LOCAL SPORT FIELD

The game between the High School
basketball teams representing Alex
andria and Sank Centre at Alexan-
dria Friday was just another one of
those times when the score dosen't
tell the whole story. Playing better
brand of ball than the Alexandria
team could show, Sank Centre shot
eight field goals while their opponents
got seven, only to lose out at the free
throw line when Alexandria made
good four out of ten tries and Sank
Centre only one out of five. OF the
eight field goals for Sank Centre,
Marx, who was the big gun for the
Main Streeters and individual high
scorer of the ten men, shot five nice
ones.
Alexandria started the ball rolling
into the hoop right at the start, when
they collected five points on two field
goals and a free throw before Sank
Centre could get started. After that
in the half the best Alex could do was
to get two more free throws while
Sank Centre roped in three field
goals and a free throw for total of
z. The half ended with the score z
all, but since Sank Centre had been
in possession of the ball for two
thirds of the time, things didn't look
any too good for Alexandra in the
next half.
The second half opened up with
some fast play on the part of both
teams and Alexandria slowly forged
ahead until the score showed gap
of five points. Both teams were MAX
ing an occasional basket, with Alex
andria making good the few chances
they had, while Sank Centre missed
shot after shot which at any other
time would have been good and would
have won the game. Then with about
five minutes left to play, Sank Cen
tire staged rally that came near do
ing the business. Marx made his
fourth ringer of the game and then
Brown stepped through the Alex de-
tense for a nice shot. Marx again
came through for his fifth and last
basket and the game ended with the
crowd entreating the "Red Streaks"
to stop the fast-stepping Sank Cen
treites. The final score was 18 to IT,,
Alexandria had been given the game
of their lives on their home floor and
had won only after Sank Centre lost
all the breaks, which included the
official in charge of the game. But
that's another story.
In the first game between the two
teams at Sank Centre, several weeks
ago, the locals won out by score of
10 to II, at which time both Brock
meir and Smith were playing. AL
though at Alexandria Brockmeir was
not playing on account of having
reached the age limit recently, An
derson, who substituted for Smith,
out on account of an injury received
in the Glenwood game, played every
bit as good game and did his part
in the scoring. -
Next Friday will see the Sank Cen
tres high school team travelling to
Glenwood to play return game. In
the contest staged here Glenwood was
defeated II to 8, but since the local
team may be somewhat disorganized,
due to the loss of Grossberg, the star
guard, the score no doubt will be
closer over there. Long Prairie, the
the only other team to defeat Sank
Centre this season, will play here on
Tuesday of next week.

THE "A. P" ACHIEVEMENT

Undoubtedly the art of reporting has been magnified to dimensions undreamed of in the early days of American jour nalism. If there was any phase of the Democratic convention, for example, which did not receive it's need of pub licity, the readers of newspapers cer- tainly did not notice the omission. There were present not only the representa- tives of the usual news agencies, but there were also innumerable staff cor respondents and special writers to record the human interest, humorous and bizarre events and features of the hectic gathering. Undoubtedly the American people know almost as much about the convention as if they had been present Gin person." as the movies have it.
 But throughout the entire proeeetf ings the story as related by the AssO- ciated Press stands out as the backbone of all the reporting. This news-gather- ing association, unbiased in it's purpose and in it's reports, wrote a chronicle of the proceedings, so accurate, so detailed so we'll proportioned and so vivid that it deserves to stand as an authentic his torical document, complete, faithful and all-embracing. The absence of editorial coloring to which reporting is so easily . prey, was both agreeable and noticeable to those who like to get their basic facts straight and unadulterated by prejudice or opinion. People read opinion for the sake of the opinion, but when they read

TuRKEY nIET TN TExAs

Up and down Texas, and crOssways, too, the cry comes that the grasshoppers are eat ing farmers out of house and home. Mir. Grasshopper is a diner of yoPacious appe- tite, and remains in one feeding ground until the law of diminishing returns makes il easier for hinds to move on than stay there and starve. In other words, he licks the platter clean and sometimes leaves not even the platter. But farmers around Colorado
 Tex, are said to have made q discovery. They have discovered turkeys. And the tur- keys have discovered MT. GrasshOpper. Tur- keys thrive on grasshoppers. It. is said that where they range in numbers through. out the crops and pastures the hoppers hop more warily and in far less numbers. And the turkeys gain flesh and fatness on the diet which MT. Grasshopper unwillingly fur nishes. The Colorado farmers provided the turkeys expressly against such an emer- gency. Little turkeys are a great deal of trouble in wet weather. They are about as helpless as anything that the farmer has to deal with. But once they have made it past infancy, they are hardy and thrifty for agers. They range the length and breadth of an ordinary farm. And while they are mak- ing a turkey crop for the farm they are saving other crops as well.-Dallas News.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-13

from fifteen to fifty per cent. to our life expectancy, as the dieticians say it does, undoubtedly the added years will give us plenty of time for this study, and then some.
 There have been many books written of late regarding diet Some of these books are good and some of them not so good, but they are all of value if they direct our serious attention to this all important subject. Among the recent books that present the facts in a plain and sensible way, Girth Control by MT. Henry T. Finck takes high place. So also does Eat Your Way to Health, by Dr.. Robert Hugh Rose. In these and similar books any person will gain an idea of the importance of diet, not only for those who are stout and desire to get thin, or for those who are thin and de- sire to get stout, or for those who are sick and desire to get well, but for every person regardless of age or physical con- dition. If there is any pronounced dis tfess the specialist should be consulted: But every person owes it to his good health and happiness to know something about this intimate subject of right eat- inD

THE PERPETuATIONsOF IsMs

In spite of the Eighteenth AmehdMent the old Prohibition party has held convention and nominated a ticket. Why does it thus seek to perpetuate itself, when the object for which it was organized has been so largely accomplished? Could its members not be more effective by making their influence felt in the two great parties?
 But the ProhibitiOnists prefer, to perpet- uate their own organization at the expense of the ideal they serve. They have, moreover acquired an equipment, a literature and a personnel that have become tenacious.
 Their action illustrates why there is SC much of the state in society. It is generally recognized that the field of religion, for ex. ample, is split into too many sectarian divi siOns which have persisted long after the issues that occasioned them have disappeared When ideas become institutionalized, they have a way of becoming fixed and hard. Il is true that this makes for conservatism and sometimes for conservation, but 1t also often defeats progress.
 The perpetuation Of isms after their use fulness has ceased makes 1t difficult to se cure the needed social balance between order and progress stability and flNxibility. The Prohibitionists might well follow the ex ample of American women, who have refused to form party of their own and have chosen to work in and with the two old parties.- Minneapolis Journal.

THE FINE ART OF EATING

There is a false impression abroad that the Epicureans were given to the eating of rich foods in quantity, and the meaning of epicure is held to be one who indulges himself in fine food. This is a great injustice to Epicurus, who did in- deed preach the doctrine of sensuous en- joyment, but who found that enjoyment in moderation of all kinds and at all times, including eating. A true epicure then withholds himself from any pleas ure that gives an aftermath of pain, such as overeating. The true epicure re- strains himself from pursuing any pleas ure that would tend to injure his health and lay up in store a future of distress
 The modern theory of diet is very much like that of Epicurus, with the added advantage that scientific knowl- edge gives the dietician of today "To go on a diet" therefore, is not ordinarily a painful thing, but rather is a means of escape from pain. Instead of waiting until we are ill to diet, we should fol the sake of our own pleasure and happi- ness be on a diet all the time. That is
 we should eat only the food and the food combinations that agree with us; that keep us in perfect health; and we should avoid those that do not. It is true that this program requires some study and thought on the part of those who pre- pare our meals and on us who order our own meals. But if proper eating adds

PIRACY AMONG PIRATES

There need be no surprise that the American people decline to become ex- cited over reports of pirates footing ships of half a million dollars worth of liquors on the Jersey coast, as set forth in the news dispatches of Thursday. In this report the master of the1 e1French snug gler loaded with liquors ttld of how his crew were confined in the ships hold lat the point of guns, and kept there un- til the looters sold most of the cargo to rum runners for dashes to shore.
 It is a case of ''dog eat dog" in the minds of law-abiding citizens of this country. Foreigners and others who bring ship-loads of liquors to American waters for distribution to bootleggers, while observing the letter of the law, are knowingly violating it's spirit, and are q factor in breaking down the law of the land. They are just as guilty, morally speaking, as the bootleggers who peddle illicit liquors to purchasers on shore, who in turn are in a sense parties to con- spiracies in law-breaking.
 Those who make it possible for the illicit liquor traffic to flourish are indis- pensable to the evil. However roughly they may be treated by the pirates and hi-jackers, intelligent public opinion is no less condemnatory; of them than of those who in effect act as their agents. In fact, these wholesale sources of liquor are, much in the position of the briber who deserves no less censure than the one who accepts a bribe.
