bear, choking and pulling him off
until the keeper could arrive and
put him back in his cage. Except
for being severely squeezed and
frightened the girl was not much
hurt. The. carnival management
paid the parents S75 damages.

FACE TWO
a rinn Snirii.

The Hamlet News Messenger in
its last weeks issue contained a
most neighborly article in reference
to the recent Rockingham-H Hamlet
football game, which resulted in a
score OF $50 in favor of Rocking
ham, AS those who witnessed the
game will recall, the best of feeling
preyailed-and this is but a fore
runner OF the cordial relations that
shall continue between the two
schools.
Here is what the Hamlet paper
had to say, and further down is
what a Hamlet man (Stewart Cor
DOWN wrote in the Hamlet paper:
Fighting to the very last, game to
the core, yet outplayed in every
stage of the game, Hamlet football
team lost to Rockingham in a 3S to
0 game last Friday. Captain Bill
Love, with his fighting crew, cheer
ed on by crowd OF >loyal fans,
worked hard and faithfully for vic
tory.
while this marks the second de-
feat of the local team by Rocking
liam, the real feature last Friday
was the friendly spirit which pre-
vailed on both teams. While the
local boys deeply regret their defeat,
yet the contest was worth more to
Hamlet than a squabbling, contest
cd victory.
The Post-Dispatch this week
chronicles the game play by play,
but what is more important, it,
iauds the ganeness and good
craftsmanship of Hamlet players.
"Hamlets attitude in the matter
is well described in the following
article by Stewart Gordon:
"A New Rockingham and Hamlet
Spirit.
(By Stewart Gordon)
In Fridays football game be-
tween the two old football rivals,
Hamlet and Rockingham, Hamlet
was badly beaten in points but not
in spirit. That game between Ham
let and Rockingham marks the
beginning of new and better spir-
it of rivalry between the two towns.
Heretofore there has been feeling
of rivalry that could be termed
disgrace to the two towns, but that
game Friday marks new epoch in
the history of Richmond county
athletics.
"A cleaner game of football has
never been seen in Richmond
county. There were no arguments
between the two teams and there
was only one penalty during the
whole game. No sneering remarks
between opposing players were
heard, and the members of both
teams behaved themselves in a
sportsman-like way that deserves
credit.
After the game, according to
Captain Love, who was called upon
to tell of the game in chapel Mon
day morning, the team was carried
to the hotel, where they dressed

price of corn, Nebraska farr..ers will
continue to burn coal. The only
corn that will go into fuel bins this
year will be damaged goods. unfit

Nebraska had an epidemic Of corn

been In this State.
To determine the relative merits
Of corn as fuel in comparison
with coal q series of experiments
have Just been completed at the
University of Nebraska. The tests
disclose that 1t takes fifty bushels
Of corn on the cob or sixty-three
bushels OF shelled corn to produce
as many heat units as one ton Of
bituminous coal. At present prices
for corn In the crib the farmer who
burned his grain would be paying
at the rate Of 50 q ton for feul.

get, buy their winter fuel from the
coal merchant and still be dollars
ahead.
More corn will be turned into
beef In Nebraska this year than at

At present prices q bushel of corn
is worth approximately eighty cents
when scientifically transformed into
steak or pork chops.
