LIBERAL BOYS BEAT BOTH
MEADE AND MINNEoLA SAT
Minneola Girls Took a Fast Game
From L. H. S. Girls, 81 to 40
In the Evening.

The Meade and Liberal high
school basket ball team went round
and round Saturday, afternoon with
the result that Liberal won the game
Is to 16. There was good attend
ance and lot Of pep, and the Liber-
al lads were going good all the time.
In the evening a double header was
played between the boys and girls
cams of Liberal and Minneola.
>rThe girls game came first and al
Though two Of the Liberal girls were
not really able to play, they held the
fast Minneola bunch to 37-40 score.
The Minneola girls are the fastest
out-of-town bunch which has ever ap-
peared on the Liberal court, and
would have been stiff competition
with the Liberal girls at their best,
while the lack of practice and the
fact that two of the girls has been i'll,
put them to much disadvantage. Back
ers Of the girls team here are OF the
opinion that the Liberal girls can
beat Minneola when in proper form.
When this game was finished the
Liberal and Minneola boys teams
went two rounds to a finish, Liberal
playing circles around Minneola with
q score Of Al to 9. While Liberal
gave some stunning exhibitions of
team work, they so far ouclassed the
Minneola boys that the game became
more or less uninteresting.
Five games are to be played here
this week, the towns and dates will
be given tomorrow.
The largest crowd of the season
witnessed the games Saturday night
and were very enthusiastic.

BASE PLEAD GUILTY AND
{lOO AND SIX MONTHS
Made Booze But Would Not Admit That

For Personal Use
BOOZE PROVES A COSTLY BEVERAGE

John Base was arraigned in jus.
Hce court Saturday on q charge Of
having intoxicating liquors in his
possession, pleaded guilty and was
fined 500 and six months in jail.

the north part Of the county Thurs-
day morning and found Base max
ing whiskey. They brought Base,
the still and the whiskey to Liberal
and committed Base to jail. They
had the goods on him so he decided
not to fight the case, saying he was
In bad and would have to take his
medicine.
Officials say Base is repentant,
and regrets that he engaged in the
distilling business, but maintains
he made it for his own use only.
Z very effort on the part of officials
% learn from him whether or not he
had sold any of the booze was met
by prompt and definite denial.
Base has wife and two small
children. Representative citizens of
the north part Of the county are Of
the opinion that he should be made
to serve his sentence despite the fact
tina the wishes to be at home to at
tend to his farming operations. So
many paroles have been granted in
whiskey cases in the past that these
citizens fear Base will be the object
of clemency and they are opposed to

Treatment For Limbcrneck.

The condition known as limberneck
in chickens is in reality not disease,
but a symptom of several diseases
which are characterized by paraly-
sis of the muscles of the neck, making
Sc impossible for the bird to raise its
head from the ground. This condi-
ton, the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture says, is due to the alb
scrption of poisons from the intes-
tines, which act upon the nervous sys-
TEN and cause paralysis.
Limberneck is generally ASSOCIATE
ed with indigestion or the eating of
moldy grain or putrid meat or with
intestinal worms, The best treat
ment is to give full dose Of purga-
tive medicine--that Is, 80 or 90
grains of Ersom salt or 8 or tea
spoons of castor oil for a grown fowl
and often the birds win be cured
wilnin "a hours. In case they are
no. letter wl'h:, or Gays 1t Is not
advis ,c,e to keel them.

Standardized Poultry.

Here are five reasons given by spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture for keeping
standardized poultry:
Standardized poultry is more uni
form in size, type, and color.
STANDARDIZED poultry is more at
tractive in appearance and appeals
more strongly to purchasers of stock
and eggs.
Standardized poultry offers a
greater combination of practical and
useful qualities suitable to the needs
of the farmer and poultry keeper.
The products of standardized
fowls are more uniform in quality.
are in greater demand, and bring bet
ter prices.
Standardized poultry means great
er success and better profits.
The chicken should always be wait
ing and ready when the next feeding
time comes, say specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.

Why Colds are Dangerous

You are often told to beware OF
cold," but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, low
ers the>vitality and paves the way for
the more serious diseases. People
who contract pneumonia first take
cold. The longer a cold hangs on,
the greater the danger, especially
from the germ diseases, as a cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the germs of con-
sumption, diphtheria, scarlet fever
and whooping cough. The quicker
you get rid of your cold, the less
the danger of contracting one of these
diseases. Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy has a great reputation as cure
for colds and can be depended upon.
1t is pleasant to take. m

JAPAN DOES NOT
FAVOR DISARMING
Ex-Minister Explains Stand Of Diet
Against Reduction.

Toxic, April 23.-It is no wonder
said Ikuo .Oyama, former professor of
the waseda Outlook, that Ex-Min-
lister Ozak's motion for armament
curtailment was defeated by 2S5 to
SO, when we remember that the Diet,
while 1t represents the bourgoisie, is
at the same time representative of
nationalism. Proposals for the ex-
tension of ornaments or the compile
ton of national defense, so long as
they are not alarmingly extreme, will
be accepted by the Diet, but we can
never expect that such a question of
disarmamnt will gain the support of
majority"
He continued: For instance, It is
proverbial that one of the four
planks of the Seiyukai Government
party is the Completion of National
Defense while the Kenseikai opposi-
ton has a similar policy. The Sci
yukai and the Kenseikai have no di-
vergence Of opinion about the i'm
portant questions of the nations and
they act on the same principles, or
more truly on no principles.
THE reduction of ornaments is
obviously repugnant to the naval and
military authorities, and they ap-
proved of it as an ideal only because
they were afraid of an attack on the
budget"
Mr.. Oyama, who is known as So
cialist, declared that Mr.. 0zaki COM
mitted a grave miscalculation in lin
iting the evils of formidable arma-
ments to the decline of national
strength and in failing to deny the
evils of capitalism and nationalism
which are the fundamental source of
aggressive imperialism. He contin-
ued: His silence about capitalism
and nationalism implies acknowledge
ment of those sources of ornaments
competition, while his suggestion that
the extension of ornaments in Ger
many resulted in the growing influ-
ence of Socialists as well as his belief
in the future of the League of Ma
lions shows that he is only sup
porter of capitalistic international
friendship"

JOBS CLOSED TO WOMEN

In a recent ruling by the Maryland
Encouragement, women are barred
from every public office in that state
where the statutes indicate the Of
fic should be held only by male. AS
practically every office is created by
statutes which use the masculine pro-
noun, the opinion is held to be all
inclusive. Maryland women may hold
office only by special legislation. In
the attorneys opinion II was held that
the 10th amendment applies only to
the right of suffrage and not the
right to hold office, Virginia women
are also having their troubles. Under
a ruling by the encouragement OF
that state, women will not be eiigi-
BILE as ;ui ors until there is an amend
ment to the statutes. However, the
next legislature will probably change
the law.

By WILDFIRE IN BEDS

The tobacco plants show symptoms

unmistakable evidences of wildfire,
for which it is said there is no cure.
No evidence of wildfire is shown until
the leaves are about the size of half
dollar. The younger plants are not
affected.
