Earliest School Books.

Among the discoveries in the archaeo-
logical excavations in ancient Baby
lonia are some stone tablets believed
to have been used as schoOlbooks in
the first regular school ever held in
the world. They are in the collection
of the University of Pennsylvania.
These prehistoric text books have
marks proving that they were used in
a school conducted in a temple in Nip
pur more than 2.3OO years B. g. This
school is known to have been in ex-
istence at least 1000 years. and no
records have yet been found to indi-
cate the existence of any preceding it.
The tablets contain notes upon several
sciences. evidently made upon the
stone surface by stylus. Several of
them contain two forms of characters.
indicating that the pupils attempted
to copy the work of the teacher.

sAUK CENTRE TRIMS WILLARD
Local Football Aggregation Dazzles
Visitors With Overhead and
Off-Tackle Plays. -

Playing rings around their oppon-
ents with a speed and dash that was
at times fairly dazzling, the Sauk
Centre high school football team
swamped the Wizard High school ag-
gregation at the fair grounds last
Saturday under a 66 to 6 score. Viii
lard was outplayed at every angle of
the game and never had a chance to
win.
The locals showed great improve
ment over previous games and, sting
ing under the defeat suffered recently
at the hands of the Pope county lads,
went after the visitors from the first
kickoff whistle. In two minutes of
play, Captain Pangburn found that
the center of the Willard line was a
stonewall. Switching his attack, the
little quarter sent the backs crashing
through the tackles or circling around
the ends. At the end of the first quar-
ter the locals had crossed the goal line
twice. Pangburn kicked both goals,
making the score ID TO o. Both scores
were made on straight football.
In the second quarter Captain Pang-
burn again resorted to straight play,
smashing at tackles and ends and an
other touchdown and goal brought the
score to FL to 0.
After the rest between halves and,
feeling confident that Willard could
not overtake the locals, Captain Pang-
burn turned loose the aerial stuff
evolved by Coach Lucas and the
slaughter began. Repeated perfect
and accurate triple and ouadruple
passes pulled by the .ocal backs and
ends bewildered the visitors and five
tcuchdowns were quickly rolled up.
Lee, Pangburn, Farr and Barry were
the stars in the overhead game. Lee
was as cool as cucumber in his hurl-
ing and almost invariably hurled per-
fectly. His teammates on the receiv-
ing end were equally sure and certain
and many of the triple passes were
pulled so fast that the spectator could
not follow the ball. The locals added
two more touchdowns in the last quar-
ter but were robbed of shutout by a
surprising brace taken by the visitors.
Getting the ball on Sauk Centres
twenty-yard line on a fumbled kick,
Wizard resorted to the short pass game
and worked the ball to within six in
ches of the Sauk Centre line. Here
the locals held twice but on the third
try Hopkins of the visitors went over.
The feature of the game was the big
improvement in the locals, the flashy
overhead work and the line smashing
of Allen, Lee and Gamradt. The line

Importance Of Breathing Pure Air.


Importance Of Breathing Pure Air.
The breathing OF carbon monoxide
nfiects that portion of the blood that
carries the oxygen, called the hemo-
globin. The entire body is fed with
oxygen, which is carried BY the hemo-
globin in the blood. Tho blood re-
ceives this oxygen from the air In the
lungs. When q person breathes an at
mosphere containing carbon monoxide,
the latter destroys the hemoglobin,
and, instead e the blood furnishing
the body w1tA oxygen, it supplies the
poisonous carbon monoxide. Another
.e.niit .s that the carbon dioxide. which
ista-waste product Of the human sys-
tenn, and is normally carried by the
blood to the lungs and there thrown
on, is not eliminated rs readily In
ease Of carbon-u,Qnoxide poisoning.

G. a feet Of boats from Japan landed

almost the sole survivors Of the orr

lived on the best lands which they

driven out by invaders who came with

boats which were carried across tho
