PLAYS | DELPHOS TEAM Local Tossers In Contest Tonight; Celina Team Here Friday Night Coach Linn and nine members of the Catholic high school basketball squad will leave in automobiles at 5 o’clock this evening for Delphos, 0., where they will meet the St. John’s high school five of that city, tonight. The locals were determined to win another game from the St. John's | quintet, which they defeated in Delphos in November. Since that time I both teams have improved and a good contest is expected. On Friday night the St. John’s team defeated the Ottoville, Ohio, high school five by a score of 42 to 7. In commenting on the game the Delphos Herald says: “If they can show the same speed and teamwork and have a little better luck on the baskets next Tuesday night, there is little doubt that they will be able to secure revenge for the defeat handed them by Decatur on the first appearance of the Hoosier lads here.” The following players will be taken on the trip to Delphos tonight: Captain Christen, Myers, Holthouse. Schulte, Voglewede, Appleman, Sneider, Mylott and Laurent. Wemhoff, center, is on the sick list and was unable to make the trip. On next Friday night, December 29, the Celina Catholic high five will come to Decatur for a game witli Coach Linn's team. The Celina team is fast but is not considered as hard a team to beat as the St. John's quintet from Delphos.

Bryant Government Agricultural Statistician (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Dec. 26. —Tobacco is one of the most important of the minor crops produced in some of the southern counties of the state. In Clark, Dearborn, Floyd, Franklin, Harrison, Jefferson, Jennings, Ohio, Ripley and Switzerland counties, the , bulk of the hurley type of tobaccos is grown and in Crawford, Dubois, Greene, Perry. Pike, Spencer and Warrick counties th e main part of the one sucker type of tobacco is produced, while in Randolph county a small amount of cigar type tobacco is grown. A few other counties produce a small amount of tobacco, but it is more for home use than for the trade. The hurley and one sucker type are used in the manufacture of chewing tobaccos and for snuffs. Some cigarettes are also manufactured from the burley type. Much of the one sucker type is exported to Europe and Africa in a partially manufactured state when quite a heavy demand exists for it.
