HIGH SCHOOL INTEREST CENTERS IN TOURNAMENT

Hundreds of Indiana high school basket ball fans are flocking to the banner of the Franklin high school five as their favorite in the coming state title bouts, due to the latter’s decisive win over the Scotsburg quintette by the crushing score of 32 to 13. Scotsburg had shown strong until meeting the Franklin five and had downed many teams. Columbus has a great many backers also, due to the fact that they have four of last year’s team on this year’s five. Rochester is another team that may come under the wire a winner, and Valparaiso has such । an imposing record that they must not be overlooked when scanning the contents of the dope bucket. The Indiana title bearer of 1920 will no doubt be found to come from the above four named teams.

POPULATION CENTER TRAVELS EASTWARD BELIEF

The decennial census, now being taken, will reveal that the center of population of the _United States has moved eastward not toward the west or the south as commonly predicted. J. A. Hill, statistician of the census bureau, made the statement in an address to the press club of Washington Thursday night The 1910 cehsus showed the center of population to be in Bloomington, Indi Ana, and ill 1900 the center was some fifty miles eastward, or near Columbus, Indiana. Preliminary reports thus far received, said Mr. Hill, while revealing the eastward movement, do not contain sufficient figures to make any estimate of the extent of the eastward movement. After thd war movement to the eastern cities together with the wartime growth of the eastern industrial centers, the census statistician said, have more than counteracted the normal westward movement of population.

ORDERS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

If you are going to buy a light truck —listen. Let others run bunions on their feet and catch cold looking for the best truck value on the market. You could ask questions and watch demonstrations; you could walk until your socks were spats—but you can really feel safer by taking this fact as a buying guide . , . . The fact is: After weeks of investigation of all the light pneumatic tire trucks made in America, the English government placed an order for one thousand Oldsmobile Economy trucks. You need a light truck. We sell the Oldsmobile. Let’s get together. THOMPSON & KIRK

This opportunity to get a business education is being given Mr. Childers under the federal board for vocational education. This movement by the government to give to former soldiers the opportunity to equip themselves for some work for which they are capable of preparing is very commendable. It is right. Mr. Childers lost his health dunhg his service in the army. He had made an effort to do farm work and tried to serve as a driver for the express company in this city. He had to resign from both positions and cannot do heavy work. A government which takes this interest jn its exsoldiers should not be with Reds or members of the 1. w. w.
