Of the banking houses of Green
wood, showing their financial con-

a more favorable financial show
ing than the above.

The stomach and bowels are lined
with a mucous membrane. They are
/ therefore subject to catarrh, the same
as the nose and throat. Catarrh OF
. the stomach and bowels will derange
! the functions Of these organs. The

Immediately sours. The souring pro-
duccs gas and irritation.
Food Sours In the Stomach
A portion Of the undigested meal is
absorbed into the system by the blood
vessels of the stomach. This poisons
the whole system, producing a condi-
tion now known as administration;
self poisoning. The fcrmenting, irri-
tating mass. as it passes down into
the bowels irritates the bowels, pro-
ducing sometimes a chronic diarrhea,
sometimes producing the very oppo-
site, constipation.
The average dyspepsia medicine
helps to artifeially digest the food.
Even when such medicine does its
work 1t Is only temporary. A perma-
ment relief can only be expected when
the Catarrh is overcome.
Symptoms of Catarrh Of the Stomach.
The symptoms of catarrh Of the
stomach are: First. heartburn. Sec

Third sour stomach. Fourth, heavy

THE TENTH GRADE ENTER
TAINS THE ELEVENTH.

The tenth grade, or Juniors as
they are now called, obserhed the
tlme-worn custom last Friday
night by giving the Seniors a
Halloween party. The students
from both grades gathered at the
court square at 8 o'clock and aft
er frolicking around awhile, turned
down the river front and stopped
at the last house on that street,
fomerlly owned by Miss Tallula
Strong.
The house was dimly illuminat-
ed by candles, while colored aut-
umn leaves made up the decora-
tons. Numerous pumpkins were
also placed in dark and scary
places to remind the attendants
OF the date and occasion. Apple
bobbying was the first attraction
after which the punch bowl had
been visited. Another feature of
the entertainment was the witch
eS tent, where the students had
their fortunes told.
After the above mentioned
amusements had grown familiar,
Prof. Saunders introduced the
Virginia Reel and Square Dance;
these two dances furnished all
unequalled good time for all STU
dents and also teachers until u
o'clock, when the Seniors bid the
Juniors goodbye with a lasting
impression Of a good time brand
ed on their memory. , .--~~

RICHMOND, Dec. 27.-One of the
notable successes in development
and sales In Richmond the last year
is in that portion OF the city known
as Richmond Junction. located at the
junction of San Pablo avenue. Mac
donald avenue and Cutting boulevard.
E. n. Tapscott, owner of Richmond
Junction, said yesterday: There is
not city in America today that has
the possibilities and future of Rich
mond, nor is there a city in this coun-
try that has shown the rapid growth
In population with its accompanying
rapid rise in real estate valuations.
Although many people have been COM
planning of an off year, l have been
exceptionally busy in Richmond june
ton. We have gone over the $780,
900 mark since April. so you can see
we have not been idle.
THE coming of the new state high
way is going to bring great deal OF
traffic through Richmond from the
interior of the state. which formerly
went around by Hayward As this
highway runs past Richmond juno
tion l can see a very rapid Develop
ment around San Pablo and Macdon-
aid avenues.
It believe 1914 is going TO be the
greatest year of all in Richmond. be-
cause eastern people are coming now
in greater numbers to build homes
and factories for the opening of the

These words, which are, in fact. a
prediction OF growth to Richmond,
which city is using all her energies
toward developing more shipping fa-
cilities, came from a Chico business
man, one OF a pool OF several in the
northern part OF the state who made
the recent investment of 100000 in
Wallis harbor center subdivision He
came here this week to look at his
property.
These purchases now in such a city
as Richmond he said, ARE absolute
ly certain TO bring the investor re-
turns far beyond his expectations,
even though they may be set high.
There are few cities in the world with
such certainty of development as
Richmond has where you can still get
property at the low prices and on the
easy terms that you can in Richmond.
While from my investigations / be-
lieve that every lot will increase
greatly In value, prefer Harbor Cen
ter. because IL is so situated that the
business development simply must
come to it. In q few years Harbor
Center property, believe. will be get
ting the values of some of the good
San Francisco and Oakland property
that is now beyond the reach Of the

Rains and holidays are not in any
way stopping sales in Harbor Center.
