approval Of the Amer
lean stand on the Russo Polish crisis,
as stated in Secretary of State Colby's
recent note 70 the Italian ambassador,
has been received and probably will be
made public today.
