CAMBRIDGE SMASHED
BY CAMPbELLSTOWN

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, Dec. 10
The C. M. A. C. of Cambridge City
lost its first game in the Suburban
League to the fast Campbellstown In
dependents here Saturday night by
the score of So to II. Harris, forward
for Campbellstown, was revelation
for local net followers in the art Of
hitting the basket. He connected with
the basket for 10 field goals, making
a total of 26 points for his team. He
also played the floor we'll and his
teammates backed him in good fash
ion.
Hauck, of c. M. A. c., was the best
xscore getter for the locals getting nine
AJtf his teams II points. The game
was fast in spite of the onesidedness
of the score The first half ended
to 4 in favor of Campbellstown.
The Campbeustown team made the
following statement in regard to the
game:
"Campbellstown Independents play
ed their first game in the Suburban
League Saturday evening, Dec. II, at
Cambridge City. The locals tickled
the draperies for SO scores as against
II for the opponents. The game was
fast and clean. The C. M. A. c. boys,
although playing a losing game, did
not IN any measure TeSOIl W any III
necessary roughness.
"Campbellstown was agreeably sur
prsed for many reports had come to
them that the c. M. A. c. team would
resort to unfair tactics in order to win.
Competent Referee
"Diffendyer proved himself COM
petent as a referee. He was unbiased,
had the game in his hands at all times
and refereed beyond reproach.
The local team wishes to say no
better treatment could be rendered us
by either a crowd on the sidelines or
players on the floor. They showed
themselves to be real sportsmen and
we will recommend them to any team
for fair play.
"If the Campbellstown and c. M. A.
C. game is at all typical, the suburb
an league games will be a great sue
cess"
The above was signed by Captain
Harris of Campbellstown. The lineup

Whitewater BEATS
/ EATON Al TO II, IN
0NE-SIDED CONTEST

EATON, o., Dec. 13.-The Eaton
high school basketball team opened
the season here Saturday night, going
down to defeat before the fast White
water high school five, Al to II. The
whirlwind champions from the little
Indiana town had the better Of the
argument from the start and, although
the score was close during the first
half. Whitewater was always in the
lead.
Gray. the big boy on the visiting
team, started the scoring and led the
half with five field goals. Blose fol
lowed with two. and Hunt the midget
on the "W" five, made long one from
center. Eaton threatened to even
things up during the first 20 minutes,
Weaver making two field goals and a
foul goal, followed by Overholser, Cot
each, which ended the scoring for Ea-
ton. The half ended 16 to II.
Work Fast
Whitewater seemed to take on a
new and overwhelming outburst Of
speed and action during the last half,
making goal after goal, as fast as the
, scorer could mark them up. The e.
H. S. lads were held scoreless, failing
to make single point during the last
frame of the game. Whitewater
played a great defensive game, break
ing up play after play for the locals.
Eaton was forced to make long shots,
never getting within easy reach of the
basket. Most of the locals shots were
from the center of the floor. The
work Of Freeman and Brown, White
water guards, was the big feature Of
the game.
Seconds Are Defeated
The Eaton second team was more
fortunate in defeating the Whitewater
seconds, in the curtain-raiser, in one
Saf the highest and most exciting
flames ever played here by the score
of 6 to 4. The score was tied at the
end of the first half, 3 to g. Over
three-fourths of the points were made
on foul goals.

STRIKE STILL ON
Miners Again Joining WalkOuts
Business Badly Hampered
Markets Rotten

The metropolitan press has un-
doubtedly misled readers in re-
gard to the strike situation. That
there are yet out in the several
big railroad centers of the coun-
try thousands of yardmen and
switchmen is now known to al
most every one and shippers of
every kind of merchandise and
market stuff are keenly aware of
the condition. Just why the diff
ferences existing between the
employers and employees has
not been settled long ago, no one
appears to be able or disposed il
able, to explain. Kansas miners
have again walked out and every
day threatens to see a walkout
on the part of trainmen.
Evidently that part of the ad
ministration which is not sick i:
asleep. Big mercantile house!
in several cities have made cut!
in prices of clothing, drygood'
and women's toggery and ever
automobiles and trucks as stiff
as fifty percent. Cattle and hog
are not worth feeding and poll
tics is being played by congress
to a frazzle regardless of the in
terests of the public.

Joan Dare Canonized

Pope Benedict, at the Vatican,
celebrated the canonization of
the Maid Of Orleans Sunday. The
French heroine was burned at
the stake by the English on a
charge of heresy after she had in!
spired Freuchmen to resistance
of invasion.
The ceremonies at st. Peters
Sunday are said to have been the
most impressive in decades and
from early dawn immense num-
bers of foreigners together with
natives filled Rome to overflow
ing. Ten thousand children took
part in the ceremony and the
civic and military as well as &c
clesiastical display was indeserib,
Iingly grand. One of the worlds
most celebrated women is now
one of the sainted of the earth,

SpoOks In The Sky

Last Friday about II a. m. a
most unusual phenomenon appea-
red in the sky in the form of a
perfect ring, prismatic colors,
about 100 feet across and the sun
in the center and another ring,
perfect milky white and tapping
over one half of the other and
passing directly thru the center
of the sun. A long streak of
prismatic color at an angle of 45
degrees in the southeast part of
the sky extending east by north
for about a mile in the direction
southwest by south, about ten
feet in width at the center and
of prettiest rainbow hue. A few
filmy clouds about this phenome.
non but no clouds of any sort
visible about the sun which was
at least ten degrees north by
west of the streak. When the
colors dissolved there was a light
hazy streak where the aerial
ribbon had appeared but about
! the sun all was clear.
Various and sundry explana-
tions of the wonder were advanc-
ed but no one, even the oldest
inhabitant, professed to have
ever witnessed such heavenly
display prior to this time. Some
of the colored citizens feel that
it was an omen and hold them
selves ready to say amen to
whatever results from it. Many
women opined that the vision
stood over Louisiana and indi-
Gated a flag of victory in the leg
islature over the prospect of
ratification of woman suffrage
and farsighted politicians be-
lieve it was herald of the halo
. which would be over the nominee
of the convention at the Golden
Gate who would stand on a plat
form opposed to prohibition, Vol
: steadism and partnership with
t Britain in any project.
: Whatever it portended, we
t hope Jupiter Pluvius had some
r thing to do with its appearance
: and staged it as an assurance
that we would not only not have
! a flood, but that there would be
t material cessation of wet and
t frosty weather.

PRICE CUTTING
General Reductions Everywhere
The Slack Season Blamed
Rush of Buyers.

Chicago and other large cities
have been struck by the deep cut
in prices begun in Omaha this
week. Shoes which were sold
at $12 now marked to go at $4.S5
and clothing, mems and womens,
hats, almost everything in the
line of merchandise in fact, is
being cut in price from 20 to 90
percent. The slack season, slow
shipments, overstocks, live
stock depreciation, financial III
stitutions opposition to the high
cost of living and denying credit
for money to be spent for luxur-
les, are some of the reasons as
signed for the slump in profits.
The marking down system is ex-
pected to hit small towns rapid
| ly and the effect on fall prices is
said to be sure. Wearing old
clothes, not overalls, had much
to do with slim selling in oui
opinion.

ton is a successful farmer and

K. II. S. Teachers. Gone

The latter part of last week
the teachers in our high school
left for their homes, with the ex-
ception of Supt. Will White who
will 60 to K. City the latter part
of the week. Miss Thale return
ed to Lewiston Monday and it is
understood that she has been
offered a position in the Moberly
schools at $500. She has not
yet decided to accept. 1t is pro-
bable that Miss Walker will not
teach again this year tho on her
departure for her home at La
clede she did not express positive
conclusion. Mrs. Gillian and
her husband, DR.. Gillaim went
to Kirksville. 1t is said that
Mrs. Gillian will discontinue
teaching and it is not known at
this time whether DR.. Gillian
will return here to continue in
the practice of osteopathy. Prof.
Wilson, we have been told, will
engage in the banking business
at Sampsel near ChillicOthe,
his old home town. Prof. White
will go to Kirksville later on and
perhaps not engage in teaching
but be connected with a chile
welfare organization. Not one
of the teachers in our high schoo
applied for a position for the
coming term. We learned the
first of the week that Misse!
Marion White, Myrtle Miller, j
Martin and Leta Bartz had beer
engaged by the school board TO
the grades for the coming tern
at increased salaries. Miss Cal
laham was not an applicant fo
unemployment.
1t isreported by the care-take

siderable repairs will be neces
sary. Just why the building
cracking open about in the sam
places the old building did Nigh
