AT THIS SEASON
LOSS OF APPETITE

Is very common. In many cases it is
due to impure blood, which cannot
give the digestive organs the stimu-
lus necessary for the proper per-
formance of their functions.

that Hoods Sarsaparilla restores
appetite and would advise You TO
give il a trial this season. It origin
ated in the successful prescription of
a famous physician. Get it TODAY.

miliar and who have had the expert
lence of actual varsity games.
There can be no question in the
mind of the coach that a veteran has
a distinct advantage over the green
player. The experience gained in a
crucial game can come in no other
way. One big game experience is
worth a dozen or more contests of the
scrub" sort There are many play
ers who never get over the feeling of
nervousness they have before a game.
but the minute the referees whistle
blows to announce the beginning OF
hostilities, this nervousness is dissi-
pated like mist before the glare of
tropic sun. Actors who have been
for years on the stage admit to this
same sensation before the rise of the
curtain AS soon as the curtain is up,
all is well.
Vets VIII BE Plentiful.
Veterans will be the rule on practi-
cally all OF the teams this season, but
il seems to have been tho rule rather
than the exception that on Just such
occasions the name of some brilliant
newcomer has flashed across the foot
bali horizon. If the chances are
harder for the newcomer, it also is |
fact that If he does make good, he at /
tracts more attention than he other
wiae would. Already We are being re
galed from this point and that about

get the football world by the ears. but

Gravel Bed Condemned

The county, being unable to
get sufficient gravel to complete
surfacing the new Clark county
road, had some gravel beds on
the land of b. f. Berry condemn
cd near Argyle last week. The
gravel adjoins the county road
which runs up Brush creek to
Pilot Knob. Each tide brings
down an abundance of gravel. 1t
is thus now expected to have an
everlasting supply at this point.
The condemnation carries with
1t right. of. way to the gravel for
100 feet on either side of the
creek.

Husking and a HuStling

Farmers are rushing TO get
their corn from the limits Of high
water. They have not forgotten
that last year nearly all the corn
on Red river was swept away the
first of November by a high tide
which was followed a little later
by a higher one. In some in.
stances corn is very sappy, but it
is better to play the safest way.

No. | is just across the street
from out office, and il sure did
do us good to see the good wom-
en- go in and cast their ballots
for the first time. Mrs. ID. II. Dan
iel was the first woman to vote
in Clay City, but she was quickly
and eagerly followed by other
good women. 1t is also crafty
ing to know that every vote, man
and woman, was white, there
not being single colored resi-
dent in the town. The substan-
tial Democratic majority was al
so our pleasure.

tion set the black folks free, and
out Of gratitude to him this race

by Wilson's administration seems
to not have been gratefully re.
ceived by them, but quite to the
contrary.

All Straight Votes

A very peculiar incident to the
vote of this county is the fact
that there was not single cross.
All who voted for COX voted for
Beckham. Likewise, all who vot,
ed for Harding voted for Ernst.
The women took to voting like
duck does to water. But few if
any ballots were lost by them on
account of not properly marking
them.

Lumber Sales Slow

The lumber market Is not only
declining, but it is getting hard
er all the time to sell it. The ex
ceeding high price in the Spring
caused builders to take to brick
and concrete for construction
work instead of lumber, and a
great deal of work planned was
abandoned altogether on account
of high priced material.
