SUCCESS ATTENDS LO-
 CAL EASTER SERVICES

Easter day closed with many expressions of joyfulness. Prac- tically all the churches in this section of the country observed the sacred occasion with special services and music, beautiful in spirituality. The greater por- tion of the day was delightful an ideal spring day and num- erous Easter egg hunting parties were organized and in evidence. A special prayer meeting service was held at the Methodist church at 6:30 Sunday morning and other churches had the regular hour services with special Easter sermons.
 Easter this year was one of the sixth Easters which occurred In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as late in the year as April 23rd. Easter fell on 23rd in the year 1848 and 1905. It will occur again in the year 20O0. April 18th, 1886 is the latest day on which we have record of Easter ever having been celebrated, while March 23, 1913 is the earliest. The moon de- termines the date of the festal day, being the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox, March 2lst.

MRS. MCRAVEN IN RE-
 C|TAL AT OPERA HOUSE

Mrs. John McRaven gave a beautiful and pleasing recital at the opera house Saturday night. The title of the drama rendered was Nanny" and depicted the anti-bellum times, picturing the life of the Old South as it was lived on an old Mississippi plan tation during the war. The en- tertainment was under the aus pices of the local Christian En- deavor Society who took a great interest in the occasion and were largely instrumental in making it the success it proved to be.
 What made this recital more interesting to Ozark people was that Mrs. McRaven is a daughter of Mir. and Mrs. DIM. McGraw, of Altus. but who formerly resided in Ozark. Mrs. McRaven was born in Mississippi and was prin- cipally raised in Franklin county. She possesses a rich mine of talent and although the role she essayed was somewhat difficult she did not seem to experience the least difficulty in pleasing her appreciative and attentive audience. The play was in four acts and was introduced by singing some of the old familiar songs by local talent, with Miss Louise Nichols at the piano. Mrs. McRaven was introduced by Roy Bell, one of our most enthusiastic Christian Endeavor workers.

COachman Worth 100000
Performs Same Service He
Has Been Doing Is Years
By Associated Press

Chicago, July 90. - Although Will
liam Beattie, eoachman for the late
James Hobart Moore, multi-million-
aire, is said to possess property valued
at more than one hundred thousand
dollars, he is to-day performing the
service which has been his custom for
nearly 25 years.
Beattie had been in the employ of
Moore for some years when as a re-
suit of his Diamond Match operations
the multi-millionaire had become a
pauper over night.
i was in an awful fix" Mr.. Moore
used to say Il was worth less tan
nothing when Beattie came to me- He
had been to the bank and drawn out
every cent he had saved-$2, 900.
Take it, he said, I got it from you.
and you're welcome to keep it as long
as you want it,"
Mr.. Moore accepted the sum to tide
him over some minor transactions
which brought him large profits and re-
established his credit. Then came the
organization of the companies which
brought great wealth to the Moores.
Moore never forgot the service OF
Beattie He paid back the $4,000
many times over, and placed Beattie in
the way OF investments that netted
him more than 100000. Anyone
who worked for Mr.. Moore could have
done what I did," said Beattie after the
funeral of has late employer yesterday
at Lake Geneva.

Thin Men and Women
Here's a Safe and Easy Way by
Which You May Gain 10
Pounds or More of Solid,
Healthy, Permanent
Flash

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to say,
Il can't understand why I do not get
fat. eat plenty of good nourishing
food" Che reason is just this: You cam
not get fat, no matter how much you
eat. unless your digestive organs asst
milate the fat-making elements of your
food instead of passing them out
through the body as waste.
What is needed is a means of gently
urging the assimilative functions of
the stomach and intestines to absorb
to the blood, where they may reach the
starved, shrunken, rundown tissues
and build them up. The thin persons
body is ike dry sponge-eager ana
hungry for the fatty materials of
which it is being deprived BY the fail
them from the food. A splendid way of
working to overcome this sinful waste
of flesh building elelnents and to stop
the leakage of fats is to try Sargol, the
fam US flesh building agent that has
been so widely sold In America in re-
with every meal and see if your cheeks
don't quickly fill out and rolls of frm,
healthy flesh form over your body, COW
ering each bony angle and projecting
point. Geo. A. Gorsas and other good
druFgist9 have Sargol or can get it
with the gain in weight it produces as
stated on the guarantee in each large
package. 1t is inexpensive, easy to take
and highly efficient.
NOTE:-Sargol is recommended only
results in cases of nervous indigestion,
etc, have been reported, care should be
taken about using it unless a gain of
weight is desired.-AdvertiSe

British and Germans Both
Regard DelUille Wood as
Vital; Now See-Sawing
By Associated Press

British Headquarters in France,
July 20. What the Trones Woods
was after the first big advance by the
British. the Delville Wood promises to
become after the second, the Germans
considering it equally vital to their
present line of defense. South Africans,
including both British and Beers, took
1t most gallantly after the British
broke the second line of defenses last
week but were over brave, eager and
inexperienced in this kind OF warfare.
In the last "a hours the Germans
have been massing troops and de-
Veloping counter attacks with the re-
suit that something of the same kind
or see-sawing as at Trones Woods, has
taken place among the fallen trees,
branches, underground and shell
craters.
The Germans threw a division at
the South Africans last night, aiming
TO recover both Delville Wood and the
village of Longueval with the result
that the South Africans, who insisted
that they could hold the wood without
help were outnumbered and had to
give ground. The Germans got
possession OF more than half of the
wood and some houses OF the villages
along the side of the wood. British
reintorcements coming up soon check
ed the attack and at this writing they
hold half the wood and all the village
which throughout the day could be
seen to be under a heavy shell fire
from the German guns, indicating
that the British had possession of It.
The Germans also shelled Montauban
ana the approaches to Longueval-
put the British artillery replied in
larger volume than the Germans.

NO NEED TO
FEAR Badness

Tells How to Make Hair Grow Thick
and Lustrous on Bald and Thin Spots
Thousands of people who note with
alarm the steady falling and thinning
of their hair and have tried nearly
every advertised hair grower and hair
tonic without success, fear the time
when they shall be totally bald. Yet
their case is not hopeless if they will
adept the following simple hair drill
recommended by a prominent hair
specialist, and daily massage their
scalp with a little genuine Partisan
Sage in the liquid form.
First, massage the scalp with me-
dunn stiff hair brush, to start a good
blood circulation then part the hair
and pour a little of the Sage on the
bare scalp and rub in vigorously with
the thumb and finger tips. Go over
the entire head in this manner until
the scalp tingles.
This will only take a few minutes
daily, and can be done just before go
ing to bed. A few ounces of Partisan
Sage used in this manner should pre-
vent any further loss of hair and cause
a new hair growth to appear on the
thin spots.
This preparation is highly recon-
mended by H c. Kennedy and is
absolutely harmless, as it contains
none of the poisonous wood alcohol,
or the sulphur, so frequently found in
oil dinary hair tonics. Partisan Sage
will not make the hair greasy, and
can be obtained at drug and toilet
counters everywhere.

Russians Now Threaten
German Communications

London, July 20.-The Russian op-
erations are again becoming interest
ing. The Russian military critics dwell
on what they describe as the me-
chantcal regularity" of the strategic
and tactical blows dealt by Russia on
her various fronts and the absence of
any indications that the enemy forces
are able effectively to parry them.
The recent Russian successes have
brought them much nearer Vladimir
Vlyski and Kovel, and the German
communications between Kovel and
Lemberg are threatened by the Rus
sian advance to Stoyanoff and Sokal,
preliminary to the investment of Lem
berg.
In Transylvania the Russians have
obtained two important eastern passes
in the Carpathians, Jablonitza and
Kirlibaba, while they also hold COM
mand of the Delatyn- Budapest rail-
way. Their cavalry is moving in the
rear of General Planners forces be-
tween Kimpolung and Kuty, and ap-
parently the invasion of Hungary has
begun.
The Russian advance also continues
successfully in Asia Minor
