THE NEWNAN HERALD, NEWNAN, GA., FRH)AY, NOVEMBER 11, 1921 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.

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 Pcpto-Mnngnn in liquid or tablot form.

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. THE MOTOR TRACTOR CO. Ford and Fordson Dealers Newnan, Georgia. C. B. EPPS, Mgr.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA 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 *\ FELT LIKE AN IRON BAND AROUND HEAD This Is How Lynchburg, Va. Woman Deblares Head 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 everywhere.—Adv.
