should be entitled and allowed to vote

county, city, without distinction OF race
or color, any constitution, law, custom,

be more significant than this enact
ment, passed by Congress Immediately
upon its adoption. do not find in
the case cited from the Supreme Court
anything opposed to that interpreta-
ton. 1t seems clear that when, by the
Fifteenth Amendment, it is declared
that the right of citizens of the United
States to vote. shall not be denied or
abridged by any state on account OF
race or co'or, it means what Congress
understood it to mean, namely the right
to vote at all public ele, tions.

municipal election laws from this An

worthless by this Federal decision 1t
is, moreover, evident that the regis
tration officials acting under this Act
at the last municipal registration have
rendered themselves liable in damages,
just as is the case with the Annap-

There is strong movement on foot
to organize Riverdale baseball team to

There is deal Of good material for all
positions except those on the firing line
Pitchers and catchers are scarce. Among
old college or normal school players
who would look good for positions are
Dr. Gardner, w. +. Swope, II. A. Lyons.
Besides these there are a number of
good men who have had no experience

doubtedly make good. A base ball team
is good advertisement for a town and
Riverdale should have one. In case the
organization is completed, game will be

How TO Cure Eczema, PimpIeS, and
Dandruff

We desire 10 say that when we took
the agency for ZEMO, we were convinc-
ed that it was a valuable remedy for
Eczemo, pimples, aud dandruff, Yet
we must frankly admit that Zemo has
far exceeded our expectations as treat
ment for skin diseases. We are pleased
to state that we shall continue the
agency as ZEMO has given splendid
results wherever recommended. Our
customers like ZEMG too, because it is
clean vegetable liquid for external
use.
ZEMO effects its cures by drawing to
the surface of the skin and destroying
the germ life that causes the disease,
leaving the skin clear and healthy. II

can be used freely on infants.
With every purchase we give booklet
on skin diseases explaining i'll simple
words how any person can be cured al
home of any form OF skin or scalI

been amazingly numerous. God
man says that the gray coats were a
fearful scourge to colonial farmers
and that Pennsylvania paid $4,000

Of 100000 within a comparatively
small district. In the early days of
western settlement regular hunts
we're organized by the inhabitants,
who would range the woods in two
companies from morning till night,
vying as to which band should
bring home the greatest number of
trophies. The quantities thus killed

In ancient times this substance
was known as amber" a name also
applied subsequently to the fossil

order to distinguish between the
two one was called amber girls

so that a continuous crack is formed
along the line Of the intended cut.
The crack once begun. very small
force is necessary to carry it
through the glass, and thus the

to accomplish the purpose. Sc that
