Quite a crowd of rooters accom¬ panied the team to Salem Taesday night and saw the locals run off with the game 30 to 9. The hoys had tbeir eye on the basket and Hodges especially seemed to be able to find the hoop whenerer he tried, but the team work was still handicapped as Mann was not accustomed to his iose shield, and the subs hare not Seen able to fit in perfectly with the bal¬ ance ot the regulars, but they are Im¬ proring. The game was fast hot Salem was kept covered throughout the game and had very little chance to Score.

Ibsungency hss become common in Wisconsin, but has been rather un¬ usual In Illinois. This year the Chloago Tribune is bending its efforts to eause tbe President trouble, not only In Illinois, but also in the group of mid-west states surrounding Ill¬ inois. The big battle Is on and Washington City politicians ' are watching Illinois to ascertain if President Coolldge's popularity is waning. A victory for Col. Smith would be heralded as a Coolidge defeat and an endorsement of the Tribune    and    IU    candidate—Col.

The handicap to Mann and a few little breaks on losing baskets hurt Flora enough to    keep    them    from

For there months and particularly dnring the past thirty days. Sheriff Cogswell and his deputy, Mr. Jack¬ son, assisted by the officers at Flora, have put forth every effort to effect the capture of an unknown whisky smuggler. Night after night during the past three or tour weeks the sheriff, sometimes alone and some¬ times accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Jackson or special officer Robert Kitley of Flora, has patrolled the road between Flora and Xenia, hop¬ ing to overhaul the suspect.
Meanwhile the vigilance of the of¬ ficers became known to some of the citizens of Flora, - and last week SheriiT Cogswell's office In thia city! was visited by two or three men wbo pretended to wish to befriend him by warning him to get off the job betore he was killed—that the sus¬ pect was fully advised and was pre¬ pared to give battle and that It was foolhardy for him or his officers to pursue the game any further.
This counsel, safe as it appeared.
