BARLOW BEAT OUR BOYS

From the standpoint of the local
football fans yesterdays game be-
tween Barlow and the Wildcats was
not a bowling success. The boys with
the yellow jerseys piled up "a to 0
score on the Wildcats and had things
going their way, especially in the last
half of the game. During the first
two quarters the Wildcats were able
to hold the Barlow boys pretty well
in the center of the field, with the ex-
ception of one time when the visitors
got near enough the goal line to make
a place kick. In the last half the Wis
itors were able to do as they pleased
except in a few instances when the
local line would stiffen a little and
hold them for downs.
The Barlow team was considerably
heavier than the Wildcats on the line
and consequently made gains thru
the Wildcats during the game. On
the other hand the Wildcats could not
do much with the visitors line and
were able to complete successfully
but few passes.
Stephens was again the outstanding
star for the Wildcats in his defensive
work. Bebe Daniels although light
was exceedingly successful in defend
ing the local goal against the repeat
ed onslaught of the massive visitors.
Bebe made some very pretty tackles.
Lewis also played a good defensive
game and Hall made several very neat
tackles. On offensive Ferguson was
the best battering ram. Jim Knight
slipped through the line for few
nice gains.
Frazier for Barlow intercepted a
forward pass and made a long broken
field run for a touchdown in the open
ing minutes of the second half. From
then on the Wildcats seemed to lose
pep and were unable to stop the mass
of beef that was hurled against them
time after time.

Of all the saddening blows that can
come to a family that of sudden acct
dental death is the greatest. The
sudden death Of one Of Tampa's best
known and loved citizens, DR.. Fred
A. Bize, who fell in his sleep down
the staircase of his home and never
recovered consciousness in the few
hours he lived, brought gloom over
Tampa that is well-nigh APPALLING. The
Tribune offers its sincerest condo

them that the entire community is
weeping with them over the loss OF
its friend and fellow worker.-Tampa

Noticed two Florida newspapers
using the single word "dead" over
obituaries last week and while there
was truth in the statement it really
is neither a suitable nor pleasant
heading to use. The word indicates d
fact that could have been accomplish

up for a heading when presenting

1t is not very often that the mat

THE CURB MARKET

THE decision of group of inter-
ested and determined people bent
on making a definite start toward
solving the market problem for the
farmer locally to establish curb
market in Americas is a splendid
thing. The curb market, we predict,
will be an immediate and distinct
success, and will provide beginning
of cash outlet in a small way for
surplus farm products. And in SO
doing it viii benefit the entire COM
munity, providing for the housewives
Of Americas fresh, wholesome farm
products, putting cash into the peck
cts of the producers, and increasing
the spending power of the country
people, which win react in favor of
the merchant.
But the curb market will be only
the beginning. The demand for pro
ducts locally is so small, compare
lively, that half dozen farmers
probably could supply the whole de-
nfand without extra effort. How
ever, inasmuch as it is meant for tho
benefit of the small producers and
for the sale of surplus products most
ly its value to the producers should
be widely distributed
What Americas and Sumter conn
ty need badly is a cash market on
a large scale for the shipment OF
farm products, such as warehouse
or an elevator would provide, pre-
ferably the latter. To it the farmer
could bring his surplus grain, seed.
feed, etc, and turn it into money
at the market price, just as
he now sells his hogs through the
cooperative method, paying there
fore only the small expense of hand
ling. Such market would go far
toward solving the difficulties of the
farmer with US We cannot start
too early tos provide it.
