NORMALS LOSE A
HARD-LUCK GAME
Sosed Out of Well-Deserved Vic
tory in 10th Inning by Lin
coin University

With darkness coming fast and
the fielders hardly able to see the
ball, Eastern Normal was nosed
out of a deserved victory over
the Lincoln Memorial Institute
of Cumberland Gap, Wednesday
afternoon, by the score of 10 to 9
in the second game fthe series.
"A big crowd thoroughly enjoyed
the long game.
After having the game safely
won, through the superior pitch
ing OF Jim Lackey, the excellent
backstopping of Fox, and the all
round fast work of Jim Combs,

in the infeId noticeably at first
and several times on third, the
game was thrown away. 1t took
the mountain lads ten innings to
snatch the game, however, but
they were mighty glad to get it,
for it was practically a gift to
them.
The game was marked by long
hitting by both teams. Normal
took decided brace in the field,
some splendid defense work be-
ing shown. Several costly plays
by Howard at third, spilled the
beans, however, after it seemed
that the contest was safely on
ice. Fox, working behind the bat,
for the first time, caught a nice
game. His only fault was in
taking a couple OF steps in throw
ing to second behind left-hand
batters. He lost three chances
to kill base runners through
that fault, which he will undoubt
ly correct as he gives promise of
all excellent backstop.

MOVING PICTURES
FOR BIG HILL SCHOOL
Berea College to Donate Machine
to Country School-Supt.
Edwards Sees Benefit

In order to obtain a musical in
strument for their handsome new
school building, the pupils and
/ teachers of the Big Hill school
gave a pie supper a few nights
ago. The net proceeds amount
ed to $500, which will go a good
ways towards buying either a
| piano or organ.
County Superintendent OF
Schools Ben F. Edwards, who has
just returned from a trip to the
schools in that section of the
county, says, that the new build
ling is proving very satisfactory.
Prof. ] H. Guthrie and Miss Cleo
Baker, his assistant, are doing a
fine work with their 80 pupils and
the school is propering. The new
building has two rooms, two
work rooms, and a library and is
proving very comfortable and
convenient. Rerea College au-
thorities are said to have prom
ised moving picture outfit for
the showing of educational and
historical films. to the Big Hill
school. Thit institution will in
that event, be the first school in
the county to be so equipped.
The pupils and teachers are look
ing forward to this distinction
with much pleasure.
At Beech Grove school, Supt.
Edwards found Obert Richard
son doing a good work. He has
recently dug a well to secure a
better water supply for the pu-
pills. He also built a bridge over
Red Lick Creek, so that all pupils
may easily get to school no mat
ter how high the water becomes.
There is an average attendance
of about 50 at this school and its
often the case that the water gets
50 high that it is dangerous for
the little fellows to cross.
At. Webb school, !Supt. Ed
wards found the roof partly dam
aged by the heavy wind, but Miss
Lillian Webb, teacher, is going
forward with her work just the
same. She has 28 pupils. This
school is also down in the Red
Lick country and is doing a fine
work for the youngsters in that
section.
At Mallory school also on Red
Lick, Miss Lucy Hays has 81 pu-
pills. She keeps their interest
going, and is doing a good work
Supt. Edwards visited High
Point School, also where Miss
Agnes Moore is the very efficient
teacher. She has every child in
the district known to be of school
age, enrolled. Music is made a
feature at this school and is apprc
ciated and enjoyed by all. The
children gave some nice songs
for Supt. Edwards and Deputy
Sheriff Johnson, truant officer,
who was with him.

excellent support. Reeves got

KEEP THE FARMERS BUSY.
Local Man Discusses Inter Depen-
dence of City and Country.

Never before has the inter-depen-
dence OF country and city-of agri-
culture and industry-been SO forci-
bly, emphasized as during the past
few months" declares J. Edward
smith. of the Wilmington Automobile
Company, local representative for Sam
son Power farming machinery. The
present economic condition resulting
from postwar defiation proves con-
clusiveiy that the farmer is just as
dependent upon the city as the city
upon the farmer. In the highly
specialized system Of American civil
ization. no one class or group can
prosper independently of the other
groups.
when the farmer refuses to buy,
or is unable to buy, factories close
down, working men are thrown out
of employment. the consumption Of
food drops of, the prices of farm pro-
ducts drop lower and lower, banks
refuse TO lend money and call in their
outstanding loans, and business is at
a siandstill.
This is more than a theory. Last
fan in a small manufacturing town
ia the middle west a factory was COM
PEELED TO close because of lack Of de-
nand for its products-many men
were thrown out of work-and the
consumption of meat in that one town
alone dropped off over 1000 per
month. When people are out of work,
they simply cannot buy abundantly
Of the farmers produce and the finan-
cial predicament of the agricultural
communities is further aggravated.
THE farmer is dependent upon the
city worker to buy what he raises-the
manufacturer is largely dependent
upon the agricultural communities to
buy what he makes-and if his goods
are not sold. his employees are thrown
out Of work and their buying power
is crippled, which Immediately effects
the sale OF farm produce-banks
.-tighten up" and the condition be-
comes worse than before. Thus we
have an endless circle Of dependen-
cies-which explains our recent bust
ness depression.
Right now, everyone wants busi-
ness TO open up"-but most of US
wait for the other fellow to make the
first move. 1 am not saying that the
fault is with. the farmer, or the man
ufacturer, or the banker, or the dealer
or any one class. It's everybody's
fault-It's everybody's problem.
Credit. as applied TO so basic an
industry as agriculture should be
stretched 10 the limit, few of us are
philantropists at heart. But, it isn't
a question Of philanthropy. It's a
question Of good business question
of doing a thing because it will pay
a question Of constructive selhshness.
Right now, we are lining up our lit
lie business in accordance with this
prescription-we are going to sell
farm operating equipment for consid-
erably less than the manufacturing
costs.
