Basketball. Whiting basketball teams scored
two defeats against Hammond last night when the S. P. A. C. defeated
the Hammond Baptists by the large score of 34 to 15 and the Whiting high school girls' team defeated the
Hammond high school team to the tune
of 15 to 10.
Both games were notable for their
remarkable activity and speed and the absolute cleaness with which all the
contestants moved.
In the first games between Sheridan
Park and Baptist teams uirara ana
Green proved themselves stars while
Trowe was not lacking In honors.
The line-up was as follows: Bap
tistsBinder, rg; Wall, lg; Campbell,
rf; Buttner, If; Hudson, c. S. P. A. C. Conors, rg; Floyd, lg; Green, rf;
Trowe, If; Girard, c.
Field goals Wall, 1; Binder, 1;
Campbell, 1: Girard. 7; Green, 4; Trowe,
4. Free throws Green, 4; Wall, 1; Binder, 8. Referee J. C. Melvin. Hime of halves twenty minutes. The girls game was by far the greatest possible surprise to the Whit
ing public as the Hammond team was considered far superior to the home team by means of experience and practice. The score at the first half wa3 10 to 9 in favor of Hammond, but this was speedily done away with when the star forwards, II. O'Hara and G. Eaton, started to work. The game was practically void of roughness usually experienced in such games, retlecting great credit on the visitors. The S. P. A. C. team has arranged to play a game with the Baptists at the latter's gymnasium at State and Sohl street Friday evening, Feb. 15th and are endeavoring to secure a game with the Hammond high school boys in the near future.

Stories of the "return" of the passenger pigeon have been printed of late
in many parts of the country and now enjoy, we believe, the credence of competent ornithologists. A letter from Minnesota records that "Woodmen report hundreds of them along the Clo-
quet river, in St. Louis county, and colonies have also appeared, it is said,
in the Wisconsin wods, north of Superior. Last spring a Hock was seen In Presque Isle Park, at Marquette, Mich., by the caretaker, who, when a young man, had killed many of the birds, and he recognized the species at once." Why these interesting native birds disappeared is easy enough to understand when one reads the accounts of the wholesale methods that were used for their slaughter forty and fifty years ago. No species ever came nearer to complete extinction. But we have not seen a gradual increase in numbers during the years when
bird lovers have been wishing these pigeon back. Roughly speaking, we have seen nothing of all of them for thirty years and now that they have come, it is in the large flocks which
were characteristic in the old days
Where have they been during the years
of recuperation? In South America, it
is suggested, but did any one see them
there? The nature-study movement
has produced some remarkable results
in the reappearance of species once all
but destroyed. The beavers and the
buffalo are gaining in numbers. Deer,
under protection, grow so abundant they spoil the farmer's crors. Who
knows but that the great auk and the
Labrador duck may presently reassert
themselves? New York Evening Post

The automobile buyer is too frequently guided by the advice of others, the appearance of the car, the first cost and the discount he is enabled to obtain from the agent making the sale. I believe it is better policy for the buyer to first consider the power of the automobile and the expense of its "up-keep"
(maintenance).
The car that will only show
great speed, indicates a high geared car; the car that will only
show hill-climbing qualities on advanced speed, indicates a low reared car BUT THE CAR
THAT SHOWS BOTH OF
THESE FEATURES, in an un
mistakable way, INDICATES GREAT POWER, and this is to be found in a Buick Automobile. GREAT POWER means less strain on mechanism; less strain on mechanism means less ex
pense for "up-keep" (maintenance). Ask any Buick owner for his verdict of the car. The 1906 Buick was a beauty the 1907 models are dreams. The Buick Motor Company is a member of the A. of L. A. M., which association has for its members, companies manufacturing the highest priced cars,; both Foreign and American. The 1907 Model "F" 22 h. p., Buick Touring Car, the price of which is $1250, is a very roomy and easy riding five passenger automobile, and it is capable of
going anywhere that any other automobile of any price can go and many places where the majority cannot go. A descriptive catalogue, de scribing the different models, will be mailed free to prospective purchasers in Lake and Porter counties, Indiana.
