Triumph Over
County Rival
Giants Gain Tenth Straight
Win; Southport Plays
VaIpo Tonight.

Ben Davis High Schools basket
ball team was attracting statewide
interest today as Giant followers
celebrated their warriors tenth
consecutive victory of the season.
The Giants registered their tenth
and most pleasing" triumph last
night when they finished strong to
whip Southport, bitter county rival.
81 to Is, at the Washington High
gym.
Southport was stepping high in
the first half and held an 1917 ad-
vantage at intermission. Moore
and Kreil were outstanding for Ben
Davis. Reno and Webb were best
for Southport.
The Cardinals will have an op-
portunity to avenge the setback
when the rivals clash again on
Jan. 2. Tonight the Cards en-
terrain Valparaiso in the first net
game ever played between the two.
Interest in the fracas is high, due
to the fact that Coach Powell of
Valpo is a Whiteland High School
graduate, and Roy B. Julian, Valpo
superintendent, is former South
port principal.
Immediately following the game.
Bedford High School and Southport
Wrestlers are to tussle in a team

winds up with XII becoming the

As XII acts as a screen, X-3 cuts

and O-3 then must switch to XII;
in doing so, he puts XII between

used the first money he made as a
boy from a cotton patch to send him
self to school where he studied me-
chanics.
From obscurity to fame, these
Oklahoma farm boys worked them
selves up until world mourns their
death. The formula Of success they
used is one on which the foundations
of the United States is laid: hard
work and common sense. Too often
we see little fame or little success
going to the heads of those who have
achieved it until a career is ruined
before it is well on it's way. With all
of the acclaim Of the country, Will
Rogers remained plain Will Rogers.
He refused a dress suit and would
appear at the most fashionable gath
erings with his usual dark blue suit
on, yet his reputation for honesty and
love of his fellow man was unques-
TONED.
The life of Will Rogers and Wiley
Post should hold a challenge to the
youth of today that where there is a
will there is way and that such a
way can best be found by honesty,
love of humanity, and being ones self
instead of patterning after some one
else.

MAP OF COUNTY
MUCH NEEDED

James Allen, county surveyor, has
made a blue print of Ashe county
that has long been needed and one
that many citizens will be glad to
know is in existence. The map has
a good deal of information about the
county on it that is also of interest.
It is learned that the schools in the
county will be furnished with these
maps and that many Of the leading
business houses in the various towns
are ordering them. Offices in the
courthouse have put in orders.
Too little is known about our
county while the children here are
taught about the Euphrates and the
Tigris rivers in foreign countries.
They need to know more of the New
River and its history.
Until Mr.. Allen made the present
map it was almost impossible to
find map of the county land only
one had been seen recently that was
considered authenic. 1t was not where
it could be located when the Allen
map was made. 1t is interesting to
know that such a map is now avail
able.

POSSIBILITIES

Everything new that has industrial

one of the most forward steps that

If the scenic highway is built, en-
gineers and road men will be with US

a tourist summer trade is great. But
the hotels and boarding houses of the
Jeffersons are crowded and rent
houses are at premium. Many would
build and could make money out of
building, but from whence the
money?
