Notwithstanding the rain Sunday
morning, we had 1T at Sunday
school. When we get our umbrella
brigade organized, we will make the
attendance as large when it rains as
when the sun Shines
Our first quarterly conference for
the year belongs to the past The at
tendance of the official members was
good, the business that came before
it was transacted with dispatch and
to all. Now that we have recorded
our plans let US work for their real
ization. ...
- DR.. Allen A. Thompson, our genial
district superintendent, stayed with
us for our Sunday morning service,
but he refused to preach on account
OF the plans that had been made for
the presenting of the every member
canvass. He, however, said that we
had the best congregation that he
had ever seen in our church at Leon
What would he have said if he had
been with US Sunday evening?
Our Epworth League having out
grown it's quarters upstairs, moved
to the basement last Sunday evening
There were 50 present, that means
that we will have to provide more
chairs for our new quarters.
The seat of the district conference
which has been announced for Thurs
day Of this week, has been changed
from Allerton to Van Vert That
will be just fine drive for those
who have automobiles. Why not
plan to attend?
Remember the Halloween social
in the basement of the church, Fri
day evening, Oct. 20. 1t will be Civ
en- under the auspices of the Epworth
League. Further announcements
next week.

Leon 14-COrydon 16.

In hard fought game featured by
penalties on both sides, Corydon
High School defeated Leon High last
Saturday afternoon by score of 16
to IA. Corydon excelled in inter-
ference and in the use of the forward
pass, which they employed time and
again with good results. Corydon
worked a fake pass twice with gains
of twenty yards. Once they worked
a triple pass for a touch down. Near
ly all of Leon's gains were made by
forward passes from open formations.
The speed which the locals showed
against Graceland College was lack
ing and as a result they were un-
able to use their end runs with much
success
The Leon team made both of their
touch downs as result of series
of long forward passes which carried
the ball clear down the field and
over the last chalk line. The locals
played very poor game on defensive
as we'll as offensive. Corydon's de-
layed line plunging gave them sew
eral good substantial gains. The
first part of the game was quite slow
and uninteresting. But during the
third and fourth quarters there were
plenty of thrills. The visitors had
piled total of sixteen points before
the local scoring machine got to
working. During the last five or six
minutes of play the Leon team put
forth their speed and as result they
were able to score two touch downs.
The only thing that saved the visi-
tors from defeat was time as it was
certain that the locals tactics were
not to be solved.
If the local line had charged more
consistently, the back field would
have been able to gain more ground

SOLDIER BOYS CRY
FOR THEIR MOTHERS

New York July 9-Mrs. Phillip
Snowden, who has arrived here on her
way to the Women's Peace Congress
in San Francisco. told of what a Brit
ish officer had described to her as the
most terrible of the tragedies of the
battlefield.
at is not the shrieks of the wound
ed as they fall" he said, according
to Mrs. Snowden. 1t is not the sight
of the dead as they lie there, but it
is the cry of the wounded boys calling
for their mothers, and there is no one
to do anything for them. They are
the boys of 16 and II and even young
err. They may say, Mother or some
thing equivalent, but in their agony
all those boys call for the one who
has given them the greatest care all
their lives"

.COUNJy'S HIGHEST
TREE BROUGHT HERE
IT'S ga FEET HIGH, AND WILL BE
USED AS "GIN POLE" AT
M. c. SHOPS.

The tallest pine pole brought to Hat
tiesburg in recent years is that lOcat-
ed in the forests surrounding the Leaf
River Camp yesterday, which was
brought to Hattiesburg this morning
and is being used in replacing the
downtown smOkestack of the railroad
shops of the Mississippi Central.
The pole is "a feet long 1t is Z
inches in diameter at the top and
about Is inches at the bottom. 1t is
being used as the gin pole" and plays
the principal part in raising the
smokestack which was blown down
during the recent storm a few weeks
ago.
The pole was so long and so heavy
that a span of mules and a pair of
oxen could not bulge it from the
place where it was fe1led. A block
and tackle became necessary. 1t took
four hours to haul the pole from the
swamp to the railroad shops. Walk
er and Roseberry had the contract for
hauling the pole.

SAYS ALFALFA is
GOOD FOR BLUES

Chicago, July 9.-Members of the
American Institute of Homeopathy
concluded their annual convention
here today and adjourned. DR.. Frank
Branen, of Chicago, attacked the
treatment of rheumatiau.
rheumatism is widely variable"
said DR.. Branen. 'Its cause is not
uniform. Consequently it is not pos
sible to obtain uniform results from
any one antitoxin. The treatment.
furthermore, is not devoid of danger"
Alfalfa as a remedy for Indigestion
and mental depression was recon-
mended by DR.. Alexander L. Black
wood, of Chicago He told OF expert
ments made with the new remedy at
a Chicago hospital.
During the past year observations
were made of the action of alfalfa on
seventeen persons he said. "All of
them noted that they grew so hungry
that they could scarcely wait for their
meals. Their minds were clear and
bright. all bodily functions were slim
ulated, and it was impossible to have
the blues"
