WOOD WINS THREE STRAIGHT

The three days celebration held
here on July }, 2 and 3rd, drew good
crowds each day. The ball games
were good and proved to be- the star
attraction each day. The Wood team
won every game. On Thursday they
defeated Garter by score of 3 to II;
Friday they trimmed Witten by a
score Of 2 to 2; Saturday they got Mis-
sions scalp by score of 2 to 0 in fa-
vor of Wood. This was perhaps the
hardest fought battle of the series.
The two teams were pretty evenly
matched and for a time it looked as
though neither side would score, how
ever in the last half of the seventh
inning, Wood managed to run in two
scores. There were bucking broncho
contests. roping contests, and racing
each day, and the Indians also put on
their tribal dances. There were not
SO many Indians here as had been OK
pected, as they divided and part Of
them went TO Bad Nation where they
had another big celebration. This
celebration at Wood was under the
management OF the Indians, and the
whites had little or nothing to do with
the celebration except to provide the
ball games. The celebration was pro
nounced success and everyone in at
tendance seemed to be enjoying them
selves.

A thrifty, ambitious man grows tired of paying N%IEGM
rent. He knows it must be paid-month in and -
month out-a steady drain and, more's the pity, an
endless chain, for the payments mean nothing for y
the future. The water that's gone over never turns
the wheel again-of that you may be sure-so why :
should you keep on paying the landlord when you might be
paying yourself? And, would you believe it, you can buy or
- build a cozy, attractive home nearly as easy as
at you can pay your rent.

Buying the Home

80 Your savings fund is steadily growing and has
now reached a figure when you are warranted in
entering into negotiations toward selecting and secur-

make and the terms of that bargain will, of course, de-

~SaUing-The First Step

1-M1GG Most homes are built on credit. To secure
that credit there must be some collateral. The first step, there
fore, in building a home is to start to save and place those
savings with a reliable financial institution that makes a bust
ness of loaning money for the building of homes. Now you
have a definite goal in view-you are saving your money to
pay for a home-the question is how much can you save from
your present income and what will that saving amount to in a
gwen period. Let us see what the figures show.

MOVING Ndp1cTuREs AND EYES,
U. S. Pub lc Health Service Says Pic
lures got Injurious to Sight.

The fol owing bulletin, issued by
the United States Public Health Ser
vice, will 10 doubt prove of interest
Ito the ge eral public, and especially
to patrons OF the moving picture
shows:
"The f at that millions Of people
Igo to motbn picture shows through
out the Uited States daily without
Eexperiencig any discomfort to their
eyes, or tlat such eye trouble is
found is nit traceable to over indul-
gence' in he movies, would seem to
indicate tht motion pictures are not
| Injurious tt the vision.
''1t is the, Of couse, that some
jpeople dd experience a certain
amount Of sye strain at g motion pic
ture. but h these cases the trouble
appears to pe due to an ocular defect
rather than to the motion picture.
Such persds should therefore have
their eyes Examined by a competent
eye specialst, for it is quite certain
that the sane person would find even
more discomfort in the same period
Of concentrated reading.
"In this c,nnection it may be point
ed out thatsemployes Of motion pic
ture playho(ses, who spend large
part of the}day looking at the pic
lures, do notseem to be troubled with
their eyes any more than the average
individual. This, is largely person
al observatip since no extensive in
vestigations have been made of the
eyes of motion picture theatre en-
ployes.
'It is safl to say a person may
witness a piture play lasting about
two hours anl half each day witH
out strainingI the eyes or experience
ing any disco nfort, provided the eyes
are good andthere are no hidden de-
fects to the tsion. Indeed it is not
unlikely that motion picture show
might be the means of advising one
of a faulty vSion.
'Tn case of eye trouble coming on
after concentrating the eyes on the
printed pages of a book for long
period one dos not blame the book,
but thinks att once Of the eyes and
the probable Ieed of glasses.
Eye discomfort in the movies
should thereflre be regarded as a
danger signal and should lead the
sufferer to thI doctors Office for an
examination.
