FIELD A? GOALS / e » J A iL. ■ \ /Jr\ MarkM.JTpp „ rj */ To do one thing and to do it well is better than to do several things and <io none of them well, it Is said. The Yellow Jackets did some foul goal tossing Saturday night and did it mighty well, sinking 12 out of a possible 17, but they didn't do much else worth mentioning. On the other hand, the Huntington Vik|*gs did a little field goal shooting, tried to shoot fouls and were caught doing a little intercepting of passes, but a little interecute any one well enough, and the Yellow Jackets won. t Kendallville is coming to town Friday night to meet the Yellow Jackets, with a record unsoiled this season. The upstaters registered victories over Auburn and Bluffton over the week-end. The Yellow Jackets must show considerable improvement this week if they expect to defeat the Kendallville crew. The Bluffton Tigers held Kendallville to a nine-point victory on the latter's floor Saturday night, so a victory for Decatur next Friday night is possible. The Catholic high Commodore!) go to Fostoria. Ohio, next Friday night, to meet the Buckeyes in a return engagement. Since the locals didn't have much trouble with the Fostoria crew here last week, they are expecting to mark up their sixteen straight victory Friday night. Jefferson, Kirkland. Monmouth Pleasant Mills, and Geneva have open dates this week-end. • Momoe will invade Wells county again Friday night, to play the Petroleum Zippers. The Berne Fighting Five is scheduled to play hosts to the strong Quaker quintet from Fairmount, Friday night. Fairmount has oeen going good this Mason, and Berne will have to step to turn in a victory. The Hartford Gorillas also invade Wells county this week, playing it Rockcreek Friday night. The Bloomington Panthers relinquished hold on flhe Victory ’ Brick, Saturday night, and the roving hunk of clay now reposes in Washing- , ton. Meager reports coming from Frankfort say that Frankfort defeated Logansport Saturday night, 10-7. An article in the Chicago Tribune states that police had difficulty in preventing a riot at the end of the game. When Frank'prt and Logansport play a game and the score is 10-7, there wasn't any game to it. The low-down on the contest has not been forthcoming, so far, but soon we will know what it was all about. i We are indebted to Rip Offs, of the Bluffton News, for a nice photograph . of each high school team in Wells ■ county. Thanks, Rippy> t —\ The Vellow Jackets made 54 attempts at the basket, in the game with Huntington Saturday night, and rang the bell only seven times. Huntington had 46 attempts and scored 10 . times. Neither record is worth bragsi ing about. Joe Krick Decatur back I guard, had the best record. He took > seven shots at the basket and scored I on throe. I George Purcell, in his column CasI ual Comment, in the Bloomington I World, says "some outstanding free . tickets to the state tourney” have . been issued as a result of the state board's action fn increasing the numoer of regiJnals from eight to sixteen. : In connection with this remark, he I says, "At Außuin regional, Angola, • Kendallville, Lagrange and Milford I are slated. Its a darned poor guess . we could make for that's off our reservations.” You might be surprised,

Jan. 17 —(United Press.) —The Indiana public service commission, in an order issued late Friday, authorized a new schedule of freight-Tates on iron and steel arranged on a group of district basis, which, it is claimed, will enable manufacturers and shippers of these commodities in Indiana to compete on an equal basis with Illinois manufacturers. y In addition, Indiana interests will have the advantage of new and In some cases lower rates than have hitherto been in effect in this state. The order will result n approximately 20 per cent decrease in rates within th e state fro mproducing points not now enjoying commodity rates and on a number of items on which the fifth class rates now apply. o —- San Francisco Harbor To Be Deepened Soon San Francisco, Jan. 17 (U P.) — Trans-Paciflc travelers who have wondered why ships tometimes slowdown on approaching the coast or why they proceed so slowly through the Golden Gatejnto the harbor will wonder no more. The federal government has just authorized the deepening of the harbor and the removal of shoals which made extreme caution necessary in any but the fairest weather. Dredges will soon begin deepening the harbor to 40 feet and when the work is completed at a cost of several millions of dollars, there will be a channel 2,000 feet wide from the Golden Gate along the entire water front. o Get the Habit—Trade at Heme, ItFaya

Gene Stratton Porter’s Makes Go Hollywood, Calif.. Jan. I*.—At the < lose of a year that has brought forth many far-reaching achievements in the motion picture world, a newspapertnan has been singled out for the honor of directing and producing the picture that has brought the greatest i eturn at the box office. Heading a Hat of 104 pictures, selected by exhibitors all over the country as the "biggest money makers of 1926" through the Exhlbitora Herald, n. trade publication, is the "Keeper of the Bees," directed and produced by Leo Meehan, publisher of the Pasadena Morning Sun. The list offers some startling rev- < lations at the close of a year which lound Hollywood in a mad scramble for foreign directors, stars and atmosphere. With the voice of the movie public asserting itself through ihe all-important medium of the box office, the trend toward subtle and rophislcated productions bearing the foreign Influence will undoubtedly receive a setback. If the list is any criterion, the American movie'fan wants the simple ‘‘home-grown’’ type of romance with plenty of comedy and a production built on historical facts now and then. • Second to "Keeper of the Bees” ranked "The Cohens and Kellys,” indicating that the influence of "Abie’s Irish Rose,” and stories of this bent still hold a grip on the public. Meehan, the son-in-law of the late Gene Stratton Porter, author of "Keeper of the Bees," ventured into the picture business without any experience and mainly to carry out the wish of Mrs. Porter, that the picture be brought to the screen without distortion of the story. The story came to the screen in its original form and its success indicates that the warning to picture producers who buy successful books for their titles alone, and change the story to fit their needs, has not been over emphasized. Oust of 104 the first twenty pictures ranked as follows: "Keeper of the Bees.” "The Cohens and Kellys," "Behind the Front,” “The Vanishing American,” "The Son of the Sheik,” "The Volga Boatman.” "The Lost World,” "The Pony Express,” "The Iron Horse," "Charley's HANDS CRACKED?

None is no meaty. A million facts in its 900 pages. Try it out and see. The Almanac for 1927, edited by Robert Hunt Lyman for the fifth year, will answer more questions than any of Its predecessors. Yet, In form, size, excellence of paper clearness of type, clarity and conciseness of statement, it is the same handy, necessary reference book for the home, the schoolroom, the factory, the farm, the office and the travel-ing-bag. Within arm’s reach one has a mine of readily accessible information. The record of the year is full and complete—the diary of 1926, the list of the noted dead, the benefactions, the amazing record of scientific progress and of the famous flights over the North Pole. The foreign loans floated in America (over a billion 'dollars) are listed in the financial and econmic review of a wonderfully prosperous year. The government figures, rosters and articles have been revised by government officials — notably those setting forth the working of the National prohibition act "auring the year.
