GAME
RESULTED IN TIE
After Hard Fought Contest, Neither
Team Could Win a VictOry-Big
Crowd Present.

One Of the most exciting football
games ever played in Greenwood was
staged yesterday, Thanksgiving, when
the Winona High School team met the
Greenwood Highs and the hard fought
contest resulted in tied score of
o to O.
A crowd, said to be the largest that
has ever attended local school game,
was present. It is estimated that one
thousand persons witnessed the, game.
Greenwood was outweighted about
twenty pounds to the man, but despite
this handicap they swept their oppo-
nents off their feet and keep the fight
in the Winona territory during the
greater part of the game. Greenwood
was penalized IS yards to the oppos-
ing team five yards.
Charley Abbott and Evan Fuller did
splendid defensive work, while Louie
Orlansky and Howell Peel featured in
offensive mandeuvers.
The local high school is planning to
make the game with Winona an an
nual affair to take place each Thanks
giving Day.

THE ITNERAM

creased More Than 5000.
Associated Press

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 28-Condi-
tions in the republic which have
crowded a million persons in Mexico
City, or more than 100000 above its
normal population, have greatly IN
creased the number of itinerant mer-
chants who set up shop where their
whim wills. 1t is impossible to find
street in the city where some ven
dor has not set up stall. A person
desiring to outfit a house can buy
almost everything needed without
placing foot within a regular shop
Let a prospective buyer merely hint
that he is in the market for something
and he is Immediately besieged by a
crowd of energetic statesmen who dill
ate in machine-gun Spanish on the
worth of their wares.
Sunday is the busiest day for these
merchants. They foregather princi-
pally in the plazass spread htei1
goods about them and patiently wait
for customers. Their numbers are
augmented by men and women, boys
and girls all of them selling candies
fruits, shoestrings, pottery, tobacco
bright-colored ribbons, shoes, hats,
dogs, cats, gophers, and the dozens OF
varieties of food of which chill is the
most important component. The pla-
zas present an animated appearance
Bands are playing, whistles are blow
ing, newsboys call their editions, a
man with a wheel of chance beseech'
es the credulous to try their luck,
boy with a huge basket balanced atop
! his head offers sweetmeats at five
cer+avos each and following him
comes a seller of ice cream with his
frozen dainties tucked away in con-
tanned which he juggles perilously or
his head but never loses spoonful
and shines glorious sun which gives
no hint Of brooding problems Of exist
ence.
1t is a happy life the native leads
on Sunday when with few centavos
he may fill his stomach with sweets,
bask in the warm sunshine and listen
to music furnished by Mexican band
than which there is no better in any
| land. y
A. man from the United States
who, on a recent Sunday morning
took seat in plaza, within few
minutes had his shoes shined, his
nails manicured, his breakfast serv'
ed, his morning newspapers delivered
his measure taken for a suit of cloth

diamonds and opals at a bargain. III
concluded that there may be more
modern methods of conducting busl
ness but there certainly is none more

DECIDE SEIZE
THE COAL MINES
Government Will Also Use Troops
To Protect Those Who Will Work
Drastic Steps Planned.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S-The sei-
zure OF the bituminous coal mines,
where the owners have not shown dis
position to cooperate for increasing
the production, and the use of troops
to protect the miners who desire to
work, was decided upon by the gov
ernment in an effort to end the coal
strike, it was stated officially today.
In the mines seized by the govern
ment, fourteen per cent of the wage
advance, agreed upon by the cabinet,
will be put into effect, it is said.
It IS said there is no general plan
for the government control of the
mines and each individual case will
be decided on it's merits.
DRASTIC STEPS BE TAKEN.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28-With the
wage negotiations conference dis
banded, without having accomplished
anything further than bring down on
the heads of the government criticism
from the miners and operators alike.
Officials of both the miners and oper-
ators organizations have professed an
inability today to forecast what the
next forty eight hours will bring
forth. Both admitted they are await
ing the governments next move. In
official circles, views were expressed
that only drastic action would be pos
sible.
The conference disbanded late yes
terday afternoon, after the miners
representatives had rejected Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield's proposition of
fourteen per cent wage increase.
FUEL SITUATION CRITICAL.
CHICAGO, Nov. 28-Cold weather,
with snow and sleet in the Middle
West and South west, has rendered
the fuel situation more critical today,
with the coal shortage acute in a
number of small cities and towns. A
moderation of the cold wave is pre-
dicted by tomorrow the forecasts
state.
However, in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia, the
miners are apparently firm in their
determination not to return to work
until wage agreement is reached.
Governor Allen of Kansas, is calling
for volunteers to work in the mines.
Governor Gardner of Missouri, an
nounces he will call conference of
the governors unless the government
acts today. In Kansas City, Mo-, the
schools and theatres have been closed.

BUCHAREST, Nov. 28-The Rum
anian government is pre-occupied
with the task of extending its admin
istrative functions to the territory the
kingdom will acquire under the peace
treaty. With Transylvania, Bukovina
and a part of Bessarabia and the
Banat added to its domains, the coun-
try will be called upon to meet with
many difficult problems treble in area
and numbers. It is regarded here as
not improbable that the next Ruman-
ian cabinet will have in it q number
Of representatives from Transylvan-
in. Indeed some see indications that
the next Prime Minister will be M

tive Council of Transylvania.

A SISTER OF THE
PATRIARCH OF THE
Assyrians, The Present Day Remnant
OF The Once Powerful Nomadic
Tribes OF Mesopotamia.
Associated Press

LONDON, Nov. 28-There is a
woman in London around whose story
the minstrels of old would have wo-
ven many ballad, says the Daily
News.
She is The Lady Surma di Bith
Mar Shimun, sister of the ruling
Patriarch of the Assyrans, the pres
ent day remnant Of the once power
full nomadic tribes which inhabited
Mesopotamia before the incursions
of the Arabs. The country whence
she comes has been identified by some
with the Garden Of Eden.
Travelling by steamer by train and
on horseback, she has come altogeth-
er some 5000 miles from town 500
miles beyond Bagdad to plead, as the
agent of her people, for the restora-
tioh of lands lost by them when they
took arms in behalf of the Allies
against the Turks and Kurds.
Driven further and further into
their mountain Businesses by repeat
ed invasions and massacres, the sur
viving $4,000 of her people have been
gathered together at Bakuba, where
they are living under the protection
of the British civil and military auth
critics.
II came to England much against
my WILL" said The Lady Surma who
speaks English perfectly. 81 have
never been to Europe before. But
there was no one else to come. My
brother, the late ruling Patriarch,
was killed by Kurd. treachery; my
younger brother, who succeeds him, is
i'll and another brother is serving the
people who would trust nobody else.
'sIt may seem strange to you that a
woman should be chosen for such a
difficult task, but it has been the ira
dition of our nation that the sister
of the heir should take the vow of
celibacy and act as her brothers help
er during his reign.
The territory for which she is
pleading with the British government
is the oldest known to historians. 1t
lies south of the Caucasus and north
Of the Euphrates@ and is the scene of
many incidents in the Old Testament
story. The life of the people who
have been Christians since the days
of the earliest teachers, has been one
long story of persecution, culfinating
in their flight over the mountains in
1918.
yOur villages were razed behind
u.s." sadly said The Lady Surma, all
our flocks have been driven away,
our people stolen and exhausted, our
fiocks have been driven away, our
money stolen and exhausted, our
documents burned. We are people
without country

CALL NEW VENIRE
IN FERRIS CASE
One Hundred Men to Report TOmOr
row MOrning-Case May Go Into
Next Week.

Sheriff T. C.. Carrot and his aides
are securing the county this after
noon in search of one hundred men
drawn as a second special venlre IN
the Ferris case, to report tomorrow
morning; the Court is busy working
with the regular juries in an effort
to Gull one or two men who car
qualify from that limited number anc
with the exception of eleven men who
at noon occupied seats in the jury box
the first special venire of two hun.
dred men have gone their various
ways.
The effort to secure jury to try
the case was begun shortly afternoon
Thursday. Predictions that a jury
could not be secured from the special
venire were heard on all sides. These
proved to be based on good logic as
the venire was exhausted at one
O'clock this afternoon.
At ten o'clock Thursday night ten
chairs in the jury box were filled. The
first thing this morning one man was
excused. At ten forty-five the box
was full, three men being accepted II
a row after a score or more had been
Toned. A minute later the state
had used four of it's challenges anc
the tedious ssvSa,sy-as renewed. Botf
sides have SEX challenges to the
good vet and itNg not expected that
a jury will be secured before all are
used up. However, there was no ap,
parent determination on the part OF
either side this morning to force q
long drawn out fight over the jury
Practically every man questioned hat
heard of the case and had formed az
opinion.
District Attorney Forman and Coun
ty Attorney Means Johnston are be

The defendant Ferris, sat this
morning surrounded by his attorneys
Tt all outward appearance he was
cain although on trial charged with
criminal assault, the penalty in which
case, if found guilty, is death. On his
right side sat brother. On his left
sat M. Y. Aldridge, jointly indicted
with him, but who was granted a sew
erante when the men were arraignet
last Monday morning.
With the exception of the lawyers
and court attendants there was scar
cely hundred other people in thu
court room during the morning ses
sion. These were all men except five
A deputy sheriff at the door examined
every one as the door was entered
It is understood that no trouble i:
being looked for but that the search
ing of everyone is only precaution

Unless jury is secured early to
morrow the case which is attracting
so much interest throughout this sec
tion will probably extend over well in
to next week.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy OF
have bladder trouble-Take
glass Of Salts

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
Kidneys or your back hurts or i, the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with Gthia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine 80 it no longer causes irritation
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and csuno1
