HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
The greatest event In high school cir
cles sinco the lnat. Issue of The Homhl
was the footbnll gnnio played between
Nowimn HI ami LnGrniigo U1 lnat Fri
day afternoon. LnGrnngo cmno expoet-
ing to bent, us by nil overwhelming score,
but nn one of our boys expressed it,
'■They enmo to town swnggoring, but
wont homo staggering. ’' During tho Inst
three quarters tho bnll wns kept in tholr
territory nil the time, except when they
kicked out; whereupon our snfoty nine
would immediately run it bnck again
We had the ball on thoir Ifl-yarrt lino
once, but nt this critical moment wo wore
penalised 15 yards for slugging. This
was most unfortunate for us, ns it wns
whnt saved LnGrnngo from n licking.
One try by Potts for a Hold goal from
tho 25-yard lino missed by a foot. On
'the other hand, LnGrnngo never threaten
cd but once, when in tho first quarter they
reached our 25-ynrd line. After that
our goal wnB continuously so far away
from them It was apparent to tho most
ignorant football “fan” that thoy wore
hopolessly bonton, but we did not hnvo
tho punch to put it over. Our defonso
was nlmost perfect, our lino throwing
back tholr lino charges, and our ends
charging in nnd paralyzing thoir end
runs and off-tackle plnys before they
could got around to the lino of scrim
mngo. Potts’ punting was another no
table fenturo of tho game, nn he invari
ably got the ball off for good distances
and frequently out of bounds, thus pro
venting a run-back. With a little
tar interference in running our off-tackle
plnys wo could have scored easily, but
our ends, who did wondorful work on
defense, foil down badly on offonsn, lot
ting tho LnGrnngo tackles through re
peatedly, while our backfield mon running
interference did not Beem to know when
and how to leavo thoir feet, and appar
ently had no doflnito idea ns to whom
they wore to put, out of tho play. We
are now working on our offense to cor
root t-heso faults. Noxt game nil you
loynl “rooters” must come out ign.in,
ns yon did so satisfactorily to witness
tho LnGrnngo game; nnd “watch our
smoke.”
Our next gnmo is with Griffin today,
(Friday) in Newnnii, nnd wo nro oxpoot-
ing one of tho hardest games of tho yenr.
Griffin is coming with tho idea of win
ning. but will go bnck— Woll, come
seo for yourself.

H BLOOD K
O REAL BARRIER
Growing Children Often
Need Glide's Pepto-
Mangan.
Some children grow too quickly—it
saps their strength. Thoy lapso into
careless, desultory habits, or dovolop a
shrinking attitude. Thoir faces look
pinched.
Tho blood becomes overtaxed by too
rapid growth; and poisons from tho sys
tem tnko tho plnco of strength-giving red
corpuscles in the blood. Rod corpusclos
aro thoBo little rod particles that swim
in blood nnd give it its color. ; Gradually
that child loses interest in its play.
Poor blood needs tho building that the
iron in Glide's Popto-Mnngan gives to
weakened blood. Glide’s Pepto-Mnugan
enriches the blood by increasing tho
number of red corpuscles, and restores the
blood by driving out tho poisons. When
tlie revived blood gets to work, the ap
petite becomes what a growing child’s
should bo. Your druggist lias Guilo’s

WHO MADE THE FIRST SCISSORS?
When you pick up the family scissors,
after you have found them, (for they
have an nstoundlng ability to hide,) and
saw or hack irritably through one thing
you want to cut, do you over wonder who
made tho first pair. From the state that
tlie usual house shears are in you may
think that you own the. original bifur
cated knife. '
Tho origin of the first pair of scissors
is lost, as 1b the pair itself, in the dust
of the ages. Some have been found in
•(the relics of ancient Greece and Rome,
they’ have been known in China as far
back as it is possible to go, and they
have boon found made of bronzo and
practically every other metal that man
has used. They havo been of the rough
est in construction and use and they
have boon made of silver and gold, heav
ily jeweled for tlie fair women of each
ago, but nevor, until now, havo they been
improved and made more useful.
It was left for an American, working
with nn American company under Amer
ican patents, in the new world, to make
perfect one of tlie most ancient instru
ments of man. Eventually there will be
put on the market, in sizes and shapes
for evciy purpose, scissors that have a
touch of the miraculous about them, for
they nevor need to bo sharpened.
These new shears are made so that,
when the edge wonrs you give a simple
twist of the wrist and insert thin new
blades of tempered, razor-like steel into
the notclios occupied by tho old blades
you have removed, and the scissors are
regenerated. The day lias past, after
many thousand years, when you have to
buy new scissors to get a now, clean-
cutting odge. From the barber and the
surgeon to tho mother with her sewing
and tlie kiddie in kindergarten, everyone
will find life smoother when it is possi
ble to discard the primitive and have
shears that will cut*
CHANCES ARE THAT HE WAS
"ET UP.”
The following letter wns received by
the forest ranger of the Pasadena (Cal.)
district, and read at tho annual dinner
of tlie Sierra Club in Los Angeles:'
“Kind nnd Respected Cir: I 'see in
tlie paper that a man named J-
would become extinct, and the few sur
vivors of the human race would be driven
to the far Arctic to eke out a miserable
existence on HbIi, whale, or seal flesh.
Wo say the “appetite of a bird” as
a sjmonym for a small eater. Tho truth
is, that no other class of living creatures
possesses so insatiable nn appetite ns tho
bird.
There is nothing wondorful in this.
The normal temperature of birds is sev
eral degrees higher than that of man,
their digestion works far more rapidly,
and almost any bird, if deprived of food
for a comparatively Bhort period, dies of
starvation.
Every country is coining to realize the
enormous value of birds. Small birds
are now protected by law in England,
France, and even in Italy, where, until
lately, thoy were being steadily extermi
nated.
Genuine
Common Sense
Many Ford owners can afford to own and oper
ate any car they may choose, but they prefer a
Ford “because it is a Ford.”
For “because it is a Ford” means dependability,
ease of operation, efficiency—and it means sure,
quick transportation.
And “because it is a Ford” means good taste,
pride of ownership and genuine Common Sense.
The Ford Sedan, a closed car of distinction, beauty
and convenience, is the ideal all year 'round car,
for pleasure or business—for the farm, town or
city. It gives you all that any car can give at a
much lower cost for operation and maintenance.
Ford Cars of all types are in great demand, so
place your order at once if you wish to avoid
delay in delivery.

is did slio kill him or wns lie only partly

if lie wasn’t killed either in the war or
by tho^ bar© for i have been married
twice sinco and there ought to be di
vorce papers got out by him if the hare
did not eat him all up. If it is him you
will know it by having six toes on the

a spread eagle tattoed on his front chest
and a nukor on Mb right arm which you
will know him if the bare did not eat

STOMACH TROUBLE?
Weakness ? Distress ?
Ashland, Ky.—"Many years ago my
mother used Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery for her stomach. She had tak
en treatment from physicians nnd had
never obtained good results. After com
mencing to take this remedy she noticed
an improvement and I can say it surely
helped her wonderfully. I am pleased to
write this to let others know how this
medioine helped our family. Any one will
benefit by the ‘Discovery’ if they will try
it.”—Mrs. M. A. Brown, 642 E. Carter

WITHOUT BIRDS HUMAN RACE
WOULD END.
Alan might lose horses, cattle, hogs,
shoop, and yot contrive to live. But it
is fairly snfo to prophesy that if all
birds were exterminated human life
would ceaso within ten years.
This satoment, startling as it may
seem, is cold truth, for if there were
no birds to keep thoir numbers down
noxious insects would increase so rap
idly tlmt all vegetation would be destroy
ed, all grain nnd grass-eating creatures

aches Affected Her.
Everybody will read with interest the
statement of Miss M. E. Woodford, 180S
Fihnore St., Lynchburg, Va., who says:
* * I don’t believe, anybody ever suffer
ed from headaches like I did. The pains
felt like an iron band was being drawn
around my head and my temples would
throb until I wns driven almost distract
ed. I shudder when I think of those
awful headaches. I had no appetite
either.
4 * I owe Tanlac an everlasting debt of
gratitude for entirely ridding me of
those terrible headaches. My stomach
has been toned up, too, aud everything
I oat agrees with me. Tanlac certainly
brought me health and happiness.”
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
