Indiana won its first basketball
game from Purdue in 1905. after the
Boilermakers had taken eight
straight. The Old Gold and Black
FIVE started another streak in 1908
that was stopped by the second
game in 1914 after twelve straight
wins" had been hung up.
Then, from 1917 until 1923, eight
straight were won. Purdue has
scored q total OF 1886 points to 1888
counted by the Crimson.
Purdue never has lost two straight
games to the Crimson. but there is
little doubt but that the Boilernqak-
ers.- after losing the first tilt several
weeks ago, will be hard pressed next
Friday. Indiana is the favorite
among the State dopesters.

Rain Comes As WeleomeeRelief.

Rain that fell all forenoon Thurs
day, the first SINCE six weeks ago
today, brought some relief to a much
dried up part of the country, proving
of inestimable value to crops and also
helping to put out forest fires that
were gaining Roadway in the country
surrounding.
Although communities but a short
distance from as have had rain at
frequent intervals during the sum
mer, the Gogebic iron range country
has experienced an exceptionally
long dry period that threatened to
prove disastrous to crops. The hay
crop, which has already been
harvested, fell far short, the estimat-
ed crop being less than one-third of
the average Potato and other farm
products were beginning to show the
lack of rain and garden products in
general have suffered. The rain
Thursday came as a welcome relief
to a condition that looked discourag-
ing.

Street improvements.

Among the street improvements
noted in the city is the grading of
Magnetic street between Sixth and
Eighth avenues and parts Of Sixth
and Seventh avenues. Residents in
this neighborhood have urged the
city fathers for several years past to
have this work done, but for one
reason or another it has been put off.
Another piece of street improve
ment in this part of the city which
has been completed is the laying of
curbing on Copper street between
Sixth and Seventh avenues. This
new Improvement helps to alleviate
a condition that resulted when this
street was graded. So much of the
dirt was taken off that II left the
sidewalks on the south side several
feet above the level of the streets,
thus mountaineering residence
owners in driving in and out.
A section Of Second avenue north
Of Oak street has also been graded.
A number Of new residences have
been erected in this part Of the city
within the past few years and street
improvements were needed badly.
Except the Improvements noted
the city has been unable to do any
street work this year on account of
lack Of finances.

Lessons Learned Too Late.

Why is i the average young man,
when near maturity, has an intense
longing for life in the big city?
Why is it that millions of men of
maturity in the city have an equally
intense longing for the peace and
quietude of the rural districts they
left in their younger days?
The country town does not blaze
with the bright lights of life as do
the big cities. 1t is quiet and sub
dued in comparison.
It's citizens words are as good as
their bond and their regulations
stand high in the sight of their fell
lowmen, but the variety and excite
ment that appeals to youth is too
often missing. Hence young men
and women become fretful and i'm
patient Of restraint, and finally break
the home ties and rush into the mael-
strom Of metropolitan existence.
Once in the large city, possibly
one in ten meet with a comfortable
measure of success as the world
views it, and few forge gradually
to the front In time these few are
known to the world as self made
men. The other nine are not so for
tunate.
Opportunities are numerous, it is
true. but where there is one oppor-
tunity, there are scores of young
men waiting to grasp it. COMPETE
ton is highly developed.
Thus the great majority Of young
men from the country who go to the
city expecting to set the world on
fire find that about the best they
i can do is to burn the candle at both
ends.
Too proud to go back home and
confess failure. they plug along and
do the best they can, disillusioned
and wiser, but no better off.
They are the millions who later in
life long for the peace and quiet OF
the home town they left in their
youth.
The remedy is simple enough. Ev-
cry small community can hold its
young people by supplying some OF
the things that lure them away; by
not expecting them to work any
harder than they would have to il
they went to a city for employment
by making the hours of employment
no longer than the city's.
/ Young men and women will keep
''up with the times" They demand
the conyeniences and the recreations
that their big city brothers and sis
ters enjoy If they are not supplied
at home, they will seek them else
where when they grow old enough to
support themselves.
Life is full Of changes and there
is only one end for the people who
are not willing to change with the
times
