BASE BALL
MARION WINS
FROM DARLINGTON

Those who like a few thrills mixed
in with a ball game were content
with the Saturday game when the
Marion Reds mixed with the fast
Darlington team.
The home boys scored in the first
inning but Darlington came back
with two right away when Conyer
misjudged n long fly to center al
lowing an otherwise easy out to count
~ \ home run with man on the
paths.
Proper team work IN backing up
would have prevented one Of these
runs. The visitors then proceeded to
score two more with the aid Of an
error or two making the score stand
four to one in their favor.
For an inning or two this made
things look pretty bad. Our boys were
hitting the ball on the nose but some
how or another there was always
somebody right in front Of the ball
waiting for it when it got there,
In the lucky seventh though, Dris.
kill opened with his second triple and
his team mates just got mad and
scored three runs tying the score
Much happiness in the grand stand
In the home half Of the eighth tn,

NEW STEAMBOAT
ON CUMBERLAND

The new steamboat, Grace Devers,
owned by Capt. F. 0. Devers Of
Dycusburg made an excursion trip
to Cave-in-Rock, Mr.. Dever's home
town, last Sunday. The boat had q
good crowd which was very orderly
and seemingly very enjoyable. She
was built for the Cumberland River
trade between Dycusburg and Padu.
cab, making daily trips between these
points. Capt Devers is we'll known
to many Independent readers, all of
whom wish him great success. The
Livingston Enterprise, published at
Smithland, KY, has the following
to say Of the new boat:
The people here are greatly pleased
over the fact that our new passenger
steamer, the Grace Devers is making
daily trips on schedule time from
Dycusburg to Paducah and return
They celebrated equal to the signing
Of the armistice on the maiden trip
down by firing guns and throwing a
vast number Of bouquets after her,
which floated triumphantly after her
on the calm surface Of the picturesque
Cumberland which we trust was a
good omen to her future financial
success and faithful service TO the
public. Her owner, +. o. Devcrs after
a long and desperate struggle. under
discouraging and difficult circum-
stances is, since her completion wear
ing that inimitable smile of his, which
together with his honesty and ad-
herence to the golden rule has won
for him so many friends up and down
the Cumberland. The boat Is named
for Mr.. Devers' wife, who is very
charming and hospitable lady, and
who has toiled with great earnest
ness and faithfulness in assisting her
husband to get the boat completed.
We feel that she has earned the honor
Of having the boat named for her 4.
Here's hoping the Grace Devers may
never sink, but ply the waters Of the
Cumberland faithfully to a successful
old age.-Hardin County Independent.

HOW TO MAKE
MONEY

Every man in every business wants
to make money. He is in business for
that purpose. Many of them never
discover how to do it. The farmer
wants to make money as much as
other folks, and he is entitled to do
so. He probably works harder than
any other class and as a rule has less
70 show at the end of the year If he
does his best then the lack Of success
is not his fault.
In Hardin county the farmer neg
iects golden opportunity to make
money if he does not put ground lime.
stone on his land. Nature has been
prodigal with limestone in this county.
The way to crush it is cheap, and can
be done by the farmer himself. II he
does not do it he can blame the rum
down condition of his farm on his own
failure to do what others have done.
He stands in the way of his own
He simply stands in the way Of his
own success.
Samuel Fischer said it has been
demonstrated that alfalfa could be
raised successfully in Hardin county
by the use Of ground limestone. He
was one Of the best farmers in Hardin
county, and he demonstrated on his
place near Tunnel Hill the truth Of
this statement. What is true about
limestone as a necessity for alfalfa is
equally true Of clover. The best clover
fields in Hardin county are those
which have been lime-treated and the
poorest fields are those which have
not been lined.
Joe Barnes bought farm in Meet
ing Creek for taxes. He lined it well
and it is producing as much today
clover and timothy per acre as the
best Nolin bottom land.
Harry Stewart, near Elizabethtown
after putting lime on land which he
set in alfalfa had load left over. He
dumped this load near his barn and
spread it over a small area Of ground
The rains came and carried some OF
it out in little rivulets. Where this
load was dumped the clover grew "as
thick as the hairs on dogs back, "
and every little line where the water
had carried it showed a great abun-
dance of clover, while the rest Of
the field did not produce half as much

GRIFFITH
PRODUCTION
AGAIN MR.. GRIFFITH SHOWS
EN- HOW 1T SHOULD BE DONE

The D. W. Griffith repertory season
started auspiciously last night at the
Illinois with Broken Blossom. s"
adapted from the story by Thomas
Burke.
At the risk Of repeating ones self
it is still necessary to say that Mr..
Griffith is in class all by himself.
He has number Of worthy followers
in the directorial line who put out
excellent pictures-so good you won
der If, perhaps the master has not
rivals. The answer comes when with
production like Broken Blossoms"
the wizard turns himself loose and
shows what he really can do.
Realizing the psychological effect
OF surroundings on the plastic mind,
the Illinois theatre has been touched
by a discerning wand and trans
formed into bower Of flowers and
rosy lights. Beautiful houris in the
shimmering raiment Of the orient pre-
cede you to your seat and hand you
your quaint program. Incense and
music combine to lure you into har
inony with the picture. OF which,
somebody remarked upon hearing OF
its presentation:
Il wonder If that story can be put
upon the screen? It's q dangerous
theme--the love Of q yellow man for
a white girl--and would have to be
treated with the same exquisite deli
easy and sureness Of touch the author
used in order to make the picture in
any way possible"
Well it could not have been more
beautifully handled. Richard Barthel-
mess as the lonely chinese lad who
comes to London to convert the An
glo-Saxon to the theories Of the gen.
tie .Buddha, and there meets disillu-
sionment, love and death, gives q
marvellous presentation.
Surely this stolid, intense, sensitive,
passionate, disappointed, sad.eyed
watchful oriental could never have
played in the comedies. Yet it was
only last week you saw him lending
merriment to Dorothy Gish picture.
He gave me the surprise Of my young
life, I'll admit. didn't think he had
it in him.
And Lillian Gish. 1t has been that
now you like her and now you don't.
This, time, however, there can be no
question about her. She is q poor
little cockney. the ward Of q prize
fighter whom she calls daddy" 1t
is upon this helpless waif that daddy
vents the rage Of his black moments,
using the rawhide with skill born Of
long practice. One Of these beatings
brings her to the Chinaman's door
step where she falls, spent with pain.
Hunger, agony terror. helplessness,
timid gratitude to the first person who
has ever been kind to her-the Chi
nese boy--are all portrayed by Miss
Gish with startling realism. You are
sick with pity for her. You admit
it-and that shows how wonderful
she is.
As to Donald Crisp as the prize
fighter, you must hand him a medal
for work well done. And then you'd
like to forget him. The minor parts
are all excellently played.
The picture has 4 rather novel
color scheme-Chinese blue. Awfully
effective. 1t is characterized by the
artistic settings, splendid photogra-
ply and keen attention to detail that
always marks Griffith production.
Ny one and only criticism would be
that at the start the action is too
slow. It takes you long while to
get into the story.

its maker.-Mse Tinee in Chicago
