NOTES OF THE GAME
It's going to be a sight worth
seeing this summer when Roy
Dennis and Dee Gaskill get
warmed up and going. They
exhibited stun that promises IA
banner year for both of them.
Harry Nichols proved he is a
dangerous batter and a mighty
nifty third haseman. His Two
base hit would have been good
for a homer on any other field; it
stuck in soggy wheat ground and
didn't roll a bit. His stop of a
hot grounder was a sweet piece
Of third .baSing, too: he slipped
and sat down as he took the ball,
and made a perfect peg to first,
cutting the runner off by a step.
Nose White doesn't care much
for boating" weather, but just
the same he cavorted in big
league style, getting everything
within his territory. When hot
weather comes, it is going to be
a hard joe for a batter to hit 'em
where Nose "ain't."
Hen Nichols, first, and Ora
Dennis, second, made a mighty
smooth combination on the right
side of the intield. This is Hens
first year with the Grays, and it
is going to be a hard job to
keep him out OF the line Oral
shifted to second, filling Coday's
position, and folded f%aultlessly.
He is the Grays' clean up hitter,
and is a dangerous man who will
be in the lineup every game.
1t takes a real heavy hitter to
hit one away from the Grays'
outtielders. Ural Dennis, Pete
Freeman and Banty Short make
up a trio of outer gardeners that
will save a number of games for
Mansfield this summer.
"Old Reliable" Brasher was in
the game from the tap of the
gong. With man like him, who
is death on foul tips, it is nc Won
der that the pitchers take things
easy.
Pete Freeman was hit by a
pitched ball in the first inning,
but didn't leave the game until
the seventh. Stone took his
place in center, and while he
didn't have a chance, he is a
clever little player to have around
for almost any position on the
diamond.
When a team goes out and
beats Smokey Joe" Haven, they
can say that they had a hard job.

W.. o Bouldin, A. j. Clark and

man to have around; he

when it was hurt.

MARKET
REOPENS STRONG

Owensboro, Ky. Jan. 31.-One
of the best sales OF the season is re-
ported at the loose leaf tobacco
houses today. Nearly all houses
had heavy brakes and only four had
completed sales at the noon hour.
Nearly 475,O0O pounds of Pryor
will be offered buyers today and it
is believed sales will be heavy all
week, and growers will take advant-
age of the splendid season and
bring their crops to the market, es-
pecially now when better prices are
now being paid than at any time
this season.
There were many high individual
averages made today. An average
of S11.35, made on the sale of 191,-
$50 pounds, which sold for $21,-
745 is the highest made this season,
and if the three other houses which
have not completed sales make as
good averages, indications are that
the record will again be broken.

WOMEN OF CITY URGED
TO DRESS DECENTLY

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 2S.-De-
sclaring that there has been a dis
tinct lowering of moral standards
in dress and behavior on the part
of women and girls during the last
year." the Churchwomen's Fedora
tion at it's first Central Committee
meeting at the Second Presbyterian
Church adopted resolutions calling
upon women and girls to refrain
from indecent dress, the use of
cusmetics and cigarettes and from
gambling and drinking.
The resolution urged women to
attempt to persuade other members
of their sex to join in this effort ito
maintain an exalted standard of
womanhood in the CITY," and sug-
ested that "the women and girls
of the churches plan wisely for the
social life of young people, linking
it up wherever possible with the ac-
tivities of the churches"
A number of committee reports
were dead at the meeting and Prof.
r. P. Halleck spoke on "The
Church and the Community"

DEALERS WHO FAILED DID
NOT USE NEWSPAPERS
Importance of Advertising Is
Stressed at Meeting OF
Hardware Men

Louisville, KY, Jan. 27.-Con-
structive adjustment of prices to
lower levels, caution in the selec-
tion of merchandise, avoidance of
overbuying in any line of stock, and
cancellation of orders only in the
case of absolute necessity were con-
sidered at today's session of the
twenty-first annual convention of
Kentucky Hardware G. Implement
Dealers Association at the jefferson
County Armory.
Election of officers was to take
place this afternoon. The organiza-
tion will henceforth be known as
the Kentucky Hardware C Imple-
ment Association.
Mercantile agencies report that
S4 per cent of the failures of retail
firms in this country during 1920
were by men who did not advertise
in the local papers," said r. H. Ken
nedy, Dayton, Ohio, in an illustrated
lecture on Getting the Most Ont OF
Retailing"
Mr.. Kennedy predicted better
business conditions in the near fu-
ture brought about by the readjust-
ment of fo8ign trade relations and
the cooperation of merchants. He
said the textile mills would soon re-
open and there would be revival of
the building industry. Lack of
sound business methods is the cause
of between 80 and 90 per cent of
he declared
Mr.. Kennedy showed pictures of
correct advertising and how to
write and prepare copy. He EN-
phasized the necessity of window
display, pointing out the right and
wrong methods. Slides portraying
the service of clerks and the sales
mans attitude to the customer were
also shown.
"A man must know his business
from beginning to end or he can
not make it a success. The over
head expense, what the work cost,
how to attarct trade by service, how
to fix the selling price to give net
profit to the merchant and not ov-
ercharge the customer and the i'm
,ortance of buying must be studied
said Mr.. Kennedy.

OIL NOTES

West Kentucky Petroleum Co.,

arations to fully develop the oil
field north east of Hartford, pro-
vided they can secure the proper
amount of acreage. If sufficient
leases can be secured they will be-

otherwise so we are informed they
will direct their attention to other
fields as several companies have
done heretofore.
The Howard we'll No. 2. east of
Hartford, which was cleaned out
