Grants Pass Meets Defeat Ashland hish has reason to crow now, as defeat overwhelming met the Grants Pass team Saturday after noon when they were beaten 84 to 0. The game was a walkaway, Grants Pass having the pleasure of playing the second team before the day was over. The same started off with great vigor, and Ashlanders were a little anxious as to what the result would be. Their fears soon passed away, however, for in the first quarter four touchdowns and two goals were gained. This rather took the "pep" out of the Gratns Pass fellows, but they kept going wfth hardy pluck. Things went on in this overwhelming manner until at the end of the first half the score was 51 to 0. The Grants Pass boys were hammered down the field remorselessly, for nothing could stop the determined Ashland fellows. One of the greatest acquisitions on the Ashland team last week was Howard Mayfield, who was a star second baseman on the Central Point team heretofore. He is now living with his parents in Ashland, and is attending the Ashland high school as a junior. His weight, agil ity at handling the ball and wonder ful ability as a lineman were valu able assets in this game, and he will prove a great pillar of the team later, when games with other strong teams are played. Lilly had the distinction of making the first touchdown after one and one-halt minutes of play, and gained several more before the day was over. Gravy was there with the goods also, and of course Captain Spencer was the old standby. The game was especially clean, no dirty plays being evident. It has always been the reputation of both the Grants Pass and Ashland teams to play clean. Though the rain fell in torrents during the game and previously, there was a fair crowd present, many carloads of Medford high-schoolers coming up to watch the performance of the men they are soon to meet. During the second half Coach Khun put in many of the subs until their opponents were practically play ing the second team, who seemed equally successful in driving the Grants Pass boys backward. During the laHt of the game, instead of play ing the offensive, as our boys gener ally do, they practiced on the oppos ing team in regard to defensive methods. The score of the afternoon, 84 to 0, is certainly a good starter for the season. Young Men, Stop! Read About This! Do you want a single cylinder five H.

The cannibal Kankutus of Belgian Kongo make n practice of removing the upper incisor. Their dross con sists of a pluited skirt, which does not quite meet on the right thigh. But the women of the south weur a hide girdle with a deep fringe of palm fiber string. Among this tribe the slaves are com pelled to wear a special dress, which is, in fact, the ordinary costume of the Akela, to w hich tribe most o( them belong. Tb Bankutus are great canni bals ns far as the mule members of the tribe are concerned, and the vie tlins are always slaves. In fact, all slaves are ultimately eaten, since it is believed that if a slave wero buried his ghost Mould kill his master. Their chief weapon is the bnw, poison being used on the arrows. Shields are now obsolete. One of their most inter esting points is tneir use or a conven tional throwing knife ns currency. The Bankutus are almost the only tribe of this region who have been successful In resisting the advance of the white man. This fact Is duo to their skill in forest warfare. The way leading to their village is defended by poisoned spikes hidden by leaves. They use bows and arrows set like traps in the form of primitive spring guns and are quite ready if a white man is expected to bait such trnps with n live baby, being sure that the European will be unable to resist the temptation to pick up an apparently abandoned child. The poison they use is absolutely deadly. Paid. Adv. , Foolish Suggestion. "You ought to typewrite your poet ry," snld the harsh editor. "Great Scott"' replied Mr. Penwiggle.
