The best game of basket ball ever
tplayed on the local grounds was wit-
nessed here last Saturday afternoon.
The opposing teams were the Xortii
school of Chifkasha and the local
school team. The visitors showed
superior team work throughout the
tame. At the end of the first half
the score stood 11 to 11 in favor of
Cbiekasha. The Iretoti boys now got
busy and gradually pained on their
tipponents. The score was standing
ID to L'o iu favor of Chickasha and but
a few seconds to play. An lreton
guard now receivU the bali and drib-
Lied across the ground and threw goal.
The score was now :.'0 to 21 and the
timekeeper called time lreton had
won after a seeming certain defeat.
The visitors played excellent ball and
Prof. Pluck of the visitors is espt-cia'-ly
to be commended for his ability
and fairness as referee.

Telegram by United Presa.
Danville 111. March 10. Millions of
rare flowers are on display today in

"two-tate show" of Illinois and Indi-
ana florists is being held. Since the
abondoiiinent of the Cook county floral

Same as "Hot Air."
Inflated orators and sometimes
statesmen are accused of bombast.
In old England bombast was cotton-
wool used for padding or stuffing
doublets and other wearing apparel
hence the term as applied to "hot-air"
orators. The term "hot air." how-
ever is indigenous to the soil and la
purely American.
Tree That Lightning Avoids.
Natives of South Africa have said
regarding the mopane tree which is
often struck "lightning hates it;" but
they say that the morala tree is never
touched.

The Great Majority.
Any approximate estimate of the
number of persons who have died
since the beginning of the human race
Is out of the question: but there is no
doubt that their number far exceeds
that of the present population of the
world as expressed In the saying "to
go over to the great majority" I.
to die.
Origin of English Words.
An analysis of 20000 English words
taken from the New Standard 'Dic-
tionary shows that 4842 of these
words come from the Latin through
French; 3681 words are of Anglo-Saxon
and English origin; 2880 come di-
rectly from Latin; 2.493 are di-
rectly or indirectly from the Greek;
the American Indian languages sup-
ply 102 words the African languages
32 and Lithuanian ends the list with
one word to Its credit.
Advertising Effect Lost
Advertising is difficult in Central
and South America because so large
a part of the people can neither read

Editor Express:
As a subscriber and reader of your
valuable paper I venture to say that
the comprehensive report of the Debs
lecture was favorably received by ail
those of the same political affiliation
as the lecturer and those- who had
the pleasure of hearing his lecture on
the subject of "Industrial Democracy." j
However in the editorial comment on
the same It would appear that the
spirit entertained during close com-
munion with a champion of the com-
mon people had departed upon the
dawn of the business day. Most as-
suredly 'any student ' of "social
economy" can understand tht pub-
lishers of Democratic newspapers can-
not subscribe to th political doctrines
of a tip Socialist. .That would be about
as ridiculous as It would be to expect
the ow n of South American cattle to
be in fayor of a high J tective tarif
on beef. If comment upon comment
is permissible we beg leave to say
that "Gene Debs" makes no pretense
at being divine consequently his hu-
man right to use figurative speech
should not be obliterated. Editors arJ
members of the working class and we
venture to say that the "elastic cur-
rency" w ill in no way assist you when
it Is Iu operation as you are in the
wrong class. Perhaps the utterance
may be a little premature but the
speaker fully realizes that the "horny
handed sons of toll" will still be pro-
ducing Interest profit and rent w hen
it has become easier for the banker
to circulate the coin of the realm to
those with gilt edged security. You
note that "Mr. Debs addresses him-
self wholly to the working class." Whj
not? How could he do otherwise? He
is one of the working class blest with
more than the average ability of his
class and he is using his energy to
the advantage of his own class in
preference to wasting it In useless
criticism of the class that are afraid
that "Socialism means ' dividing up."
The fact that you mention the name of
Samuel Gompers as a criterion leads
me to believe that you are not keeping
posted on the "union labor" movement.
If it is a matter of personal opinion 1
respect yours and demand the same
respect. After paying dues into the
"union labor" treasury for twenty-five
years I fall to recognize Samuel Gomp-
ers as a friend to the cause he repre-
sents. Samuel Gompers has demon-
strated to the. world that he is a moral
coward and 1 predict that the political
machinery that keeps him iu motion
will Boon fall to pieces and be rele
gated to the Junk pile. Keep in closa
touch with John Mitchell and you will
find yourself in a crowd that believes
In the downfall of the capitalist sys-
tem and the establishment of an In
dustrial Democracy. It is true mat
revolutions are not the creation of a
day but that revolution is taking place
iu the mind of John Mitchell cannot
be gainsaid and he will'soon be with
the "working class."
Preachers are admitting that they
cannot say what they wish to in the
pulpit and we Socialists don't expect
editors to comment in detriment to
their personal economic interest.

It's Unsafe to Laugh at Others.
. Dr. A. R. Taylor a foremost west-
ern educator and for many years pres-
ident of the Kansas State Normal
fchool in Emporia lls this story:
"As I was walk:ig down town one
day. Just a fetv steps ahead of me was
a fine old gentleman in silk hat and
broadclotn who had a most absurd
poster p'nned on his back contrasting
oddly with hiB dignified bearing. Just
then around the corner came a young
fellow with an even more ridiculous
poster pinned to his back. Being ig-
norant of his own decoration the
youngster immediately began laugh-
ing at the older man.
"So I fell to moralizing" says Dr.
Taylor "deducting something like
this: 'Could we but see ourselves as
others see us we would often change
the theme of our discourse.' Then as
I stepped Into a butcher Bhop the pro-
prietor called out to me: 'Good morn-
ing. Dr. Taylor. Why what s this the
boys have been pinning on your
back?" Kansas City Star.
Island Paradise of Birds.
On one little island In Gatun lake
formerly know n as Lion Hill before
the impounded waters of the Chagres
river isolated It from the rest of the
Canal Zone are more species of birds
than in any one locality In the west
ern hemisphere. E. A. Goldman of the j
biological survey department of agri-
culture in two short collecting trips
to Panama has procured about 300
different species and H la estimated
that a larger variety is to be found
within the limits of the Canal Zona
than in any one state in the I'nited
States about 900.
In the neighborhood of Gatun at the
Atlantic entrance of the Canal Zone
no less than 250 species have been
fouud.
No Swiss . Language.
The Swiss nation is wfthout a lan-
guage. The official languages are Ger-
man French and Italian these three
being the recognized "mother-tongue"
of the majority or the inhabitants.
About three-fourths of the people
speak German while the remainder
divide four other languages among
thera mainly French and Italian.
Public documents and notices are
printed in both the French and tier-
man languages. In the Sts3 National
Parliament the members make their
speeches either In French or German
for nearly all the members under-
stand both these languages.

New Way of Finding Water.
An Arizona observer has found out
how M tell by the mesquite whether
water I near the surface or not. When
the mequite grows up into tree form
the ground water lies within fifty feet
of the surface but if it remains a
shrub prospects for finding water are
not so good. We are always learning
that every natural phenomenon has
meaning for us. if we can. only read
the meaning. Farm and Fireside.
