DAWSON HIGH
LOSES TO ALBANY
Local Team Seems to Have Acquired
Habit of Losing by Close Margin
In Past Few Weeks.

The Dawson high school basket ball
team seems to have acquired the habit
of losing games during the past lew
weeks. Twice during the past week
has it allowed scores to be run up III
the wrong direction.
On Thursday night Albany was our
guest and we gave them a. warm well
come, as was indicated by the score,
SO to g. A sigh OF relief was heard
by those who were near the Albany
fans, when the final whistle sounded.
The game was not theirs until that
particular time Jordan led in goal
shooting for the local team, while
Roberts deserves the name OF star
player as a result Of the cyclone-like
manner in which he carried the ball
down the court.
On Saturday night a return game
was played in Albany, where the
score went against the Dawson boys
in very one-sided fashion. During
the early part of the game neither
side could claim the advantage, but it
was not long before Albany took the
lead and by the end of the game the
score cards showed a tally of 35-l4.
The season for basket ball is rapidly
drawing to an end, and the whole
team is. determined that the season
shall be wound up in different way
from that in which it has been run
during the last few days. The manage
ment will make announcements for
the remaining part OF the schedule
within a few days.

The Boil Weevil
Will Not Be "Gassed

WASHINGTON, D. Cts a
mistake. The boil weevill is not to
be "gassed7 out OF the cotton belt,
as suggested by army folk recent
". No plans for such an enterprise
are in contemplation, according to
!. L. Webb, in charge OF the anti
insect crusading in southern helds
for the department Of agriculture.
For one thing, Mr.. Webb's state
ment today said, it can't be done.
Apparently boil weevils are equlpp-
ed with gas masks. Observations
have indicated they can stand more
poison gas than any human and to
try and gas them out OF their dug
outs in. cotton bolls would menace
the lives OF humans and animals IN
the vinicinty. Instead, Mr.. Webb
said, the government experts will
stick to the safe and effective
method OF busting little arsenate
of lime discourager on cotton
plants as a measure OF control.
"Eradication OF the weeyil," he
added, is impossible. 1t is possible,
however, by this poison to keep
down the number Of weevils to
such an extent that a good crop OF
cotton can be raised"
