WAR TEACHES GREAT LESSON
Soldiers Returning From France Tell
of Many Advantages of Improved
Highway System.

One of the great lessons at home
which the great war taught us is that
of good roads. Ask any of the sol
diers from "over there" when they
return how they found the roads and
highways of Europe, and ask especial
ly those engineers and members of the
motor corps what, in their estimation,
was one of the greatest advantages the
allies had in the transportation of
food and supplies and they will state
that outside of never ceasing flow of
motortrucks and equipment, the excel
lent highways and roads permitted the
uninterrupted use of this equipment.

ROAD OFFICIALS TO QUALIFY
Of Candidates for Highway
Offices.

Some of the states and cities re-

This is greatly to be desired. Men who
have shown good administrative abil-

HOW TO PREVENT
APPENDICITIS

Appendicitis is primarily due to the
poiSonS formed by deca ying food in tht
bowels. 1t is a disease caused by i'm.
proper and insufficient bowel elimina.
ton. Many people have only a small
passage in the center of the bowels
while the sides are clogged with old
stale, fermenting matter. They may
have a bowel movement every day but
it is not a complete movement and the
old stale matter stays in the system to
ferment and cause trouble. Besides
appendicitis such unclean bowels
cause headaches, stomach trouble and
80 per cent of all other sickness. The
old foul matter sticking to the sides of
the bowels often stays in for months.
poisoning the body and causing that
listless, tired feeling known as auto
intoxication."
: HOW TO AVOID TROUBLE.
The way to avoid sickness and to
keep feeling full of ambition is to
watch your bowels Just as you keep
the outside Of your body clean. you
should also KEEP THE INSIDE
CLEAN 1t is even more important to
keep the bowels clean than 1t is to keep
your body washed. because the millions
of pores in the thirty feet of bowels
quickly absorb poisons generated by
decaying food left carelessly in the
bowels. Don't allow the old. ferment-
ing, filthy stuff to stay in your bowels
for weeks. but GET 1T OUT and keep
1t out, Remember filthy bowels are
the cause of most sickness-no stom-
ach, liver or any other organ can do
its work with foul cesspool sending

BIRD is WORTH PRESERVING
Writer DspIeres the Threatened Tx

Useful Upland Plover.

The upland plover. one of the most
beneficial birds Of all the winged host
that once abounded In North America,
has been hunted and shot to the verge
Of determination, says Dumb Animals.
With the passing Of the passenger
pigeons. which even now so many
friends OF all birds find II hard to be-
lieve and Of which q great many are
moi convinced, the plovers were marked
for wholesale destruction. They were
candidates for oblivion along with
more than score of other useful and
beautiful species that could be III
spared from our vast and valuable ma
tive fauna.
There Is ray of hope that these
birds may not be pursued TO complete
humiliation. The federal law for the
protection of migratory birds makes II
possible for the plover species to re
habilitate itself. provided the closed
season be fixed to continue throughout
the year. The upland plover IL . MI
gratory bird and an insectivorous bird.
Its food consists of 81 per cent Of ami
NAL forms which are chiefly the worst
enemies to agriculture. The federal
law fixes q closed season on migra-
tory insectivorous birds to continue
throughout the year with the exception
OF the bobolink or ricebird. but under

and then the music has been worth

to buyers at high prices. The bidding
throughout was high and the value Of
the individual animals was reached By
practically every buyer.
J.. G. Ford stated Friday; at was one
of the best COW sales / have ever atten-
ded or was ever held in this county.
The bidding on most of the cows start
ed at around 5000 and buyers did not
fool around with small bids. One COW
and a calf alone brought $500 which is
a banner price today.
Other stock than COWS was sold at
the sale but the mixers were the feat
ures of the affair. Farm implements,
hogs and other things were offered to
the buyers and brought good prices.
Among the best prices that were
brought at the sale was a high grade
milk COW to w. D. Johnson for $272.50.
This was the highest price for an IN
dividual animal. One SOW and five
pigs brought STA and T. j. Kelso paid
5000 for a ~five-year-old mare. Meyer
Brothers bought twenty-five sheep for
$3.50. Of the cows sold seven brought
5000 or more and most of the rest only
a small amount under that price. The
heifers all brought around 500.
1t is estimated that the total Of the
sale will lamount to about $4,000. Over
n hundred individual bidders were
present at the sale and many more
there who did not buy.
Charley Arnold paid $675 foc a
span of mules he bought from Clyde
Ovelfelt.
TT. Hoxsey, proprietor of the Hotel
Hoxsey, and his s%on-in-law, John. T.
Buckner, have purchased from r. R.
Buckner, the old Playground property
in southwest Mexico on the Boulevard.
Forty-eight hours after the property
was transferred Mr.. Hoxsey had ten
cows grazing on the beautiful blue
grass pasture as a nucleus for an ex-
elusive dairy to cerve his hotel cafe.
More cows will be added Immediately
until there is a sufficient number to
meet the milk demand at the hotel,
He will also use the property to feed
hogs with the refuse from his cafe
tables. 1t is understood that John +,
Buckner will likely build a handsome
home on the prettiest part Of tho
ground. The property contains an inl-
mensc mule barn made from the old
fair amphitheatre which was remodel
ed when r. r. Buckner purchased the
land from the Fair Association upon
it's being dissolved.
The purchase price was not made
public.
