dictionary that he had, by looking up
many Of the words he didn't know.
When he was twenty-one years old
he had job in a grocery store in
New Salem. During this time, much
to his astonishment, he discovered
that he could make better speech than
some men on the legislature. Later
he found a book containing a copy
of the laws of Indiana, the Consti-
tuition Of the United States, and a
copy of the Declaration of Independ-
ence. He read these through thor
oughly and for the first time he be-
gan to think seriously of his coun-
try's needs.
He had his first experience at writ
ing when writing for a publication
called "The American Government"
Our country needs such citizens as
these that take advantage of the op-
portunities before them. He had no
intention Of becoming great but he
just hoped to become good American
citizen, which he became by making
use of the opportunities before him.
He was prepared for the great po-
sition which he held by getting all the
education possible. He would walk
miles to hear a debate or public
speech, and would borrow books
whenever possible.
He was lawyer before he became
president and he was noted for his
speaking ability and his debates.

SEE THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
OF THE SEASON, FEBRUARY 18

While the local games do not deter
mine the District championship, nev-
ertheless there will be no game at the
tournament at Malta that will attract
more interest than the Poplar-G -Glas-
gov game. The Poplar team has not
lost a game to date. They have high
hopes for district championship. This
will be the final game by the first
team this season at home unless it
will be necessary to put on a home
game for financial reasons. If you
cannot go to Malta to see the tourn-
ament, the Poplar game at Glasgow
is the game you want to see.
The local boys returned from the
western trip with three victories to
their credit. The lineup was COM
posed of Huston, Baer, Barr, Kampfer,
Baker, Wedum and Friedl. The score
with Malta was 50 to II in Glasgow's
favor. At Harlem the score was,
Harlem 18, Glasgow 23. At Chinook
the score was Glasgow 81 and Chi
nook II.
The Glasgow boys were playing at
disadvantage at both Harlem and
Chinook as it was necessary for the
boys to ride on all kinds of vehicles
including freight-engines and jitneys
in order to keep their appointments
Some of the boys are hobbling around
this week due to frozen feet and hard
colds resulting from the extreme ex-
posure. The railroad accidents tieing
up all through trains for two days
was the cause of much discomfort for
the boys but this was not sufficient
to keep down their enthusiasm and
skill as basketball artists.

Boyle Land Co. Receivers
Damages on Injured Crop

Damages of $1,000 were allowed ii
a verdict returned Tuesday by a jury
in Judge H. II. Ewing's court in the
suit of the Boyle Land company
against B. F. Palmer and H. d. Hough
The judgment was for the amount
sought in the suit, which charged the
defendants with allowing a herd of
cattle to trample down and destroy a
field Of wheat owned by the land COM
pany, on Box Elder creek.
Only one witness was examined in
behalf of the defense and he was the
counsel for the defendants. On the
stand he admitted that the cattle had
been driven across the field. He said,
however, his investigation revealed
that the wheat had not been damaged
except in a small way. Witnesses for
the plaintiff company asserted that
81 900 did not cover the actual damage
caused by the herd.

Treating Potato Seed With
Corrosive SubIimdte Solution

Circular No. 13 of the cooperative
extension services gives the following
for treating seed potatoes againct
common scab, black rust and black
leg:
Obtain two so gallon barrels. Bore
a hole near the bottom of each bar
rel and cork il up. Set the barrels
on a box or platform high enough to
get a pail under. Then prepare the
treating solution a follows: Dissolve
four ounces Of corrosive sublimate in
one gallon of hot water in a wooden
pail. Pour this into one of the bar
rels and add 29 gallons Of cold water.
Dump the potatoes to be treated into
the solution and let them soak for
l 1-2 hours. Fill up the other barrel
with potatoes to with in four inches
of the top. w hen the potatoes in the
first barrel have been soaked the re-
quired time, draw off the solution and
pour it over the potatoes in the sec
ond barrel. Then dump out the
treated tubers and plant Immediately
spread to dry.
Two barrels used in this manner
will keep one man busy cutting ard
treating. bu-HOl use the same soul
tion more than four times. Dump it
out and prepare a new one-@The
above solution is sufficient for treat
ing from Is to 20 bushels of seed.
Corrosive ssublimate is deadly poison
when taken internally and therefore
should be taken TO keep it away
children and stock, and in clean
ing the utensils used, which should be
Of wooden construction only. The
should be treated before
.sprouting or cutting or they may be
by the solution, which should
not be used more than four times, as
il loses strength with each treatment.

''IfI Could Only

IKNOw / WOULD FEEL BETTER"

How often have you felt that way :?
How often have you wished for some
thing to give you genuine and lasting
relief from gas?
Don't buy any ordinary dyspepsia
tablets for temporary results. Go to
a first class drug store and ask for a
bottle of genuine Baalmaan's Gas Tab
lets. Take three an hour before meals
and again three after eating-then
watch. Now comes a surprise. No
more gas, no aforementioned feeling
no difficult breathing, no bloating.
Remember, Baalmaan's Gas Tablets
are not only for the relief of gas, but
also forSthe prevention of gas. Most
people with gas suffer from rvo
dyspepsia-not common indigestion.

the cost 10 the county of the fedora
aid projects proposed to be built this

of bond money into the federal pro-
jects, and it was TO learn how much
of this would be required that a con
ference was held Friday woth District
Engineer Z. T. Harlow, of the state
highway commission, and thus learn
how much would be left TO take care
of the odd jobs that must be attended
to this year. 1t is expected that il
will be several weeks before the es-
Inmates are available.
In the meantime the ArminQt6n-
Riceville project continues to be held
up through the failure TO obtain all
the right-of-way, though it is still
hoped to obtain this and have thework
under way by the first of June. The

"The Kid" which win be the attrac.
ton at the Pythian next Wednesday
and Thursday, is the most striking
venture of Charlie Chaplin into the
field of six-reel attractions. The pro-
duction is about three times the length
of the comedians previous pictures
and is considerably more than three
times funnier than anything he has
done. The story has a real plot, and
the humor is caused by situations in a
real story and is doubly laughable be-
cause of the comical antics Chaplin
can always be counted upon in any
situation.
The story carries so much delicious
humor that in the hands of an ordi-
nary actor it would be a comedy hit,
but with Chaplin in the role of the fos-
ter father of eThe Kid" the production
is the fastest laugh s~ustainer that has
