One day three little girls of our town
were talking among themselves about the
war, and wishing that they might do
something to help win it.
Presently one of them, who haon nao
much to say, but all the while thinking,
raised her head and said; "Oh. | have an
idea. let's organize ourselves into little
hand to be known as Uncle Sans Little
Red Cross Workers. and we'll do every
thing we can to help the Red Cross, Tor
If is surely helping to win the war"
The band was organized, with the fol-
lowing officers
since that day, these three girls have
been doing everything they could to help
the Red Cross. They have had Rummagee
sales and have sold ice cram etc. and
about two weeks ago they sent the SecTe'
tary of our Chapter check tor SOLO
They say they want to nelp oncie
Sam in every possible way, and are gong
to continue this work, and hope soon 10
raise S3824, which will make round
$4,000, as they don't want to stop SNORT
of this amount.
Some Saturdays these girls have work
ed all day without any dinner unless t1eii
mothers sent it to them, so eager ano
anxious were they to do their BIZ: II
they were old enough to go we believe

IS Years Success
The Wonderful Record of Dr..
TEACHERS Liver and
Blood Syrup.

Those medicines which live for even
\ quarter of century are exceptional,
and continuous use for over two-thirds
of century is indisputable evidence Of
wonderful merit.
DR.. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup
came into existence in 1852, and from
that time to the present it has grown
in the confidence and estimation of its
yearly increasing number of users.
Through all these years it has steadily
grown in popular favor.
Its wonderful building up power is
shown in the experience of Mrs. 9. E.
Chadwick, Scale, Ala. ~ was all run
down in health, /" she says. "Weighed
only 1044 pounds and getting worse
every day. 1 began the use of DR..
Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup and
today, am thankful to say, L am in
perfect health and weigh 155 pounds.
I attribute my good health to the use
of that most wonderful medicine. l
1rmly believe there are numerous suf-
fering people that could be sound and
well BY the use of DR.. Thacher's Liver
and Blood Syrup"
If you need a tonic, or blood puri-
fer; if your liver is out of order, your
stomach troubles you, or you are con-
stipated, have indigestion or dyspepsia,
try DR.. Thacher's Liver and Blood
Syrup. 1t is purely vegetable and

therefore should command your atten-
ton. All dealers in medicines sell ~

Aggies and Tigers Meet in Champion

The Missouri Valley basket ball bat
tie ground shifts from Columbia to
Manhattan this week. The Missouri
Tigers and the Kansas Aggies, each
with only a single defeat to mar an
otherwise clean record, will renew the
feud of last year. when the Manhattan
five entered Columb ia in second place
and emerged Missouri Valley cham
pions The important 2game series
is to be played on Nichols court
Wednesday and Thursday.
1t was two years ago that Missouri
last appeared on the Aggie court Also
it has been two years since the Ag-
gies have met with defeat on the
Nichols floor, for since that victorious
invasion by the Tigers. no team has
taken the measure of the Purple five
here.
Eyened Up the Race.
The two teams enter the series
nearly even, with Missouri granted a
slight advantage because of that for
midable record of eleven straight vic

up by last years Aggies. The blow
dealt the Meanwell men by the Kan

the Tiger string and evened up the

MANY STARS CONE
Cleveland Indians, However,
Expect To Be in the Race.
Foil Won't Let Old Man Mars
Get His Goat.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Feb. 25.-No team in
either big league was hit harder by
the war than the Cleveland Indians.
Lee Fohl no more than got PEN
understanding team built up than
along comes ole man Mars and wrecks
Lees playhouse, just like that, taking
so many players away from the fold
that Cleveland fans were left in a daze
for months.
But Fohl and Jim Dunn, the scrap
ply and progressive owner of the
Tribe, have refused to permit Mars
or any other fight manager to lasso
their goats. They contend that there
is going to be a pennant contender
wearing Cleveland uniforms this year
in spite of everything.
They are standing pat on the the
DRY that they will have Steve O'Neill
back as first catcher; Pitchers Bagby,
Coumbe, Coveleskie and Morton; In
FEEDERS Wambsganns, Chapman, Tur-
ne: and probably Joe Harris, and Out
fielders Speaker. Graney and proba-
bly, Bob Roth.
Get More Players.
With this sort of ball club Cleve-
land could put a team in the field
any day that would stack up pretty
fair, bu-, of course, MesSrs. Foil and
Dunn expect to add some playing tai
en-. to the list named here, and some
of the players on the reserve list who
are now counted as lost in the draft
may be enabled to play thru deferred
classification.
AS the liEcup of the talent which
now appears available looks on paper
the Indians are facing some serious
handicaps in filling positions which
are mighty important. First and third
bases are two of the positions. Should
the Indians get Joe Harris back he
can fill the firSt-baSing job. Terry
Turner may be depended on perma-
nently as guardian of the hot corner
but Terry - getting well along in
years anc h9 isn't the Terry of yes
terday by long shot.
The outfield, if Roth is enabled to
play, will be strong enough, but with
out Roth Foil will have another big
niche to fill, and he must dig up a
sub-ou fielder of some class, regard
less.
The Tribes pitchers, it appears, are
about as weak as they can stand to
be. Bagby IS 4 gem and Covelcskie
is star, but there is nothing certain
about the rest. Groome, Wood and
Lambeth are being depended on to
round out the staff
But with all of this Foil is opti-
mistic. He opines that a manager
never knows what he will have until
he gets well thru the training season.
Foil may come up with a strong
team.

HE WANTS A RECEIVER
Fort Scott Man Thinks This Would
Keep Interurban Running.

Pittsburg, Kan, Feb. 25.-Throw-
ing the Joplin & Pittsburg Railway
company into receivership was the
remedy for the stoppage of traffic on
the interurban system serving the
southwestern Kansas mining field that
began when the carmen quit work
February u, when their demands for
higher wages were refused by the
company, proposed by J. 1. Sheppard,
of Fort Scott, at mass meeting Sun
day afternoon that packed the city
hall auditorium.
Sheppard told his audience that he
would prepare a petition to Gov. Ar
thur Capper to come here and investi-
gate the situation or send Atty. Gen.
S. NJ. Brewster here to commence the
receivership suit in district court, or
to have him, Sheppard, file it.
Sheppard called attention to the
fact that some years ago the company
was forced to yield to the demands of
the men by John burlington, Social
list, then sheriff, starting receivership
action.
Kisses greeted Sheppard when. in
discussing the action of w. D. Mahon,
international president of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and Elec-
trio Railway Company Employees, in
revoking the charter of the local, he
charged Mahon with a traitorous act
to labor and said a man who betrayed
labor would not hesitate to be traitor
to his country. A man in the front
row rose and said that a man back of
him suggested that Sheppard was a
liar
James J. Barrett, representing the
department of labor, presided at the
meeting but in presenting Sheppard
he said he did not know what the
nature of Sheppard's advice would be.
United States secret service repre-
sentativeS attended the meeting.
