When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakeable warnings that

the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the nrst sign Of disorder, many
days OF suffering may be saved- Sick
kidneys expel a dark, ill-smelling
urine, full of "brickdust" sediment,
and painful in passage. Sluggish
kidneys cause dull pain In the small
of the back, headaches, dizzy spells,
tired, languid feelings and frequent
rheumatic twinges.

said that this equals the local asso-
citation record for the event, barring
no performances in the past In the
latter event John Dickey won over
much older competitors of the inter
mediate class by jump of Is feet Z

him place in the recent high school

Hunters In Protest.

A Davenport Dispach says: Scott
county hunters numbering 1000 have
adopted resolutions declaring against
the diversion of the money paid for
Iowa hunters licenses to any purpose
except the protection and propaga-
ton of game and fish in Iowa. They
suggest that ten percent Of the
amount paid in each county might be
diverted to the general fund OF that
county, but not more
An unqualified endorsement Of Fish
and Game Warden Lincoln goes with

HUNGARIAN
PARTRIDGES
State Game Warden Lincoln Is Send
ing Them Out to Every Deputy
Warden in
iowa.
A FIVE YEAR PERIOD
Birds May Not be Shot During This
Time and Then Should be
Numerous-chanse in
Laws.

A bunch of Hungarian cartridges
have been sent to every game war
den in the state by State Game War
den Lincoln. The partridges are to be
liberated in various parts of the sew
eral counties. Wherever the game
warden finds a farmer willing to
feed the birds and see that they are
not molested he will place them with
him as long as the supply lasts.
Under the law these birds may not
be shot for FIVE years. and in that
length of time they are expected to
show large increase They are
slightly larger than quail and are
said to be very hardy. There are TO-
600 OF these birds being liberated in
Iowa.
Mr.. Lincoln would much rather
have had the birds come at a more
seasonable time of the year, but is
obliged to accept them when he can
get them. They are shipped to this
country from Hungaria and delivered
to Wallace Evans, proprietor OF a
large game farm at Oak Park, Chica-
go. who keeps item until they are ac-
climated and then delivers them in
places in Iowa. according to orders
from Mr.. Lincoln.
These birds are of the quail variety,
only considerably larger. and will
only propagate when at liberty and
running wild.

Change in Game Laws.

The following from the Sioux City
Journal will interest the shooters:
"A change in the game laws OF
Iowa may be expected, if bill now
before the fish and game committee
of the legislature becomes a law. G.
C. Hamilton of Sioux City last night
returned from Des Moines where he
conferred with members of the am
mittee in relation to new gar laws
1t is the belief of Mr.. Hamilton that
the committee next week will report
bill which will embody features in
cluded in several measures nov be-
fore the committee.
According to Mr.. Hamilton it will
be known as the Committee BILL 1t
will provide for three wardens-a fish
warden, game warden and war
den who will look after the propaga-
ton of fish and game. 1t also will pro-
vide for the establishment of game
/ farms and the division OF the state in
to seven districts, each in charge of
warden. One of the features of the
measure will be provision that the
issuance of hunters license is to be
used for the propagation of game.
Concerning the disposition o. this
I fund, which now amounts to $137,O00,
Mr.. Hamilton believes bill now be
fore the legislature to appropriate 60
per cent of the fund to the road fund,
will be killed. A bill already has pass
ed the house which provides that
10 per cent of the hunters license
fund shall revert to the county fund
and be used by the county auditor to
. ward the expense Of issuing the Ii
.. censes."

Chicago Gets the Worst of Deal
Cubs Must Travel 1859 Miles
Presidents Salary
increased

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-For bon
US. said on good authority to be $780,
goo, the National League Of Profes-
sional Baseball clubs in session,
made a 20-year contract with a promi.
nent sporting goods firm to use a
baseball of its manufacture for the of
fetal league ball. 1t is the same ball
that has been used by the National
league for the last sixteen years and
in adopting it again the magnates re
jected an offer of a Cincinnati firm
said to have been s325,o00 in twenty
annual installments OF s16,250. Of
which half was to be in cash and hall
in baseballs.

Firm Pays High for Contract.

Heretofore, it commonly has been
supposed, even among the players,
that the big leagues paid about 81
cents each, for balls which sell at re-
tail at $1.25. But the Developments of
today show that they not only pay
nothing, but receive all the balls
they use free and very considerable
sum in cash besides. The exact terms
of the contract were not disclosed,
but it is understood to have been a
cash offer accompanied by $50J.D0o
certified check and "all balls the eight
clubs could use in playing champion
ship games" The contract commences
with the season of 1912.

No Conflicts in St. Louis.


In ST. Louis all conflicts have been
eliminated for the first time and each
club has thirteen Sundays to itself,
or fifty percent of the whole.
There are but two scheduled double
headers in Boston. None of the
eastern clubs play two series in sue
cession with the same club. In the
west this succession of dates occurs
four times, but it is limited to seven
games in one stretch, and six games
in the other three cases. Each club
plays every Saturday. Cincinnati and
ST. Louis play an extra Sunday.
The salary Of President Thomas J
Lynch was increased from $4,000 tc
$4,000 a year.

No Change in Schedule.

The league schedule was adopted
without change and the sched-
ule already prepared and sent out
stands for the season. This shows that
all of the clubs will travel grand to
tai of 89,733 miles during the season.
Chicago gets the worst of the sched-
ule according to baseball men. The
club must travel 14,579 miles and has
nine conflicting dates. 1t is the only
club with conflicts, but all but one
are on Sundays and the exception is
on Saturday.

is THIS YOUR CLASSY

1t has always been a mystery
TO this editor why many seeming
~ responsible people persist in
retaining the idea that practi-
cally everything Of a foreign ma
ture is decidedly better than the
home article. This idea has been
carried by them into almost all
lines of business. Some people
believe the merchant in the next
town offers greater bargains,
some seem to think the goods Sc
cured in another place are bet
ter than those offered by the
home dealer. This same idea is
often held with reference to the
local newspaper, and the products
of the job printing department.
The writer has seen printing Sc
cured by a local business man
from one OF the larger cities,
which he seems to think was a
first class job, when if such work
mad been gotten out for him by
the local printers he would have
turned it down. Every editor
has had sheets that We're in no
sense as creditable as his own
town up to him as an ideal pa
per. Swcetwater Reporter.
1t is with regret that the Ava
lanche must report some Of this
class Of people in this town. We
know as a general thing that the
people of Lubbock are more loyal
10 the newspaper than in many
places. They are more loyal 10
the newspaper than they are 10
a great many other enterprises
too. We have it upon good
authority that three car loads of
groceries have been uuloaded at
this place by a certain firm from
he north, who has had repre-
vatatlves in the country and
, taking orders from people
" III lily ought 10 be ashamed
OOOde the goods after they
e. Many who have ordered
g goods from these people and
ave paid the money for them
probably owe the local grocer for
their supplies that they purchas-
ed six months or a year ago, and
in the place Of paying what cash
they had on the account and en-
couraging the grocer 20 carry
them on, they dump it into the
hands of these inappreciative
firms who would not contribute a
cent TO the development OF the
town. Think about Dc, anu do
not be guilty Of such an otfense
again.

The Fair Exhibits

In another place in this paper
will be found an article asking
the farmers 10 be sure to bring
in exhibits for the Dallas Fair
not later than Saturday. This is
very important, the car is ex-
pected 10 leave here not later
than Monday, and we should
have all the exhibits in by the
time the car is ready 10 go that
they can all go together. We
understand that Lubbock county
has been given a very choice
space IN the agricultural exhibit
hall, and We can have the best
opportunity ever presented 10 Us
TO make a mighty fine showing
along the line Of agricultural pro-
ducts. The people Of the town
have put up money 10 show this
exhibit off, and the farmers
should certainly feel enough in
terest to donate an exhibit. II
will mean a great deal 10 have
fine exhibit at that place this
fall, for the plains country viii
wear off all the honors this year.
and Lubbock should help the
several south plains counties

extra fine this year.
