O- — BASKETBALL IS KING SPORT Thousand Teams In Action In State Os Indiana This Year By Hoze Clark (Written or the United Press) Indianapolis, Jan. 12. —No game has ever won the place in the center of the athletic stage in Indiana equal to basketball. It has been estimated that there are from 400 to 600 high school basketball games in the state each week. There are at least 400 independent teams in action in various cities and every college in Indiana that attempts anything in athletics has a basketball team. The class of basketball playied by teams in Indiana colleges appears to grow better each year. Butler’s vic-1 tories over Wisconsin, Illinois and Chi cago. the victory of Notre Dame over lowa and Wabash' wonderful record ■ - , made on its southern trip prowb that the best basketball in the country is played in Indiana. This is due to the splendid system used in conducting the annual high school tournaments. It might be men tioned that Indiana also leads in independent baseball. The time for some of the most im-1 portant games of the season seems to i fawe-Jjecn reached. Tonight. Butler, plays Purdue at Lafayette. On January 15. Purdue starts its Big Ten confer ence season, meeting Northwestern at Lafayette. Possibly no game will attract a larger crowd, than one between Inddinnapolis Omars and Wabash at Tomlin-1 son hall in Indianapolis, January 13. The record made by these two wonder-. ful basketball teams have been equalled by few outfits in the game. Indiana will play Illinois University, at Urbana. January 13. This game, should prove a fast one and if Indiana - can win. they will be real championship contenders. Notre Dame has one I of the best basketball teams in its > history. Notre Dame will play Armour at Notre Dame January 15. Butler will meet Rose. Poly at Indianapolis, January 15. WANT ADS EARN—s—s—J — 111 — —-«v

May a merciful hand blot out their mistakes.’’ The woman referred to was Mrs. Julia Nelson of Muncie, Indiana's first woman in the legislature. Another placard said:: ‘-'His jacet dead bills, "Some were good "And some were rotten. "Some remembered,-— "Some forgotten. "Some are safel ylaid away, "But some will rise another day.

SHORT COURSE ENDS TODAY _ | Annual Farmers’ Short Course At Purdue University Closes — Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 12.—Annual ‘ meetings of the four dairy cattle breeders’ associations, and a series of practical demonstrations on various farm practices, concluded the twentyi ninth annual farmers’ short course at ! Purdue University here this afternoon. The attendance for the week will far exceed the 1000 mark, but definite 'tabulated figures will not be availableI for a day or two. The dairy organizations holding their meetings were Hol-' stein-Friesian. Ayrshire, Jersey and' Guernsey breeders’ associations. The morning program opened with' i classes in corn and livestock judging ;t or the'corn growers and stockmen. I Tlie dairymen heard a discussion of [the value of milk for hogs and poultry ‘- -<r Vestal and Prof. A. G. Philips ■from the animal husbandry and poultry staffs, respectively. Prof. William [ Aitkcnhead described the making of | electrfttity by a generator run from a! ; windmill, while Prof. S. D. Connor ■ spoke on fertilizers to use for potatoes, i F. C. Gaylord discussed potato seed 1 Mocks, aud Mrs. Charles A. Kintner, ‘of Corydon, discussed handling farm 1 Jock. Dr. B. H. Hibbard, of the University of Wisconsin, spoke on “Fulure Prices of Farm Products.” H. W. Fitting gave a demonstration of grading and packing eggs for shipment. P. G. Riley spoke on summer care of chicks. Several members on the home economics staff spoke on menu making in the home; Prof. Mary L. Matthews dis- ; cussed arrangement Os furniture in | the home; Miss Nellie Flanuingham lof the Purdue staff, gave a millinery I demonstration, such as is given at farm meetings over the state. Mrs. Kinter, speaking before the poultry section, urged the keeping of 200 or 300 hens on the farm, rather than 50 to 100 as is done many places. This number may be taken care of with the same labor as 100 and return more profit, she said. Prof. Aitkenhead. discussing farm lighting, described the wind mill farm power pl«nt which was being tested at Purdue. The generator is on top o£ the windmill and stores up electric t-urrcift when the wind turns the! wheel. This current is stored in batteries and used for farm lighting and power. “The records show several successive quiet days in September when I Hie (dcctrft-ity stored in the batteries had to be conserved, but during most of the months, more power was supplied then was necessary for lighting and small power requirements.” he said. "This application of wind power is still young but the indications are that the wipdmill Jias taken on a newjob. which it can successfully hold down.” OUGHT TO 'bE~ENOUGH Warsaw, hid., Jan. 12.—The will of the late Laura Wertenberger, of Mentone, contained a provision that . not more than SSOO may be expended for a monument for her grave.
