That the Monte Vista High
School boys did not howl over the
hard luck which prevented them
from winning the Inter scholastic
track meet at Boulder last Satur-
day shows them to be true sports.
AS it was they took strong third
and, until Mack Davis failed on
his third trial at the pole vault,
North Denver had very insecure
hold on second position.
The tough luck to which Monte
fell heir began with Medina-who
was the principal beneficiary"

hence the heat is never felt here,
owing to altitude and rarifed and

great river of the north) flows ma
Jestically less than two miles north

Monte Vista is in the midst of
the great sub-irrigating grain and
pea land belt. which has made the
San Luis valley famous.
MonteVista is one of the most
beautifully situated cities in the
state. The Sangre de Christie
range of the Rockies on the east
and the San Juan range on the
west, practically join at the north
and the south, giving the town the
appearance Of being completely
surrounded by snow-capped noun

Davis lacked only one point of
taking individual honors and the
wooden trough" at the pole vault
and the measurers who called his
lO6 feet discus throw, 100 6-1O it.,
were his undoing. At that. Mack
broke the state record in the high
jump, took first in the shot put
and got 2! points in the pole vault.
He was one of the big features of
the day He will be highly vel
come addition to any college track
team in the state next year.
Lawrence Tohill and Everett
Hopper showed surprising form in
their events and are "comers."
With Smith of North Denver out
of the meet next year, and with
consistent training, Tohill should
win both the $50 yard run and the
mile. Cheese of Colorado Springs
High has run his last interschol
astic quarter-mile and Hopper's
time in that race next year should
equal if not surpass the 52:3 made
by the 44O-yd champion this year.
Both boys have the strength the
speed and the nerve" for their
events. The lack of know how"
was all that prevented their taking
points in Saturdays meet.
The strength that comes with
maturity is vital element in these
gruelling races and another year
will help both Hopper and Tohill
in this respect.
Monte Vista as a serious conten-
der for interscholastic track honors
was new wrinkle to the fans: an
other year they will look for great
er things from the local boys-and
they will not be disappointed.
New material will have to be de-
veloped to take the place of Medina
and Davis, who have graduated,
but their loss should not perma-
nently cripple next years outlook.

To Have A Life Net

The Fire Department asked the
Council last night for an approprl-
alton of SIS to purchase a life net
for the use Of the department. The
appropriation was granted.
In making the request, Mr.. VII
kerson, the department chief, said
that it would probably be a long
time before a life net would be
needed in this city, as there was
only one building tall enough to
render a life net necessary in case
of fire.
But" said he, we want to edu-
cate our firemen in the use of every
fire apparatus we can get hold OF on
reasonable terms. Not one of us
knows the PROPER use of a life net
and probably very few of our citi-
zens have ever seen one or would
know how to jump into a net if the
necessity should ever arise.
We propose, if we get the net,
to give public exhibitions of its
uses from the top of our high
structures. After the firemen
show us how to jump we will find
no difficulty in finding boys, and
even girls and grown men, who are
brave enough to make a leap to
demonstrate the value of the life
net in big fires.

The A. c. |. to be Sued For
Damages.

Several local attorneys were called
to Triton Friday afternoon by parties
plaintiffs in suits to be instituted
against the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway for damages resulting from
injuries received in the disastrous
train wreck which occurred at the
Alapaha river bridge one week ago
today.
The names Of the parties propos-
ing to bring the suit, and the
amounts to be named as damages
could not be definitely learned.
The Alapaha river is the lire be-
tween Berrien and Coffee counties,
and this fact may complicate the
legal phase Of these cases and re-
quire a legal ruling as to which
county the suits may be properly
instituted.
it is not unlikely that many of the
claims for damage growing out OF
this deplorable accident will be
settled outside the courts, as is US
ual in such matters.

CURING CATARRH.

Accept Our Advice and Try This Rem
edy at Our Risk.
Catarrh is a disease Of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane is.
one may say, the interior lining of the
body. Catarrh therefore may exist in
any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, Inflammation
and congestion are produced and ma
ture fails to throw off the accumUlat-
ed poisons. The organ which has been
afflicted ceases to perform it's proper
function as nature intended it should.
The result is, complication upon COM
plication, which may lead to other
even more serious Affections.
We honestly believe Rexa1 NucU-
Tone will do wonders toward over
coming catarrh. 1t is made from the
prescription of an eminent physician
who made long study of catarrh. and
his great success with this remedy was
an enviable one.
We want you If you are sufferer
from catarrh in any form. to give
Rexall Mucu-Tone a thorough trial
Use it with regularity and persistency
for reasonable time, then if you are
not satisfied, come back and tell us,
and without question or Formally we
will hand back to you every cent you
paid us. This is certainly the fairest
offer that any one could make and
should attest our sincerity of pur-
pose. 1t comes in two sizes, prices
80 cents and $100. Remember you can
obtain it only at-The Rexau Store
Denmark Drug Company.
