SEIcREST BROS. WARN
AGAINST BATTERY "DoPEn

Seicrest Bros, local representatives
for the Willard battery, advise the
public to beware of some of the
'dopes" which are offered to the pub
lie.
They say some of the battery medi-
cines are really harmless, and the
worst that can be said about them is
that they do no good-except that
they relieve the car owner of five or
six dollars which he might invest in
gas, tires, OIL or something else more
needful to the car. Further that other
dope offered to the public actually
takes away from the battery plates In
stead of doing any good whatever.
he,-Seicrest boys are experts in
the battery business and it will pay
car owners to consult them when any
salesman tries to sell some g1aran-
teed remedy to make your battery last
longer. Their advise in matters of
this kind is gladly given.

SURGEON PROVES
TO HAVE POETIC ABILITY

DR.. A. W. Macarthur has written
some lines which we regard as worthy
OF Publishing. DIR. Macarthur is very
modest man and had no thought of
breaking out in the newspaper when
he penned the lines, but we have pre-
vailed upon him to let US give them
to our readers. Here is the poem:
THE WORLD IN ARMS
The world in arms, the world at war
Nations gone mad as never before
Its peoples impoverished, starved and
Ill;
Its only impulse, that to kill!
Why this lust of pillage and blood
In world so fair, so worthy of good?
'Tis the knock of mammon at the door,
Accompanied by Mars, as ever before,
And his legions of cuthroats, robbers
and thieves,
The devil himself commander of
these
Leaving behind trail of death,
A world in sorrow, of loved ones
bereft
What profits nation in such a role,
II 1t gain the whole world and lose its
own soul?
DIR. A. w. Macarthur.

BASKET BALL LEAGUE
FORMED FOR DELTA

A committee composed of A. M.
Mathews, Rev. Pimlott, Edwin Shar-
man, DIR. Cleland and c. L. Crawford
met Wednesday afternoon for the pur-
pose of organizing basket ball
league here in Delta.
At this meeting it was decided to
organize league of six teams. The
following organizations will have
teams to represent them in the
league: Lions, Elks, Rotarians,
Methodists, school faculty and the
American Legion.
In so far as it is possible, the men
for these teams will be chosen from
the busines men of Delta and no per-
son who is not more than 20 years of
age will be permitted to play on any
team. Other rules and regulations
will be put into effect as the necessity
for them arises, but it is the sincere
desire of the committee that the men
interested in this organization will en-
ter into the spirit of the thing in such
way as to make rules and regula-
tions almost unnecessary.
The high school gym will be used
and the first practice will be held
there next Tuesday evening at 7:30
o'clock. All men who are to play will
report with gym shoes at that hour.
A. M. Mathews will be in charge
and the time will be divided SO that
all six teams will be given an oppor-
tunity to practice each night. Get
busy and do some boosting and see
what a good organization Delta can
put out. ..-.
