BASKET-BALL TOURNEY ON DIFFERENT PLAN -ONLY QUALIFIED TEAMS MAY ENTER Arrangements are already updei way for the fourth annual high school basket-ball tournament tc decide the state championship. The Boosters’ Club of Indiana University has been hard at work for the last few weeks working ic conjunction with the Indiana State High School Athletic Association. This annual tournament has beer a big success and there is alwayi keen rivalry between the teams that represent the towns throughout the state. Last year the entry liswas close to ninety teams. In the past it has been quite ar expense for the University and then has been more or less trouble ii taking care of the tremendous crowds that always escort the team: to Bloomington. For this reason the Indiana State High Schoo Athletic Association and the Boosters’ Club have decided upon a dis ferent play than those in force th* past four years. The tournament will not be opei to all the high schools in the stat< as heretofore, but will be open tc those only which have qualified so entry. The qualifications have not entirely been decided upon as yet bur it is thought that there will b< some form of elimination contests arranged for in the districts of the state. These districts will be drawi off by and the team that pass the eliminations in thes > districts will represent their districts at in the sta tournament.

THE BEST ANSWER IN PRIZE CONTEST An Out Os Town Readers Sends Clipping From Another Paper i — An out of town reader of the Journal sends us the reasons primed below why people do not trade at home. The sender states that these reasons are not his own but they were compiled by the merchants in the he resides. IHe states that the merchants are 'correcting these faults as they und them and that trade n that town is already picking up. Some of the things listed ' ill not apply to Syracuse merchants bit we have printed the list exactly is sent us. The person who sent the n i a so wrote that if the list was seI looted as the best sent in we shou Id . k ep the prize money and use it in s me other way to help the cause of home trading. 1. That the business men are largely to blame for the present existing evil of trading away from home. 2. That they themselves have encouraged the habit by buying a large per cent of their own family needs out of s own. 3. That the ladies of this community have for a number of yean been buying most of their goods, such as shoes, suits, dresses, hats, etc., in other maikets. 4. That this has been brough about largely by the business met not making the proper effort to secure for their customers the good: which they do not carry in stock. 5. That up to this time peoph have been able to save money by buying from mail-order houses ant attending special sales in neighbor ing cities. 6. That the assortment of goo 1; carried by the merchants of this town has not been satisfactory to the buyer and has been a just cause for the people buying where the t sfortment is larger. 7. That the merchants hav< shown an indifference and a “don’ care" spirit about ordeting go If for customers which they did no have in stock. 8. That even when they <;ic order something for a customer a u it was not satisfactory, they seemet to be offended when the . customet asked to have it returned. 9. That even some of the m>s staple lines have not been kept ip and too often customers have b, en told “I am sorrow, but we are jus out of that size or quality." “ /<• have it ordered, it will be here i few days," etc. 10. That the lines that cha go in style have been allowed to >ecome out of date. 11. That the business men h ve no right to expect anyone to t a them a premium for the priyii 'ge of trading at home. 12. That the clerks, and e\ei: he proprietors, have not been as courteous and as painstaking toward customers as they she aid lave been. 13. That the citizens of this little city and surrounding country want to be loyal to their Home Town, and it is the universal opinion of the merchants that if thev will but put forth the proper effort, the people will actually welcome the opportunity to patronize horn? whenever it is possible for them ta get what they want at the rigl t pike. 14. That it is wholly uptotba business men to get the busings i they are entitled to and that tt ? buying public will more than met: them half-way. 15. That there is at least $5 ),- 000 going out of this commumt r every year, of which the busines i men do not receive any share an 1 of which they can get at le.it t seventy-five per cent if they wi 1 but make the effort. 16. That the merchants do not confine their stores to the lines which belong to them, but use their neighbor’s lines as leaders and thu i demoralize trade in general. 17. That the merchants havo been too jealous of each other, tl a: they have not worked enough to each other’s interest. 18. That the farmers have an opinion that the business men do not care for them except to get th fitrade. 19. That the town and town ship are not close enough together, that there should be more of a spirit of co-operation between every citizen in this community no matter whether he lives in the corporation or not.
