WHY TOADS ARE FOUND
 EMBEDDED IN COAL

Science has at last proved by eX- periments why it is that so cany pet rified toads have been found imbed- ded in stone or their remains in Jumps of coal The toads, it seems, have habit of crawling into tiny crevices in the stone or wood or coal, as the case may be, while they are still very young. From time to time they emerge to get food, but as they can live for year without it they sometimes stay in the hole too long and grow too large to emerge. If they get plenty of air they will live for twelve months or so, but if the crevices close up they die sooner. In other words they can live without food but they cannot exist without air.

 Asked to account for this he con- fessed h'e was puzzled, but suggested there were even more headaches in soft drinks" than in alcoholic. The headache remedy, be it said, con- tains no alcohol nor any substance that can be turned into alcohol bv the stomach. A physician remarked that everybody who drinks or eats much sweet stuff turns his stomach into distillery.

Kills His Wife After
 Baby's Birth, Charge

Florence, Ala, Feb. 9.-James A.. Kidd. employe of Plant No. 2, Muscle Shoals, was given a preliminary hear ing today before United States Com missioner C.. A. Avant on the charge of having choked his wife to death following the birth of child. His bond was fixed at $1 ,000 which was made. Kidd's wife died on the night of January 24 and she was buried the next day, there being no charges preferred against her husband at that time. Three women who at tended Mrs. Kidd made statements to various parties that there had been i'll feeling between the husband and wife.
 It was alleged Kidd had threaten ed to get a divorce and marry an other woman and the women declar ed they noticed on examination of the body that there were deep finger prints about the neck and there was ever appearance that the woman had been choked to death.
 Parties seeing her the day before her death said she was in perfect health. On the statements of these witnesses Kidd was arrested several days after the death of his wife and today he was given a formal hearing.
 Kidd maintained his innocence, but there was sufficient evidence to require bail for his appearance be- fore a higher court. Kidd came to works a few months ago from Lawrence county.

Supt. McChesney led the Convoca- tion exercises Wednesday, February 4th. He talked on "Why Athletics are Put in the School" He said they were not there merely to fill in but were put in for several diff ferent reasons. First, athletics teach the advantages of clean living and teaches one to make rapid and com plete decision. Second, team work must be had in athletics as well as in any other business. It is the one big thing that counts, not only on the athletic field but in every walk of life. He cited the instance that some towns improve much more rapid than others. This is due to the team work they have developed Another reason why athletics are put in a school is because it arouses enthu- siasm. M. H. s. needs more pep" on athletics. The last reason for put ting athletics in school is because it teaches loyalty-something we all need It is worth something to ev- eryone to learn to be loyal, to ones school, ones country, and ons self.

The students of the Junior and Senior High School had the pleasure of listening to very interesting lec- ture Monday morning from a full blooded Indian-Chief Red Fox of the Sioux Tribe. Chief Red Fox, who is graduate of Carlisle Indian Col lege, has served seven years in the navy and saw active service in the World War, During the course of his lecture Chief Red Fox stated that gaas as the Indian had been misrepre- sented to the white man; so had the white man been misrepresented to the Indian He said that when the white man came to this country, the Indian welcomed him as a brother. The white man brought q powerful drug with him that was bad influ- ence to the Indians. He. went on to say that the government never in- tended for the Indians to be mis- treated. The white man paid taxes to buy food and clothing for the Indians. 1t was distributed by agents. The agents mostly proved unfaithful and robbed the Indians, which brought on rebelhons. But times have changed. The Indian is treated well, given land, houses provided teachers and schools. There are 5s large Indians institutions, 232 dis trict schools attended by 58,0O0 In dian children.

LOOKING BACKWARD

(By William R. Shields)
/ love to think of days in camp,
when early in the morn,
l family heard-and deeply cursed
the BURGERS raueous horn;
l sit and dream of training deysa
when 1 would hike and drill.
And learn a thousand fancy ways
the subtle Boche to kill;
And often from the field I'd trudge
with sweat upon my brow:
l love to lie in bed and think.

l love to think of days-and nights
when in the snow and rain,
I stood on guard, and froze my feet
and almost went insane;
I love to think OF slushy days when
on my sturdy back
I. tote through Frances sticky mud
hefty army pack;
And oft at night I'd hunt a berth
in some damp, chilly NOW:
l love to lie in bed and think,
needn't do it now.
All, well! "the moving finger writes
and, having writ, moves on"

The time has passed when ! was

But still l don't feel very blue;

And lie in bed, and thank my stars

by the Disciples churches which
have responded so nobly to the call
for Christian service said DR..
Joseph w. Hagin, state director of
the campaign, on the eve of leaving
for Covington to preach in his own
church in that city Sunday. at
has been a lesson to us in unselfish
devotion to the cause of the Master
and to the great cause Of education
and missions of the Disciples Broth
erhood. The fact that many churches
have had other campaigns on theri
hands and have not had the OPP
portunity to make the campaign nee
essary to raise the quotas assigned
to them has handicapped us and
made necessary a continuance of the
campaign. DR.. Weaver is amply
able to. look after it, and opportunity
will be given before it closes for
every member of the Christian
church in Kentucky to give or
pledge a sum of money for this
most worthy cause.
''Surely the gifts of the churches
which have responded to our APP
peal is like treasure laid up in
Heaven for it will make possible
the payment of living salaries to
hard-pressed teachers in our col
leges and improvements which alb

DR.. Weaver will have an Office in

cational department. from which he
will conduct the campaign for the
remainder of the fund, which it is
hoped to raise within the next two
months.

Pills a good medicine for kidney
trouble for they have done me a
great deal of good whenever | have
had occasion to use them. Several
times have suffered from pains
that knew were caused by weak
kidneys. At those times | got Doan's
Kidney Pills and used them as direct
ed. They never failed to cure the
attack"

Mr.. King said; 81 still have an err
cellent opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills. I use this remedy occasional
