Kelly would not let her begin on
the story of her troubles until she
had eaten. Then he piled things on

back to sit in the chair opposite
her, stuffing his pipe and looking
expectantly toward her.

Eliminates Pirates In
First Round OF Celina Tourney 1927

A determined and rangy Middle
point basketball quintet fror, Van
Vert county blasted the tourney
hopes of Bluffton high in the Sec
tional class-B basketball tournament
held at Celina last Friday night by
a score of 1927.
Middlepoint avenged their defeat
of last year handed them by the
Pirates when they were eliminated
in the opening round of the Celina
tournament. The Van Vert county
champs have won AZ of their "A
games in the past two years, their
only loss being to Bluffton.
In the second round of the tourna-
ment Middlepoint defeated st. Henry
81 to 20 for the right to. meet Lima
st. Johns in the semi-finals Friday
night. The winner will meet the
survivor of the Convoy-Lima st. Ger
ard fray in the finals Saturday night.
The riddled Bluffton team was un-
able to stop the dazzling passing at
tack and scoring onslaught of the
taller Middlepoint outfit. The Pi-
rates played without the services of
Fred Hermann, center, and Weldon
Deppler, forward, and two first
string substitutes, John Schmidt,
center, and James Hermann, guard.
Ineligibilities and injuries kept the
four players from the game.
Longstreth was the ball hawk star
of the night and Kephart's accurate
shooting accounted for "a of his
teams 50 points. Schmidt with 10
points and Burkholder with eight
were high for Bluffton.

Rot in Their RAGS

Royal India" tAppleton-
Century,, by Maud Diver, is n
book by an English Journalist
born in India that glorifies the
princes of India She is hoo
dooed completely by state
elephants, the maharajahs who
reek with pearls and diamonds
and the circus tinsel of royal
caravans and such things-while
the people rot in their rags and
the children of India cry for
milk.
This book, however. has merit,
for ii tells us the histories of the
Is principal states Of India and
their rulers. Besides, it is well
written and gives a complete
picture of the technique Of
native government in India.
What ! like about these princes
and maharaiahs is that they do
have bathtubs and their inn
mcnsc estates do have under
ground drainage.
