STUDENTS DEFEATED FACULTY
IN BASKET BALL GAME
BY Burt johnson

The High School basketball team
defeated the faculty in fast game
played for the benefit of the chorus.
The score at the end Of the game was
~ to 20. About two hundred per-
sons witnessed the game.
The star of the game was Engle-
man playing for the teachers. He
made twenty Of the twenty-nine
points scored by the faculty. Gal
braith and Holestine also showed up
in the faculty lineup.
The school team had two men who
about split for first honors. They
Boss and w. Reynaud. The other
three men, Henderson, NJ. Reynaud
and Beatty also played a good ag-
gressive game.
The boys seemed to show better
team work than the pedagogues and
we're able to do better passing. AL
though the school team did not have
the high point man they distributed
their points among all the members
Engleman, Galbraith and Seamster
did all the score making for the in
structors.
At the end of the first half the
school team led 18 to 10. But in the
second half the teachers frightened
and made basket for basket until the
last few minutes when the boys forg-
ed ahead a little.
Although the game was a little
rough at times only five fouls were
called.
1t is very probable that the school
team will play game Friday after
noon with team Of former stars rep
resenting the town. The lineup: n
High School (42) Faculty (29)

TO DEFINE OPEN
DOOR IN CHINA
British Premier Spends 59th An
niversary Preparing Speech
Before Conference.

Washington, Jan. 17.-A proposal
to define the open door in China and
create an international board to ex-
anime both existing and future con-
cessions which appear to conflict with
it was debated without decision today
by the Far Eastern committee of the
Washington conference.
The British and Italians accepted
the plan in principle, but the French
withheld assent to some OF it's pro-
visions, and the Japanese reserved
judgment pending communication
with Toxic. The subject will be taken
up again tomorrow, with all signs
pointing to,a long and interesting
discussion.
In brief, the American resolution
would bind the United States, Great
Britain, Japan, France, Italy, Bel
GUM, Portugal and The Netherlands
not to seek special spheres of influ-
epce in China, not secure concessions
or monopolies which would abridge
the principle of equal economic and
commercial opportunity.
China, on her part, would agree to
cooperate in maintaining that equal
ity and the nine powers collectively
would authorize establishment of a
board of reference to review present
and future concessions to determine
whether they conflict with the open
door thus defined.

MONSTER WALNUT
LOG SHIPPED
CoHntrynan

A giant walnut log, estimated to
weigh between five and six tons, was
shipped from Sarcoxie Monday to
Kansas city where it is to be used in
the manufacture of monographs and
pianos. The buyer is j. j. Wilson of
Pittsburg, Kansas. The log was cut
on the Schooling place near Clarkson
and the buyer says it is the largest
log that has been shipped to Kansas
City in three years. The exact price
paid to Mr.. Schooling for the log was
not stated, but is understood to have
been more than $100. The buyer said
it cost $175 to put it on the freight
car at the depot.
"The log will make 6,444 graphic
phones and there will be material left
probably for few pianos," the buyer
declared.
Various guesses at the age of the
log We're made. Wiley Wormington
said he had known the original tree
for 60 years. An effort TO count the
rings showed an age of between so
and 60 years, but this could not be
done accurately, the rings being
weavy and indefinite. 1t is probable
that the log is at least 100 years old.
