All Set For
The Big Games

Basketball interest is wrought up
to the highest tension with the ap-
proach of the Medford-Ashland SER
les. Neither team is given more than
an even chance of winning the series,
and a tie which would necessitate the
playing Of fifth game on a neutra.
floor may become necessary. The
first game is played Friday at Med
ford, the second game Saturday night
at the Ashland high school gymnasi-
um here. Already nearly all of the
reserved seats for Saturdays game
are gone. One entire side of the
house has been reserved by Medford
Tooters. Medford will come up 500
strong, bringing their band and some
new roofing stunts. Ashland rooters
have an entire section to themselves
and viii stage some unique roofing
effects. On Friday night a special
train will cary the Ashland fans to
Medford, accompanied by the Ashland
band Every available automobile in
town will be in service and about 500
fans will 60 down.
The Medford team is said to be in
prime condition for the contests and
hopes to win the games on their own
floor easily. Ashland goes down de-
termined to upset the dope and win
from Coach Klums team on their own
swimming rink. The Medford sport
writers have lost no opportunity to
build up an alibi which will come in
handy in case their team loses at Ash
land by constant references to Ash !
lands "cigar-box" floor. The floor
was carefully measured and was
found to be seven feet longer and five
feet wider than required by the bas-
ketball rule book. The Ashland floor
is practically the same length as Med
ford's and but few feet narrower.
1t is larger than two-thirds of the
playing floors in the state, the best
lighted in the state, has baskets which
are set solidly, and is regulation in
every respect except that which re-
quires three feet OF space back of the
side lines, and in that respect the
Medford floor is worse, having sidings
OF rough boards and no outside lines
except at the end.
The Ashland boys have it over the
red and black team by about five
pounds on the weight average, for
although Fraley is by far the lightest
on either team, Delsman is the heavi-
est by still wider margin. The Med
ford team has a defense which nothl
ing but brilliant passing and phenom-
enal basket shooting can score over.
Ashland can win if the team plays the
game of which they are capable.
Neither team has an exceptionally
strong center, Harris, the Ashland
man, having the edge because of his
superior shooting ability. Ashland's
weak point in the games which they l
have lost was inability of the for
wards to watch the running guards,
but this fault has been overcome. y
During the past week the team has :
been practicing against a town team
and have improved wonderfully in n
their passing. "
Cooper, who gave perfect satisfac- r.
ton in the past two series, will come e
up from the Willamette valley to ref
cree the series and will eliminate any r
possibility of jangling over decisions. I
Both teams are confident of vic
.ory. So are the rooters. 1t will be
some" series.

know if the sheriff was alone or if
he had mob with him.
When informed that the sheriff was
alone he lighted a lamp and let the
sheriff in. The sheriff asked him ie
he knew anything about the shoot
ing and Bousman replied that he
knew all about it and told the fol-
lowing story:
He said he had gone up the road
to Akers' place with the intention
of killing the couple when they drove
out to church, but his heart failed
him, declaring that he could not
shoot man who was not armed. He
then strated down the road, and
when the Akers' rig caught up to him
Mrs. Akers called to him to get out
of the road.
He then turned around and shot
both horses, killing them, shot Mrs.
Akers through the breast, killing her
instantly; shot Akers through the
head, seven shots being fired in all,
with seven empty
shells found at the scene of the shoot
ng.
Bousman claims that after he shot
he horses he did not know what hap
)ened, but tells the story of the rest

Ikers had complained to the county

'ection his precinct had voted to al
ow hogs to run at large and that he
'as in part justified in the killing on

Bedtime Story For the Little Ones

BY HOWARD r. GARIS.

tSHID you hear the news, Uncle
Wiggily?" asked Nurse Jane

evening in the dining room of the hol-

but she is i'll, and the party Will not

Mamie i'll? That's too bad" said
Uncle Wiggily, kindly "rll go over
to see her after I have my supper. She
may need cheering up a bit. Yes, I'll
go see her"
So after he had finished eating Uncle
Wiggily put on his tall silk hat that
was like a piece Of the stovepipe and
away he went, over the fields and
through the woods, to the house where
the little goat girl lived with her
brother Billie and her Uncle Butter.

answer. Il hope 1 did not scare you?"

Wiggily. But what are you doing

"but you know how Mother Goose had

Frank did not once look up at his com

disturb him.
In half and hour, the hilltops leveled
out into the high pla teau upon which
Rochester lay and soon they could see

the surrounding tree tops. With a cir

There was something in his expression
that seemed to indicate that suspicion

Sayville assumed the severe mien OF
a judge passing sentence.
Because" he said. 81 saw that you

Frank flushed but looked defiant

For a long minute. Two Fisted Frank

, You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a wom-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood-makfng oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
sion aftersickness. Nurses everywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

Various Forms
OF Headache

1T is necessary in order to treat head
aches properly TO understand the causes
which produce the affection" says DR.. ]. ".

Physicians cannot even begin the treat
ment Of a disease without knowing what
causes give rise 90 st, and we must remem-
Der that headache is to be treated accord
ing to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to give a remedy intended to
cOunteract the cause which produces the
headache. but we D1ust also give a remedy
20 relieve the pain until the cause Of the
trouble has been removed. To answer this
purpose, antLkRmnia tablets will be found
most convenient and satisfactory remedy
One tablet every one TO three hours gives
comfort and rest in the most severe cases
OF headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headaches Of women"
When we have a patient subject to regular
nttacks OF sick headache, we should caution
him to keep his bowels regular, for which
nothing is better than "Actoids," and when
be feels the least sign OF an oncOmfnR at
tack. he should take two AK Tablets. Such
patients should always be instructed to
carry a few anti-kRmuia tablets, so as to
have them ready for instant use. These
tablets are prompt IN action and can be
depended on TO produce relief in very
few minutes. Ask for AK Tablets.

He is smiling.
"GOod-by," called Uncle Wiggily, and
on he went to the Wagtail goats house

have her bunny uncle call, and more

then the woods were made almost as
bright as day, for the moon rose over

Wiggily could see the path. and
stumbled no more.
How is that?" asked the moon-man,
beaminp down on Uncle Wiggily. "Do
I make IL light enough for you?''
yes, indeed Fine" said the bunny
uncle. 81 can see all right now. Thank

So the mOon-man- whose mouth no
