St. Matthewa, Oct. S.—In a game
featured with long runs, St. Mat
thewa amothered the Barnwell high
team here thla afternoon, SI to 0,
scoring in each period.
Farley made the first touchdown
on a reverse around left end which
netted 25 yards. After several
long gains, Zimmerman, .behind
perfect interference, made a bril
liant run of 90 yards for a touch
down. The score at half wal 19 to
0.
The second half opened with both
teams resorting to the air. Farley,
who played a stellcr game at half
back, ran 50 yaids for a touchdown.
Rentz’s blocking, Crooks’ line
plunging and Zimmerman’s broken-
field running were outstanding for
the locals.
Although defeated, Barnwell
fought hard, with Cook and Vaughn
starring. '

After two more geologic ages had
run their course, the Pleistocene
age packed in cold storage more
than half the world, including all of
Wisconsin except the southwestern
comer. But miracles were at work
under the ice cap. And when the
"great thaw” came there was the
Wisconsin river cutting its south
westerly way toward the father of
waters through rugged sandstone
cliffs. Thirty thousand years of wa
ter, wind and weather have wrought
great changes in those cliffs, many
of which have assumed weird and
fantastic shapes. But the same dark

Banana’s History Is Old;
Cam* From Southern Asia
Among the accounts of man's, en
deavors on this earth, the discovery
and development of important foods
stand out The history of the banana
can be traced back until before the
beginning of history.
The yellow fruit is thought to have
developed first in the humid tropi
cal regions of Southern Asia. From
there it moved slowly westward.
Alexander the Great found the
fruit along the Indus three centuries
before Christ. The Arabs carried it
to the Holy Land, to northern Egypt,
and perhaps also across the Dark
continent to the west coast ac
cording to the Union Oil Bulletin.
When the Portuguese arrived on
the Guinea coast looking for slaves
and gold, about ten years before
Columbus sailed for the ' Indies,**
they found the bens ns. liked it and
carried it to the Canary islands.
From there, probably In the year
Iftlft. It went to the New World.
The banana first appeared In the
United States early In the Nine
teenth century. The few people who
bit Into the odd-shaped fruit brers
inclined to say, with Benjstopt Dis
raeli. 'the moet delicious thing in
the world Is a banana.''

EXTRA SPECIALS
Subscription Price of The People-
Sentinel Reduced to
$1.00 a Year %
(for a limited time only)
The publisher of The People-Sentinel takes pleasure in announcing that (for
a limited time only) the subscription price of The. People-Sentinel has been reduced
to only $1.00 a year. This reduction is being made in the face of rising costs of
publication and in spite of the fact that the size^qf ^he paper has been increased
from six to seven columns per page, the larger si*d gTtffrffour readers eight more
columns of reading matter each week, or a total of mom loan 400 columns during
the year. * . " ^ •
Effective immediately (and subject to withdrawal at any time) the new sub
scription rates will be as follows: * ' .
One Year $1.00
Six Months .75
Three Months .50
(STRICTLY CASH.)
These rates will apply to both old and new subscriptions, but none will be
accepted for more than two years in advance. Delinquent dues will also be accepted
at the $1.00 a year rate, and at this new low price there is no reason whatever for
any subscriber to remain in arrears. In fact, we cannot continue to send the paper
to those who fail or refuse to co-operate with us in this all important matter, and,
after a reasonable length of time, delinquents will be dropped from our mailing list
At the same time, we hope to increase our circulation by offering a larger
and better paper at a reduction of 33 1-3 per cent Sample copies are being sent
this week to a number of prospective subscribers and it is hoped that they will take
advantage of this special offer and send us $1.00 right away for a full year’s sub
scription.
Friends who felt that they could not afford to pay $1.50 a year—and have
been “borrowing” a neighbor's copy of the paper—can now have it mailed direct to
their address each week for less than the cost of a two-cent stamp.
REMEMBER: This offer is subject to withdrawal at any time, so act
PROMPTLY.
