 Defeat Lewis High

Tho South church defeated the Lewis high school quintet. cS-cG, last night In one of the flercest and closest battles of the season, two extra periods being necessary before the locals finally gained the upper hand. The game was close all the way, Mith first one side and then the other making a short squirt, but Lewis high lcd from the orenina whistle until there was a minute left 10 play in the final half,
 L0nky Adams again starred for the South church, his pair of field goals in the final session proving' the margin of victory. Captain Parker Chalkcd up four field goals, while Klcist was the only other To- cal hoy 10 break into the scoring. Havlick, q new man in the South church lineup, played a whirlwtnd game and proved a decided acquist- tion. Wilks and Cooley put up q good defensive and passing game. but both had terrible luck with their shots, the ball going in and out again in tantalizng fashion.
 Hamln, the Lewis captain, tossed in seven field goals, while his mate. Nelson showed some pretty floor work; he was closely guarded. how ever, and was rarely able 10 get away for d score. Roth teams played somewhat spotty basketball, bad slips being atoned for an instant la- ter by nice passing and shooting.
 Hamlin began the game in light ning-ike fashion by cutting in un- der the basket to score twice in sue Cession. Adams started the South church with field goal, but Hamlin added a point by the free throw route. Adams tossed ~ another and so did Hamlin. The quarter closed with the visitors leading. "A. Tark- CT started the second period with a basket from the center of the floor, but Bowers nullitied this by taking a nice pass and scoring an easy goal. Hamin broke loose again 10 count, and 1t was 13-S. Kleist put the To- calls back in the running with a field goal and d foul making ii 13-11 at the half.
 Havlick replaced Wllks in the third quarter. which was fast and rough, Nelson who had been held scorcless from the floor in the first half, broke loose at last and scored two field and two foul goals, but Adams. Parker and kleist kept the locals right on the visitors heels. t vas 16-15 as the last quarter open cd. Wilks returned in place Of Klaist Lewis high shot ahead to %. and then the South church ral- lied. Adams registered thrice from the foul line. Parker drihbled the whole length of the floor 10 count land then Adams knotted the score with a folIow-up tap just before the uhistlo.
 Iii the first overtime period, Park CT gent the Corgregationalists ahead for the first time hy scoring from afeld but Nelson tied it I'D with difficult shot from deep in the cor ner. Parker fouled King, but the latter blew hie free shot and the whistle sounded again. 4 second extra semester was necessary, and Adams went right in to sink two field goals in succession. A minute later Harlin flashed through again to make it cS-cs, but the South church got the ball and held it until the final T,hlstle. The score.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

with the death on Sunday of William jennings Rrvan
mas lost one OF its most forceful thinkers, one of its
mos prominent politicians and a man who had the power to
sway his audience to greater depths than any other m a who
ever enjoyed the limelight of American politics. William Jen-
rhes Bryan, three times nominee for president of the United
o y les, and three times defeated, played a big part in the history
figured in Democratic politics, and since that time has been tbe
foremost leader in that political organization.
MIR. Bryan was not a politician. He was an idealist and a
reioTmer. he had original ideas and convictions, and he could
10 De swayed from his opinions. On many of the questions
which seemed paramount in his mind during their dav. he NAV
have been right, or he may have been in error, but the out
standing thing which it is well that all should remember is that
the personal life of William Jennings Bryan, during his entire
political career, was always above reproach, that never was there
the slightest question as to his integrity of purpose, and that
he always stood for those things which go to make men better
and consequently happier.

H HOME PAPER

Men everywhere are coming more and more to understand
and appreciate the influence of the rural press in the affairs of
this country.
Only a few years ago we were told that the local newspaper
was ~passing-that it could not compete with the daiies and
weeklies of the big cities-and that it must yield to the inev-
liable.
But the prophets were wrong. 1t is true that the local
daily or weekly cannot supply in detail all of the news of the
lions and features.
And yet the local paper is still with US, and it is growing
in strength and usefulness as the years go by. Some of the
reasons for its existence are summed up in this paragraph from
an exchange:
"The local paper should be found in every home. No chill
dren should grow up ignorant who can be taught to appreciate
the home paper. 1t is said to be the stepping stone of intel
lgence in all those matters not to be found in books. Give your
children a foreign paper which contains not a word about any
person, place or thing which they never saw or perhaps never
heard of, and how could you expect them to be interested. But
let them have the local paper and read of people whom they meet
and of places of which they are familiar and soon an interest is
awakened which increases with every arrival of the local paper.
Thus a habit of reading is formed and those children will read
the papers all their lives and become intelligent men and women,
a credit to their ancestors, strong in the knowledge of the world
as it is today
