a team from Montreal to play
our youngsters in basketball on
Saturday night, January 31st.,

a wonder. We all know the
kind of teams Mr.. Speers can
produce and if he has as good
a team as he produced in Base
ball in Island Pond last year
there ought to be something
doing. Mr.. Speers comes on
the afternoon express from
Montreal and we are sure he
would appreciate grand well
come that the people of Island
Pond are sure to give him. He
has done a great deal to help
our boys and now is the time to
support him by turning out in
a body and show him that we
can play the same clean game
that he taught us.
He also has an added attrac-
tion which all comes under the
one admission. After the
game he is to show five reel
feature picture, "Tell it to the
Marines. This is a picture
featuring many of our veterans
of the World War. Mr.. Speers
brings this attractive picture
and his snappy Canadian Bas-
ketball Stars to battle with A
merica's Basketball Team of Is
land Pond. The price is easy
and should be met by all who
are interested in the BOYS and
MR.. SPEERS. Admission 20

Holworthy Hall

It is a rare occasion when
you can pick up three repre-
sentative magazines or three
periodicals of current date and
not find in one of them a story
by Holworthy Hall. Such is his
popularity. He is probably the
most widely read and discussed
fiction writer of the day. 1t is a
position well earned, for his
work is uniformly meritorious.
"The Man Nobody Knew" one
of his oldest and most inter-
esting creations, has been Sc
cured for serial reproduction
in this paper. Be sure to get
the first installment, otherwise
you will miss the finest point

 Game of Season

Led by the splendid all-round good work of Red Hughes, center, the Mis- sissippi "A. & NJ. basketball five romped on the local B. A. c. quintet here last Tight, g to 2.
 The first half was as even as any cage period could be. The score at the end Of this half was Il to Il. The first few minutes of play seemed to indicate that the Clubbers would win over the Aggies by a decisive score. Seven counters were registered to the credit of the Clubbers before the A. & NJ five scored once The Aggies tied the score, however, and the rest of the period it was an even-Stephen affair.
 The~ second half proved the undoing of the Ciubbers, for the Aggies ran wild, and scored 26 points against the locals F. In this period Red" Hughes and Clayton were right and scored point after point. registering the majority of the Crimsons' counters
 Red Hughes, Aggie center was the undoubted star of the game. Red ran wild over the Clubbers. His passing, guarding and shooting were equally good. He seems to be about the best center seen in Birmingham in some time.
 Tammy McGowan, captain of the local squad, played a brilliant game at for ward. Tommy's work was all that could be desired His shooting was accurate and his guarding of the best. Tommy played one of his best games of the sea son. Sotock was an able running mate for Tommy.
 The A. & M. Team played one of the cleanest games seen here this season. Last nights game was utterly devoid of the roughness which has featured so many of the games here this season.

FIRST GUN FIRED IN AN ATTACK ON
 INCOME TAX LAW
Three Suits Entered in Dal- las Circuit Court By Those Who Claim Act
 Unconstitutional

Selma, February 20.-(Special.)-- The opening guns were fired Friday M a combined attack on the state in come tax law in the shape of three suits entered in the circuit court of Dallas county by an association of business men. bankers and prominent planters of the state who claim that the law is unconstitutional and should not be enforced.
 One of the suits is filed by Mrs Helen V. Ullman, a nonresident against Liepold Bros to enjoin them from reporting the amount of rent paid to her on her store property. This raises the point that to tax the rent on either store or farm property is property tax the same as a tax on either store or farm.
 The next is a bill by W. c. Grimes against Eliasberg Brothers Mercantile Co.,, to enjoin them from divulging the amount of salary paid to him. This raises the point that salary is but the money, or its equivalent. paid to one for services rendered. and to tax salary is tax on money or property
 The next is a suit by Bonish & Meyer as stockholders, against the Union Iron Work, seeking to enjon them from paying tax on it's income, upon the ground that the income is money or solvent credits and hence property and ean be only taxes at the same rate as all other property
 E. c. Melvin, president of the Selma National Bank. who is the chairman of the associated business men who are bringing these test. suits, says:
 These suits do not question the right of the legislature to levy an in- cone tax. but they do question the right to levy higher rate of taxation on salaries, wages and rents and other income than the rate levied on other property. Section 214 of the constitu- tion provides that no rate of taxation in excess of 65-100 of 1 per cent shall be levied on property for state pur- poses, whereas the income tax law levies a rate for from ? tosf per cent

 Riggs Stephenson. of football and baseball fame was the star of the game. "Stevie7 carried the ball up and down the court with much rapd- ity and added four points to Alabama's $ total score. At the other guard posi- tion Hudson was a worthy running mate for Stevenson.
 Nagle, the flashY forward for the Louisiana doctors, performed well in his position. He was responsible for more than half of Tulanes score.
 Alabama leaves Saturday for d weeks road trip to include Mississippi A. X M. Tulane. Louisiana State, Mo- bile I. M c. A. and MontGomery Y. M c. A.. after which the season will be brought to a close.

Do You Know Why Red Flooded Men
 Are Successful?

There are just two kinds of men the weak, thin blooded, half sick, discouraged kind, who lack ambi- ton, strength and vita1ity-and the red-blooded, ambitious, self-reliant men-vigorous and successful.
 The strong, red-blooded, healthy men who can stand the strain of hard work, and carry heavy re- responsibilities, without worry or fear, are tho men who succeed.
 Do you know why they are red blooded, full of energy and vigori Do you know why they succeed?
 The blood supplies the material necessary for nourishing every tis- sue, nerve, bone, muscle and fluid in the body, and for carrying on every process of life.
 There arc over three million red blood eorpuscles in one droplet of blood, and these red blood cor puscles carry the iron in tho tlood.
 Iron attracts oxygen, just as a magnet attracts steel. Withott oxygen you cannot live It vital izes the blood and makes it red, rich and healthy. That's why red blooded men arc strong, energetic, and successful. Their blood is vii talixed with life-giving oxygen, and literally supplied with the iron and eell-salts that nature must have to maintain health.
 REOLO produces . rapid in- crease in the number of red blood cells and plasna of the blood. It increases the supply of oxygen in the blood, stimulates the nervous system, and accelerates the circu- lation, sending through the entire body . stream of rich, red, vitalized blood, abundantly supplied with oxygen, iron and the eell-salts that nourish and rebuild the cells
 Start the REOLO systematic treatment today and you will be delighted with the steady improve nnent in your health.
