Athletes to InterchOlaStic

The team of the local high
school excepting Welch, went to
Columbia Friday afternoon to
contest in the interscholastic
meet held there Saturday. There
will be a dozen high schools en-
tered in these events and Key
tesville will have about the same
team in the contest it had here
last Saturday, eliminating the
plucky Welch and substituting
therefor, Pow Agee Hurt, who
is expected to handle the shot
put. In view of the figures made
in the various high school con-
tests in this vicinity recently,
the locals ought to stand a good
show to top the ticket or at least
make a fine showing. The
broad jump ought to be Way
lands with a good margin and
the high hurdles which he has
been running in practice close to
16 seconds, ought to give him
a good place in that event. We
ought to have a place in the shot
put and discus and hundred
yard dash, and, possible some
others. 1t depends a good deal
on. the condition of the local
athletes but, as said, in view of
the figures piled up at the meet
here, another at Carrollton
another at Central High in Kan

book says that Keytesville ought
to show strong.

large one on the visiting team
from Columbia. The visitors
came here schooled for the runs
but in other departments of the
game they were a little bit shy.
They met defeat by a score of
81 to 40, giving Keytesyille 50
per cent more points than the
visitors.
The stars for the locals were
Wayland and Thrash. The WIS.,
itors had a strong man in
Schawbe who did some good
work in the sprints and short
runs. They had nothing in the
jump, pole vault, discus or shot
put worth speaking Of their
principal training seeming to
have been in the runs and
sprints.
Wayland walked away with
the high hurdles doing them
three seconds faster than Church
and he had no opponent,
running against time. Thrash
was good in the weights,
winning the discus and shot
put without trouble. The high
jump was easy for Wayland. In
the broad jump. Wayland with
his first effort landed the mark
with three feet to spare over his
nearest competitor. He made
q feet, 8 "a in. which is a re-
markably good jump. Wayland
turned to a visiting coach and
said, Il can make it % feet il
you say so" but the visitor was
satisfied. 1t seemed that he was
telling the truth for Wayland
Was in fine form for that jump.
In the hundred, Wayland was
penalized fora false start and
finish second by a small margin
to Schwabe. The general feel.
ing among the boys here wa'
that if Wayland had started al
scratch he would have broker
the tape.
The sensational race was thu
half mile relay. Paul Croppel
won that race with his magnifi
cent burst Of speed at the start
He literally ran away from hi
competitor and when the end O
the first lap was reached Col
umbia was hopelessly out classet
and never caught up although
the visitors made up a little 0

c. c. Chapman to Lead the
Ranks of ExpOnents of
"S0ft" Drinks

A called meeting OF the people
Of the county who desire to con-
tinue the regime of local option,
was held at the courthouse in the
circuit court room Tuesday
morning and afternoon. The
meeting was for the purpose Of
organizing and fighting the
''wets" who were expected to
attempt to vote the townships
wet this Spring.
The organization was effected
and C. W. Steiman appointed
chairman and A. M. Childs,
secretary. The ways and means
of campaigning were discussed
during which one speaker stated
that there would have to be a
hard fight to keep the county
from going wet this Spring. He
also argued to get the women in
the campaign as he thought the
women could do more good than
the men in some departments.
Mr.. C. C. Chapman who had
been suggested as the leader in
the campaign arose and said
that if he entered into this cam
paign he wanted to be assured
there would be money to finance
lit. He expected the campaign
to cost six or seven hundred
dollars at least. The men pres
ent said the campaign would be
financed.
4 Mr.. Chapman said he expect
ed to make redhot campaign
and he wanted the money in the
treasury before any bills were
i contracted and wanted it under
lstood that the committee in
charge was not to be held for
debts. He suggested starting
the campaign at once by going
over the petition to the county
court to see that it was above
lreproach and then follow it up
with a hard-working campaign.
The meeting was adjourned un-
til afternoon to discuss finance

Passengers threw themselves face

were prompt in reaching the scene,
but the combatants jumped into auto

known no one was hurt, remarkable
fact in view of the promiscuous
shooting. It is said that the trouble
started in row over the right of rival

parasite from the liver and from ul.
GERS in the intestines. Water and
food become contaminated and con
vey the disease to other birds.
Postmortem examinations show the
liver enlarged and with white spots
on the surface which vary in size,
some being no larger than the head
of a pin, while some are one-third
the size of the whole organ.
The disease is common in turkeys
OF all ages. When affected the bird
is dull in appearance, it's wings droop
and it sits around most Of the time.
Dlarrhea is common symptom. The
head turns dark purple after death,
from which fact the disease gets it's
name.
Medical treatment for birds show
ing symptoms of the disease is dis
appointing. Distinction of houses,
yards and watering troughs will help
to control the disease and prevent it's
spread if properly carried out.
Whenever possible move the yards,
at least temporarily. Ground once
infected may remain so for several
months or years and new stock in
troduced without precautions are
pretty sure to contract the disease
Intestinal antiseptics in the drink
ing water have been reported as a
valuable course of treatment. Sui
phocarbolates and potassium perman-
ganate in small quantities in the
drinking water have been used by
some with partial success. These
sulphocarbolates can be purchased
in thirty-grain tablets which may be
dissolved in one quart of water and
administered either as a drink or by
mixing a soft mash with the liquid.
In addition, sick birds should receive
such ncurjshing foods as milk and
eggs.
To insure against loss the safest
course to pursue once the disease has
shown its presence in any flock is to
remove what turkeys you intend to
keep for breeders to an entirely diff
ferent range and market all the re-
naming healthy specimens.
