ELM CITY kACEYS
 BEAT NEW BRITAIN
Visitors Prove Too Good for Locals -COrbin Girls Are YiCtOrS

The New Britain Kaceys basketball team struck a snag last night at the State Armory. losing a hard fought battle to the New Haven Kaceys and relinquishing the lead in the State league. The score was 90 to 23. At the outset of the game. it looked as though New Britain would keep its slate clean. The home boys jumped into the lead, but as the game pro- gressed the visitors seemed to get ac- cation of the baskets. with the result that at the end of the first half the score was IA to 10 favoring the locals.
 In the second half. the visitors got the jump on Pilz's boys and soon took the lead and managed to keep it throughout the game. The pass work of the Elm City quintet excelled that of the locals, while the work of Daily and Griffin was of a stellar order. Tommy Reynolds and Captain Kilduf found it difficult to break through the stonewall defense of the visitors. Angelo played under a severe handi- cap of a sore arm, but the speedy lit- tie forward of the New Haven five managed to register 14 points for his team. O'Brien also played a fine game for the winners.
 Restelli, as usual. did we'll for New Britain, with Artie Campbell worked hard to bring victory to the locals.
 The summary:
 New Haven. New Britain. O'Brien Reynolds

 Right Forward. Ferguson Restelh, Crean Daly Campbell

 Score: New Haven 30. New Britain 23: goals from floor. O'Brien 3, An gelo {, Ferguson 2. Griffin 2, Daily. Reynolds 2, Kiiduff 2, Resteli 4. Campbell 9; goals from fouls. Restelli 3. Angelo 6; referee. Carlson, Middle town; timer, Sauter; time of halves, 20 minutes.
 Corbin Girls Win.
 The Corbin girls playing a snappy game defeated the Stanley Works five 10 to 6. It was a battle that kept the crowd on its toes throughout. At the end of the first half, the teams were tied at six all. due to the brilliant work of Miss Kilbourn for the Stanley Works and Miss Poppel and Miss Ahearn for Corbin. In the second half the Park street girls bombarded the basket, but Miss Poppel Was the only player able to secure a field goal. Miss Ahern showed skill at tossing 'em from the foul line with four bas- kets during the fray. The points for the losers were all registered by Miss Kilbourn.

WHEAT FARMERS ORGANIZING

The cotton farmer is not the only
producer who is having his troubles.
The wheat man and the corn man
of the west and middle west are hav-
ing their gloomy days and sleepless
nights. The bottom has fallen out of
the price of wheat and the corn far
aner, it is claimed, is burning his
corn because 1t is cheaper than SIS
coal.
This is a day of organization and
the farmer is beginning to realize
4hat only through an effective,
woodworking organization can he
hope to obtain a legitimate profit on
what he produces.
While cotton export and holding
corporations are being organized
throughout the south, the wheat and
scorn farmers in the north and west
eare just as busy. They are forming
f'large organizations to assist them in
sthe orderly marketing of their crops.
Planters cannot be blamed for at
tempting to get as much for their
product as they can, any more than
the jobber or the manufacturer who
demands and receives through
woodworking organizations legi-
innate profit on what they sell or
make. Labor has it's organization,
1.-The most powerful in the world, and
xlsuafly labor gets what it asks.
Tue declines in the prices Of cot
ton and grains, due largely to the
prevailing price-reduction fever that
has agitated the nation for several
months past, would not have been so
: great IL the farmer had been in po-
sItion to store his produce and mar
ket 1t gradually.

THE COUNTRY is NOT BROKE

One can give many reasons for
the "slowing-up" of industry, but the
most plausible reason probably is be-
cause the world has been running
fnE-steam ahead% for so long that it
was likely to run on the rocks II
4 1t did not slacken its speed.
The price depression came at a
most inopportune time for the farm
er, but if the advance had continued
for another year the reaction would
have Jared the world to its very
foundations.
The price Of raw materials contin-
ues to drop, but it is the opinion OF
shrewd observers that the bottom is
somewhere in sight. While the drop
ping process is going on manufac'
turers sit tight and refuse to buy en-
cept what is absolutely necessary
but when they think the bottom has
been reached they re-enter the mar
iket as active buyers and prices take
an upward turn.
The upward turn for cotton i
bound to come. The world must be
clothed and the present supply o.
manufactured goods is diminishing
daily. The demand may not be strong
enough to run the price back to 81
cents, but with cotton swinging
around 20 cents at the present low
-ebb, there is no reason why it shoulo
not reach higher figure when mills
resume operations on full time.
But the best part of it is Dillol
county is not broke. The present crol
promises to turn out 10000 bales
and if it sells at an average of q
cents it will turn four million dollar
into the banks of the county. This i
more than the total resources of al
the banks combined, or three time
more than it cost to make a crop be
fore the war.
The gradual and orderly market
ing of the crop is the only solution
OF the problem. There will be period
icaI bulges in the market until tn
next crop is ready to pick, and tn
man who sits steady and takes ad
vantage of these bulges will get
fairly good average price for HI
crop.
The excess war profits tax vii
7not worry many of us this year, bu
ned year we can pitch crop on
ten cents basis and if it sells for z
cents we will be happy and prosper
