On last Friday morning Judge Huck
delivered very helpful address to
the student body of the High School.
Every sentence was thrilled with a
sincere love for humanity, and a sa-
cred devotion to God. He emphasized
the Importance of pure life, lofty
ambitions, and a constant and worthy
purpose in life. He recommended
Christianity and life of prayer to
those who would overcome the adj
verse temptations of life. His COM
ing was a blessing to the school, and
very much appreciated.
Saturday night, the 18th, was a.
busy time at the High School build
ing. The Marvin College Basketball
girls played the High School girls on
the local court before crowded house.
The game was clean and exciting
throughout, but the Pennington girls
had the better Of the contest, much to
the surprise of the followers of the
game in this section. From games
previously played by both teams it
looked like Marvin should have no
trouble in winning a victory. The To-
cal girls, however, have been doing
some consistent practice and have de-
veloped scoring machine that prom
ises to surprise a number of other
teams on their schedule. The score
was 10 to A in favor of Pennington.
After the basketball game car
nival was opened to the public in the
H. S. building that entertained large
number of visitors to the entire sat
isfaction of everyone present. 1t al
so enriched the Golfers of the H. S.
Athletic Association to considerable
extent. The thanks of the Associa-
ton are hereby extended to the
friends who helped to make the car
nival a success, and to an apprecia-
tive public for their generous sup
port.

DIR. E. G. SIMMONS MADE
GENERAL MANAGER OF
THE PAN AMERICAN LIFE

Friends of DR.. E. G. Simmons, who
made his home for several years here
and who married a Pennington girl,
may be interested in the. business sue
cess which has attended him. Fer
four years he has been one of the
vice presidents and agency manager
of the Pan-American Life Insurance
Company of New Orleans. At meet
ing of the Board of Directors of that
company on the 7th inst, he was
made First Vice President and gen.
eral manager. But let the New Or
leans Daily States tell that story.
That paper says:
preparatory to putting into effect
plans for materially widening the
scope of operations and the volume
of business of the Pan-American Life
in 1916, E. G. Simmons, who was one
of the active organizers of the Com
pany and has been its agency mana
ger since the company commenced
business, was promoted to the office
of vice president and general man
ager-- and will have full charge of
the company's insurance and under
writing operations.
"Prior to his removal to New Or
leans several years ago, Mr.. Simmons
was actively identified with other sue
cessful life insurance companies, and
his promotion now announced by
| President Ellis is in recognition OF the
successful manner in which e the
Agency Department of the Pan-Amer-
lean Life has been conducted during
the past four years-the company now
having in force nearly eighteen and a
half millions of business.
I "The operations of the Pan-Amer-
lean Life and its development in the
Southern States and Central Ameri-
can Republics in which it is now OPP
Grating have built up in New Orleans
one of the largest financial institu
lions of its kind in the South-its re
sources being in excess of $2,800,000.
and with the opening of the new veal
: the company will extend its operations
i into several other states, on a yer!
much more extensive scale than il
the past"

FORD AUTO BASIS OF SUIT.
Winner in Newspaper Subscription
Contest Decided by Supreme
Court.

Although a Ford automobile of
the pattern of 1912 was the basis of
the case of Esther Smead VS.. Clar-
ence M. Stearns, appellant, OBrien
county, the Supreme court in affirm
ing the decision of the lower court,
Thursday refrained from springinS
any Ford jokes.
Stearns conducted the Sheldon
Mail, a weekly paper. In 1912 he put
on subscription contest, offering a
Ford automobile as first prize. Es-
Their Smead and a Miss Cole were
the leading candidates. At the end
of the contest ten $40 bills were vot-
ed for Miss Cole, each bill being
worth 10000 votes. The publisher
of the paper declared Miss Cole the
winner. Mrs. Smead appealed to the
courts
The Supreme court holds that
while newspaper contest Of this
character is a legal and proper pro-
ceeding, $40 bills do not constitute
ballots, therefore Mrs. Smead should
have been declared the winner of
the machine.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
Strengthened by DEBORAH EXperien'
ceS.

Kidney disease is too dangerous
to neglect At the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat, take things easier and
use a reliable kidney tonic. There's
no other kidney medicine so well
recommended as Doan's Kidney Pills.
DEBORAH people rely on them.
Here's one of the many statements
from DEBORAH people.
Chas. o. Moore, farmer, w. Water
ST., DEBORAH, says:-"At times, |
have severe pains across my kidneys
and | can hardly bend over to put
on my shoes. The action OF my Kid
neys is irregular and often my an
kles swell / always use Doan's Kid
ney Pills, procured from Wangler's
Pharmacy, at such times and i am
fixed up in quick order. | recommend
them at every opportunity"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same

Voters Have Right to Choose Officers

Voters Have Right to Choose Officers
1t is legal to write the name of a
candidate on the election ballot even
though the person named was not a
candidate at the primary, the Su-
preme court ruled Thursday in re-
versing the Dallas county District
court in the case of Robert S. Barr
VS.. w. w. Cardell, appellant
Barr was the only candidate for
judge of the Superior court of Perry
to have his name printed on the bal
lot in 1914 He received PA votes
The name of w. w. Cardell was writ
ten on the ballot as a candidate for
the judgeship. He received 440 votes
and was declared elected. Barr ap-
pealed to the District court, where
a decision was given holding that
Cardell was not regularly elected.
The Supreme court reverses this
finding.
The decision is important for the
reason that it determines that voters
have the privilege of casting ballot
for persons although their names are
not printed on the ballot.
