REPORT 2,000 LIVES

Archangel, Russia, Oct. 11.—Two
thousand lives have been ^ost in the
wreck of an unnamed British ship on
the Norweigen coast, according to a
wireless dispatch received here from
Helsingers. If the loss of life report-
ed in the foregoing dispatch is as large
as indicated the disaster will mark a
new record in sea annals.
The largest recorded loss of life at
sea occurred when the Titanic sunk
April 4th, 1912, the death list showing
1,503 names. The Lusitana sunk by a
German submarine May 12, 1915, car-
ried down over 1,200 people.
Home.— Intermittent and sporadic
strikes, which have produced through-
out Italy conditions in some instances
approximately Bolshevism, in others a
kind ol social' ,m and in still others
localized anarchy have given Italian
political economists and statesmen
new spurs to study and remedial ac-
tion.
There has been "rule without rule"
according to foreign observers. The
government agencies long established
for the administration of public af-
fairs existed but failed to function.
Municipal authorities, communal of-
ficials and representatives of the state
admitted they were helpless to deal
with the usual situations which
rendered inactive the prerogatives of
those in power. Striking workmen
forced demands upon the helpless com
mereial class it is pointed out, while
the authorities merely looked "in
abedience to the will of the dis-
turbers."
The organizations throughout Italy
(that planned the newest departure in
J govern mental and economic adminis-
tration were styled Camera del Lavoro.
A literal translation would define
them as chambers of labor but their
functions went much beyond the
province of labor, as one ordinarily
conceives that province, and extended
so far that prices were arbitrarily
fixed and the sale of commodities or-
dered.
The merchant seems to have been
the one who has suffered most by the
adventure." His stocks were com-
mandered by the Camera del Lavoro,
if he dfd not show the disposition to
sell at the prices fixed by that organi-
zation, In most cases, the arbitrary
reduction of fifty percent was exacted
on all commodities regardless of the
cost of the goods, the condition of the
market or the rate of foreign exchange
or any of the factors which determine
selling prices. There were examples
of forced reductions as low as seventy
per cent but these were few.

The football game Friday afternoon
'between Drumright and Stillwater, re-
sulted in n victory for the local high
school 12 to 7.
| During the first half the Drumright
Jboys failed to show their old-time form
and fight and the Stillwater team
scored a touchdown on an intercepted
jtorward pass which was caught on the
I thirty-five jard line,
j No more scoring was done the first
half, the whistle glowing with the ball
I in possession of Drumright on Still-
water's thirty-five yard line.
I The second half opened with Still
j water receiving at the north goal. They
were downed in their tracks by the
Drumright team which was an entirely
j different bunch from the one that
j fought to indifferently during the first
half, the local boys realizing that they
jhad to really fight to win. Stillwater
jwas held for downs and Drumright
! started their march to the goal by
j short end runs and line plunges,
White, for Drumright plunging for
jfrom five to ten yards on every at-
tempt. Drumright was held for downs
I on Stillwater's ten yard line and Still-
j water kicked out of danger repeatedly.
| The fight that the Drumright boys
I were putting up had begun to tell on
the Stillwater team and it could be
iPla.nly seen that they were fighting
jlor time and the much needed pep
that was running out of their systems
jfrom the terrific blows their line re-
ceived at the hands of Drumright's
backfield on every down.
No soorir ivas done by either side
during th ■ 1 quarter, but the open-
ing of fhe .i th quarter showed that
the Drumright boys were not to bo
| denied as they were putting all the
fight that was left in them into the
contest. With o"' six minutes to
play the fireworks started. Cunning-
ham of Drumright passed successfully
to Bateman who carried the hall to
within one foot of the goal. With the
valuable help of White and Jeffries.
Cunningham plunged over for Drum-
right's first touchdown. Drumright
failed to kick goal. The score was now
fi to 7 in favor of Stillwater. Still.
|water received at the south goal.
I Drumright held Stillwater for four
downs without giving an inch of terri-
| tory.
Drumright took the ball with only
! minutes to play and on the second
play Cunningham again passed to Jet-
ties who carried the ball to within
six inches of a touchdown Cunning-
ham plunged over center fo:- the win-
ning touchdown. Score 12 to 7 in favor
of Drumright. White, who is probably
one of the best Hich School players in
|the state formed the backbone of
Drumright's defense, Foerester play-
Jed an excellent game at light tackle.
Bateman and Brown also played' their
positions well. Fisher at center passed
the ball without a fumble the whole
game.
i A good sized crowd for such incle-
ment weather cheered the boys to a
victory when cheers were needed.
The rain fell throughout the whole of
the last half.
The next game will be Friday, Oct.
17, with Guthrie at Bo(o3ter Pa.rk-
A large attendance is expected.
