Evans. •Oxygen tanks were delivered at the singer’s apartments, and two priests arrived. Caruso’s wife, formerly Dorothy Park Benjamin, society girl, was constantly at his bedside. The Oil Fields Os Old Kentucky (Continued from page one) made by Mr. Thomas verified. Ten or a dozen Adams county men have invested in the company and there is still about $15,000 that can be had by those desiring it, if they will let Mr. Thomas know. By calling at the Equity office you can talk the matter over with the men who have visited the property. As soon as the options are taken over the two wells will be drilled and a meeting will be called for the organization of a company. It is Mr. Thomas's desire that the officers be chosen from this community. F. A. Peoples will return to the Scottsville field with Mr. Thomas to look it over and it z is predicted he will be as enthusiastic over prospects as those who have been there. No one is permitted to have more than SI,OOO interest in the company nor less than SIOO. The options are now in the hands of Mr. Duckett who has furnished a $50,000 bond thus protecting every one who invests. Mr. Thomas is a man of pleasing personality and. it is safe to predict that a number from here will soon have an interest in this new project. The wells in this field are only 300 to 400 feet deep and the investment per well is but $1,200.

FRIENDS PROFIT BY GOOD ADVICE Mrs. Love Says Those Whom She Recommended Tanlac to Were All Greatly Benefited “Several of my friends to whom 1 recommended Tanlac have already been greatly benefited by tho use of the medicine, und I just want others to know about it also,” said Mrs J. F. Love, residing at 225 W. Berry street, Fort Wayne, in relating iter gratifying experience with Tanlac. "Three years ago I started going down hill, and just kept getting worse until I was in a badly rundown condition. I had little strength or energy, felt tired and worn out all the time, and some days it was just all I could do to drag around and look after my housework. Frequently I became s-> dizzy everything turned dark before my eyes, and I would have to be still for a bit before I could move on. Then, last winter I had a severe attack of the influenza, which made matters much worse for me, and I took so many medicines without any relief I was just at a loss what to do next. “However. I heard about Tanlac, and although I’m just now only on my fourth bottle of the medicine, I'm feeling better than I have in a long time. I have a wonderfgul appetite, never suffer from dizziness and that tired draggy feeling lias completely disappeared. I simply think Tanlac is the grandest medicine in the world, and I believe it’s my duty to let others know about it. for I heard about it myself throguh the statement of others.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith. Yager & Falk's; in Berne at Stengel & Craig's; in Geneva at F. C. Deitsch’s and in Monroe at O. O. Hocker's.

I S FORTNEW S The Count/ Tourney Next. All attention in local basket ball circles is now centered on the county tournament to bo staged in this city next Friday und Saturday, February 18 and 19Sh. With tho defeat of the Monroe high school eagers at the liunds of the locals Monday night, the tournament becomes all the more complicated, and who will prove to bo tho winner of the six high school to uns entered in tlie tournament cannot be decided until the final game. The tournament promises to be tho best ever staged in this city us all teams are evenly matched, and each a claimant for the honors. On Frl lay, tho opening night, the Monroe high school and tho Kirkland high school boys will battle as will tho Gene'-a high school and the local high sc’iocl eagers. The winners of these two contests will clash Saturday afternoon, and it the Monroe boys defeat the Kirkland outfit, and the locals succeed in eliminating the Geneva team, Monroe and Decatur will again mix for the second time this week. If the Geneva boys put the locals out of thj mnning and clash with the Monroe team, an equally as thrilling a contest is promised and will prove a bactlJ to the finish. The girls and the eighth grade teams will also participate foi county honors and the tournament promises to be one grand affair . Season tickets which entitle the holder to the reserved scats for even game on the schedule are now on sal" for one dollar each. Single admission tickets will be sold at the J .or only before each game. "Bruff” Cleary, well known in official basket ball circles and who ' has made a home with the local fa if during the season with his splenl.d . work, has been secured to officiate a! 1 tho meet. The high school manage ; ment are to be congratulated on the i securing of ‘‘Bruff’’ for with him the tournament is sure to be a success. ■ Ilan to attend every game. Secu.’e ■ your season ticket tonight. Tied for First Place. • Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 16. — Ind- ■ iana University basket ball team was 1 tied with Illinois for first position in ’ the Big Ten conference as a rosuil • of its victory over Ohio State ne.. r last night 33 to 11. I Another One interested. • The Sporting Editor, Democrat; — ! For the last two or three nights t some very interesting articles on the coming county tournament have ap- ’ peared in your paper and each Writer ■ apparently likes' the idea of boosting j his home team, but is wri'ing to bow to the winner even though that team does not happen to be the one for • whom the writer is boosting. I am glad to see that such a spirit prevails but here is one,thing besides the good sportmanship end of the game that 1 bears some consideration. In nearly all the games played throughout this county in which the teams have been apparently matched some people get more enjoyment out ' of the result of a good financial venture than they do out of the result ' of the game itself. The desire of funs to turn a good contest, played en- ‘ tire’y because of the interest the game itself produces through friendly ' rivalry and the much talked of “sportmanship," into a money-making proposition detracts from the good results of a contest and brings followers through hopes of financial gain. The desire of gain financially has been the downfall of many sports. Few fans have forgotten the baseball scandal of last summer which temporarily threat- . entid to disorganize the national ’ pastime. Professional sports lose their attractiveness when money enters as the really big purpose. Why is it necessary for the gambling element to swing the interest of a good - basket ball contest into a frenzied truygle for a few.dollars? The state , basket hall association urges school authorities to curb tirfs growing epidemic as much as possible lor they •an ;i.e the eventual results of such J practices. I am a fan mainly becaue I like the sport and attend games for this rea- ? son only. Why is it necessary to i draw tne glory of a good clean-cut victory away from a well deserving five solely because of a "mistake in placing yjeur money?” ANOTHER- INTERESTED FAN. Game Tonight Postponed. The basket ball .game that had been scheduled to be played tonight between the-local high school, eagers and the Kendallville high school teams has been postponed according to word received from tho local high school officials today. The cause of the postponement is based on tho fact that the locals have a busy week before .them, the county tournament. being staged Friday and Saturday and would |

be unable to meet the Kuudullville boys at this time. Capt. Richmond of Fort Wayne, our advertising specialist, was here today to look utter his patrons.
