CHALLENGE.

In view Of the fact that we have
made such good showing in basket
ball for the present year and that
all effort on our part has been to no
avail to arrange a game or series Of
games with the Fairmont High
school. which is the only other team
in the county with record to de-
fend. We hereby CHALLENGE this
school to a series of two games for
the High school championship of
Marion County. One game each to
be played on the other teams floor.
And the third IN case there is need
for such. on some other floor suit
able to both teams.
We believe this to be In all ways
only a just challenge and offer 1t in
the best spirit OF sportsmanslrip pos.

THE LITTLE
GREENH0RN

Greenhorn Is an inelegant term. and
no person cares to be regarded as
one.
This little narrative is true SO true
that It is worth telling. A very young
girl. northern miss, landed in AN
Ohio city. She wanted work, knew
no trade and had to have something.
She answered an advertisement for
nurse maid. She realized she would
have food and shelter in position
Of this kind. But she was told that
wealthy persons desire only compe-
tent and trained help. Nevertheless
she made the application. But she
was asked for her references.
] have none. she replied. am
perfect greenhorn. do not know
the first principle of the work. But
I love children and am a graduate
and can sew and do embroidery. /
must be taught, but you will never
have to tell me but once what ] am
to do.
You see the honesty Of her asser-
ton. She got the position. It paid
IS week. She has been with the
family for seven years. From the
little, unqualified country girl, who
was real greenhorn, she has grad
ually progressed into place of trust
and confidence where her excellent
work commands an excellent salary.
She has won the reputation of be-
ing one Of the most competent nurs.
es in the whole city. and she learned
her art by admitting her ignorance
and asking for chance.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR

Of Danderine.

II you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty Of your hair, besides 1t imme-
diately dissclves every particle of
dandruff. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair If you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength and
its very life, and II not overcome it
produces feverishness and itching Of

fast. Surely get a 25-cent bottle of

"Oh. no. 10. sure mott" Carson
agreed.
Further discussion was cut short by
the appearance Of English Eddie him
self, a tall, handsome man In the early
thirties. who paused just within the
doorway and delivered to Mary bow
that was the perfection Of elegance.
Mary made no effort to restrain the
smile cause by the costume Of Mr..
Griggs. Yet there was no violation
Of the canons of good taste. except
IN the aggregate. From spats to hat,
from walking coat to gloves, every
thing was perfect Of Its kind. Only
there was an overela alteration. SO that
the ensemble was Aamboyant. And
the mans manners precisely harmonic
ed with his clothes. whereby the whole
effect was emphasized and rendered
bizarre. Carson took one amazed look
and then rocked with laughter.
Griggs regarded his former associate
reproachfully for u moment and then
grlnned in frank sympathy.

"Are them things really worth that

eyes downcast.
Mary shook her head decisively.

the best that is in beauty and utility IN
architecture.
Eighty four buildings and eleven ex-
tensions of buildings were completed
in 1918; So buildings and 16 extensions
of buildings were placed under con-
tract, and 1l3 buildings and 16 extern
sions were under construction at the
close CT the year. Contract liabilities
at that time amounted to more tnan
SIS, 200. 900. Buildings authorized by
law but not yet under contract were
sos; extensions were 81. Total extern
sions and buildings completed, under
contract. or authorized l,545. All of
these under the supervision and direct
ion of Mr.. Wenderoth.
Although the White House was about
the first building to be constructed by
the Federal government, architects
throughout the country regard it as
one of the finest examples of architec-
ture in America. James Hoban, an
Irish architect, who had become a citl-
zen Of the United States, and engaged
in bis profession in Charleston, s. g.,
was made the architect after the ac-
ceptance of his design for the building.
This noble structure has history con
nected with every President. Though
Washington never lived in it, he locat-
ed and supervised its erection.
